After two months of contact, the Red Party and the Nanjing government reached a preliminary agreement, and the Red Party forces descended the mountain in Jiangxi. At the same time, Red Party members imprisoned in prisons around the country were also released, and Red Party members began to wear lapels and national uniforms to enter the Nanjing government, and their identities were already national representatives, government officials, education experts, and so on.

Huang Ke is still very satisfied with this result. He knew that this was the result of the balance of political forces, and that the forces of the two parties were still within the controllable range, and that the important military and financial power of the state apparatus was still out of their hands.

Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is harmful to both; This is an eternal truth, but how long can this cooperation last?

At the moment, Huang Ke did not have the energy to think about this anymore, because the new government was going to hold a ceremony in Nanjing to celebrate the reunification of the country and the establishment of the new government, and he was appointed director of the preparatory committee for the celebration.

Huang Ke still decided to focus on military parades, which could not only enhance national pride, but also shock the tiger and warn the Japanese militarists at this time.

After a short period of preparation, the ceremony began with the former Provincial Assembly at No. 16 Dingjiaqiao and the sports square in front of it becoming the venue for the ceremony. The preparations for the ceremony were simple but very grand, with the newly renovated stage and sports plaza crowded with people. The officers and men who were about to be inspected also put on new military uniforms and stood tall.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Wang Jingwei, Huang Ke, Zhang Xueliang from Northeast China, and other dignitaries came to the review stand, and consuls and military attachés from the embassies of Japan, the Soviet Union, Germany, the United States, and Britain successively climbed the review stand to observe.

The Japanese military attache in China is Changyong, who stood on the right side of the viewing procession, wearing a "Zhao Wu-style" military uniform with a standing collar, white gloves on his hands, and an ancestral chrysanthemum knife hanging from his waist. Among the many towering European and American military attachés, the small Chang Yong looked a bit like a dwarf, but he still straightened his waist and tried to maintain an arrogant momentum.

With the sound of the salute, the parade ceremony officially began. Uniformly aligned infantry, steel tank crews, and rumbling artillery passed through the review stand one after another. The military parade arranged by Huang Ke was simple and straightforward, there were only two infantry formations, one was the honor guard team, and the other was the combat unit team, and the remaining dozen or so teams were all composed of light and heavy tank troops, armored troops, and artillery.

This simple and rude show off not only shocked the audience, but also shocked many foreign military attachés, who did not expect that this ancient weak country in the East would drive out more than 100 new tanks and armored vehicles at one time, and those large-caliber artillery pieces dragged by tractors were comparable to the military products of European and American countries.

"I'm afraid that the people of China have gathered all the tanks in the country just for a review, it's too stupid, haha."

In the stands, the Japanese military attache in China, Chang Yong, smiled heartily at Ouyang Huizi, a spy officer beside him. Ouyang Huizi smiled lightly, looking at Huang Ke on the platform, he couldn't help but feel complicated.

However, just when Chang Yong comforted himself with this language, a scene that surprised them even more appeared, there was a roar in the sky, everyone looked up, and the formation of several bombers flew by roaring, followed by transport planes, fighter planes and other formations, and hundreds of planes flew past for review.

The expression on Chang Yong's face froze, and Ouyang Huizi, who was next to him, also took a deep breath, he didn't expect that in just a few years, the Chinese army would develop so amazingly, and the most terrifying thing was that they didn't even know about it.

In fact, these are just tricks used by Huang Ke, and there are only about 30 planes stationed in Nanjing for review, and the so-called more than 100 planes are just tricks that go back and forth.

Soon after, the new government appointed Huang Ke, who was still the Minister of Industry and Construction, and in addition to this position, Huang Ke also became the Minister of Military Staff and was awarded the rank of General.

In Nanjing, Huang Ke was assigned a new house, and soon after, he simply took Zhao Xiaowan and others to Nanjing to settle down, and the business tentacles of the child's uncle Zhao Tinghui have developed to the north of the Yangtze River, and he naturally comes to Nanjing.

The reform of the army is also reflected in Huang Ke, and the whole army has unified military uniforms and standard equipment, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved compared with before. Huang Ke's general's uniform was also changed to a new military uniform.

The new military uniform is based on the lapel national uniform, with a hard large-brimmed hat, gold buttons and epaulettes are three large three-cornered stars, the star shines in the sun, and the seniority table on the chest is a witness to all kinds of honors since he joined the army.

Huang Ke was born with a love for military uniforms, perhaps because of the nature of men, so when Jiang Xianyun recommended him to be the chief of staff, Huang Ke agreed without the slightest shirk.

In order to enrich the strength of the General Staff Headquarters, Huang Ke transferred Jiang Baili, Bai Chongxi, and others to work in the General Staff Headquarters.

While serving as the chief of staff of the army, he did not let go of the Ministry of Industrial Construction, these are real institutions of real power, and the modern industrial system was established by Huang Ke with great effort, and he will naturally not let go of these, and the elite of the National Revolutionary Army are also Huang Ke participated in the formation, not to mention that the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, so naturally he can't let go.

The newly established Ministry of National Defense is located in a newly built red building in downtown Nanjing, not far from the high-walled, heavily guarded Reserve Cadre Office. Unlike the heavily guarded pre-work office, the door of the Ministry of Defense is often open, with only two guards wearing white steel helmets standing at the door, and the front office area also holds regular open days for citizens to enter.

