In today's military circles, there are mainly two major factions, one is the officer from the Baoding Military Academy, and the other is the officer from the Lushi Military Academy, the former is mainly concentrated in the Beiyang Army, and the latter is mostly in the army of the southern provinces. However, whether it is a domestic officer or a student who is sent abroad, they basically mainly study the army, and most people highly respect the army. However, there are also a few people who do not have a high opinion of the army.

The others don't mention it first, and Jiang Fangzhen is one of them.

In the past, Chen Jingyun had only heard about it, but today I heard Jiang Fangzhen personally put it forward, but I had a different feeling. In fact, Jiang Fangzhen said that the National Army should not take the local army as its division, but should choose to learn from the German Army, and Chen Jingyun also agreed in his heart.

However, there is a big problem in it, the reason why the German army is strong is based on the premise of the high quality of the soldiers and a large number of outstanding professional officers, and what is more important is the weapons and equipment of the German army, not to mention that the Chinese army cannot learn it, and it is difficult for the army to match it. This is related to the education and industrial level of the whole country, and it cannot be learned by talking about it.

In fact, there is no opinion on who to learn from Chen Jingyun, and the first point in the early stage of building the army was to train a large number of qualified officers and train a unit capable of fighting, and the Nationalist Army is not qualified to discuss the direction in which the army should develop. At least for the first few years, Chen Jingyun's requirements for the Nationalist Army were only one thing, that is, to be able to defeat the troops of other warlords in the country, and as for the future wars with foreign powers, that was a matter for the future, and had to be considered later.

However, Chen Jingyun still made adjustments to Jiang Fangzhen's question of the excessive number of instructors in the Fuzhou Military Academy.

"In the near future, the Fuzhou Military Academy will continue to expand in order to recruit students from Zhejiang, and the newly added instructors will see if we can recruit instructors from other countries, such as Britain, France, Germany, and the United States!" After the Nationalist Army took over Zhejiang, Chen Jingyun integrated the Zhejiang army at the same time as the Zhejiang Army Primary School was abolished, and all the students and teachers were merged into the Fuzhou Military Academy.

Jiang Fangzhen nodded, and then said, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter!" Then he added: "In addition, the literacy classes run by the National Socialist Party in the National Army have been very effective in improving the quality of soldiers and non-commissioned officers. ”

Unexpectedly, after saying that, Chen Jingyun interrupted him and said: "The literacy class system in the National Army is a matter for the National Socialist Party, so the Education Department does not need to interfere!" ”

The literacy classes run by the Kuomintang were only secondary to teaching the soldiers to read and write, and it was more important to promote the Kuomintang among the soldiers, thus building the soldiers' personal allegiance to Chen Jingyun. This kind of thing had to be done by the National Socialist Party, and it would be inappropriate for the Education Department of the General Staff to intervene.

Hearing Chen Jingyun's clear opposition, Jiang Fangzhen was a little incomprehensible; he had just arrived in Fuzhou, and although he had heard of the Kuomintang but did not know much about it, he naturally did not understand the reason why Chen Jingyun vigorously promoted the Kuomintang in the Kuomintang army.

"But since the effect is very great, then I will ask the party department to let them make more efforts to implement the literacy class!" Chen Jingyun said again.

Hearing this, Jiang Fangzhen also nodded, although he failed to catch the system of this literacy class under the hands of the Education Department, Jiang Fangzhen cared about its role, and did not have much feeling about whether it was under the management of the Education Department or the management of the National Socialist Party.

At this time, Chen Jingyun also looked at the plan book in his hand, and then asked: "You said above that you want to set up a new training class for senior officers?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen replied: "Yes! At present, there is a three-month regular class in the Fuzhou Military Academy, and then there is a one-month crash course. In the early stage, these two study systems were very effective in cultivating a large number of low-ranking officers, but now our army has passed through the period of initial creation, and it has been found that the official classes in Fuzhou have graduated five times, each of which has more than 100 people (one session is recruited every month), and in addition, most of the low-ranking officers in the army have also undergone the training of crash courses, and the low-ranking officers of our army have been initially enriched. However, there is an extreme shortage of middle and high-ranking officers in our army, and I have studied the war briefing in Hangzhou and believe that the command quality of officers above the battalion level in our army needs to be improved! ”

Jiang Fangzhen is still very accurate in looking at the problem, now the grassroots officers of the national army are no longer as lacking as they were at the beginning, after the training of the Fuzhou Military Academy has made the junior officers of the national army have been initially improved, but the middle and senior officers of the national army are still of low quality, Chen Jingyun also knows this problem, but the training of senior officers can not be completed in a day or two, and it takes time to slowly improve.

