Chapter 47: The First Division of the New Formation
After dinner, in the south study of Huangshan Villa, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Zhang Xuewu alone, Zhang Xuewu had to admit that Chiang Kai-shek's study was indeed very unique, the reason why it can be called unique is because there is no antique ornament in the study, there are not many rare books, and there is no Song paper Yuzhen!
A simple set of cloth hard spring sofas that many families have nowadays, a few elegant bonsai, a half-new desk, with Zhang Xuewu's eyes, can not tell what the specific material is, the simple bookshelf is mostly placed with some political axe dossiers and State of the Union investigation reports, etc., the only Italian fascist party propaganda poster seems to be lonely.
The inscriptions of several calligraphy and paintings are Jiang Zhongzheng, compared with Zhang Xueliang's study, Chiang Kai-shek's study here can only be regarded as simple to the extreme, and the renovated Huangshan Mansion has become a diametrical contrast, before Zhang Xuewu was still listening to Chiang Kai-shek muttering why to renovate? It's not as comfortable as getting used to it in the old.
Chiang Kai-shek, who had a kind smile on his face, first greeted him with a cold greeting, and then said: "Although Shenyang's act of resisting the enemy was suspected of disobedience, it played the military and national prestige, so that Yu Kou did not dare to despise me, and I should have rewarded you, taking into account international public opinion and the policy of political axes, plus your disobedience in the front, this kind of atmosphere cannot be boosted, so only the matter of commending and awarding medals can only be stopped, and this reorganization should be compensated for all times." ”
Chiang Kai-shek paused slightly and continued: "Your brigade has nearly 8,000 people, and all the officers and soldiers in this reorganization will be promoted to one level as a reward, and your department will be organized into the first division of the new army of the National Revolutionary Army, which will be directly under the Military Commission, you will be the commander of the major general, Colonel Hao Wenbin will be the deputy division commander, Colonel Huang Tao will be the director of the Political Department, and you can draw up your own list and report to the Ministry of Military Affairs for the rest of the departments. After the reorganization of the troops, go to Nanchang to replenish the equipment! ”
Going to Nanchang for camping? Zhang Xuewu's head suddenly exploded? Isn't the Nanchang camp the front line of the civil war? After all his hard work, he was transferred to the front line of the civil war? Zhang Xuewu is really unwilling, but he doesn't know how to speak?
Chiang Kai-shek saw Zhang Xuewu's slightly stunned appearance, so he explained: "The weapons ordered by the Ordnance Bureau from the German side will not arrive until the end of the year, and now all the German weapons in Nanjing's inventory have been allocated and replenished to the Fifth Army Headquarters. ”
Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a moment and said to Zhang Xuewu: "That's it!" Your unit is said to have contained the personnel of the Northeast Frontier Army's Armored Forces School, and a batch of Venera armored vehicles purchased in Italy before arrived in Tianjin because of the war in Shanghai. ”
Zhang Xuewu knew that after Chiang Kai-shek had painted a lot of cakes for himself, he really had to give himself a red date as a last resort!
But this red date is also sweet enough, the Italian Venera armored car? What could that be? A kind of armored car that he has never heard of at all, it is very likely that it is not even a production model, thinking of the miserable performance of the Italian army during World War II, Zhang Xuewu's expectations for this batch of armored vehicles produced in Italy have dropped a lot.
However, something is better than nothing, Zhang Xuewu looked grateful and saluted: "Thank you for the love of the chairman, and the ministry vows to be an example pacesetter for this adaptation!" In addition, I would like to ask the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, our unit is now not fully equipped with weapons and equipment, and it is bound to impress the training, and even if it is redressed in the Nanchang camp, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. ”
Shopping? Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, the word purchase first appeared in the Second Northern Expedition, because the Guangzhou Nationalist Axe could not guarantee the military expenses and weapons of the Northern Expedition armies, and the various ministries were proud to raise funds to buy at a high price from foreign banks in Shanghai. The newly formed 1st Division, which is directly under the Central Military Commission of the National Political Axe, was actually purchased? This doesn't make Yan Xishan and Li Zongren laugh off their big teeth? You must know that the army of a dignified division has a military salary of 498,000 yuan in just one month, not to mention weapons and equipment, otherwise how can the army pull out 10,000 taels of gold! ”
To be on the safe side, Chiang Kai-shek asked, "Chengwen, how are you going to buy arms?" ”
Zhang Xuewu hesitated for a moment and said, "I am going to launch a wide range of fundraising, and through the relationship of my cousin Zhang Xueliang, I will first purchase a batch of weapons to solve the urgent need." ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly and said: "I will ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to allocate a part of the cost to you, and it is a normal purchase to the outside world, and you must not mention the purchase, you are now the Central Army, and you are also the future National Defense Force, you can understand this without me saying it." ”
Zhang Xuewu nodded cautiously, and Jiang Gong, who almost became an iron rooster, was also dragged off by Zhang Xuewu with a handful of chicken feathers! Zhang Xuewu is not afraid of being embarrassed, Chiang Kai-shek is not afraid! Especially this time, it is for these miscellaneous armies to see, let you see the benefits of defecting to the Central Army, and Zhang Xuewu, who has become a typical example, also lightly knocked on Chairman Jiang's bamboo bar a few times according to local conditions.
In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek is also helpless, where is there a good thing that wants the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass? Let Zhang Xuewu tighten his trouser belt, and boast to a group of fat heads and big ears outside: I'm tired of eating braised pork, and I feel sick to my stomach when I see it? I'm afraid no one will believe it.
After sending Zhang Xuewu away, Chiang Kai-shek returned to the study alone, took out a 250,000 to 1 map of the Chinese Republic [***] from the bookshelf, stopped when he turned to Pingjin, and followed the railway trunk line to Chengde, Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, Rehe has lofty mountains and mountains as a barrier, and the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Jin Army are stationed along the line, and their Central Army can quickly reinforce north along Zhengzhou and Pingjin.
On the contrary, once Shanhaiguan is lost, Pingjin and Pingchuan have no danger to rely on, and it is best for me to attack Rehe through Shanhaiguan, so that I can at least win six to eight months for myself, one can frustrate the edge of the army, and the other is to let those who stand and talk in Pinghai without backache, such as Feng Yuxiang and the like, who sing high-profile protests, will transfer his Northwest Army to fight himself, so that Feng Yuxiang also knows that Xiao Yue is not so easy to deal with, so that the troops below the Northwest Army will suffer some hardships. When they understood that there was no good fruit to eat if they followed the path of the old chief, they would naturally understand.
Ann, Zhenwu, Xingguo! Chiang Kai-shek wrote down six big characters in a row, and I don't know if he was dissatisfied with the meaning of the word or his own calligraphy, so Chiang Kai-shek folded the big characters and put them aside.
Suddenly, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes fell on a file sent by the Fuxing Society that had sent him the number of the new troops in the northeast and the names of the commanders.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes fell on the seemingly insignificant point of Shanhaiguan!
