Wang Zhongyi set up his headquarters of the Mongol Front in the official office of the former Qing government's minister of Kulun. This official office built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty is quite large-scale, and the flower hall in the backyard of the public hall is readily available. Although it is a little dilapidated, it is much more comfortable to live in than those rough-and-tumble Western buildings. It's not that Wang Zhongyi pursues enjoyment, it's really that he is now the head of the family, and there are a lot of wives, concubines, children, and servants in the family, and it is really inconvenient not to have a spacious place. As for...... Why can't GCD people marry little wives or something, uh, in fact, there are several wives of Comrade Choibalsan and Comrade Demead

Today, Wang Zhongyi set up a banquet in the flower hall of the headquarters to entertain Wang Zijiu, the "king of the northwest" who came to Mongolia for inspection and visit. Wang Zhongyi's henchmen gathered together, Wang Guodong, Liu Dezhu, Chen Tian, Tang Yao, and even Lin Yurong were also sideways.

There are some treasures on the table, and when a mutton hot pot is churning like white waves, it is the most lively time.

Wang Zijiu's face is still as heavy as water, with a cold and dead face, and he has used thunderous methods in Xinjiang, pretending to be iron and bloody all day long. Over time, I probably forgot how to laugh? However, this fierce and fierce spirit has also suppressed many people and made the ground in Xinjiang a lot more peaceful, so he can come to Mongolia boldly to "visit" with confidence.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Wang Zhongyi grinned and looked at Wang Zizhi beside him: "Brother Jun Hao, don't blame, brother, I am a rough man, and I won't talk around the corner." This time my brother came to Mongolia, what idea did he get, let's sum it up at this banquet? ”

"I'm the same, I like to be straight up." Wang Zijiu said in his usual tone: "I know that what we are in at the moment is not a real peace, but a truce in which the struggle between the three countries of the Soviet Union and Japan is only suspended rather than ended. And our Youth Army, together with your Red Army and the Mongolian Front Army, will definitely be on the front line in the future Sino-Soviet struggle, and this is also the purpose of his (Luo Yaoguo) sparing no effort to support us over the years, right? Since we both have a common enemy and a common supporter, why don't we join forces and work together against the common enemy of the Soviet Union? ”

The king's words of self-reflection had already conveyed his intentions unmistakably to everyone present. Their youth army was to join forces with the Mongol Front against the Soviet Union.

Wang Zhongyi nodded: "Is that all?" ”

Wang Zizhi coldly glanced at the people at the dinner in the flower hall, and said: "Since we want to join forces, we should be serious, otherwise it is better not to join forces." My vision is to create a joint staff committee to coordinate military operations and deployments on both sides, and to also reform our military to adapt to future wars based on the realities of Mongolia and Xinjiang. In other words, we must also carry out the necessary military reforms, and we must not hold on to our fixed thinking. ”

Hearing the word military reform, Wang Zhongyi's brows tightened, and he seemed to have thought of something, and just about to ask, Wang Zizhi quickly and anxiously continued: "Our army will fight against the Soviet Red Army in the future, and the Soviet Red Army will far surpass us in terms of firepower and mobility. If you fight them head-to-head...... Hehe, with this little strength in your hands and me, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long, and we won't even be able to get reinforcements from the National ** Army. ”

Wang Zhongyi's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he took out a thoughtful expression, and said to himself in an inaudible voice: "The Soviet Union is an industrialized power after all, and we can't compare with it...... That's why we've just hung up a GCD signboard right now, which can be regarded as making them have some scruples, right? If it really starts, with the strength in your hands and me, I'm afraid it will ......"

Wang Zizhi pricked up his ears and listened to the other party's words word for word, and a confident smile slipped out of his face: "Zhong Gong, that's why I came all the way from Dihua to discuss with you how to deal with it."

