Chapter 738: Concubinage

After some discussions between Zhang Tinglan and Jiang Baili, Zuihou basically finalized the plan for the reorganization of the army, and the first 13 divisions were used as field divisions, with the establishment of one division and three regiments, and an artillery regiment equipped with 54 105-mm howitzers, two antiaircraft artillery companies, and other auxiliary units, with a total number of about 16,000 people.

As a matter of fact, this kind of organization has been proposed by the Feng Army a long time ago, and the previous divisions were also organized in this way, but because the combat missions have changed greatly, it is sometimes necessary to temporarily organize brigades that have been abolished.

This time, however, since the overall situation has been basically determined, the field units only need to be in charge of the outside, so the establishment has been completely fixed. As the main force against the land threat of Russia and Japan, the 2nd, 6th, and 7th divisions were stationed in Outer Mongolia. The 3rd, 4th, 11th, 12th, and 13th divisions were stationed in the three eastern provinces and the first line of the Yalu River. The 5th and 8th divisions were stationed in the Far East, and the 9th and 10th divisions were stationed in Mukden as a reserve Liliang.

As for the first division, it was somewhat special, it was awarded the title of Guards Division, and the troops were expanded into a super-large number of three brigades and nine regiments, mainly responsible for the defense of the Beijing-Tianjin area.

This is also the result of Zhang Tinglan's lesson, when the country has not yet been unified and external troubles are still there, the capital must definitely garrison heavy and strong troops, so as to ensure safety.

After the situation in the country is completely stabilized, the First Division may also be adjusted, according to Zhang Tinglan's idea, he wants to build the First Division into a mechanized unit of the Feng Army, as the country's most powerful iron fist. However, for the time being, there is no such financial resources, so it can only be purely an idea.

In addition to these 13 fully established divisions, the other units will have to be reduced to varying degrees, and the second-line local garrison units will have a total of seven divisions, one division in each of the three provinces of Zhilu, Shandong, and Henan. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai arranged two divisions, as economic centers, and this number of troops was still a little weak. Zhang Tinglan also placed the newly established First Marine Division in Hangzhou, and at the same time could defend Shanghai.

With the reunification of most parts of the country, in the future, the main mission of the Chinese army is to recover the lost islands, and to compete with Japan and Britain and France in the South Seas, and this kind of battle is inseparable from the marines.

And Zhang Tinglan put this purely offensive liliang in the Yangtze River Delta, which is also very knowledgeable. According to common sense, in fact, this army should be placed in Fujian. For the purpose of attacking Taiwan. However, Zhang Tinglan did not do this, in fact, this has revealed deep strategic considerations.

If you want to recover Taiwan, who wants to be stupid enough to land on Taiwan, just attack the Ryukyus directly, in contrast. The Ryukyus are smaller in size and less difficult to attack. At the same time, the strategic location of the Ryukyus is far above Taiwan. Just take the Ryukyus. Taiwan does not need to fight at all, it is bound to return to China, so Zhang Tinglan put the Marine Corps in the Yangtze River Delta.

In addition, there are two garrison divisions placed in Hunan and Hubei, and the purpose is also very simple, that is, to protect this important industrial town in the central part of the country, and also to stabilize the central part.

Besides. Six backbone divisions and six rapid strike divisions were also trained, each of the six backbone divisions retained only more than 6,000 men, and only one infantry regiment, but the rest of the artillery and other jishu arms were about the same as the front-line troops.

But this basic master is also very knowledgeable. Each commander will be assigned two deputies, and if a big war breaks out, one regiment can become three regiments, like balloons, quickly inflated, and thrown into battle as fast as possible.

These six basic divisions are stationed in the Central Plains and Jiangnan and other areas close to the railway line in peacetime, and participate in the defense of local security in peacetime, but in wartime, they are rapidly expanding and maneuvering.

As for the six rapid strike divisions, they were designed to deal with the southwestern and Liangguang areas, which were relatively remote, and it took too much effort to mobilize large armies, and in terms of combat effectiveness, most of the warlords were scum and did not need to expend much energy at all.

Three of these six rapid strike divisions are trained in accordance with mountain troops, and each division has about 8,000 men, and it is imperative that they are well equipped, act quickly, and have strong striking capabilities; one division can easily defeat one emperor in peacetime, and two or three divisions have the ability to control a province.

