Chapter 277 - Handling Military Affairs
After being promoted to the co-ordination, Xiao Zhenlei felt that there was no one around him to use, so he could only transfer Song Shijie to the 23rd Mixed Co-ordination Department as the deputy co-commander and director of the quartermaster department.
Xiao Zhenlei took a turn around the Ministry of Coordination and found that although the cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, and baggage battalion of the troops directly under the Ministry of Cooperation were not yet fully established, they were almost ready, and if the cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, and baggage battalion of the 46 standard were transferred, it would be just right to make these units directly under the Ministry of Cooperation fully staffed.
On this day, Xiao Zhenlei convened a meeting at or above the officer level of the all-association battalion, and the commander of the cavalry company, the engineer company, and the commander of the baggage company directly under the 46th standard were also notified to come to the meeting.
At this meeting, Xiao Zhenlei's purpose was mainly to improve the establishment of the cooperation department, until now, the cooperation department has only three or two kittens, the establishment of the 45 standard is still six or seven hundred people short of full staff, and even the cooperation department has not even established a field hospital, which is absolutely not good.
A long signal sounded at the door of the conference room, and the officers who had come from the 46th standard fought neatly, and the staff officer Jin Yunlu, the 45th standard commander Liu Zhijie, and the instructor Zhu Xi were stunned for a while, and then they also reacted and stood up.
Xiao Zhenlei saw that there was a commotion in the conference room, he didn't stand up neatly, and his face was a little unsightly, he walked to the top and said in a deep voice: "Many people here are from military academies, and they should understand that ordering and prohibiting is something that soldiers must do." Everyone stood up and shouted for a few seconds just now, why are there still sparse people who refuse to get up? Do you want me to come to you? ”
As soon as Xiao Zhenlei came, he gave Jin Yunling, Liu Zhijie, Zhu Xi and others a dismissal. These people were reprimanded by Xiao Zhenlei and lowered their heads a little ashamed.
Xiao Zhenlei looked left and right, ho. The one who was transferred from the forty-sixth standard sat on one side, and the forty-fifth standard sat on the other side, and the distinction was quite clear, and he immediately pointed it out: "Look, see for yourself, this co-ordinator has just arrived, and you people are busy pulling mountains and dividing factions, what do you want to do?" I heard it all, and sat down in order of rank. Velocity! ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly got up and looked for their own positions, and after a while, the conference room was quiet again, and at this time, it was seen that the opposing camps just now had all been disrupted.
Xiao Zhenlei was much more satisfied, and said: "I'm not targeting anyone, I just want all of you to remember, what do soldiers do?" Soldiers are not civil officials and politicians, and soldiers don't need to calculate this and that all day long. Your duty is to bring good soldiers and train them well, and you don't need to worry about military salaries, weapons, ammunition, equipment, etc., and I, the commander, will solve it for you, once the war breaks out. You must be able to pull out to fight and win battles, as the saying goes, raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. If you do a good job in these areas, the commander will naturally promote you. If you have the ability, the chief will naturally not forget you. If you are cheating and playing tricks, you can't lead the soldiers well, and you only know how to get promoted and get rich in the camp all day long, maybe you can in other armies, but not here, if there is a person with this kind of mind, the association advises him to hand in the resignation letter and leave here, so as not to fall into the hands of the association in the future because of the crime and there is no good fruit to eat, and there is another point, the association must solemnly put it forward, and after the meeting is dismissed, it must be notified, if anyone in the whole association sucks crows? Piece, quit from now on, if you think you can't quit, then he'd better leave quickly, once discovered, it's not just as simple as driving out of the barracks, catch one and kill the other, no mercy, you want to smoke it, go outside to smoke, don't smoke in Lao Tzu's barracks! ”
Xiao Zhenlei specifically proposes to smoke crows here? Pieces of things are not without reason, despite the fact that the international trade in opium has been explicitly banned? Piece, but now crow? The film is still prevalent, and there are many people in the army of the Qing court, whether it is the patrol battalion, the Eight Banners, or the new army, who smoke crows? film, many of the officers in the new army were drawn from the old army, and when these people came, they naturally smoked crows? The habit of the film was brought over, and even other people who didn't smoke it were sucked with it, and even some revolutionaries in the new army smoked this thing, which can only be said to be too terrible, and it must be banned by strict means to completely eradicate crows? Tablets circulated in the army.
