Knowing that the Japanese army was about to surrender in more than half a year, Li Yunlong had no need to provoke the devils anymore, and put all his mind on the development of the troops and base areas.

After exterminating the bandits and bandits in the defense area, Li Yunlong summoned Zhao Gang, Ding Wei and Kong Jie to discuss the establishment of a group of military academies to train low-level commanders in the army.

After all, since the merger and establishment of the First Column in North China, the strength of the army has expanded rapidly, and now the total strength of the militia has reached more than 70,000 people.

Although the strength has increased a lot, the shortcomings have also been revealed, that is, the quality of the low-level officers has seriously declined. Some officers are literate, and they can't even read maps.

Although Li Yunlong had asked Zhao Gang to run a literacy class when he was in the new regiment before, there were originally few people who could read and understand maps, and with several major battles, those who could read and read maps had also lost a lot of personnel.

After all, there are so many troops in the army that it is not enough to send officers from above, and the headquarters does not have so many talents to send Li Yunlong.

After all, the Eighth Route Army is not only Li Yunlong's troops to expand their strength, since the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has increased from tens of thousands of people to hundreds of thousands now, an increase of more than 20 times, and most of the commanders of each unit have to rely on their own training.

And even if there are intellectuals, most of them are in logistics work, just like Zhao Gang, so most of the commanders in the Eighth Route Army don't know a single big character like Li Yunlong, which is also a helpless thing, there are few intellectuals in the country, and most of them are in the national army.

That's why Li Yunlong thought of setting up a military academy to solve this problem once and for all.

After all, there is still more than half a year before the Japanese army will surrender, and they will definitely accept a large number of Japanese equipment at that time, and the expansion of the army is a sure thing.

Then there are personnel and weapons and equipment, and the rest are mainly officers, especially low-level officers, although those who can fight do not necessarily have to be literate, but literacy is always a good thing, as a descendant, Li Yunlong knows that the intellectualization of the army is the trend of future development.

In the future, not only officers must have knowledge and academic qualifications, but even big-headed soldiers must have knowledge, otherwise who will control those technical weapons.

Although Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie do not have the same long-term vision as Li Yunlong, they still support the matter of running military academies, and although some of them do not have a high level of education, they also know the importance of talent.

Moreover, Zhao Gang also drew inferences from one case and proposed not only to run a military academy, but also to run a comprehensive academy to train administrative personnel.

After all, the first column had already occupied seven county seats, as well as a large number of rural towns and villages in North China, so many areas had to be managed by Zhao Gang.

It's not good to be busy every day, and Zhao Gang is already a little lacking in skills, so when Li Yunlong proposed to set up a military school, he agreed without saying a word.

"Lao Li, how did your old boy think of running a military school, don't say it, this idea is really good." Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong while drinking tea. He is very much in favor of Li Yunlong's proposal to run a military academy, although he himself has no culture, but he respects cultural people from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't talk about this first, let's talk about the military academy, Lao Li, it's not me who hit you, although I also caused the military academy to train military commanders, but this military academy is not so easy to run, don't talk about anything else, let's talk about this instructor first, where do you go to please? Although Lao Zhao's cultural level is not low, he ......... in military aspects. Although Ding Wei didn't say it explicitly, the meaning is already very clear, Zhao Gang is a college student, yes, but he has been holding a civilian job since he joined the revolution, and he is not as good as a few of them in terms of military command.

But although their positions are not low, and their military command ability is not weak, let them teach in a few districts, so forget it.

Hearing Ding Wei's words, Zhao Gang also reacted, among them, there are basically no people who have gone to the school system to learn military commanders, so who will be the instructor, although partnering with Li Yunlong began to find that this kid's command ability is good, but let him serve as an instructor Zhao Gang is still a little uneasy, after all, Li Yunlong's culture is still learned from him.

