Chapter 125: Huangpu Military Academy
"Coincidence, this is definitely a coincidence, it has nothing to do with me, this is not deliberately arranged by me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even if someone arranges it, it's the author's intention, not me! However, this is too much of a coincidence, the establishment of a military academy next to the Huangpu River, isn't that the Huangpu Military Academy? Isn't it the difference with the famous 'Whampoa Military Academy' in history that there is only one radical? People are next to the word soil, and I am three points of water. What's more, both of these are the words of the five elements. Chen Dingtian really complained about the author's bad taste.
However, Chen Dingtian still nodded and said, "Okay, so be it, let's establish the so-called Huangpu Military Academy next to the Huangpu River." ”
Soon, in this so-called concession autonomous Ministry of Industry Bureau ordered the establishment of a military academy next to the Huangpu River, the name of which is the Huangpu Military Academy, but this is the Huangpu of the Huangpu River, not the Huangpu of Huangpu Island.
"Since I became a copyist, then I will copy it directly." Chen Dingtian thought.
Chen Dingtian directly chose two couplets outside the door of this Huangpu Military Academy.
"Please go elsewhere for promotion and wealth, don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Horizontal batch, patriots are coming! ”
Chen Dingtian copied it directly to the end, and even copied the couplets at the door of people's homes. However, only in the horizontal criticism was the same two words were changed, from revolutionary to patriotic.
However, since a military academy is to be established, the appointment of this relevant military academy must be necessary. This military academy appoints an official position, first of all, Chen Dingtian must have an idea.
"In this military school, I will be in charge of serving as the principal, but I will not interfere too much in daily affairs. In addition, there is a Director of Education who is responsible for day-to-day affairs. Chen Dingtian said.
This principal or something, in fact, has to be in person. Not to mention these years, even before the Chinese head of state takes over the class, don't you want to be the principal of that party school? This is the first principal to be the boss, this is already an experience that many Chinese people have when they are handed over.
After becoming the principal, the students who came out of these military schools in the future are all their own students, and they still have to give their own principal.
This position of principal cannot be easily asided, and it is most suitable to hold it in person. If it is left behind, it may be problematic.
"Then who is in charge of this education director? If it is not a person, it is also more dangerous. Fu Shanxiang asked.
Although Fu Shanxiang did not say what the "danger" was, the potential meaning was very obvious, that is, if the education chief in charge of practical work took the opportunity to win over the hearts of the military, I am afraid that the consequences would be equally unimaginable. Who to choose in this way is also a very huge problem, and only by choosing the right person is the fundamental.
"Who's the one to choose? Who of us here can take on this responsibility? What's more, who to choose, I am the most assured? Chen Dingtian also muttered in his heart.
Because it seems that there is really no one under him who can serve as the head of education, not to mention the head of education, first of all, he must have sufficient cultural quality, not that he can find a random Qiu Ba to be the director. And it is also necessary to understand military affairs, understand the latest military knowledge, even if you don't understand everything, you must understand the general situation, and the future military trend.
And this person still wants to reassure Chen Dingtian and them, and at the same time, it seems that there is no one who meets these conditions! In fact, if you want to talk about people who can be trusted, this is also a trouble. Because it's hard to say whether you can trust it or not! After the Duke of Zhou was afraid of rumors, when Wang Mang was humble to the corporal, before and after taking power, this change is difficult to say.
Sometimes I don't have ambitions, but once I take power, my ambitions are even greater, and there are a lot of things that are difficult to fill. Originally, I didn't have much ambition, but once I had a sufficient foundation, it was normal to get more. Maybe he didn't have ambitions, but once many cadets became his students, it was uncertain whether he would have further ambitions.
So it seems that no one is safe! But even if the issue of trust is excluded, even the issue of competence is an important issue. No one can do the duties of this position, and ability alone is a dilemma. It is impossible to choose one at random, this is the first actual person in charge of the Huangpu Military Academy, and if his level is too poor, it is not suitable. The impact on the first batch of officers is also huge, if his management ability is too poor, then the first batch of regular officer seeds in the future will also be even worse. The first batch of officers often represents the starting point of the development of an army, and who doesn't want a higher starting point? Don't lose at the starting line, this is also a normal idea.
