In the following days, Zhuang Jihua was reading documents, these documents contained orders from the Generalissimo of Guangzhou's office, circulars, and drafts of telegrams to and fro, and Chiang Kai-shek only instructed Yu Jishi to do anything in peacetime, and only took Yu Jishi when he went out to inspect the troops and participated in rallies, so that Yu Jishi would "envy" his "leisure" every time he saw Zhuang Jihua, and finally simply claimed to be the chief of the interior. Zhuang Jihua also knew Yu Jishi's thoughts, after Yu Jishi graduated, he came to Chiang Kai-shek's side, but he really wanted to go down to the army to lead the troops, but Chiang Kai-shek just wouldn't let him go.

Many people in the school headquarters also felt strange, originally thinking that after Zhuang Jihua was promoted to the principal's adjutant, he would inevitably follow Chiang Kai-shek's side from time to time, or go to various places to "proclaim decrees" as a "messenger", and the adjutant secretaries around the big men were all very glorious positions.

After Zhuang Jihua comprehensively analyzed these documents, he wrote two analysis reports: "Analysis of the Dynamics of the Yunnan Gui Army" and "Analysis of the Situation Around Guangzhou and Guangdong"; There are also two proposals: the Proposal for the Establishment of a Military Intelligence Service and the Proposal for the Expansion of the Work of the General Staff. Among the latter two suggestions, Zhuang Jihua spent a lot of effort.

The Whampoa Academy Army now does not have an intelligence department, and Zhuang Jihua was able to write these two analysis reports entirely because the current warlords have no scruples about doing things, Yang Ximin not only publicly telegraphed to support Tang Jiyao, but also the military transfer was also blatant, and he did not take the Generalissimo's Mansion in his eyes at all, and the newspapers all reported it publicly. Also doing the same were Zhou Yinren from Fujian, Benren from Jiangxi, and Sun Chuanfang from Zhejiang.

Zhuang Jihua's analysis report was based on newspapers, which made him a little unsure, and he was anxious to feel the lack of accurate information, not only the military and political intelligence of the Yunnan Gui army but also the surrounding provinces. This reminded him of the CIA of the United States and the KGB of the Soviet Union in his previous life, if he started to establish an intelligence unit now, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the Northern Expedition in the future, and in the long run, it would also be helpful in the war of resistance.

In his proposal, Zhuang Jihua gave a detailed description of the functions and organization of the military intelligence department, and for this reason, he also specifically asked the Soviet Russian advisers about the organization of the Cheka, but these Soviet and Russian advisers were secretive, and Zhuang Jihua was very disappointed that he had found nothing.

Unable to get the KGB's situation, Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to think about the CIA, he was neither a military fan nor an intelligence fan in his previous life, and could only rely on a half-understood understanding to propose the organizational structure of this organization.

"Functions and role of the Intelligence Service (omitted)"

"Composition of the Intelligence Service:

1. The Intelligence Department consists of the Liangguang Intelligence Section, the Lianghu Intelligence Section, the Lower Yangtze River Intelligence Section, the Northern Intelligence Section, and the Foreign Military Intelligence Section.

2. Geographical division of each section:

1. The Liangguang Intelligence Section is responsible for Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, 2, the Lianghu Intelligence Section is responsible for Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, 3, the Intelligence Section of the Lower Yangtze River is responsible for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, 4, and the Northern Intelligence Section is responsible for Shandong, Henan, Zhili, and other areas north of the Yellow River.5 Foreign military intelligence is responsible for collecting military, political, and economic intelligence from Britain, the United States, and France.

The Intelligence Division shall have a Director and a Section Chief; There are several intelligence analysts in each section. There are several intelligence teams in each region, and the composition of the personnel varies.

Fourth, the composition of the intelligence team:

Each intelligence group has a team leader who is responsible for directing the activities of the intelligence officer, and has a number of intelligence officers, intelligence support officers, and liaison officers.

5. The Roles of the Intelligence Group Personnel are Divided The leader of the intelligence group is responsible for directing the entire intelligence team, the intelligence officer is responsible for obtaining information, the support officer is responsible for providing equipment support, and the liaison officer is also responsible for transmitting information in peacetime.

6. The content of intelligence is divided into military intelligence, political intelligence, and economic intelligence.

1. Military intelligence includes information on troop movements, composition, commanders, equipment, morale, and operational deployments.

