(1st Update)

After hearing Ye Kai's sonorous and powerful words, everyone's faces turned red in unison, and while breathing became slightly short, there was a sense of confusion in God's eyes, which was a kind of excitement that came from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Kai told everyone here in such an undisguised way that although the territory of the empire is vast, no inch of land is superfluous, not a few people at the top can be ceded permanently with a contract, let alone a cake in the eyes of the great powers, which can be cut away with a knife, if possible, Ye Kai really wants to clearly convey this meaning to everyone, whether it is those Eastern and Western robbers with knives and forks or the most ordinary Chinese people.

In addition, there seems to be such a subtext in his words, our ancestors fought down with flesh and blood and sabers, and what is lost from the battlefield must be taken back in the same way, regardless of the face of politicians, this is the dignity of soldiers alone.

"Baili, drawing a map is a big deal, you must be conscientious, and this matter will be left to you." After speaking, Ye Kai still used these words to encourage Jiang Baili, a military theorist who would occupy a prominent position in China's modern military history in the future, and now, like everyone else, is still a young but energetic and enthusiastic officer.

Of course, Ye Kai's words also revealed some helplessness, due to the short-sightedness of the upper echelons, the map data at the end of the Qing Dynasty was extremely scarce, and even after the founding of New China, some places in the Northeast were actually used by the Japanese Kwantung Army in those years.

"Within two years, I, Jiang Baili, will definitely hand over this map to the military envoy in its original form."

Jiang Baili patted his chest and assured, considering the vastness and complexity of China's land area, such a speed is already extremely amazing, Ye Kai nodded, and the order of his speech directly crossed Ha Hanzhang, and simply said it himself.

"The next step is to transfer military advisers to the armies in various places, and the status of military advisers in the army will be second only to the command, and on the issue of the right to transfer troops, no one except the military adviser has the right to command a single soldier."

Ye Kai's words are tantamount to completely emptying the military power of the control of each town, indeed, he has no secret of this meaning, so it is not surprising that when he finished his words slowly, there was an uproar and discussions below.

Except for Ye Kai and Ha Hanzhang, who had already known in advance, almost everyone below didn't understand much, if they really did what Ye Kai said, this action would be no less than a craniotomy in the army system.

"Isn't that some?"

Feng Gengguang, the director of the War Department, who had not spoken, thought for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Feng Junting, do you want to say that the military advisor is acting on his behalf?"

He knew very well what kind of turmoil and doubts his approach would cause, since it was a closed-door meeting, Ye Kai didn't mind completely opening the conversation, he knew that these people in front of him had all served as senior officers in the army, so it was naturally clear what impact his orders would have on the entire army.

"Good military envoy, please forgive me, I'm afraid this will be very difficult." Half a day later, Feng Gengguang said cautiously.

"No matter how hard it is, you have to do it!"

Without giving any chance to raise objections, Ye Kai gave his reply without any delay, and the tone of his speech was no longer a discussion, but a strongly-worded order.

If they were like Ye Kai, with this special identity, standing on the edge of the tide of history, looking at the big and small things that will happen in this land in the future, maybe they would not have such doubts, however, this is just a joke after all, if you want to change all this, you need a strong hand to cut off all the thorns and turn the wheel of history to change the direction of progress.

The army at the end of the Qing Dynasty is no longer a shield and spear to defend the country and defend the people, but a private armed force under the independent kingdom, if their vision is farther and they can penetrate time and space, see the catastrophe left by a warlord melee that lasted for more than 30 years, and see the army become a sharp blade in the hands of executioners and dictators, perhaps, they know the urgency and necessity of Ye Kai to do this, as well as his good intentions.

"Geng Guang, this matter will be handed over to your war hall, the specific arrangements and itinerary, your people have to make a detailed plan, I will look at it from time to time."

Ye Kai said in an almost dictatorial tone, in his opinion, the word loyalty should be written in the genes of the army, and no one can say anything about this issue.

Ye Kai's words made Feng Gengguang a little unsure of how to answer, and after a while, he asked stubbornly: "Good military envoy, what if no one listens to the order after the military advisory officer arrives, this kind of thing is not impossible."

