Chapter 286: Outside and Inside (4)

There was a sudden silence in the conference room, and everyone looked to the door. Xue Ru finally appeared at the door, changing from the very casual dress in the past, today's Xue Ru is wearing a straight military uniform, looking very handsome. Yes, this word used on men is also applicable to Xue Ru at this time.

Maybe there were too many things, maybe it was too much thinking, Xue Ru's face was a little tired, but those big eyes were very attentive, showing an unusual expression. Firm and deep, so that no one sitting in the conference room feels like they are standing up.

Prestige, fame and majesty are generally intangible things, he is not established because of physical strength and money, tall does not mean mighty, rich may not be powerful. In front of these big men, there are some petite, slender and delicate Xue Ru, because she is serious, and brings invisible pressure, which makes these decisive, bloody and fierce soldiers on the battlefield feel a pressure, and they can't help but feel serious and upright.

Xue Ru showed a smile on her face, raised her hand and said, "Sit down, I'll be late to keep you waiting, let's have a meeting now." ”

Although it was an apology, it did not make these people feel relaxed, especially Qiao Han, Li Wenxiu, and Lai Changwen, what they did was suspected by everyone, because Dai Zong clearly pointed out that they looked at supporting and safeguarding Miss's interests, and they were cut off without Miss's consent behind their backs, which in itself did not take Xue Ru into their eyes, and had the meaning of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to treat Xue Ru as a puppet.

At this time, it was the division commanders and captains, and the commanders of all arms of the armed forces who were more excited. They do not participate in the affairs of the upper echelons, but simply think about their own careers, and Snow Fox has decided to occupy the north of Vietnam for independent development and determine the outline of the founding of the country. Although they all lead 10,000 people, a division commander appointed by a formal state and a self-appointed commander who occupies the mountain as the king can understand who is higher and who is lower.

The combat effectiveness of the Snow Fox army is recognized by the world, and no one says that they are not qualified soldiers, but the generals of Snow Fox always have a feeling of self-styled irregularity. The Nationalist Government was also dispensable to them, and was indifferent to the appointment and promotion of generals at all levels.

Snow Fox's military uniform is also different from the style of the national government, in Snow Fox's heart, these majors and lieutenant colonels are just like their own seals, and they cannot be recognized by others. In front of the French army, in front of the generals of the national army, the officers of the Snow Fox always have a feeling of being inferior to them.

But now Snow Fox intends to stand on its own feet in North Vietnam, and his mentality will be different from now on, and today he will hold a meeting of the main officers and generals of the whole army, not to mention that he understands that except for a limited number of people who are a little apprehensive in their hearts, most of them are still looking forward to it.

These people sat down and Xue Ru said: "Everyone, I think you also understand the content of today's meeting to some extent, and I won't be too long-winded, now I just put forward three questions, you will answer, everyone will say what is in your heart, and if you have any thoughts to express directly, I will consider it." But beyond today, I hope to hear no more different voices, and whatever you say today is not wrong. ”

The people below didn't say anything, and sat up straight in solemnity. Xue Ru asked: "The first question, Snow Fox plans to establish a country in northern Vietnam, establish a sovereign country with Chinese as the main body and multi-ethnic co-masters, and fight for this country together in the future, be loyal to him, defend him, and sacrifice for him, is there anyone who disagrees and does not want to participate?" ”

It was so direct and so happy that everyone attending the meeting was stunned, but then everyone stood up and said loudly: "Yes, resolutely follow Miss." ”

Xue Ru raised his hand to let these people sit down and said: "The second question, this country is still mainly based on resisting Japan and fighting devils, while building its own country, it does not forget that it is a Han and the original Chinese, and it must also work hard for the Chinese nation, regard China as our root, our source, safeguard the interests of this nation, and help China resist Japan and save the country, do you oppose this purpose?" ”

Of course, at this time, no one does not recognize themselves as Chinese, has not yet established a country, the people of Snow Fox have not yet formed their own national concept, in the hearts of everyone, they cannot see themselves as another country, only as an organization independent of the national government. In response to Xue Ru's question, of course, he answered without hesitation and did not object to this purpose.

