Chapter 734: Action

With the order, the troops located in the two military regions of Beijing and Jinan were quickly mobilized.

All-out attack, such an order is probably the news that those generals in the army are most willing to hear, after all, as long as they are soldiers, there are few who do not want to make contributions on the battlefield.

And with the end of the war in Europe, in the eyes of many military generals, even if there will be any war in the future, I am afraid that it will be at the level of a small fight. Moreover, for the generals of the military regions in Jinan and Beijing, even if it is a small fight, I am afraid that there is no way to count on it―――――― they must not be able to swim from the sea to Japan or Korea, as for the war burning to Beijing and Jinan, as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that it is more exaggerated than the former.

It is precisely because of this that the battle in front of them does not dare to say that it is the last battle they can participate in in their lifetime, but it is the last battle in their military career, I am afraid that it may not be unreliable, especially for those older generals.

If they don't take advantage of this last opportunity to make a good fight, I'm afraid they will regret it for the rest of their lives in the future.

What's more, the matter of conferring titles is not a secret in the military.

That's right, the protagonists this time are mainly the marshals Cai Yi and Jiang Baili, but this does not mean that only a few of them will be awarded titles this time. After all, in the European War and a series of other wars, there are many generals who have made outstanding meritorious deeds, and these feats should be commended, so in addition to Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, a large number of generals will be promoted this time. In addition, there is a group of colonel-level officers who will also be promoted to the rank of general because of their military exploits some time ago.

In fact, according to common sense, the matter of awarding titles should have started shortly after the end of the European war, just because there were too many soldiers who had made meritorious contributions. Moreover, later on, Cai Ye and others marched into Siberia and Central Asia. There are also a lot of people who need to be awarded, which is why it has dragged on for so long.

For many generals, without making any meritorious contributions, this award naturally has little to do with them. But this time it was different, and this opportunity that suddenly appeared gave them a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Not to mention, about the change of the military system. It is also not a secret in the military that the existing four-party system will be reorganized into a three-three system. In the absence of a change in the total number of troops, the size of the unit was reduced. This means that the number of units increases, and the number of generals required for these units will naturally increase a lot...

For example, if the existing four-party system is changed to a three-three system, the establishment of one division, two brigades and four regiments. It will also become one division, one brigade and three regiments, or one division and three regiments. So what to do with the missing regiment? Direct uncut? This is obviously impossible, after all, this restructuring is not to reduce the number of troops, but to make the troops more flexible when fighting

Obviously, there is only one way to settle these regiments, that is, to merge them with other regiments with similar fates, so that there will naturally be fewer regiments in each division, but the number of combat units at the 'division' level will increase, and the number of 'divisions' will increase. This also means an increase in the number of units such as 'army' and even 'corps'.

If I can take advantage of this opportunity to make more contributions. Maybe when the title is awarded, they will also be promoted to the next level.

This is especially true of those colonel-level officers, after all, there are many colonel-level officers who have been stuck in their current positions for a long time. If you can't make some military achievements, maybe you can only slowly boil up your qualifications in the future, if that's the case, I'm afraid many people won't be able to survive―――――― you don't see that there are many colonels or something in the later generations, are they actually quite old?

It can be said that it is indeed not so easy to become a general, even if it is only a brigadier general.

And now a battle exploit is in front of them, if they are lucky, if they have some outstanding performance on the battlefield, they may be able to make a breakthrough, directly from the current level to the next level, or even to be promoted beyond the rank―――――― this kind of thing has not happened in the Wehrmacht, but it mainly falls on some ordinary soldiers and low-level officers who are 'brave' and whose rank is not very high.

In any case, if this can really be done, it will really be ten or even twenty years of direct struggle.

In fact, this is not only for them, but even for the senior generals. Marshals don't dare to count on it, but if they are promoted to lieutenant general or even general, they can still think about this in their hearts, right?

Then there are those generals who hold the post of chief of staff in various units, although they are now the chiefs of staff of a certain army or even a certain corps, but it is not as comfortable as being the number one to be the deputy.

If the new military system is changed this time, there will definitely be many more positions, and then their opportunities will naturally increase...

All of a sudden, it can be said that almost all the officers and generals of the participating troops were excited, and those generals who did not catch the war sighed one by one, why didn't they go this time...

As for the Japanese? They really didn't pay attention to this.

It has to be said that after experiencing the European War and even a series of other battles, the Japanese, who were once regarded as the beasts of the flood, and even other powers, are now not taken much by the Wehrmacht.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the Jinan Military Region, although autumn has come, under the sunshine, Shandong is still relatively warm at this time, and many pedestrians do not even wear coats, but just wear long sleeves and walk out of the door.

At the location of a certain railway station in the Jinan Military Region, groups of soldiers, under the command of their respective officers, stood on the platform in a neat queue, quietly waiting for their own train.

"Anyway, what's going on today?"

Looking at the chaos on the platform, a staff member at a train station couldn't help frowning.

Albeit on the platform. The commanders of the various units have been trying to maintain order in the troops as much as possible, but now there are at least a thousand people standing on the entire platform, so many people. It is impossible to really reach the point of silence, and the sound of various troops shouting slogans naturally makes the whole platform look chaotic...

