In order to be foolproof, to be precise, to make himself more at ease, Li Yongji began to call the supervisors at all levels of the domestic army frequently after he became suspicious of Shen Shiming.

The purpose of this is to confirm the current situation of the Imperial Army, especially the current situation of the Imperial Guard, the real Optimus Prime in the Imperial Army!

Among them, Li Yongji is most concerned about whether anyone will take the initiative to contact and instigate these senior officers, or in other words, who among these middle and senior officers is no longer very reliable.

After a whole series of telephone inquiries, Li Yongji finally slowly put his mind at ease, because he didn't hear anything unusual from the mouths of those middle and high-ranking officers, he didn't feel that these people were any different from the past, and he didn't hear that any outsiders went to the barracks to take the initiative to get close to them.

One or two high-ranking members of the army may deceive Li Yongji, but the army is a self-contained organization, especially the Praetorian Guard, which is a special existence that even the State Council cannot command, and has great independence and autonomy.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for such a relatively isolated armed organization to be influenced by outsiders, especially the Praetorian Guard, even if a very small number of people have other ideas, but it is impossible to quietly encourage the entire army to rebel.

The biggest problem was that the Janissary's radio was popularized to the company level, and every company-level department could directly talk to Li Yongji, thus avoiding the occurrence of blindness.

In addition, the camp of the Praetorian Guard also has a local area broadcasting system, and the highest authority of these systems is actually in the hands of Li Yongji, who can force the broadcast system to be turned on at any time and broadcast his speech to the entire barracks, so that his voice can be directly transmitted to the ears of every soldier of the Praetorian Guard, so that every soldier can get his own accurate instructions.

In order to shield such a system, it is necessary to disconnect all LAN systems, but the problem is. This local area broadcasting system is a subsystem, and each battalion headquarters has a subsystem similar to a relay station.

Therefore, if you want to deceive Li Yongji, you can't do it unless you deceive all the battalion-level broadcasting systems in the army and buy all the communicators, but that is obviously impossible.

The reason why it is impossible is that the troops that master the communications system are special organizations independent of the command system of the troops, and they belong to the departments directly under the command of Li Yongji. It is not subject to the constraints of superiors in other departments.

In addition to the independence of personnel, there are also great technical limitations, because the broadcasting systems of the Janissaries are all digital, and remote control can be realized, and when necessary, as long as the power is not interrupted, Li Yongji can use his highest authority to forcibly control these broadcasting systems by remote control, so as to achieve the purpose of spreading his voice.

Perhaps. If there is a real rebellion, you can buy the communicator in advance and cut off the power of the entire army's broadcasting system.

Well, that's a good idea. But once this happens, not to mention the degree of difficulty, even if it is true, it will inevitably cause the whole army to be on alert. Under such circumstances, the orders of the higher commanders could not be issued smoothly, and it was impossible for the whole army to follow the orders and move out of the barracks.

Other words. If the Praetorian Guard wants to rebel, unless all the company-level officers of the army agree, then there is a slight possibility, as long as one person is dissatisfied and uses his own communication system to directly report to Li Yongji in advance, then the rebellion will end without a hitch.

Everyone knows that in such a matter as plotting a rebellion, the fewer people there are, the better, and the more people there are, the greater the probability of bad things.

Therefore, although Li Yongji's set of things is not foolproof, because of the limitations of the times, his method of personnel independence and technical encryption is still very effective, at least at present, it seems to be quite effective.

It is precisely because of this effective supervision system and radio communication system that the possibility of rebellion by the Praetorian Guard is minimized, and even if one or two high-ranking officers have different intentions, the people around him will not do anything with him, but are likely to arrest him in advance and ask for credit.

Originally, the loyalty of the Praetorian Guard was reassuring enough, but because in the past, the Praetorian Guard could accept the leadership of the Internal Affairs Office, and Shen Shiming and others could also influence the Internal Affairs Bureau, so out of caution, Li Yongji simply added another insurance.

From now on, if the Praetorian Guard wants to be mobilized, Li Yongji must personally call and give an order, in addition, that is, anyone other than the emperor himself wants to transfer the Praetorian Guard, he must first come to ask Li Yongji, and only with Li Yongji's approval, let them really hear Li Yongji's voice, the Praetorian Guard can be dispatched.

In addition to this, Li Yongji also ordered the Praetorian Guards to enter the third-level alert from now on, that is, to give up all vacations, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the military restricted area except for the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard.

