Volume 5 Heavy Tree History Chapter 687 The Unification of the Whole Country

In the whole country's condemnation of the province, Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Yunnan, finally stopped insisting, after all, all the surrounding provinces were electrified and reorganized, which put a lot of pressure on him. Moreover, the people of Yunnan Province have marched and demonstrated to protest against Tang Jiyao's independence, Tang Jiyao was a hero who formed a protector with Cai Yi, but now he is opposed by the people of Yunnan Province, and he feels that he has gone against the grain. Of course, the most fatal blow to him was the former comrades-in-arms of the People's Party, who came to admonish one after another, and the situation in the army was also unstable. The influence of the Kuomintang in the south is very great, although it does not directly control the army, but it is this influence that makes the Dian army begin to have internal strife. For the sake of himself and his subordinates, Tang Jiyao sent a telegram to receive the reorganization of the National Defense Force and support the reunification of the whole country.

Subsequently, Tang Jiyao announced to all the officers and men of the Yunnan Army that he had accepted the reorganization of the National Defense Force, and that the Yunnan Army was not allowed to resist, and those who disobeyed would not be killed immediately. In order to appease Tang Jiyao, Wang Mao, commander of the National Defense Forces and chief of the army, ordered Tang Jiyao's unit to be reorganized into three divisions, namely the 48th Division, the 49th Division, and the 50th Division, and the division commanders were Gu Pinzhen, Zhao Youxin, and Ye Quan.

The National Defense Army newly established the Nine-Infant Regiment of the 13th Army, the commander of which was Tang Jiyao, and the Gu Pinzhen Division of the 48th Division of the Yunnan Army, the Shen Hongying Division of the 46th Division of the Gui Army, and the Tang Shizun Department of the 40th Division of the Sichuan Army. Tang Jiyao also understood that Wang Maoru was starting to divide power to prevent a single force from becoming too big, if he himself would do the same, but he was unwilling, then Shen Hongying and Tang Shizun would be so light and obedient to him. Luo Peijin, chief of staff of the Yunnan Army, was transferred north to serve as the chief of staff of the Suzaku Regiment of the Fifth Army stationed in Liaoning. Most of the reorganization of the Dian army was completed, and the main generals of the Dian army were properly settled, so the reorganization of the Dian army did not suffer any resistance. And Li Liejun, chief of the general staff of the Kuomintang, made a great contribution. Wang Maoru deliberately promoted him to the rank of lieutenant general of the National Defense Army and appointed him as the chief of staff of the 11th Army's Jingwei Regiment.

On 26 May of the 10th year of the Republic of China, when the senators of the whole country arrived in Beijing to convene the parliament of the Republic of China, Tang Jiyao sent another telegram to the whole country announcing that he would accept the reorganization of the national defense forces, and thus the national army was initially reunified.

The reorganization of the Dian army marked the beginning of an era that had followed a brief period of peace in the early years of the Republic of China. After 10 years of war, China has finally emerged in a situation where it can be reunified. Although many people are deluding themselves into believing that the labor of national unity is not in Wang Maoru. Because many warlords were either deceived or because they did not want to continue the war and their lives were reorganized. However, it is undeniable that if it were not for the strong strength of the Wehrmacht, no one would be willing to be captured.

May 27, the 10th year of the Republic of China. Facing 78 senators and 441 members of the House of Representatives, Army Chief Wang Maoru announced: "Starting today. The Chinese civil power was reunified, and now the fingers of the Chinese are finally clenched into a fist, and from then on, there will be no civil war in China, and the Chinese will never shoot at the Chinese again! The audience applauded thunderously, and China was finally reunited in the midst of stumbling and struggling.

After the unification of the National Defense Forces, all local armies named after provinces and townships will be banned on Chinese mainland. China will implement four modes of echelon of defense forces. The first echelon is composed of the regular army, that is, China has 50 divisions and regiments with a total of 1.2 million national defense forces. It includes soldiers who have not yet been reorganized and streamlined, and it is planned to work with the Republic of China for 12 years, after the streamlining of the National Defense Army 900,000 people, the Marine Corps will have five thousand people in three marine divisions, the army aviation garrison and airborne troops will have a total of 10,000 people, Wang Maoru's guard force will be 40,000, and the total strength of the Chinese National Defense Force will reach one million.

The second national defense echelon force is the armed police brigade of 34 provinces in the country, at this time the armed police brigade was only 200,000 people, and it is planned that by the 12th year of the Republic of China, the armed police brigade will reach 300,000 people, as the most important supplementary force of the national army.

The third national defense echelon is the police, patrol police, and military cadets, and it is planned that by the 12th year of the Republic of China, the total number of police officers and cadets in the country will reach 300,000.

The fourth national defense echelon is retired soldiers, reserve soldiers, etc., and only in Heilongjiang Province has actually made the national reserve plan so far, and the reserve soldiers in Heilongjiang Province have reached 800,000, accounting for a quarter of the total population of Heilongjiang Province. The total number of all reserve soldiers in the country, including Heilongjiang Province, will exceed one million.

