In September 2015, governments at all levels in Sichuan have been honed into shapes, and their work efficiency is getting higher and higher.

All the heavy industry projects have been launched, and light industry equipment from the United States has been loaded and sailed out of the West Coast ports for Shanghai.

The gentry of the province are now gathering in Chengdu to prepare to exchange their renminbi for shares in industrial and mining enterprises at the upcoming bidding meeting.

In the hills of eastern Sichuan, the mountainous areas of northern Sichuan, and the plains of western Sichuan, the millions of laborers who have left their hometowns are even more energetic. In a few months, the largest infrastructure project in Sichuan's history will come to an end: more than one road will be connected to each county, and many of the railways planned have already been dug up to build the roadbed, just waiting for the rails of the Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant to leave the factory.

If there is one group in the whole of Sichuan that is very unhappy, it is the soldiers of the regular army of the revolutionary army.

Workers, peasants, doctors, teachers, policemen, and all others are changing the land with their hands and sweat, while the revolutionary officers and soldiers, who are well paid and are the proudest in their hearts, can only practice day after day.

"Commander-in-Chief, give the order!"

"Commander-in-Chief, do it!"

Now as long as a military meeting is held, Xie Niancheng's ears are full of such voices.

Now, Xie Niancheng has finally put his focus back on the military.

Sichuan's bureaucratic system and economic system are already functioning normally, and it doesn't matter without Xie Niancheng at the helm. But soldiers, the country's major affairs, the use of soldiers, still have to Xie Niancheng to get ideas.

During this time, the Chinese Federation carried out the reorganization of army units. The establishment of the "army group" was abolished. At Xie Niancheng's strong request, the troops in Sichuan were renamed the "Sichuan Front Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army."

Xie Niancheng built the army with the idea of being a crack soldier, and the Sichuan Front Army directly organized three armies. A total of twenty-seven divisions.

1st to 9th Divisions, 10th to 18th Divisions, 19th to 27th Divisions.

Among them, the first, second, and third divisions are heavy divisions, and the fourth to ninth divisions are light divisions. There is also the 10th to 18th Divisions and the 19th to 27th Divisions that only exist on paper, which is a shelf division set up to train officers.

That is to say, the soldiers of the 1st to 9th Divisions are all those people, but the officers of the three divisions from squad platoon to division level are divided into one principal and three officers, and at the same time are equipped with the same number of staff officers and political workers, so on. When it comes time to expand the army, it can triple the size of the army in the shortest possible time.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions were organized into the First Army of the Sichuan Front. The three division commanders were Xu Geng (concurrently serving as the army commander), Peng De and Su Huaiyu.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions were organized into the Second Army of the Sichuan Front, and the three division commanders were Zhang Chengyue (concurrently serving as the army commander), Lin Sanhu, and Wu Yongqiang.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth divisions were organized into the Third Army of the Sichuan Front, and the three division commanders were Lin Xianyun (concurrently serving as the army commander), Su Wanyun and Xu Zhongjun.

Each corps commander also served as a division commander.

Xie Niancheng, commander-in-chief of the front army, Su Wei, director of the political department, and Huang Xue, chief of staff.

Wen Deyun, commander of the artillery division, Qingzi, director of the headquarters secretariat, and Zhang Mang, head of the headquarters guard regiment.

In addition, there is the Nanyang Column directly under the headquarters. Commander He Jin (water ghost). Deputy Commander Xana.

The overall structure of the armed forces is a three-three system, and the weaponry and equipment have been weakened compared with the past.

After the adjustment, there are 13,000 men in each heavy division and 7,000 in each light division, plus the headquarters and artillery divisions of the front army, and the entire front army has a total of more than 90,000 people.

In addition, the Chinese Military Academy was opened, and the principal was Xie Niancheng himself, and the vice principals were Wen Cheng and Zhao Jian.

At a meeting of senior military cadres on this day. The officers were clamoring again to get started.

It is not a bad thing that the officers and men have a high desire to fight.

"You have a point. This army does have to go through actual combat to become an iron army, but you all talk about it, let's fight, where are we going to fight? With whom to fight? ”

Xie Niancheng threw out a difficult question.

The provinces bordering Sichuan, Shaanxi in the northeast, Hubei and Hunan in the east, and Guizhou and Yunnan in the south, have all joined the federation. Gansu and Qinghai in the north, and Tubo in the west, are vast and sparsely populated, so poor that birds don't, what can they do when they are defeated?

Fighting a war is not a war for the sake of fighting.

But in order to be able to fight, the officers all opened their minds: "Commander-in-chief, now that the Socialist Northern Expeditionary Army is fighting hotly with the warlord troops on the Jinpu Line, let's send troops to help in the war." ”

"The secret religion on the Tibetan Plateau is plotting to secede from China, let's take Tibet famously!"

"Yunnan Cai Hua is dead, and now the successor Yunlong can't control the situation at all, and the people of Yunnan need us to stabilize the situation, Commander."

"Wang Lie's family in Guizhou said that it was a revolutionary army, but in fact it was an old warlord, isn't this kind of fake revolutionary army exactly what we need to annihilate?"

……

Everyone basically clicked on all the targets around them.

In the end, he focused his attention on Xie Niancheng.

As for how to expand the territory, Xie Niancheng has thought about it for a long time.

First of all, Tibet in the west is extremely important from a strategic location, but the current Esoteric religion is still only plotting to break away from China, and has not taken action.

Guizhou in the south is too poor, and the gains outweigh the losses when it is fought, so I will not consider it for the time being.

What Xie Niancheng wants is Yunnan and Gansu.

