The letter of appointment of the Supreme Military Commission is not exquisite in Zhang Xuewu's opinion, and the newly issued military uniform also looks a little ill-fitting.

Zhang Xuewu is military uniform must fit and straight, military boots must be shiny, tweed coats must be ironed every day, and military appearances can not be relaxed at all times, rather be cold, but also stylish! As the so-called tangible world is infinitely beautiful, as a soldier Zhang Xuewu's military appearance can be described as outstanding, the so-called requirements of the Chinese [***] people in this year for the appearance and posture of the army have not reached the degree of rigidity in later generations, so Zhang Xuewu seems to be extremely outstanding.

After Zhang Xuewu's cooperation with the People's Daily, Ta Kung Pao, and the declaration of several photos were published, he suddenly became an idol in the minds of young men and women nowadays. Zhang Xuewu held a telescope and rode a white horse, and the high-spirited photo set off a wave of intellectual youth joining the army all over the country!

However, the side effect of military fever is that Zhang Xuewu received tens of thousands of love letters from all over the country, countless celebrities and nobles have feelings for Zhang Xuewu, Huang Tao, Li Xinkai and others are bored to open the letter for Zhang Xuewu to review the photos inside, these letters are even from the United States, Britain, Nanyang, what Zhang Xuewu even more unexpected is that these celebrities and noblewomen heard that Zhang Xuewu was waiting to defend the land in the barren land of Rehe, and his military expenses were stretched, so he scolded the Ministry of Military Affairs. This made Minister He and all my colleagues in the Ministry of Military Affairs cry out for injustice! The most unexpected thing is that these famous ladies launched a large-scale fundraiser, and they raised more than 5 million yuan in just ten days? Nanyang Lin's 1,000 gold donated his dowry of 500,000 yuan, which made Zhang Xuewu embarrassed.

Afterwards, Xu Guohui always used the prince riding a white horse to make fun of Zhang Xuewu, but Zhang Xuewu suddenly told Xu Guohui very seriously that in fact, not all the princes who rode the white horse, but also Tang Seng! As a result, Xu Guohui was dumbfounded, and Huang Tao laughed.

Soon, the Nanjing Supreme Military Commission approved the Ministry of Military Affairs to approve Zhang Xuewu's declaration, and drafted the Rehe Army to call for the Huben, and to govern the new First Army, which consisted of the new first, second, and third infantry divisions, and established the Rehe Garrison Command, which commanded the Rehe Garrison Division and the Chasui Garrison Division, and the Reading Artillery Brigade and the Reading Mechanized Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Corps, and the three field infantry infantry divisions established were implemented according to the adjustment division plan of the German advisers, with two brigades under each division, two regiments under each brigade, and one supplementary regiment under each division, as well as troops directly under the division. A total of 16,500 people, the garrison division is composed of more than 1,800 troops per regiment, the division has jurisdiction over three regiments, including the troops directly under the corps, and the Rehe Army has a total establishment of more than 100,000 people.

Lieutenant General Zhang Xuewu, who made great contributions in the First Battle of Rehe, was appointed commander of the Rehe Corps and commander of the new First Army, Hao Wenbin was promoted to major general and deputy commander of the new First Army, Huang Tao was promoted to major general and director of the Political Department of the Corps, Li Xinkai was promoted to major general and chief of staff of the Corps, Xu Guohui was appointed major general and commander of the First Infantry Division, Wang Chuang was appointed major general and commander of the Second Infantry Division, Zhao Xinyu was appointed major general and commander of the Third Third Infantry Division, Hu Zhenglong was appointed colonel and commander of the Chasui Garrison Division, Zhanyang was appointed colonel and commander of the Rehe Garrison Division, and Zhang Tianpeng was appointed major general and brigade commander of the Reading Artillery Brigade. Tang Ziqiang served as the commander of the mechanized brigade, Qin Buji served as the captain of the Falcon Commando Colonel, and Yao Le served as the captain of the Blade Commando Colonel.

The field hospital, engineer regiment, cavalry regiment, signal regiment, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and heavy mortar battalion under the jurisdiction of the regiment were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the newly formed First Army.

It can be said that the Nanjing Supreme Military Commission was extremely generous this time, so that the original new First Division could be described as a shining star, and eight major generals and one lieutenant general were promoted in a row, but the Ministry of Military Affairs also equipped the Rehe Corps with 22 deputy colonels.

Now he already has 30,000 veterans and 20,000 recruits in his hands, plus the remaining 5,000 people of the new First Division, as well as the 7,000 supplementary troops and cadet brigades left behind by the new First Division, there is still a shortage of at least more than 60,000 people.

It can be said that the ratio of new veterans in Zhang Xuewu's troops has reached the most perfect one-to-one ratio, in fact, this is a great waste in the eyes of others, a combat reinforcement squad of sixteen people, the main and deputy squad leaders are matching two veterans, it is already a very luxurious, but Rehe is the key to the city, so whether it is the Nanjing Central Political Axe or the Beiping Army Branch, no one dares to snub the newly formed Rehe Army, the weapons and supplies of the three standard divisions and an artillery regiment equipped with 75 mm field artillery, It can be said that there will never be a shortage of catties and shortages.

