Glorious Mission 1937

But you know, you know, if you want to change, you can’t talk about it. After all, this is related to the vital interests of several big bosses and millions of soldiers. The old man has negotiated and fought with local warlords on this issue, but it still hasn’t been resolved. It’s just that the number of generals has decreased a lot. Like the previous Guizhou Army, Hunan Army, Hubei Army, Guangdong Army, Northeast Army, and Northwest Army, the decline and decline of the former Guizhou Army, the largest warlord force in the country is only Guizhou. Clique, Sichuan Clique, Dian Clan, Jinsui Clan, Northwest Erma, and Chen Feng's Saibei Clan. Now that Chen Feng took over the Jinsui Army, there are only 5 groups of local warlords left.

However, which of the remaining five Junfa groups is not a big force with hundreds of thousands of troops, it may not be so easy to solve the problem of military power.

In the opinion of He Yingqin and others, it is unwise for Chen Feng to raise this issue right now. One must know that the sensitivity of this issue is much higher than the previous issues.From their point of view, Chen Feng's most correct choice is to come to power first, and then talk about other things after he has stabilized, because at that time he can transform his own will into the will of the country in whatever he wants, and the resistance is relatively small.

"Solemn, although what you said is very reasonable, but the accumulated evils are too deep now, and it may be impossible to solve this problem for a while, why don't we put this problem aside for now?" He Yingqin said with a frown.

Chen Feng replied: "Minister He, I know what you mean. It is nothing more than shelving the dispute, taking over the power first, and talking about other things later. But I am worried that if we don't take this opportunity to make a decision now, we will not have that time nor that time." It’s an opportunity. Everyone in the living room now must know that the Japanese army has won a decisive victory in the Southeast Asian theater. The four countries of the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands have completely retreated, Thailand has completely fallen to Japan, and Australia is in danger. It will take at least half a year to a year to return to the Southeast Asian battlefield, and it will take at least two years to counterattack, that is to say, within two years, we will have to face the Japanese army with 350 million heavy troops alone!"

"According to reliable sources, the Japanese army has dispatched a large number of troops from Southeast Asia to the Chinese battlefield. In addition, the Japanese government has issued the fourth national mobilization order. The total strength of its army, navy and air force has exceeded 4 million. Counting the local police and other military management As for the department, the total force will not be less than 300 million, do you think China can stand alone against Japan's 350 million army for a year?"

"If there is no accident, this may be possible. War is a test of the endurance of the nation. It is already a matter of seeing who has the stronger endurance. If nothing happens to the committee, then we grit our teeth It can still be sustained, even if you fight him for ten or eight years, it doesn't matter, China is still China. It can't die!"

"But now something happened to the committee, which is a major blow to the entire country and all ethnic groups. Now the committee has not yet held a funeral. It can be expected that once we hold a public funeral, the whole country will fall into chaos in a short time. A guy who is not strong-willed will definitely shake his confidence, and even surrender to the enemy and treason. It is really unknown whether he can persist until the US and Britain counterattack, so if I am the heir, then the army must be reformed! This is the premise! "

What Chen Feng said was decisive without any hesitation, which made the bosses in the conference room look at each other in dismay!Secretly thought that this young man was too strong in his actions. Could it be that he wanted to take all the Guangxi, Dian and Sichuan troops into the government!This is simply a fantasy, not to mention other people, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Long Yun and others in the meeting room alone could not agree.

"Solemn, what exactly do you mean by military reform? Is all military power brought back to the central government?" Li Zongren asked with a frown.

"Yes and no!"

Chen Feng's answer made everyone frown, it was too vague, isn't it the same as not saying anything!

Chen Feng then explained: "In my opinion, a strong country must have a strong army. This is beyond doubt. In addition, I also believe that no matter what the circumstances, the army must never become a private army of a certain person. , the army can only belong to the state.”

"The core of my military reform is the nationalization of the army, and the nationalization of the soldiers, especially the senior officers. I think the current Military Commission is just an empty shelf, and the military is all in the hands of the generals. The binding force of generals is very limited, so the military committee needs to be rebuilt, and senior military officers at the general level will serve as members of the military committee, and the military committee will become the highest decision-making body of the entire army in the future."

"At the same time, we must reorganize the national army, including the army in Yan'an. All officers and soldiers, some central army and local army motley troops are all treated equally. The whole country implements a large corps organization. Of course, this does weaken power for some people, but for the whole It is a new life for the country and the nation.”

Li Zongren frowned and said, "Serious brother, this plan of yours seems to be difficult to realize. The distribution of power involved is too complicated. Besides, you have to recruit troops from Yan'an. I'm afraid that side will not agree to it!"

