After all, this is related to the vital interests of millions of soldiers of several bigwigs, around this problem the old man and the local warlords have negotiated and fought, but it is still not resolved, but the number of warlords has decreased a lot, like the previous Guizhou army, Hunan army, Hubei army, Guangdong army, Northeast Army, Northwest Army The demise of the demise of the decline of the decline of the domestic warlords is only left in the Gui system, the Sichuan system, the Yunnan system, the Jin Sui system, the Northwest Erma, and Chen Feng's Saibei systemNow that Chen Feng took over the Jin Sui Army, there are only 5 groups left of the local warlords.

However, which of the remaining 5 Junfa groups is not a general force with hundreds of thousands of troops, and it may not be so easy to solve the problem of military power.

In the opinion of He Yingqin and others, it is unwise for Chen Feng to raise this issue at the moment, and it is necessary to know that the sensitivity of this issue can be much higher than which of the previous questions. In their opinion, Chen Feng's most correct choice is to come to power first, and then talk about anything else after stabilization, because at that time, he can transform his will into the will of the country whatever he wants, and the resistance is relatively much smaller.

"Solemn, although what you said is very reasonable, but now the disadvantages are too deep, and it is probably impossible to solve this problem for a while, or let's put this problem aside first?" He Yingqin said with a frown.

Chen Feng replied: "Minister He, I know what you mean, it is nothing more than shelving the dispute, taking over the power first, and talking about the rest later." But I fear that if we don't take this opportunity now, we won't have that time or that opportunity. Everyone in the current room must know that the Japanese army has won a decisive victory in the Southeast Asian theater. The United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands were completely defeated, Thailand completely fell to Japan, and Australia was precarious, even if it was estimated in the most optimistic attitude, it would take at least half a year to a year for the United States and Britain and other countries to return to the Southeast Asian battlefield, and it would take at least two years for a counteroffensive, that is, we would need to face the Japanese army alone with 3.5 million heavy troops in two years! ”

"According to reliable sources, the Japanese army has transferred a large number of troops from Southeast Asia to the Chinese battlefield, and the Japanese government has issued the fourth national mobilization order. The total strength of its army, navy and air force has exceeded 3 million. If you count the local police and other military departments, the total number of troops will not be less than 3.5 million, do you think China can stand up to Japan's 3.5 million troops alone for a year? ”

"If nothing happens to you, this may be possible. War is a test of national endurance. At this point, it's already a matter of who has the stronger endurance. If nothing happens to the commission. Then we can still support ourselves by gritting our teeth, even if we are beating him for ten or eight years, it doesn't matter, China is still China. Can't die! ”

"But now that something has happened to the commission, this is a major blow to the entire country and all nationalities, and now the commission has not mourned, it can be expected that once we publicly mourn, the whole country will fall into chaos in a short period of time, and some guys who are not firm in the will to resist the war will definitely shake their confidence, and even there will be treason against the enemy, whether they can hold out until the United States and Britain counterattack is really unknown, so if I am the heir, then the army must be reformed! This is the premise! ”

Chen Feng said categorically, without the slightest hesitation, which made the bigwigs in the conference room look at each other! Secretly Dao, this young man is too strong to do things, does he want to bring the Gui family, the Yunnan family and the Sichuan army all under the government! This is simply a fantasy, not to mention others, it is impossible for Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Long Yun and others in the conference room to agree.

"Solemn, what exactly do you mean by army reform? Is all the military power returned to the central government? Li Zongren asked with a frown.

"Yes and no!"

Chen Feng's answer made everyone frown, it was too vague, isn't it the same as not saying it!

Chen Feng then explained: "In my opinion, a strong country must have a strong army, there is no doubt about it. In addition, I myself believe that under no circumstances can the army become the private army of a certain person, and the army can only belong to the state. ”

"The core of my military reform is the nationalization of the armed forces, and the nationalization of military personnel, especially senior officers. I believe that the current CMC is just an empty shelf, that the entire army is in the hands of individual generals, and that the CMC has very limited binding power on the generals who command the armed forces abroad, so it is necessary to rebuild the CMC and have a senior officer at the rank of general serve as a member of the CMC, and in the future the CMC will become the highest decision-making organ of the armed forces in the whole country. ”

"At the same time, it is necessary to reorganize the armed forces of the whole country, including the army in Yan'an, all officers and soldiers, some of the central army, local armies, and miscellaneous armies, all of whom will be treated equally. The whole country implements the establishment of large corps. Of course, this does weaken the power of some people, but it is a new life for the whole country and nation. ”

Li Zongren frowned and said: "Brother Solemn, it seems that this plan of yours is difficult to implement, the distribution of power involved is too complicated, and the troops on the Yan'an side are also included, I'm afraid that the other side will not agree!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask a question, what are you soldiers for? Is it the glory and wealth of an individual, or is it for the sake of the country and the nation? ”

It was Bai Chongxi who answered Chen Feng's words, and Bai Chongxi, one of the three giants of the Gui warlords, got up and said: "Brother solemn, if you want to say that you have authority over the country and the nation, it is nonsense, and we can't reach that realm." My answer is that it is both, that is, for the sake of personal glory and wealth, and also for the sake of the country and the nation. ”

"Then let me ask you another question, are you going to be the emperor?" Chen Feng asked again.