Ye Xingxing sneered, his mind was not reckless, if he wanted to break the pattern of interests, in addition to making heavy punches, he also had to pay attention to strategy, since some kind of symbiosis of interests had been formed, then the newly created military advisers would inevitably be boycotted, if they were forcibly inserted, at that time, it was not the army system that might be overturned, but the military advisers with a weak foundation.

"Of course, this matter cannot be done overnight, we can start from the bottom, such as a battalion, a association, and then gradually rise to the town and army."

The technique of boiling frogs in warm water, Ye Kai almost caught it, he just wanted to establish the authority of the military adviser and the military advisory office little by little in this subtle way, if he didn't do enough, the result would inevitably be that the army would not be big in the future, he thought about it, and then said: "Let's start with the Beiyang Army in Gyeonggi." ”

"By the way, we can set up a military advisory council in the army, as the highest military council, the decision-making power is in the hands of the military advisory officer, and the command only has the power to observe and not give orders." After making arrangements for the Beiyang Army to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, Ye Kai then gave specific measures and further more practical methods to establish the authority of the military advisers.

"Geng Guang, is it clear?" Ye Kai asked with a smile.

In Ye Kai's resolute gaze, Feng Gengguang could only smile bitterly and nodded, he knew what kind of tricky situation he would face next, as well as countless troubles.

However, what reassured him a little was that there was also a military advisory office behind him, and Ye Kai, who showed an almost strongman posture on this issue, to a certain extent, everyone here knew that the current empire needed such a role more, and if all the decisions of the former were correct, they would not mind doing their best to complete what Ye Kai had explained.

"The last general commands." Feng Gengguang made up his mind.

"There's one last thing for today's meeting."

After solving the problem of the military advisor, Ye Kai kept his eyes on Bao Ying, who held the position of director of the History Department in the Military Advisory Office.

Judging from the name alone, among all the seven halls of the Military Advisory Office, the status of the Shi Zhi Hall seems to be relatively weak, but in Ye Kai's plan, no department will be idle, just like a person, if you want to exert all your strength, in addition to using both hands and feet, it is also essential to be deaf and clear, and the Shi Zhi Hall plays such a role.

If we have a clear grasp of the personnel arrangements and basic operations of the History Department, it can be replaced by another name, the Propaganda Department, which means that the History Department, which seems to have no real power, will become the mouthpiece of the Military Advisory Office and even the entire military system.

"Baojun Agency, your task is to prepare for the "Imperial Army Newspaper", as well as to dispatch military reporters in the military system above the battalion level, regularly extract some information about the army, and widely distribute it to the people."

Very well aware of the role of public opinion warfare in future wars, Ye Kai ordered more than a dozen indispensable propaganda methods in one breath, including some modern public opinion measures that exceeded the times at that time, and these Bao Ying was in a fog, but the latter still accepted it all after a little thought.

"There's another important task for you, and you have to do it first." Ye Kai raised his head, looked at Bao Ying, who was trying to keep up with Ye Kai's speaking rhythm, and solemnly added.

"The last general will listen to the orders of the good military envoy."

"Compile a volume of "Military Codex", you must carry it with you, and each person has a copy, which should include military discipline, imperial territory, army songs, and the virtuous kings, saints, generals, and famous ministers of all dynasties who have expanded their territory."

At the end of the words, Ye Kai's voice paused, and then stretched out a finger, his eyes looked straight at Bao Ying under the seat, and made an important request: "Baojun Hall, the last page of the codex must be marked with a special sentence." ”

At this moment, Bao Ying's mind was full of transcribing Ye Kai's words, and he was struggling to copy the main points of the former's speech just now on the notepad, and he didn't even bother to look up, however, when he heard the next sentence, his head suddenly raised.

"The national fortune hangs on the shoulders of our generation, and the ancient precept is engraved on the chest of my generation.

He saw the former's outstretched palm slowly curl into a fist, and then pressed tightly against his chest, and in an instant, blood seemed to swim all over his body with an unreasonable speed and heat.
