readx; Before the outbreak of the war in the middle of last year, the Chinese Army's field strength was only about 1.5 million, but after the end of the war, it had skyrocketed to as much as 2 million. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And that's not all.

Under normal circumstances, the army will definitely be demobilized on a large scale after the end of the war, especially the army as the main body of the war will be disarmed on a large scale.

According to this practice, the Chinese Army also carried out relevant disarmament after the Sino-Chinese War and the re-signing of the treaty with Soviet Russia, but this disarmament was only reduced to a large number of logistical support personnel urgently mobilized during the war. In this war, the Chinese Army not only mobilized the logistics units such as the baggage regiments of various divisions to the wartime establishment, but more importantly, the army also carried out large-scale organizational reform during the war.

The change of the number of troops from 1915 to 1922 was the bulk of the expansion during the war, which also caused the Chinese army to increase the size of the field army by a large margin although it did not increase the number of an infantry division during the war.

And this expansion did not stop even after the end of the war!

The change of the establishment of the whole army to the establishment of the whole army in 1922 was a matter that had been decided before the war, and the Sino-Japanese war and the Sino-Russian-Soviet war only accelerated this process, and this also meant that although the war was still over, the reform of the establishment had to continue.

Although a large number of mobilized troops have retired from active service because it is already peacetime, it is not only the strength of the army that really bothers the Chinese army, but a large number of technical weapons.

Compared with the previous 1915 establishment, the 1922 establishment added a large number of machine guns and mortars, and more importantly, the 105 mm howitzer was about to be mass-installed in the troops, and these increases in firepower required a lot of military funds to purchase weapons.

In addition to these simple increases in firepower, the army has already put forward a plan for the motorization of artillery, that is, it is ready to change the maneuver of those artillery regiments from the previous mule and horse to motorized.

However, the huge amount of money required to arm three armored divisions and four motorized infantry divisions alone is enough for the army to drink a pot, not to mention that the army is an artillery regiment of more than sixty infantry divisions, and in addition to these divisional artillery regiments, there are more than a dozen reading artillery brigades. If the artillery of these artillery units needs to be changed to truck towing, the cost will be seabound. Not to mention the fact that funding has been massively reduced, it is difficult to accomplish such a plan even in the war period, when there were many military expenditures allocated in the past.

Although the army has learned that the units of the great powers, including the United States and Britain, have begun to motorize artillery, due to the lack of funds for the army, even those high-ranking army officials, who have always taken the expansion of the army as their own responsibility, have to postpone the implementation of the plan to motorize artillery.

"Now the 3rd Armored Division has only one tank battalion and two motorized infantry battalions!" Ma Cheng took the report and said to Chen Jingyun: "Although the number of tanks in my country is not as good as that of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, considering that the main enemies of the army, the army and the Soviet army, are not equipped with a large number of tanks, so the current scale can be tolerated temporarily!" ”

Chen Jingyun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Ma Cheng's words, Ma Cheng, who had always been fighting for the expansion of the army, actually found himself today to ask for the suspension of the reorganization of the Third Armored Division and the two motorized infantry divisions.

"The Army's top priority now is to expand the 56 infantry divisions into a new 1922-style formation!" Ma Cheng once again explained his reasons: "The vast majority of China's divisions are still at the level before World War I, such as machine guns, and the divisions established in China in 1915 need three divisions to compete with the British, American and French armies in the middle and late stages of World War I. Not only the European and American powers, but even the Soviet and Russian forces were about to reach the level of the middle and late stages of World War I among the European and American powers. Although our army won a great victory in Korea during the Sino-Chinese War, in the Northeast Theater, in addition to the armored troops and cavalry units, nearly half of the other infantry units participated in the war were established in 1922, so that they could have stronger firepower than the army in person! ”

"Therefore, the army believes that the current military expenditure is limited, and the motorized armored units and artillery are too expensive, so it is prepared to suspend the motorized reorganization of the Third Armored Division and the Fifth and Sixth Divisions, and first concentrate all efforts to popularize the 1922 establishment in the whole army and increase the machine-gun density and artillery firepower of the troops!"

Chen Jingyun also knocked on the table after listening to this, Chen Jingyun's attention to the army has been on the armored forces in recent years, and the attention to ordinary infantry units is indeed less, now it is 1923, and the firepower density of the infantry units is not even comparable to the troops of the great powers during the First World War, which is not a good situation.

