Xiong Wu glanced at everyone, then flipped through the text in his hand and began to read: "According to the plan of the General Staff, the country will be divided into eight military regions. "The domain name of this site is the full spelling,Please remember the domain name of this site!" The Capital Military Region is responsible for garrisoning Beijing, Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong and other provinces. The subordinate units were the instructors, the 2nd Cavalry Corps, the 1st, 6th, 9th, 10th, 36th, 37th, 44th and 45th Divisions, as well as two heavy artillery brigades under the War Department.

The Third Cavalry Corps will be organized within half a year, with the main officers drawn from the First Cavalry Corps and the Second Cavalry Corps, and the soldiers mainly recruited by the three major tribes of Inner Mongolia and the four major tribes of Outer Mongolia. The commander of the Third Cavalry Corps was Major General Bahar, and the deputy commander was Major General Li Zhuo.

The Northwest Military Region, responsible for garrisoning Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi and other provinces, has the jurisdiction of the First Cavalry Army, the Second Division, the Fifth Division, the 38th Division, the 39th Division and the 51st Division.

Lieutenant General Lin Chengye is the commander of the military region, Major General Jiang Qiao is the deputy commander, and Major General Qi Chunxiang is the chief of staff. The commander of the 7th Division was succeeded by Tian Xingheng, the former deputy division commander, and his rank was promoted to major general.

The South China Military Region is responsible for garrisoning Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, and has the 22nd, 24th, 31st, and 53rd Divisions under its jurisdiction.

"The specific arrangement is like this, the commanders who are still lacking in each unit will be deployed in the future!" Xiong Wu said.

The generals present at the meeting discussed one after another, and although some of them were not promoted, they were able to serve as deputy commanders or chief of staff of the military region, which could be regarded as a promotion for them. Moreover, in the event of a war, the divisions will be reorganized into group armies, and they will naturally be able to rise to the top, and if they can achieve combat merits again, then their promotion will be nine out of ten.

The responsibility of the Capital Military Region is mainly to guard the security and stability of the Gyeonggi region, and at the same time, as a reserve, in the event of a war in the north, the front-line troops need to be replenished. The main defensive targets of the Northeast Military Region are Russia and Japan in the north, and although Japan has been defeated this time, it is foreseeable that they will definitely make a comeback, and China must be prepared. The Northern and North-Western Military Districts will face Russia. Because of the huge area of responsibility, both military regions have cavalry corps under their jurisdiction. On the Mongolian side, with the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian princes and nobles also knelt down to the central power. Although the Russians wanted to make some small moves, the Russian forces in the Far East were now seriously insufficient, and they did not dare to make enemies of China until the Trans-Siberian Railway was opened. The South-Western Military Region mainly defended the enemy in the southwest, mainly the British and British colonial armies. The South China Military Region was defending French Indochina and would be ready to send troops to Indochina at any time to drive the French out of the region. The East China Military Region is mainly facing the enemy at sea. However, as long as the Chinese Navy is not defeated, they will not face the landing of the enemy. The East China Military Region and the Central Plains Military Region also mainly assume the role of a strategic reserve.

As for the navy, since the number of warships is still relatively small, and the main enemy is still Japan, the navy will not make adjustments for the time being. However, the main home port has been transferred from the south to the north, and Lushun and Weihaiwei and Qingdao will be built into the main military ports in the north and become the main anchorage of the Chinese navy.

The reform of the military system has enabled China's millions of army forces to better manage and the division of defense zones to make the responsibilities of various ministries clear. Although the war is over for the time being, it does not mean that China will be able to sit back and relax. China's army and navy need to be prepared and ready to meet challenges.

On the government side, the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Personnel of the Cabinet were established, and the Ministry of Supervision was responsible for supervising and inspecting officials across the country, directly responsible to Wang Yuze, and the Supervision Department was set up in the following provinces for vertical management. Once it is discovered that an official has committed corruption or dereliction of duty, the department at the next higher level will be reported according to the level of the official. And the relevant information can be directly reflected to Wang Yuze. At the same time, the Ministry of Personnel has also set up personnel offices in the following provinces to be responsible for the evaluation of officials. If the Ministry of Supervision discovers corruption and dereliction of duty, the Ministry of Personnel can directly dismiss them from their posts and transfer them to the judicial organs for trial. This will greatly improve the rule of officials in China, and coupled with the policy of high salaries and incorruptibility, Wang Yuze is confident that he will gradually establish a relatively clear rule of officials in China. Of course, it is almost impossible to be completely free of corruption and malfeasance. It can only be regulated by strict laws and regulations. Once tried for corruption and dereliction of duty, they will not only be sentenced to prison or even shot, but will also be discredited, which will make those officials with bad official morals have to demand themselves severely.

At the end of July, in the afternoon, Wang Yuze discussed the current development of the army with the chief of staff, the ministers of the army and navy, and the defense minister. The matter of economic development has full authority to be handled by the cabinet, and Wang Yuze only needs to grasp the general direction. He was still most interested in the development of the military and the direction of China's expansion.

"Marshal, according to your orders, the General Staff and the Army and Navy have already sent elite personnel to Hawaii, the Philippines and other places. But are we really going to attack these places now? I have always felt that it is better not to confront the Western powers until Japan is completely defeated and the strength is gained to compete with the Western powers! Xiong Wu said with some concern.

"The chief of staff is too worried, if China wants to develop and become a world power, it must embark on the road of foreign expansion. And the targets we've chosen now aren't very powerful. Hawaii is now controlled by the Republic of Hawaii, which is supported by the Americans, and although the economic strength of the United States is strong, the military strength is very weak. If there is a war between China and the United States, we will be 100% capable of defeating them. It's just that once the industrial power of the United States explodes, we will not have the upper hand. However, as long as we develop, we may not have the strength to compete with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific. The cabinet is already drawing up a five-year plan for industrial development to begin next year, and with the help of the former western Sichuan region, our industrial strength will soon be strengthened. In addition, the Philippines, Guam, and the Mariana Islands were all colonies of Spain, which had completely declined, and they did not have much military strength in Asia. In the Philippines, they only have an army of a few thousand men and a few old warships, and we can wipe them out. Even if their home fleet sails for Asia, we are sure to defeat it. Hawaii's strategic location is very important and has a direct bearing on whether or not we can gain the upper hand in the Pacific with the United States. The Philippine market and resources are also very important to us. Therefore, in the next three years, the military needs to start from these two points and must include these regions in our sphere of influence! Wang Yuze said solemnly.
