Since the development of the Xuebing Army, a mature military system has been formed. The establishment of officers responsible for ideological work is a magic weapon for the Xuebing Army to develop rapidly without becoming centrifugal. It can be said that it is precisely because of these With the existence of officers responsible for ideological work, the chief officer can devote himself wholeheartedly to training and commanding operations. From this aspect alone, the establishment of such officers is necessary.
When the Political Department was first established, many people were still waiting to see Ji Xingwen's jokes, thinking that he must have offended Ouyang Yun and thus been marginalized. However, with the guidance of those companies, the regiment political director and the grassroots companies came into play. Only then did they realize that Ji Xingwen had been promoted rather than demoted. The Political Department of the Xuebing Army was responsible for the ideological work of all troops. All political officers belonged to Ji Xingwen's leadership, and although these officers had a lower status than the chief military officer Some are the most supported by the grassroots officers and soldiers. To exaggerate, Ji Xingwen's energy is not even worse than Ouyang Yun.
The rank of officers and soldiers of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is strict, and the difference in treatment is as high as heaven and earth. In the eyes of superior officers, soldiers are more like their personal wealth, the capital they use to get promoted and make money. There may be chief officers who get along well with soldiers, but with Compared with the Xuebingjun system, the energy it can exert is completely incomparable.
The growth process of Chiang Kai-shek in China's political and military circles was also a process in which he used various means to bribe and subjugate officers and politicians from other factions. Since Chiang Kai-shek came to power, there have been many people who opposed him, but no one has been able to succeed. To put it bluntly, although Chen Jitang and others are regarded as kings of one side or have made brilliant achievements in the history of the development of the National Government, once they confront Chiang Kai-shek, they are all defeated and do not fight back at all. power,
Lao Jiang was good at poaching others, which also caused the foundation of his own wall to be weak. This was his weakness. Li Tieshu's words opened a window for everyone, making them realize that the seemingly powerful Central Army was not Being monolithic, at least it is much less cohesive than the current student army. If you follow Li Tieshu's words, you might be able to achieve miraculous results.
Li Hanhun finally spoke. As the current spokesperson of the old Cantonese family, he can represent the opinions of the vast majority of the Cantonese people. He said: "I think this is a good idea. Treat others as they are treated. It can be regarded as a lesson to the highest authorities, letting him know that China is not surnamed Chiang now. The top authorities are very powerful. The reason why Chairman Chen failed was because he failed to unite the lower levels of the old Cantonese clique. Today is different from the past. If the top authorities If he still hopes to defeat us, then let’s let him have a taste of this. Commander-in-Chief, if you really want to do this, there is a question I would like to draw your attention to.”
There is no comparison between the current Xuebing Army and the Guangdong Clan at that time. The military structure of the original Guangdong Clan was the same as that of the current Central Army, which only recognized officers but not soldiers. The current Xuebing Army, Even if some of the middle and high-level officers could not withstand the temptation and betrayed them, Ouyang Yun had enough reasons to believe that not more than one-fifth of them would be willing to follow them. This one-fifth of the people would be because of their secular relationships or Those who are bribed by interests will not have a strong relationship.
Ouyang Yun has always had great trust in Li Hanhun. This trust was initially based on his behavior towards the person in that time and space. Later, as the time they worked together grew longer, their relationship grew stronger, and as the Xuebing Army grew stronger , the two people gradually developed a tacit understanding, and they already have a strong relationship like a partner. No matter what other people in the Cantonese family think, Ouyang Yun has reason to believe that unless he dies or does something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, Li Han will Li Hanhun would never betray him or the Xuebing Army. He looked at Li Hanhun and said, "Please tell me."
"As for the organization issue, with the current level of our student army, we can only recruit troops below the division level, but we must consider that if there is a military level or even a group army willing to join us, the reason why many people are willing to change their flags is to What those under the highest authority want is to be promoted and rich immediately. As long as the establishment is in place, they can seek benefits by taking free pay or replacing equipment. This is different from the source of income of our military officers. The benefits can only be reflected in the long term. However, these people do not look at the long term. They have just joined. They are just thinking that our Xuebingjun has money, and they just want to make a big profit. Many people must still hold on to Yi Zhi today. We can ignore the plan of coming to our place and then returning to the Central Army. They all know that as long as they join the cadet army, with our ability to control the troops, they can quickly make the soldiers identify with us and control the troops. , but the premise is that if you let his mother join us, this promotion is one of the best means. In this way, our major weakness will be revealed. We ourselves are the size of the group army, how can we give them a higher position? Here." After Li Hanhun said these words, he looked at Ouyang Yun quietly,
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly. He suddenly remembered that there were many such examples during the Republic of China. Some people were originally at low levels, but just because they controlled some officers, they changed their banners in the melee of warlords. As a result, their officers became bigger and bigger. , and finally being able to reach the level of army commander or even commander with a regiment of troops, this may be a strange sight unique to the Republic of China.
