Although the Beiyang government appointed Wu Xingquan as the envoy of the Northeast and the envoy of the Mongolian and Xinjiang Economic Strategy. However, government agencies also need to be integrated. In particular, the vast territory of Mongolia was still under the control of the Manchu government and the Mongol ministries. It will be necessary to wait until the following spring before sending troops in order to guarantee domination over these areas.

The most important thing is to build the government shelves of the seven northern provinces now. Wu Xingquan's proposal to set up a political affairs committee that Wu Haoxuan had suggested to Wu Xingquan had already been fully approved. and discussed the candidates for the governors of the seven northern provinces with Wu Haoxuan. After a month of preparation, the political affairs committees of the seven northern provinces were formally established.

On November 12, in Shengjing City, a large courtyard next to the Patrol Embassy became the residence of the political affairs committees of the seven northern provinces. The departments under the Political Affairs Committee, the candidates for governors who had been drawn up by the seven northern provinces, plus the generals of the military, all gathered here. This was the first time that Wu Xingquan had summoned his high-ranking officials after he became the envoy of the Northeast Parade and the envoy of the Mongolian Xinjiang Economic Strategy.

Everyone's face was beaming, and the establishment of the political affairs committee undoubtedly gave many unambitious people the opportunity to give full play to their talents. At the same time, there are also many people who have gone to high positions because of this. In addition, many generals will also be promoted this time. Having finally won the battle against the Japanese, these generals can naturally be promoted by virtue of their military exploits.

Of course, Wu Xingquan, the Northeast Patrol Envoy and the Economic Strategy Envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, is only promoted to army general now. The generals below are naturally only lieutenant generals. It can't be higher than Wu Xingquan's military rank, right?

9 a.m. Everybody's here. Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan, father and son, sat on the rostrum in the conference room of the Political Affairs Committee. In addition to their father and son, there was also a young man. This young man is Yang Du, who has been appointed secretary general of the Political Affairs Committee. He also presided over today's meeting.

"Colleagues, please be quiet. Now, I would like to invite you to speak for us. Yang Du said loudly.

"Ahem!" Wu Xingquan coughed twice and cleared his throat before he began to speak.

"Brothers, this year is for us. It's a crucial year. In the war more than a month ago, we successfully defeated little Japan and let those invincible little Japan know. We're not to be messed with. also let Yuan Datou in the south know that we are powerful, and Baba handed over the seven northern provinces to us. I Wu Xingquan can't speak, but. Brothers know the character of my old Wu. That is, blessings and hardships are shared together. The seven northern provinces are now our territory, and we have to defend them. Whoever wants to snatch it from us has to ask us if we have the gun in our hand if we say yes. As for the rest, you all have to listen to Haoxuan. The son is better than Lao Tzu, and he can naturally enjoy happiness when he is Lao Tzu. Wu Xingquan said directly.

He was originally a rough man and had a bit of a big tongue. But he is righteous, among the generals of the original lineage. It's still very staffed. Now, Zhang Yuting is dead. Feng Linge fled to Guannei, and Ma Tengxi had already returned to obedience. His identity as the leader of the Feng system is no longer challenged.

As soon as Wu Xingquan's speech ended, the generals below cheered. Although, in the eyes of those literati, Wu Xingquan's speech may have been too rude. However, this is undoubtedly the appetite of these generals. On the contrary, it was those words that made them unaccustomed to it.

"Next, the major marshal will speak, and the promotion order will be announced." Yang Du said with a smile.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Haoxuan, because what Wu Haoxuan was going to announce next was related to their vital interests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in this war against Japan, all the units have shown great valor. I thank you, without your heroic fighting, we would not have been able to defeat the Japanese. However, I hope that this does not make you complacent. The strength of the Japanese is far stronger than ours. This time they were able to defeat them more because of other factors, the Japanese could not fight us with all their might. However, the next time the Japanese go to war with us, I am afraid that they will devote their national strength. I hope that next time we will still be able to defeat the Japanese, do you have any confidence? Wu Haoxuan asked loudly.

"Yes! Defeat Little Japan. The generals shouted.

Before the war, there might have been some fear of the Japanese. However, after this battle, everyone realized that the Japanese did not seem to be a big deal. It's just a little longer and stronger, and the marksmanship is a little more accurate. In the face of the Jilin Army, there is still only a share of being ravaged. Although, everyone knows that the next time there is a war with Japan, it will be even more tragic. However, everyone is equally confident that they will win future wars. The establishment of the Jilin Army has only been a year. With the development of time, the Jilin Army will definitely become more powerful.

