On the outskirts of Lijiazhuang, Shang Wu and Jia Xu were taking a walk. There is a platoon of guards nearby who is responsible for security. On the periphery, there are other troops, as well as police officers to ensure security. After all, this is the heart of the Republican Army.

"In the future, we will inevitably have to go into the south, for example, to occupy big cities like Luoyang, because it is vital to our trade. At the same time, we must also realize that a stable, united, unified court is a great threat to us, and although emotionally we do not want the country to be divided, it seems that division is the best option from our point of view at the moment. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. On the other hand, division is inevitable. Because the cohesion of this court in terms of taxation and other aspects is becoming a terrible state of separation, perhaps, separation from a local point of view is an extremely good choice, after all, it is very advantageous for us, and it is also a very stable starting point. Jia Xu said.

"According to what you said, we really need a big city like Luoyang. Handan can solve some problems, but Handan is too far north. The scope of his radiation is also limited to a certain extent. On the contrary, the importance of Luoyang, you can open a lot of places, control Luoyang, we can go west into Guanzhong, expand the trade area in Guanzhong, to the east, to the south, you can enter a broader area, which is our trade increase, great help, the most important thing is that Luoyang in terms of technology, talent reserves, is higher than any city in our hands, although Handan is developing rapidly, but the heritage, or Luoyang is relatively high. Jia Xu said.

"So, the next question we need to think about is, if we occupy this big city, you know, this big city is very big for us, and the opportunities are very complicated, how to control these?" Shangwu raised his own questions.

"In this regard, I thought about it, and my solution is to find a way to solve such a thing, first of all, to disassemble the War Department, at the very least, to separate a staff department, and the Ministry of Defense. The Ministry of Defense is responsible for the operation of troops, supplies, and factories, and perhaps, it could be a special war team, or a war department, or the Ministry of Defense performing such a function, which includes propaganda, small-scale military operations, and diplomacy. In short, it involves some specific minor military operations, as well as more official war logistics, organizational matters. The General Staff, on the other hand, is to draw up operational plans, revise operational plans, and accomplish such a series of things, so that we can develop to a greater extent, and this will form a very favorable situation for our development. Shang Wu said.

"In other words, next, we want to reorganize the War Department and dismantle more functions of the War Department?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes. That's true. Shang Wu said. The warhead is a complex. In fact, he is part of the functions of the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, the State Department, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the planning of the economic department, and so on, in short, an extremely complex body.

With the expansion of the IRA's territory and new political needs, the IRA must improve its own war department, because the excessive concentration of a large number of affairs is very detrimental to the development of many things and the behavior of making judgments. Shang Wu wants to avoid such a situation.

"So, what about the political aspect, that is, the executive order?" Jia Xu asked such a question.

"We can set a State Council, for example, with our yard as a name. In this way, the executive order can be concentrated here, regarding the **** aspect, I think, the presidential system can be implemented, and then the president establishes a cabinet, and the president, like our parliamentarians, is elected, which can be divided into direct election or indirect election and so on. Shang Wu explained.

"I think that this matter, can not be rushed, to take it slowly, first of all, the external environment does not allow us to make such too radical reforms, in addition, there is that we are still in a state of groping for this system, there is an uncontrollable problem, what should we do? How do we respond? Most of these things have never happened before, and the impact on us is too far-reaching. Jia Xu said cautiously.

"That's right, but it's a good choice for us to strip off the military function first, at least in terms of the general staff, to make a plan for our future war and make a corresponding military plan, so that our burden will be easier." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. This is a good idea, and in this way, it will make our military command more swift and convenient, and deal with all kinds of situations that may arise in the future. Shang Wu said. In fact, Shangwu has long had such an idea. The War Department is only temporary, and some of the temporary ones are bloated. Because he needs a lot of personnel, at least, from the original courtyard of people, into several courtyards, Shang Wu knows, at least, there are twelve courtyards are the offices of relevant departments, and indirectly may form a village, and the courtyard where Shang Wu and Jia Xu lived, began to expand some temporary, from the original farmhouse courtyard, to a three-entry courtyard, which is very unfavorable for possible future wars and larger strategic choices, so, stripping a function, for Shang Wu, It is very important.

"Sir, a new telegram from the intelligence services." A guard stepped forward to report. Jia Xu took it and looked at it.

"It seems that our attitude is still very important, He Jin actually asked how our attitude was?" Jia Xu said with a smile.

Shangwu took the telegram and looked.

I don't know how the general He Jin got in touch, and the intelligence department got the relevant information. The general hoped to get help from the Republican Army, of course, there was no need to give more military support, the General was willing to hand over the entire Shangdang County and some passes to the east of the river to the Republican Army, and at the same time, the General also promised that as long as he remained neutral. The Republican Army was given an independent national name. Recognition of the independence of the areas controlled by the Republican Army. But in fact, these are all false, because there are many passes, the Republican Army is under control, and as for the country name, the Republican Army actually already has. It's just that there is a lack of formal recognition. In fact, the whole condition is extremely empty, and even, in Shang Wu's opinion, these are of little practical use.

"It's all false, the idea is good, and it's a very good idea to use these things that are not too practical enough to keep us neutral." Shang Wu said.

"It's a pity that everything is so beautiful. But in practice, it doesn't mean much. Jia Xu pouted and said, obviously, he himself was very disdainful of the little tricks of the great general He Jin, could it be that he gave up because of an imaginary national name, and the reason why the Republican Army was able to have such an achievement today was that the Republican Army played it little by little. It is an important representative of its own advancement. And the imperial court's attempt to make the Republican Army in a neutral state, and even possibly get their help, through such a hypocritical name, made the interests of the Republican Army suffer greatly. In short, this matter is absolutely unacceptable to them.

"But we should pretend, at the very least, we should give the general some illusions." Jia Xu thought about it and said.

"Well, it's a great way to keep trading, of course. The specific form still depends on other methods. For example, borrowing some money, or providing some weapons. We have all of these. Shang Wu said with a smile.

What the general didn't know was that the Republican Army didn't need these things, and they were more concerned with something more practical than Aki, such as trade, or some important move to open up the market, which were some of the things they should be most concerned about.

A dilapidated land temple outside Yuci County. Wang Zhenlai is here to serve as a temporary education inspector, mainly to conduct an education investigation.

This is a primary school established in five villages outside Yuci County.

There were no surplus houses in the local area for the education department, so this dilapidated land temple became a primary school. Outside the temple, there are two classes of thirty people in class, and inside the temple, more than thirty children are learning.

The conditions here are extremely simple, there is no pen and paper at all, and each student can only be given one piece of chalk. Write and draw on the ground. The teacher writes the textbook on the gang and completes the most preliminary teaching.

The children learn very quickly, but there are not enough textbooks at all, and many children can only stand up and listen to the lessons. Because their place is not enough.

It's the same thing out there. If it rains, they can only crowd into such a land temple to attend classes, and the teaching situation of the children can be imagined.

Wang Zhen was extremely dissatisfied with this. But there is no way in the local area, and the situation in the county is better. After all, there were donations from some businessmen, but several nearby villages, too poor. They can only guarantee that it will be good to have a full meal. There isn't much expense to build a school at all.

The local ** has just ended the busy situation, so that they can devote themselves to the construction of school classrooms at once, it seems that it is very unrealistic, in short, the teaching conditions in the whole rural area are very unqualified. If there is some danger in the land temple, there is also whether these children can understand these words comprehensively. It's really a big hassle for them.

However, education can only be financed by education, and this leads to a very passive education.
