(1st Update)

In the conference room of the Military Advisory Office, the heads of the seven major departments are there, and the specifications are at the highest level, as early as a few hours ago, they were notified that tonight, the military advisory envoy is here in person!

For the purpose of the sudden convening, several of them had a lot of discussions, since the Military Advisory Office was on the right track, everything had entered the fast lane, and it was rare for the Supreme Commander to come in the past few months, so in the few minutes of waiting, they would have time to make all kinds of unreliable guesses, but as Ye Kai walked into the venue, this meaningless discussion also came to an abrupt end.

Everyone stood up, Ye Kai sat down, and then smiled one by one.

"Sit down, I'm here today to discuss something with you."

Sure enough, there was a big event, and Ye Kai's first sentence couldn't help but make people breathe.

Looking at Feng Gengguang and Jiang Baili, Ye Kai couldn't laugh or cry, haha, which was a little relieved of the tense atmosphere on the scene.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about the situation of the Military Advisory Office in the past six months, right?" Ye Kai shook his head, faced Jiang Baili, who was closest to him, and said with a smile: "Baili, you say it first, I remember that you made a military order at the beginning, saying that within two years, you must draw a map of the whole country, I don't know if this is still a statement?" ”

"Liang Shuai, of course it counts!"

I don't know if it's this little radical method, which has attracted this talented young man to be ambitious, after a little thought, Jiang Baili reported in detail: "From last year to today, exactly one year, this year the Survey Department sent a total of 2,300 surveyors to the whole country, covering North China, Northeast China, Mongolia and other fifteen internal territories, to this day, in addition to Tibet, Yunnan, Vietnam, Han Fan these remote areas, the military and civilian maps have been basically drawn, a few days ago has been handed over to the troops stationed in Mongolia for use, the end of the estimate, In six to eight months, the map of the country will be complete. ”

After listening to Jiang Baili's report, Ye Kai nodded, deeply gratified, with such a large workload, it is not easy to do more than half of it in such a short time.

"It's worthy of being the first in the non-commissioned officer school, and I don't have to worry about it."

Ye Kai said with a smile, but after finishing speaking, he also reminded an extra point, "Baili, the completion of the survey and mapping does not mean the end, the map must be remembered to be proofread in the later stage, and it must be re-surveyed every once in a while, especially in some areas with changeable terrain, this point should be paid special attention to." ”

"Yes"

After Jiang Baili finished reporting, it was Shu Qing's turn next.

Compared to the former, his report was much more conservative.

"Report to Liangshuai, the intelligence section under the Intelligence Department, the first section and the second section, respectively responsible for international and foreign intelligence affairs, the second section is initially integrated and complete, according to the instructions of the good marshal, has been set up in Beijing, Tianjin, Fengtian, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other seventeen places to set up branch intelligence stations, there are nine stations one after another, the end of the general is expected, the intelligence to reach the whole country, it will take a year, and the first section is current" Shu Qing'a glanced at it, hesitated, or said: "It has not had time to establish, to set up an intelligence base in the territory of foreigners, It's difficult, the cost is too much, and the staff and equipment are not enough"

"How much is missing?" Ye Kai asked bluntly.

"About 500,000 taels of silver will be added every year, and at least 1,000 people will have to be recruited."

When they heard this number, a few people who sat down couldn't help but take a breath, so much money is almost catching up with the sum of the other halls, is it worth throwing all the money into it?

Of course, Ye Kai knows very well in his heart that intelligence work has always been a gold-swallowing monster, not to mention the two teeth of the US imperialist intelligence in later generations, which will cost billions of dollars every year, as far as the Mossad is concerned, there is also a budget of 2 billion a year, and there is one point that Shu Qing'a did not say, in addition to money and personnel, the most tense thing is time, at this stage, Ye Kai's intelligence department does not have the ability to cover the world.

Ye Kai pondered for a while and said, "First focus on getting the intelligence of Japan and South Korea, by the way, there is also Russia." ”

can't do it in one step, just take it slowly, Ye Kai's expedient measures are mainly aimed at Japan and Russia, after all, these two countries pose the greatest threat to China, and they are also the most practical, and it is a waste to do too much whipping at this stage.

"The last general commands!" Shu Qing'a gritted his teeth and said.

"Geng Guang, I miss your war hall very much."

Feng Gengguang, who heard the voice, hurriedly raised his head, he had been keeping his head down just now, not knowing what to think, and when he called his name, he was embarrassed for a while, and then his face was embarrassed.

"What? What happened? ”

Feng Gengguang scratched his head and said gloomily: "Liang Shuai, it's not that Geng Guang is careless, it's that the errand that Liang Shuai explained is too difficult to do." ”

"If it's easy, how can I trust you." Ye Kai asked, "Tell me, how is the summary of soldiers going?" ”

So far, there are only the Praetorian Guards, the Beiyang Army, the Southeast Self-Strengthening Army, the Hubei New Army, and the Guangzhou New Army have sent telegrams to the central government, a total of fifteen towns, and there is no news from the other towns, I don't know if the new army is built well, and I don't know if the old army has been cut, not to mention that there is a large group of scattered warriors without a number."

Speaking of this, Feng Gengguang is stomach is bitter, he is just a small hall official, how can he order the superintendent of the sole party, now he doesn't even use the holy decree of the imperial court, let alone them.

Ye Kai twisted his chin, this question also made him rack his brains, the new army of the 36 towns built by the central government has been less than half of it has been built so far, not to mention that the military expenditure has gone into private pockets, and the trained soldiers have also become private troops.

Eight Banners, Green Battalion, Hunan Army, Huai Army, New Army, the elimination of these armies, made the military system at the end of the Qing Dynasty chaotic to the extreme, and the biggest obstacle in front of Ye Kai is those feudal officials who gather local military and political power, they are not only the commanders of the old army, but also the founders of the new army, the order of the imperial court is not even as good as a sentence of the governor, the Beiyang Army is like this, the Huguang New Army is also like this, the stormy Qing Dynasty did not have a central army in the strict sense, and the rule of the country was maintained, all relying on the loyalty of his subordinates, How such a country does not fall apart.

"I'm sorry for you, Geng Guang, let this matter go for a while."

The only way to solve this problem is to remove the military power from the governor's hands, but with Ye Kai's current hole cards, he obviously can't do this.

The next is Tie Zhong of the Jiaoxin Hall and Bao Ying of the Shizhi Hall, both of which are routine reporting work, and on the whole, they are orderly, and Ye Kai is very satisfied. The fact that the Military Advisory Office has been able to achieve such results in just one year is also thanks to these military elites, who, despite their youth, will surely become important backbones of the General Staff Headquarters in the near future.

Of course, in addition to the thorny issue of local military power, Ye Kai was a little slight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I said early in the morning that I have something to discuss with you today." Ye Kai glanced at it and said solemnly: "In addition to the seventh hall, what do you think of the construction of another military hall?" ”

"Armament Hall?"

Looking around, everyone said, they waited for Ye Kai's explanation.