Wang Zhongyi was stunned, but Wang Zizheng began to peddle his military reform plan endlessly: "The terrain of our Xinjiang is divided into north and south by the Tianshan Mountains, and the southern Xinjiang is surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains and the Green Mountains, which can be regarded as dangerous, but the gate of northern Xinjiang is open. And Your Excellency's Mongolia is simply unsafe, and the only thing you can rely on is to use the vast territory of Mongolia to maneuver with the Soviet Union and fight a sports war with them."

“…… Northern Xinjiang and Mobei Mongolia and the Central Asian region of the Soviet Union have historically been the battlefields of the steppe country to fight sports warfare, and now that our Han people rule this land, we must also change our thinking in time and learn from the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Mongolian in history. Like them, we will build a flexible and mobile cavalry corps, and use the vast steppes and deserts to fight the Soviet Red Army to the end, so the army in our hands must be reformed, and the light infantry that is inferior to the Soviet Red Army in terms of firepower and mobility must be changed to light cavalry and mountain infantry. ”

“…… In addition, we have to learn to fight in the harsh natural conditions of winter, which is the strong point of the Soviets, and if we do not master the skills and equipment necessary for winter warfare and give up winter to the Soviet Union, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the Soviet invasion in the end. ”

Wang Zhongyi listened carefully, and his face gradually turned blue. In fact, he had already learned a lot about the Soviet Red Army through the Trotskyist military adviser Rakovsky. It is known that the real strength of the Soviet Red Army is precisely the cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry in history is the first in the world (Rakovsky thinks so). Winter warfare was also a strong point for the Soviet Union, which historically used to defeat Napoleon's expeditionary forces

“…… Zhonggong, if we want to gain a foothold in Xinjiang and Mobei, we must turn the vast desert steppe into a frontier where our cavalry gallops, and turn the cold winter in Mobei and Xinjiang into our Chinese's friends. I know it's going to be difficult, but if we don't start working hard now, we won't even have the slightest skill to deal with the Soviets when the big disaster comes."

After Wang Zijiu finished speaking, he sat up straight, just looking at Wang Zhongyi with blazing eyes.

Wang Zhongyi suddenly laughed deeply: "Brother Jun Hao, it seems that you have been thinking about it for a long time, right?" I agreed to the joint thing. Military reform...... To be honest, brother, I don't have any idea how to reform our army. And I'm afraid I can't figure out anything with my stupid brain, so it's better to write a handwritten letter, and you and Wenyang will go to Wuhan together. You go and discuss with Fuwen, he has a lot of ideas, and he has a moral affairs advisory group to help come up with ideas. Should...... There will be a way, right? ”

Wang Zizhi nodded slightly, as if he was very approving. Maybe he didn't fly to Xinjiang to discuss any military reform with Wang Zhongyi at all, but just to ask him for an opinion, and then he could negotiate with Luo Yaoguo, right?

Wang Zhongyi was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Yurong, the commander of the artillery regiment, and smiled at Wang Zizhi: "This Lin Yurong's idea is not small, he is your junior of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he is from the fourth artillery department, let him go with you to see Luo Fuwen this time." ”

……

Luo Yaoguo had a hard time during this time.

To tell the truth, he is also asking for himself not to enjoy a comfortable and peaceful life, so he has to drum up some military reform. Who in the Kuomintang can preside over this matter at the moment? Of course, nominally it is Chiang Kai-shek, but the military ideas in this master's mind may not have reached the First World War, right? And what about the future World War II? People don't have this string at all, so they have to pick it up by Luo Yaoguo alone, and then split it into three petals by himself, and he is busy to death all day long.

Although he sometimes complains in his heart, he still does it with great interest. Right now, he can be regarded as awake to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, uh, and four beauties are lying in turn...... To live such a good life, how can it be done without paying a price?

