Years of the Republic of China 1913

Everyone understands that from the order read out just now, the most important part of the Third Armored Division is the armored brigade in terms of equipment and personnel configuration. It can be said that the essence of the entire armored division is in this armored brigade, but no one would have thought Lu Jianzhang actually gave such an important position to a small lieutenant colonel... Oh no, he is already a colonel now.

Xue Yue won the exercise, which made everyone look at him with admiration, but even so, it is already a great thing to be promoted to a higher level. At most, he will be arranged to be a regimental commander in the armored division or something.Unexpectedly, Lu Jianzhang would be so generous and directly appoint Xue Yue as the brigade commander of the armored brigade. Such a result made the group of people who had just been engaged in the establishment of the armored division very cold.

After looking at each other, everyone couldn't hide the disappointment on their faces, but no one dared to speak against Lu Jianzhang on this occasion.Boss Lu's temper is not unknown to everyone. Just now Zhou Yinren was scolded like a dog, and whoever wants to jump out to object at this time may even pull out the layer of skin.

"...Jin Handing is the commander of the infantry brigade, and Zhou Yinren is the commander of the artillery brigade..." The order is still in the process of being announced. Everyone was not surprised when they heard that Jin Handing was the commander of the infantry brigade. Jin Handing is now the deputy commander of the reorganization division , graduated from the first phase of the Yunnan Lecture Hall, and has long enough experience in the army. If he hadn't been implicated in the wrong person during the "Second Revolution" that year, he would have been able to take charge of himself with his qualifications.With him as the commander of the infantry brigade, everyone is fine.

But the latter sentence Zhou Yinren's appointment as the commander of the artillery brigade made everyone puzzled again. He lost the exercise and was scolded unceremoniously by Boss Lu, but he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the blink of an eye. what happened?Some generals who couldn't make up their minds were stunned, and even Zhou Yinren himself opened his mouth in shock after hearing the appointment.His face was incredible.

The subsequent appointments of the Engineer Corps and the Rocket Battalion were quite satisfactory, and the candidates were not too surprised. When the appointment of the armored division commander, deputy division commander, and chief of staff was finally announced, everyone pricked up their ears.

"Lu Chengwu is the deputy division commander, and Liu Mingzhao is the chief of staff..." After the candidates for the deputy division commander and chief of staff were announced, everyone sighed inwardly.Everyone knows that Lu Chengwu is Boss Lu's son. Although Lu Chengwu is not very good at leading troops, he is not as strong as his backstage!What's more, it is absolutely impossible for Boss Lu not to control such an important unit as the Armored Division. It is also human nature to arrange for Lu Chengwu to be the deputy division commander.

As for Liu Mingzhao, when he was 24 years old, he had the reputation of a famous general in Sichuan, and his military quality was even more outstanding among his colleagues.A few years ago, Liu Mingzhao went to the Central Military Academy's general officer training class as a major general and brigade commander. After graduation, he went to Europe to participate in the European War as a member of the General Staff of the Expeditionary Force.His strategy was praised by Commander-in-Chief Feng Guozhang. After the war, not only Feng Guozhang asked to put Liu Mingzhao under his command, but even Wu Peifu's General Staff also wanted to transfer Liu Mingzhao to the War Room of the General Staff.

In the end, it was still Lu Jianzhang's face. When he heard about this, he directly reached out to Fang Zida, and Fang Zida also considered the importance of the Northwest Military Region, so he specially approved Liu Mingzhao to be promoted from major general to lieutenant general and assigned to the Northwest Military Region.He served as the deputy chief of staff of the Northwest Military Region.This time Lu Jianzhang transferred Liu Mingzhao from the position of deputy chief of staff of the military region to the position of chief of staff of the [-]rd Armored Division, which was enough to show the importance he attached to this unit. [

The final announced teacher candidates.When the adjutant announced who the position of division commander belonged to, everyone's expressions suddenly became strange, because no one expected that the position of division commander would actually fall to Deng Xihou.

