"Yes, if they don't help us build a military-industrial base, they just don't have sincerity, so we shouldn't cooperate with the Soviet Union." Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek finally showed a smile. "Fuwen, your method is really clever. Premier Sun originally wanted 100,000 people of weapons and equipment, but now it seems that he might as well want steel factories and arsenals. Anyway, it costs the same money, there is a factory, when we blow it with the USSR, we can also produce it ourselves. ”

Luo Yaoguo thought about it again. "We want the technology to be provided by the Soviet Union, and I think we can purchase some equipment from Germany, and the quality of the equipment in the Soviet Union is estimated to be not good. The factory was supposed to be built in Shaoguan, which was close to the railway, as well as copper and iron mines. Iron and steel factories should have the production capacity of cannon steel, so that we can produce our own cannons in the future, and with cannons, we can be the king and hegemon in the country. And we want them to provide some molds for the water bead rifle, the rifles we use now are all imitations of the Mauser 88, too old to use, it is best to let the Ishii Arsenal and the Hongshanqiao Arsenal be changed to 7.62mm water bead rifles, and the machine gun caliber is also changed to 7.62mm. ”

"Do we want the Soviet Union to provide the military advisers and military schools?" Chiang Kai-shek remembered that it seemed that Sun Yat-sen had a request in this regard.

"No, I don't." Luo Yaoguo replied with certainty: "The technical level of China's civil war is very low, and there is no good way to do it except for group charge, what do you want Soviet advisers to do?" We don't use the advanced tactics of the Soviet Union here at all, and I know no less advanced tactics than theirs. ”

"Hehe, we have talented students from the West Point Military Academy, what else do we need Soviet advisers for?" There was a slight vinegar in He Yingqin's words, but he also did not approve of letting Soviet advisers steal jobs.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that his two "military experts" did not want Soviet advisers to guide the operation, so he supported their views. "Then I will suggest to the Prime Minister at that time how about asking the Soviet Union to provide technology for military factories and steel plants?"

"It's better to have some loans for us to buy equipment, uh, how much income can Guangdong make a year now?" Luo Yaoguo knew that the so-called aid of the Soviet Union was to give money.

"There are about more than 20 million, of which the commercial tax in Guangzhou and the tax in the eight counties of Beijiang and Nanjiang are not in our hands. At present, we can only collect taxes from Chaomei and Dongjiang, as well as the towns and villages around Guangzhou, which are only more than 10 million yuan a year. Speaking of taxes, Chiang Kai-shek's face became solemn again.

"It seems that the problems of Guangzhou City, Beijiang and Nan must be solved as soon as possible, and Guan Yu had better get it as soon as possible, so that we can probably have 35 million, right? If Ru Shuai can get the balance of the Fujian Customs, he should be able to pay some taxes to the Generalissimo's Mansion every year, right? "He Yingqin worked in Guizhou and knew more about financial issues." If we can get a part of the income of Guangdong Province and Fujian, we should be able to have 40 million yuan, and now Guangdong has two Guangdong armies, about 70,000 people, about 70,000 people, 30,000 Yunnan troops, and more than 10,000 troops in the Gui army, Jiangxi army, Hunan army, etc., a total of 11 to 120,000, 20 million a year should be able to cope, plus the cost of the political axe, we can get an extra 15 million a year, so that we have money to do something else. ”

"The Dian army now has four parts: Yang Ximin, Fan Shisheng, Jiang Guangliang and Zhu Peide, among which General Zhu Yizhi has always been loyal to the prime minister, and General Fan Xiaoquan will also follow the prime minister, Jiang Guangliang has no ambitions, only Yang Ximin seems to have different ambitions." Chiang Kai-shek thought carefully and said: "I can suggest that the prime minister appoint Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan as the overseers of Guangxi and the governor of Guangxi, let them lead the troops to Guangxi, and then let Zhu Yi and Fan Xiaoquan lead the Yunnan army, so that Guangzhou can return to the control of the premier." ”

After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's plan, Luo Yaoguo also had to secretly admire this person's power and tactics, the attraction of the Guangxi overseer army must be far more than a Guangzhou city, Yang Ximin will definitely lead troops to Guangxi if he gets the appointment, and Liu Zhenhuan should be reluctant to leave if he gets the governor. And Beijiang Shen Hongying heard that Guangxi was returned to Yang and Liu, and the two would inevitably raise troops to make a rebellion, and as long as Shen Hongying was driven away, Beijiang would be able to return to Sun Yat-sen's control, plus the First Army of the Guangdong Army pacified the eight counties of Nanshu, and the whole of Guangdong was naturally pacified. As long as Chiang Kai-shek tries to provoke some infighting, and then Guangdong sends a large army to pacify it, Guangxi will naturally be in the bag.