Fu Shanxiang continued: "I have a good candidate! ”
"Who?" Chen Dingtian asked.
"Bismarck, don't let Bismarck be the head of education, I think he can do it both in terms of ability and trust!" Fu Shanxiang said.
"Bismarck? That Prussian? Isn't he a foreigner? How can we trust him, besides, he is still a wedge planted by the Prussians with us? Are you mistaken? Zhou Xiuying said.
"Oh, yes! It is precisely because he is a foreigner that we can trust him very much! Chen Dingtian immediately smiled and said.
This Bismarck, as expected, is a very suitable candidate. Not only does he know how to manage, but he is also familiar with the future military trend, and even he will be an iron-blooded prime minister in the future, his iron will is very strong, and he is stronger than many soldiers. If he goes to serve as the first actual person in charge of this military academy, then not only will this not make the soldiers weaker, but perhaps more powerful than ordinary people in terms of iron and blood, and it will be easier to make the first batch of officers more "iron and bloody".
As for his status as a foreigner, it is even more wonderful. Even if he became the chief of education and the first actual head of the military academy, his natural foreign appearance, or even his natural foreigner status, would not be enough for him to gain much influence in the army. Bismarck, a foreigner, could not lead the Chinese army to fight the country, so even if he had more influence among the army officers, it would at least be influential, and it would be impossible to grasp the real military power and influence. Bismarck may be influenced by his personal teacher-student feelings, but on specific political issues, Bismarck cannot command the Chinese army to seize power.
So isn't Bismarck a person who is very suitable for both abilities and identities? Although he is not the most trustworthy, he is the most reassuring, because his foreigner identity cannot take the Chinese army away, and his natural foreigner identity makes it impossible for him to bring the Chinese army into China. Maybe the Han people can tolerate the Manchurians who are also black-haired and black-eyed to sit on the country, but a big-nosed foreigner will never be able to sit on the country, and their natural racial barrier is many times larger than that of the Manchus and the Han. To say that if the Manchus and the Han are very close in terms of race, there is not even any difference. But if a foreigner with a big nose is allowed to come, it is impossible for the Chinese to accept it.
"This Bismarck is really the most suitable person! Let him go, that's not bad. It's also a person who makes the best use of his talents. Chen Dingtian said.
Bismarck was soon appointed by Chen Dingtian as the chief of education of the military academy, and he was really in charge of the specific affairs of the military academy, while Chen Dingtian was only responsible for big things, and he would not be approached for daily affairs. Bismarck obtained the greatest authorization from Chen Dingtian, not because of Chen Dingtian's trust in his character, but because of his trust in his foreigner status, it is impossible for him to take the Chinese army away, let alone be qualified to sit firmly in China. Because whether it is a Mongol or a Manchu, it is only an ethnic gap. But this Westerner and the Easterner, that is the difference in race. The Chinese will not allow a big-nosed foreigner to be the head of China, just as the Westerners will not allow an Easterner to be the king of the West.
"Husband, what subjects do you plan to set up in this military school?" Zhou Xiuying asked.
Chen Dingtian soon had it, and said: "First of all, set up an infantry section to be responsible for training infantry, and this is the main thing. In addition, the cavalry section, the artillery section, and the logistics section were set up. Each subject has several classes, which can also be subdivided as needed. The Infantry Section can be subordinate to the Conventional Infantry Section, the Mountain Infantry Section, and so on. The cavalry section can set up a modern cavalry section, as well as a classical cavalry section. ”
"The same is true of the Artillery Section and the Logistics Section, which can train some specialized arms and specialized personnel according to their needs. In the future, the armed forces will be an organization with a very clear division of labor, and not only will there be individual arms of the armed forces, but there will even be many multi-arms joint operations and coordinated operations, and even joint land and sea operations. Therefore, in my opinion, it is possible to set up a public subject, that is, the Joint Operations Section, which is responsible for allowing the various branches of the armed forces to conduct joint operations and hold meetings with soldiers of different specialties, and then they can obtain the deduction and experience of joint operations, which will help them to have a tacit understanding of the command of the various branches of the armed forces in the future. And it can avoid them from being in the same class for a long time, which is easy to form a blind result, which is helpful for opening the mind. ”
This related subject and textbook, especially the textbook, Chen Dingtian is the most lacking. The number of foreign military materials and textbooks he translated in those years was simply calculated in tens of millions of words. Although he may not be able to memorize all the information, it is still possible to remember each one.
