Chapter 336 Military Reform Plan

Adolf's secret meeting with Churchill was originally scheduled to take place in Luxembourg.

But due to the presence of a group of French partisans near Verdun, there was a lot of activity. For security reasons, Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, suggested that the Führer change the meeting to Frankfurt.

Director Mu did not know that it was precisely because of the activity of the "Inland Army" led by the French Communist Party, which was supported by the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency, that Himmler came to France in person, and finally prompted the change of the meeting place, which also caused the Sixth Military Intelligence Agency to miss an opportunity to obtain important information.

The convening of the Frankfurt Conference put the Han Empire on the diplomatic level, and the actions of the entire Allied army were tied hand and foot. Unless...... The Han Emperor could ignore international pressure and forcibly land in Britain.

But both Mussolini and Franco, and even the Turkish Inonu openly welcomed the emergence of a dawn of peace. This time, the Germans stood on the side of righteousness, and many countries that were forced into the war were willing to end the war as soon as possible, and even the old fascist Mussolini changed his face in time because of the domestic turmoil and disillusionment with the revival of the glory of the Roman Empire.

The "Overlord" operation, which was already able to hope for victory, suddenly became difficult to move an inch. The more than two million Allied forces assembled at the mouth of the Betanthos River on the west coast of Spain were caught in a dilemma.

And with so many troops stationed in Spain, Franco also began to complain a little.

However, Weiyang Palace did not issue new orders for a long time, neither allowing the Allies to retreat, nor the exact time for the implementation of the "Overlord" operation. The army was assembled but hidden, and Jiang Yunzhi, who had always been calm, gradually became irritable.

In this way, the time was pushed to mid-May 1943.

The Far Eastern Front under the command of Marshal Ye Weixun in the north gradually began to retreat, and the construction of permanent fortifications began on the ceasefire line agreed upon by the two sides in the Treaty of Harbin.

Governor Huolu of the Beihai Governor's Office also began to formally perform his duties, and with the assistance of the Xinhua Northeast Bureau, properly resettled the Chinese immigrants scattered to the countries of the Far East and a large number of forcibly relocated Dongying pioneer groups, mainly Koreans and Japanese.

Squeezing ethnic Russians and completely yellowing Siberia is the first step in Weiyang's plan to transform Siberia. Whether it is the indigenous Mongols or the Koreans and Japanese of the pioneer groups, they will be forced to learn Han culture.

Speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters was a prerequisite for finding better jobs in the Saha, Evenki, and Beihai governors. Chinese is equivalent to an undergraduate diploma in Siberia, don't know Chinese? Gotta go and see if the miner next to you is still recruiting!

The General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Front was also moved to Chita after many talks between Wilson and Fu Chunlei. All factories in the three eastern provinces will be handed over to the new Chinese government in their original state.

On May 17, at the enlarged meeting of the wartime Military Commission held by Wei Qingge, His Majesty officially announced that he would remove Ye Weixun from the post of commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front Army and become the chief of the general staff of the Imperial Army.

Of course, after the implementation of the reform program of the imperial army, this chief of general staff has shrunk a lot of power compared to the times of Ye Zhiqiu and Jiang Yunzhi. In the past, both General Ye and General Jiang could be called the deputy commander of the Imperial Army and the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The General Staff is the leading organ of all branches of the Imperial Army.

In this plan for the institutional reform of the imperial army, the imperial army headquarters was divided into four headquarters and the Ministry of National Defense, except that the Han Emperor was still the supreme commander of the imperial army. Among them, the four general departments are: the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, and the General Armament Department.

The four general departments are all stationed in the Weiqing Pavilion, which is the permanent organ of the Imperial Army High Command, and is in charge of the military, political, logistical and equipment work of the whole army. It is necessary to ensure the realization of the strategic decisions of the high command on operations and army building and the realization of various principles and policies.

The General Staff is still an important command organ of the Imperial Army, responsible for organizing and leading the military construction of the Imperial Armed Forces and organizing and directing the military operations of the Imperial Armed Forces. It has operational departments, intelligence, communications, military training, military affairs, mobilization, equipment, confidentiality, surveying and mapping, foreign affairs, management, and various arms of the armed forces.

In other words, the leading organs of the empire have a more detailed division of labor, and the ideological and political, logistical supply, and equipment support work are all separated, and the General Staff is only responsible for the construction of the army at all levels and the command of military operations.

Jiang Yunzhi once said with a smile to Ye Shuai: "When Zhiqiu and I were the chief of the General Staff, we were both fathers and mothers, not only in charge of army expansion, fighting, but also eating, drinking, and Lazar. You, the general staff, will be easy, and you will be the master when you come up - there is a group of children and family members below! ”

In addition to Ye Shuai, the high-ranking chief of the general staff, the commanders of the other three headquarters are also imperial generals.

The first seven marshals of the empire were all members of the Supreme Command, and did not serve as commanders of a specific army except in wartime.

In this package, the marshals with the highest prestige in the military system would be separated from the troops, and the marshals would not have access to a specific unit except during the war.

Rising brightly and descending darkly, Zhong Yi's idea is very simple. When a military general reaches a certain level of prestige or threatens the authority of the royal family, he is promoted to marshal and removed from the combat unit. Without military power, there is no threat; No threat, no killing.

Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a glass of wine, Zhu Yuanzhang bombarded the champion building, and even ...... In every dynasty and generation in Chinese history, the founding fathers were often the greatest threat to imperial power.

In Dahan, this problem does not exist. The absolute loyalty of the Red Guard Corps to the Supreme Commander has avoided the tragedy that we can share hardships and hardships, but we cannot sit in harmony with pleasure and harmony.

But the Red Police Base will run out of energy and enter dormancy in two years, Zhong Yi doesn't know if the attributes of the Red Police Legionnaires will change after the base is dormant, and more importantly, after having a son, Zhong Yi suddenly thinks more.

Once, His Majesty and Director Mu had a drunken conversation, and Zhong Yi suddenly said, "I miss the time when there was only one regiment of brothers at the base."

That time, Director Mu was silent, because when the Red Police Force only had one regiment, there was no him!

But everyone overlooked one point, there were more and more troops, the empire was getting stronger and stronger, and the Red Guard Corps had not changed much. In the minds of all Guards Legionnaires, loyalty to the Supreme Commander remained their only being.

What has changed is actually Zhong Yi!

I don't know how long it has been, but His Majesty never mentioned him as an armored ensign again.

I don't know when, but His Majesty, who has four concubines, still interprets love into affectionate romance.

For those big people who once revered and looked up, His Majesty can slap the table and scold angrily; Long live the mountain of the people and soldiers, Your Majesty can also deal with it calmly.

After being scolded and reprimanded by His Majesty on the phone, Qian Zhihao, the governor of Nanyang, once expressed his grievances to Director Mu: Your Majesty has scolded me countless times before, but every time I scold, I still call the boss with a smile, and I have never had any resentment in my heart. It's just that now, I feel that Your Majesty is so far away from us, and I can't shout that "boss" anymore.

Mu Yu also tactfully relayed these words to His Majesty, perhaps because what Director Mu said was too "vague", and His Majesty never made any statement.

Money and power are both the things that can confuse and change a person the most.

Can you not lose yourself in the face of the supreme imperial power, is there such a person in this world? If there is, there will be no change in Xuanwumen, fratricide; If there were, it would not be cold-blooded and ruthless.

At the very least, the loyalty of the Red Guard Corps to the Supreme Commander can make the process of the rise of a great power and the rise of the Han Dynasty, although it is still bloody, but it is less tragic.

The process of reforming the military institutions of the Han Imperial Army did not have the cruelty of the Great Purge and Purge; There are no secret police and internal feuds of shame. It's just that in His Majesty's serious and cold gaze, it is carried out according to the rules.

Admiral Chen Shukang took over the post of Marshal Ye Weixun, and the Far Eastern Front of the Grand Alliance was also renamed the Great Han Northern Naval Regiment. It was also during this meeting that the names of the Four Governors and the Imperial Overseas Legions began to circulate widely.

Dongying Governor Quanguo Lin, Nanyang Governor Qian Zhihao, Western Regions Governor Shui Mo, Beihai Governor Huo Lu.

Commander of the Dongying Army Ishihara Waner (Japanese), Commander of the Nanyang Army Sugawei (East Indians), Commander of the Western Regions Army Wen Jinyong (Vietnamese), and Commander of the Northern Naval Regiment Chen Shukang.

Among them, Ink became one of the four governors because of his outstanding performance in the African campaign, and the commander of the Nanyang Army, Sujiawe, was captured by the American army in the Battle of Gilahiya, and after the Han-Mei Hawaii negotiations began, the old man Cao Rulin, under the instruction of His Majesty, insisted that the United States must release General Sujiawei to show sincerity before the negotiations could be opened.

In the end, two lieutenant generals of the American army were exchanged for Su Jiawei, who was only a major general when he was captured. After regaining his freedom, Sugarway became the first general in the overseas legion to be awarded the Golden Dragon Medal, and was promoted to lieutenant general and became the commander of the Nanyang Legion.

As for the commander of the Northern Naval Regiment, Admiral Chen Shukang was appointed because although there was an armistice with the Soviet Union, the Imperial Army still needed to have enough troops in Siberia to maintain the deterrent effect against the Soviet Red Army. In addition, in the process of "yellowing" Siberia, it was no longer possible to have ethnic Russians as commanders of corps.

After this meeting, it became customary for officers from Red Guard soldiers to serve as the four overseas governors of the Empire.

The Overseas Legion became a permanent unit of the Imperial Army, and its soldiers also enjoyed the same allowances and benefits as the soldiers of the 13th Legion of the Han Dynasty.

This was a reward for the heroic performance of the colonial troops in a series of battles, and it also became one of the important means for the empire to win the hearts and minds of the people of the colonial region.

Since the beginning of the meeting, he has been in a state of "counting tea stalks", and Marshal Jiang Yunzhi, who did not dare to face the eager gaze of Director Leng not far away, listened very vigorously at first, but it was not until His Majesty announced a number of appointments that he realized that something was wrong!

"No, this is a good reform of the military structure, and the establishment of the overseas legion is also very timely. But the problem is that this is not a time of peace! More than two million Allied troops are still throwing in Spain? Speaking of which, why is there no content about the Atlantic operation? ”
