Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

No matter how lively the carnival is, there will be a day when it will end...

Although the occupation of the whole of Siberia is indeed an unimaginable feat―――――― well, in fact, there is still a long way to go before the occupation of Siberia is reached, at least, at this moment, there are still many towns in Siberia that have not yet submitted to the national government, but are still loyal to Russia, and it is difficult to say that China has completely occupied Siberia before these towns are eliminated...

But in any case, the division of Russia in two, and the occupation of at least two-thirds of Russia's territory, is an unimaginable feat from any point of view.

But as I said earlier, no matter how lively the carnival is, there will be an end of the day.

Even if it seems to be an eternal sun, doesn't there be an end day―――――― of course, we will definitely not be able to see that day...

――――――――――――――――――――

Outside Yan Shao's presidential palace, a sedan stopped steadily in front of the steps.

After the car door opened, Cai Yi, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the car, looked up at the magnificent presidential palace in front of him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Since leading the troops out and implementing the westward expansion strategy, it seems that he has not seen this shocking building for a long time, and now it seems...

"It's as shocking as when I first saw it...", muttered, and Cai gently patted the dust on his pants.

At this time, a staff member who seemed to be a little young walked out of the presidential palace, and immediately showed a surprised expression when he saw Cai Yi.

"General Cai, you can be regarded as here, just now the president was still asking why you haven't arrived yet..."

"No way..."Cai Yi smiled bitterly. The car broke down in the middle of the road, and I came here with a new one..."

I don't know if it's unlucky, Cai Ye's car suddenly broke down on the way here. However, in this era, there was no wireless phone or mobile phone, and in the end, there was no way, so Cai Ye had to run to a nearby house with his adjutant and call a car by phone.

One comes and goes. It also took a lot of time.

"Anyway, it's good to be here, the ministers and generals are already waiting inside now..." Am I the only one who hasn't been here yet? ”

"yes. The ministers of the various departments and General Feng have all arrived, so you are left alone..."

Saying this, the staff member led Cai Ye to turn left and right in the presidential palace, and finally came to the door of the conference room. "They're waiting inside, President, you go in first, I won't go in..."

Saying that, the staff member smiled at Cai Yi. Then he turned and left.

After hesitating for a moment, Cai Ye pushed open the door of the conference room, and saw that Yan Shao, Feng Guozhang and others were already sitting at the long conference table, and there was only one vacant seat left on the huge long table, twenty or thirty seats...

"Sorry, there was something wrong with the car on the road. So it's a little late...", Cai explained as he walked into the room.

"I've heard about it, you can sit down first..."

Not to mention that the Special Affairs Bureau was going to monitor the high-level government to a certain extent, Cai Ye had called, of course Yan Shao could not have known, which was why he didn't mind.

On the other hand, when they saw Cai Yi, Feng Guozhang and the others also nodded at him with a smile.

Wait until Cai Ye is seated. Yan Shao glanced around at everyone present, and then said in a deep voice. "Everyone understands the situation, except for General Jiang Baili and several other generals who are currently fighting the Germans in Europe and can't come back for the time being, everyone else has basically arrived..."

"As for the content of this meeting, everyone also understands that with the success of the northbound strategy and the westward expansion strategy. Although there are still a large number of towns in the hinterland of Siberia that have not surrendered, they have little say in this matter in a short period of time when the Entente and the Central Powers are fighting each other, and they are isolated and helpless. Those Russians who have not yet recognized the reality will understand sooner or later ...

"And in the case that the Entente and the Central Powers are temporarily unable to take care of this matter, what we need most at present is to gain a foothold in Siberia and Central Asia, and at present General Cai Ye has done a good job in this matter, the renovation project of Yekaterinburg has begun, the whole city is being improved towards a fortress city, and the Third Army has also swept across Kazakhstan, and now the front has been advanced to the line between the Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains, and now Russia has basically become a European country completely, As long as we can withstand the counterattack that may come later, this vast territory will become part of the Republic..."

