Volume 5: Opportunity to Rise, Chapter 317: Entering the Center 2
The above-mentioned six front armies belong to the field army series. In addition, Wu Aihua also set up a "local defense and reserve" series, which is in charge of local guard, border defense, local army recruitment, training, militia reserve training and other matters. The Minister of Defense directly serves as the "local defense"
"Provincial Military Districts" are set up in each province, and their positions are equivalent to the level of group army commanders. Depending on the importance of the area where each province is located or the population and economic conditions, several military divisions are set up to station the troops of one regiment;
Like the later Chinese dynasties, each county set up an "armed department", stationed one company of regular troops, and then established several militia companies.
For example, the troops in Feixiang County, Handan City, Hebei Province, are called "The 1st Company of the Feixiang Armed Forces Department, Handan Military Division, Hebei Military Region, China National Defense Force". This 1st company is of course a regular force, while the 2nd and 3rd companies are militia forces.
.If it is necessary to expand the scale of local troops during war or special periods, the expanded troops can be called "Feixiang Independent Company (battalion) of the Handan Military Division of the Hebei Military Region of the Chinese National Defense Forces".
Of course, this increase must be reported to the Ministry of National Defense for approval in advance, and can only be increased after the Ministry of National Defense issues an order. In the assessment of provincial military regions and military divisions, the number of qualified troops sent to the field army, navy, and air force is an important indicator.
Because of the participation of the entire Nationalist Government Navy, the previous order given by Wu Aihua to Navy Commander Lin Guozhang was not only not invalidated, but also required to be quickly strengthened.
Although the former Kuomintang Navy had small ships and few ships, it had a naval establishment of about 40,000 people. The navy was a technical branch. Except for some individuals who had bad habits and were really unfit to stay in the navy, Wu Aihua accepted them all.
Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan, former Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Navy, once proposed the famous "20 aircraft carriers" plan in history. However, because the navy has always been marginalized in the government, Chen Shaokuan's naval dream could not be realized at all.
.
Originally, Chen Shaokuan estimated that it would be enough to serve as a fleet commander or captain of a 10,000-ton heavy cruiser in a navy dominated by the National Defense Force Navy. Unexpectedly, he was actually nominated by Wu Aihua as the commander of the Chinese National Defense Force Navy. He was moved.
, which gave him an oath to serve the Chinese Navy until his death.
In his talks with Chen Shaokuan, Lin Guozhang and other naval admirals, Wu Aihua proposed a "big navy plan":
Before 1939, four "offshore fleets" including the South China Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, the Yellow Sea Fleet, and the Bohai Sea Fleet were formed. Each fleet required equipment: 1-2 light aircraft carriers, 1-2 battle dead ships (captured Japanese ships)
, Wu Aihua is not prepared to rebuild this bulky big guy), 2-4 heavy cruisers; 8-12 light cruisers, and several other types of ships. The naval personnel must reach at least 60,000 (the number is basically enough at this time
, requires running-in and training).
Before 1941, two ocean-going combat fleets, China's Pacific Fleet and China's Indian Ocean Fleet, were formed. Each fleet was required to be equipped with an aircraft carrier battle group and a number of heavy cruisers; the aircraft carrier battle group required 1 heavy aircraft carrier (80,000 tons) and 2
Medium aircraft carriers (3-50,000 tons) and 4 light aircraft carriers (10,000 tons), capable of carrying more than 500 combat aircraft of various types.
The most important task of the Navy at present is to train talents to cope with the world situation after 1941. After 1941, the Navy will consider establishing the Atlantic Fleet and splitting the Pacific Fleet into the Taiwan (Western Pacific) Fleet, the Central Pacific Fleet, and the North
Pacific Fleet, South Pacific Fleet, etc.
"Commander Wu, is this really possible?" Chen Shaokuan, who was born in 1889, asked nervously.
"Your task is not to consider whether it can be realized, but to consider how many qualified sailors and captains you have on hand. As long as your personnel are well trained, the battleship will naturally be there!" Wu Aihua said with a big wave of his hand.
"Commander Chen, you shouldn't doubt Commander Wu's decision!" Lin Guozhang advised after leaving Wu Aihua.
"Oh, why do you say that? I think this plan is too big. Does the country have so much money to build ships?" Chen Shaokuan asked worriedly.
"This, I will explain it to you one by one after you take up the post in the army. Now, I can say a little bit. Except for some small ships such as transport ships and frigates, all the warships currently owned by the National Defense Forces Navy were obtained by the military commander.
In short, I was called several times by the Commander-in-Chief to go to the sea of Shantou to receive ships. You may not believe it, but the first day there was nothing on the sea of Shantou, and the next morning there were two heavy cruisers and several ships parked on the sea.
A light cruiser..."
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Shaokuan was a little doubtful.
"Haha, I'm not the only one who went to pick up the ship." Lin Guozhang stopped explaining, even if he explained again, it would be useless.
Although Chiang Kai-shek's old Republic of China was poor in economy and armament, it did accumulate a group of talents. In addition to the navy that could develop in a "blowout" for a period of time, the air force also "expanded" rapidly due to the addition of talents.
