For Wang Lin, this was a meaningless conversation, but for Sun Wen, in addition to making him leave in great anger, this meeting also made him know Wang Lin's true thoughts.

After Sun Wen left Wang Lin's office, Wang Lin ordered Sun Wen to be expelled from Hainan and not allowed to enter Hainan for half a step without permission. The purpose is not to let Sun Wen have the slightest idea of continuing to cooperate.

When Sun Wen left Hainan, Britain, France, and Germany jointly sent a telegram, saying that Sun Wen was a thief and had nothing to do with Wang Lin at all. The relationship between the Germans and Wang Lin is somewhat ambiguous, and it is nothing for the Germans to come out to speak for Wang Lin at this time, but the key is that the British and the French also stood up to speak for Wang Lin. There were no large-scale conflicts between Wang Lin and the French in the Far East, and there was nothing unjustifiable for the French to come out and speak. The problem lies with the British, the Chinese fleet in the Far East was completely annihilated, and the two sides should be incompatible, and the British were able to send a telegram to defend Wang Lin, which surprised many people. However, the most important party, Wang Lin, has never issued a telegram statement.

After the reorganization of the Hainan Army, its strength suddenly increased by more than three times, but fortunately, the arsenal located in Sichuan slowly began to produce, and the copper mines in the jurisdiction of the nine provinces also slowly began to produce, and the establishment of the Sichuan Arsenal suddenly reduced the pressure on the Hainan Arsenal a lot, after about half a year of full production, plus there has been inventory in the previous years, Wang Lin then armed all the newly expanded troops.

The reorganization of the army is imminent, the number of the unit is easy to say, at this time Wang Lin is in a dilemma for the title of the army, because the troops are all from Hainan, so it is nothing to call the Hainan Army, but now it is different, each of the nine provinces has tens of thousands of soldiers, and now it is still called the Hainan Army, I am afraid it will be a little bad.

Wang Lin was even more in a dilemma for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, even if the title of the army was changed at present, it was only temporary, because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the army would definitely have to change the title, after all, it was a country's armed forces, and it could not always carry a local surname.

In the midst of the lush greenery, Wang Lin came to the combat conference room, which was usually used to discuss matters about the troops in addition to combat deployment, and there was a complete set of sand tables in it to facilitate everyone's on-site speculation.

When Wang Lin arrived at the battle room, everyone had already arrived, and all the generals and leaders of the army gathered here, Tang San, vice commander of the army, Sa Zhenbing, vice commander of the navy, Yang Shihai, chief of the armed police, Yang Yuquan, vice chief of the air force, Fang Shan, chief of police, Tang Yun, minister of foreign affairs, and Li Ping, premier of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition, there are more than a dozen officers with the rank of colonel and major general on their shoulders.

This meeting is not only about the reorganization of the armed forces, but also involves many other aspects, and it can also be regarded as an overall action in Hainan, but it is only launched by the military in advance.

"Tang San, let's start." Wang Lin looked at Tang San and nodded, now Tang San is basically in charge of the army, as for the rest, Wang Lin has his own arrangements.

Tang San nodded to everyone, did not pick up the baton next to the sand table, and said directly: "At present, the total strength of our army is 880,000 people, of which after some soldiers are removed to the intelligence department and other departments, the number of our army is still about 850,000, in the next reorganization, according to the commander-in-chief's intention, the army will be expanded into ten armies, a total of thirty infantry divisions, and the other three armies and nine infantry divisions will be divided into armed police forces, and one army and nine infantry brigades will be converted into military police units. The commander-in-chief personally issues the numbers of these units prior to their integration. ”

Tang San simply said the army's change plan, the most excited person is Yang Shihai, the chief of the armed police, before the armed police force only had tens of thousands of people, but it was more than enough to manage a Hainan, and the soldiers could occasionally go out on vacation to rest, but since occupying the other eight provinces, the most tense troops were the armed police force, Yang Shihai was even more anxious to tear the soldiers into two or three to use, not to mention the previous holidays, now if you want to sleep peacefully, you have to see whether people are willing to do so.

But now it's good, the armed police force has suddenly increased by four corps and twelve divisions, and all of them are regular army establishments, Yang Shihai can finally explain to the brothers below, and he doesn't have to be as nervous as before.

After glancing at everyone's reactions, Tang San continued to speak: "This time the reorganization of the army, in addition to the 54th and 55th divisions of the original 11th Army and the 67th Division of the 18th Army of the Hainan Army remain unchanged and form the new 11th Army, there is also the number of the Third Army that will not be moved, and the rest of the divisions of the original Hainan Army will be broken up, and in the process of reorganization, each new unit will be entered, the soldiers will serve as squad and platoon leaders, and the officers at all levels will be promoted by one or two levels, so that the new troops can form combat effectiveness in the fastest time." Therefore, in the near stage, the tough battle or something will be handed over to the New Eleventh Army. ”

After hearing this news, the most proud person is Liu Yong, the commander of the 11th Army, at present, the combat effectiveness of the 11th Army has not declined after the reorganization, but has increased a lot, Liu Yong of the 67th Division of the 18th Army has been thinking about it for a long time, but he did not expect that the 67th Division would be given to the 11th Army in this way.