Just this point, only the Central Teaching Corps can enjoy this treatment in the battle sequence, such as the 83rd Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division, which are also paid 95% off military salaries and materials, which is the old tradition left by the Beiyang political axe in the early years of the Republic of China.

Most of the fine virtues, traditions, blood surnames and pride of the Chinese nation have been annihilated and consumed by time, but the tradition of material strips and military salary discounts seems to be adhered to very well by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Obviously, such a beautiful thing cannot appear in reality.

For Zhang Xuewu, the most important thing at present is to recruit soldiers and engage in equipment, pondering money, as the so-called inappropriate family does not know the price of firewood and rice, this will make Zhang Xuewu know that He Yingqin's expression when he heard that he was going to form five divisions and two reading brigades was so weird, Rehe recruited 60,000 young and strong, even if it was a strong man, it would definitely not be completed, and although the two garrison divisions were B, the cost of two B divisions plus two reading brigades was definitely a lot of money!

In particular, Zhang Xuewu's two reading brigades turned out to be artillery brigades and mechanized brigades, these two things are even more money-burners, Nanjing Central Government Academy has long wanted to open an armored department, but the cost is high, it is difficult to guarantee, and even oil needs to be imported in China, not to mention its expensive combat vehicles.

For the recruitment of the legion related matters, Zhang Xuewu specially convened an enlarged meeting of officers above the battalion level, Rehe said that it was very big, but it was not big, but it was not big, and there were many mountains and Gobi, the soil was poor and the population was sparse, and Tang Yulin was perverse in Rehe, Rehe was already boiling with grievances, and the people in many villages were almost running away, and the family fled with their own land deeds and house deeds pasted on the door frames, and it was after the Great War, Rehe has become the frontier of the country.

At this time, even if Zhang Xuewu wants to pull Zhuang Ding, there is nowhere to pull it! Therefore, in order to replenish the corps, Zhang Xuewu specially convened this enlarged meeting of officers above the battalion level.

The battalions, regiments, and division commanders at all levels who came to the meeting were also full of complaints, and the brothers in life and death who were still holding their necks and calling their brothers brothers a few days ago, at this moment, they almost looked at each other angrily in order to demarcate the conscription area, Zhang Xuewu still understood this very well, although the Rehe Army is a large unit, but there is such a special existence as the new First Army, and the call sign of the tiger can be used on the Rehe Army, and it can also be used on the new First Army, which everyone knows very well.

Since the corps has a call sign, then the main force of the subordinate should also have a corresponding call sign, but this call sign is not mixed and waiting for the dead platoon qualifications to be arranged, it needs to be bloody, when there is no battle, it depends on who is well-trained, whose army management is rigorous, the three main field divisions and the two garrison divisions are gritting their teeth and holding back a lot of strength at the moment, especially Zhanyang and Hu Zhenglong, the division commander of the colonel B division, although Xu Guohui, Wang Chuang and others are their old commanders, but it does not mean that Hu Zhenglong and Zhanyang do not have the heart to rise up.

Real soldiers have a strong sense of self-esteem, no one wants to be subservient, and they are all division commanders in name, they have to stand up and salute when they see others, and the supply must be the main field division, and the two garrison divisions are like children raised by their stepmothers, although Hu Zhenglong and Zhanyang know in their hearts that Zhang Xuewu will not treat them badly, but from the feeling that this also makes them a little unacceptable.

In addition, there has been a lot of friction between the various units of conscription recently, and the divisional-level commanders under the stage are fine, but the regimental-level ones are a little presumptuous, and the battalion-level ones are almost open-mouthed.

Zhang Xuewu looked around at the meeting, drank a sip of herbal tea, and suddenly snapped, and smashed the cup to pieces, everyone present was immediately dumbfounded, the corps commander was really angry, no one dared to take it seriously, so the lively vegetable market became a serious venue again.

Zhang Xuewu coughed and said, "I said, can you people have some talent?" Isn't it just a conscription? Because several soldiers are from the source of the army, one by one, it seems that the hatred is as deep as the sea? What are you all doing? ”

As soon as Zhang Xuewu spoke, all the officers below were honest, according to the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, a division of six regiments was divided into two brigades, but Zhang Xuewu in order to be able to control the troops more easily, also because he had too few people, and he didn't want to be placed too many deputy positions by Nanjing.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu came up with a way to introduce the competition mechanism of later generations, the brigade commander of the Rehe Army is a colonel, and the general regiment commander is a colonel or lieutenant colonel, but the position of the brigade is not fixed, but according to the training results of each regiment, if a regiment has the best results, the commander of a regiment will concurrently serve as the commander of the infantry of the division, equivalent to the brigade rank, enjoy the brigade commander's special car allowance, family visits and other treatment, if the three regiments surpass next month, then the commander of the three regiments will enjoy the above treatment, Zhang Xuewu is known as the incentive system.