"Later, before going north and west, I was told that I should change the current plan for the deployment of troops. In the past, the distribution method of one division in one province was no longer in line with the actual situation, and it should be changed to a military region for deployment, so as to make it more convenient for the command and coordination between troops......... After the occupation of Central Asia and Siberia, the territory of our country has changed dramatically, and if the military region had been demarcated early, then there would have been some trouble, and conversely, if it had been delayed, it would have been relatively simpler to talk about it after the military operation had been successful, and that is why I did not agree to it in the first place, but have been pressing it all along. ”

"Now that the military operation has been successful, and the changes should begin, I will call everyone here this time, just for such a thing, of course, if it is just this matter, it seems that there is no need to call the ministers of the cabinet as well..." Therefore, in addition to the affairs of the military region, even the administrative division of the newly occupied land was also carried out this time, and after the meeting discussed a result, we announced the result, and it was also saved from hiding it―――――― anyway, we know what our purpose is, and there is no need to be so hypocritical..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Zong Wu and the others on the side looked a little helpless. Because of the so-called political zhì. In essence, it is an art of compromise, and in a more obscene way, it is more hypocritical than whom...

But now after all, they are talking about business, so they don't want to talk about anything else.

In fact, in order to talk about the distribution of the military region this time, Yan Shaoke called back all the senior generals in China, such as Feng Guozhang, Cai Yi, Wu Peifu and others on the front line. It should be clarified. Wu Peifu's luck is obviously much stronger than Cai Yi, although he only arrived in Beijing yesterday, but on the way today, his car did not encounter any accidents, and arrived at Yan Shao's presidential palace very smoothly...

It can be said that in addition to Jiang Baili and others in Europe. Basically, those who should have come back have already returned. At this moment, when Yan Shao said that he wanted to talk about the distribution of the military region, someone soon stood up and asked.

"I don't know what the president means, how is he going to distribute it?"

Yan Shao looked over, it was Xiao Yongyan, who had only returned to China not long ago. Now Xiao Yongyan has also become a regiment commander, so he naturally has the qualifications to be among them.

"It's very simple..."Yan Shao said without hesitation. Naturally, according to the situation..."

In fact, Yan Shao had already talked to Fu Xiuming and them a little before this matter, so he could come as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The so-called military region refers to the command organ of the military region in peacetime. It is the wartime theater command structure. It is not only an important intermediate command level connecting the headquarters and the troops, but also the highest leadership organ in the theater. As for the duties of the military region, under the command of the central authorities, in accordance with the overall strategic intent, it is responsible for organizing joint combat operations and exercises of the units of the six armed forces, the navy, and the air force in the region, and directly leading the organizational building, military training, administrative management, political work, and logistical support of the units of the six armed forces under its command. Lead the work of the militia, military service, mobilization, civil air defense, and battlefield construction in the region. ”

"I plan to divide 11 major military regions in China according to the actual situation, namely the Beijing Military Region, which is responsible for Beijing, Hebei, Inner and Outer Mongolia, and Shanxi. In addition, there are the Shenyang Military Regions, which are responsible for Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, and the Jinan Military Region, which is responsible for Shandong and Henan. The Nanjing Military Region is responsible for Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, the Lanzhou Military Region is responsible for Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Xinjiang, the Chengdu Military Region is responsible for Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Tibet, and the Guangzhou Military Region is responsible for Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hunan, and Hubei..."

"There are seven of them, mainly the military districts responsible for the interior, and in addition to this, there is also the division of the newly occupied territories, namely the Ural Military District, with Yekaterinburg as its headquarters. Mainly in charge of the defense of the Ural Mountains, responsible for preventing the counterattack of the Russians, ensuring the security of the Ural Mountains, etc..."

"There is also the Vladivostok Military District, which is mainly responsible for eastern Siberia. the task of defending the outer northeast and Sakhalin islands..."

"After that, the Astana Military Region, which is responsible for the support task in Central Asia―――――― in fact, I originally planned to call it the Caspana Naval District, after all, the front line of this military region is near the Caspian Sea, but considering that other cities are named after cities, if the Astana Military Region becomes somewhere, it seems a little inappropriate, so ......... The tasks of the Astana Military District are also very simple, like the Ural Military District, they are mainly focused on ensuring security at the front ...

