Among Wang Maoru's personnel arrangements for the Ministry of National Defense, a very important mention is that the military department has six general and two deputy posts, and he himself has three deputy ministers of national defense, Sa Zhenbing, Zhang Zuolin, and Jiang Fangzhen. Among the six general departments of the Ministry of National Defense, Wu Peifu, chief of staff, Ren Yuanxing and He Anding, deputy chiefs of staff, Mi Shaobai, chief of logistics, Zhao Jiacheng and Liu Qingen, vice directors of logistics, Gai Tianjiu, chief of security, Liu Xiang and Luo Hao, chief of military affairs, Zhu Yongquan, chief of military affairs, Xu Youqian and Puding, vice ministers of military affairs, Liu Guanxiong, chief of the coast guard, Ren Guodong and Li Dingxin, vice directors of the coast guard, Lu Rongting, chief of the army aviation, and Luo Haiquan and Li Ruyan, vice directors of the army aviation.

As for upgrading the Coast Guard Headquarters and the Army Aviation Headquarters to the Admiralty and the Air Force, it was suspended under Jiang Fangzhen's exhortation, because the Ministry of National Defense should not be tempted at this time, because China has already been targeted by the great powers because of the closure of the customs, and if the navy is established at this time, it may cause a siege by the great powers. The upgrade of the Air Force Department is entirely due to the fact that the hardware is not enough to pass the test, and the aircraft technology is limited.

After Wang Maoru's personnel adjustment of the Ministry of National Defense, the powers of the heads of various departments have been further constrained and controlled, and the dual deputy post model will also become the standard model of the Ministry of Defense and even other departments in the future.

After stabilizing the personnel of the Ministry of National Defense, a meeting of the National Defense Strategic Research Group was held, at which Wang Maoru named Beiyang veteran Sa Zhenbing as his first deputy and took over the post of chief national defense after Wang Maoru's resignation. Wang Maoru is going to run for the presidency in the military, and everyone knows it, and no one opposes it at this time, and the strategic research group is held by 18 government heads of six departments and three vice ministers of national defense, and after Wang Maoru's resignation, Sa Zhenbing took over the post of chief defense minister. It is also automatically removed from the Strategic Research Group. The original intention of the establishment of the National Defense Strategy Research Group was to prevent the defense minister from exercising too much power and to review and terminate the defense minister's decision. The leaders of the three-person team were Sa Zhenbing, Jiang Fangzhen, and Mi Shaobai. After Sa Zhenbing left, Zhang Zuolin took over Sa Zhenbing's position and became the new team leader.

After the meeting, Ren Yuanxing, deputy chief of staff, reported to Wang Maoru that preparations had been made for the trial reform of the national defense forces, that is, the reform of the military system of the Ghost Car Corps of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Military Region, and that the new military structure would be based on the standards of divisions A and B, as well as special divisions. The Ghost Car Regiment will become the Eighth Army, and its name will remain unchanged. The military region is still stationed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang region, defending the capital and its surroundings. The Eighth Army has 22 (A) Infantry Division, 23 (A) Infantry Division, and 24 (A) Infantry Division. The 8th Armored Division, the 2nd Airborne Division, and the 53rd (Type B) Infantry Division are formed, of which the Armored Division and the Airborne Division have only one name for the time being. At this stage, the equipment is only infantry equipment. According to Wang Maoru's requirements, the entire Eighth Group Army's ghost car corps will be composed of 30 regiments including logistics personnel with a total of 70,000 people after the restructuring.

The supreme military commander of the Eighth Group Army is still called the corps commander, with Wang Qiyuan as the commander, and the corps deputy commanders are Li Qingyi and Guo Buluo. Rong Hai is composed of two people, and these three people are Wang Maoru's absolute henchmen, which can be seen. Among the garrison troops stationed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang region, there will never be a careerist like Feng Yuxiang again. Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army, Han Linchun. Although Xue Jianxun, the deputy chief of staff, and others were not Wang Maoru's absolute confidants, there was no need to doubt their loyalty after following Wang Maoru before and after he saddled his horse.

As a result of the abolition of the brigade level as a transitional unit, the division commanders and deputy division commanders of the former divisions and regiments will serve as heads of various departments of the group army one after another, most of them will serve as deputy commanders of the corps, and a small number will serve as the chief of military affairs and chief of staff of the corps. It can be said that although these former division commanders no longer directly command the army, as a group army, they can still assist the corps commander in commanding operations, and their military ranks have been promoted by one level, and Wang Maoru has not treated them badly.

Wang Maoru saw that the composition of personnel and the distribution of troops were reasonable and in place, but there was a lack of equipment, which needed to be gradually improved, so he waved his pen and asked the Ghost Car Regiment to carry out a pilot military reform.

Subsequently, the Mao Ziping Division of the Suzaku Regiment of the Fifth Army Corps stationed in Jilin, Liaoning Province, also applied for military reform, because they were facing the dual pressure of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Japanese Korean Army, Wang Maoru considered that the reform of the ministry was very important, and in the future China and Japan may have a misfire, and the earlier the military reform of the Suzaku Legion, the more comfortable this part will be in the future.

Under the auspices of Ren Yuanxing, the Fifth Army was established on the basis of the Fifth Army Corps, whose full name was the Suzaku Regiment of the Fifth Army, which was composed of the 13th (Type A) Infantry Division, the 14th (Type A) Infantry Division, the 15th (Type A) Infantry Division, the 4th Armored Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, and the 48th (Type B) Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions, 30 regiments, and 70,000 people. The special division of the Fifth Army only has the equipment of the cavalry division that can be put in place in one step, and there was originally a cavalry division, but after this time it was replaced by a special division, it was necessary to dismantle nearly a thousand war horses. Mao Ziping couldn't bear to let these war horses be sold to become horses, so he gave a part of them to various infantry divisions and used them as reconnaissance. In the snowy Northeast region, war horses are much better than cars

Wang Maoru rejected the applications of other corps, and replied to the message that the two corps were only trying to restructure the system, and blindly expanding and speeding up the reform of the military system would inevitably trigger adverse reactions from the national defense forces, and they would find deficiencies in the trial restructuring and improve them. Wang Maoru gave Ren Yuanxing full authority to be responsible for the reform of the military system, which shows his attitude of entrusting him with important tasks.