Pick something out of it so that you can get training materials in these armies. Chen Dingtian took the initiative to write textbooks, and he could get more things. Anyway, since Chen Dingtian has become a copyist, it is better to copy it to the end, and directly copy out a lot of textbooks for later generations, whether it is useful or not, then get it out first. Anyway, it will be used one day, and if this thing is entertained, then China's military theory will basically not lag behind the world for at least 100 years.
Of course, this is also a last resort, Chen Dingtian believes that of course it is better to let those junior soldiers study and propose it themselves, if it is really a last resort, until the day when it is already backward, it is not suitable to take the initiative to open the archive of Chen Dingtian's future military theories.
This is also a preparation for what happens, and it can be regarded as a treasure trove of sufficient military theoretical knowledge for China in the future, so that it is better than not leaving anything at all.
"Okay, go and inform Bismarck, let him pick up the matter of the chief of education of this military academy first, and build this military school as soon as possible, as for the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Department, then he will also be temporarily responsible for it, and then we will talk about this after the corresponding replacement has been chosen!" Chen Dingtian said.
Anyway, this Bismarck is also a good talent, this old thing is the future German iron-blooded chancellor, more famous in Germany than any German emperor, and is at the top of the list of the greatest people in Germany. Let him be responsible, not only can he use his ability, but even his status as a foreigner, it is doomed that he will not be able to obtain too deep a position, so it is a matter of killing one stone.
Even Prussia has not yet been able to become Germany, Prussia is too far away from China to have much influence in the Far East, or even not at all! Therefore, Prussia could not intervene in China, and this Bismarck was a widow sleeping - there was no one above, so he could not get Prussia's support to interfere in China's affairs, and could only be used, and could not gain much real power. As long as Chen Dingtian and they don't trust Bismarck, he can be relieved of his position with that sentence, and there will be no difficulty.
The structure of the Foreign Affairs Office has been erected, and it is time to "cross the river and tear down the bridge". However, there is no suitable candidate at present, and you can consider choosing another person to be in charge of the foreign affairs department in the future, because the foreign affairs office of the Chinese has been controlled by a foreigner for a long time, which is certainly unreasonable, especially foreign affairs is one of the most important affairs of a country and region, and it is very unreasonable to let a foreigner control it for a long time. Even if it is not sold, it is still suspected of being a melon field and a plum.
This Bismarck in China can only be used by Chen Dingtian, and there is no possibility of holding too much real power, which is also the weakness of foreigners, in the final analysis, he is also a "guest secretary", although his status may be more respectful, but without the support of his master, those others will not obey him. A guest secretary can never grasp the real power, at most he is a consultant, and his power only comes from Chen Dingtian. In addition, Prussia behind him could not support him, so naturally he could only be called by Chen Dingtian, but he could not grasp the real power with his magnetic energy.
"Husband, our guards have found some people, who seem to be a little suspicious, and they are asking about you everywhere and have been arrested by us. A woman at the head of the group wants to see you, and she says that there are some books you write that she doesn't understand, so she wants to come and ask you, do you want to meet her? Guan Qin said.
"Oh? It turned out that a book lover came? Of course I'm going to meet it, is it a Harry Potter book fan? That's really going to meet, people have come from thousands of miles of overseas across the ocean, what a sincere book lover, it's not okay if you don't see it! Chen Dingtian said.
Guan Qin wanted to explain something, but Chen Dingtian left quickly, obviously going to meet the "book lovers". Guan Qin saw that Chen Dingtian was walking too fast, so he could only hurry up and follow.