He thought for a while and said: "The organizational structure of our Xuebing Army has now reached its peak. We must consider our financial affordability. It is not easy to get promoted. Once it is done, there will be too many sequelae. I think it is still Buy it with money, Mr. Jiang, what do you think, with our current financial capabilities, how much money can we spend to engage in this?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Shuren, the God of Wealth of the Xuebing Army. How much money did he have left?
Although Jiang Shuren has always been in politics, he also knows something about the intrigues in the military during the Nationalist period. When Li Tieshu first proposed it, he was already making calculations. Now seeing Ouyang Yun mentioning his name, he smiled bitterly and said: "Not even a penny." I couldn't get it out. I originally had a few million left over, but you fought a war on the border between Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi and in Taiwan. Everyone, do you know how much money was consumed in these two wars? It was nearly 10 million. Hey, this The Xuebingjun Bank has opened, so we can print more banknotes as appropriate, otherwise..." At this point, he shook his head with a wry smile,
All you need to fight a war is money. Everyone here understands this. However, nearly 10 million was spent on just two battles. This was still beyond everyone's expectations. Li Hanhun personally led the team to the front line. He asked: "Mr. Jiang, why are there so many? Are you right?"
Jiang Shuren said to him: "John Niu and Diana did not come today. They have specific data. Mavericks and Xiao Dai have been very busy during this period. They have to find a way to recover the used reserves to eliminate the problem. Possible market risks, hey, everyone, despite the superficial glory of the Xuebing Army, it is actually very difficult. The military salary for next month is still more than 300,000 yuan short. I don’t know what to think of to make up for it. It’s all ready.”
The current president of Xuebingjun Bank is John Niu. Regarding this appointment, Jiang Shuren initially sought advice from Ouyang Yun. John Niu was too young, and the same was true for his assistant Diana. The two of them were a bit too young. , so Jiang Shuren did not believe that they could take on such an important task, and facts proved that John Niu was very qualified for this job. He was simply a genius in finance, and just the set of Xuebingjun banknotes that he and Diana made personally were enough. Jiang Shuren was left speechless,
There are thirteen types of banknotes in Xuebingjun, namely one hundred yuan, fifty yuan, twenty yuan, ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan, one yuan, five cents, two cents, one dime, five cents, two cents, and one cent. , this set of Xuebing coins, whose currency value is completely based on the RMB of later generations, was silently resisted like other banknotes of this period when it first came out. However, the Xuebing coins are different from other banknotes of this period in that they are well-made and It has a sound anti-counterfeiting mark, so after the Xuebing Army first used it to issue military pay, it began to circulate rapidly. Now it has replaced the silver dollar, and has even begun to circulate in other parts of China.
The Xuebingjun Bank is actually the central bank of the Xuebing Military Government. It is said that Niu John's level is qualified to participate in such a meeting. However, because this person is too young and has too little qualifications, and Ouyang Yun intends to let him He directed the future currency war and thought it would be better for him to make less public appearances, so he was not invited to this meeting.
Jiang Shuren complained on this occasion more than once, and the theme he wanted to express every time was about reducing military pay. The monthly salary of ordinary soldiers in the Xuebing Army is five yuan, which is even higher than that of ordinary government workers. It is even higher. Now it has become a big burden on the government's finances. Think about it, the regular army alone has nearly 200,000 people. Plus other types of troops, plus the salary of general officers, every month alone is It would cost more than two million to pay the salary. Originally, with Xuebingjun's earning power, there would be no problem in paying this small amount of salary. However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, there cannot be a war. Not to mention the loss of ammunition and equipment in the event of a war. If too many soldiers are sacrificed, the student army will be in danger of bankruptcy. The payment of pensions is closely related to the salary. According to the practice of the Republic of China government, the payment of pensions is generally fifty to two hundred times the monthly salary. Based on this standard, The pension for each cadet who died in battle has reached 250 or even 1,000 yuan. Taking the calculation of 1,000 people killed in a battle, the pension is also an incredible amount. This time at the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, In the battle, more than 5,000 Xuebingjun died in the battle alone. The pensions for these 5,000 people alone would cost 1.5 million to 6 million. In fact, once this money is required in one go, If you take it out, the Xuebing military government will go bankrupt.