Of course, none of these involve any national defense and military secrets, and the office area below is just some furnishings, and the real office place is actually in the European-style western-style building behind the building.

At this time, the front of this European-style bungalow building was heavily guarded, the door of solid wood was tightly closed, and the corridors were shuttled back and forth with the figures of office workers in military uniforms.

At the door of the first conference room, two soldiers stood straight. Fourteen and some of the security lieutenants were sitting on the couch in the lounge in front of the conference room, and they were not allowed to enter the first conference room, so they had to wait here.

A few guards were either smoking or chatting, although they were no more than colonels, but they were all important people around the senior generals, so in the star-studded Ministry of Defense, everyone did not show any discomfort, but were unscrupulous, chatting happily, and laughing heartily.

The room was sealed and there was no laughter outside, but compared to the noise inside and outside, the energy inside was outstanding.

In front of the command table with a huge sand table, a young staff officer was holding a long command pole to introduce the stationing of the naval, army, and air forces across the country.

Defense Minister Jiang Xianyun, Military Staff Minister Huang Ke, Army Minister Jiang Zhongzheng, Navy Minister Chen Shaokuan, and Air Force Minister Xu Shaozhou stood beside them, some with their hands behind their backs, some holding their chins, but all eyes were fixed on the distribution of these troops.

This is the first official meeting held by the Ministry of National Defense since its establishment, and the topic is very clear, to study the national defense strategy and the next step of military reform.

Prior to this, military reform had already taken place. The whole army has implemented a military rank system, the remuneration of noncommissioned officers has been greatly improved, the army units have been streamlined and reorganized, and the whole army is developing in the direction of mechanization and group armyization. On the Air Force, the original air force has been reorganized into an air force and divided into corps, divisions, and brigades. The compulsory military service system also ensures the quality of soldiers.

Compared with the construction of the army and air force in full swing, the navy seems to have disappeared a lot. Restricted by the shipbuilding industry and other reasons, the navy currently has three different fleets: the Central Navy of the Fujian system, the Northeast Navy of Zhang Xueliang, and the Guangdong Navy.

A few years ago, although Chen Shaokuan took charge of the navy to purchase new ships and eliminate old ships, he had no choice but to rely on the country's weak industrial strength, and the total displacement of the newly built ships was only more than 8,000 tons, and the total number of large and small ships in the whole army was only 50.

Every time he thought of this, Navy Minister Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but get angry in a hurry.

"At present, the situation of the three armed forces is roughly like this, and the army is organized into 23 group armies, of which 13 are army type A and 10 army type B. At present, 13 armies of the first type have begun to experiment with mechanization, and it is expected that the whole army will be semi-mechanized within five years and fully mechanized within 10 years. ”

After listening to the staff officer's introduction, Army Minister Jiang Zhongzheng nodded slightly, he had seen the reorganized mechanized troops, which were very different from the previous warlord troops.

"Our army's newly formed air force already has nearly 1,000 fighters of various types, and these are the aviation flight teams formed by Commander Huang before. In the Far East, this air force is superior in quantity and quality, and is fully capable of fighting a war with the Soviet Red Army Air Force and the Japanese Air Force, with a ratio of 1 to 1.2. ”

The young staff officers clearly introduced the situation of the three armed services, and because it was an internal meeting, they said the military comparisons between the Soviet Union and Japan without any subtlety. After introducing the newly formed air force, everyone in all units turned their eyes to Huang Ke, Huang Ke stroked the military hat on his head, this air force was raised by him with the money he scavenged, and Xu Shaozhou, the minister of the air force, was also his person, so that this army would not be swallowed by anyone, and at the same time, it would be able to gain air supremacy in the war.

The air force was so powerful that Jiang Zhongzheng and the others were quite surprised, they did not expect that Huang Ke would actually form a powerful air force with thousands of fighters in a few years.

"Is this ratio of victory and defeat with that of the Soviet Union and the Japanese air force in the Far East?" Jiang Zhongzheng asked.

The young staff officer shook his head: "No, Commander Chiang, it is compared with the current active air forces of the Soviet Union and Japan. Although we are inferior in quantity, we can make up for it in the quality of aircraft, and 1 to 1.2 is our most conservative estimate, taking into account problems such as airfields in the late war. ”

Everyone smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, Xu Shaozhou took off the hat on his head and said: "The Air Force is all smashed out with money, and the investment before and after or before and after can be described as amazing." Fortunately, however, combat effectiveness has been formed, and in the future, we will use the Japanese and Soviet air forces as an imaginary enemy to strengthen training. ”

After talking about the army and air force, Chen Shaokuan's heart was not very comfortable, the navy has a pitiful little investment, and its combat effectiveness cannot compete with other arms of the military, but China's thousands of miles of sea frontier cannot have a sea without defense!

"Our navy is now the weakest link among the three armed forces, but the importance of the navy has far-reaching implications. I have inspected naval warfare in many countries in Europe and the United States, and have drawn up a program proposal for the development of aircraft carriers and submarines, hoping that the Ministry of Defense will provide more support in terms of funds and policies. ”

After Chen Shaokuan finished speaking, he took out a copy of the naval development plan he had prepared, and Huang Ke took it and said with a smile: "Commander Chen, I have prepared a generous gift for you. ”