Xue Ru said solemnly: "Third, since the establishment of the Snow Fox Squad in Shanghai, I have taken you from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, from Jiangbei to Nanguo, and now we are in North Vietnam, and Snow Fox has grown from dozens of people to tens of thousands now, many comrades-in-arms and brothers are buried in the ground, and countless people have gone from a soldier to today's army commander and division commander. There are mistakes and merits, but they are all determined to get to this day. Everyone respects me and always calls me Miss, and Xue Ru is very grateful. However, once Snow Fox determines that the main body of the country forms a system, there is a way that the state has national laws, and families have family rules, so everything will operate within the framework of the law. The army also has the laws of the army, and a country has a national constitution, which the whole people must abide by

, there is no doubt about it. But there are thousands of people in the family, and there is always someone who takes the lead to decide all this. Everyone says what you think is the most trustworthy and trustworthy person who takes him as commander-in-chief and obeys orders from now on, no opinion, right? ”

"No" replied in unison this time, and it was much louder. Xue Ru smiled slightly: "Okay, you can tell the ideal person in your heart!" Anyone can do it. ”

Ouyang Sari stood up: "Miss, what else do you have to say, you have been leading the Snow Fox, you are the candidate for the commander-in-chief, I firmly support you and recommend you as the commander-in-chief of the Snow Fox, which one disagrees?" ”

These people glanced at each other one by one, and they all admired Ouyang Sari's quick reaction. In fact, Xue Ru said that it was a bit redundant, she didn't need to ask at all, there was no second choice for this position. This is just a cutscene, and it's the same style as those three meditations. But everyone understands that this is the time to show loyalty, Xue Ru has established supreme prestige in the Snow Fox Army with her achievements over the years, and whoever stands up against it at this time does not need to study the end, you can know what the ending is. But this opportunity to be in the limelight was grabbed by Ouyang Sari.

All of them, including Liu Yuanshan, stood up and expressed their common support for Xue Ru, as the supreme commander-in-chief of Snow Fox, resolutely carrying out orders, and having no second thoughts.

This meeting became a meeting of loyalty, Xue Ru's purpose was achieved, she thought it through, over the years, Snow Fox has formed its own forces and relations of small circles, each general has a group of their own cronies and subordinates. Xue Ru has never served as the supreme commander, whether it is the army commander or the division commander, it is determined by the national government, and Xue Ru has only determined her transcendent status with her military talents.

But now that Qiao Han and the others have made Xue Ru unprepared, Snow Fox has been pushed to the forefront, and will face double pressure at home and abroad. It is most important to unite the snow foxes, have a centripetal cohesion, and tide over difficulties and crises together. This is not the time for a big democracy, where a hundred people have fifty hearts, and things will be very troublesome. Besides, Xue Ru could not make the mistake of Chiang Kai-shek, making the local forces too great, and he could completely disobey the central government, and he did not want to make the mistake of Sun Yat-sen's father of the nation, he only led the country by prestige, and did not control the army, he was always rebelled by careerists, and he could not unify the country in the actual and real sense, and the military and political orders could not be implemented.

In this way, it is necessary to engage in dictatorship within a certain period of time, and strong leadership is necessary during the war, and a country like the United States that is running for democracy also determined Roosevelt's absolute leadership position during World War II, not to mention that the democratic process is very short Chinese, and the implementation of democracy cannot be achieved at once, but there must be a process.

Xue Ru does not have any political level, but she has a hundred years of experience to learn from, refer to and learn from. If the army is democratic and negotiable, no one wants to send them to death, then what will happen to the army when there is a war? If you want to hide back, then stop fighting, there is a difference between the army and the government.

Seeing these people say this, they also said, "Okay then! Since you trust, I will not refuse, but I have two points to explain, first, since I am the leader, I am required to resolutely obey the order, and the one who violates the order is the enemy of all the Snow Fox, and the generals of the Snow Fox army will jointly crusade against him. Second, you don't have any opinion on abiding by the military regulations, military discipline, and operational regulations that I have formulated to form military law regulations, right? ”

Of course not, even if there are one or two people who have different opinions in their hearts, they don't dare to say it at this time. At this time, Liu Yuanshan and the others understood the significance of the young lady's convening of this meeting. All the high-ranking generals gathered together, and no one dared to oppose it, thus confirming Xue Ru's supreme power and status. I'm afraid that no one will shake Xue Ru's position in the Snow Fox Army in the future.

Very clever move, who said that Miss only has military talent and no political talent, now it seems that Miss is all-powerful. In everyone's hearts, Xue Ru is no longer the little girl with a surprising tactical surprise and a brilliant mind in their hearts, but a seasoned politician and military strategist. Not only did I have admiration, but I also had a hint of fear.

This is exactly the effect that Xue Ru wanted to achieve, stood up and said: "That's good, we are carrying out a thorough reorganization of the army today, according to the main body of the country determined by the Snow Fox in North Vietnam, the entire army is organized into three units, the first is the Snow Fox Defense Army, that is, the field army, the second is the local garrison army, and the third is the border army. ”

The ears of the generals at the meeting were all pricked up, and since the three armies of the army, navy, and air force were determined, and they were divided into three major army systems, the status of the individual was very important, and of course they listened attentively, and some people also began to record.