Yunnan is rich in minerals, and in Xie Niancheng's memory, Xichang and Panzhihua in the Sichuan-Yunnan border area have huge amounts of coal and iron, and there is copper in the old ones, and there is oil in Yumen, Gansu.

Chongqing's steel and coal are not enough for development.

Therefore, taking the Panxi region, Yunnan and Gansu is the most important task in Xie Niancheng's strategic planning in recent years.

Yumen is more than 3,000 miles away from Chengdu, but this is the nearest oil field that Xie Niancheng can think of.

In this era, China is still an "oil-poor country" and does not produce oil at all. But oil is too important, and without oil, what kind of armor are you doing? Air force? What petrochemical industry to develop?

According to Xie Niancheng's memory, there are large oil fields in Karamay, Daqing, Shandong and other places on the land of China. Unfortunately, these oilfields are more unrealistic than the Yumen oilfield.

After the officers finished speaking. Xie Niancheng said his plan: "I understand your feelings, our next target is the remnants of Liu Wuguang who are entrenched in the Xikang region. Go back and get ready, each of you. ”

Seeing off the officers, Xie Niancheng found Xu Wenchang.

"Wen Chang, I thought about it, and I think we should set up a 'strategic flickering bureau'."

"What?" Xu Wenchang was a little incomprehensible.

"Wen Chang, if our Sichuan continues to develop according to this trend, if others know the details. Then we are likely to be the target of public criticism. I want to hide the strength of our Sichuan, especially the output of heavy industrial products such as steel and coal, as well as the output of military products. ”

"That's what the commander-in-chief said. However, the name 'Strategic Fool Bureau' is too unpleasant. ”

"I'm inviting you over today, because I'm a little unsure of how to set up this situation. Are you in charge? Or will it be handed over to the Secret Service or the Confidential Bureau? ”

Su Die and Huang Yingjie himself are now in Chengdu.

Under the instruction of Xie Niancheng. Although the functions of the two bureaus overlap, they still have their own priorities. Comparatively speaking, Huang Yingjie's Secret Service pays more attention to the inside, and the Confidential Bureau pays more attention to the outside.

Xu Wenchang thought for a while, "Commander, this person doesn't need to be handed over to us. ”

"Why?"

"Commander, if you tell lies or make up lies, you can only be deceived for a while...... Think about it. With such a wide range of coverage, who do you leave it to make up? That's not a good fabrication either. ”

"Go on."

"I mean, what about us, we have a strict confidentiality system on our side, and all the numbers that need to be kept secret are set up at various levels, and whoever leaks the pursuit is responsible, so as to prevent the spread of news. Then, we will fund those who oppose us, and use their mouths to achieve what you want, Commander. ”

There is no shortage of opponents in the Sichuan government and Xie Niancheng.

In any case, there are so many lives in their hands.

At present, in newspapers and periodicals of all sizes in major cities outside the province, many people write articles every day to slander Sichuan's military and political reform. However, these people don't have much dry goods.

Think about it, if Sichuan sent someone to send them some numbers, saying that Sichuan's industrial reform was a failure, the so-called steel mills would not be able to produce steel themselves, and the iron produced as building materials could only make dangerous buildings.

To say that Sichuan's agricultural science and technology reform is all false, and that the so-called increase in yield per mu is completely to forcibly put a few acres of crops into one field.

The combat effectiveness of the revolutionary army in Sichuan is very weak, and the weapons sent by Germany have long been used up, and now the troops in Sichuan cannot fire a few bullets in half a year......

Then, those people will definitely be like a treasure and frantically attack Sichuan in the major media.

In this way, in the eyes of the warlords and powers of other provinces, Sichuan is a province that is reckless in military force, and naturally it will not be too defensive against Sichuan.

"What a clever plan, Wen Chang, it's wonderful."

"The commander-in-chief has praised it falsely, praised it falsely, the chief of the text is just a small skill of carving insects, and the commander-in-chief's strategy is the real material, my admiration for the commander-in-chief, that is ......"

"Stop, stop, it's up to you to discuss this matter with Director Su, and you must handle it well."

"Yes!"

Strategic flickering is no small matter.

Xie Niancheng remembered that there was once a huge red empire, which was fooled alive by the opponent.

The opponents of the Red Empire had nothing in their pockets, and at one moment they claimed to have developed some advanced weapons that were many years ahead of their time, and at one moment they sent people to shoot some "moon landing video" in the studio, and at another time they came up with some "Star Wars program", which caused the Red Empire to be extremely nervous, and invested all its domestic manpower and material resources in heavy industry and military industry, and finally turned its economy into a cripple and finally collapsed without a fight.

There is also a country that has "collapsed" for more than 30 years amid the flickering sound that "the government of a certain country is corrupt, the people are not able to make a living, there is gunpowder everywhere, and there is only a lack of people with umbrellas", with the result that the economy has increased dozens of times and its military strength has increased dozens of times.

These memories naturally made Xie Niancheng interested in strategic flickering.

If the Sichuan army conquers Yunnan in the next few years, recovers the Indochina Peninsula, and conquers Gansu in the north, it will not carry out strategic deception at the same time, but I am afraid that it will be attacked by a strong enemy too soon!

Xie Niancheng's evil name was not adopted, and in the end, under the secret discussion of Xu Wenchang and Su Die, the Confidential Bureau became a "strategic department", and the director was also an old acquaintance: Zhou Xingxing.

At the award ceremony for many years to come, Zhou Xingxing, who had not fired a single shot, was awarded the rank of major general, which also fully affirmed the great achievements made by the Strategy Department over the years. (To be continued......)