"After the Xinhai Revolution, the national republic has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and being an emperor is just self-destruction, and Yuan Shikai is a living example, so I don't think anyone dares to risk the world's disapproval to be the emperor!" It was He Yingqin who spoke.

"Isn't this over, as long as you are not the emperor, then it is easy to say, everyone holds the military power in their hands, in addition to contributing to the country and the nation, they are also worried about their own interests being damaged. It's easy to do, I can ensure the interests of all in exchange for the nationalization of the army! Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Oh, how to make sure?" Now everyone is energetic, and they all want to know what Chen Feng plans to do.

Chen Feng said: "I think everyone cares about nothing more than power and money, first of all, the nationalization of the army does not mean that all senior officers will lose their military power, after the nationalization of the army is completed, the country will be established on the basis of the current 5-7 theaters, each exhibition area has jurisdiction over 2-3 corps, all the senior officers who really understand the command of the operation will be entrusted with important tasks, as the commander of the theater or the commander of the corps, but when the troops are transferred in the future, they need to ask for instructions from the higher departments of Lu for the record." Of course, those wine bags, rice bags, wine and meat generals must not be able to use them anymore, such as Jiang Dingwen and others! ”

Then Chen Feng continued: "After talking about money, if you have military power, you will have money, this sentence is not wrong at all in today's era, but what really makes money is doing business, not being the king of the mountain, I think although Chairman Degong and Long have been in charge of a province for decades, there is not much silver that can really be put into their pockets every year!" ”

Li Zongren said with a smile: "This sentence is really right, don't look at the Gui army in charge of one province in Guangxi, and the other has been stationed in southern Anhui for a long time, which can be regarded as controlling most of Anhui, but due to the war, the annual tax collection is very limited, and even the expenses of the army cannot be maintained. ”

Long Yun also said: "To say that in the past few years, there was really a lot of silver every year, not to mention millions of oceans, when the year was good, it could reach tens of millions of oceans, but in recent years, it has not worked, building roads, promoting education, etc. ”

Chen Feng said: "You only pay a part of it every year, and I spend at least tens of billions of dollars in Saibei Province every year, if I simply calculate from the money I have invested in Saibei Province in the past few years, I am afraid that I can buy most of Southeast Asia, so I have a deep understanding of these things." ”

"The reason why I said that I can guarantee the interests of officers such as the Gui Army, the Dian Army, and the Ma Jiajun is because I know how to make money, even if you don't have military power in your hands, I myself will guarantee to allocate a large amount of silver to you every year to ensure that you are not short of money to spend! In addition, the Chen family can partner with you to do business and ensure your financial interests! So, as long as you don't plan to be emperors, I think the nationalization of the army is still very promising! ”

After Chen Feng finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone was thinking about what Chen Feng had just said. As Chen Feng said, supporting the army and respecting oneself is just for power and money, as long as these wishes are satisfied, even if all the military power is handed over, there is nothing wrong with it!

However, there are also many people who doubt whether Chen Feng can fulfill the economic benefits he promised, after all, holding the military power in his hands is still very down-to-earth in this troubled world, which is equivalent to taking a gold medal to avoid death, as long as there are soldiers, as long as there are no treason, no one will hold on to some small things. Once you don't have the power to fight, who cares if you used to be that.

"Solemn, do you have a specific plan?" Li Zongren asked.

"I was in too much of a hurry and didn't make a detailed plan, but I had a general idea in mind. Take your Gui Army as an example, in order to build this army, you have all paid a lot, including your own youth, so for all the officers above the division level in the Gui Army, the government will give a one-time compensation, the division-level officers are 200,000 oceans, like Degong and a few of you are at least 100 million US dollars, in addition, I will take out 1 billion US dollars to form a huge company, invite you people to join the shares, and guarantee a large amount of dividends every year! ”

Chen Feng was talking about a ransom-like scheme, in which the government would pay a staggering amount of compensation to senior generals as long as they were willing to surrender their military power. Chen Feng believes that in the face of such a huge amount of money, no one can be indifferent. (To be continued......)
