Chapter 448 Using force to control literature
"Let me give you the simplest example." Li Gang put down the newspaper in his hand, looked directly at Xu Han, and asked seriously: "Can you see? Luo Cheng can't even command a top soldier at the bottom?"

"This!..." Xu Han hesitated.

The more you understand the governance system of the Xinghan League, the more you discover how complete the separation of military and political affairs in the Xinghan League was.

As the dean of the Government Affairs Council, Luo Cheng could not command any of the top soldiers.

"But, the army's money, food and supplies are not allowed to be provided by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Grain Reserves?" Xu Han could no longer hold on to his point of view.

"You are wrong again!" Li Gang denied Xu Han again and pointed to the three words "Logistics Department" on the newspaper: "The Military Aircraft Academy has its own logistics department, and all logistics of the army are responsible for this department."

"Isn't that right? Doesn't the money and food for the Logistics Department also come from the Government Affairs Council?" Xu Han defended.

"Do you know what I found in the "Minmin Xunbao" I collected before?" Li Gang asked back.

Xu Han knew that this question must be related to the topic the two were talking about. He had also read all the past newspapers he had collected, and he would play the contents he had read in his mind, but he couldn't think of anything to support Li Gang's point of view. .

"What do you think."

"Xinghan League has an annual budget system. This system determines that the Logistics Department of the Military Aircraft Academy is not choked by the Government Affairs Council." Li Gang explained: "At the end of each year, the Logistics Department has already received all its money and food for the next year. Yes, if this system can continue forever, it means that the Logistics Department of the Military Aircraft Academy does not need to look at the face of the Government Affairs Council at all."

"This..." Xu Han murmured.

"Because the budget the Logistics Department can get is determined by the alliance leader Liu Xinqi. Therefore, the entire military system only needs to be loyal to the alliance leader Liu Xinqi to get sufficient money and food." Li Gang analyzed.

"I understand a little bit."

"Leader Liu Xinqi has the loyalty of the entire military system, and he holds the most absolute rights of the Xinghan Alliance. No matter how powerful Luo Cheng and Lu Ren are, for Liu Xinqi, it is just a matter of words." Li Gang continued his analysis: " Now you are saying that the Xinghan League is to 'use culture to control military force'?"

Xu Han felt that his entire concept had been subverted.

Li Gang meant that if Luo Cheng disobeyed, Liu Xinqi only needed to send a small group of soldiers to withdraw him.Even just one word can make Li Gang leave obediently.

"If the military men become more powerful, won't Liu Xinqi worry about being usurped?" Xu Han asked.

The Taizu of the Zhao Kingdom released his military power with a cup of wine and robbed the orphans and widows of the country, so he has always been wary of warriors.The largest permanent establishment of the army in Zhao State is the Xiang. Generally, if there is a war, a civilian official is assigned, and then some Xiang are deployed to form an army, and the civilian officials command the battle.At the end of the development, there were no even compartments in the conventional establishment, and only the battalion remained.

"Look at the composition of the Military Academy." Li Gang guided.

"The Military Selection Department, the Logistics Department, the War Department, the Military Law Department, the Military Intelligence Department, the General Staff Department, the Army Department and the Navy Department." Xu Han replied.

"Looking at the responsibilities of these departments, the Ministry of War is responsible for selecting and training new recruits, and then providing them to the Army Department and the Navy Department. This means that the generals of the field army do not have the full power to recruit new soldiers and expand the army themselves." Li Gang said.

"This prevents military generals from expanding their own power privately, and prevents generals from recruiting township parties and forming personal soldiers." Xu Han continued. With his IQ and experience, after Li Gang's on-demand broadcast, he was able to keep up with Xu Han's ideas.

"Yes, let's look at the Military Selection Department. This department has the final say in the selection and promotion of military generals. In other words, generals cannot decide to promote their subordinates on their own and only have the right to make suggestions."

"You can't use promotion to win the hearts of your generals." Xu Han nodded. Although it was not absolute, it was definitely effective in giving his subordinates the right to be promoted.

"The Logistics Department provides military supplies, money and food, and general pay is paid directly to the soldiers themselves."

"Generals cannot win over their soldiers through military pay."

"In addition, the Military Law Department is responsible for enforcing military law, and generals cannot easily punish their soldiers. The Staff Department formulates combat plans, and the Military Intelligence Department masters military intelligence." Li Gang finally said. "These departments are all at the same level as the Army Department and the Navy Department." Xu Han said.

"What's left of the generals in the army?" Li Gang asked.

"We can only command the troops to fight obediently within the battle plan formulated by the general staff, and expand the territory for Liu Xinqi." Xu Han concluded.

"Yes." Li Gang picked up the newspaper on the table again: "Now, among those generals, who can imitate Taizu?"

"It's really amazing!" Xu Han said in shock. Why hadn't he seen before that there were so many ways to set up departments in the military aircraft academy?

"It seems that the Xinghan League is 'using force to control literature'?" Xu Han asked again.

"Why are you so absolute? It's either black or white." Li Gang retorted again.

Xu Han was confused. It was not using literature to control military force, nor using military force to control literature. What could it be?
"Have you noticed that there is a Ministry of Public Security in Dali Yuan?"

"Yes, those police officers are equivalent to a combination of government officials and police officers." Xu Han replied.

The public security responsibilities of the Ministry of Public Security are indeed similar to those of Yamen. The Zhaoguo County Yamen has the official position of county lieutenant, which is mainly responsible for the security within a county, as well as the inspection department and other departments.

"The Ministry of Public Security directly blocks the possibility of the military inserting its hands into the government system. Local management and security are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Security. Even city defense has specialized garrison troops. The field army cannot get involved in anything related to civil affairs. , all the garrisons are outside the city." Li Gang said: "No one can enter the city unless ordered by the alliance leader Liu Xinqi."

"In other words, the military actually has no influence on the Government Affairs Council."

"Yes." Li Gang nodded: "So there is no such thing as using force to control literature."

"How can Liu Xinqi ensure the purity and obedience of the civil affairs system if he decentralizes power so powerfully?" Xu Han asked.

"The Supervision Department of Dali Yuan." Li Gang pointed.

"Yes, an independent monitoring system. I heard that there is also an all-pervasive intelligence department." Xu Han finally understood: "Awesome! This Liu Xinqi can't really be from the stars in the sky. How can he do this at such a young age? degree."

"Knowing the golden mean!" Li Gang praised.

The golden mean is not the "foolish philosophy" of the fence-sitting faction, the ambiguous and muddled good old man who compromises at will, the unprincipled, unprincipled, sly, cunning, and cunning way of life.

It is the essence of Chinese civilization that can allow things to develop harmoniously, so that everything in the world can find its proper place and prosper.

It is impartial and uses both sides.

It is "the unity of nature and man".

...

The two of them didn't know that the "all-pervasive" intelligence department they talked about last time, one of the spies was sitting two tables away from a few people, writing furiously, recording the conversation between the two.

It turned out that they had been watched by Di Ting as soon as they entered Penglai, and a soldier was assigned to keep an eye on their every move. He even recorded clearly what time they went to bed and what time they got up.
