(There is only one shift today, there will be a meeting later, and tomorrow will try to change as early as possible.) ）

Ye Kai's sedan chair stopped outside the gate of the Military Advisory Office, and he had to come down in person, and after that, he would have to undergo a security check in the communication room at the door, even as the de facto highest commander of the Military Advisory Office, he was no exception.

In fact, in the regulations on the management of the Military Advisory Office that he personally drafted, it has been decreed that all people who enter the Military Advisory Office, even if they are as small as logistics personnel in charge of sanitation and catering, must be inspected, and this seemingly harsh requirement is only the most basic in this regulation.

Standing at the door of the Military Advisory Office, Ye Kai did not enter immediately, his eyes swept slightly around the Military Advisory Office a few times, the nearby scene was in full view, and the gate was full of vigilant inspectors, and on the streets on both sides, there were several patrolling military police from time to time, and the cross network they formed was like an iron bucket to wrap the entire area where the Military Advisory Office was located.

Seeing this, Ye Kaicai nodded with satisfaction, as the mastermind behind all this very arrangement, he knew very well that there was no trivial matter in the military aircraft, let alone the highest staff organ of the empire in the future, there was no steel-like discipline, a copper-wall-like defense level, and without waiting for that pair of black hands to attack from the outside, the entire department would not attack itself from the inside, and throughout the history of the late Qing Dynasty, are there still few such examples?

Therefore, because of this, in his conception, whether it is the current military advisory office or the future military capital office, it is either a fortress or a fortress.

In addition, it is not enough to have high-level secrecy measures, the Military Advisory Office wants to become an invincible giant in the future, and having a body of steel is only one aspect, he also needs a brain that is wiser than others, and a central nervous system that is more sensitive to others

In the conference hall, the space is not wide, but it contains all the senior generals in the Military Advisory Office, sitting in the front is naturally Ye Kai, the military envoy, and on the deputy seat on the left hand side is Ha Hanzhang, the deputy military envoy and director of the General Affairs Department of the Military Advisory Office, in front of the two of them, sitting in turn, Feng Gengguang, director of the first combat department of the Military Advisory Office, Shu Qing'a, director of the second intelligence department, Tie Zhong, director of the third department of Jiaoxin, Jiang Baili, director of the fourth department of surveying, and Bao Ying, director of the fourth department of Shi Zhi, as for the position of the Navy Department and the special security bureau at the end, Also temporarily vacant.

Among these people, there is no shadow of Yu Lang, the managing minister of the Military Advisory Office, so this meeting is basically an internal meeting of the military officer department in Japan, and after the meeting, Ye Kai, as the executive director, only needs to convey the general spirit of this meeting to Yu Lang, of course, the specific content, Ye Kai will also slightly polish it.

Since it was a closed-door meeting, this meeting was of the highest level, the door was always closed, several rows of heavily armed guards were waiting outside the door, and the chandelier above the house made the room look slightly gray, however, almost all of the faces showed a high degree of tension and full attention, perhaps because this meeting was the first high-level meeting since the establishment of the Military Advisory Office.

"I guess you all went through a lot of twists and turns when you came in, right?"

His eyes swept over the few people under the seat, Ye Kai didn't go straight to the topic as soon as he came up, but teased with a smile on his face.

What Ye Kai meant was naturally clear to several of them, indeed, when they entered the military advisory office, they had to be inspected without discrimination regardless of their rank, which made many people have a slight remark at first, you know, most of them are holding positions above the battalion level in the army, however, under the iron discipline or Ye Kai's deliberate arrangement, they quickly understood that this discipline has no room for negotiation.

"I think it's good that this rule is set, it's the so-called upward and downward effect, our military advisory office has just been established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, if there are no leaders from our above, the people below will not be even more chaotic, so ah, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

Ha Hanzhang's speech made several people below look at each other, since the deputy military envoy said so, what else do they have to say, but as officers with a new education, it is easier for them to accept.