As a result of this rectification, the Wehrmacht has a total strength of about 350,000 troops, and it can also quickly mobilize 200,000 troops.

After all, as a large country with a population of more than 400 million, it is not too much to maintain one or two million troops, and a little more army can not only be used for deterrence, but also solve some employment problems, which can be regarded as a way out for ordinary people.

In other words, the establishment of the army is basically like this, and the navy and air force still have to do some challenges, in which the navy will be divided into two fleets, one is called the Bohai Fleet, which will be based in Luda and Weihaiwei and other places, and will defend the industrial zones of Beijing and Tianjin and the three eastern provinces. The second is to be placed in the Yangtze River Delta area, as the East China Sea Fleet, and the defense area is in the southeast line. ”

"Well, let's do this for the time being, but when we can build warships, we will expand the South China Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet. One in the south and the other in Vladivostok, only in this way can a great wall of the sea be propped up. ”

Jiang Baili also nodded in agreement: "The problem of the air force is quite serious, and we currently have about 700 fighters in the air force, which seems to be far more than Japan and Russia. However, because of our vast territory, the large number of areas to be defended, and the fact that the air force also has to shoulder the task of coastal defense, we must vigorously expand the number of aircraft to at least 1,500, or even 2,000. However, considering the cost, the aircraft can not be equipped with new ones, the most haode fighters can be handed over to the front-line troops, and the slightly old aircraft can be reserved for the second-line pilots, but the number of the air force must be guaranteed. ”

This is also the difference between the air defense of a large country and a small country, a small country can build a small and refined air liliang, but a large country is absolutely not, and a sufficient number must be ensured.

"Brother Baili has a good idea, so let's do it according to this idea."

"To put it simply, this whole army will cost a lot of money, deducting the more than 200,000 more than 200,000 people who originally served the army, and more than 100,000 people will have to be expanded, of which some can be collected from the direct army, but a large number of them must also be recruited, and the original soldiers in the provinces must also be dismissed. This is not a small amount of money, the cabinet only promised to give 50 million, the gap is at least 30 million, in addition to the cost of weapons procurement, I estimate that it will not be possible without 100 million! ”

The army is a tiger that swallows gold, even if it is not reorganized, the money is like running water, this is only the army, and when the transformation of the Mackensen is completed, the aircraft carrier fleet will be pulled out. That's just burning money.

"Brother Baili, I just took back all kinds of privileges this year, and after next year, the financial gap will be greatly filled, and the investment in the army will also increase. As for this year's shortfall? It's up to me to figure out how to make sure that the big thing doesn't delay. ”

Jiang Baili heard this. Immediately laughed: "I know that all the troubles are in the hands of clumsy words." can be solved, the ability to turn stones into gold is not nonsense! ”

Jiang Baili said goodbye with a smile, and Zhang Tinglan also showed a wry smile, of course he didn't have the ability to turn stones into gold, but he just knew the general trend of history and was able to find an opportunity to make money. The Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan is getting closer and closer. This money is going to be paid to the Japanese.

When people were hit by a major earthquake and made a fortune by themselves, it seemed a little unpleasant, so they simply donated three heads and two hundred to the Japanese at that time. Then light a candle in the park and silently bless them to be stronger!

In fact, when he drove away Fred, Zhang Tinglan had already buried the idea of using the earthquake to make a big profit, and now that the funding gap is so big, it seems that he really has to fight the idea of the Japanese.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was planning how to make money, Jiang Baili had already announced the reorganization plan, who knew that all the generals of the Fengjun were fried at this time. This reorganization of the armed forces is completely different from previous military expansions. Jiang Baili had already made the principle clear that he was to lead troops in different places, and generals and soldiers were not allowed to belong to the same province or region.

In addition, officers at all levels must be rotated regularly, and no more than two years can be spent in any one unit. There is no doubt that doing so will be tantamount to completely breaking the situation of returning soldiers, and no one should try to pull up a small team.

There are many people who can't figure out this arrangement, so why should they rotate regularly, and what should they do if their combat effectiveness decreases? What to do if the command is not going well!

Of course, these are the reasons that can be said outside, and there are more people who are already pulling up their own small circles, but the dream was broken all of a sudden, and of course they can't be reconciled, so every day people go to Jiang Baili, Yang Yuting, Sun Anhu, and even Zhang Tinglan directly.