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek and Xu Chongzhi didn't care about anything at all, they all lost to Luo Yaoguo. The two of them are very concerned about the reform of the training and promotion system of military cadres, and the truth in this can be understood with their butts. The first project of this reform was the creation of the rank of general and marshal. Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, and Luo Yaoguo first gave each of them a marshal in order to look fair and just, and the old man of the navy was also named marshal, a four generalissimos. Then several generals were sealed, Luo Yiqun, Liang Hongkai, Cheng Qian, Tan Yanhong, Xu Ji, Zhu Peide, Li Liejun, and Deng Yanda were all given to the generals

gave himself and his relatives and friends an official title, and then it was time for the reform of the training and promotion system of officers of the National ** Army. To put it bluntly, this reform is the final completion of the process of "de-militarization" of the National Army. At present, the management of the national ** army in terms of finance and logistics supply is already quite strict, and if a scientific and rigorous officer training and promotion system is formulated, the era of warlords may really be gone forever. The means by which civilian governments in various countries around the world control the national military are actually financial and personnel on the one hand.

Naturally, the system of training and promotion of officers was also modeled after Germany and Japan. In addition to the junior military academies affiliated to the Central Military Academy, six local army primary schools are also planned to be opened in Guangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Kaifeng, and Kunming. It specially recruits young people who have reached the age of 12 to enroll in the school, and provides free secondary education and basic military training, the cultivation of the quality of officers, and the ideological education of the Three People's Principles and patriotism. The duration of the army primary school is five years, and after graduation, students will be trained in the army for half a year, and then apply for the Central Military Academy or the Navy Military Academy.

The Central Military Academy has set up 10 branch schools for infantry, artillery, cavalry, baggage, engineers, armored troops, aviation troops, military police, communications, and managers, all of which are two and a half years (including half a year of military probation). The trainees are all active military personnel with the rank of second-class private, enjoy free education, and receive military pay. After graduation, you can get the rank of second lieutenant, which is much more miserable than their first four senior brothers, so let's slowly improve their qualifications, in addition, it is worth mentioning that the Central Military Academy Manager Branch will recruit female cadets into the school, which can be regarded as a sign of women's liberation, right?

The Naval Academy was opened on the site of the former Whampoa Military Academy on Changzhou Island in Guangzhou, with a duration of three years. The cadets are also active military personnel, with the rank of first-class private, enjoy free education, and also receive military pay. His first rank after graduation was Second Lieutenant. The instructors were all former Imperial German naval officers, and the management was extremely strict, but this military school later became a school for Chinese young people to compete for, claiming to be even more difficult than the Central University.

In addition to the Central Military Academy and the Naval Academy, there are two military institutions of higher learning, the Army University and the Naval University. After the reform of the training and promotion system for officers, if you want to be promoted to the rank of general, you must first enter these two military institutions of higher learning. Moreover, these two military universities only admit outstanding graduates of the Army Military Academy and the Navy Military Academy, and they must also receive a good evaluation of the troops during their service in the army before they are eligible to apply for the examination...... Instead of escorting officers who have graduated from these two military universities, they will generally be assigned to staff posts at all levels, first as staff officers, and then as commanders at all levels or into units under the Military Commission.

According to the latest regulations, the promotion of officers of the National ** Army will be divided into two parts: promotion according to seniority and promotion in the line of fire. Promotion according to seniority should pay attention to academic qualifications and military service performance, while promotion in the line of fire is promotion according to military merit, which is relatively more flexible, but promotion in the line of fire only ends up to colonel.

……

Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, within the central station of Wangjialing Zhongg.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, this time the Kuomintang's military reform now seems to be just a power reshuffle within them. After this reform, the National ** Army was divided into three main factions. the Cantonese faction headed by Xu Chongzhi; the Whampoa faction headed by Chiang Kai-shek; The mixed lineage headed by the uncles and nephews of the Luo family means that it mixes part of the Cantonese and Whampoa lines. Other minor factions such as the Gui, Yunnan, and Sichuan factions were either completely marginalized or joined the three factions as members. However, the Kuomintang leftist faction seems to be the biggest loser of this military reform, and a large number of middle- and lower-ranking officers of the 21st Division were transferred to the reserve and turned into civilian officials in various parts of Henan to take charge of the so-called peaceful land reform. ”