The murderous words made many people in the conference room silent, the officers of the 46th standard all sat calmly, and a few people in the 45th standard were covered in cold sweat, obviously Xiao Zhenlei's words just now hit the sore spot of some people.
Xiao Zhenlei continued: "It has been more than a year since the 23rd Mixed Association of our New Army was formed, and until now, the Association Department has still not been perfected. Liu Biaotong, you sue me! ”
Liu Zhijie stood up and said loudly: "Report to the chief, there are six hundred and twenty-four people, sir, the report is over!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei looked at Song Shijie and said: "Director Song, there are still 624 people left in the 45th standard, after you end the meeting, you will find a way to recruit 624 people for him, and I will be fully reorganized in the 45th standard within three days, is there a problem?" ”
"No problem!" Song Shijie agreed.
"Liu Biaotong, do you have any opinions?"
"No, sir!"
"Good!" Xiao Zhenlei nodded, remembering that he hadn't been introduced yet, so he said: "Oh, I almost forgot, this is Song Shijie, the deputy co-commander of our 23rd Mixed Association, who I invited to assist me in handling military affairs, in addition to being the deputy co-commander, he also serves as the director of the Quartermaster Department, and the original Quartermaster Department was changed to the Quartermaster Department, which is managed by Song Shijie, everyone is welcome."
There was a burst of applause, Song Shijie stood up and saluted everyone, although the posture was a little substandard, but it was still qualified.
Xiao Zhenlei said again: "The first thing we want to talk about today is to change the appearance of the Co-ordination, the title of the Co-ordination Department is changed to the Co-Headquarters, and the station is located here, together with the 45th standard, the Co-Headquarters has the staff section, intelligence department, quartermaster department, administrative comprehensive section, guard battalion, military police brigade, cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, baggage battalion, infantry 45th and 46th standard, artillery battalion, field hospital, etc., is Jin Yunju here?" ”
"In!" Jin Yunlang stood up and said.
Xiao Zhenlei frowned and said, "To answer the question, you have to call the chief!" ”
"Yes. Sir! ”
Xiao Zhenlei said: "You are a staff officer sent from above, and the Twenty-Three Mixed Formation Association has been established for more than a year. So far, there is only one of you, the staff officer, Commander Guang, in the Ministry of Cooperation, so I think you should have some talent, right? I have three days for you to put up the shelves of the General Staff Section. There is a staff unit in the 46th Standard Department, if you can't find anyone, you can find Cai Biaotong in the 46th Standard and transfer a few people from him, I don't want my co-headquarters staff section to even have no people who can draw combat maps! ”
Jin Yunlu is twenty-nine years old this year, this person has some background, his brother Jin Yunpeng is one of the "Four King Kongs" under Duan Qirui (the other three are Xu Shuzheng, Wu Guangxin, and Fu Liangzuo). He himself was admitted to the Baoding Staff School before. After graduation, he was appointed as the 13th Mixed Staff Officer of the Qingjiangpu Army in Jiangbei, Jiangbei of the Qing Army, and was later transferred to the 23rd Mixed Association as a staff officer.
Jin Yunhe was affected by the atmosphere of the conference room and Xiao Zhen's resolute style. "Yes, sir!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei continued: "I just said that Song Shijie is also the head of the Quartermaster Department, and Ma Xiaoshuang is the head of the Intelligence Section, and he is also the commander of the guard battalion, I don't know how the establishment is established, according to the normal establishment, my co-headquarters only has 28 people, what can these 28 people do?" If the enemy sends a small force to raid my co-headquarters during the war, I, the co-commander, will be defenseless. Therefore, I want to add a guard battalion to ensure the security of the co-headquarters, and I will find a way to spend on military expenses, of course, some people may say that there is no need to form another guard battalion, and a battalion or a company can be directly transferred from the combat unit to protect the co-headquarters. The key point is that the strength of our association itself is not large, so what should we do if the number of troops is insufficient due to the transfer of combat units? There are two benefits to forming a guard battalion. The first is to protect the security of the co-headquarters, and the second is to be able to go up as a reserve when the combat troops are insufficient. I will report this matter to the governor, and if the governor's yamen does not allocate military expenses. I'll figure it out myself. The guard battalion is headed by Ma Xiaoshuang, and the missing part is selected from the two standards!
He Fanghua, who was previously the adjutant of Ai Xietong, has been appointed as the head of the Administrative Comprehensive Section, responsible for some miscellaneous matters in some headquarters.