"Everyone, I would like to ask a question. What are you serving as soldiers for? Is it for personal success and fame, or for the country and the nation?"

It was Bai Chongxi who answered Chen Feng's words. As one of the three giants of the Guangxi warlords, Bai Chongxi stood up and said, "My dear brother, it is nonsense to say that the country and the nation are authoritative. We have not yet reached that level. My answer is this There are two aspects, that is, for personal prosperity and wealth, but also for the country and the nation."

"Then let me ask another question, are you going to be emperor?" Chen Feng asked again.

"After the Revolution of [-], the national republic has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. To be an emperor is nothing more than self-destruction. Yuan Shikai is a living example, so I don't think anyone dares to risk the world's evil to be an emperor!" He Yingqin spoke.

"It's over. As long as you don't become the emperor, it's easy to say. Everyone holds the military power in their hands. Apart from contributing to the country and the nation, they also worry about their own interests being damaged. This is easy to handle. I can ensure everyone's interests. In exchange for the nationalization of the army!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Oh, how to make sure?" Everyone became excited now, wanting to know what Chen Feng planned to do.

Chen Feng said: "I think what everyone cares about is power and money. Let's talk about power first. The nationalization of the army does not mean that all senior officers will lose their military power. After the nationalization of the army is completed, the whole country will be based on the current Set up 5-7 war zones, and each exhibition area has 2-3 corps under its jurisdiction. All senior officers who really understand combat command will be entrusted with important tasks as the commander of the theater or the commander of the corps. Please ask the higher authorities for the record. Of course, those generals with wine bags, rice bags, wine and meat must no longer be used, such as Jiang Dingwen and his ilk!"

Then Chen Feng continued: "After talking about power, let's talk about money. If you have military power, you will have money. This sentence is true in this era, but the real money is in business and business, not in being the king of the mountain. I think De Gong Although Chairman Helong has been in charge of a province for decades, he doesn't really have much money to put into his pocket every year!"

Li Zongren said with a smile: "This sentence is really correct. Don't look at the Guangxi army ruling the province of Guangxi, and the other stationed in southern Anhui for a long time. It can be regarded as controlling more than half of Anhui. However, due to the war, the annual taxes collected are very limited. , Even the expenses of the troops cannot be maintained, if it is not for the support of the central government, I am afraid that I will have to pay for it myself."

Long Yun also said: "In the past few years, there were really a lot of money coming in every year, at least a few million oceans. When the year was good, it could reach tens of millions of oceans, but it has not been the case in recent years. Road construction promotes Education and so on need a lot of money, and the taxation of Yunnan Province alone is not enough, and a part of it needs to be subsidized every year.”

Chen Feng also said: "You only pay a part of it every year, and I spend at least tens of billions of dollars in Northern Serbia every year. If I simply calculate from the money I have invested in Northern Serbia in the past few years, I am afraid that I can buy most of Southeast Asia. So I have a deep understanding of these things.”

"The reason why I say that I can guarantee the interests of the Guijun, Dianjun, Majiajun and other officers is because I, Mr. Chen, know how to make money. Even if you don't have military power in your hands, I will promise to allocate a lot of money to you every year. Make sure you don’t lack money to spend! Besides, the Chen family can do business with you in partnership to guarantee your economic interests! So, as long as you don’t plan to be emperors, I think there is still hope for the nationalization of the military!”

After Chen Feng finished speaking, the entire meeting room fell into silence, and everyone was thinking about what Chen Feng just said.As Chen Feng said, supporting soldiers is only for power and money. As long as these wishes are fulfilled, there is nothing wrong with handing over all the military power!

However, there are also many people who doubt whether Chen Feng can fulfill the economic benefits he promised. After all, holding the military power in his hands is still very practical in this troubled world. It is equivalent to getting a gold medal for avoiding death. No one will hold on to things.Once the military power is gone, who cares what you used to be.

"Solemn, do you have a specific plan?" Li Zongren asked.

"I left in a hurry and didn't formulate a detailed plan, but I have a general idea in my heart. Take your Gui army as an example. In order to build this army, you have paid a lot, including your own youth, so for Gui The government will give a one-time compensation to all officers above the division level in the army. The division-level officers are 20 yuan. Like De Gong, you are at least 10 million US dollars. In addition, I will also give [-] billion US dollars. Form a huge company, invite people like you to buy shares, and guarantee a large dividend every year!"

What Chen Feng was talking about was a plan similar to a redemption. As long as he was willing to hand over his military power, the government would give the senior generals a huge amount of compensation. The amount was jaw-dropping.Chen Feng believed that no one could remain indifferent in front of such a huge amount of money. (To be continued..)
