"Lan Shuai, how many cannons are you going to make?" Jiang Fangzhen asked with a smile: "I really want to know how much I can worth." ”

"Mr. is a great talent, if Yushuai is willing to release people, I will give him eighteen cannons, there is nothing remarkable!"

As soon as Jiang Fangzhen heard this, he immediately became hahadaxiao, and couldn't help but say: "A cannon is almost more than 5,000 catties, and eighteen cannons are 100,000 catties. But Lan Shuai is willing to pay such a high price, what do you want Jiang to do? ”

"The Fengjun army is expanding its army by a large margin, and it urgently needs a large number of military talents, especially middle- and lower-ranking officers who have received military school education. In recent years, Fengtian Lecture Wutang has also been expanding its enrollment, but after all, the school has been running for a short time, and the accumulated talents are far from enough. I would like to ask you to sit in the martial arts hall and expand military academy education, recruit talents from all walks of life, and train more qualified officers for the Feng army. ”

Zhang Tinglan went straight to the point, put forward his own idea, and asked Jiang Fangzhen to really lead the troops to fight, Zhang Tinglan was not at ease, but there was absolutely no problem in letting him engage in military academy education and train qualified officers. Moreover, Jiang Fangzhen is not good at running a small circle, so even if he is put in charge of the military academy, he will not come up with a faction, which is where Zhang Tinglan is most assured.

Jiang Baili didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to meet for the first time, so he took the initiative to recruit himself, which was really unexpected. But he saw the changes in Mukden, and he knew the ambition of the Feng army to recover the Outer Northeast. Jiang Fangzhen can be sure that the Feng army is a very promising army and worthy of service.

He couldn't help but think for a while, and then said with a smile: "Lan Shuai, entrusted by others, loyal to people." Yushuai asked me to procure arms. This matter must be dealt with first, and in addition, I can be regarded as revisiting the old place, take a good look at the changes in Mukden, and know in my heart, what to do in the future, let's talk about it next. ”

Although Jiang Fangzhen did not agree, his tone was obviously loose, as long as he worked harder, he was expected to pull Jiang Fangzhen over completely, and Zhang Tinglan was also very happy in his heart. He said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, since you want to know about the situation in Fengtian, then I will issue you a special pass, and you can freely enter and exit some key military industrial enterprises and army camps to learn about the situation of Fengtian." ”

"Haha. Lan Shuai is really generous, isn't he afraid that Jiang will leak military secrets? ”

"I can naturally trust the character of the gentleman. This will never happen. ”

"It's rare for Lan Shuai to trust. There were also a few students from Baoding who came with me this time, He Zhuguo, Wang Yizhe, and Wu Keren, all three of whom were from the Northeast, and now they were successful in their studies, and they all wanted to return to Fengtian to serve, so I took them all back to Fengtian by the way. If you want to recommend it to Lan Shuai, how do you think it should be arranged? ”

After Jiang Fangzhen mentioned these three people, Zhang Tinglan's mind turned quickly, and these three people were all famous in the Fengjun in the future. It is a representative of the new school of officers, and he is also very famous, Jiang Fangzhen is indeed a lucky star, as soon as he came over, he brought three Baoding students, it is definitely a good start, if he can really help himself, maybe he can bring more celebrities!

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The great talent recommended by Mr. Jiang naturally has nothing to say, but the Fengjun has its own rules in terms of employing people, and any newcomer must go to the grassroots army for internship and understand the various rules and regulations of the Fengjun. Of course, if there is a battle during the period and the performance is heroic, you can be promoted exceptionally. If they want to serve in the Fengjun, they have to work from the level of platoon commanders, step by step, before they can be promoted. ”

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was a period of extreme shortage of talents, many international students came back from abroad, they could directly become professors, after graduating from military academies, they could be in a high position, and it was very common for them to be promoted a few levels, Jiang Fangzhen wore the top of the second grade at the age of twenty-eight, which was absolutely unimaginable in later generations.

