The next day, Wang Maoru once again conducted an in-depth study of the army's restructuring with all members of the national defense strategy research group and discussed the feasibility and importance of the army's restructuring.

This is the first activity of the National Defense Military Strategy Research Group, and it is also the most important reform of the Chinese defense forces in the next few years. After more than 10 hours of discussion, the final vote was held by a show of hands that the reform of the army was inevitable, but the time could not be rushed, and it would take five years to digest.

The Panel found that the final decision was made in the first year (1923) of officer rotation, which led to a reshuffling of all officers.

In the second year (1924), one or two corps were used as a pilot, and Wang Maoru believed that the Second Army Corps Qinglong Legion and the Third Legion Tengsnake Legion should take the lead in the pilot, and after the restructuring, the Second Army Corps would retain the title of the Qinglong Legion, which would be the Second Army in the number, and the Third Army Corps would be changed to the Third Group Army.

In the third year (1925), five corps will be added to the restructured troops, namely the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Legions.

In the fourth year (1926), the restructured units included the 1st Army Corps, the 7th Army Corps, the 9th Army Corps, the 10th Army Corps, the 11th Army Corps, the 14th Army Corps, and the 16th Army Corps.

In the fifth year (1927), the 12th Army Corps, the 13th Army Corps, and the 15th Army Corps were finally completed, and the restructuring of the whole army was completed.

Wu Peifu, who has always been very impatient, believes that the restructuring of the army is too slow, and that many major events can happen in the world in five years, and he proposed a three-year plan, which should be completed in three years if it can be completed in three years, and it does not have to be five years.

Wang Maoru said with a smile that five years is actually a very short time. Carrying out reform in three years is the equivalent of trying to eat a fat man in one bite -- it is absolutely impossible unless you kill yourself all at once. Wang Maoru smiled and said I agree with what you say, that is, if you can seize the time, you should seize the time. In five years, the Soviet Russian empire should be restored, Japan's militaristic ideology should become more and more vigorous, the economies of the world powers should gradually recover, and China is once again facing a period of coveting by all countries.

After that, the Military Strategic Research Group voted collectively to approve the army restructuring plan and issued a proclamation in the name of the National Defense Strategic Research Group for all armed forces. Voted by the Military Strategic Research Group. With the approval of Generalissimo Wang Maoru, the restructuring of the National Defense Forces will begin this year, and the rotation of officers of the National Defense Forces will be completed by the end of the year.

Due to the rotation of officers. It also made the officer department busy, and many people hoped that they would not be transferred too far, so they sent notes to call Puding to intercede. Puding was very embarrassed, so he found Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru said: "Who pleaded with you." You make a list, and I'll decide where they go. And if you sue them, every piece of information from the officer's department will be reported to me, and I will know who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and who is cheating and cheating to find a relationship. ”

Puding submitted a list, and Wang Maoru then gave instructions. These people are transferred to the hardest, most difficult and worst places, if they don't do well. Just get out of the Wehrmacht. A series of personnel transfers immediately stopped those who wanted to leave the relationship, and quickly and honestly obeyed the arrangement. The officer's department is already a heavy workload, if you still estimate the feelings of these people and the feelings of those people, what else can you do with this work? Wang Maoru issued a notice to the whole army, demanding that all officers must cooperate with the personnel transfer of the officer department, and if there is any dissatisfaction, swallow the dissatisfaction into my stomach or leave the army.

At this time, Park Zhiguo, deputy director of the mobilization department of He Rufeitong Guò, received a support fund of 3 million yen from Ji Xiangdong, and he asked Ji Xiangdong to give him 10 checks for the principal of 300,000 yen from the Bank of Japan, and Ji Xiangdong quickly made it. In fact, when the money did not arrive, He Rufei was still conflicted, and when the three million yen arrived, He Rufei made up his mind. Then he once again discussed with Feng Yuxiang, Xi Kangyong, Fu Wencheng, and Ji Xiangdong how to eliminate the forces of Wang Maoru and influence the Ministry of Defense within two days.

Three days later, Wang Maoru took all the officials of the National Defense Forces to visit the North-South Military Academy at the Baoding Military Academy, and stayed overnight at the Baoding Military Academy. This is a great opportunity, and the information He Rufei got is that the security forces are not very sufficient. If you control the Baoding Military Academy at this time, you will control the entire Ministry of Defense in one fell swoop.

He Rufei supplemented this plan and prepared to integrate seven troops on July 15, they were: He Rufei's Guard, Feng Yuxiang's 73rd Brigade, Li Kuan's Eighth Division, Fei Chaogui's Jingwei Regiment, recruits from the Beijing Recruit Station under the General Department of Military Affairs, White Russian mercenaries, and some gendarmes of the Military Police Headquarters.

The plan was to send a telegram to Zhang Zongchang's troops, saying that they needed to be rotated by the military police. Xi Kangyong sent a team of gendarmes to get off the bus halfway to the north, suing them that someone (framing Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin and other old Beiyang soldiers) to launch a military mutiny, and asked the gendarmes to go to Baoding to rescue the generalissimo Wang Maoru.

