The East Zhili Police Headquarters hired British James Spencer Daimler as the administrative director, and Yuan Su appointed Ge Jinzhang as the concurrent director of the General Headquarters. The fastest updated novel [ ] The former is responsible for the administrative and logistical work of police agencies at all levels
, the latter is responsible for commanding the police.
Part of the police personnel arrangement is open recruitment, and the recruitment time is scheduled to officially start on April 20. Those who have participated in militia training will be given priority. The other part is to transfer redundant quota personnel from various regiments, such as the previous expansion in Shanhaiguan.
Logistics and miscellaneous personnel. There are also a small number of police officials who are recommended by regimental-level officers or self-recommended by lower-level officers. After strict review and relevant training, they are directly transferred to serve as official positions in police agencies at all levels.
It is estimated that more than 1,200 police officers will be recruited in the entire jurisdiction, and the weapons and equipment will be fully equipped with Han-style rifles. However, police officers will not carry rifles during normal tasks, and will only carry rifles when there are special needs or orders from superiors.
, the weapons will be collected from the gun room. For Yuan Su, the police are also an armed force and can be dragged to the battlefield to participate in the war if necessary.
It will take about six months to popularize the entire police system, and the expected scale of construction will not be completed before the end of this year.
However, after all, the police work for the public, and they are not as boring and strict as the army. The quota of 1,200 people is not a big deal in the eight counties of East Zhili, and there are countless people rushing to sign up.
Everything was going smoothly in Luanzhou. However, on April 28th, a telegram sent from Beijing suddenly disrupted all Yuan Su's arrangements. For Yuan Su, there was not even a trace.
I didn't expect such a serious thing to happen because there was no warning at all.
The telegram was sent to the Communications Room of the Brigade Headquarters, signed as the Internal Affairs Office of the Presidential Palace. The Communications Room first handed the telegram to Chen Wenian, who happened to be in the barracks. After Chen Wennian read the telegram, he quickly sent someone to call back Yuan Su, who was discussing business outside.
[]
After waiting for a full hour, Yuan Su returned to the brigade headquarters compound. He did not go back to the office, but went directly to the staff room under the leadership of the orderlies. Not only Chen Wennian was in the staff room, but also the commander of the first regiment, Zhao Shanhe,
Staff officer He Qigong was also present, and their faces looked solemn.
"What's going on? What news is there in Beijing that you are so anxious to call me back?" Yuan Su felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the staff room, and he asked quickly.
"Commander, the Internal Affairs Office of the Presidential Palace just sent a telegram, saying that there is a turmoil in Congress, and it is a big turmoil. The situation in Beijing is very bad now, and there is also a quarrel in Shanghai. The world is about to change." Chen Wenian sighed.
While speaking, he handed the message he just received to Yuan Su's hand.
Yuan Su quickly opened the telegram slip and looked through it carefully. As his eyes passed line by line, he felt his heart gradually tightening, and his brows were covered with an extremely thick sadness.
The content of the telegram is about unexpected events in Congress. Several key discussions on the constitutional amendment have taken a turn for the worse. They have changed from the previous harmonious and smooth appearance. Regarding the term of office of the president, it has been changed from the five years of the previous provisional agreement to
For six years, there was also a fierce dispute over whether to give the House of Representatives the power to impeach the president. The parties supporting the Beiyang government almost spared no effort to attack the Kuomintang. These parties opposed all projects that the Kuomintang voted for.
This series of events in the Congress was really without warning. It can be said that the atmosphere in the Congress was very harmonious before this. Whether the members supported Yuan Shikai or opposed Yuan Shikai, they were polite to each other and even talked about it during the meeting.
They gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.
Just two days later, everything became outrageous. [Thanks for supporting the novel] Everyone seemed to have been separated from their souls, and they seemed to have completely changed. It was even better to have been prepared in advance. Both parties
They started to have arguments about some sensitive issues, then the arguments turned into mutual attacks, and in the end they got out of hand.
More importantly, in the more than ten days from the opening of the Congress to the change of the situation, Song Jiaoren only participated in three or five meetings, and they were all insignificant discussion topics. Until the situation in the Congress changed drastically.
In those days, Song Jiaoren did not appear in the Congress building at all. During this period, the Kuomintang members went to Song Jiaoren's residence to look for him, but no one saw Song Jiaoren himself.
Either the concierge said that Mr. Song was not seeing guests, or he was told that Mr. Song was not at home.
It might be okay to say it once or twice, but if it is like this for many days in a row, it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious of it.
