"What is a temporary worker? Why haven't I heard of it?"

At first glance, it seemed that Feng Quan was not willing to hang out with him and regard himself as the boss. Old Chiang Kai-shek's face was very long and dark. When he heard that Feng Quan's determination was very consistent with the spirit of Huangpu, Chiang Kai-shek became a little bit

I was happy. I heard "temporary workers" but was confused, "What is this? Why haven't I heard of it? Which department manages temporary workers?"

"Principal, a temporary worker means that I belong to your leadership. You can regard me as a member of the National Government or the National Revolutionary Army. Now the party-state is in its infancy, and everything is waiting to be done. Although it is clear that Japan is ambitious and has bad intentions, the party-state

It is not easy to declare war lightly. But I can prevent traitors from leaking national security secrets and crack down on criminals who threaten the unity and security of the country. There are some things that the principal is difficult to come forward for, such as some Japanese gangsters who have violated the interests of the party and the country and harmed the people. I can do it for them.

The ancient heroes may have solved the problem secretly in the form of bandits. If something happens, you can announce to the public that it was done by temporary workers, saying that I lack central management, no long-term awareness, etc. Japan will not have a legitimate excuse to invade China."

Feng Quan hurriedly explained, but he was so long-winded that Chiang Kai-shek might not understand.

"Oh, I see, that's fine. Once the "Tanaka Memorial" is revealed, Japan will probably calm down a bit. You can watch it from Tohoku."

Although Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to keep Feng Quan, seeing that he had already decided to leave, he no longer tried to force him to stay.

"Hey, if you weren't too young and didn't have enough qualifications, I would have made you a senior adviser to the First Army of the National Government, which I am in charge of."

Chiang Kai-shek lamented that although his Huangpu generals were many powerful generals, they generally lacked strategic vision and were difficult to use.

Indeed, in terms of strategy, Chiang Kai-shek is completely comparable to the Communist Party of China. However, Chiang Kai-shek's tactical ability is not good. Many people think that he can only be an infantry battalion commander of about 500 people. Haha, for various reasons, he likes to personally direct many battles, and many good situations are blocked.

He made a mess.

"Huh? If Mr. Jiang lacks a senior adviser or senior staff officer, the student can recommend one for you. Although he has never personally led troops, his strategic vision is far beyond ordinary people and he is also very good at military theory. It's a pity that you don't need him.

, he and Tang Shengzhi opposed you, but they are quite patriotic."

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Feng Quan was very cautious in explaining it. Although he was thinking about Chiang Kai-shek, he was also worried that if he offends the enemy and slaps the horse's hooves, he will be in trouble. In the future, he hopes that he can cooperate well and repair the Japanese well.

.

"Is Zigong talking about Jiang Baili or Jiang Fangzhen? Let me think about it carefully. There are really not many people in the country who are better than him in military ability."

Lao Jiang told the truth, Jiang Baili is even more famous in Japan than in China. During the Japanese military academy, Jiang Baili, Cai E, and Zhang Xiaozhun were called the "Three Heroes of China", and they all became extraordinary figures in the future. The three of them were born at the same age.

They all died early. Cai E died in Japan in 1916 at the age of 34; Zhang Xiaohuai died of excessive drinking in 1925 at the age of 44; Jiang Baili died in 1938 at the age of 56, making him the longest-living among the "Three Heroes"

Yes, but it can only be considered a medium life.

Jiang Baili did three of the most famous things.

First, he was the principal of the Baoding Army Officer School, and the school's very famous names include: Wu Peifu; Li Jishen; the Chinese general who wiped out the most Japanese troops during the entire Anti-Japanese War, known as "Tiger Boy", and once served as the commander of Sun Yat-sen's guard battalion.

Xue Yue; Zhang Zhizhong; Fu Zuoyi; Nanjing Defense War Tang Shengzhi, who vowed to defend Nanjing before the war, but when the Japanese came, almost fled alone, resulting in a large number of prisoners being captured; Luo Zhuoying; Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou; Gu Zhutong; Chiang's most trusted

Chen Cheng; "Little Zhuge" Bai Chongxi; Qian Dajun, Director of the Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government; Liu Zhi; Shangguan Yunxiang and many other famous and inspiring figures.

The second is the publication of "Defense Ethics" in 1937. As soon as the work was published, it caused a sensation. The inscription on the title page was: "There are thousands of words, but I just want to tell everyone that China has a way!" The book clearly stated: "Only a long-term war of resistance can

Only by dragging Japan down." "Whether you win or lose, just don't make peace with him!" He clearly foresaw that it would be difficult for China to defeat Japanese militarism with its own strength. Only by dragging the United States into the war against Japan could the final victory be achieved.