Ye Kai nodded, the reason why he did this was not for show, if it was loosened up from the beginning, then the Military Advisory Office would become a new bureaucratic department in the future, if that was the case, it would be contrary to Ye Kai's vision, so he had to appropriately sacrifice the rights of the officers, as for the future, after the Military Advisory Office is on the right track, this provision can be appropriately accommodating, after all, the chief is treated the same as ordinary personnel, not to mention the necessary majesty, and it is indeed not good-looking on the face.

"Well, in that case, our meeting has officially begun." Seeing that everyone had no opinions, the meeting officially began.

"Our military advisory office is directly under the ban, under the regent, no one has the right to dispatch, and only the regent and the ministers in charge have the right to see the seven departments under the military advisory office, including the General Affairs Department, the Intelligence Department, and the Operations Department, in addition to this, there is also a special security bureau" Ye Kai's words were basically read from the script, and the group of people below had no idea to express their meaning, and they knew the names and powers of these most basic institutions earlier.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the next thing, Han Zhang, you can talk about it." Ye Kai glanced at Ha Hanzhang on the side, according to the pre-arrangement of the two, he could start to deploy specific tasks.

Ha Hanzhang nodded, took Ye Kai's words, and continued: "The first thing after the establishment of the Military Advisory Office is to gather the soldiers. Ha Hanzhang said slowly: "In the past ten years, the Eight Banners Green Battalion and the Hunan and Huai armies have been dismantled one after another, but there are still many places that are privately retained, not to mention eating and taking military salaries, and also disturbing the people's livelihood."

Ha Hanzhang pointed out these problems in one breath, almost all of them are the most acute, and at the same time, they are also the most dense parts involving the interests of all parties.

"Therefore, the first thing the Military Advisory Office did was to record the numbers, personnel, and equipment of the various armies in various places, including the New Army, the Eight Banners, the Old Green Battalion, the Xiaoyong Battalion, the Infantry Yamen, and the Mongolian Banner Guards, and leave this matter to the Communications Department."

After Ha Hanzhang finished speaking, he looked at Tie Zhong, the director of the Jiaoxin Hall who was sitting in front of him, and said, "Is there anything else to ask in the Tiejun Hall?" ”

Tie Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "In the new army, there are a lot of personnel rations, and the War Department has a record, do you want to inform the other side." ”

"There's no need for that, Iron Army Hall." Regarding Tie Zhong's question, Ha Hanzhang directly retorted: "All these military advisory offices must be carefully inspected and re-recorded, and besides, the military personnel information in many places may not be recorded by the War Department, and even if there are records, they may not be correct, so the Iron Army Department must still conduct a detailed investigation and re-record them." ”

"The last general commands." There was nothing wrong with Tie Zhong, Ha Hanzhang continued.

"The second thing is to draw a military map, including topography, hydrology, climate, population, and even the customs of various places, these" Ha Hanzhang's head turned to Jiang Baili, the head of the Survey Department, "Baili, these will be handed over to your Survey Department." ”

Jiang Baili did not rush to respond to Ha Hanzhang's order, and this Chinese student, who had once been the first in the school of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, suddenly asked an elusive question after a little thought.

"Dare to ask the good military envoy, the Kazakh military envoy, how big should the scope of this map be? Do you have a reference? If the conclusion is inconclusive, the end will not know where to start. ”

"Of course, it is the whole map of Guangxu and the Qing Dynasty"

This is a rather tricky question, Ha Hanzhang just wanted to answer, but before he could finish the last few words, he was choked back by a sudden voice next to him.

"Wait, Han Zhang, I'll answer that question."

Ye Kai slowly propped up his waist, his eyes paused on everyone's faces one by one, and finally fixed on the face of Jiang Baili, who was waiting, and said in a hard and uncondensed voice: "Baili, you go to the Li Fan Yuan to find the "Kangxi Emperor's Panorama Map", according to the measurement on it, Tangnu Wulianghai, Wai Xing'an Mountains, Sakhalin, Taiwan, Aksai Chin are all indispensable, oh yes, there are also Han Domain, Sikkim, Nepal, Vietnam"

"The last general commands!"
