Soon after dark, the meeting ended, and Tani Shuryohi left the phase unhurriedly

Thousands of miles away, Li Cunxun rushed to Yuanfu while having dinner. [Full text reading]

Different people have different habits. Yuan is also a person, so each Yuan has some special habits. What special habits Ji Youguo has, Li Cunxun doesn't know very well, he only knows that Zhao Rundong likes to rub his forehead when he thinks about problems, which is probably related to the fact that he was injured on the battlefield when he was young. Not long after Wang Yuanqing took office, many habits had not yet been manifested, and there was only one that everyone talked about: he often asked officials to report to the Yuan Mansion in the name of having dinner together. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that Wang Yuanqing is still single and living alone.

"Investigating" Yuan's private life is not something Li Cunxun should do, but as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, his years of professionalism have allowed him to reveal some details that ordinary people can't see. For example, Wang Yuanqing's life is very modest, whether it is smoking, drinking, or eating, it is always in moderation; Wang Yuanqing was a very hospitable person, and every time he asked an official to report on his work, he would ask the cook to prepare a sumptuous meal, which made people think that he was not very frugal; Wang Yuanqing is a person of great taste, the leather boots are always spotless, the round-neck tunic is always like new, and the head is always neat and bright, as if he is working all the time; Wang Yuanqing is still a very regular person, like other yuan, he is never late, and he doesn't like others to be late.

Details determine success or failure, and details also determine character.

The character of the Yuan determines the character of the Republic to a large extent.

As one of the parties involved, Li Cunxun: I will not forget those things around the Spring Festival this year.

After it was decided to nominate Wang Qing as the next president of the Republic, Rundong and Wang Yuanqing had a big disagreement on the arrangement of the personnel of the government leadership group. Zhao Rundong hoped that Gu Weimin would stay in office and continue to serve as premier of the State Council, and Wang Yuanqing resolutely nominated Zong Yingren to be the premier of the State Council and Ye Zhisheng to be the minister of national defense. There is no problem with other personnel changes, such as letting Yan Shanglong replace Huang Guowei as foreign minister, only the prime minister and the defense minister have problems with the personnel arrangement. In the end, Zhao Rundong had to give in, except for Gu Weimin to be transferred to the chairman of the plenary congress, the rest was arranged by Wang Yuanqing.

At the National Congress of the National People's Congress after the Spring Festival, Wang Yuanqing's list of nominations for principal officials of the State Council was repeatedly questioned by the deputies.

The big question is not to let Zong Yingren be the prime minister, but to let Ye Zhisheng be the defense minister.

However, the appointment of a civilian as Minister of Defence has been enshrined in law. Gu Weimin and Zong Yingren are also civil officials. But before the two became defense ministers. Either you have worked in the Ministry of Defense for many years, and you have worked in the top position of the local government for many years. All have excellent administrative skills. Prior to that, Ye Zhisheng served as the deputy assistant to the president. He has worked in the local government of Guangxi for 5 years. The first is to be a professor at Renmin University. A "teaching craftsman" can manage tens of thousands of employees. Is it about the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of China?

for a question. Wang Yuanqing nominated Ye Zhisheng three times to be the minister of national defense. Twice it was denied.

There were still a number of opposing delegates before the last vote. Until Zhao Rundong (who was still a delegate to the conference after leaving office) personally came forward to act. It took all possible to persuade dozens of leading deputies Wang Yuanqing to nominate Wang Yuanqingdi, and it was passed by a narrow majority in the third vote. Ye Zhisheng became the youngest defense minister in the history of the Republic.

This incident very clearly reflects one of Wang Yuanqingdi's characteristics: he will never compromise.

According to several laws passed before Ji Youguo left office. If the nomination of the new principal officials of the State Council is rejected three times by the congress, the congress will dissolve the congress. Stay in office for half a year. Re-election. When the time comes. Whether Wang Yuanqing can be nominated to serve as the head of state is a question.

For the sake of the Minister of Defense. Wang Yuanqing is willing to bet on his own political future.

This not only made Li Cunxun feel gratified, at least Yuan would not "betray" the interests of a certain official, but also made Li Cunxun feel that Wang Yuanqing was a little reckless, Ye Zhisheng could not be the Minister of National Defense, and he could still make suggestions in the position of Yuan Xi's assistant, and he played a more important role than the Minister of National Defense. With the current political system of the republic, a secretary who can speak at Yuan's side is far more influential than a minister who works in the Ministry of Defense.

Wang Yuanqing strongly supported Ye Zhisheng, which made Li Cunxun see another possibility.

With the exception of several important laws introduced by Ji Youguo before leaving office, Zhao Rundong did not reform the political system of the republic during his tenure. Wang Yuanqing is Ji Youguo's protégé, will he deepen the reform of the political system during his tenure? Is his strong support for Ye Zhisheng as defense minister before taking office a sign of political reform?

These two questions are not worth thinking about deeply.

No matter how the political system is changed, the intelligence system is a paradise. Even in the United States, which claims to be democratic, the intelligence agencies have a very detached position.

After more than a month in office, the outside world's expectation of Wang Yuanqing gradually decreased.