While listening, Chen Jingyun found the content of the training course for senior officers, and after a cursory look, he said: "Since this is the case, let's prepare for it as soon as possible!" It's just that the teachers in this area are afraid that it is not easy to solve! ”

Jiang Fangzhen said: "For the teachers of the senior officer training course, in addition to the few foreign instructors on the side of the Fuzhou Military Academy, in addition, the senior generals of our army can also go to teach appropriately, I, Chen Yi, Shen Gang, Wang Lin and even the governor can go to give lectures in person!" ”

Jiang Fangzhen's words also have a hint of discrimination, that is, all the people are studying abroad, and none of them are local senior generals. The reason is also very simple, that is, when he was in Zhejiang before, he was disgusted by those locals, so that Jiang Fangzhen did not have a good impression of the officers from the domestic military academy.

"In addition, I also wrote to invite Mr. Chen Yanjia and Mr. Wen Jizhong to come as instructors, both of them graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and their knowledge is not much worse than ours!" In addition to recommending these two West Point graduates, Jiang Fangzhen also recommended a classmate named Situ Jun when he was studying in Germany.

After hearing that Jiang Fangzhen actually invited these people, Chen Jingyun was a little surprised! You must know that there are not many Chinese students studying in military academies in Western countries these years, and more of them choose to go to Yueben, and then whether it is a foreign student in this country or a foreign student Chen Jingyun wants it, Chen Jingyun has personally written dozens of letters in order to invite high-level military talents to take up posts in Fuzhou for most of the past six months, but the effect is not very good, and it is difficult to recruit any talents. However, this Jiang Fangzhen has only been here for a few days, and he invited several people to come at once, Chen Jingyun was a little puzzled, when it comes to fame, he should not be worse than Jiang Fangzhen, how can he invite people to come, but he can't invite him?

Chen Jingyun couldn't figure it out for such a puzzle, but it didn't matter.

"The qualifications of these people are only to serve as instructors, and others are afraid that I Chen Jingyun is stingy, so I will first go to the staff department to serve as a staff officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and when I have time, I will go to the Fuzhou Military Academy to give lectures, and then make another arrangement after I get used to it!" The staff officers in the national army are divided into three levels, namely the first staff officer, the second staff officer, and the third staff officer, corresponding to the rank of colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major, because there is no limit to the number of staff officers in the staff department, and the staff officers are divided into multiple levels, so many times they are used as temporary departments to place many middle-level officers who have no place for the time being, and the staff officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel in Chen Jingyun's mouth is also a second-class staff officer.

Chen Jingyun said this, Jiang Fangzhen also showed a full smile, although he has no real position for the time being, but he also has the rank of lieutenant colonel, and Chen Jingyun also agreed to make other arrangements, so it is almost certain that these people will be given priority in the subsequent transfer.

Although what he said just now was that he invited those friends to be instructors at the Fuzhou Military Academy, if Chen Jingyun really wanted to invite them over, it would be impossible for them to be sent by one instructor alone, and even if they were not the actual commanders in charge of the troops, they should be given a position at the headquarters. Now that he heard Chen Jingyun agree, he was relieved, thinking that those friends finally had a way out.

In recent years, although various warlords are attracting talents, whether it is Beiyang or the National Army or other provinces, it still depends on interpersonal relationships, for example, in Beiyang, if no one recommends it, even if Jiang Baili is at most an instructor in the past, if someone recommends it, I am afraid that it is also a position of the principal of Baoding, if you want to really be a regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander, it is really not good to have a strong relationship.

The same is true in the National Army, and now almost all the chief officers above the battalion level in the National Army are Chen Jingyun's descendants, and the talents from all parties who have been served one after another have basically stayed in the headquarters, among these people, the most obvious example is Shen Gang, he can be regarded as an earlier entry into the National Army, before he was promoted all the way up to be the director of the Operations Department, and later served as the deputy chief of staff of the Provisional First Army, and now after returning to Fuzhou, there is news that he will continue to serve as the director of the Operations Department, and there is also news that Shen Gang will be lifted by Chen Jingyun and put on the army, but after all, there is no certainty.

Now that Jiang Fangzhen's friends have Jiang Fangzhen's personal recommendation, they can also be noticed by Chen Jingyun in the future, and there is still a lot of hope for them to rise slowly, if no one recommends them, it will be difficult to be noticed by the superiors.

After Jiang Fangzhen went out with a satisfied smile, Chen Jingyun read the report brought by Jiang Fangzhen again, and then wrote down some decisions that needed to be paid attention to, and wrote down the corresponding instructions, and this change process lasted for more than an hour before it was preliminarily completed.

"Director Yu, transfer this report to Director Jiang, and let him plan to send it over again!" After Chen Jingyun put down the pen, he stood up and said, "Is there any other arrangement for today?" ”

After receiving the report, Yu Shifeng said: "I have lunch with Chief An at noon, and then in the afternoon, Director Yu Wentao of the Navy Department will come over to report on relevant matters!" ”

After listening to this, Chen Jingyun looked at the time on his watch and found that it was almost eleven o'clock now, so he immediately said: "I'll go back to the backyard first, and then you will bring An Hualin over at noon!" As for the Navy Department's side to report the matter, call a few chiefs over together! ”

Yu Shifeng said while remembering: "Yes, I will send someone to inform them now!" ”

After Yu Shifeng went out, Chen Jingyun also got up, and then left the front hall and went to the backyard.