"Jiegong has a good strategy, so that the two Guang will be calmed down." He Yingqin's bald eyebrows were raised slightly, as if he also saw Chiang Kai-shek's clever plan. "Liangguang is Ping, Fujian will also fall into the hands of Xu Ruwei sooner or later, I heard that this time the prime minister also got a treasure in Shanghai, named Tan Yanhong, with this person in hand, Hunan is afraid that it will not be able to get it, right? So the four provinces will be held again. ”

"Tan Yanmin? Is that the Huiyuan of the late Qing Dynasty, the great calligrapher Tan Yanhong? Luo Yaoguo also heard of Tan Yanhong's name in his previous life, this person is also Chen Cheng's father-in-law, this person is the head of the four major calligraphers of the Republic of China, and later served as the chairman of the national political axe.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and nodded. "With Tan Zu'an's help, the Hunan army can pull at least half of it, the prime minister recruited Tan Zu'an this time to seek Hunan, Fuwen, this time our army will definitely go out of Hunan, maybe we will fight Wu Peifu when the time comes, are you sure?"

Wu Peifu? Luo Yaoguo thought about it for a while, and then understood what Chiang Kai-shek meant, although Hunan was Zhao Hengti's territory, but after the Second Hunan-Hubei War, Zhao Hengti was defeated by Wu Peifu and signed an unequal treaty that humiliated the province, bringing Hunan under the protection of the direct warlords. If the Kuomintang sent troops to Hunan to defeat Zhao Hengti, Wu Peifu would definitely come to the rescue.

"Wu Ziyu is known as China's Ludendorf, and now his direct line is like Zhongtian, Jiegong, it seems that Hunan will not have a fierce war, but it is not difficult for us to keep Hunan." Luo Yaoguo pretended to smile mysteriously when he said this. "Granny Tan (Tan Yanmin's nickname) is the head snake in Hunan, and the children of Sanxiang will still support him, and even Wu Ziyu will not be able to take Changsha for a while and a half. We still have Li Xiagong, the great god of Jiangxi, in hand, if he Wu Ziyu comes to fight Hunan, we will go to take Jiangxi and see if Wu Ziyu wants Hunan or Jiangxi? ”

"Fuwen's method is also feasible, although it can't eliminate Wu Peifu's main force, but it can also make him tired, Wu Peifu's attention is in the north after all, and it is impossible to stay in the south for a long time." Chiang Kai-shek was slightly disappointed when he heard Luo Yaoguo's opportunity, but he was really not sure that he would fight with Wu Peifu so quickly. "Wu Peifu's matter is still long-term, now let's discuss the declaration again, what do you think we should have towards the declaration?"

He Yingqin first replied: "We, the Third Army, should express our support for the premier's decision. When he said the words "the premier's decision", He Yingqin deliberately raised his voice.

"Well, Jingzhi said it well, we want to unconditionally support the Prime Minister's decision!" Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said: "Also, this time the prime minister plans to send an inspection delegation to the Soviet Union for an inspection visit after the assessment of the affairs in Hunan, and I want to be the head of this delegation." Fuwen, will you go with me? "Chiang Kai-shek was worried about a decisive battle with Wu Peifu in Hunan, so he didn't decide whether to go to the Soviet Union in person for a while, and now Luo Yaoguo thought of a kraft candy way to encircle Wei and save Zhao, thinking that he could keep Hunan.

"Thank you for the cultivation of the department." Luo Yaoguo hurriedly stood up and saluted Chiang Kai-shek. This Dr. Sun Yat-sen's delegation is very famous in history, and this time Chiang Kai-shek will find a way to squeeze in even if he doesn't bring it up, Luo Yaoguo. "Jiegong, the staff department also wants to bring someone as an attaché." Luo Yaoguo knew that he went to the Soviet Union to negotiate cooperation with the Soviet Union, so he wanted to bring Lu Ming, a Shanghainese from the Hongshanqiao Arsenal, with him, who was a metallurgical talent who was needed when negotiating with the Soviet Union to build a steel plant.

