In addition to a few responsible persons of government departments, the only people present who were not nervous were Li Han, Gao Jian, and Shi Shi'an. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shi Shi'an looked at the more than a dozen officers at or above the regimental level present, and his heart was full of sighs, the old army commander He Zhuguo felt that he had wronged himself by letting him serve under Li Han, and he deliberately found himself to do ideological work.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, he has become a division commander, and Li Han is on the same level as the old army commander, and after the completion of this expansion, the strength of the security army will also be a lot more than that of the 57th army. If he is still in the 57th Army, he is probably still standing still.

Now there are only three people in the security army who are expected to be division commanders, that is, Wang Dazhu, Lin Youzhi and Zhang Tie, but Shi Shi'an feels that with Li Han's preference for Wang Dazhu, the probability of Wang Dazhu becoming the commander of the security division is more than ninety percent.

However, Shi Shi'an, the candidate for the brigade commander, is not completely certain, Hu Zhi, Huang Shan, Yan Chihuo, Li Yong, Jin Long, and Deng Zishan are all likely to become brigade commanders, and he also wants to see which three people can become brigade commanders.

Li Han didn't let everyone wait long, and after Gao Jian finished speaking, he let everyone digest it for a few minutes, and then said:

"The chief of staff has just made it very clear that the reorganization of the troops will be made very clear, and in two months, I think the weapons purchased by the German businessmen will almost arrive, and I hope that everyone will make good use of this time and adjust the troops according to the reorganization plan."

Speaking of this, Li Han paused, glanced around at everyone, and continued: "Now I will take the oath of appointment.

Wang Dazhu was the commander of the 1st Security Division, Yan Chihuo and Hu Zhi were the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Security Brigades, respectively, and Huang Shan was the commander of the 146th Brigade.

Li Yong, the former commander of the 18th Regiment, was reappointed as the head of the special service regiment, Zhao Gang, the head of the special service regiment, was appointed as the commander of the 1st Security Brigade and 1st Regiment, and the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 19th Regiment was transferred to the commander of the 2nd and 3rd Security Brigades. ”

"The development of the army is inseparable from the support of the government, and after this reorganization, not counting the Northeast Anti-Japanese Decisive Corps, the combat strength of the security army will reach more than 50,000 people.

Not counting anything else, so many people's eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping is a big expense, and I want to hear what the provincial government has to say. Li Han asked.

Although the provincial government has some money to spare, it also costs money for them to govern Chahar well, and they can't invest all their money in the army.

"As for the financial question, let's ask Director Yan to talk about it, he has the money bag in our Chahar Province." Wang Wei smiled.

"Hehehe, Chairman Wang said with a smile, let me tell you about the situation in Chahar, after this period of development, now the province's monthly financial revenue is about three million silver dollars, and it can be doubled in the busy agricultural month.

However, the monthly construction and investment in various localities will account for half of the total income, and the salaries of the provincial government staff will be 500,000 silver dollars each, so there will only be 1 million silver dollars left.

According to the calculation of 55,000 people in the security army, each soldier's monthly military salary is five silver dollars, which is more than 270,000 silver dollars in total, plus the military salary of the officers is even higher, and the military salary of the security army is about 300,000 silver dollars a month.

In addition, the arsenal also needs nearly 200,000 silver dollars a month, so we can only have a balance of 500,000 silver dollars a month at most as working capital, and after the establishment of the reserve column in the future, we will also need a lot of funds to maintain it. Yan Zhonghua said slowly.

"I think you have also heard what Yan Lao said, the expansion of the security army is already the limit of the current level, and the expansion will affect the development of Chahar.

So unless it is time to destroy the country and extinct the species, the security army will not be adding new establishments, and the security army is now on the same scale, and you are all officers with heavy weapons now.

The next thing you have to do is to train your troops well, you can do more live-fire training, and you can also become familiar with the coordination and cooperation of infantry and artillery, don't feel sorry for the bullets and shells, just go directly to the military headquarters and ask the chief of staff for it.

I don't have very good requirements for you, when you really fight with the little devils, you can just beat the Eighth Division of Rehe down. Li Han continued Yan Zhonghua's words.

"Yes! Throne! All the officers stood up at the same time, looked at Li Han and responded.

"Also, when the equipment from the arsenal arrives, all of our rifles will be replaced with Mauser rifles. There were already five regiments armed with Mauser rifles, so there were seven more infantry regiments and three artillery regiments to be reequipped.

After the equipment arrives, the arsenal will be able to produce 2,000 rifles per month, and we will reequip one regiment every month with regiments as a unit, and by March next year, the entire army will be able to complete the rearmament. Li Han continued.

