According to Mr. Nakayama's instructions, the next stage of the General Staff Department's work was to prepare for the establishment of a military academy. Speaking of military schools, Luo Yaoguo's mind naturally flashed the golden signboard of the Whampoa Military Academy. According to the idea put forward by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, there will be four military academies under the Army Education Supervision Commission, of which the Army Military Academy is the historical Whampoa Military Academy, and the Lu Elementary School and the Army Aviation will not be able to open them for the time being, and the Northwest Military and Political School will be jointly run by the two parties.

The principal of the Army Military Academy was naturally booked by Principal Jiang, who liked to be the principal very much, and the vice principal and chief military instructor were all stuffed to Luo Yaoguo. The director of the Political Department and the chief political instructor gave Dai Jitao, a friend of Chiang Kai-shek, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the party representative of the Military Academy, appointed Liao Zhongkai.

Luo Yaoguo, the chief military instructor, has four subordinate sections: artillery, infantry, engineering, and baggage. The director of the artillery department is concurrently served by artillery commander Qian Dajun, and the deputy director is Huang Chengxi, who graduated from the third phase of the artillery department in Baoding. The director of the step section is concurrently served by Bai Chongxi, and the deputy director is Zhao Xiangru, who graduated from the Shaoguan Dian Military Lecture Hall. The director of the engineering department is Deng Yanda, the commander of the engineering department, and the deputy director is Wu Han, who graduated from the Army University. The director of the baggage section is Luo Yaoguo's uncle, and Luo Yiqun, the new commander-in-chief of joint logistics, is concurrently, and the deputy director is Yu Feipeng, who graduated from the Yanjing Military Quartermaster School. The instructors include Wang Maogong, Wang Jun, Fang Dingying, Zhang Zhizhong, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Jiji, Yao Cong, Lin Xunnan, and others.

This Whampoa is a little different from the Whampoa of another time and space, it has become a military academy of the Kuomintang from the beginning, rather than a joint venture between the two parties. In addition, the Huangpu school funds are also relatively sufficient, and the enrollment scale is also greater than the other, the enrollment scale of the first phase is as high as 800 people, and the first phase will set up four sections: infantry, artillery, engineering, and baggage, of which 400 students will be enrolled in the infantry department, 200 people will be enrolled in the artillery department, and 100 will be each in the engineering and engineering departments.

The location of the military academy is still in the former Whampoa Army Primary School and Naval School on Cheung Chau Island, because it was previously used as the military headquarters of the Third Army of the Guangdong Army, and the Guangdong Eighth Division was also stationed nearby, so the school building and area of this Whampoa Military Academy are larger than the original one.

On August 1, 1923, the Preparatory Committee for the Army Military Academy was formally established. According to the plan, the enrollment work should be completed by December 1923, and the school should be opened within 23 years, and in October 1924, the first batch of cadets will all graduate and be assigned to various units, and according to the estimation of the General Staff, the second war between the direct line of the Beiyang warlords and the Feng family will begin.

At the same time as the Whampoa Military Academy, there is also a Northwest Military and Political Cadres School, which will train cadres for the bipartisan military program in the northwest. Luo Yaoguo is also a member of the preparatory committee of this school, the principal of the Northwest Military and Political School will be concurrently served by Mao Zd, the vice principal will be Zhang Tailei, the military instructors will be General Pavlov, General Galen and other Soviet and Russian military advisers, the political instructors will be mostly GCD people, and the funds for running the school will use Russian aid. Since the main instructors and principals of this school have not yet arrived, and Vice Principal Zhang does not understand military affairs, Luo Yaoguo also took on the task of preparing for this military and political school.

Luo Yaoguo plans to run the Northwest Military and Political School for six months, which will also start in December and graduate in May of the following year. After graduating from the first phase, the cadets and instructors will infiltrate northern Shaanxi in batches to join the planned Northwest New Army. The Northwest Military and Political School will recruit 150 cadets. Among them, 120 are not divided into departments, and 30 are in the artillery department. The Northwest Military and Political School has chosen to occupy more than 10 barracks in the Beiguan camp in Guangzhou.

The enrollment of students at the Whampoa Military Academy and the Northwest Military and Political School will be carried out at the same time, and the branches of the Kuomintang and the GCD Party throughout the country will make every effort to mobilize young people to go south to apply for the two military academies. The first round of preliminary examinations will be held in Kuomintang branches in various places, and the students who pass the preliminary examination will then go south to Guangdong to take the second examination. The subjects of the re-examination are mainly written and oral, the written test tests mathematics, geography, history and composition, and the oral test is asked by the instructor of the military academy and the students answer.