To put it simply, the political situation in Beijing is very bad now. The southern political parties headed by the Kuomintang continue to release conspiracy theories against the Beiyang government. Some people think that the Beiyang government bribes members of Congress, which is a relatively mild suspicion; others think that the Beiyang government has never
There was no intention to cooperate with the South from the beginning to the end. Everything he did before was just an illusion to confuse the public; some even speculated that Song Jiaoren suddenly lost contact and was imprisoned by Yuan Shikai.
However, this telegram was originally sent from the Presidential Palace. What is strange is that although the telegram mentioned the rumors circulating in the capital, it did not defend these rumors. Especially regarding the issue of Song Jiaoren, the telegram
Li didn't mention anything at all. From this point alone, it seems that Song Jiaoren's detention was justifiable.
"How could this happen?" Yuan Su put down the message in his hand and his expression suddenly changed, "Wasn't it a good time some time ago? Before I came back from Beijing, Mr. Song said that everything was going well, but why all of a sudden..."
At this point, he did not finish what he said. After all, he was from Beiyang's standpoint, and naturally he could not put too much negative pressure on Beiyang at this time.
"It's hard to explain. This incident was too sudden and too strange. With this telegram alone, almost nothing can be explained." Chen Wenian sighed and said in a very solemn tone.
"Commander, in addition to the bizarre situation in Beijing, I think we should also find out what the telegram sent to us by the Presidential Palace actually means?" He Qigong, who stood aside, thought for a long time and spoke slowly.
He asked. Although his tone of voice didn't sound too anxious, it revealed a lot of emphasis.
After He Qigong mentioned it, everyone present reacted and gradually realized that there was something fishy about the message.
First of all, this matter is national politics. Even if the progress of the whole matter is to be communicated, it must be told to some qualified politicians. Even though Yuan Su is the nephew of the president, he is only a local-level military official, and he has nothing to do with it.
These things can be said to be irreconcilable.
Secondly, for such a sensitive topic, the most urgent thing to do is to deal with it in a low-key manner, unless Beijing deliberately wants to make this matter bigger, or it is really getting out of hand. However, to say the least, even if it is true,
The commotion has already become huge, but there is no need to send a special telegram to Luanzhou. Moreover, it is described in an ambiguous way. It does not seem to be excusing the Beiyang government, nor does it seem to be completely targeted at the Kuomintang. It is really impossible to guess.
.
The third is to put all this aside, what is the point of sending this message to Luanzhou? With Yuan Su's current status, qualifications and military strength, is it possible to expect him to reverse the situation?
"This is indeed a problem." Yuan Su said very solemnly.
"Commander, let's not talk about why the Presidential Office sent this telegram here. In short, the situation in Beijing has undergone major changes, and North-South cooperation has come to nothing. More importantly, the situation between the North and the South will obviously plummet, and the contradictions will only
It's getting more and more intense, I'm afraid..." Chen Wennian said in a solemn tone.
Yuan Su couldn't help but secretly ask in his heart: Is history still unchangeable? Song Jiaoren has arrived in Beijing safely, but the conflict between the north and the south is still unavoidable. Will the second revolution still happen after all?
"Anyway, since the telegram has been sent here, we must prepare for the worst." After taking a deep breath, Yuan Su said solemnly.
Although he didn't want what he was worried about to happen, some things were unpredictable, and the only thing he could do was to make preventive preparations.
"Captain, what do you mean?" Zhao Shanhe asked seriously.
"The entire army has strengthened its alert and is fully prepared in all aspects to face the deterioration of the situation between the north and the south at any time. Everyone, I have to say that the worst result is the outbreak of civil war, and South China and North China will definitely fall into dire straits.
" Yuan Su said.
Everyone in the staff room looked at each other, Zhao Shanhe even looked a little suspicious, but Chen Wennian and He Qigong immediately understood what Yuan Su meant, and both of them looked solemn.
"Commander, what do you plan to do?" Zhao Shanhe asked further with some confusion.
"Increase ammunition reserves, strengthen training for the entire army, and expand and prepare logistics materials according to wartime standards." Yuan Su said very briefly. Although he was very reluctant to see things happen to this point, there was no way, if it really happened
When it happened to this point, I had no choice but to face it bravely.
"Captain, are you saying that a war will break out soon?" Zhao Shanhe looked very surprised.
"Old Zhao, the conflicts between the North and the South have been accumulating for a long time. When things have developed to this point, even if there is still hope for talks outside, the actual power holders of the North and the South will no longer be able to remain calm. On the surface,
This is a breakdown of political consultations, but in fact, perhaps this is the determination of the North and the South to fight for their own interests." Chen Wenian said with great sincerity. ^-^^-^