"Now, I announce the order for promotion. Wu Haoxuan, chief of the General Staff and instructor division commander, was promoted to lieutenant general. Wu Haoxuan first announced. The first to be promoted was himself.

The generals were not convinced by this. As military generals, they know better that in the Jilin Army, Wu Xingquan's shadow has gradually faded, and it is replaced by Wu Haoxuan. If it is said that many of the high-ranking generals and officers were still influenced by Wu Xingquan. Well, almost all the officers in the middle and lower ranks graduated from the army officer school. As the principal of the military academy, Wu Haoxuan naturally had a great influence on them.

In this war, Wu Haoxuan personally went to the front line to command the battle, and Wu Haoxuan commanded every major battle. He was the first to be promoted to lieutenant general, which naturally no one objected to.

"Major General Shi Deshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, was promoted to lieutenant general. Major General Zhao Xifu, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, was promoted to lieutenant general, Major General Shi Tianhan, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, was promoted to lieutenant general, and Major General James, deputy division commander, was promoted to lieutenant general! ”

Wu Haoxuan then read, this is the list of promoted lieutenant generals other than him. Shi Deshan, Zhao Xifu and Shi Tianhan are all Wu Xingquan's henchmen, and among the many generals, they also have high qualifications. In addition, the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the 3rd Infantry Division were the first infantry divisions established by the Jilin Army, and the following infantry divisions were all expanded on the basis of these infantry divisions. Their promotion to lieutenant generals is also well deserved.

The only controversy is probably the instructor deputy teacher James. A foreigner, who became a lieutenant general in the army, was still one of only five lieutenant generals. This makes some people feel a little unlucky. However, everyone knows that although Wu Haoxuan is the mentor's teacher, in fact, except for the early stage, James will be in charge of teaching the tutor in the future. Although James was a foreigner, he had always tried his best to command troops in the war against Japan. It is not unacceptable for him to become a lieutenant general.

In addition to this, there are also those who have been promoted to the rank of major general. This disappointed some of the generals. After all, the various infantry divisions fought very well in this battle against Japan.

But Wu Haoxuan insisted that this time only these few people were promoted as lieutenant generals, and the rest were all major generals. If the lieutenant general grabs a handful, no one will cherish it. What's more, when the army was expanded, they were promoted to major generals, and they had already been promoted once. Of course, on the surface, it is still necessary to appease everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not promoted this time, don't be discouraged. I dare to assert that in three years, five years in the longest, there will be a war on a larger scale between us and little Japan. As long as you can achieve combat merits in the war, promotion is inevitable. Wu Haoxuan said.

This made the generals who had not been promoted once again rekindle hope in their eyes. As long as there is a battle and they can win the battle, then they will be promoted sooner or later. What's more, this promotion was originally very fair, and they naturally had no complaints.

Next, Wu Haoxuan announced the appointment of the Government Affairs Committee, and Yang Du was appointed as the Secretary General of the Government Affairs Committee, responsible for the daily operation of the Government Affairs Committee. The Government Affairs Committee has jurisdiction over the Department of Finance, headed by Liu Kuiyi, the Department of Education, headed by Zheng Yinglan, the Department of Industry, headed by Xia Shoutian, the Department of Civil Affairs, headed by Yuan Jinkai, the Department of Transportation, headed by Zhan Tianyou, and the Police Department, headed by Xu Lanzhou.

Next, it is time to choose the governors of the seven northern provinces. Ma Tengxi was the governor of Fengtian Province, Zhou Ruchen was the governor of Jilin Province, Wu Pinheng was the governor of Heilongjiang Province, Tang Yulin was the governor of Rehe Province, Yu Zhongying was the governor of Chahar Province, Wang Yongjiang was the governor of Suiyuan Province, and Sun Liechen was the governor of Mongolia Province.

The heads of the various departments under the Political Affairs Committee, as well as the candidates for governors of the seven northern provinces, were the result of discussions between Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan. Among these people, there are old men from the Feng family, unambitious officials asked by Wu Xingquan from the Guannei, and Yang Du's fellow disciples.

Among them, the most important is undoubtedly the position of the governor of Mukden Province. After thinking about it again, Wu Xingquan still gave this position to Ma Tengxi. After all, Ma Tengxi is his eldest brother and Wu Haoxuan's father-in-law. There should be no problem for him to be in charge of Mukden Province.

What's more, the seven northern provinces are now separating the military from the government, and the provincial governors can only go all out to implement civil affairs, while the army is firmly controlled by the General Staff. Even if the other governors had ideas, they didn't dare to do anything without guns. (To be continued......)