It turned out that the National Defense Forces Air Force decided to expand into four divisions, of which the first division was the "strategic bomber division", and the second, third, and fourth divisions were ordinary divisions with bombers, fighters, and attack aircraft each accounting for a certain proportion. The Air Force due to its combat nature
The particularity does require these three types of aircraft to cooperate with each other. This feature is also retained in the new Wehrmacht Air Force. However, the scale has "expanded" beyond recognition.
General Wu Aihua planned a total of three corps and nine divisions for the National Defense Force Air Force of the New Republic of China. Among them, the First Air Force was the strategic air force;
The military capital is organized into four divisions. When this organization is completed a year later, the number of combat aircraft of the Air Force will reach an astonishing 5,000. Su Mu, the former deputy commander of the Air Force, was appointed commander of the First Air Force (three-star general).
In the military series, there is also the "China National Defense Force Coast Guard". Due to its homeland guarding responsibilities, Wu Aihua placed it under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense. Therefore, the forces directly under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Defense Zhong Shoufu include the "Local Garrison and Reserve Forces"
and the "Coast Guard", with a total number of nearly one million people.
The affairs of the central government and the army were straightened out. As for local personnel appointments, Wu Aihua left it to Vice President Li Zongren and Prime Minister Zhou Nl to take care of it. It was impossible for him to focus on these trivial matters.
The management of local affairs and personnel arrangements are carried out in line with the principles of separation of military and political affairs, unity of government orders, unity of laws and regulations, and unity of military orders. Local officials who have acted in a positive and negative way will be removed from office on the spot; officials who have seriously endangered the interests of the people will be removed from office.
Those who refuse to repent will be shot directly according to wartime regulations!
Later dynasties were too soft-handed in this regard and were led by various interest groups, which brought many extremely serious consequences. Wu Aihua would never allow this to happen.
On September 16, 1938, Wu Aihua issued an order: Each of the commanders of the six front armies would lead an old group army of the former National Defense Force (1st to 6th Group Army) to reorganize troops in their respective garrison. Former National Army officers, regardless of their qualifications or titles, as long as they want to continue to stay in the new National Defense Force
, all must enter the military academy to study.
Therefore, Wu Aihua directly renamed the Red Army University in Longyan as the "China National Defense Force Officers Academy" to provide half-year training for officers above the school officer level; at the same time, he renamed the former Central Military Academy (Whampoa Military Academy) as the "China Military and Political University". Wu Aihua
As the president of the above two schools, Zhang Zhizhong was appointed as the first (executive) vice president of the "China Military and Political University". He integrated all the resources of various military schools run by the former national government and local warlords and established the "Fuzhou Naval Academy" respectively.
, "Nanjing Air Force Academy", "Baoding Army Academy", "Kunming Army Academy".
The division of labor of these six military academies is different. The main purpose of the "China National Defense Force Officers Academy" is training, the training of various strategic and tactical thoughts. This kind of training is regular for the officers of the National Defense Force. "China Military and Political University"
In the form of full-time education, it mainly cultivates senior officers of our army and all-round military and political talents. The next four "colleges" are ordinary full-time colleges, with the purpose of cultivating junior officers. Of course, the recent tasks of these six schools are
Provide training to former national army officers.
The main content of the training is comprehensive "brainwashing". All officers must learn and use the strategies and tactics of the National Defense Forces, and adapt to the rules of combat, training, and management of the National Defense Forces. After training, anyone who fails the exam will be dismissed and will not be allowed to serve as an officer again.
.
After settling the affairs of the army, Wu Aihua convened a meeting at the Presidential Palace to listen to the situation reports from the Central Parliament, the Government Administration Council, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Supervisory Yuan.
In two months, the main task of the heads of the above-mentioned departments is to investigate and study, understand the situation, and then find work countermeasures.
The task of the Central Council is to organize experts in the legal field to conduct a thorough investigation and investigation of existing laws, and to formulate a new draft constitution. When Chiang Kai-shek reported on the situation in this regard, he was quite diligent. It can be seen that this guy has retired from the highest power.
After being on the second line, the mentality can still be corrected. However, Chiang Kai-shek also raised several issues that urgently need to be solved:
First, the workload of the Central House is too heavy, and most of the members have part-time jobs, requiring more staff to be hired by the House, such as legal experts; second, the overall budget of the House has not yet been determined, and there is no money available for some places where money should be spent.
Even if you have money, you don’t dare to use it. Third, among the local councils, the constitution of the councils in provincial capital cities, key cities, backbone cities, and ordinary counties is difficult to coordinate due to the large differences in different places.
"Damn it! Why do you have the feeling of future generations?" Wu Aihua was shocked when he heard these things. This political matter is really not done by humans.
However, Wu Aihua quickly came up with countermeasures: "As for the recruitment of personnel, the Central Council should come up with an overall charter. How many people are needed, what kind of people are needed, and how these people are treated should be clear; as for the overall funding issue, then
Therefore, it has not yet been determined, because there are many departments that need money now. Therefore, I hereby propose that in the future, the budgets of all government departments must first be reviewed by the Supervisory Yuan for rationality. After the Supervisory Yuan signs the review opinions, they will be reported to the administrative
The funds will be allocated by the financial department only after the chief executive signs the signature. Regarding the establishment of various city seats, the Central Council can directly come up with a charter and set a maximum number of people that cannot be exceeded. "
