"Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we must inquire clearly, the large-scale reorganization of the army must be adjusted, send everyone out, and closely observe and pay attention to the movement of the Han army in China. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

So, the foreigners sent out all their eyes and ears, and even the missionaries became their eyes, keeping a close eye on the movement of the army.

Wang Sirui's reorganization plan really scared everyone, if Wang Sirui just announced how many divisions were reorganized, then the foreigners would still think that this might be him playing tricks and trying to intimidate them.

However, Wang Sirui directly announced the total number of the army, so calculated, the number of each division is almost 18,000, this is the current normal establishment of the Han army, this is amazing, no one knows, why did the Han army suddenly burst out of so many troops?

Tianjin.

After a day and a night, almost 20 hours on a steamer, Cai Songpo and the others finally arrived in Tianjin.

The most convenient way to get from Shanghai to Beijing is to take a boat to Tianjin, and then take a train to Beijing. In this way, it will be about half a month faster than all by land, and it will only take a day and a half to reach the capital.

After the withdrawal of the coalition forces, Wang Sirui raised a lot of money to restore the railway, and it took two years to successfully connect the remaining sections of Tianjin to the capital, and the railway was officially opened to traffic a year ago.

It is said that the Yellow River Bridge will be completed next year, and the railway from Beijing to Hankou will be opened the year after next year at the latest.

At that time, it will be much more convenient to travel from south to north, and about four-fifths of the time can be saved.

Cai Songpo and the others just rushed early in the morning, and when they came to Tianjin Station, there were not too many people, and a few people quickly walked to the ticket window.

However, the people in front of them didn't seem to have bought tickets, and the three of them just didn't give up, so they gave it a try.

"Hello, three tickets to the capital today." According to the ticket price announced at the window, Cai Songpo took out the silver of three tickets from his pocket and handed them directly through the small window.

"I'm sorry, the train will not run in the near future, if you need to go to the capital urgently, you can take a carriage over." A woman in the ticket window spoke in a kind tone, holding a pen in her hand and writing something on a piece of paper.

Through the window, Cai Songpo saw the content on the paper, due to scheduling problems in the near future, the train will not operate externally, and the specific resumption of operation time is tentative.

"Why? There has been no rain recently, and there has been no turmoil, so why doesn't a good railway run? Cai Songpo was a little anxious, and he was still quite excited about taking the domestic railway.

After all, this is the first railway in China, and the price is not expensive, a ticket from Tianjin to the capital only costs one tael of silver, that is, to take care of a carriage, to the capital also has to be at least five taels of silver. If they take the train, the three of them will save two taels of silver.

It is precisely because the price is not high that since the opening of this railway, almost every train has been overcrowded.

"It's because of scheduling problems, we only sell tickets, and it says that we can't sell tickets, so naturally we can't sell tickets." The conductor said.

"Hello, the three of us have just returned from studying abroad, and we want to go to the capital as soon as possible to apply for the Army Staff College. Zhang Xiaozhun gently pulled Cai Songpo, and immediately stepped forward to explain.

"I feel the smell of soldiers on the three of you, if you want to buy a ticket, you can also go out and turn left, about a mile, go to the Tianjin Reserve Station there to open a certificate, and then take the certificate and come here to get the ticket." The conductor said.

"Okay, thank you!" Zhang Xiaozhun thanked the conductor and pulled the other two out of here.

And the people behind also heard their conversation, one by one they could only leave helplessly, the railway is the government, what can you do if people say that it is not operated?

Besides, the railway has not survived since it was opened, and even if the line is overhauled, it is only stopped for half a day a day for sectional maintenance during the week.

This direct and indefinite suspension must have encountered something big.

"I smell a smell of war." Jiang Fangzhen sighed and said.

"War?" Cai Songpo was slightly stunned, and then thought about it carefully, as if this was indeed the case.

Although the railway is a state, the purpose of building the railway is not only for the convenience of the people, the railway also has more important military and strategic significance, and the huge transportation capacity of the railway can send troops to the battlefield hundreds of miles away overnight, and it is only suitable to use it to dispatch troops.

Cai Songpo has privately criticized some of Wang Sirui's practices more than once, such as the deformed industrial deployment, the domestic industry is almost all built around the military industry, and the civilian industry is almost zero.