For those apprehensive officials, the Yuan is only 1 year old

After Ren did nothing, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and were able to sleep peacefully

For the common people who hoped that the motherland would be strong, Yuan's ordinary performance disappointed them, and some even thought that Wang Yuanqing was too young to be the supreme leader of the republic.

There are only two types of people who have completely different views on Wang Yuanqing, one is a soldier and the other is a scientific researcher.

In the past few months, Wang Yuanqing has done two major things, one is to deepen the second round of military reform from Zhao Rundong in March 2025, and the other is to comprehensively promote the fourth phase of scientific research of the "Yanhuang Plan".

Two years before leaving office, that is, two years after the end of the Korean War, Zhao Rundong devoted all his energy to military reform.

In the words of Zhao Rundong before he left, these things can only be done by him, and Wang Yuanqing must consolidate his political position after taking office, and cannot carry out drastic reforms of the army.

In Li Cunxun's view, the implementation of the second military reform is the greatest political legacy left by Zhao Rundong to Wang Yuanqing.

The focus of the second round of military reform was on personnel adjustments, not on equipment renewal. In addition to letting Xiang Linghui continue to serve as the chief of the General Staff, Pei Chengyi, who played a key role in the Peninsula War, was promoted to major general and served as the chief of the Operations Division of the General Staff, so almost everyone believes that Pei Chengyi will replace Xiang Linghui in 5 or 1C years and become the youngest chief of the General Staff in the history of the Republic; Lin Xiaolei succeeded Ying Changhui as commander of the navy, and Zhang Weichang as chief of staff of the navy; Zhang Zhongxian succeeded Yan Yuqing as commander of the Air Force, and Lei Jingming became chief of staff of the Air Force; Shi Wengang became the commander of the Marine Corps (the Marine Corps will become an independent branch of the armed forces at the end of 2025), Pi Xingkang became the commander of the electronic information network, and Qi Hongfei became the commander of the Aerospace Forces (an independent arm established at the end of 2C25, mainly responsible for combat missions in outer space, which was still an empty shelf at that time).

On the basis of personnel adjustments, Xiang Hui made a comprehensive adjustment to the command system of the Republican Corps.

The local military districts, which were seriously weakened in the first round of military reform, have basically become "empty nests," and the new joint command and combat system has become the highest command organ of the army. The General Staff Headquarters has set up three executive deputy chiefs of general staff and three deputy chiefs of general staff, who are respectively the commanders or chiefs of staff of the three major branches of the army, navy, and air force, and the three independent arms of the army, navy, and air force. According to the reform plan submitted by Xiang Linghui (actually a reform plan drawn up for Zhao Rundong), in the future, the chief of the general staff will be abolished, and three executive deputy chiefs of the general staff will take turns to assume the post of chief of general staff, so as to balance the three major branches of the army, navy, and air force, and each deputy chief of general staff will set up a "chief of staff decision-making body" to enhance the capability of joint operations.

In doing so, the Army voluntarily gave up its status as a "big brother."

Although this move caused a huge repercussion in the army, it was widely used in the navy, the air force, and the three independent arms. Because the Army's share of the Republican Corps had fallen below that, the Army's opposition had little effect, and the other branches of the Army were more decisive.

In Li Cunxun's view, the biggest "victim" is Pei Chengyi, and the biggest "benefit" is Lin Xiaolei. This is because according to this reform plan, after Xiang Linghui leaves office, there will be no chief of general staff, and it will be the turn of the commander of the navy to assume the post of chief of general staff.

The purpose of the reform was not to weaken or strengthen whom, but to maximize the fighting power of the Republicans.

Before the 211th century, the Republic practiced "home defense" and the army was supreme. Until 2025, the Republic will implement "limited counterattack and coastal defense", and the status of the navy and air force will be enhanced, and the army will remain the most important. After 2025, the Republic will definitely go to the far seas and implement "ocean-going defense", and the importance of the navy and air force will obviously exceed that of the army, and even the importance of independent arms will be higher than that of the army.

According to the new defense policy, the republic must make adjustments to the structure of the army and the military command system.

Of course, the Army still has an irreplaceable position. The Army plays a decisive role in maintaining national stability and ensuring homeland security.

As Zhao Rundong's "heir", Wang Yuanqing spared no effort to carry out military reform.

In order to minimize the impact of military reform on Yuan's prestige, Xiang Linghui was responsible for most of the reform work. After the Korean Peninsula War, even if Xiang Linghui's prestige in the army had not reached the level of Peng Maobang's year, no one dared to challenge Xiang Linghui and Xiang Linghui's status.

More often, Wang Yuanqing played the role of a mediator of conflicts.

Li Cunxun knows very well that this is the "two-person turn" of Wang Yuanqing and Xiang Linghui. One sings black-faced, the other sings red-faced, and the disobedient generals are all cleaned up and obedient.

If Wang Yuanqing's performance in military reform is not outstanding enough, then in terms of scientific research, Wang Yuanqing's role can be replaced.

As a direct participant, Lee is well aware of how much effort Singapore has made to promote the "Yanhuang Plan" in many months. (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
