Stuffy development and catching up is the only feasible path for the Republic of China. The country is big, there are many problems, and the capacity of the government becomes a priority. Prime Minister Tang Hualong has gray hair on both sideburns, which is too tiring from too many things. But Premier Tang always looks in good spirits, and he walks with the wind. Sun Baoqi is also old, and the president is still busy with official business every day, and there are always too many things to do, but President Sun never shouts tired.

The new Republic of China has a new atmosphere, and the whole country is busy with construction everywhere, in this vibrant spring.

"No, absolutely not, the Ministry of Finance doesn't have so much money for you, so you can find a way to go. The annual government investment of the Ministry of Education accounts for 30% of the total national tax revenue. Zhang Jian simply rejected Cai Yuanpei's request for money, what are you kidding, the total tax revenue of the Republic of China last year was only 500 million, and 150 million was invested in education, Cai Yuanpei also asked for money, saying that he wanted to build an overseas study fund to help college students in various provinces go overseas for further study.

Cai Yuanpei felt that he didn't want much, just 10 million start-up capital. Zhang Jian's head is big, don't look at all the loans from the United States, the money looks like a lot, in fact, the money has a clear purpose. Embezzle? Don't even think about it, Zhang Jian, the Minister of Finance, has just had a little taste, and he doesn't want to be invited to tea by Zhang Maniac from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Chen Qimei took 30,000 yuan of public funds to drink flower wine, and was taken down by Zhang Taiyan, what was going to die was that Chen Qimei actually confessed, and said that what is it to drink some flower wine?

Zhang Taiyan was not so easy to speak, and immediately submitted relevant evidence to the cabinet and the president. The president signed an order to arrest people, but Chen Qimei did not resist, and was arrested. Proceedings are instituted by an independent Prosecutor's Office. **Guan Ju is personally hearing the case, and the final result is that Chen Qimei was convicted of corruption and sentenced to one year in prison. This is a light sentence, for the sake of the face of the so-called revolutionary merits. It was Sun Baoqi and Tang Hualong who said favors, and according to the law, at least five years in prison. Something similar will inevitably happen in any country.

Americans don't have easy money. Cai Yuanpei was unwilling, and finally Zhang Jian gave him a trick: "Heqing, it's better for you to find Fushuai." He is the famous God of Wealth. "Let the Minister of Education fight the autumn breeze, this is what Zhang Jian can think.

Interestingly, Cai Yuanpei also agreed and immediately resigned. Go find Fang Dashuai.

Fang Jianxiong is not idle. Tong Guò was in a war with Japan, and many problems were exposed by the troops. All the participating units are summing up their experiences, and Fang Dashuai stays at the side of the General Staff every day, eating in the canteen with a group of people. In general, this part also has to worry about Fang Dashuai, Duan Feng is very capable, in fact, he is a person who does specific things. Now the troops are clamoring for new equipment. A group of adjutant commanders of the division stayed in the courtyard of the general rear. Dare to use all kinds of means. There is only one purpose, to equip!

There's no way, many of the current armor divisions are actually not neat. Light machine guns, mortars, there are not a small gaps. The output of Wuhu and Hankou is so large, whoever gets the equipment first will be able to form combat effectiveness first. Wang Tianzong, who is far away in Lanzhou, still uses a golden hook rifle in his division. I gave the establishment of a division of armor, and the equipment and everything were old-fashioned, which was enough to deal with the horse bandits in the northwest. But no one wants to be a stepmother, right?

If you pay close attention, you will find that the earlier you follow Fang Dashuai, the more neat the equipment of the troops. The top eight A divisions, there is no problem at all, and the rest are not worse.

Duan Feng saw that this sign was wrong, so he hid directly in the General Staff, and followed the big handsome every day, but he couldn't drive away.

This is not a long time in the morning to report to the General Staff Department, he, the head of the General Logistics Department, has the rank of colonel, but he can definitely go sideways in the General Staff Headquarters. Fang Jianxiong also touched it early in the morning, and encountered Duan Feng waiting here at the door, and said a little strangely: "I said, why do you come to the General Staff every day this month?" ”

Duan Feng naturally had an excuse, and saluted with a smile: "Fu Shuai, I'm here to ask you, when will the second batch of rifles from the United States OEM arrive." Fang Jianxiong didn't doubt it, and said casually: "It's soon, it's going to be more than ten days." ”

Duan Feng hurriedly followed the pole: "Fu Shuai, Commander Duan of the Lanzhou Military Region, but I have sent a telegram to urge equipment." Saying that the other troops have changed to new rifles, his is still a water of gold hook rifles. There are also light machine guns and mortars, which are very lacking in Lanzhou. You'll have to give me ideas, or I'll not even dare go back to work. ”

Fang Jianxiong understood, and said with a black head: "What can I do?" The newly arrived rifles, first close to the northeast. By the way, there is a batch of 60 mortars in this batch of goods, you give Zhishuai some evenly. Saying that, Fang Jianxiong hurriedly entered, Duan Feng grabbed Yang Yongtai, who was about to enter, and said, "Brother Changqing, wait a minute." ”

Yang Yongtai stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, don't worry, this batch of mortars is very large, this number!" Saying that, he raised two fingers, Duan Feng immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Thank you, much."