Chen Jingyun knows very well that although the armored forces are a good thing, the Chinese Army cannot all be armored units and motorized infantry divisions, and it is impossible to achieve such a goal even after a dozen or twenty years, and there will inevitably be a large number of traditional infantry divisions in large-scale operations. It's as if the armored forces are the spire, but the large number of traditional infantry divisions is the cornerstone of the Chinese Army.

"If it is good, the reorganization of the 3rd Armored Division and the 5th and 6th Divisions can be postponed, and the work of the infantry division will be done well in these two years!" Chen Jingyun said this, and Ma Cheng over there also said: "What the president said is that we still have two armored divisions and two motorized infantry divisions now, and if there is no national war, it will be enough to deal with it." Moreover, in the Sino-Chinese war, our T6 and T7 tanks also exposed some problems, and the Equipment Department is also working with the Wuhu Tank Factory to study solutions, which will be applied to improved models after being solved. ”

Although China's armored forces have participated in the Russian Civil War many times, the scale is not large, and when they participate in the war, they are at most an armored regiment, and in the Korean operation of the Sino-Chinese War, China has invested one armored division and two motorized infantry divisions, and the number of tanks participating in the war is as high as more than 200, half of which are new T6 medium tanks, and there are dozens of T7 heavy tanks. T6 and T7 tanks are the latest tanks developed by China after World War I based on the experience of the European theater and the Russian Civil War, which is also the first time to participate in large-scale operations, although T6 and T7 tanks have achieved great results in the North Korean operation, but they themselves have also exposed a large number of problems, after entering the Korean war, the armored forces have been in mobile operations, and such a long-distance march has made the tank have been seriously tested, and the Chinese tank technology in this year is actually average, However, it was impossible for the tanks to have no problems after hundreds of miles of continuous marching, so a large number of tanks broke down during the march, and most of them were power system problems.

When Zuo Yugang's armored group arrived in Busan, the 1st Armored Division, the 9th Division, and all the tanks of the 1st Division combined were less than 100, and among the more than 100 tanks lost, only about 20 tanks were actually destroyed by the Japanese army, and the rest were all broken down in various places along the way.

The Army, on its part, was prepared to wait for the T6 and T7 tanks to come out before forming the two tank battalions of the 3rd Panzer Division and the 5th and 6th Motorized Infantry Divisions.

After the 3rd Panzer Division and the 5th and 6th Divisions were postponed, the motorized artillery program, which was more costly, was even more difficult to realize for a while. At present, although the degree of mule and horse in the Chinese Army is somewhat insufficient, there are still horses that pull artillery for artillery, and now since they can be used, they should be used first.

However, the army also saw the necessity of motorized artillery, and there was no need to implement truck traction in those divisional artillery regiments for the time being, but in some reading artillery units, especially reading heavy artillery units, those 155 guns and 102 cannons were not light, and it would be much more convenient to change to trucks to tow.

Of course, the key point is that there are not many heavy artillery in the army, and not many trucks are needed to equip these heavy guns with semi-tracks or heavy trucks to tow and carry shells. This is also an early attempt.

Not long after Ma Cheng left, Yan Jing Kuang came in again: "President, Director Chen is here!" ”

Who else can there be in Yanjing Kuang's mouth in Director Chen besides Chen Cai, in the huge Nanjing Republican political axe system, there are many departments, there are also many departments, and there are many places, but what can be called a bureau is a military investigation bureau. Others are the general director, deputy director, or director, director or the like, but among the high-level leaders of the Nanjing Republican Political Axe, the title of director is exclusive to Chen Cai.

Chen Jingyun: "Let him in!" After that, he said: "Brew the tea sent from Fuzhou some time ago and send it up!" ”

Yanjing Kuang said that he went out, and after a while, Chen Cai walked in steadily, more than ten years have passed, and Chen Cai, who was only in his twenties when he started with Chen Jingyun, has now become a mature man in his thirties.

Like other times when no one was around, Chen Cai walked in and shouted, "Young Master! ”

Chen Jingyun nodded: "Don't stand, sit down!" ”

Chen Cai has followed Chen Jingyun for so many years, so he naturally knows Chen Jingyun's spleen surname, and Chen Cai can hear it as soon as he hears it or the truth, and he knows that Chen Jingyun doesn't like others to refuse or postpone it. The high position has been weighted for a long time, and what is said is not allowed to be questioned by others, regardless of whether the words are good or bad. Not only Chen Jingyun is like this, but even Chen Cai is the same when facing his subordinates, and what he says is not allowed to be questioned by others.