But Zhang Tinglan is so cunning, at this time, he will never block himself, whether he can figure it out or not, he has to listen to the arrangement honestly. Zhang Tinglan ran to Miyun Villa early, as early as a year ago, the family was going to come to Beijing, but just in time for the mutiny, until Zuihou and Japan and Britain finalized the agreement, it has been several months.

But it was already early summer, and the warm sunshine, the green grass, and a gentle breath of air were fragrant everywhere. Of course, this is only temporary, with the development of industrialization, the good air in the capital is only afraid that there will not be much time, so take advantage of the haode time to enjoy it more.

Zhang Tinglan personally took over the family, and after a few months of not seeing each other, the eldest girl grew a lot taller, but her face was still fat, pink and tender, as if she could squeeze out water, and a pair of big eyes, flickering, revealing full spirituality.

When I first met Zhang Tinglan, I was still a little recognized, but when Zhang Tinglan personally led a little pony and let the little girl ride on it and headed towards the villa, the little girl was immediately happy, and her bright eyes stared at the pony like a dog in front of her, which was simply a living baby.

There is also Zhang Luying, Zhang Xuehao is not easy to come back from Europe, so naturally he has to take Yu Fengzhi and the child over and have a good reunion, when he saw Zhang Tinglan carefully arranging Miyun Villa, Zhang Xueliang also unceremoniously occupied a courtyard.

It's just that I just robbed the house, and I forgot about other things, Zhang Tinglan also teased: "Han Qing, it's not that I don't prepare for my eldest niece, it's really that you, the father, are too careless." ”

Zhang Xueliang snorted, hugged Zhang Luying, let him ride on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Baby daughter, Dad will ride you as a horse, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Luying immediately smiled, Zhang Xueliang deliberately flipped his shoulders, and Zhang Luying's laughter became even clearer. Yu Fengzhi was a little disgusted: "Han Qing, don't always get used to children, otherwise you won't be able to take care of it." ”

Zhou Xinyao smiled slightly: "They are busy, and they don't see their children much throughout the year, so they can't just talk about it, just let them have fun." ”

"Hey, people say that they are strict fathers and mothers, why did they come to us, but let women sing black faces, and they are pure in front of their children!"

Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang took the children and ran at the forefront, while Zhou Xinyao and Yu Fengzhi accompanied Zhang Zuoxianghua Futian and others to follow behind.

Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't stop the smile on his face all the way: "Being able to get to this day is like a dream, Feng Zhi, although we are two families, but in fact, we are one family, if there is anything in the future, you will come to me directly, if Han Qing dares to do anything wrong, I will serve the family law." ”

Zhang Tinglan led the pony and took her daughter to the front of the villa, this villa was built in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, due to the reference to Western-style architecture, so the whole villa is full of foreign style, and at the same time with a strong oriental style, there is a fountain in the middle of the yard, and there are two rows of fish tanks more than one person high, in which huge koi fish swim back and forth.

"Big girl, what do you think of these fish?"

The eldest girl thought for a long time, tilted her little head and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, but she didn't expect her daughter to be a complete foodie, so she smiled and said: "Of course it's delicious, Dad will make you a sweet and sour fish!" ”

The eldest girl nodded proudly, Zhang Tinglan didn't care whether she burned the piano and boiled the crane or not, and sure enough, she picked the largest and fattest one and made a large plate of sweet and sour fish, and the family ate very happily.

In the evening, Zhang Zuoxiang called Zhang Tinglan over, the two sat opposite each other, Zhang Zuoxiang still clicked the cigarette pouch, and said after a while: "Humble words, you are also the vice president, put aside Li Yuanhong's waste, this country is all up to you, it stands to reason that Dad shouldn't say anything, but it's not good to hang some things." ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Of course it's your family affair, I'm satisfied with Xin Yao's daughter-in-law, but just a daughter-in-law is a little inappropriate, right? Sun Liechen told me about Xianrui, people have long tied their hearts to you, and now you are a lot older, so it's not good to delay. In addition, I heard that Qiao girl has also been with you for many years, the first few years you were still young, just playing, I don't want to say much, now that you have this identity, it is better to receive it home as soon as possible, otherwise there will be any changes, and your face will not look good. ”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded hurriedly: "Dad, if it weren't for one thing in a hurry, I would have wanted to talk to Xin Yao a long time ago, but I was afraid of hurting her heart!" (To be continued......)