Thanks, I can finally have a quiet day for a while. ”

Domestic production is too small, and importing mortars from the United States is also a helpless move. The expansion of the troops was too fast, and 60 mortars were used a lot, so they had to rely on imports. Now there are forty B divisions, most of which do not have mortars. This batch of goods was sold at a low price by the Americans during the Sino-Japanese war. At that time, the U.S. government did not expect that the government of the Republic of China could win so quickly, and it was counting on a year and a half of war between China and Japan.

Therefore, there is no such thing as this imperialism. The Americans supported China with a clear purpose, to contain Japan and Russia, with a focus on Japan, a naval power.

Walking into the General Staff Headquarters, I met Zhang Xiaohuai head-on, and the two of them were polite without saying a word, Zhang Xiaohuai immediately said: "Fu Shuai came just in time, yesterday the Admiralty Sa Lao came, and he annoyed Baili Brain. ”

As soon as Fang Jianxiong heard this, he immediately looked left and right, as if Sa Zhenbing was left and right. "What's his new trick up again? The other day they came to me and asked for battleships, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were four dreadnoughts. I can't even change it if I kill it. ”

Zhang Xiaohuai smiled bitterly: "Sa Lao is shrewd, the crying child has milk to eat, he knows this truth better than us." This is to see that the army has invested a lot, and the navy should embody a sense of survival. Yesterday he was talking about the construction of a fortress at the mouth of the Minjiang River in Fuzhou, and his old man went to Wusongkou, and when he came back, he magnified it twice according to the standard of Wusongkou fortress and opened it to Baili. ”

Fang Jianxiong was dumbfounded, and after a while, he frowned tightly and said, "Wusongkou Wharf has a fortress and invests 30 million." Sa Lao is deliberately trying to bankrupt me. As soon as Zhang Xiaohuai heard this, he smiled and said: "What does it mean to help the country, can you repair one?" ”

Fang Jianxiong nodded and said: "Yes, the mouth of the Min River is facing Taiwan, the Japanese are too close, and they don't have a strong navy, so they can only count on the fortress." By the way, if he comes again, you tell him that within five years, the navy will add four battle cruisers of more than 20,000 tons, and now it will be able to train personnel. ”

Zhang Xiaohuai said with a smile: "If you go and tell him, I won't cause this trouble." Sa Lao can't touch it, and if you get it, you can't get rid of it, and a hundred miles is a lesson from the past! As soon as the words fell, Jiang Fangzhen's voice came: "I said Runnong, I don't have any sympathy at all." Didn't I see that Sa was so old and ran to the Ministry of Defense every day, and I comforted me with a few words, didn't I expect to make less trouble for the army? You guy, your conscience is very bad. ”

Fang and Zhang laughed, and Huang Xing also came, and when he heard the movement, he came over and said, "What's so happy?" As soon as Jiang Fangzhen said to him, Huang Xing also shook his head and said, "I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke." ”

Although the Admiralty is subordinate to the General Staff, it is also a highly independent department. If he cheats, who will dare to fight him? In fact, Fang Jianxiong was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the navy. But I just put it in my heart, I always feel that I need to rectify the navy, but I haven't had a chance. As time went by, Fang Jianxiong saw that Sa Zhenbing was so old, and he came to the Ministry of Defense every day to find trouble without skin and face, and his dissatisfaction in his heart was much lighter. But I still won't take the initiative to see Sa Zhenbing. Looking at the attitudes of these three people today, my heart is somewhat touched.

"What do you think about the Admiralty matter?" Walking into a small conference room, as soon as the weekly routine meeting began, Fang Jianxiong provoked the conversation. By implication, today's topic is the Navy.

"The foundation of the navy is too thin to toss." Huang Xing is still a kind-hearted person, and when he says good things, he shows his cleverness. The current Republic of China Navy is divided into four, of which the main force is the Second Fleet, and the other fleets together are not enough for the Second Fleet. Fang Jianxiong's thoughts, Huang Xing actually knew very well. But as far as Huang Xing's position is concerned, he, the defense minister, is not empty, and he has a lot of power in his hands. Moreover, Huang Xing has a great say in the appointment of personnel in the army. Basically, the people he recommended were at least a brigade commander. Xu Chongzhi is directly a first-class teacher. Fang Jianxiong is fair and meritocracy, which is very much to Huang Xing's thoughts. Although there are factions in the army, it does not affect the overall situation of unity. Unlike the previous provisional government, he, as the chief of the army, was unable to mobilize local troops in various localities at all. Now that Huang Xing signed the order, which commander of the army would dare to disobey? I don't want to do it almost.

When it came to the question of the Navy, all three of them stopped talking. This problem is a headache, and the navy is suspected of being a Fujian gang, but this is caused by historical problems. Since everyone didn't say it, Fang Jianxiong had no choice but to speak on his own.

"In this way, the Navy's personnel appointment authority will be transferred up to the Ministry of Defense, and the same will be true for the Army!" As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong glanced at Jiang Fangzhen, this guy is a gentleman, and said without thinking about it: "This is a good idea, so let's add a deputy minister of national defense, and Sa Lao will serve as it." "Originally, the General Staff had the right to appoint the commanders of various units, and even the commanders of large military regions only had the right to appoint commanders at the level of regiment commanders. Jiang Fangzhen's gentlemanly style can be seen. (To be continued.) )