Although the number of soldiers is not the key factor in determining victory or defeat, the total number of troops in the four defense echelons has reached 2.7 million, which is enough to make any country fearful. If there is another war of aggression against China, Wang Maoru only needs to announce the total number of national defense forces, and those countries that attack China's idea will have to weigh it first. As a matter of fact, as far as the present situation is concerned, if nothing happens and the country is not divided, it will be even more difficult for Japan to invade China. As long as Wang Maoru maintains China's unity, neither the 918 nor 77 incidents will occur.

At the time of the reorganization of the whole army, the merger of the War Department and the National Defense Force had come to an end, and the personnel exchanges and composition of the two sides had basically ended, and after the merger, the military would only have the name of the Ministry of National Defense. Wang Maoru further unified and strengthened his power, established his personal prestige, and secretly weakened the influence of local warlords, although the country had just been unified, and not everyone bought his account, but the power of this soft knife was slowly revealed.

At the same time, in the name of the commander of the National Defense Forces, Wang Maoru formally conferred military ranks on the commanders of the 13 corps, all the 13 corps commanders and chiefs of staff conferred the rank of general of the Wehrmacht, all 50 division commanders were conferred the rank of lieutenant general of the Wehrmacht, and all 147 brigade commanders were conferred the rank of major general of the Wehrmacht.

Military ranks and new military uniforms, command knives, military brim hats issued by the General Staff to the hands of each commander, these military uniforms are tailored to each commander, the clothing is both handsome and handsome, from the military uniform alone, by no means inferior to the British and French officer uniforms.

Subsequently, Wang Maoru held a conference on the ideological unification of the National Defense Forces in Beijing, requiring all corps commanders to be in place, and among the thirteen corps commanders, except for Tang Jiyao and Ren Yuanxing, who were too remote in their places, all of them were present. Liu Xiang had just arrived in Wuhan, so he took the train back to Beijing directly.

Wang Maoru was very modest at the first defense meeting of the Wehrmacht, saying that he had stolen this position, but his ability was not as good as that of those who were doing it, and if anyone had objections and opposed his post as commander of the Wehrmacht, he was willing to retire and give way. Including Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin, Gong Xiaoqi, Liu Xiang and others looked at each other, how dare they say that Wang Maoru is not worthy.

Zhang Zuolin slapped the table, and the little man shouted in a loud voice: "Whoever the fuck opposes Xiusheng, I will oppose whom!" ”

His mind turned quickly, and it was impossible for others to say anything, Gong Xiaoqi said: "Xiushuai is the commander, I obey, others are the commander, I don't accept it." ”

Zhao Zengfu said: "Since there is no objection, please ask Xiushuai not to excuse himself." ”

And the Chief of Military Affairs He Rufei smiled strangely and said: "The army chief is appointed by the prime minister, what if someone opposes Xiu Shuai as the army chief?" ”

Zhang Baowu said coldly with a hint of murderous intent: "Whoever is against it, I Zhang Lichen asked his whole family to sing the national anthem together in the Netherworld." ”

Wu Peifu laughed and said: "Don't be so panicked, the position of the army chief, you can't sit down by another person, if anyone's ass sits down, it is estimated that you will automatically go into the field the next day." ”

As a result, Wang Maoru was recommended by all military commanders to continue to serve as the commander of the National Defense Forces. In the next meeting, Wang Maoru told the commanders of each corps about the plan of the War Department, which was divided into two parts: internal and external, internal purge of bandits, robbers, bullies, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and return the people to a quiet world; Externally, several legions stationed in the border defense, namely the Qinglong Legion stationed in Nurgan, the Xuanwu Legion stationed in Mongolia, the White Tiger Legion stationed in the Western Regions, and the Jianwei Legion stationed in Chuankang, take advantage of the international inattention to secretly expand the national territory.

In the end, Wang Maoru demanded that all regiments and divisions must obey the command as their duty, obey only the commander of the Wehrmacht, not be interfered with by any non-military, and not try to be the emperor of the soil, and everyone expressed their support. After the meeting, everyone took the plane back to their garrison. On the same day that the corps commanders returned, the Wehrmacht Command Center, the War Department, and the Navy Department were merged to form the future Ministry of Defense, and a meeting of the main responsible persons of the Ministry of Defense was held overnight.

At this meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, Wang Maoru made it clear that the heads of the eight headquarters departments of the Ministry of National Defense in the future will be in charge of all of them, except for the coast guard headquarters, and all of them will be led by Wang Maoru's henchmen. Of course, people are now the boss, and now they enjoy the rights, so naturally they are still the chiefs. However, a large number of local warlord officers have also been transferred to the headquarters, either as heads or as military officers, and there is no local force in this list that can be discriminated against or suppressed.

Of course, when arranging the table, the order is also very interesting, it announces the status and order of these people in the army, the first Wang Maoru, the second Jiang Fangzhen, He Rufei has jumped to the third place, Li Delin is ranked fourth, and Yong Xingbao, the future chief of staff, is only ranked fifth.

The military was busy unifying the army and unifying its thinking, and Wang Maoru also immediately warned the army not to act independently and stubbornly and to spoil national affairs for the sake of a small hill. He made another personnel appointment, and some of the core of power was in the hands of Wang Maoru's lineage, such as the finance and procurement offices of all the regiments, which were all candidates whom Wang Maoru trusted very much, while other departments still delegated power to local officers. At the two meetings, Wang Maoru tightly strengthened his own rights and made the entire national defense force more controllable by himself. (To be continued.) )