2. Political intelligence includes....

3. Economic information, including taxes, fiscal expenditures, military salaries, whether officials are corrupt, etc.

4. Foreign military intelligence also includes military, political, economic, and scientific and technological (Zhuang Jihua said in more detail), this part of Zhuang Jihua elaborated on the influence of the economy on the decision-making of foreign political axes, and the Western political axes are to a certain extent determined by the economy, and politics determines the military, and he even analyzed the economic reasons for the outbreak of the European War (World War I).

Regarding scientific and technological information, Zhuang Jihua estimated that people in this era basically did not know about it, so he said it in more detail. He counted the tremendous increase in production and military equipment caused by science and technology, the promotion of the combat effectiveness of the army, and the promotion of the development of strategy and tactics.

"The advent of machine guns and heavy artillery made countries completely abandon Napoleon's tactics of charging soldiers, and the collection of scientific and technological intelligence can promote the development of military equipment of our army."

"Scientific and technological intelligence can shorten the research and development process of our [***] equipment, and the civilian side can also promote the development of science and technology in our country, so the collection of such intelligence is beneficial and harmless."

……。

In another proposal for improving the work of the General Staff, Zhuang Jihua secretly expanded the current school army staff department, which is only the size of a division's staff department, and Zhuang Jihua expanded it into the general staff department, and for this reason he added two departments on the existing basis: the logistics department and the training department.

With regard to the training department, he pointed out that the training department's job is to formulate and inspect the training standards of the whole army, and at the same time put forward a manual for the whole army to meet the training standards, which is summed up on the basis of the training of the Seventh Company, and has no experience in the previous life at all.

In the manual, he laid down the training requirements, including marching, individual tactics, squad and platoon tactics, assassination, shooting attainment, grenade throwing distance, etc. In addition, there is a training manual for mountain warfare, which is a summary of the training of the three battalions some time ago.

As for the logistics department, Zhuang Jihua just wanted to bring him under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Headquarters and adjust the work of the existing logistics department. The existing logistics department of the school army is mainly responsible for transporting military supplies to the front line, but Zhuang Jihua has also incorporated the management of hospitals and military factories into the logistics department, adding a military equipment section and a transportation section to it, and at the same time requiring the logistics department to also undertake the work of organizing and supporting the front team in wartime.

Originally, Zhuang Jihua also wanted to write the reserve into the plan, but the implementation of the reserve must have the cooperation of the political axe administrative department, for the current Whampoa, or for Chiang Kai-shek, it is beyond his ability, so Zhuang Jihua also gave up.

After writing these documents, Zhuang Jihua felt afraid that the statement that Chiang Kai-shek liked to engage in spy rule came to mind, which made him want to tear up the suggestion about the intelligence department, but if there is an intelligence department, the benefits to the country are obvious. This made it difficult for Zhuang Jihua to choose, and after several ideological struggles, Zhuang Jihua sighed and put the file in the folder.

When he came to Chiang Kai-shek's door, Yu Jishi stopped him and told He Yingqin and Director Zhou that they were inside, and asked him to come back later, Zhuang Jihua put the documents on Yu Jishi's desk, and asked him to hand them over to Chiang Kai-shek and go back to rest by himself. Yu Jishi did not refuse.

Damn, Zhuang Jihua felt that he was like the kind of person who hid in a dark corner and planned a conspiracy, and he was a little depressed in his heart, and when he returned to the room, he went to bed and slept without hesitation.

I don't know how long it took, the knock outside the door woke Zhuang Jihua up, and when he opened the door and saw that it was Yu Ji, Zhuang Jihua asked him what he was going to do with sleepy eyes, and Yu Jishi blamed why did you fall asleep, the principal is waiting for you. Zhuang Jihua muttered, you take two days without sleeping, try it.

Then he washed his face and tidied up in the mirror before going to see Chiang Kai-shek with Yu Jishi. When Zhuang Jihua made this move, Yu Jishi waited on the side very understandingly, Chiang Kai-shek was a person who paid great attention to military appearance, no matter who it was, he would be reprimanded if he was untidy to see him.

"Cultural Revolution, your future report should be handed over to me directly, don't let Yu Jishi pass it on; You also have to remember that you can't read his report. ”

After Zhuang Jihua entered the house, Chiang Kai-shek called Yu Jishi in at the same time, and the two of them didn't expect that the first thing Chiang Kai-shek said was this, and the two didn't have time to think about it and agreed in unison. Then Chiang Kai-shek asked Yu Jishi to go out and guard the door, and he didn't see anyone during this time.

After Yu Jishi went out, Chiang Kai-shek showed a smile and said to Zhuang Jihua: "You sit." "Yes," Zhuang Jihua sat down on the sofa next to him after speaking, and then added: "Now it's time to rest." Chiang Kai-shek also smiled when he heard this.