These people will arrive in Baoding after dark, just taking advantage of the darkness to create chaos.

The 73rd Brigade led by Feng Yuxiang followed closely behind, and when the military police and the guards of the Baoding Military Academy were fighting, under the banner of quelling the rebellion, they conquered the Baoding Military Academy in one fell swoop and controlled everyone.

In Beijing, Li Kuan first invited the garrison commander Gai Tianjiu to a banquet, because Li Kuan was Gai Tianjiu's old subordinate, and the commander of the garrison would never have imagined that Li Kuan would harm him. After controlling Gai Tianjiu, Li Kuan led the Eighth Division to occupy the headquarters of the Eighth Army Corps.

At this time, Feng Yuxiang should have already controlled Baoding, and He Rufei came forward at the Baoding Military Academy to send a telegram in the name of the Ministry of Defense to promote Li Kuan to the commander of the Eighth Army Corps and control the Gyeonggi Garrison.

Subsequently, the recruits of the Beijing Recruit Station were responsible for attacking the Guards Headquarters, the White Russian mercenaries were responsible for attacking the Ministry of Defense, and He Rufei's guard was responsible for creating chaos and causing turmoil in Beijing. In the end, all the responsibility for the chaos and casualties caused by the entire military mutiny will be shifted to Belarus, and the person responsible for contacting Belarus will be Park Ji-guk, deputy director of the mobilization department.

However, Xi Kangyong thought that he might not be able to completely control the gendarme, and there was also a military police chief He Anding above him, He Rufei said expressionlessly: "He Anding should be in Baoding that day, you don't need to worry too much." As for how the mobilized gendarmes coaxed them into attacking the Baoding Military Academy, I have a way, and I will definitely make these people believe that Wang Maoru must have been held hostage. The purpose of this group of gendarmes was to create chaos in Baoding and make the guards of the Baoding Military Academy suspicious of each other. Once they were in chaos, Feng Yuxiang's army would have an excuse to quell the rebellion. We just need an excuse, an excuse! ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "Those officers and students in my army are also very troublesome, Chief He, can I ......" He made a movement to wipe his neck.

He Rufei nodded coldly and said, "Anyone who hinders our plan must be eliminated." ”

"Yes." Feng Yuxiang saluted.

He Rufei clapped his hands and reminded everyone: "Everyone, we are already grasshoppers on a rope, if we fail, we will all be connected to the nine clans, if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent, in order to succeed, we must do whatever it takes." ”

Fu Wencheng asked: "Can we kill Generalissimo Wang Maoru?" ”

He Rufei thought for a while and said, "Don't kill, but if he is unconscious or disabled, it will be more useful to us." After controlling the situation, we can completely blame the rebels and say that the rebels did it. ”

"Who are the 'rebels'?"

He Rufei laughed and said: "Anyone can be a 'rebel', but I hope that this 'rebel' is Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin and Sa Zhenbing, who are old Beiyang people, so that I can not only suppress these people, warn some people who oppose me, but also win over people from the national defense force system." After the initial decision of the qiē plan, He Rufei asked everyone to keep it a secret, and wrote a letter of determination to eradicate Wang Maoru, and everyone pressed their handprints and went back to prepare.

After everyone left, He Rufei said to the adjutant Du Yuanyuan: "You are now trying your best to forge an emergency warrant from Generalissimo Wang Maoru, which means that the old Beiyang generals in the army headed by Sa Zhenbing are preparing for a military mutiny, and Wang Mao ordered the gendarmerie brigade to be urgently promoted to the generalissimo guards and go to the Baoding Military Academy to quell the rebellion. I'm worried that Xi Kangyong is just a fool who talks on paper and doesn't understand the people of the gendarmerie brigade. ”

Du Yuanyuan asked cautiously: "Chief, does anyone believe it?" ”

He Rufei smiled evilly: "If a person appears, others will have to believe it." ”

"Who?"

He Rufei said: "Whose wife are you with now?" ”

"Huh?" Du Yuanyuan was surprised, "Chief, it turns out that you ...... I was asked to seduce that man's wife before, and that's what I used now!"

He Rufei laughed and patted Du Yuanyuan's shoulder and said, "Calculate in the long run, don't think that I let you seduce other people's wives just to play with women?" ”

Du Yuanyuan stretched out his thumb and said, "Chief He, high!" That's high! ”

In the following days, He Rufei controlled the troops separately according to Ji Xiangdong's plan, and used the promotion of officers to stabilize the national defense force. When the Wehrmacht is stabilized, release the officers of the Ministry of Defense, so that even if they come out, they will only be puppets and will not be able to do anything.

For the spies of the security headquarters that He Rufei hated the most, Fu Wencheng also led the three thousand recruits to exterminate them, and arrested and killed them one by one, and these spies looked unpleasant to their eyes for a long time. The contradiction between the military headquarters and the security headquarters stems from the contradiction between He Rufei and Li Delin, and the two departments are also at odds with each other, and of course it is impossible for the two departments to tear their faces apart in one system. However, if He Rufei is in power, it is estimated that few people in the security headquarters will have a good end. (To be continued......)
