readx; After completing the consolidation of internal power, what Chen Jingyun is most afraid of is his own reliance. The army's defeated, if it is really defeated, then he Chen Jingyun will be as gray as Sun Wen and go into exile, although it is said that he has made a lot of money by using Huaxia Bank in the past two years, which is enough for him to squander for a hundred years, but once the power is lost, then it is absolutely painful, and even Chen Jingyun has thought that if he really fails, he will never learn from Sun Wen to flee, nor will he learn from Cai Yi to be under house arrest, let alone lead the remnants of the army to flee to the outer islands like the bald head, Taiwan is not good, and Hainan will not go. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info when the time comes, you have to learn a führer, and at the last moment, you will reward yourself with a bullet.

Even he carefully thought about the specific plan of suicide, such as sending Lin Yun and Dong Bai's women and children to a foreign country first, and he insisted on it until the last moment, and after the city was broken, he committed suicide with his beloved revolver gold-plated pistol, and then let the person who had ordered him in advance to cremate himself. It's just that I don't know how many people will die with him at that time, there are a lot of soldiers of the National Army who died in the war, but none of those senior generals and even middle-level officers and those officials will die with Chen Jingyun, maybe Chen Cai's dog leg will do, without Chen Jingyun supporting him behind him, he won't be able to survive for a day, and he won't have to be divided by people within the National Army without the Beiyang Army to fight; Zhao Biqiu of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Socialist Party may also be, this person has been dizzy by Chen Jingyun's set of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, and now in the whole of China, I am afraid that he is the only one who believes in the Kuomintang Party constitution in all aspects, and he is afraid that he will also be martyred for the Kuomintang in his heart.

And after these worries lasted for a long time, now with the victory in Jiangbei, all of them have been swept away, Chen Jingyun even went to see Dong Bai's family, and teased his son and said: "Maybe your father and I can really leave an empire for you!" ”

Dong Bai was stunned when he heard it, and he thought that Chen Jingyun was ready to become the emperor! It took me a long time to understand that Chen Jingyun said that the empire does not have an emperor, but a country that pursues imperialism, what is the righteousness of imperialism, that is, you can fight whoever you want!

So we should be proud that day when foreigners really scolded us for being imperial! A weak country can only scold others as imperialism, and it is impossible for itself to obtain this word that represents glory and strength!

The victory in Jiangbei made the whole Nationalist Army extremely excited, and large-scale propaganda was set off in the area ruled by the Nationalist Army, and a casino in Shanghai has opened a gambling game, betting on when Chen Jingyun will set foot on the land of Yanjing! And divided a series of options before this year, the first half of next year, the second half of next year, and the year after next. And most people think that the Nationalist Army will enter Yanjing in the first half of next year.

When the outside was boiling, many generals of the National Army were not immersed in excitement, and from the moment the National Army took Jiangbei, Shen Gang and other people in the staff had already begun to plan the next round of war.

"Although Feng Guozhang's Second Army has escaped from our encirclement, but through the air force's reconnaissance, their remaining strength is less than 30,000, and they lack heavy weapons and equipment, as long as our army continues to pursue and does not give them time to rest, it is still possible to continue to inflict heavy losses on this Beiyang Army." Shen Gang, like the other Nationalist Army generals present, had obvious joy on his face.

In addition to the victory in Jiangbei, he was instructed by Chen Jingyun to prepare for a large-scale reward for the Jiangbei Campaign, which lasted for three months, and asked the General Staff to draw up a list of middle and low-level officers to be promoted. Since middle and low-level officers have rewards, then senior officers must also be indispensable, and the promotion of this senior officer has always been Chen Jingyun's final say, so even Shen Gang can't interfere now.

But since there is this matter, it can be expected that many high-ranking generals will be promoted, and Shen Gang thinks that although he did not personally lead troops to the front line in these months of war, he has finalized various strategic plans, and when it comes to credit, he thinks that he is not much worse than other generals.

In this case, a general rank should not be able to run!

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Chen Jingyun set up the rank of marshal above the rank of general, and awarded this marshal rank to himself without shame. The purpose of this is naturally to vacate the rank of general, otherwise if he Chen Jingyun has always been a general, it will be difficult to promote his subordinates, and because he started by relying on the army, it is impossible for him to directly say that he does not want this rank and become a pure politician like Yuan Shikai, Chen Jingyun has maintained his military identity from beginning to end, even after becoming the interim president of the Republic of China, he still regards himself as the marshal of the National Army, and he has always been dressed in military uniform when attending official occasions. Since the identity of a soldier cannot be abandoned, then in order to vacate a place for his subordinates, and at the same time, it is also to open up the gap between himself and Tang Jirao and Lu Rongting, so Chen Jingyun is to get the rank of marshal.

This marshal rank is simply for himself to be established, and for the time being, he has no intention of conferring it on his subordinates, and he may take out this marshal rank as a general when he unifies China and then carries out large-scale promotions, and when the time comes, he himself will set up a higher military rank for himself, such as generalissimo, such as marshal and so on.