Defeat Japan. Therefore, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, his strategy of exchanging space for time was adopted by Chiang Kai-shek. The Chinese Army dispersed Japan's military power with necessary concessions and huge geographical space, so that Japan could not annihilate the Republic of China government in a short time.

With enough strength, they finally waited until the war between the United States and Japan began, ushering in a turning point in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

The specific point is to prevent Japan from taking the same path as the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and to open up a second battlefield, Songhu Battlefield. Although the losses were huge and the tactics failed, it achieved a strategic victory. The Japanese army fought on two fronts and was unable to concentrate heavy weapons and exert its full potential.

Due to the advantages of mechanization, the Japanese army did not achieve the "annihilation of China in three months." The clamor of Prince Haningu and the then Minister of War Sugiyama also became an international joke.

Of course, Mao also proposed "On Protracted War". "On Protracted War" was Mao Zedong's speech at the Yan'an Anti-Japanese War Research Conference from May 26 to June 3, 1938, but one year later than Jiang Baili.

The third one is a bit legendary, and some people don’t believe it. General Jiang Baili studied in Japan in 1901 and entered the sergeant school through Chengcheng (junior military school). When he graduated in 1906, the Emperor of Japan gave the sword to the most important infantry department.

The first place among the graduates, but Jiang Baili took the first place and brought the sword given by the Emperor of Japan back to China.

If the three men had not died young and had followed Chiang Kai-shek during the War of Resistance, the history of the War of Resistance would have really changed.

In April 1931, the Kuomintang government promulgated the "Grade List of Army Officers, Associates and Soldiers", which followed the military rank system during the Beiyang Government period. The ranks and titles remained unchanged. At that time, there was no unified agency for awarding military ranks. The Nationalist Government could award commander-in-chief

The ministry can award it, the military commission can award it, and even higher-level agencies or military and political chiefs can award it. In 1932, the northwest warlord Ma Bufang once appointed his 12-year-old son Ma Jiyuan, who was still studying in primary school, as the colonel of the North and South Border Region Security Command of Qinghai Province.

Chief of Staff. What is even more ridiculous is that after reporting to the Central Military and Administrative Department in Nanjing, a formal order was given and a letter of appointment was issued. In addition, at that time, it was common for military ranks to be higher and lower than positions. Military commanders were all awarded

General. Some local warlords, who had no more than 10,000 men and at most tens of thousands of men, also proclaimed themselves generals. In 1933, Chiang Kai-shek said in a speech during a commemorative week: "Compared with the great powers, the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army is extremely weak and the generals

There are so many, the general has lost count."

In order to rectify the confusion of military ranks and adapt to its military needs, the Nationalist Government decided to revise the military ranks.

A new military rank scale was promulgated, dividing generals into the first and second levels, and adding special-level generals. The entire military rank level is six and eighteen levels:

General: special general, first-level general, second-level general, lieutenant general, major general;

Military: colonel, lieutenant colonel, major;

Lieutenant: captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant; warrant officer;

Sergeant: sergeant, sergeant, corporal;

Soldier: first-class soldier, first-class soldier, second-class soldier.

Navy soldiers are also divided into eight levels, and their titles are the same as those during the Beiyang Government. Unfortunately, they were too weak. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, most of them sank into the Yangtze River to prevent the Japanese army from going upstream.

The military ranks during the National Government period were initially the same as those during the Beiyang Government, but the titles were changed, that is, professional titles were added in front of the officer ranks, such as "Major General Quartermaster", "Military Medical Lieutenant Colonel", "Military Law Captain", etc.

.

Later, in order to adapt to the needs of a comprehensive civil war, the Kuomintang army significantly lowered the age limit for active service of officers at all levels: first-class general, 62 years old; second-class general, 60 years old; lieutenant general, 56 years old; major general,

52 years old; colonel, 46 years old; lieutenant colonel, 44 years old; major, 42 years old; captain, 40 years old; lieutenant, 38 years old; second lieutenant, 36 years old. This was relatively low among the major military countries at that time.

The general rank of the Kuomintang army is relatively complicated. In addition to the three levels of special, first-level and second-level, there are also several types such as lieutenant general plus general and posthumous general.

The special general is the highest military rank awarded to the highest military commander of the army, navy and air force. In fact, this rank was specially created for Chiang Kai-shek.