Of course, in addition to the happiest, there is also the most depressed, that is, Chen Mingjie, the commander of the 18th Army, a good main force is gone, and the most elite 67th Division has not been transferred, and finally the remaining two divisions have been scattered, and he has changed from a general with heavy troops to a bare-bones commander.

"Don't be discouraged, if the army is to develop, if the nation is to progress, we must endure some pain that seems intolerable, and if no one is willing to give it up, then how can we get more? Although at present our Hainan Army is the unit with the strongest combat effectiveness, our numbers are too small, and it is very difficult for us to unify the whole country alone, and this is the most difficult stage for us, and we can only send you, experienced veterans and officers, to the new unit and bring out a new strong army for us. Otherwise, we can only stay where we are, and the 11th Army is retained because we need a strong army to maintain the current situation, and we can't break up all the armies, I hope you can understand, but in the end I still want to tell you that without today's abandonment, there will be no national tomorrow. Tang San saw that the officers who had learned that their troops were about to be disbanded lowered their heads and sighed, so he could only comfort them lightly.

After all, Tang San didn't want to see this situation, but the newly formed troops were very short of officers at this time, and the squad leaders and those sergeant majors who were currently performing well in the Hainan Army, and those who had command talents were basically at the company commander level, and the latter had even reached the deputy battalion commander, because every soldier who wants to be promoted to sergeant major must undergo a series of tests, as long as you can complete this test, then it proves that you are fully capable of commanding a battalion battle, and the second-class sergeant major is enough to command the battalion and regimental level troops to command the battleThis is also the preparation that Wang Lin secretly made in anticipation of the shortage of officers, and some soldiers who performed well on the battlefield were also promoted to platoon commanders. However, the soldiers who arrived there were basically squad leaders, and only a few people failed to become cadres for various reasons.

The 54th, 55th, and 67th Divisions were originally formed by Wang Lin, and almost all the officers who came out of the small black house were also there.

"Okay, what should be said has been said, now I will talk about the numbers of each unit. In order to reduce the time for the reorganization of the troops, this reorganization will be divided according to the reorganization of the organization, we will be based on the new barracks, and at the same time, in order to reduce the geographical friction between the troops, each regiment, each division will have a different number of soldiers from other provinces to join, I hope that the officers can control the soldiers well, do not let them make trouble, especially those squad and platoon leaders, this time they have a heavy responsibility. Wang Lin nodded, now that he came here, Wang Lin planned to tell the reorganization plan together, and now the relationship between Russia and Russia is becoming more and more tense, with the slow recovery of the fleet, although the number of warships is not much, but after these years, hundreds of thousands of troops have been slowly sent to North Korea.

Wang Lin's current idea is to completely unify China before the outbreak of the Russo-Russian War, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, the country has not yet been unified, and Russia is fighting a war in the northeast, and at that time the large army will definitely be unable to govern, although Wang Lin has prepared a backhand, but that is not the result Wang Lin wants.

"Next, I will tell you the number of each army and the list of army commanders, and the list of division commanders will be told to you later by Vice Commander Tang." Wang Lin paused and continued: "Chen Mingjie, the commander of the new 18th Army, the troops are stationed in Jiangxi. Zhang Qiming, commander of the 19th Army, was stationed in Sichuan. He Bin, commander of the 20th Army, was stationed in Sichuan. Yang Qiudao, commander of the 21st Army, was stationed in Sichuan. Ling Hao, commander of the 34th Army, was stationed in Fujian. The commander of the 36th Army, Ren Ai, was stationed in Guizhou. Liu Minghan, commander of the 39th Army, was stationed in Guangdong. Lu Qiuming, commander of the 42nd Army, was stationed in Yunnan. Liu Wei, commander of the 45th Army, is stationed in Hunan, and Yang Yusheng, commander of the 46th Army, is stationed in Hunan. In addition, Hao An'an, commander-in-chief of the military police, said that nine military police brigades will be stationed in various armies in regimental units. Wang Lin read out the numbers of the various armies and the list of army commanders arranged in advance.

After arranging these things, Wang Lin explained some other things, such as officers at all levels should control the squad and platoon commanders, prohibit bullying and oppression of recruits, and so on, and those who violate the regulations will be dealt with by the military police unit with full authority.

Finally, at the meeting, everyone discussed the ownership of the title of the Hainan Army, and finally unanimously decided to adopt the Zhengnan Army as the temporary general title of the army. In the following days, the activity of various units soared suddenly, and various units often appeared on various streets, and some people who were not too stupid saw the Hainan Army moving troops so frequently, and they also roughly guessed the reason.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was far away in Yanjing, still consumed unabated, urging her to train the army quickly, while enjoying her fairyland-like life on earth. The war between the Hainan Army and the Qing court can be described as imminent.
