Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Luo Ronghuan announced the meeting. Shang Zhiyuan took a few female Red Army soldiers to add water to the leaders again. As for Li Jiansheng, Shang Zhiyuan knew that he was a "water tank" and had just come, so she poured him a large cup and sent it to his table in person. Shang Zhiyuan did this is her normal job, but it made Shen Pheasant, who was sitting below, feel sour in her heart, and only felt that this tea should be poured by herself.

Li Jiansheng took a sip of water, and then began the main topic of today's meeting.

The first is the announcement of personnel orders. He had already communicated with Luo Ronghuan and Zeng Zhongsheng about this personnel order, although Luo Ronghuan and Zeng Zhongsheng did not understand some of the personnel appointments and institutional settings, but after Li Jiansheng explained, they all gave strong support. This order was actually to be announced long before the attack on the southern part of Hu Zong, but it was delayed because of this matter, so it was postponed to the present. And Li Jiansheng is even more anxious. You must know that it is April 1937 now, and according to the official history, there are still more than three months to wait, and a full-scale war between China and Japan will break out, and then there will be a full-scale war of resistance, and it will be too late if you don't do many things.

The first order was the establishment of the General Staff of the Front. Zeng Zhongsheng served as chief of staff of the General Staff. Hu Tingquan, commander of the Red 20th Division, was promoted to deputy chief of staff of the Front Army, in charge of military affairs; Chen Mingshan, director of the Armed Forces Research Institute, was promoted to deputy chief of staff of the front army, in charge of equipment. Together with Deputy Chief of Staff Xu Zhengfang, who is in charge of logistics, and Yuan Guoping, deputy chief of staff, who is in charge of recruit training, they became assistants to Zeng Zhongsheng, chief of staff of the Front Army. Hu Tingquan is also an old Red Army rescued by Li Jiansheng from the Central Soviet Region, and his ability is very outstanding. After Hu Tingquan was promoted to deputy chief of staff of the front army, Gao Yuan, political commissar of the 20th Red Division, was transferred to the post of division commander, Liu Ye, former chief of staff of the division, was promoted to political commissar, and Mu Kouping, deputy division commander, was transferred to chief of staff of the division. Mu Kou was the deputy chief of staff of a division of the former Red Ninth Army Corps, who was rescued by Li Jiansheng on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, and was an old Red Army. Liu Husheng, deputy chief of staff of the Red 20th Division, took over Mu Kou's position. Liu Hu was a deputy commander of the former Red Third Army Corps, and after being rescued by the Xiangjiang River, he has been serving in Li Jiansheng's department. At that time, he was a deputy regiment commander in the Red Third Army Corps, and was investigated and dismissed from his post in the "suppression of rebellion" in the Central Soviet Region, and was later rescued by Li Jiansheng and served as a company commander in Li Jiansheng's department. But this old Red Army did not complain and always stuck to his post. Along the way, he was promoted to deputy chief of staff of the main division of the Red Third Front Army by virtue of his military exploits, and is now officially appointed deputy division commander.

The second order was to establish the Front Equipment Command. Chen Mingshan, deputy chief of staff of the Front Army and director of the Armed Forces Research Institute, was appointed commander of the Equipment Command, and Chen Dayong, political commissar of the Armed Forces Research Institute, was promoted to political commissar of the Equipment Command. The former Front Armament Research Institute, all captured weapons and vehicles of the troops, as well as weapons and other equipment that may appear and be captured in the future, and newly established related factories are under the control of the Armament Command. Li Jiansheng even made it clear in his order that the two of them should be instructed to quickly build an automobile repair shop or even a production plant, to rapidly develop radar, and to quickly build an aircraft repair factory. For these requirements, especially the three consecutive "instructions", Chen Mingshan and Chen Dayong dared to put pressure. Although the two had only seen planes bombing them from afar on the Long March, and they had no understanding of the planes, let alone the purpose of the commander-in-chief's request for the establishment of an aircraft repair plant in such a hurry, they still did not hesitate at the moment, stood up together, and said in unison: Yes!

The third order was to expand the logistics command of the front. The positions of Xu Zhengfang, commander of the headquarters, and Lin Dazhi, political commissar, remain unchanged. The clothing factories and flour mills of the Front Army will continue to be managed by the Logistics Command as before, while the weapons and equipment items will be transferred to the Equipment Command. The new logistics command should immediately set up a pharmaceutical research and development plant and develop a batch of new medicines, including powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. Authorize the Logistics Command to set up some factories related to people's livelihood and military use. Since then, the General Staff Department of the Front Army, the Political Department of the Front Army, the Logistics Department of the Front Army, the Equipment Department of the Front Army, and the Recruit Training Department of the Front Army will be the five major headquarters of the Front Army.

