What Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that he had just appeared with this idea, and he had just started the layout, but he hadn't said it yet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info among the group of people below to instigate themselves to overthrow the imperial court.

What's more, the people who have this kind of thinking are all those who have returned from studying abroad and have real talents.

However, before he had the strength to confront the imperial court, what Yang Xingguo could do was forbearance.

Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo hurriedly said: "Deputy commander, let's just listen to this kind of thing, don't say it!" ”

Zhou Zhongju replied with a smile: "I understand that now we don't have the strength to confront the imperial court, and we only have a small Liaodong. When we have the entire Northeast in the future, with hundreds of thousands of elites in our hands, we will not be afraid at that time, and we can say whatever we want? ”

Zhou Zhongju's straightforward answer made Yang Xingguo couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

After thinking about it, he still asked: "Deputy commander, how can the people below have such thoughts, aren't they afraid of killing their heads?" As far as I know. In the past few years, many people have lost their heads because of this kind of thing! ”

"Quite simply, they see in us the hope of a strong country. Also, the commander you changed the county order to the county magistrate, and the decentralization of power to the county magistrate is very in line with the constitutional monarchy and presidential system they have seen in Europe and the United States. ”

"In addition, they were all born in the study abroad, and they have a lot of new ideas in their heads, and they know the huge gap between our Great Qing Kingdom and European and American countries. In addition, they are not reused by the court after they come back, so they do not have such a strong sense of belonging to the court. It's been a long time, and it's all a group of young people, so it's normal to have this kind of thought. ”

"I'm sure that if I tell them the news of the abolition of the government and the establishment of Liaodong Province, they will be even more convinced of the idea of a constitutional monarchy and a presidential system. When the time comes, as long as there is a chance, they will encourage the commander to fulfill their wishes and dreams of becoming a strong country. ”

At this time, Chief of Staff Sun Liechen suddenly said with a firm face: "Commander, since I joined the Liaodong Army, I will follow you, no matter what decision you make, I will support it!" ”

"Although you didn't clearly show your ambitions, the soldiers below, especially the senior officers, everyone understands that the commander you formed the Liaodong Army is not for the imperial court!"

"If nothing else, let's talk about the establishment of troops. The establishment of our Liaodong Army is not the same as that of the imperial army, and it is completely different. To a certain extent, this has already told everyone that the commander's state of mind will never come together with the imperial court. ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Yang Xingguo was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, he hurriedly asked: "Since this is the case, then those officers below are not worried, and they have not thought about leaving the Liaodong Army, after all, this is a matter of losing their heads!" ”

"Nope! The brothers never thought of leaving! Sun Lichen replied very decisively.

"Many of my senior officers in the Liaodong Army have been trained by themselves, and since they joined the Liaodong Army, they have nothing to do with the imperial court. Looking at their backgrounds, they are either bandits or ordinary people, and there are a small number of international students, and it is impossible for them to come together with the imperial court. So, knowing your ambitions, the brothers are not only not afraid, but also excited! ”

Yang Xingguo also shook his head and replied to Sun Liechen: "No, there is another reason why they don't leave!" That's because my Liaodong Army has never been defeated, and they have confidence here. If we go through a big defeat, I'm sure, there will be a lot of people who will be shaken. ”

At this time, Yang Xingguo's tone suddenly changed, and he continued: "Okay, we have already digressed more and more, this is a matter for the future, and we will discuss it in the future." Now back to the DPA discussion. ”

"Chief of Staff, since the Political Department has been resisted below, the officers and men do not approve of the political ideas we have put forward. Do you think there is still a need for the Department of Political Affairs to exist? ”

"It is necessary to ......," Sun replied in a surprising voice.

Before Yang Xingguo could react, Sun Liechen changed his tone and continued: "However, the main work of the Political Department must be changed! ”

Yang Xingguo hurriedly asked, "How did it change?" ”

Sun Liechen did not answer directly, but analyzed Yang Xingguo: "Although the officers and men below are very resistant to the political and ideological work of the Political Department, it is undeniable that after these instructors and instructors go down, they will still be useful in improving the morale of the troops. ”

"Also, after they are in charge of the logistics and combat records of the troops, the battalion and company commanders can show more experience to direct the troops in battle. Moreover, using these trained personnel to manage logistics is much more effective than the original management by battalion commanders and company commanders. ”

Yang Xingguo replied thoughtfully: "I probably understand, what you mean is that in the future, these people sent by the political department will be mainly responsible for assisting the military commander in managing logistics, recording the soldiers' combat exploits, etc., and then the political and ideological education of the soldiers!" ”

It was definitely enough to get Sun Liechen, and Yang Xingguo immediately fell into deep thought.

In fact, at this time, Yang Xingguo had already approved Sun Liechen's proposal from the bottom of his heart, and regretted that he had insisted on setting up the Political Department at the beginning.

Decades later, the reason why the Political Department would play an important role in the army led by our party was because the people at that time experienced a series of wars such as warlord warfare, and the people were not able to make a living, and a series of other reasons led to this result.

The Liaodong Army in front of him obviously does not have the conditions to talk about political ideology with everyone, and this is because he is too anxious.

A few minutes later, Yang Xingguo decisively decided: "The Political Department still needs to be abolished, but a Political Department must be established and managed by your General Staff." From now on, the work tasks of the Political Office will be carried out in accordance with what the Chief of Staff has just said. In addition, the personnel assigned by the Political Department are collectively called the Director of the Political Department, and they are set up in units above the regiment level. As for the battalions and companies below, there are still instructors and instructors. ”

"There is also the issue of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the chief of the political department accepts the dual leadership of the military chief directly under him and the political department at the next higher level, and is equal to the deputy rank of the military chief, but does not have military command power."

"Take the current regiment-level headquarters of our Liaodong Army as an example, in the future, it will include a regiment commander, a chief of staff, and a director of the political department. The regiment commander and chief of staff are responsible for military operations and peacetime training of troops, and the head of the political department is responsible for logistics, the evaluation of soldiers' combat merits, and political and ideological education! ”

"What about Director Huang?" Zhou Zhongju hurriedly asked.

Yang Xingguo replied without thinking: "The level of the Political Department has been reduced, and Director Huang is certainly not suitable to continue to be the director." Didn't you have the energy to take care of government affairs, so let Director Huang go over, and internally appoint him as the governor of Liaodong Province, appoint Yan Bing as the vice governor of Liaodong Province, and assist Governor Huang in managing the economy of the entire Liaodong! ”

"Second uncle, you will completely get out of the government in the future and continue to be in charge of the logistics and intelligence of the Liaodong Army!"

Zhou Zhong's eyes lit up and he affirmed: "This arrangement is good, I completely agree!" (To be continued.) )