Another example is Wang Sirui's benevolent policy, this is not to say that it is bad, but Wang Sirui's steps are a little too big, with the current situation in China, it is not enough to support his benevolent government, and the best way should be gradual and take ten years to complete.

The people also need to adapt, and they can't be treated too well all at once, which will make some people swell.

For the government, this will also increase the financial burden on the government, and the government has no money in the first place, so the pocket is even more empty.

Although Cai Songpo criticized Wang Sirui in many aspects, Cai Songpo not only did not criticize the railway, but applauded loudly, and even believed that more railways should be built.

Because railways are so important for a modern country, both commercial and military.

While talking, several people came to the Tianjin Reserve Station a mile away.

In fact, this is just an ordinary store, with a sign of the reserve station, which is mainly responsible for explaining the nature of the army and the reserve for the people, including the way of promotion, the duration of service, military salary and benefits, etc.

To put it bluntly, in fact, this is a place for army propaganda, and when necessary, it also undertakes the task of recruiting soldiers.

A few people entered the interior of the reserve station, the room was not big, only about 100 square meters, it was empty, except for a few soldiers, there were only some dilapidated tables and chairs left.

"Hello, are you here to learn about military policy?" The officer behind a table saw Cai Songpo and the others, stood up and asked with a smile.

"Hello, we are students returning from Japan, and we want to go to the capital to apply for the Staff College, but now we can't buy tickets, they said let's come here to issue a certificate." Cai Songpo said what they meant.

"Oh? A high-achieving student who stays abroad? Which school in Japan do you from? The officer asked with a smile.

After studying abroad for several years, after being trained by the General Staff College, these students are often promoted much faster than the officers directly trained in the country.

In fact, this is normal, most of the local military academy cadets are sent by the army, and they still have to learn to read and write, which naturally has a lot of disadvantages compared to those students who study abroad.

However, local cadets also have the advantages of native cadets, for example, after returning to the army from military school, they can be directly appointed as staff officers or platoon commanders.

And those who came back from overseas are trainee staff officers and trainee platoon commanders, and these two are very different.

"We are from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and we have not graduated yet, and we graduated early and returned to China to join the army." Cai Songpo said, and handed his documents to the other party.

In fact, it is a student ID, they have not completed the course, naturally it is impossible to have a certificate of completion, and this certificate is also their only proof of identity.

The officer summoned a soldier, handed the soldier the men's papers, and then inquired about their families.

When the question was almost over, Jiang Fangzhen and the others were still confused, so they naturally had to ask clearly.

"I wonder why this railway is suddenly out of service?"

"Hey, that's what you're talking about? You guess you just got off the boat and haven't understood it yet, right? In the near future, our Han army will carry out a comprehensive reorganization, and some of the troops that were previously hidden have also been taken out, and a total of more than 1.5 million people participated in the reorganization this time, and they have been reorganized into five group armies, 18 armies, and 90 divisions.

Two of our reserve divisions in Tianjin have been awarded the 71st Division and the 72nd Division, and they have been reorganized into the Second Group Army, and these two divisions will be transferred to the defense area of the Second Group Army.

In addition, there are still many troops from the south to the north, and there are still many troops to be transferred to other areas, and railway resources are already tight, so they can only make every effort to ensure the deployment of the army. However, after these two divisions are gone, the railway should resume operation, and it will be suspended when the troops come. No way, it's all for national defense. ”

"What? More than 1.5 million people? Don't we only have more than 600,000 troops? Zhang Xiaozhun was stunned, this news was like a bolt from the blue, why did the Han army suddenly more than double?

"Hehe, more than 600,000 people are just the main regular army, and it is a unit with a number, and the reserve force did not have a number before, and it is only the regular army after being awarded the number, and they enjoy the benefits of the regular army. Let's talk about the First Army, before the reorganization, they only had six divisions under their command, but there were ten reserve divisions that had formed combat effectiveness, and these were all veterans who had been trained for more than a year. ”

"This ......" Jiang Fangzhen's turn was shocked, he knew the reserves, but he didn't expect that there would be so many reserves, but he still had some doubts about the combat effectiveness of those reserves, after all, they were reserves, and they were not as good as the regular army in terms of training and equipment.

Soon, the soldier returned to his desk with the trio's ID cards, and three pieces of paper with the official seal of the Tianjin Reserve Station and their personal information.

"Okay, take these three slips to the ticket window to get the ticket, and then follow the arrangement of the station staff to pedal the train."