So after Ding Wei finished speaking, Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Yes, Lao Li, where are we going to invite this teacher?" Get HQ to support? Although the headquarters has some talents, there are not many, and they will definitely not be able to give us much help. ”

Hearing the words of the two, Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "This is easy to do, since the headquarters can't give support, then let's find a way by ourselves, in terms of cultural courses, Lao Zhao will arrange people to serve as instructors, as for military instructors, we will find them from our own team, and let those regiment commanders and battalion commanders take turns to be instructors, as for how the course is taught, anyway, it is better for a dead horse to be a live horse doctor than to do nothing." ”

"Is this going to work?" Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang asked with some concern.

"I think it's good, Lao Li is right, it's better to learn this than not to learn, anyway, it's like this, can it be worse than before?" Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Ding Wei's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"I think we can give it a try, we're also self-reliant, aren't we, and we're all from mud legs, so we don't still fight." Kong Jie also agrees very much, anyway, this is no way, if there are talents in some aspects, who is willing to do this, it's not out of line.

Li Yunlong saw that a few people had no opinions, so he said: "Okay, then let's make a decision, then find an address and name for the school, and quickly set up the school, so that we can cultivate talents as soon as possible." ”

"Otherwise, it's called "Northwest Jin Military Command Class", I think it's a good name, what do you two think?" Ding Wei nodded and said, after speaking, he looked directly at Li Yunlong and Kong Jie on the side, anyway, the military aspect is up to the three of them, and Zhao Gang is only in charge of life in the army.

"Well, Lao Ding's name is good, I think it's very good." After Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie opened his mouth and agreed, anyway, he himself doesn't know how to name it, and he doesn't have this level, and he really thinks that Ding Wei's name is good, Jin Xibei, isn't that where the three of them made their fortunes.

"No, no, although the name can be so good that I think it's still almost meaningful." Li Yunlong opened his mouth to object.

The main reason is that he feels that this name is too limited, and it also has regional attributes, although several of them started in the northwest of Jin, but they can't stay here forever in the future.

"I said Lao Li, you think my name is not good, then you should name one." Ding Wei thought that Li Yunlong was deliberately finding fault, thinking that he didn't know what level Li Yunlong was at this kid, and said that his name was almost meaningless, anyway, Ding Wei felt that his name was good, and he didn't believe that Li Yunlong could give him a better name than himself.

But Li Yunlong's next words made him a little dumbfounded.

I saw Li Yunlong laugh and then said: "Lao Ding, don't say it, I named it before, and the reason why I said this just now is to see what level you two are." ”

After Kong Jie on the side heard Li Yunlong's words, he glanced at him angrily and then said mockingly: "Then you say, I see, you Li Yunlong is Zhu Bajie wearing glasses and pretending to be a college student, and you dislike the name of other people's Lao Ding is not good enough, I think your name is not as good as other people's Lao Ding." ”

Li Yunlong didn't get angry when he heard Kong Jie's words, after all, he was an old comrade-in-arms for so many years, and he still knew Kong Jie's character, so he smiled and said: "College students, we still use pretence, to tell you the truth, the level of college students is not as good as ours." ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong also glanced at Zhao Gang, to say that the cultural level Li Yunlong is really not low, he was a graduate of the University of Electric Power before the crossing, and he also attended the foreign language class of Peking University in his previous life, if he didn't say anything else, his foreign language level must be better than Zhao Gang, but he couldn't say it.

"I said Lao Li, what do you mean, what do you think I'm doing? Why, you're still comparing yourself to me? Seeing Li Yunlong looking towards him, Zhao Gang couldn't help but speak.

"Li Yunlong, don't hold it out, but say the name you gave to the school." Ding Wei stabbed Li Yunlong with his hand and said.

