Beiyang 1917

The new order for the whole army has stirred up waves with one stone!The international community welcomed the applause!And the ordinary soldiers of the various divisions and brigades of the domestic army are also rejoicing and their morale is high. After all, the treatment of the participating troops is twice as good as that of ordinary army divisions, and all military salaries are directly paid to the soldiers' personal savings accounts in the Bank of China, unlike The old army was exploited layer by layer by superior officials like that!

The ones who can't laugh are naturally the brigade commanders of the warlord divisions!But at such a moment, after Feng Guozhang, the only direct line member who can say no to the prime ministers of the Anhui clique, chose to compromise and unite, no one can stand up to challenge the authority of the central government like Zhao Ti, the overconfident Henan governor. independent.

Of course, secret telegrams like snow flakes from the three governors of the Yangtze River were sent directly to the Presidential Palace to ask his boss what was going on. around!

The portraits of these warlords of the Anhui Department are very simple. The army's food and salaries have all gone up. Armed with American equipment, our strength will be even stronger. Why not do it? !

As soon as the order to reorganize the army came out, the 16st Division and No.40 Division in Gyeonggi were the first to bear the brunt. The [-]st Division first entered the Nanyuan Barracks to accept the reorganization, just like when the army recruited recruits to eliminate the old, weak and smokers. Those unqualified soldiers with sexually transmitted diseases were transferred to the capital police establishment for those soldiers who were older than [-] years old but had no bad habits.

The first division, two brigades, four regiments, an artillery regiment, a cavalry battalion, an engineer battalion plus a supply battalion, a total of 5000 troops were reduced by 1, and the remaining [-] people were mixed with the two supplementary brigades of the participating army. The Sixth Division of the participating army was established.

Li Jishen, head of the teaching regiment of the participating army, was appointed as the commander of the sixth division of the participating model army. Cai Chengxun, the former commander of the first division of the army, was awarded General Jiwei, and transferred to the general staff of the fighting army as the deputy chief of staff and Jiang Fangzhen's deputy.

Li Jishen, Commander of the Sixth Division of the Participating Army, Sun Lianzhong, Commander of the No.17 Brigade, Gu Liangyou, Chief of the No.18 Brigade, and Wen Chenglie, Commander of the No.16 Brigade.

Since the previous four batches of U.S. reinforcements allocated two mixed brigades of m1903 springfield rifles and m1917bra squad machine guns to Cao Kun's third division of the army stationed in Kaifeng, although the sixth division of the participating army was organized, its weapons and equipment were different. Or the original German Mauser.

In mid-September 1917, Jiang Guiti, the governor of Rehe, was transferred by the Ministry of the Army to Beijing to act as the general's affairs. , General Chen Wei, and Rehe Military Affairs Assistant.

在1917年9月初的这段时间内，世界瞩目的焦点之一是俄国的局势，9月3日（俄历8月21日），俄国遭受了另一次重大的军事失败：里加被德国占领了。这次军事挫败的详情不明。左派谴责最高统帅部故意把“红色里加”让给敌人。

Russian Commander-in-Chief Kornilov used the fall of Riga as an excuse for opposition. On September 9 (August 7, O.C.), he ordered a powerful Cossack detachment into Petrograd and publicly retracted his oath of loyalty to the government.Kerensky, Prime Minister of Russia's provisional government, denounced the commander-in-chief as treason and decided to use the power of the Bolsheviks to quell the mutiny.

The Red Guards were armed, and the government appealed to the sailors of the Baltic Fleet and encouraged Bolshevik agitators to come out and engage Kornilov's troops.

The Bolshevik propaganda among Kornilov's troops was so effective that Kornilov's soldiers refused to obey orders to attack Petrograd Red. On September 9 (August 12, Russian calendar), Kornilov was dismissed and arrested, and Kerensky succeeded him as commander-in-chief.

The biggest winner of the defeat of the Russian mutiny was not the provisional government but the armed Red Guards. For the first time, the Bolsheviks had a strong armed force. In Petrograd, 15 fully armed Red Guards accepted the leadership of the Bolsheviks. The 35 troops of the Le Military Region are on the neutral left!

The situation in Russia is so chaotic or precarious. The Allies and the West are deeply worried but unable to intervene. No one knows where Russia will go next. On September 9, Trotsky was released, and the new The coalition government announced the establishment of a republic in Russia, and the two powers of the Soviet Union and the Provisional Government stood side by side and were not clear about each other.

In China, with the arrival of the fifth batch of U.S. military aid at the end of September, six production line equipment and key engineers and technicians from the Meridian Plant No. And the basic construction project of the Xuanhua Arsenal under the participating army is under construction three kilometers north of Xuanhua Station on the Beijing-Suizhou Railway.

This month, the construction of the 30-ton oil refinery of Sino-US Petroleum Renqiu Branch in Renqiu is also progressing smoothly. Theoretically, by the end of October, all civil engineering and equipment installation and commissioning work can be in place, and the refinery can be put into trial operation. , but the question is, where is the oil?