"And in the future, the officers of the Kuomintang army can only come out of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Naval Military Academy. In particular, the Whampoa Military Academy is basically monopolized by the graduates of the six local army primary schools and the junior military academy affiliated to the Central Military Academy, and even if ordinary students who have graduated from junior high schools are admitted to the Central Military Academy, it is impossible for them to compete with those graduates of the Lu Primary School who have been indoctrinated with militarist ideas since childhood, and I am afraid that they will not even have the opportunity to enter the Army University, and naturally they will not be able to enter the core of the Kuomintang army in the future......

Gu Shunzhang, the person in charge of the special section of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, was briefing Zhou Elai on the latest progress of the Chinese Kuomintang's military reform with a smile on his face. During this time, the situation in China suddenly calmed down, and apart from the military reform of the Kuomintang, there seemed to be no major event worth paying attention to. At this time, Zhou Elai just listened with a serious face, and did not express any opinions, as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Shunzhang continued to talk eloquently: "At present, those Kuomintang miscellaneous players who still maintain a certain strength are trying to find ways to protect themselves. For example, Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Army, who has more than 100,000 troops, now has a much better attitude towards our party, and his brothers do not want to be sent to the reserve by the Kuomintang rightists to sit on the cold bench. Liu Wenhui of Kawabe is also actively befriending Wu Yizhang of our party now, and it seems that he is also afraid of being swallowed up by the right wing of the Kuomintang. In addition, the warlord forces of the Jin Army, the Anhui faction, and the Feng faction, which originally harbored illusions about the right wing of the Kuomintang, have now clearly recognized their colors and are actively moving closer to our party. I'm afraid this result was something that Chiang Kai-shek, Luo Yaoguo and others never dreamed of, right? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Elai suddenly raised his head and asked calmly: "How many people are there in the National ** Army now?" What are the positions? ”

Gu Shunzhang was slightly stunned, frowned, and seemed to be thinking hard: "Our party's strength in the early days of the Kuomintang Central Military Academy was still too weak, and it was busy preparing for its own Northwest Military and Political Cadres School, so we did not arrange comrades in time. However, in the fourth and fifth phases of Huangpu, this situation has changed, but ......" Speaking of this, Gu Shunzhang suddenly thought of something, and his whole face turned blue in an instant.

Zhou Elai glanced at Gu Shunzhang, who had already woken up, and smiled bitterly: "We can only arrange people to go to their interior, only in line with the principle of planting widely and harvesting little, after all, no one knows if they will be reused?" At present, the Kuomintang's officer training and promotion system has become more and more standardized and rigorous. It's getting harder and harder to put people in the national army......"

The personnel of the National ** Army is about to be monopolized by the system of the Central Military Academy. In the future, the cadets of the Central Military Academy will mainly come from the seven army cadet academies. Because of his generous treatment and good prospects, these junior military academies will definitely become a paradise for boys from poor families in South China, but the problem is ...... These boys were only twelve years old before they were admitted to the Junior Military Academy, and they had not yet formed a correct outlook on life, values, and worldview, and it was impossible for them to join the GCD or even the Youth League, at most they were a Young Pioneer, right? Even if they arranged for the captains of the Young Pioneers in the Central Soviet Region to go to the Kuomintang army primary school, they were lucky enough to be admitted. However, after five years of primary school in the army, half a year of probationary training, two and a half years in the army officer school, and three years in the army university, a total of 11 years of reactionary education. I'm afraid that even good people will be taught badly, right?

According to the current rules for the training and promotion of officers of the National ** Army. More than ten years later, the core organs of the National Army, as well as the headquarters of divisions and brigades, are all elites who have been trained through such a fixed procedure as the Army Elementary School, the Military Academy, and the Army University, which will be exactly the same as the current Japanese Army and Navy.