"The last one is the Baghdad Military District......... The main defense area of the Baghdad Military District is the newly occupied territory of the surrounding expeditionary forces, and the task of the military district is to ensure the security of the territory..."

――――――――――――――――――――

After listening to Yan Shao's words, the conference room was a little quiet, and after half a ring, Cai Ye said softly. "Eleven military districts ..."

"That's right." Yan Shao nodded, don't look at him singing every night, his ears are still quite smart. "What I've been hesitating about here is actually Siberia, but considering that Siberia is too large, and in addition to the Urals, there is also a threat from the Pacific Ocean, if only one military district is in charge, it will inevitably be a situation where the end cannot be taken care of, so after thinking about it, a new military district was formed in Vladivostok..."

"But in this case, will the Shenyang Military Region and Vladivostok be too close..."

"No way..."Yan Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly. I'd like to change places, too, but who calls it in the north, there is no bigger city than Vladivostok..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, the others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, after the bitter laughter, Yan Shao said. "This is the general division of the military region, I believe you have a general understanding of this, and then we will discuss the division of the administrative region, as for the rest of the more detailed work, we will talk about it later..."

"The provinces of the country......... I believe that everyone in the provinces of the country has already understood. Now it's mainly about the division of provinces in the newly occupied areas..."Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at the expressions of Li Liang and the other civil officials, if it was related to the army just now, then what we want to discuss this time is related to Li Liang and them...

"First of all, Siberia, the Siberian region is mainly divided into four to five parts, and there are two main options for this, one is to divide Siberia into three regions. They are Eastern Siberia, Central Siberia, Western Siberia, and then the two provinces of Trans-Khingan and Sakhalin..."

"The other is to divide Siberia into two parts, east and west, and the rest will remain the same..."

"As for Central Asia, the existing Kazakhstan will be divided into two parts, and Turkmenistan and other provinces will be listed as separate provinces..."

"In addition to this, there are also two options in the Middle East. One is to merge Iraq and Kuwait and then separate the Persian Gulf coast as a single province, and the other is to keep it as it is and divide it into three provinces in the Middle East, Iraq, Kuwait and the part of the Persian Gulf..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help but glance at Li Liang and them.

The reason why some people insist on listing Kuwait as a separate province is not because of convenience or anything. In fact, in this day and age, a 'wasteland' like Kuwait is really not valued much, but...

One more province is equivalent to one more province's official position...

Even if the government of the National Government is still relatively clean, there is no way to change people's ideas about promotion to official wealth, which is also a very helpless thing. And as some in the government think, if there is one more province, even if it is a poor country. It is also equivalent to an extra provincial official position, which is definitely a good thing, I am good and everyone is good―――――― the only bad thing is probably the government, because one more province will also have a series of departments required by the province, and the government agencies will definitely appear very cystic.

How the Song Dynasty fell in history, Yan Shao still remembers it relatively clearly. In addition to the cowardice and incompetence of the Song Dynasty itself, and the suppression of military generals by civilian officials. Of particular importance is the organ of its cyst.

There are officials everywhere, and the imperial court has already accounted for a considerable part of the finances just by giving money to these people.

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao himself is absolutely unwilling to have an extra Kuwait province, not because of anything else, but because of such a large place. There's no need to make a province at all...

Of course, he is also very clear about the following thoughts, after all, the following things are transferred to Yan Shao with the help of people from the Special Affairs Bureau every day, so Yan Shao is very clear about some of the following remarks.

Promoting official wealth, this is human nature, Yan Shao can understand it very well, but Yan Shao will never allow this to be based on the situation that harms the interests of the government. What's more, taking Kuwait out and establishing a separate provincial government is simply unnecessary, and...

Who can guarantee what will happen to China in the future, if one day in the future, China will be like the British Empire in the past, today this one will be independent, tomorrow that one will be independent or something...

It's always harder for two two-in-one provinces to be independent than a separate province, isn't it?

But if that's the case...