This military restricted zone includes many places, such as the 110 Special Economic Zone, the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Complex and other key units carefully built by Li Yongji, all within the scope of this military restricted zone.

Suffice it to say, once on alert level 3, even the Wehrmacht is not allowed to enter the restricted military zone, otherwise it will be dealt with a powerful blow of undeclared war.

In this, Li Yongji focused on the members of the royal family such as King Yi, the Empress, and the Emperor Taishang, and also mentioned Shen Shiming and other senior administrative officials, saying that except for his own personal order to lift the ban, no one is allowed to enter the military restricted area during this period, except for the Praetorian Guard and the insiders of these special units.

This meant that during this period, these military exclusion zones would become independent areas, not subject to the administrative jurisdiction of the Empire, and would be a state within a state. On the contrary, the supplies demanded in the military restricted zone must be met to the letter.

After all, in the military restricted area controlled by the Praetorian Guard, not only the largest scientific research institution in the empire is currently in control, but also the largest arsenal, steelworks, iron works, coal mines and other units, and these units either rely on the Yangtze River shipping or have railways, and they are completely self-contained industrial and commercial complexes.

In other words, more than ninety percent of the current heavy industry in the Chinese Empire is concentrated in the military restricted area controlled by the Praetorian Guard, and this military restricted area mainly refers to the iron and steel complex set up by Li Yongji in Ma'anshan, the coal chemical complex in Guangde County, and the 110 Special Economic Zone.

In other words, the heavy industrial areas of the Chinese Empire currently mainly refer to the two points near Ma'anshan and Guangde County, and there are already railways between the two points. This area is also a military exclusion zone.

Among them, the coal chemical industry and the 110 special zone in Guangde County were the first to be built, and the reason why they were built in this relatively remote place in this era is mainly because there are high-quality and easy-to-mine coal mines here, and the geographical location extends in all directions, but it is sparsely populated and relatively hidden.

Anyway, for China at this time, there are too few people with scientific literacy, and even if scientific research institutions are built in big cities, it may not be much better.

On the contrary, because Li Yongji can move the entire factory. It's the kind of situation where the foundation is moved along with it, so what he needs more is secrecy.

Therefore, only the sparsely populated and resource-rich places are the most suitable places for Li Yongji to choose, which is why Guangde County, to be precise, the suburbs of Guangde County can be selected.

Of course, limited by the location of the area and the size of the factories transported, the overall scale of Guangde County's coal chemical system and the 110 Science and Technology Park is not large, at least according to modern society. It's not big, that is, the level of a domestic township enterprise plus a third-rate university.

However, in this era, in China, and even in the world, the coal chemical system in Guangde County and the 110 Science and Technology Park are well-deserved advanced associations. Not only is the advanced technology well-deserved to be the first in the world, but also the production capacity is the first in the world.

Moreover, because Guangde County is sparsely populated at this time, it is also relatively easy to control. The final result is the 110 Science and Technology Park, which is centered on the Guangde County Coal Chemical Plant and continues to expand outward. It became a real military exclusion zone, with bunkers and barbed wire fences everywhere, and Janissary officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere.

In this vicinity, outsiders who enter the area outside the barbed wire fence without permission will be warned to leave, and if they do not heed the advice, they will enter the area inside the barbed wire fence and will not be allowed to pass on the designated road, and they can be shot without a notice.

In the beginning, this kind of shooting without a declaration had already happened twice, and many more cases were expelled. Faced with this situation, the families of the victims did not receive the slightest compensation, and there was nothing to justify, and even the surrounding people did not feel that there was anything wrong with the guards in doing so.

After so many incidents, the common people knew that this neighborhood was a place where no one was allowed to enter, so no outsiders took the initiative to approach it again.

As for the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Complex, it was built later, and its main body is a medium-sized iron and steel mill with integrated ironmaking and steelmaking and an arsenal connected to the steel mill.

At present, the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Complex not only produces a wide range of steel products with excellent performance in this century, but is also the only supplier of weapons to the Wehrmacht, one of the main suppliers to the Janissail, and the only source of exported weapons.

Therefore, mastering the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Complex is equivalent to mastering ninety percent of the iron and steel products and ninety percent of the arms supply of the Chinese Empire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the fundamental lifeblood of the imperial army.

