Chapter 631: A Call from the United States

…… In the midst of the jokes, the new military reform from 1920 fell to the end. Yang Qiu also made a promise to increase military spending and strengthen military equipment and training, paving the way for himself to come to power next year.

After the end of the reform, the multi-layered and complicated command system of division-administered brigades and brigade-administered regiments was abolished, and the vertical command structure of division-administered regiments, which was common in later generations, was adopted, and the system of large battalions and two regiments was adopted. The army has a total of 32 infantry divisions, 8 armored brigades, 4 infantry divisions, 4 central guard divisions and 3 independent brigades operating in special terrain. The Air Force has 22 wings and 2 airborne brigades, and the Navy has 2 fleets and 3 Marine brigades. Although the strength was increased again, the total strength of the command structure increased only slightly, to 1.55 million. The establishment of a new Chapter 631 U.S. force with airborne brigades, mechanized infantry divisions, and additional marines is not a whim, but has deeper geopolitical turmoil considerations. There are crises in Saudi Arabia, India, the South Seas, Afghanistan, and other regions, and he needs a rapid intervention force in the palm of his hand, and these lightly armed forces can ensure rapid intervention in the event of a crisis.

As for the appearance of the "Blue Army", he glanced at the happy senior officers, and his lips quietly hooked. These guys obviously don't understand what's going on, and when the Blue Sword Brigade is formed, it is estimated that they will cry once they see a donation box.

Because he has not been busy with business recently, after the drive, he inquired about the situation in Afghanistan and India and other places, and then took Lei Meng home in the car. Although the central government in Nanjing had not yet officially moved, Miao Luo decided to move his family first after discussing with him. The new home is located outside Xizhimen and is a white European-style detached villa. Considering that the weather in the north is colder. A heating boiler was installed to keep the house warm even in the coldest weather.

Before the car arrived at the door, Yang Qiu saw a black sedan parked at the door from a distance, and a luxurious woman in a thick mink coat was saying goodbye to Lu Bicheng. Seeing the woman, he frowned slightly, because this woman was the new wife of the current secretary of the Prime Minister's Office Chapter 631 who called Gu Weijun from the United States, named Huang Huilan.

This Mrs. Gu has a very good background, and her father is the richest Chinese on Java. Monopolized the sugar industry throughout the island of Java. After the East India riots withdrew to the West Borneo Free Trade Zone with his family wealth, he not only donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the free trade zone for the construction of the police force, but also donated a large amount of food and medicine to the Natuna base. In the end, he took advantage of the spring breeze of the construction of the free zone to buy tens of thousands of acres of wasteland to grow sugar beets in one go. The largest sugar factory in the region, and still controlling most of the Java sugar industry, has skyrocketed in value.

In the past, because of his mother, Huang Huilan did not have a good relationship with his father. But as the son-in-law's career and status rose steadily, the relationship between father and daughter was restored. And this "enthusiastic" father-in-law also went up and down to build momentum for his son-in-law. Huang Huilan herself spent 400,000 yuan after returning to China last year to buy Chen Yuanyuan's former residence as a mansion, so that the names of Gu Weijun and Huang Huilan resounded in Beijing and Tianjin overnight.

Yang Qiu is the leader of the country, and the three wives are also frequent visitors to the social circle. Miao Luo, who is about to become the first lady, is now enthusiastic about education and women's rights, although Rui Yao lives in a simple house, the education of several children depends on her, as for Lu Bicheng, she is recognized as the "boss lady", Wuzhou Shipping, Huachen Petroleum, Gulf Oil, Hanyang, Chongqing and Jiangnan and other Yang enterprises are managed by her, so it is not unusual to know Huang Huilan.

What made him frown was that at this delicate moment, Huang Huilan suddenly came to visit, obviously because he was drunk and not drinking.

When the car arrives at the door. Lu Bicheng had already turned his head to catch up. After Yang Qiu got out of the car, he deliberately looked at Huang Huilan's car and asked, "I saw Gu Weijun's wife just now, you invited her?" ”

"Do you still need me to ask for it?" After Lu Bicheng untied his coat for Yang Qiu and hung it up, he turned his head and said, "Now there are rumors outside that you will let someone form a cabinet to be the prime minister, and this lady will come to the door." ”

After marrying Yang Qiu, Lu Cainu completely transformed into the boss lady behind the scenes. Not only is he capable of doing things, but his gestures are even more amorous, obviously in a complaining tone, which makes Yang Qiu feel like he is coquettish, and stretches out his hand while smiling: "Really?" Let me see if Madame has been hurt. ”

"Go. The kids are outside. Lu Bicheng hurriedly slapped away his strange hand and saw Rui Yao taking the children to clean up the table and do some housework within his ability. Only then did he say: "Chenhua, how are you going to arrange this?" Yesterday, Luo'er came back and said that she met Yan Xishan when she came back from Nanjing by plane, and she also knocked on the side to ask about it. ”

Yang Qiu frowned and did not speak.

After the constitutional amendment and the presidential system were amended the year before last, the cabinet had a total of 15 important positions, namely the prime minister, the Ministry of National Defense, the chief of the general staff, the Ministry of Education, the independent official, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, the governor of the Central Bank, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Communications (including railways), the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Ministry of Health. These departments are subdivided into dozens of small departments, such as the National Guard, the Strategic Intelligence Bureau, the Security Bureau, the Customs, the Police, the Taxation, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Auditing, and the Water and Soil Environment.