"Where do you think the Intelligence Service should start first?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"The students believe that if you want to manage the army, you must first select a general, first determine the director of intelligence, and then recruit intelligence officers." Zhuang Jihua's heart sank, and he said in his heart It seems that the rumors are not bad, you really like to play spies.

"Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the region first, and start with that area."

"After Chen Jiongming fled to Fujian, Sun Chuanfang, the actual controller of Fujian, had an unclear attitude, and the changes in these places will have a major impact on the revolution in the coming months." Zhuang Jihua pondered his analysis of the Dian Gui Army.

"The students believe that if the Yunnan Gui Army rebels in the next few months, the General Staff Office should conduct a battlefield exercise to counterinsurgency, and the troops should also carry out political mobilization for counterinsurgency, and carry out a certain amount of troop deployment."

"Well, you go on." Chiang Kai-shek leaned back in his chair expressionlessly.

"Now to start planning and collecting the military deployment of the Yunnan Gui Army in Guangzhou, it is already very tight in terms of time, but it is not very difficult, because Yang Ximin is too arrogant, almost all actions are carried out openly, and intelligence collection is only verified from a microscopic level, but this just gives the intelligence department time and a chance to learn."

"After Yang Ximin is pacified, the main work of the intelligence department should be placed in Shanghai and Wuhan, and intelligence commanders should be selected from the Huangpu Military Academy and various universities in Guangzhou, and sent to Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan for short-term training; Try to get them into the upper echelons of the warlords everywhere and develop intelligence agents within the enemy, so that in 1-2 years we will be able to form a considerable intelligence network in these three places, which will be of great help to the Northern Expedition in the future. ”

"Cultural Revolution, I have read all the articles you published in "Friends of Soldiers" and "Revolutionary Youth". Zhuang Jihua was surprised why Chiang Kai-shek suddenly changed the topic, and he couldn't figure out what Chiang Kai-shek wanted to say.

"What do you think of the struggle within the revolutionary camp?" Chiang Kai-shek said slowly, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly casual.

The sweat on Zhuang Jihua's back ran down his spine, but he still insisted: "The students believe that the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is the foundation of the national revolution and cannot be destroyed, and that the contradictions within the revolutionary camp should be resolved politically, not by force." ”

"I didn't mean [***]."

Zhuang Jihua was shocked, it was not [***] someone else, he was wrong, who could it be? Zhuang Jihua quickly recalled the documents he had read in his mind, Yang Ximin, wouldn't it be him, if it was him, Chiang Kai-shek would never be so spitting, it should be in the Kuomintang, Hu Hanmin? Regardless of whether the army is in charge of politics, there is no big conflict with Chiang Kai-shek; So who? Suddenly, Zhuang Jihua thought of Hu Hanmin's appointment of Chiang Kai-shek as the aftermath supervisor of Chaomei Eight Counties in his capacity as acting generalissimo, and Chiang Kai-shek has now announced his assumption of office, is it Xu Chongzhi? However, the relationship between Xu Chongzhi and Chiang Kai-shek is that of iron buddies, although politicians turn their faces faster than turning books, but there is no sign that Chiang Kai-shek and Xu Chongzhi have such a big difference before.

"What the principal said was... Commander? Zhuang Jihua asked tentatively in a low voice, and was a little relieved to see that Chiang Kai-shek did not deny it.

"Commander Xu has been with the prime minister for a long time and has a deep relationship with the principal; Moreover, the Guangdong army is strong, and there is no suitable borrowing... I am afraid that the reason cannot be dealt with lightly. Zhuang Jihua pondered.

"It's not me who wants to deal with him, it's that he wants to deal with me." Chiang Kai-shek said and took out a letter from the drawer and put it on the table: "Look at it." ”

Zhuang Jihua took it and took out the letterhead, and saw that it read: "Brother Kai-shek: Brother Kai-shek won Chaomei Eight Counties, and my brother is very happy." Since the Eastern Crusade, the soldiers of our Guangdong army have fought bravely, expelled Chen Rebellious, and restored the Dongjiang River. In the past, I said that I and my brother had nothing to say, no matter how big or small, and did not hide from each other, now my brother wants to show his ambitions, my brother should help, Chaomei eight counties, my brother takes it by himself, and my brother does not dare to hear it,...。 ”

The words are very polite, but they contain indignation and sarcasm, and between the lines it is implied that Chiang Kai-shek's plot to seize Chaomei Eight Counties is a betrayal of Xu Chongzhi. However, in Zhuang Jihua's view, this letter is at most to vent his grievances, and it has not yet reached the level of a rupture, but Chiang Kai-shek is so nervous that he is puzzled.

