Chapter 465 Reorganization in progress

At the military headquarters of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, army commander Hu Zongnan was fidgeting inside and waiting for news from the Confidential Section. Next to them sat several division commanders of the First Army and several military commanders.

Just when Hu Zongnan was waiting anxiously, the confidential section chief came over.

"How's it going, is there any news? What did the chairman say? Hu Zongnan couldn't wait to step forward and ask.

The chief of the confidential section shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "No, the chairman has not heard back. ”

"Throne, we can't wait. Last night, Hu Lian's 41st Group Army had already arrived in Wuning, and they would arrive in Nanchang at any time. If we don't accept the reorganization, then what will await us will be devastating! The deputy commander on the side said anxiously.

Although several division commanders did not speak, the anxious eyes they looked at Hu Zongnan already explained everything.

Just a week ago, Su Tong, in the name of the president of the Republic of China, issued an order for reorganization, ordering all the troops in the country to accept the reorganization in a unified manner, and from now on the names of all the Chinese armed forces will be changed to the Huaxia National Defense Force. Any military government that refuses to accept the integration will be considered a rebel and will be dealt with the most severely.

Three days ago, Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army, which was stationed in Xuzhou, refused to accept reorganization on the grounds that it had not received an order from Chairman Chiang, and was surrounded by the 42nd Group Army led by Luo Zhuoying, and then went straight to Tang Enbo's headquarters in Xuzhou City with Qiu Qingquan's Third Armored Division and more than 100 planes as the lead. Under the threat of more than 300 tanks, more than 200 infantry fighting vehicles, and hundreds of aircraft, Tang Enbo's various units were silent and did not dare to act rashly, and watched Qiu Qingquan arrest Tang Enbo, and specially sent a plane to press Tang back to Nanjing for trial. According to well-informed sources in Nanjing, this time the soup hit an iron plate, and it is estimated that he will have to sit through the prison if he does not die.

With this vivid example, the remaining miscellaneous armies of the former Central Army and various localities who refused to accept the reorganization began to waver ideologically.

"Military seat, the chairman is calling!" Just when Hu Zongnan was hesitating in his heart, a report sounded at the door.

"Hurry up!" Several people in the room shouted in unison.

"The reorganization of the whole army is a major matter of the state, and those who go along with it will prosper and those who go against it will perish, and for the sake of the country and the nation, we should respond to and obey the orders of the new president; from now on there will be no chairman of the NPC National Committee, and everyone should sincerely unite and work hard for the establishment of a new force for national defense."

October 21, the 27th year of the Republic of China

After listening to the telegram, everyone in the military headquarters sat down in their chairs as if their bones had been removed, but there was also a hint of relief in their eyes. With this order, there was finally no need to fight in the same room, and the danger of annihilation was avoided for the First Army.

Hu Zongnan and his colleagues in the First Army clearly knew that the First Army was known as the first elite of the former Central Army, with more than 50,000 troops under its command, but it was really nothing compared to the 41st Group Army led by Hu Lian, who was speeding up. Besides, this is still a civil war, if you lose, it will be the fate of the prisoners, and if you win, you will only end up with infamy, and now that even Chairman Jiang has relented, is it still necessary for their subordinates to hold on?

"Report, the vanguard of the Second Armored Division has arrived outside Nanchang City, Commander Hu Lian and Division Commander Wu Jilong ordered us to open the city gate to welcome the troops into the city!" Another voice rang out in the doorway.

Hu Zongnan smiled bitterly, "Order the city defense troops to open the city gate and tell Commander Hu that the lowly general will personally go out of the city to greet him." ”

Outside Nanchang City, Hu Zongnan and Hu Lian, who came with a large army in person, were relatively speechless. Looking at Hu Lian with two golden stars shining on his shoulders in front of him, Hu Zongnan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was also a student of Whampoa. The fourth-phase junior brother in front of him is already a commander with more than 200,000 well-equipped and well-trained troops, but he has an uncertain future because he follows the wrong boss, and the difference is so big.

"Boyu, congratulations. You are the one who has improved the fastest in the fourth phase of Whampoa. Hu Zongnan said with emotion.

Hu Lian just smiled faintly, "Senior Shoushan, you are serious, I just thank the president for his wrong love, you and I are both Huangpu classmates, if there is anything that needs to be taken care of by seniors in the future, I hope that seniors will take care of you." ”

Hu Lian was very uncomfortable when he heard Hu Zongnan's ears, and his face froze, "Boyu, are you making fun of me?" ”

Hu Lian said: "Don't be angry, senior, just tell the truth." When the junior arrived, the president specially explained that the senior would go to Nanjing to study at the newly established National Defense University for three months to six months, and that Mr. Baili and the president would personally give classes to everyone. After coming out, the president will have another reuse! ”

"Oh!" All the generals behind Hu Zongnan were moved, who is Jiang Baili, known as the master of modern Chinese art of war, what about Su Tong? As the president of Huaxia State, it is not an ordinary honor for them to teach Hu Zongnan, what does this mean? This means that after graduation, Hu Zongnan will not only not be marginalized, but will definitely be reused, and Hu Zongnan can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

But Hu Zongnan's heart is bright, he knows that Hu Lian must have a second order against him, if he refuses to accept the reorganization, his fate will definitely not be much better than Tang Enbo.