"Great, I really didn't expect that in less than a year, we now not only have machine guns, artillery, but even anti-aircraft guns to deal with devil planes.

Now even the rifle has to be replaced with a more advanced Mauser rifle, if we can't win the Eighth Division in this way, you don't need to say that I don't have the face to do this division commander. ”

Shi Shi'an said excitedly, what Li Han did did really impressed him, and warlords like Li Han who occupied one side were everywhere in the Republic of China.

But there are basically no people who really want to spend all their money on government development and military equipment, just like Li Han.

Of course, there are not a few warlords who have expanded their armies, but not only do they not expand their troops to deal with the Japanese, but they use them as a capital to protect their own territory. What's more, after the start of the War of Resistance Against Japan, they still did not want their descendants to suffer casualties and passively avoided the war.

At the same time, Shi Shi'an was also thinking that if the young marshal was like Li Han and thinking about dealing with it, maybe the three northeastern provinces were still the territory of their Northeast Army.

The other officers also chimed in, Shi Shi'an's words resonated with them, and everyone here had a lot of battles with the devils. In the past, if you can't win the battle, you can still say that the weapons and equipment are not good, and the soldiers are not as high-quality as the Japanese soldiers.

However, now that all the equipment and military seats have been completed, and even the equipment of the Japanese army is better, and the training in peacetime can also be mainly based on live-ammunition training, if the quality of the soldiers cannot be improved, it is that they are incompetent.

"Junza, I heard that the Central Army is undergoing a large-scale reorganization of the troops, and the troops after the reorganization will be called the German Armament Army. But at this rate, it seems that we are now going to become a German army one step ahead of them! ”

Wang Dazhu also interjected.

Equipping the armed with a unified rifle is what the officers of any army want to see, and the advantages of changing the outfit are obvious, and the performance of the Mauser rifle in 1924 is better than that of the Liaozao 98, and after the whole army unifies the rifle, the logistical supply will be much easier.

For the arsenal, the production of only one caliber of bullets can not only reduce the waste of raw materials, but also increase the speed of production.

"Also, I ignored this stubble, as long as we know about it. The German mechanic is the heart and soul of the chairman, and he is also his pride, and if he is compared to one of our local troops, the chairman will probably be unhappy.

Besides, in the eyes of the central government, Chahar was still just a poor border province, and if they found out that we had all been reequipped with German weapons, it would be difficult to guarantee that the people in Nanking would not suspect that we were colluding with the Japanese. ”

Wang Dazhu's words reminded Li Han of the German armament division of the Central Army, all of which were the main force of the national army at that time and had extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, as the main force of the national army, all the German armourers participated in the entire Songhu Battle, and from October 5 to 9, 1937 alone, the German armourers lost more than half of them in five days.

However, as the backbone of the Battle of Songhu, the German mechanic simply thwarted Japan's delusion of destroying China in three months with his flesh and blood.

After the loss of Shanghai, the German armourers retreated to Nanjing to rest, and then participated in the defense of Nanjing, the fierce battle, the heavy losses, resulting in the defense of Nanjing, after which there was no German armourer.

Li Han didn't want to attract the attention of the central government until his troops had completed their re-equipping, but it was only June 34, and his troops would be able to complete the re-outfit by June 35. It is completely possible to sell the rifle to the Central Army.

Although in 1934 the Nanjing Government was ready to reorganize the German Armament Division, it was not until the second half of 1935 that the actual reorganization of the German Armament Division began, and by the time of the Battle of Songhu, there were only seven divisions plus a Central Teaching Corps equivalent to an army.

The rifles equipped by these German mechanics are also the German-made 1924 standard Mauser series rifles, which are rifles that Li Han bought from Weimar, and the reason why the German mechanics have been so slow to reorganize is that the weapons have not been in place is also a major reason.

The 88th Division was already a relatively well-equipped division of the Central Army's German Armament Division, but they were only equipped with rifles retired by the Reed Army, and even so, the 88th Division only had 4,000 such rifles.

This means that the output of the Chahar Arsenal in two months can be a matter for the German armourer's rifles. Of course, a German mechanic does not mean that the reorganization is completed if a few thousand rifles are prepared, but this can at least double the speed of the reorganization of the German mechanic.

If he was willing to pay for it with Nanjing, Li Han would not mind providing them with rifles, after all, the more German mechanics, the greater the losses of the Japanese in Shanghai.

It was through the Battle of Songhu that the Japanese realized that it was not as easy as they imagined to destroy China.

And Li Han also hoped that after the Battle of Nanjing, there would still be a German armor division in the national army, after all, at that time, the all-out war of resistance had just begun, and such an elite unit as the German armor division should not withdraw from the stage of the anti-Japanese battlefield so quickly.