"It seems that Commander Xu's letter shows that he is dissatisfied with the appointment of the principal as the aftermath supervisor of Chaomei Eight Counties, but it is not to the extent that he wants to deal with the principal." Zhuang Jihua said.

"Cultural Revolution, you don't know Commander Xu, if my eldest brother wants to deal with someone, he must have arranged everything before he started. I can't take risks, I have to be prepared beforehand. Chiang Kai-shek sat up straight and calmly explained to Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua thought for a moment before saying: "Principal, the rebellion of the Yunnan Gui Army is imminent, Commander Xu is more or less a person in the revolutionary camp, there is no obvious reverse, and the conditions for starting it are not ripe now, so he can't do it now, but he can make arrangements in advance." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, agreeing with Zhuang Jihua's words.

"The student suggests that it is best for the principal to make it clear to Commander Xu in person that this Chaomei Eight County was appointed by Hu Hanmin, not what you wanted; In fact, in the eyes of the students, this Chaomei Eight County is also a piece of chicken ribs, and the principal's goal cannot be limited to this. Whatever Commander Xu wants, the principal can agree. ”

"What would he want?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with a frown.

"Of course it's taxes," Zhuang Jihua didn't think about it, and then said in a mocking tone: "Maybe there are county-level officials, and the principal can agree." Commander Xu's thinking is still stuck on the territory and the army, and the territory is bigger and the army is raised, but everyone knows that Guangdong has changed now, and the students think that after the pacification of Yang Ximin, the political situation in Guangdong may have to change. ”

"How do you think this will change?" Chiang Kai-shek just heard Zhuang Jihua say that he would give up the taxes and magistrates to Xu Chongzhi, and his heart ached, and he was also in danger of asking for these taxes, and the funds for the Whampoa school army were actually very difficult, and the battle of Cotton Lake was such a big victory, and Liao Zhongkai's reward on behalf of the generalissimo was actually only 1,000 oceans per regiment, and the average soldier did not even have a piece of ocean.

From then on, Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to have a piece of territory, at least the troops would not be so embarrassed. So when he returned to Guangzhou this time, he sought the aftermath supervision of Chaomei Eight Counties through Liao Zhongkai, of course he knew that Xu Chongzhi wanted these eight counties very much, but he also wanted it, only to ignore this Brother Xu. didn't expect Xu Chongzhi to write him such a letter, which made him a little worried, if Xu Chongzhi and Hu Hanmin joined forces to deal with him and Liao Zhongkai, I am afraid he would have to return to Fenghua again.

"The prime minister has died, who will succeed the prime minister? and after pacifying Yang Ximin, he went south again; Guangdong is basically stable, I think the national political axe should be established, after the establishment of the national political axe, I am afraid that the taxes of various places will be recovered by the political axe, and the taxes of Chaomei eight counties will also have to be returned to the political axe, so the principal does not have to fight with him, he will give it to him, on the one hand, he can let him relax, on the other hand, let outsiders know that you and Commander Xu are still of the same mind. ”

Zhuang Jihua's later words completely unraveled the hesitation in Chiang Kai-shek's heart. Chiang Kai-shek's heart suddenly became clear that the political situation in Guangzhou was definitely going to change, whether it was the establishment of the national political axe or the reorganization of the Generalissimo's Palace, he could take a step forward, and how big this step was, I am afraid that Xu Chongzhi would have to speak for him at that time.

"Okay, just do as you say, tomorrow we will go to Shantou and meet Commander Xu." After untangling this knot, Chiang Kai-shek was in a much better mood: "Cultural Revolution, who do you say will be the director of the intelligence department?" ”

"This, it is best to be decided by the principal, and the students dare not say much."

"Nothing, you say." Chiang Kai-shek is now very relaxed, and neither of them seems to have taken the Dian Gui army seriously.

"Headmaster, students shouldn't talk about this. The position of Director of Intelligence is small, but it is very important, and it requires not only superhuman intelligence, but also strong loyalty. Zhuang Jihua didn't have no candidates in his heart, Director Zhou was the best candidate, but he didn't dare to mention it.

"Hehe, you're right, but I have a candidate." Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile.

"That's good, nothing else, I'll go back to sleep, I haven't closed my eyes for almost two days to write these documents." Zhuang Jihua yawned very presumptuously.

"Don't you want to know who that person is?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with interest.

"It's not me anyway, let that person bother him."

"No, I'm going to be you."

Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek inexplicably, and said no, I did it, what will Dai Li do in the future.