Of course, this is nothing for civil railway stations, after all, even in China in this era, the so-called Spring Festival is not as exaggerated as later generations, but in fact, the passenger flow is still very large. Even the entire train station can become chaotic.

In normal times, when it comes to passenger flow, I am afraid that the passenger flow of China's railways is also the best in the world―――――― not to mention anything else. That population alone says a lot.

In the past, it was because there were not many railways in the country, and the people were very poor, and the people were generally not used to leaving their homeland. Naturally, the passenger flow will not come up. But now it's different. Since the establishment of the national government, the construction of the railway can be said to have never stopped, coupled with the great improvement of the national economy over the years, the income of the Chinese people has also been greatly improved, and the passenger flow has naturally come up...

As for India, which has the same population and at the same time has a decent railway mileage...

Come on, is that train for Indians? It was all about transporting resources to the British―――――― why did Gandhi be anti-British? Why fight for British independence?

In April 1893, an Indian company to which Gandhi belonged at the time sent Gandhi to work in South Africa. He was disheartened to see that Indian immigrants were being denied their civil liberties and political rights in South Africa to a great extent. And in his early years in South Africa. There is one thing that is often brought up. That is, he bought a ticket for a first-class carriage at that time, because he refused to change to a third-class carriage. Someone threw him out of the Pietermaritzburg train.

Although this was only the case in South Africa, it is also possible to see the situation of the Indians.

――――――――――――――――――――

Despite the fact that the train stations in the country usually have a high traffic rate, the staff there have long been accustomed to the noisy environment. But this is not the case for these workers at the moment, for the simple reason that this is a military railway station――――――

If it is a civilian railway station, it is naturally very busy on weekdays, and you can see any kind of scene of working in this environment.

The problem is that this is a military railway station, which is naturally different.

Although it can be very busy at times, especially when the troops are out for exercises, or when weapons and equipment and logistics support are delivered, it is still very idle most of the time. After all, unlike other places, the possibility of war is not very high.

And now, without any notice, there is a sudden mass build-up of troops stationed nearby. This small platform alone was already full of people, and if you count the troops who were getting off the train outside the train station, I am afraid that it would probably reach three or four thousand, which is almost the strength of an infantry regiment...

Such a strange scene is naturally easy to surprise the staff in the train station.

After hearing the words of his companion, another staff member next to him, looking at the busy scene on the train station, also had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"yes, that's a little weird..."

But now is not the time to discuss such a thing, and soon the two of them are engaged in work, helping their colleagues on the platform to maintain order in the train station.

As I said earlier, at this moment, the number of officers and soldiers on the platform alone has reached thousands of people, and if you count the number of people outside the railway station, I am afraid that it can even reach three or four thousand people. Such a huge number is already equivalent to the number of infantry regiments in Division B or Division A.

Although the railway station had tried its best, it still took a whole day to send the regiment and the entire regiment's equipment.

By the time everyone had gone, the staff at the train station were almost exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

"Hell, the regiment commander just now was urging there, is he in a hurry to send him to death!"

Sitting on a bench next to the platform, a staff member complained loudly.

Hearing his words, several people next to him immediately agreed. Just now, when the equipment was getting into the car, the commander of the infantry regiment and several officers were always urging him, just like the worst capitalists in the factory, and it was no wonder that they were disgusted.

Hearing their complaints, although they were also tired, the staff member just now smiled. "Maybe they're going to die..."

Naturally, these words were just taken as a joke by the colleague next to him, and only the person himself knew that he was telling the truth...

In any case, now that they have finished their work, the staff at the train station can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After looking at the already dark sky, the previous staff member drove to a nearby town to drink. This suggestion quickly won the approval of several others, and soon the group drove to the nearby town in a car, while the other staff members rested after locking the gate―――――― and had been busy all day, not everyone had the energy.

Once in a nearby town, the group soon found themselves in a tavern that they used to frequent. A few people asked for a few bottles of beer, plus some appetizers or something, and it was quite lively to drink...

After drinking until midnight, the men left the tavern satisfied.

Now that even the last guests are gone, it's only natural that the tavern should close. It's just that just about an hour after the people in the tavern closed the shop, two people in black coats opened the door of the tavern with a key, sneaked into the tavern, and then found a piece of paper under the table where those people were drinking just now...

After finding the piece of paper, the two men looked at each other and quickly left the tavern. Around dawn the next day, the contents of this piece of paper appeared in the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society.

To be more precise, in front of the head of the headquarters, Mitsuru Toyama and Ryohei Uchida...

Looking at this information that had just been transmitted from China not long ago, and thinking about some of the information that had been transmitted back earlier, it seemed that he had thought of something, and the expressions of Toyama Mitsuru and Uchida Ryohei looked a little ugly...

"It seems that the Chinese are planning to change their existing policies..." Looking at the information on the table again, Toyamamitsu said to Ryohei Uchida.

"yes," Ryohei Uchida nodded in agreement, and then stood up from his seat. This information must be reported to the bureaucrats in the military department as much as possible, otherwise if they are not prepared, I am afraid that the situation on the Korean front will become bad..."

Hearing Ryohei Uchida say this, Mitsuya Toyama nodded, and soon the two of them left the room and rushed in the direction of the military headquarters... (To be continued......)