Chen Jingyun's approach naturally encouraged many generals of the National Army, after all, Chen Jingyun vacated his position so that these subordinates had a chance to be promoted, and after the lieutenant generals were promoted to generals, those major generals had the opportunity to be promoted to lieutenant generals, and the major generals vacated their positions, and only those colonels who had made military achievements could be promoted to generals.

In short, every time Chen Jingyun promoted his subordinate officers on a large scale, he would arouse the enthusiastic support of the officers, and continuous promotion and promotion was also a good way to maintain the loyalty of his subordinates.

There is nothing in wartime that satisfies those officers more than promotion!

However, before the large-scale promotion, Chen Jingyun still had to undergo a new round of adjustment of the national army system, and the various organs under the State Military Commission should be more complete and many departments should be added. At present, the subordinate organs of the five major ministries are still relatively primitive, and most of them still maintain the initial appearance when the three major ministries were established, but as the national army becomes larger and larger, it will eventually be responsible for the defense of the whole country, so it is necessary to build a complete and detailed national defense organization.

For this reason, Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Yi and others, after referring to the German affairs system and the military system, carried out a large-scale adjustment of the various organs under the National Military Commission of the National Army and added many institutions, and these additional institutions will also lead a large number of middle and high-level positions for the National Army.

After all, if you want to promote subordinate generals, you must also prepare positions for them when they are promoted, and you can't just move them to the rank of military rank, and you can't just transfer them from important positions to become military advisers and the like just for the sake of promotion.

In addition to the adjustment and addition of the five major ministries and institutions, Chen Jingyun also plans to carry out a new round of adjustment for the field troops of the Nationalist Army in the Jiangbei area, and this adjustment is relatively simple, because the divisions and mixed brigades under the various armies of the Nationalist Army are all temporarily assigned, and there is no fixed establishment under the army-level headquarters, just like the Third Army, from Guangzhou to Shanghai to Qingjiangpu, except for the Third Division, the troops under its jurisdiction have not changed, and now in addition to the Third Division, there is also the Eleventh Division. Eighteenth Mixed Brigade.

The First Army and the Second Army are also similar, and the troops under their jurisdiction have changed greatly, and with the end of the Jiangbei Campaign, the next step of the Nationalist Army will be to march in all directions, including northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other directions. In order to command the troops in combat more effectively, it is very necessary to carry out a new round of readjustment of the units under the jurisdiction of the various armies, send the units with intact combat effectiveness to the front line, and temporarily withdraw the units that have suffered great losses, such as the Fifth Mixed Brigade and the Eighth Division, for rest and recuperation.

In addition to the adjustment of the inherent troops, Chen Jingyun has also ordered the General Staff to carry out the formation of two divisions and the formation of five mixed brigades; in addition to replenishing new recruits, it is also necessary to use the Beiyang Army that surrendered to Chengcheng, and even a large part of the weapons and equipment are directly used from the weapons and equipment captured from the Beiyang Army. In the case of expansion, it means that some units will be directly transferred from the original units to form new units.

The reason why this number is different from the original 11 divisions of the 11 divisions of the Nationalist Army is that the numbers of the 12th to 20th Divisions have already been given to the Dian Army and the Gui Army, and the same is true for the numbers of the mixed brigades, from the 5th Mixed Brigade to the 13th Mixed Brigade are occupied by the Dian Army and the Gui Army, and the numbers of the newly established mixed brigades of the Nationalist Army are all counted from the 14th Mixed Brigade.

The two divisions formed temporarily used weapons and equipment captured from Beiyang, and the rifles mainly used Type 88 rifles and Hanyang-made, and the Nationalist Army captured a large number of Type 88 rifles and Hanyang-made in this Jiangbei Campaign, and there was no problem in equipping the two divisions, and even the expanded mixed brigades would also use Type 88 rifles and Hanyang-made. The pistols are more difficult, and they all directly use the original pistols of the Beiyang Army.

There is a difference between the machine guns equipped by the Beiyang Army and the MG99, 01, and 08 machine guns equipped by the National Army. However, in order to avoid logistical troubles, the Logistics Department planned to collect these captured heavy machine guns from various units and then assign them to the 21st and 22nd Divisions separately. The situation of light machine guns is even worse, because the Beiyang Army, like the Nationalist Army, uses Madsen light machine guns, and the troops below directly make up for the combat losses after capturing these light machine guns.

In terms of heavy weapons, mortars had to be re-equipped, but the output of the Fuzhou Arsenal was limited, and the Nationalist Army had experienced a lot of wear and tear after several major wars, and the production capacity of mortars could not be supplemented with mortars for these two divisions for a while, so they could only transfer a small part from other units, and it was impossible to achieve full strength, but it was still possible to give two mortars to a battalion.