Hu Lian then asked with a smile: "May I ask who is Senior Du Guangting?" ”

At this time, a tall and dignified-looking major general stepped out of the column and saluted, "Du Yuming, the commander of the 200th Division, has seen Commander Hu. ”

When Hu Lian saw it, he secretly admired in his heart, "What a tiger general!" ’。 Then Zhengse said: "Senior Guangting, you also have an order from the Ministry of Defense here. The Ministry of Defense ordered you to immediately hand over the unit to the deputy division commander and go to the Chahar Armored Forces Academy to study for half a year, and after half a year, when you are successful in your studies, you will be able to form an armored unit again. The president also specially asked me to tell you that you can study with peace of mind, and you will be reused in half a year. ”

"Yes!" Du Yuming didn't know whether to be sad or happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything after answering mechanically.

The storm of reorganization carried out by Su Tong began to spread, starting with the Central Army of the former Congress Party, and finally to the miscellaneous armies of the warlord forces in various places. Su Tong also ordered several newspapers to follow up and report the whole process, and almost every day there was news that which unit had been reorganized and which unit had been dismantled. The general was transferred to the military academy for training, which warlord was disarmed again if he refused to accept the reorganization, and which diehards who refused to surrender were killed, etc.

For a time, there was a call for reorganization everywhere in the country, and Su Tong also repeatedly stated in newspapers and telegrams that the salaries and ordnance of the units that received the reorganization would also be on par with those of the original Chahar troops, and that the dismissed troops and personnel would be given severance pay according to their ranks, and what rank and how much should be taken should be clearly written in the newspapers. If the severance pay received by anyone does not match what is written in the newspaper, they can report it to the military supervision department at any time, and the supervision department will intervene in the investigation at that time, and if it is verified, it will be severely punished.

That's what the newspapers say, and that's what they do. At the beginning of the dismissal, there were still many people who did not believe in evil and were willing to defy the law in an attempt to enrich themselves, so that a few dull gunshots could be heard almost every day in the Nanjing court, that is, moths in the army that had been sentenced to death by military courts.

Su Tong also ordered the newspapers to report daily on the ranks, positions, and reasons for the shooting of those who were shot. Su Tong's iron-blooded approach greatly shocked a large number of personnel, and in the first three months of the reorganization, more than 1,600 people were shot. This figure has silenced the foreign media, and they can't understand why so many people are still defying the law one after another under such a severe criminal law, and is the charm of money really so great?

Some Western media also called Su Tong the butcher president, saying that since Su Tong became president, more than 2,000 people have been executed by him, which is also rare in world history and extremely inhumane. Su Tong scoffed at these reports, he thought that the logistics department of the original Congress Party had rotted to the bones, even if Su Tong increased their salaries several times after the reorganization, it could not reduce their greed in the slightest, and they could not resist the temptation of money no matter what. Only a bloody human head can stop their greedy black hand.

At the Nanjing City Vice Presidential Palace, Vice President Chiang, who had been on business for a day, returned home and saw several familiar faces sitting in the house, his wife and son were talking with them, and the chairman saw that it was his wife's sister Song Ailing and his eldest son Kong Lingkan.

Seeing her husband come back, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her husband's coat off, and Vice President Jiang said to Song Ailing with a smile: "It turns out that the eldest sister and Ling Kan are here, it's really rare!" Be sure to have a light meal here in a while! ”

Song Ailing and Kong Lingkan agreed with a smile, and after a while, the family had a meal, and the six of them sat down in turn. At the dinner table, Vice President Jiang did not eat, but took a glass of boiling water and drank it quietly. Madame Jiang looked at it and asked, "Darling, have you eaten there again?" ”

Vice President Jiang nodded, "No way, in a few days it will be Jianming's wife's due date, Jianming said that he would invite everyone to have a light meal at home, but it was difficult to be warm, and I couldn't help it." ”

Mrs. Jiang couldn't cry or laugh, "This Jianming, why didn't I find out that he liked to invite guests to dinner so much?" ”

Vice President Jiang also looked helpless, since Su Tong became president, in his spare time, his hobby is to call our Vice President Jiang and Vice President Gu, who is also a member of the Social Workers' Party, and high-level government officials to have dinner at home. In this guy's words, it is to cultivate feelings and enhance understanding, but I never thought that this would become a habit, and we also deepened our understanding during the process of eating together.