It seems that he followed the wish of the later generations of Lao Sa, but he always wanted to annex Kuwait, but unfortunately in the end it only led to a Gulf War that caused him to lose, Iraq, which was once one of the richest in the world, and finally became a poor country today, as for himself, he was on the gallows in the second war...

Soon, after introducing the details, the meeting also entered a more substantive link―――――― the details...

Of course, there is no need for this Yan Shao to participate in the discussion, because this kind of thing can be handed over to the people below, and there is no need for Yan Shao to participate in it personally...

And in fact, it is...

――――――――――――――――――――

Below, the 'lively' discussion soon began, and the military was simply arguing about which military region should have as much jurisdiction as it should have, and how many troops.

As for the civil service......... It seems that there is no difference with the military, but the object of the argument has changed from the army to the town, arguing about which province should have how many towns and so on...

Although the Nationalist government at this time was already a unified government, it was impossible to grab land or anything, but...

There will be many factions and groups within every government. The same is certainly true of the national government. It's just that unlike other countries, other countries are all parties, to be precise, political parties are competing with each other, and the National Socialist Government is somewhat similar to a one-party system, and the National Socialist Party is a one-party monopoly in the government, so those factions and political parties and the like, when they come to the National Socialist Government, they become small groups...

And these little groups. Such as the original Beiyang, then like the original Anhui faction, and then enter the local factions, and so on, what they are fighting for is the people below them. How many positions can you take...

If one's own people can win a province, then they will certainly be able to get more say in the appointment of officials at the city level below. In the same way, if there are more cities under the jurisdiction of this province at this time...

Thinking of this, they can't help but argue...

In fact, the situation in Kuwait is somewhat similar, except that it is in the interests of the civil service as a whole. And how big is the administrative area of a province is another part...

Seeing that the people below were arguing more and more, Yan Shao was also a little helpless.

In his view, towns are built by people, and if the province can be well developed, there will naturally be more and more towns, and similarly, more and more places can be arranged. There's no need to fight for the city like this.

Moreover, in order for the Commune government to stabilize its rule in Siberia, the government must move the population to Siberia on a large scale, so that more towns will be built. Now they're fighting over there, and it's really boring...

However, seeing that the people below were fighting for each other, Yan Shao was not worried at all, in fact, this situation was also allowed by him. After all, if the people below are united. Then he's going to be finished, so it's better to fight...

What's more, there is no way to ban things like factions, since there is no way to ban them. It is better to bring them all under your control and impose certain restrictions to limit the direction of their arguments and avoid causing greater damage, which is the real best policy.

A simple ban on the emergence of political parties, that is simply impossible ...

Anyway, it was Yan Shao who made the last decision, so let them fight...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although Yan Shao had already known that this meeting would not be completed soon, he never expected that in the end, it would take half a month for the entire meeting to finally come up with a charter.

After half a month of discussions, the division between military regions and administrative regions was finally decided.

First of all, there was the military region, and basically there was no change, almost the same remained the same, except that there was some controversy over the appointment of the commanders of the various military regions. But what about soldiers, although it is difficult for a soldier who can get to this position to go even if he is upright, but after all, he is much more upright than a politician with a flamboyant stomach.

And the military also has a very intuitive thing to look at, that is, combat exploits...

Whether a soldier is qualified or not, just look at the merits, it's simple and clear...

Even if some people want to be the commander of a military district and don't have enough military exploits, it's useless...

The real trouble is the division of administrative districts, and basically most of the time on this matter is wasted on this. Fortunately, in the end, the charter was finally taken out, so there was no major problem.

Compared with those of military regions, the division of administrative regions has obviously changed considerably.

First, the original eastern, central, and western regions, the three Siberias, were changed somewhat.

The original Western Siberian Province became the Ural Province, which was drawn from the Ural Mountains, and in the middle, the Novosibirsk Province, which basically included most of the Siberian region, in addition to the Far Eastern Province, mainly the Outer Northeast, plus the northern part of the Far East, in addition to which is Sakhalin Province...

As for the Middle East...

Although some people were tempted to turn Kuwait into a province as well, Yan Shao's resolute opposition eventually led to it becoming part of Iraq...