For Chen Cai, the person next to him, Chen Jingyun didn't put on too many shelves, after the two sat down, they looked up at the military uniform on Chen Cai's body, and asked casually: "Why did you wear a military uniform?" ”

Chen Cai is wearing the general general uniform of the Chinese Army today, and on the epaulettes are two gold stars of the lieutenant general. The Military Investigation Bureau is nominally a military investigative agency, so like the Military Intelligence Service, its staff are all active military personnel. It's just that the Military Intelligence Department is under the direct jurisdiction of the State Military Commission, while the Military Investigation Bureau has nothing to do with the State Military Commission and is directly under the management of the Presidential Office, in other words, directly under the management of Chen Jingyun.

Chen Caiping, who is known to the world as Chen Jingyun's dog's leg, said that he rarely wears a military uniform and wears his military rank, but not only that, but although the other staff members of the Investigation Bureau are nominally soldiers, they generally do not wear military uniforms and military ranks, and they all wear the same suits as ordinary public servants. Chen Cai, who often accompanies Chen Jingyun on his trips, usually wears a black suit, which looks no different from an ordinary political axe official.

Outsiders' impression of the Bureau of Investigation as an intelligence agency is mostly that a large number of men in black suits suddenly break into the home of a political axe officer in the middle of the night and arrest the offender.

Therefore, although Chen Cai still has the title of lieutenant general, no one has ever called him Lieutenant General Chen, and when people call him Director Chen, and his subordinates call him director instead of general, the same thing is also found in various departments and sections under the Investigation Bureau.

Chen Jingyun, who rarely saw Chen Cai wearing a military uniform, also felt a little strange, why this person was wearing a military uniform.

If someone else asked Chen Cai this question, Chen Cai probably answered lazily, but Chen Jingyun asked Chen Cai is smile and said: "The mother-in-law at home just now said that she wanted to take a picture and let me wear a formal dress, so I put it on, and then I didn't change it when I came over!" ”

"Oh!" Chen Jingyun said: "I'll change it when I go back, I don't feel right when you wear a military uniform!" ”

Chen Cai smiled: "Who said it wasn't!" I don't feel right in my uniform! ”

When the two were talking, Yan Jing Kuang also brought the tea, Yan Jing Kuang is also a person with eyesight, and when he saw them smiling, he probably didn't talk about business, so he talked after bringing the tea: "Director Chen, you are so blessed today, this tea is the spring tea sent from Fuzhou!" ”

"Is it from your own tea garden?" Chen Cai hurriedly took the tea and drank it.

Chen Jingyun spoke: "Well, my mother knows that I am good at this tea, so after picking spring tea, I sent someone to send some!" ”

After Chen Cai took a sip, he showed a satisfied look: "It's good to drink the tea in your own house!" ”

Chen Jingyun said with a smile: "Needless to say, I will also send you some, take half a catty with you when you leave!" ”

Chen Cai laughed again when he heard it: "Then I won't postpone it, when I went back to Fuzhou to visit the old lady some time ago, the spring tea was not good, otherwise I would have brought some back!" ”

Chen Cai and Chen Jingyun have a special relationship with the Chen family, he was born as an orphan, he was a servant in the Chen family since he was a child, and later followed Chen Jingyun as a soldier, and became Chen Jingyun's personal soldier in the pre-Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Chen Cai has always regarded the Chen family as his own home, and the old lady Chen Yu as his mother to be honored, and often went back to Fuzhou to visit her. Not only that, but even Chen Cai's marriage was arranged by Chen Yu's family.

Therefore, when Fuzhou Liuhe Lane sent something to Nanjing, most of the time he would prepare a copy for Chen Cai.

"When you went back to Fuzhou a few days ago, you saw my mother, how is her old man's health?" Chen Jingyun said while seeing that Yanjing Kuang next to him was still standing, he immediately turned his head and said, "Don't stand still, sit down!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang had been waiting for Chen Jingyun's words for a long time, and when he heard it, he hurriedly sat down, and without Chen Jingyun's instructions, he poured himself such a cup of tea, and then took a sip, to be honest, although the taste of this tea is good, there is still some gap compared with those top teas, but in Yan Jing Kuang's heart, the taste of this tea is a hundred times better than those top teas.