The exploration well drilled by the Rockefeller oil exploration team at the site designated by Ren Qiu at Wang Geng has reached a depth of 2000 meters, and both drill bits have been replaced by the third set. If Wang Geng hadn’t insisted on continuing to drill down, Rockefeller Jr. would have quit. Now, this guy definitely thinks that Wang Geng is fooling himself again, and somewhere deep in the grassland in Suiyuan is the real oily place.

In fact, Wang Geng asked the Rockefeller oil exploration team to drill the first ancient buried hill oil reservoir in China and even in the world. It is a deep oil well with a daily output of 15 tons. In Wang Geng’s previous life, this well was named Rensi Well. The oil well has become the cornerstone of Huabei Oilfield. It has continued to spray crude oil without water for 500 years, and its high-quality crude oil has reached [-] million tons.

At the moment, this well is only drilled to a depth of 2000 meters, and there are still 1153 meters to be drilled from the depth of oil production in Wang Geng’s previous life, so Wang Geng is not in a hurry. 5435 tons of crude oil is used as the position of the 9th oil well, and this oil well with a daily output of [-] tons of oil will not be drilled first.

By the end of September, China Airlines had opened as many as 9 routes. Wang Geng issued a second batch of additional aircraft purchase orders to the United Kingdom with a loan in Japanese yen. The list is as follows:

1、英制se5战斗机72架，采购单价：35000美元，总价252万美元

2、英制德哈维兰dh.4型侦察轰炸机72架采购单价：40000美元，总价合计288万美元

3、英制汉德利.佩季o400重型轰炸机72架，采购单价：60000美元，总价合计432万美元

4. 100 sets of main engines and related maintenance parts for the above-mentioned three types of aircraft, totaling US$ 200 million

The total value is 1172 million US dollars.

The Nanyuan Airfield under the Aviation Department of the participating army has initially possessed the ability to maintain the above-mentioned three types of British aircraft with independent equipment. However, no matter how capable Wang Zhu and Bayuzao are, it is still relatively far away to design and produce aircraft engines independently. Training mechanics and engineers It is the main work of the directors and deputy directors of the two aviation divisions.

The Nanyuan Flying School was directly changed into the Nanyuan Flying Academy of the participating army. Internally, students were selected from the participating army, and externally, they were selected from fresh college and high school students.

At the same time, Xu Shuzheng, who also served as the governor of Zhili, also served as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. Of course, not only the first two graduates, but also the fifth batch of students who will not graduate until next year have also been booked by the participating army. Wang Geng paid the most attention to Fu Zuoyi, a student from Shanxi, who ranked first in the entrance examination of the infantry department of the sixth phase of Baoding Military Academy. He was appointed by Wang Geng internally to join the teaching regiment of the participating army for an internship during the Chinese New Year!

After Li Jishen, head of the teaching regiment of the participating army, was promoted to the commander of the sixth division of the participating model army, Wang Geng made a strange move to transfer Wang Tingzhen, the [-]th division of the Beiyang Army, into the participating army as the commander of the teaching regiment. It is also a new integration of Zhiwan near Gyeonggi. Since Feng Guozhang is willing to join hands with Duan Qirui, under the protection of such a powerful participating army, the president is simply asking for trouble in keeping a main force as a guard.

Wang Geng's recommendation of Wang Tingzhen as the head of the teaching group was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was one of the best choices. Everyone knew that the former head of the teaching group of the participating army was either the chief of staff of the participating army or the division commander. For him, Wang Tingzhen's appointment to this position means that the participating army has opened a door to face the direct lineage, if Cai Chengxun, the former commander of the first division who lost his military power, is not counted.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if the chief of staff or the deputy chief of staff of the participating army, as long as they are sent down, most of them will serve as the division commander of the participating army. Therefore, Cai Chengxun’s appointment as the deputy chief of staff is like going through a probationary period. If he is like Feng Guozhang, the division commander of No.15 Division Liu Xun, his nephew, became a deserter and lost his chance like that, which is his own doing.

Sure enough, in mid-September 1917, after the establishment of the Sixth Division of the War Army, Li Jishen served as the division commander, and Wang Tingzhen took over as the head of the teaching regiment. As a result, after the arrival of the fifth batch of American aid at the end of September 9, not only did Li Jishen's Sixth Division fully re-equip With American equipment, the Seventh Division of the participating army was also formally formed.

Lao Feng's 16th Division went through the same training process as the 3000st Division half a month ago. Two brigades, four regiments, one artillery regiment, one cavalry battalion, one engineer battalion, and one logistics battalion. The No. [-] division was eliminated by nearly [-]. Most of them were transferred to the Jingshi police, and a small part were sent directly to the drug rehabilitation center to be resettled after drug rehabilitation.

The remaining 1 members of the Sixteenth Division and the two supplementary brigades of the participating army were combined into the Seventh Division of the participating army. Wang Tingzhen, who had only been the head of the teaching regiment for half a month, returned to the post of division commander and served as the commander of the participating army. The commander of the Seventh Division of the Model Army.