"Yes, you can. Junru, you take the 10th Division to Huizhou to change the guard with the 8th Division, remember to be optimistic about the Dongjiang River for the Prime Minister, the Dongjiang River is Chen Jiongming's lair, and now there are still some remnants of Chen Jiongming who have retreated to Jiangxi to rely on Fang Benren, you must be vigilant to prevent them from fighting back. Fuwen, your Eighth Division will be stationed on Changzhou Island, and then you will send troops to expel Shen Hongying and attack Hunan. Also, I intend to propose to the Prime Minister the opening of the Kuomintang Army Military Academy on Choshu Island, Fu Wen, you are a top student who graduated from West Point, and I will recommend you to serve as the chief military instructor of the military academy. Respectfully, I want you to do it, the chief of education of the military academy, and the two of you will have a good discussion and see how the military academy can be run well. Chiang Kai-shek now had no doubts about getting the post of military academy headmaster, and now he had the most powerful force in Canton, and in the whole Kuomintang system, or at least seemed to be the most powerful. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen relied on Chiang Kai-shek more than before, and there seemed to be an intention for Chiang Kai-shek to replace Xu Chongzhi as the first military backbone.

"By the way, the prime minister will no longer use the name of a very big president when he returns to Guangdong this time, but will lead the revolution in the name of a generalissimo. What do you think of the Prime Minister's intention to make me Chief of the General Staff of the Generalissimo's Office? Chiang Kai-shek's eyes showed a look of hesitation, of course the chief of the general staff is very good, this position is above all the military generals of the Kuomintang, as if he is the second person in the Kuomintang army, but in China the post of chief of the general staff seems to be unworthy of the name, not as good as the commander.

"Jiegong, what is there to do with this chief of the general staff? It's better to be a military commander. He Yingqin thought that he would definitely not be able to take Chiang Kai-shek's squad as the army commander, so he suggested that Chiang Kai-shek should not be the chief of the general staff.

Luo Yaoguo said disapprerovingly: "The ministry thinks that Jiegong should be the chief of the general staff, this opportunity is rare, now the chiefs of general staff of the great powers are the actual commander-in-chief of the army, and Jiegong can try to turn it into reality when he gets this title."

Jiegong can recommend Liang Hongkai of the First Army to be the Minister of Military Affairs, cancel the numbers of the First Army and the Third Army, merge the military headquarters of the First Army and the Third Army into the Military Affairs Department and the General Staff Headquarters, and the military salaries and supplies of each division will be transferred to the Military Affairs Department, and the command, training, and personnel will be transferred to the General Staff Headquarters. Divisions are not allowed to interfere with the civil affairs of the garrison, nor are they allowed to levy taxes and levies on the people. In addition, the Jie Gong can also propose the establishment of an Ordnance Industry Administration, which will be jointly managed by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the General Staff, and will be responsible for the construction of arsenals and future heavy industries, and the distribution of weapons and ammunition can also be assigned to the Ordnance Industry Administration, which will issue weapons and ammunition necessary for combat and training in accordance with the orders of the General Staff. In addition, under the General Staff, it is also possible to set up arms commands, such as the Artillery Command and the Engineer Command, and in the future, the Aviation Command. First of all, the artillery and engineering units directly under the First and Third Armies were placed under the jurisdiction of the Command. The number of the rear army can be temporarily established according to the needs of operations, and the division level is the largest army establishment in peacetime.

Nowadays, it is very common for the military departments in China to deduct military salaries and eat empty quotas, and the department thinks that the second step is to directly distribute the military salaries of the various armies from the military and political departments to the regiments, and the officials of the military and political departments and the generals at the division level will jointly supervise the distribution of military salaries, and the space for each regiment commander to operate will be much smaller, and the division commander's control over the army will be much weakened after the division level loses the right to issue military salaries, which is conducive to the unification of the military orders of the revolutionary army.

After the first and third armies of the Guangdong Army have been rectified, the Dian Army and other armies in Guangdong will be reorganized according to this pattern, and then the armies of Guangxi, Fujian, and Hunan provinces will be further rectified, and finally the various armies that are lined with mountains will be integrated into a unified revolutionary army that obeys orders and obeys commands. ”