This tea is not about the taste, but about the relationship between drinking, how did this tea come about? It was planted in the Chen family's own tea garden in Fuzhou, and there were not many in total, and after this was picked, Chen Yu from Fuzhou sent it to Chen Jingyun, who likes to drink tea. Yanjing Kuang Ke knew very well that there were not many people who could drink this tea, let alone drink it with Chen Jingyun.

Chen Cai over there doesn't know tea like Yanjing Kuang, the tea in front of him is more like the taste of home for Chen Cai, and it doesn't matter whether it is fragrant or not.

"When I went back to see it, the old lady's health was fine, but how old she was, Dean Lin from Fuzhou said that the old lady's body was still a little weak, and the cold at the end of last year was not thorough!" Chen Cai also showed a worried look when he spoke.

Chen Jingyun looked at him like this, and he also sighed a little in his heart, picking up filial piety, Chen Cai was much stronger than himself. Since moving the political axe station to Nanjing, Chen Yu's family has always insisted on not coming to Nanjing to live, saying that he would stay in his hometown of Liuhe Lane in Fuzhou. In the face of the old man's insistence, Chen Jingyun had no choice, but fortunately, there were still many clansmen in Fuzhou, and the uncles were also there. Over the years, due to his too sensitive identity and the fact that there is no railway on land, it is very troublesome for Chen Jingyun to want to go back to Fuzhou, and he can't let the navy mobilize the people to escort him back to visit the old man with a whole fleet every time. Therefore, the number of times he has returned to Fuzhou over the years is limited, and although Chen Yu's family also went to Nanjing once, in general, the mother and son have very little time to meet. But Chen Cai goes back to Fuzhou every year.

"Well, just say hello to Dean Lin another day and ask him to pay more attention!" The President Lin in Chen Jingyun's mouth is the president of Fuzhou Hospital.

Yan Jing Kuang on the side said: "I know! ”

Because of the fact that there is a Chen Yu family living in Fuzhou, the equipment and technical level of Fuzhou Hospital are not weaker than those of several large hospitals in Shanghai and Nanjing Hospital. In addition to the subsidy from the local political axe, it has received a large number of donations from Huaxia Bank, just like Nanjing Hospital.

Chen Jingyun, who has always cherished his own surname and the surname of his family, asked Huaxia Bank to donate to Nanjing Hospital and Fuzhou Hospital a long time ago, in order to get good treatment when necessary.

After the three of them talked, Chen Cai said, "Young master, I have something to say today!" ”

As soon as Chen Jingyun heard it, he knew that it was time to get down to business, and it would not be Chen Jingyun's order, and Yan Jingkuang on the side got up: "I'll go out to work first!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang went out and closed the door, this Chen Caicai said: "I got the news in the morning, the Kuomintang has made a big move recently!" ”

"Kuomintang? Not dead yet? Chen Jingyun is now tired of hearing the names of the Kuomintang and Sun Wen, for so many years the Kuomintang has been dead but not stiff, and whenever Chen Jingyun thinks that Sun Wen has disappeared, it will pop up again. A few years ago, the Investigation Bureau launched a large-scale survey operation, which almost completely allocated the Kuomintang stronghold in China, but hunted down and killed thousands of Kuomintang backbone elements, and finally launched the assassination of the Kuomintang backbone, and after Sun Wen escaped at that time, China's intelligence department has not given up the assassination of Sun Wen and others in recent years, but it has not been successful.

"What, what are they going to do this time?" Chen Jingyun asked.

Chen Cai said: "According to the report of my subordinates, they want to incite the workers to go on strike in several industrial zones in Shanghai and Wuhu, which is nominally to fight for the welfare of the workers, but the Kuomintang group must be thinking of taking the opportunity to riot!" ”

After Chen Jingyun heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy: "Since you know the news, you must act in time and don't leave any hidden dangers!" ”

And at this time, Chen Cai said something that shocked Chen Jingyun again: "And this time they not only have their own support, but also the support of Soviet Russia in the future!" ”

"The Social Workers?" Chen Jingyun muttered: "They finally can't help it!" ”――

Going out in recent days, the update may be unstable, but I will try to keep it up