The fourth order was to set up the Academy of Military Sciences of the Red Third Front Army, with himself as secretary of the party committee and president of the Academy of Military Sciences, Luo Ronghuan as first deputy secretary and political commissar of the party committee of the Academy of Military Sciences, and Luo Kai as the second deputy secretary, vice president, and deputy political commissar of the party committee of the Academy of Military Sciences. The day-to-day affairs of the Academy of Military Sciences are presided over by Rod Kay. There are two types of teachers: basic subjects such as writing and language, and college students from the front army serve as teachers; For the rest, the former teaching brigade of the front army shall be responsible for the overall responsibility, and the first division will be drawn from the whole army, and if necessary, it may request support from the first, second, and fourth front armies. Deng Chengming, former commander of the Teaching Brigade, concurrently served as vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences, and Li Guoping, former political commissar of the Teaching Brigade, concurrently served as deputy political commissar of the Academy of Military Sciences. Deng Chengming was the deputy commander of the former Red First Army Corps, and Li Guoping was the former deputy commander of the Red Third Army Corps, both of whom were investigated and dismissed from their posts in the "suppression of rebellion", and were later rescued by Li Jiansheng on the edge of the Xiangjiang River. Later, he served as a battalion commander under Li Jiansheng, and after accumulating military merits, he was promoted to the teaching brigade and political chief officer directly under the front army. Later, when Li Jiansheng set up the Recruit Training Headquarters, he taught the brigade to be incorporated into the Recruit Training Headquarters. The two were respectively appointed deputy commander and deputy political commissar of the Recruit Training Command. At present, the Recruit Training Command has formed a standard, and the two of them are concurrently serving as important posts in the Academy of Military Sciences. You must know that the teaching brigade is Li Jiansheng's heart, and the two of them can hold this position, and their abilities are extraordinary. At this time, Li Jiansheng even ordered that the Academy of Military Sciences would be divided into four levels of teaching, the most common level, which was to select the top recruits to enroll in the school and train future grassroots officers; The second level is a crash course, which is mainly for in-depth training of current squad, platoon, and company commanders; The third level is the middle-level commander training class, which is mainly for the training of current battalion and regiment-level cadres; The fourth level, which is also the highest level, is the senior commander's training course, which mainly conducts systematic military training for senior commanders of divisions, brigades directly under their command, and senior commanders of the same level.

The fifth order was to remove Rod Kai from the post of chief of staff of the former Red 18th Division. The post of chief of staff of the 18th Red Division was transferred from Gong Houming, deputy chief of staff of the 15th Red Division. Gong Houming was the deputy chief of staff of a division of the former Red First Army, who was later investigated and dismissed from his post during the "suppression of rebellion" in the Central Soviet Region, and after being rescued by Li Jiansheng on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, he has been serving under his command, and has been promoted to the post of deputy chief of staff of the Red 15th Division, the first main division of the Red Third Front Army, by virtue of his military merits. Replacing Gong Houming was Chen Zhengsheng, political commissar of the 1st Red Regiment and former head of the 1st Red Army. Similarly, Chen Zhengsheng was also a member of Li Jiansheng who was rescued by the Xiangjiang River.

The sixth order was to form the Front Army Artillery Command and expand it on the basis of the original Front Army Artillery Brigade. Liu Fugui, former commander of the artillery brigade directly under him, and Liu Limin, political commissar, were promoted to commander and political commissar of the artillery headquarters respectively. The artillery brigade of the Red Third Front had many twists and turns. You must know that Li Jiansheng has always attached great importance to artillery, after the uprising in southern Hunan that year, Li Jiansheng set up a fire support company in his team, at first there was no artillery, then there was earth artillery, and then there were artillery and mortars. Later, with great development, the artillery was separated from the fire support company, from the artillery platoon and artillery company, and the cumulative expansion to the artillery battalion and artillery regiment, and later it was upgraded to an artillery brigade and an artillery division. Fortunately, Liu Fugui has great confidence in Li Jiansheng and himself, so he doesn't care about the rise and fall of his position. At this time, Li Jiansheng transferred another veteran artilleryman Liu Limin who had been exchanged from the Red Army. Liu Limin is an old artilleryman, that's right, but when did the Red Army have so many cannons? Therefore, Liu Limin, who was born as a child of a poor family, is even rarer than Liu Fugui, and the artillery combat technology is complementary to Liu Fugui: because Liu Limin did not have many cannons at hand, he used the cannon cautiously and flexibly, and was a typical guerrilla warfare artillery master; And Liu Fugui has been following Li Jiansheng, except for not many artillery at the beginning, the artillery has been in a state of increase, there are many artillery, and the use of artillery naturally has its own experience, so it has its own unique experience in group artillery group warfare. All this makes "Er Liu" a good partner who is heart-to-heart. Liu Fugui's original mind was on the cannon, and letting him serve as the political commissar was really a bit of a duck on the shelf. At present, there is a political commissar who loves artillery as much as himself, understands artillery warfare, complements each other tactically, has a harmonious personality, and is especially very skilled in political and ideological work to help him share the heavy responsibilities, which can make Liu Fugui overjoyed -- he, Liu Fugui, can be regarded as being able to devote himself to artillery warfare.

Li Jiansheng explained a little while announcing the order. After announcing the formation of the artillery headquarters, he took a big sip of water, glanced at the whole scene, and paused for a while. I know that most of the concepts to be announced next are new concepts for everyone here, and I need to let everyone be quiet before announcing the new order.