In addition, there are two most important departments, one of which is the gendarmerie brigade, which itself does not exist, but this gendarmerie brigade must be established, this is a military discipline department, and it is absolutely indispensable; the captain of the gendarmerie brigade was transferred from Feng Dagang, the captain of the 46-standard gendarmerie, and is directly responsible for me; the gendarmerie brigade has two or three squadrons under its jurisdiction, the first squadron is in charge of the military discipline of all departments and units directly under the command, the second squadron is in charge of military discipline under the 45th standard, and the third squadron is in charge of military discipline under 46 standards. The military police squadrons are under the dual control of the gendarmerie brigade and the commanders of the units. Now is the non-war period, if it is wartime, it is necessary to set up a warlord, and withdraw the position without an order, or withdraw without an order during the attack, and the warlord will enforce military law in the back! Feng Dagang, I want you to set up the gendarmerie brigade within half a month, and you will choose the manpower from the two infantry standards, is there a problem? ”
Feng Dagang stood up and said loudly: "No, sir! ”
Xiao Zhenlei continued: "There is another department that is very important, that is, the field hospital, we are the army, soldiers and officers will inevitably be injured and sick in their training in peacetime, especially in wartime, casualties are inevitable after the battle starts, and the absence of doctors and nurses will make our injured soldiers unable to receive timely and effective treatment, and there will be non-combat attrition, so it is necessary to set up a field hospital, Song Shijie, you are temporarily responsible for this matter, send people to find doctors and nurses everywhere, and do your best to establish a field hospital, If others refuse to come, we can invite them to come with a high salary and solve the staffing problem for them! In addition, after the field hospital is set up, it is necessary to have the field hospital train medical personnel for all combat units, and strive to have one medical nurse for each combat squad within one year."
"Yes, sir, I'll try to find a way!" Song Shijie agreed, in fact, the field hospital of the 46th standard is already very perfect, but it is still a little smaller than a association, so he has to continue to find doctors and nurses, and there are also self-trained medical soldiers.
Xiao Zhenlei looked at the progress of the meeting on the table, and continued: "Let's talk about the artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, baggage battalion and other battalions directly under the headquarters. Regardless of whether the standard is exceeded or not, first all of them will be incorporated and then we will talk about it, the original artillery company commander, cavalry company commander, engineer company commander and baggage company commander will be promoted to deputy battalion commander after the merger and assist the current battalion commander in managing the affairs of each battalion. ”
"No, sir!" The people concerned all stood up and agreed in unison.
Xiao Zhenlei looked at Liu Zhijie, the commander of the 45th standard, and Zhu Xi, the coach, and said: "Liu Biaotong, Instructor Zhu, tomorrow I want to see the drill of your military training subject, you make preparations, don't mess up when the time comes, I don't want to look at the virtual things, show me the real side, I want to know the real training results of your 45 standards!" ”
Liu Zhijie and Zhu Xi stood up at the same time and said, "Yes, sir!" ”
"Okay, the meeting is dismissed, and when I go back, I will do my best to catch up all the work I am responsible for, and if you are short of funds, you can find Song Shijie, and he will solve it for you!"
On the morning of the next day, Xiao Zhenlei and other commanders of the headquarters watched the drills of the 45 standard training subjects on the military platform, and the situation was not very ideal, and it was very different from what Xiao Zhenlei expected.
After that, Xiao Zhenlei found Liu Zhijie and Zhu Xi and said, "Last time I brought a company to perform here, have you all seen it?" “
"Yes, sir!"
"The forty-six bids are basically at that level, tell me yourself, can the current forty-five bids be compared with the forty-six bids?"
The two lowered their heads in shame when they heard this, Xiao Zhenlei did not continue to belittle the forty-five standards, after all, Liu Zhijie had been in office for a relatively short time, and it was too late to carry out the training of the forty-five standards, he continued: "In this way, the headquarters will issue a unified training outline, and the training of the forty-five and forty-six standards in the infantry is the same subject, and the requirements should be the same, in view of the lack of officers and soldiers in the forty-five standards, I decided to transfer a part of the forty-six standards to supplement you, and to catch up with the training progress as soon as possible, After three months, I see the results of your training, do you have the confidence to do it well? ”
"Yes, sir!" The two knew that Xiao Zhenlei was going to mix sand into the forty-five bids, but there was no way, who made the compilation of the forty-five bids imperfect! (To be continued......) R1292