Although it can be said that this is an eclectic use of talents, but there is also a suspicion of promoting the seedlings, without enough tempering at the bottom, directly to the high position, many people can not fully adapt to the task, and suddenly rise to a high position, it is easy to be unable to hold on, contaminated with all kinds of bad habits, and form gangs.

Of course, Jiang Fangzhen was familiar with these situations, and when he heard Zhang Tinglan's introduction, he nodded with a smile: "Lan Shuai is thoughtful, soldiers really need to be sharpened at the grassroots level before they can be put to use, these three students will be handed over to you, I believe that they will all perform well in the future and become manufacturable materials." ”

Zhang Tinglan and Jiang Fangzhen had a very pleasant conversation, and from these things in front of them, they talked about World War I, the emergence of various new weapons, and the changes in strategy and tactics. Jiang Fangzhen is a master of military science, Zhang Tinglan has a forward-thinking concept, the more the two of them talk, the happier they are, and even have the feeling of seeing each other late, until the night is dark and the lights of thousands of homes are on, Zhang Tinglan sent Jiang Fangzhen away.

Back in the office, Zhang Tinglan moved out several sets of reorganization plans, Fengjun is preparing to expand the organization on a large scale, involving hundreds of thousands of people, without a proper plan is absolutely impossible, Zhang Tinglan is constantly revising and revising, weighing the gains and losses of all parties.

It was busy until midnight, when footsteps sounded outside, and Mrs. Zhou Xinyao walked in with a small bowl of plain porcelain, and there was still wisps of heat in the bowl. Zhou Xinyao has been married for two years, and the two have already had a full tacit understanding, she gently put the small bowl in front of Zhang Tinglan, then turned around, and gently pressed her two hands on Zhang Tinglan's shoulders.

With the gentle pressing of his fingers, his sore shoulders suddenly became a lot more comfortable, Zhang Tinglan leaned on the Taishi chair, picked up the white fungus lotus seed porridge, drank it dry in a few sips, and then closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the gentle kneading.

"Xin Yao, sometimes, I really want to put these troublesome things aside, and then just the two of us, a quiet life, is definitely more comfortable than anything else, that's why only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals!"

"I remember that when my uncle and they were all forty or fifty years old, they were still socializing, and they didn't complain about being tired at all, you are only twenty, why don't you have ambitions, and you have become a little old man in advance, so it can't be done."

"Dare to say that my husband is a little old man, let you see my majesty now." Zhang Tinglan said and grabbed Zhou Xinyao's jade hand suddenly, and then as soon as she turned around, she took her in her arms. Then he sat on the wide Taishi chair. A pair of big hands had already pressed on Zhou Xinyao's chest.

Although it can be regarded as an old husband and wife, Zhou Xinyao's figure has not changed at all, on the contrary, she has become more mature and plump, but there is still a trace of shyness and greenness on her face, which makes people feel unstoppable.

Zhang Tinglan's big hand kept wandering, caressing the elastic body, and gradually he was not satisfied with the itching of the boots, the big hand had reached into the neckline, and the delicate skin gave the rough big hand a different feeling.

Zhou Xinyao gradually became a little confused, and Zhang Tinglan held her in her arms. adjusted a more comfortable posture, and the big hand was about to reach over to take off the placket, Zhou Xinyao suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly blocked Zhang Tinglan's hand.

"Don't mess around!"

"Wife, there are still few times when there has been chaos all these years. Do you still want to escape? Zhang Tinglan smiled proudly while continuing to move his hands and feet.

"Don't!" Zhou Xinyao's face was flushed. He said thinly: "You should always think about the child!" ”

Zhang Tinglan heard this. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, his mind went blank in an instant, and the whole person sat on the chair for a long time before he understood.

"Kid? Xin Yao, do you have a son? I'm going to be a dad? Zhang Tinglan suddenly shouted excitedly, and the boss's eyes were full of joy.