"Alright, alright, I said it's not possible." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: The military academy is called the "National Defense Military Academy", as for the cadre training class that Lao Zhao said, it is simply called the "National Administration Academy", is this name much more atmospheric than Lao Ding's "Northwest Shanxi Military Command Class"? ”

"National Defense Military Academy" and "National Administration Academy" Zhao Gang lowered his head and muttered two sentences, then raised his head and said incredulously: "This name is indeed good, but Lao Li, is your name a little ...... and a little big." ”

This was really a bit unexpected by Zhao Gang, originally he thought that with Li Yunlong's ink, he couldn't think of any good names at all. But he didn't expect Li Yunlong to really give him a surprise, but he was a little embarrassed, after all, these two schools, according to his meaning, also play the role of a training class.

】

It's not that Li Yunlong's name is not good enough, but he feels that the school run by his own person is not worthy of this name at all.

"I said Lao Li, your kid is not very ambitious, and we can use the word "country"? I think it's still the name I gave it, and the name "Northwest Jin Military Command Class" is low-key enough. Ding Wei glanced at Li Yunlong twice, and his heart had changed a lot about Li Yunlong's image.

"I think the name has to be louder and make people feel atmospheric, otherwise how attractive it is." Li Yunlong didn't care about Zhao Gang and Ding Wei's words, as a latecomer, he knew that it was good to be a company and apply for a school, and the name was very important, just like the names of those third-rate schools in later generations, although the strength was very poor, it did not affect his enrollment.

"Okay, let's do as we say, the name is ready, let's talk about the location of the school. Lao Zhao, do you think that place in the county is suitable for running a school? Let's find a place to make do with the school, and anyway, when our conditions are good, we will have to rebuild it later. Li Yunlong wanted to arrange these two schools in Ping'an County, because among the seven county towns they occupied, Ping'an County was exactly in the middle of the beginning, and it was also the largest county town among the seven county seats, and the geographical location was extremely superior, otherwise Li Yunlong would not have set up his headquarters here.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang thought for a while, and then spoke: "Before, when we took over Ping'an County, we happened to confiscate the assets of a group of Japanese businessmen, and now we still have five courtyards empty in our hands, and it is nothing to take out two courtyards to run a school, but I don't know which two are suitable, or you can take a look." Saying that, Zhao Gang took out the map of the county seat, circled the location of the five courtyards with a pen, and then handed it to Li Yulong.

Li Yunlong took the map and looked at it, and then circled the two adjacent courtyards, although these two courtyards are not the two largest here, but the location is good and the two courtyards are still next to each other, and there is a wall in the middle.

Anyway, the scale of the school will not be very large at the beginning, and when the conditions are good, it will definitely come out and build a large-scale school alone, and now the two courtyards are enough to make do with it.

After choosing a name and arranging the location of the school, Li Yunlong discussed the first batch of teachers with the three of them, as well as the study of subjects.

After a short period of negotiation and Li Yunlong's proposal, the first batch of faculty candidates and study subjects were determined.

The School of Administration runs the school completely in accordance with Zhao Gang's ideas, as for the Military Academy, after Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie's discussions, especially Li Yunlong, most of the past few years have been contacted by Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei also raised a few points, as for Kong Jie, he basically nodded.

The subjects of study in military schools have been determined as basic cultural courses, such as reading, drawing, and homework on pictures, and the major subjects are infantry section, artillery section, cavalry section, and special operations section, in addition to the transportation department and logistics support section.

Basically, some of the troops in Li Yunlong's army have entered the school's study subjects. The first batch of instructors were all outstanding commanders and fighters selected from within the unit.

The management of the school was organized, and the School of Administration was handed over to Zhao Gang, and all the administrators and teachers were selected from the political commissar's office, and the position of the principal of the school was held by Zhao Gang.

And the president of the Military Academy is also served by Li Yunlong, of course, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not idle, they serve as vice principals, just one and two deputies, which is about the same level as the three of them in the army.

Deal with the school's affairs, the next thing is to select students, because the conditions are limited, not everyone can come to study, the first selection is to have a certain cultural foundation, the minimum must also be literate, after all, the limited time can not let them learn from scratch, although most of the Eighth Route Army are born with mud legs, but there are still a lot of people who can know words.