"Chiang Kai-shek, the principal, is easy! actually started to be a shopkeeper! Luo Yaoguo, who was burying his head in compiling textbooks for Huangpu, slandered: "Oh my God! Who did my diploma in pastry offend! Why do I have to do all the textbooks for step, gun, and engineering alone? Is there any mistake? Alas, I wiped my tears and continued to work hard, this textbook I had in my head, and when God arranged for me to be reborn, I copied all the textbooks of West Point into my head. There's even engineering, history, sports, and so many other extraneous things. But West Point is a four-year course, and the study load is quite heavy, so heavy that General Patton has repeated the grade! But the first phase of Whampoa is only 10 months! In another time and space, there were only 6 months, and the actual class was less than 5 months, so Luo Yaoguo had to find a way to let these students master enough military knowledge in 10 months, so he had to rewrite it day and night, and he couldn't copy West Point.

"Report, Mr. Hans of Lu Lin Foreign Company asks to see you." Adjutant Luo Shun's voice came from outside the door.

"Ask him to come in." Luo Yaoguo put down his pen and stretched his muscles, and stood up to greet the big German manager.

Lu Lin is a German trading company, behind which there are large conglomerates such as Krupp and Rheinmetall. Recently, this foreign bank has been very close to the Kuomintang, and it is estimated that it wants to get an order for equipment from the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant. And Luo Yaoguo also happened to ask them to import some contraband from Germany, so he hooked up with this Hans.

"Hello, General, the things you entrusted to me have been completed, the goods have been shipped from Istanbul and will arrive next month." Mr. Hans seemed to be a little overexcited today, and gave Luo Yaoguo a bear hug as soon as he entered the door.

Luo Yaoguo was a little embarrassed and gently pushed away this old German man with a scruffy beard, uh, I'm handsome and chic, but it won't arouse the interest of this bald old man with a long beard, right?

"Thank you for your help, please sit down, and see what kind of joy you have in this way?" Luo Yaoguo felt that the transaction of a 105mm howitzer and a set of German sound test equipment would not make this old man so excited, could it be that he fell in love with Natalie? This is not negotiable, our friendship has not yet reached this level.

"No, no, no, it's not that I'm happy, it's you who are happy." Hans's Chinese seems to be a bit half-hung.

"Uh-huh." What words? Pregnant? Luo Yaoguo touched the strong muscles in his abdomen, and found no signs of pregnancy. "Mr. Hans, are you saying that something good is coming to us?"

"A good thing, a very good thing." Hans stretched out his thumb and gestured in front of Luo Yaoguo. "General, this is a beautiful thing that you can't refuse, it is about the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant, and Krupp and Rheinmetall are willing to provide you with a semi-new electric furnace, a new sintering furnace and a semi-new 3,000-ton extruder." Semi-new means old, that is, what is left over from Krupp and Rheinland.

"Oh, how much does it cost?" The old ones are the old ones, as long as they can be used, and now the Kuomintang is also in difficulty here. Luo Yaoguo made up his mind and asked with a smile about the price of the old goods.

Hans grinned and showed a sincere smile: "No, no, no money, this is a gift from Krupp and Rheinland for the sake of Sino-German friendship, not only do they not need money, they will also send engineers to help you follow and debug the equipment, so as to ensure that they can play their normal efficiency." ”

The things in this world that don't need money are often more expensive than those that ask for money. If these pieces of equipment are new, at least tens of millions of gold marks, now there are actually Jianshang sent to the door in vain, and the installation package is debugged, is it necessary to provide the smelting process for free, and finally underwrite the product? really guessed correctly for Luo Yaoguo.

"Dear general, Krupp and Rheinland can also underwrite some products of Shaoguan Iron and Steel Company, which require some special steel." And then Hans said a whole bunch of technical terms, well, generally a Chinese barbaric warlord would not understand, but there are always exceptions.

"So you want tungsten carbide and high manganese steel? Okay, I can help with that, but it's not enough for you to just give these things. We also need mining and beneficiation equipment, we need mining engineers, and you also need to help us design a 75mm mountain gun, a 105mm howitzer, a 150mm howitzer, well, a 70mm infantry gun. I'll provide you with the technical requirements later. There is a Shilu iron mine on Hainan Island, and I hope that we can jointly develop and build a steel plant with an annual output of 200,000 tons in Shilu, where we will contribute resources and you will contribute equipment and technology, and both sides will hold 50% of the shares, and the products produced will be sold in Asia under the Krupp brand. If you can agree to these conditions, I can convince Mr. Zhongshan to cooperate, and Mr. Zhongshan will arrange a special person to negotiate the specific treaty, after all, I am not a business student. "It seems that West Point still has the nickname of West Point Business School? Anyway, Luo Yaoguo thinks he is quite good at business.

"I can make my own decisions on these conditions, and I hope to start negotiations as soon as possible, and Lu Lin has already received carte blanche from Krupp and Rheinland." Hans thought for a while, and then agreed to Luo Yaoguo's conditions, but the Annihilator who completed the transaction showed no signs of leaving, and there seemed to be something else.