"It's not clear if it's a man or a woman. What nonsense! Zhou Xinyao couldn't help but reproach.

"It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, I like it!" Zhang Tinglan couldn't care about anything at this time, he hugged Zhou Xinyao and stood up. After turning around on the ground three times in a row, Zhou Xinyao was a little spinning.

"Hurry up and let go, the child is just a few months old and very fragile!"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard the child, she finally calmed down completely, hurriedly put Zhou Xinyao on the ground, and carefully looked at it from top to bottom, just like checking a treasure, and after confirming that there was no problem, she gently supported Zhou Xinyao's waist.

It was Zhang Tinglan who noticed the clock on the side, it was already midnight, and Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but reproach at that time: "Why don't you tell me about such a big thing, you see that it's past twelve o'clock now, you have to go to bed quickly, it's not possible to stay up late." ”

Zhang Tinglan hurriedly put away the documents and helped Zhou Xinyao, cautiously, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Humble words, I'm a doctor myself, I don't know what is going on, you don't have to care so much, just like usual."

"Not good!" Zhang Tinglan categorically refused: "My aunt, do you know how far my father is looking forward to his grandson, just to make the old man feel at ease, and you will be honest and obedient to me." ”

The Shuai Mansion is about to add Ding! After Zhang Zuoxiang knew, he simply pushed all government affairs to Zhang Tinglan, retreated to the second line with peace of mind, and waited to hold his grandson.

Zhang Tinglan also tries to find time every day to spend more time with his wife. However, time waits for no one, and in a blink of an eye, the first snow fell in the three eastern provinces, and the vast black soil became covered in silver, and another winter came. The expansion of the Feng army has also reached the most critical time, and Zuihou's plan has also been released.

Sun Liechen and Yang Yuting, who were mainly responsible for the reorganization work, carried Zuihou's plan and found Zhang Tinglan, Sun Liechen took the lead in saying: "After several days of discussions, the new expansion plan of the Feng army has been taken out, and a total of five infantry divisions, three artillery divisions, 22 independent mixed brigades, three cavalry brigades, one armored brigade, and three air force brigades, as well as a coastal defense fleet, with a total number of about 230,000 people. ”

After Zhang Tinglan heard the introduction, he couldn't help but nodded, this idea is basically consistent with his own plan, if you want to protect the huge territory, you can't have enough troops.

Yang Yuting continued on the side: "Five of the infantry divisions were given the official number of the border guards in turn, called the first to fifth divisions, and the other three artillery divisions were also given the number of the border guards. The other mixed brigades were mainly defending localities, including one independent mixed brigade in each of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, and five independent mixed brigades remained in Mukden, five in Jilin, three in Heilongjiang, and three in Outer Mongolia. The remaining three separate mixed brigades were reinforced with equipment, which, as a supplement to the eight main strike divisions, were ready to replenish the losses at the front. ”

This move not only expanded the number of troops, but also carried out a thorough operation in the establishment, completely dismantling and reorganizing all the original establishments of the army.

The three artillery divisions were all equipped with 30 152-mm howitzers, 45 122-mm howitzers, and 60 72-mm guns in accordance with Zhang Tinglan's original vision, constituting the most powerful fist of the Feng army.

The artillery division of this configuration, not to mention the current Japanese and Russian armies, will not suffer losses in World War II, but will only turn some artillery into self-propelled guns.

In the infantry divisions, the brigade-level establishment was abolished, and each infantry division had three regiments under its jurisdiction, one directly under the artillery regiment, which was equipped with a 105-mm howitzer battalion and two 76-mm mountain artillery battalions. In addition, there is an engineer regiment, a teaching team, a special service company, a search company, a mechanical company, a medical company, and a field hospital.

The total number of people has reached about 13,700 people, and a division-level unit of this level will not suffer a loss at all against the Japanese brigades, and two divisions can completely confront one division and even suppress each other! (To be continued......)