Deng Xihou, graduated from the first phase of Chengdu Army Primary School, the first phase of Nanjing Fourth Army Middle School, and the first phase of Baoding Army Officer School.In the early stage of the Revolution of [-], he served in the Seventeenth Town of the Army, and later served as the company commander of the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army.After that, he gradually accumulated meritorious service to the positions of battalion commander, regiment commander, and brigade commander. He is currently the commander of the Reorganization Division of the Northwest Military Region.

Deng Xihou's military quality is not low.He is capable and tactful, known as the "Crystal Monkey". During the "Second Revolution", Deng Xihou saw that the Revolutionary Party could not do anything.He resolutely led his troops to join the central government, and was promoted step by step.Later, when Lu Jianzhang was ordered to encircle and suppress Bailang in the northwest, Deng Xihou was transferred to Lu Jianzhang's command. Although his military exploits were not outstanding, he was always trusted by Lu Jianzhang, and he was directly promoted to the position of commander of the reorganization division after the establishment of the Northwest Military Region.

It can be said that Deng Xihou's status in the Northwest Military Region is not low, and his qualifications are also old. It is a good choice for him to be the commander of the Third Armored Division.What's more, both Liu Mingzhao and Jin Handing are from Sichuan. It is convenient for Deng Xihou to command them as a division commander as a fellow villager. Unsmooth problems can ensure that its troops form a complete combat effectiveness.

Moreover, although Deng Xihou was not loyal to Lu Jianzhang, he was still a confidant, not to mention that Lu Chengwu was also the deputy division commander, which also enabled Lu Jianzhang to firmly grasp this team.

After the announcement of the appointment, Lu Jianzhang made some arrangements for the chief officers of the transferred troops, and then announced the end of the meeting.After Lu Jianzhang left, everyone in the meeting hurriedly got up and congratulated Deng Xihou, Liu Mingzhao, Xue Yue, Jin Handing, Zhou Yinren, etc. If Lu Chengwu hadn't followed Lu Jianzhang to leave first, then he would definitely not let it go.

"Brother Jinkang, this time as the commander of the Armored Division is well-received! I will ask Brother Jinkang to take care of me in the future..."

"Congratulations to the Chief of Staff, congratulations to the Chief of Staff, the Third Armored Division has a Chief of Staff in it, and it will definitely become a powerful army that is second to none. If you need brothers to contribute in the future, please ask the Chief of Staff to be polite..."

"Brother Zhujiu, you can go ahead of brother this time. Everyone can see that this armored division is Boss Lu's apex. Brother Zhujiu will surely make great progress in the future. The future is bright! Today brother is in charge, Let us brothers have a good drink?"

"Old Zhou, brother, how do I treat you? Don't you have to say? You are too mean this time. You played a good show with Boss Lu, and almost hid us all. No, no, today Lao Zhou, you are promoted, you must treat everyone to a good drink, don’t you think so?”

"Boling, I'm ashamed... I'm ashamed, I didn't take good care of you before, and I will get closer to you in the future..."

A dozen or so generals surrounded Deng Xihou and other five people, chattering and talking about everything, but thanks to Deng Xihou's all-encompassing skills, Xue Yue and the others blocked him by babbling, and made a promise to thank everyone afterwards.Later, Deng Xihou resigned from today's banquet on the grounds that the army was newly established and was busy with military affairs. After dismissing these people, only a few main personnel of the armored division just appointed were left in the meeting room.

"Go and invite Deputy Division Commander Lu here." Deng Xihou gave instructions to his adjutant who was waiting outside, then went into the room to look at the crowd, and said, "I'm not talented, and I took the position of the commander of the Third Armored Division entrusted by Boss Lu." I feel terrified by this important task, and my heart is extremely disturbed. You are all elites in the army, please put aside your past suspicions, work together, and live up to the country's great trust! You must know that the Armored Division is a new branch of the army, and Xihou will keep everyone here today I would like to ask everyone to speak freely and discuss how to build this team and strive to make it a truly elite army worthy of the name of our army!"