Xue Ru next announced his reorganization plan that the Snow Fox military would be carefully separated and the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff would be established. The garrison is an armed force higher than the police, used for the defense of various regions, the number is not too large, and garrison commands are set up in all regions of the country, which are unified under the command of the Ministry of Defense. The border guards are used for the defense of the borders and coasts and are under the unified command of the Ministry of Defense, and the field army is also managed by the Ministry of Defense. During the war, the General Staff was established to direct military operations, and the Ministry of Defense was not involved in directing operations.

The existing strength of Snow Fox was organized into four field divisions, which were unified and named the First Field Army of Snow Fox, with jurisdiction over the first to fourth divisions, and an army headquarters was established.

The Air Force has established an Air Force Command to command all Air Forces. The Navy has a naval command, so that the three branches of the armed forces are under the command of their respective commands. In peacetime, it is under the leadership and management of the Ministry of National Defense, and in wartime, the General Staff directs the joint operations of all arms of the armed forces.

When the organization of the army was announced, the next thing that everyone was most concerned about was the appointment of officers at all levels. The Navy needs specialists, and the Air Force is the same, so there is nothing to dispute, and besides, there are limited numbers. There are only six warships in the Navy and only 100 planes in the Air Force, so no one cares, and everyone's eyes are on the Army, that is, the position of the four field divisions and army commanders.

There is no need to think about the position of commander-in-chief, Xue Ru became the commander-in-chief of the Snow Fox Army, Navy and Air Force, and when the chief of the general staff was elected, it once again verified Xue Ru's idea of monopolizing power, and this time the chief of the general staff in wartime was concurrently served by Xue Ru.

It took a day for the meeting to end, and the North Vietnam Army was officially established. Navy Commander Wen Shaodong, Chief of Staff Jiang Haitong. Air Force Commander Huang Jianxiang, Chief of Staff Frenchman Davis. Army Commander Qiao Han, Chief of Staff Du Heng, concurrently Commander of the First Army, Commander of the First Division Chen Dong, Commander of the Second Division Hu Wansong, Commander of the Third Division Ding Fenglun, and Commander of the Fourth Division Zhang Hu.

After the four division commanders and one army commander were determined, these people looked at each other, because several of the main figures in the Snow Fox Army were not in position. Subsequently, Xue Ru's announcement surprised everyone, Liu Yuanshan became the Minister of National Defense, Lai Changwen became the commander of the border defense army, Zhang Zhong became the commander of the garrison army, Zhao Dele and Guo Yongcai became the chiefs of staff of the two services, the border guards were subordinate to the brigade, and the garrison army was also based on the brigade.

Li Wenxiu became deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters, and as a result, some problems arose in the adjustment of generals at all levels. Li Wenxiu's face changed a little, because she left the direct command of the army and became a deputy, the most difficult thing for everyone to understand is that Liu Yuanshan, who has always been trusted by Xue Ru, became the Minister of National Defense, but everyone understands that the Ministry of Defense does not have much power during the war. Why is that? The biggest change was that Lai Changwen became the commander of the border guards, and Zhang Zhong, who was inconspicuous, became the commander of the garrison. Everyone knows that the garrison has no air force, no navy, and no heavy weapons, but they are the closest army to Xue Ru's side, and it seems that the person Miss trusts the most is Zhang Zhong.

The meeting lasted for two days in succession, and Li Wenxiu and Liu Yuanshan were responsible for the training and defense of all branches of the armed forces, the formation of troops, the distribution of troops, personnel, equipment, supplies, and garrisons.

Xue Ru left Ha Duong on the third day and went to Hanoi, where she also had to attend a meeting of Zhang Donglin to determine the policy and method of establishing the state of the North of Vietnam, and there were also a lot of problems there. Generals at all levels began their work, and Snow Fox finally completed his new life, from a local army to a general army, navy, and air force.

The only regret is that at this time, the army's equipment and ammunition are not complete, and many branches of the army are not perfect, and they have not reached the combat effectiveness they should have. According to Xue Ru's instructions, everything was dominated by four field divisions, and the border guards and garrisons were put in a secondary position, after all, North Vietnam was facing the Japanese troops that were constantly approaching from the sea.

According to what Wei Ming and his people knew, it was the Japanese 3rd Fleet that entered the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea from Hainan Island, and the Japanese 33rd Division was escorted, which was a three-in-one division with a total of 18,000 men, and the Japanese detachment in Haiphong Port had only 5,000 men, but the Nagasaki Marine Corps was increased by 7,000 men, that is, the Japanese army had prepared 30,000 troops. It seems that Japan has finally reacted, but it is not clear why it did not attack.

But Xue Ru did understand why, looking at the calendar on the wall, May 20, 1940, that is, Japan was waiting, think carefully, if I remember correctly, I only have more than a month, it seems that we have to speed up the internal stability, ready for the upcoming war.