On the other hand, as the anti-epidemic war has entered the third stage, the Minister of Health Wang Maoru announced that the temporary Ministry of Health will be disbanded soon, and the task of sweeping up the anti-epidemic war will be handed over to the provincial health departments to supervise and co-organize, especially the five provinces of Liaoning, Zhili, Shandong, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, which still have epidemics.

China also announced that it would lift the lockdown and fully restore the right of citizens to move freely.

Of course, it's time, and now the Chinese people have begun to harvest in full swing. The agricultural machinery ordered from Japan also arrived in China, and began to harvest on the northern plains first, especially the large landlord farms, which were not only convenient and fast to harvest crops with agricultural harvesting technology, but also saved money, which made the big landlords see the benefits of agricultural modernization. The downside, however, is that a large number of tenant farmers have been evicted from their farms, and with machinery, the role of tenant farmers seems to have been much smaller. The wealthy landlords themselves took the initiative to buy machinery such as tractors and harvesters, which was enough to cover the workload of twenty strong laborers, and they only ate diesel fuel and never complained about their hard work.

Therefore, a large number of affluent laborers were gradually produced in various places, and Lin Jiwen, the acting chief of agriculture and forestry, immediately reported to Premier Tang Shaoyi, who immediately consulted with Wang Maoru, who smiled and said: "This is easy to do, build roads." ”

"Railroad?"

"No, build roads, build sand and gravel official roads." Wang Maoru said, "Four lanes are built between provinces, that is, 17-meter-wide official roads, 13-meter-wide official roads are built between counties, and 10-meter-wide official roads are built between towns." Where there are abundant laborers, the official roads will be built first. ”

"But where does the money come from?"

"Whoever uses official roads to facilitate will pay the money."

"Reply to the centi?" Tang Shaoyi exclaimed: "It's not proper, it's not proper, after the reunification of the country, the centigold has been gradually abolished, and now it is common throughout the country, how can there be a reason to collect centigold." The resumptuous restoration of gold will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "Your Excellency, wait, listen to me, the official road was built because of the surplus labor in some parts of the country, and the surplus labor force is because of the agricultural modernization guide, and the mechanical transportation of agricultural modernization must be transported by the official road, right?" Since it is transported by the official road, the vehicle driving on the official road will have to pay the official road maintenance fee. Those who can afford machinery and vehicles are rich families, and a single hair plucked from the rich family is worth the tax increase of a hundred poor people, so why bother the poor people. ”

Tang Shaoyi frowned and said, "It's still inappropriate, it's inappropriate." This move is bound to cause dissatisfaction among many landlords and gentry, who believe that they are competing with the people for profit. ”

"Competing with the people? It is not the government that competes with the people, but these gentry, rest assured, although it will be difficult at the beginning, as long as our policy remains unchanged, our confidence is not wavered, we do not listen to the wind and rain, and retreat when there is pressure, this matter will definitely be done. Not only agricultural vehicles have to pay, but also cars and trucks. Wang Maoru said, "All vehicles in the country, government buses, and civilian vehicles must pay pipeline maintenance fees." Except for military vehicles, which are not subject to payment, any vehicle with four wheels must be paid. ”

Although Tang Shaoyi did not very much agree with Wang Maoru's work to solve the problem of surplus labor, he really couldn't think of other ways to increase employment to solve the work problem of these people, after all, these farmers did not know anything but farming. Now that the camp is in autumn, it is not conducive to immigrating to the north, and the people themselves have some resistance to the immigration.

On October 20, the twelfth year of the Republic of China, Wang Maoru, the interim minister of health, announced the dissolution of the Ministry of Health and Epidemic Prevention, and he would continue to serve as the minister of defense and no longer participate in politics. In this regard, major newspapers spoke highly of Wang Maoru, believing that Wang Maoru was a person who did not lust for power, and that Wang Maoru would never be a dictator if he became president.

"The most suitable person to be president in our hearts" -- said Yenching Daily.

"The victory of the anti-epidemic and the start of the general election, who will run for president? -- Shanghai Daily.

"Except for Wang Shangwu, we don't recognize anyone" - Jilin Times

"The President in Your Mind Is ......" -- Wuhan Daily

Wang Maoru looked at the newspaper, couldn't help but be happy, and said to himself: "How can the content of this newspaper be the same as the little fat king in later generations, "We will die without you" has come out. He then called the Minister of Culture, Li Ziwen, and said: "I know you want to create a public opinion effect for me, but you make me feel embarrassed to do so." Li Ziwen immediately admitted his mistake and said: "Generalissimo, don't worry, next time I will pay attention to the words I must pay attention to." ”

After Wang Maoru's advice, the Ministry of Culture's requirements for newspapers have changed a little, and they are no longer so disgusting and naked, and Wang Maoru is very helpless about this. On the one hand, he accused the media of public opinion out of his own needs, and on the other hand, he was afraid that foreign spies, especially those of Japan, Britain, and Soviet Russia -- Soviet Russian spies were especially strict -- would use domestic newspapers, radio stations, and other media to interfere with the Chinese people, sow discord between ethnic and class contradictions in the country, and cause China to be artificially divided. But the media also has this kind of drawback, just like what the newspapers said in the past few days, it has become a personal show of Wang Maoru.