There is no doubt that because of the importance of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Complex, it is also under the full control of the Praetorian Guard, and like the industry in Guangde County, it belongs to Li Yongji's personal property, not to the imperial government, and is a veritable imperial property.

At the beginning, Li Yongji let the Praetorian Guards control these places, not because he thought that someone might rebel at the beginning, but because of his subconscious behavior, after all, these places are too sensitive, and many of the equipment in them, and even the entire factory are brought from modern times, and Li Yongji doesn't want too many outsiders to come into contact with them.

But now it seems that this decision is really fantastic, because in doing so, it is equivalent to giving the Janissaries control the most critical heavy industry and army. Fire supply, whoever wants to rebel will not be able to withstand it in endurance.

In Li Yongji's view, it doesn't matter what big cities like Nanjing and Shanghai are, as long as the Praetorian Guards firmly grasp the two heavy industrial bases of Ma'anshan and Guangde County, and grasp the supply points of weapons, then even if all the national defense forces rebel, he is not afraid.

After all, the current Chinese army has fully entered the era of firepower supremacy, without logistical support, especially the support of ammunition, no rebel can last, not to mention, since it is a rebellion, it is impossible to really let everyone follow, at most it means to serve a small part of the national defense force, except for a surprise, it is not a climate at all.

However, the Imperial Praetorian Guard was later divided into three armies and subordinated to three military regions due to different strategic purposes, namely the Beijing Military Region under the First Army, the Jinan Military Region under the Second Army, and the Suzhou Military Region under the Third Army.

At present, the main force of the First Army led by Zhou Da is scattered throughout the Northeast to suppress the situation in the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula, while the main force of the Second Army is now stationed in Ili after quelling the rebellion with the commander-in-chief Wang Sanwu, with the purpose of suppressing the local area and monitoring the Russians; Only the Third Army of the Suzhou Military Region under the command of Zhang Wei still stayed firmly in the area south of the Yangtze River.

That is to say, in the current situation, there is only one Janissary unit controlling the military restricted area, the Third Army of the Suzhou Military Region, and although the overall combat strength is still very strong, the strength of the troops is slightly insufficient, and in addition, it has to be scattered and stationed in various parts of the Yangtze River, and the military strength retained in the military restricted area is even weaker.

For this reason, Li Yongji on the one hand was for the sake of stability, and on the other hand, it was also for the purpose of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and after discovering that there was nothing abnormal in the Praetorian Guard, he successively issued many new orders to the Praetorian Guard troops.

In Li Yongji's new order, except for the Second Army, which was far away in Ili, did not move for the time being, the Janissaries in the northeast immediately shrank, and then all the rest of the troops moved south, except for one regiment in Beijing, to join the Third Army at Ma'anshan.

In addition, the Third Army, which was distributed throughout the Jiangnan region, was completely downsized, and the main forces were all shrunk in the areas of Nanjing, Ma'anshan, and Guangde County, and even Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and other large cities were all abandoned in order to achieve this goal.

Before this troop transfer order, Li Yongji first issued an order for the transfer of senior generals, that is, Zhang Wei, the former commander of the Third Army, was transferred to Beijing to be the commander of the First Army, and Zhou Da, the former commander of the First Army, was asked to be the commander of the Third Army.

In short, in this large-scale Praetorian Guard troop transfer operation, Li Yongji not only notified their supreme commanders, that is, Zhou Da and Zhang Wei, but also directly notified the company-level officers below to ensure the perfect execution of the order, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

From this aspect, it can be seen that Li Yongji already has a trace of distrust in Zhang Wei, who has been sitting in Jiangnan for a long time, and is afraid that Zhang Wei will make some trouble, so he will change the commander first, and then transfer troops along the way, of course, if Zhang Wei himself has no problem, this can also make him more vigilant, after all, this is a horizontal transfer, and it is not demeaning, and even after Zhang Wei went to the First Army, the territory controlled was larger.

There is no doubt that although Li Yongji directly gave an order to the Praetorian Guards and did not need to go to the State Council, such a big action would definitely not be hidden, and it would definitely make people with a heart panic.

As long as people are panicked, it is easy to show their feet, if they can dispel some unrealistic ideas, it is the best, if not, then Li Yongji can also make himself invincible in advance by doing this.

Of course, if all this is Li Yongji's own suspicion, and things are not as bad as Li Yongji guessed, then there is no harm in doing so, at least he can train the soldiers, and by the way, it is not bad to scare and scare some people. (To be continued......)