What's more, because Zhan Tianyou took the lead in resigning after the constitutional amendment, Lu Zhengxiang also resigned as foreign minister because of his wife's illness, and was replaced by a minister to Belgium, taking care of Mrs. Peide, who returned to Europe to recuperate. A few things seem to be unrelated, but they are undoubtedly telling others that as the time for Li Yuanhong to end his term of office is getting closer and closer, those "Xinhai meritorious deeds" will gradually withdraw from the domestic political arena, and who can form a cabinet during Yang Qiu's first term will undoubtedly greatly strengthen his position in the political circle of the Republic of China.

Wang Zhengting, Chen Guofu, Gu Weijun, Murong Han, Shi Zhaoji, Dong Yongwei, Kuang Xukun, Wang Chonghui, Wei Chengu, Zeng Qi, etc., who have been promoted by Yang Qiu over the years, and are known as the pillars of the younger generation of the National Society, how to arrange the political rising stars, there are also different opinions and speculations.

Needless to say, the military will not make a big deal even in order to stabilize the first term, so the most fierce competition is the prime minister. At present, the first cabinet is the most vocal Gu Weijun, Wang Zhengting and Murong Han. Needless to say, Gu Weijun is diplomatically talented and advocates Europe and the United States, which is very suitable for Yang Qiu's industrial and commercial route. Wang Zhengting was one of the first backbones to follow Yang Qiu, and presided over the signing of the "Plum Blossom Convention" that sent troops to France to reverse the national fortune, which made him famous in Europe and the United States. Although Murong Han is not as well-known in the international community, the ability and courage shown in events such as Henan land reform and northwest military management are incomparable to those of the first two, and he is radical in his thinking, believing that military and national education should be strengthened, so that more people can unite around Yang Qiu and Guoshe, so it is more in line with the appetite of young people, and his long-term work in China has made many people think that he knows how to deal with domestic affairs better than the first two, so he is also very loud.

Yang Qiu didn't want to solve this mystery too early, but he didn't expect this Huang Huilan to even use the pillow wind, so he took a deep breath and turned his head and asked, "What did she just say?" ”

Lu Bicheng knows that he has been thinking about the cabinet list after becoming president recently, and it is not easy to ensure a balance between taking care of the old meritorious ministers and satisfying the young people who have followed him to this day. So he said softly: "Mrs. Gu is also a smart person, how could she ask directly." She just came to Luo'er, hoping to fund Peking University and Tsinghua University in the name of Gu Weijun, and also to open a few schools in her hometown in Guangzhou. In addition, his father also wanted to get the mining rights of two coal mines in West Borneo, so I asked her to find a way to talk to the autonomous region, and she also promised to provide 20,000 tons of high-quality coal to the Natuna base every month after mining. ”

"I have fame and fortune, but I have a good calculation." Yang Qiu smiled coldly. Although he felt that Gu Weijun was good, it didn't mean that he liked this way, so he turned around and said, "Lei Meng, send a telegram to the prime minister." At the beginning of next month, Ba Yuzao and they will organize people to go to France to participate in the Schneider Air Show, which is related to whether China's aircraft can open up the international market, Gu Weijun is familiar with France and asks him to be responsible. In addition, the Admiralty will visit France next month to discuss procurement and let him participate in the negotiations. ”

It's an airplane and a navy, which is equivalent to letting Gu Weijun out of the domestic political circle for several months. Lu Bicheng blinked, and after Lei Meng left, he asked, "Chenhua, do you want him to leave temporarily, or not." Before she finished speaking, Rui Yao walked in: "Chenhua, Sister Qing." After eating, I'll talk about what I'll talk about later. ”

"Let's go."

Yang Qiu didn't want to talk about this matter too early, the following disputes were obvious, so sending Gu Weijun away at this time was not only a warning, but also to let those officials who peeked into the cabinet position understand that it was not their turn to point fingers in this matter.

After the three of them walked into the restaurant, Miao Luo also happened to walk downstairs. Now the Yang family is already prosperous, and the ladies gave birth to three boys, two girls and five children for him, the eldest Yang Tianlei is 15 years old, and the youngest daughter Yang Siyu, who is only 2 years old, was born to Lu Bicheng the year before last.

Yang Qiu also seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, picked up his little daughter and kissed him, and just sat down, when there was a sudden sound of brakes outside.

Miao Luo, who was just about to sit down, heard the voice and immediately walked towards the door, and just after walking a few steps, he saw Yan Yuqiu walking in in a hurry, I don't know if he was in a hurry, and his cheeks were a little messy.

The picture of Yang Qiu holding her daughter and her wife beside her made Yan Yuqiu slightly stunned, and her heart was like a crying date. Miao Luo was the most careful, and when he saw his hesitant look, he knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly asked first: "Yuqiu, is there something wrong?" ”

The words made Yan Yuqiu wake up suddenly, and while his fingers were hooking his messy hair, he took out the telegram he brought: "It was sent from the United States, Pei Zuyi said that this matter is urgent, and I want you to reply as soon as possible." "From Bei Zuyi?! When Yang Qiu heard this, he suddenly got up, and hurriedly handed his little daughter to Miao Luo, without even explaining, and without thinking about it, he subconsciously took Yan Yuqiu's little hand and hurriedly ran out.

"My hand, you let go." Yan Yuqiu didn't expect Yang Qiu to take the initiative to hold his hand, if he was usually very happy, but now there are three Mrs. Yang behind him, his anxious face blushed and quickly broke free. Yang Qiu still took care of these details at this time, and rushed out of the house without looking back.

Behind him, Lu Bicheng, who saw this scene, pursed the corners of his mouth vigorously, slowly picked up the rice bowl and raised his head and smiled mischievously: "Luo'er, do you want people to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks...... To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )rq!!!
