Volume 4: The War of Unification Chapter 651: The Merger Plan of the Department of Army and the National Defense Forces

Wang Maoru reorganized the army and merged the two commands of the Army and the National Defense Command Center, and at the same time reduced the vassals of the provincial army. Of course, the army's reform was mainly responsible for the National Defense Force Command Center. Wang Maoru was mainly responsible for the merger of the two command centers, how to arrange the power of officers and personnel, and influence to expand his power and get rid of the control of President Xu Shichang.

After the Double Tenth Festival on October 10, 2019, Wang Maoru once again integrated the power of the Army Department. This time he intervened in the office of the Army Department. Wang Maoru believed that the current office of the Army Department was very inconvenient in Beijing, and the army of officers and troops coming and going back and forth also brought safety hazards to Beijing citizens. Moreover, Beijing City implemented a curfew at this time, which seriously affected the transmission of military intelligence in the case of military emergency... This is obviously lying, what does military information have to do with curfew? There is no dedicated telephone number within the Army Department.

Therefore, Wang Maoru suggested establishing an office building of the Army Department outside Beijing, and suggested that the power departments should not concentrate in places with more citizens, which would cause greater congestion to already crowded cities. This is called competing for land with the people and seizing profits with the people.

The new office location of the Army Department is located in Fengtai, south of Beijing. In the future, the headquarters of the Army Department will no longer be left in Beijing. Instead, it will welcome many Beijing citizens to come to Fengtai in the suburbs. Moreover, Fengtai has always been the base camp of the garrison troops in the capital, and the Fengtai camp has always been idle. On this basis, it saves a lot of trouble and money.

Fengtai Camp is eight kilometers northwest of Beijing Sijiu City, and will build a six-lane highway from the inner city by the New Army Department in the future. It will reach Sijiu City directly. Wang Maoru believes that modern military has abandoned the competition for one city and one fort during the cold weapon era, and may not be safe in the city. If the enemy soldiers are in the fortress, it is extremely stupid to defend Beijing City to the death and it will also cause great harm to the people of Beijing. The prototype design of the new office building seems to be back to the office building and is divided into above-ground and underground parts. The project volume is very large. The Construction Department of the General Logistics Department plans to invest 8 million if it is completely completed.

The relocation of the Army Department was supported by Premier Jin Yunpeng of the State Council. At this time, he and Wang Maoru were wearing pairs of pants. Although the two did not say that, they cooperated with each other and Jin Yunpeng continued to serve as his prime minister, and Wang Maoru was at ease to be his chief of the army. Therefore, after Wang Maoru's suggestion was proposed, Jin Yunpeng immediately agreed.

What the president said was that An Fu's Congress had just been dissolved at this time. After Wang Maoru, the president was very careless. This carefreeness would not end until the new election of MPs next June. President Xu Shichang later approved the Ministry of War to relocate his office and suggested that the Congress be built in Fengtai, Beijing.

Wang Maoru was amused and laughed when he learned the news. How much hatred did this president with An Fu Congress? He threw the Congress in Fengtai. Fengtai was originally a large military camp, and a group of literati were thrown into Fengtai military camp. In the future, after the new Congress was elected, he would definitely cause trouble for the president if he had nothing to do. Wang Maoru hurriedly persuaded that this matter was inappropriate. Congress represented the people and must be built in a place with more citizens. However, the Ministry of the Army represented the government's military organs and moved out of the city center. It was understandable that Congress was different.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shichang took back his plan to move to Congress. He also knew that his president would be in September next year. After the new Congress election, he might as well choose who to become a president. It is better not to offend people too deeply, especially those members of Congress are either literati or politicians. The so-called literati are synonymous with scruples and poor eyes. Xu Shichang has no hope for this new Congress in his heart.

The construction of a new army department is not possible overnight. When the Fengtai Army Department is built, a military camp will also be built around it. In the future, Beijing will station a legion troops. Therefore, this military camp must be large enough. In addition to the military camp, there are also small arsenals, power plants, water supply companies, arsenals, equipment centers, R&D centers and other supporting facilities. In addition to the military camp, there are also living areas for officers' families, which have also begun to gradually expand to the south of Fengtai. In the future, this is an area protected by heavy troops.

Such a large area of ​​foundation construction naturally requires a lot of investment, but the Ministry of Finance really does not have extra money to invest in the infrastructure of the Ministry of Army. The previous national salt tax was mortgaged to Japan by the Anhui government as a loan. Now the central government is really poor. Not only is it poor, but it also has to owe the government’s salary. However, the National Defense Forces have money and do not need the Ministry of Finance’s two melons, so they spend money to build a larger one, which is equivalent to one-quarter of the Beijing City.

However, Wang Maoru felt that the merger of the Army and the National Defense Forces was too slow in the past few days, so he proposed that the Army clean up the department, and all of the unimportant departments were assigned to the National Defense Forces, and gradually erode them. At the same time, some departments of the new National Defense Forces headquarters were also more numerous. Wang Maoru was not a god, so he could not do everything. Some people said that a leader managed at most four people, but it was really busy that he had set up dozens of department-level departments to manage them.

In order to reduce the pressure, Wang Maoru put the Army Department to lose weight. At the same time, after Wang Maoru was promoted to acting chief of the army, he was still vacant. He thought for a long time that he should support a second-person figure under his command. This person already had a candidate in Wang Maoru's mind, namely Zhu Yongquan, the chief of staff of the White Tiger Legion stationed in the Western Regions, but at this time the Western Regions could not live without him, so let him exercise for a few more years.

Originally, the Army Department had ten departments and ten departments, but some departments were really unnecessary. Therefore, Wang Maoru's department office was reduced to eight departments and four departments, which was reduced to the next eight departments, namely the Military Affairs Department, the Ordnance Department, the Military Academy Department, the Military Law Department, the Military Medical Department, the Military System Department, the Road Aircraft Department, and the two departments were abolished. These two departments were actually not very effective. The General Staff Department was born to learn from the Japanese General Staff Department, but in fact, the power in China was very small and belonged to the Qingshui Yamen. Therefore, Wang Maoru assigned all the personnel of the General Staff Department to the General Staff Department of the National Defense Forces. The Military Academy Department actually overlapped with some departments of the Military Academy Department. Besides, after modernization, the role of the military horse will become weaker and weaker, and the cancellation of the Military Academy Department is also the general trend.

Many of the six departments that were banned were not necessary, leaving only the reception office, security department, archives department and telegraph department of the Army. These four departments are the deputy chief of the Army, and Wang Maoru is managed as the deputy chief of the Army, acting chief of the Army. The four departments basically manage the internal departments of the Army, and some overlap with the functions of the Military Affairs Department, which is also a check and balance. Wang Maoru appointed his guard regiment commander Deng Zichao, the commander of the First Battalion, as the director of the Security Department of the Army. Therefore, the army headquarters stationed a reinforced battalion soldiers to be responsible for protection.

After losing weight, the Army Department did not reduce its personnel. Some departments expanded, and other departments reduced their power. Some personnel were sent to the Fourth General of the National Defense Army in Changchun, Northeast China. Wang Maoru secretly ordered the Minister of Military Affairs of the National Defense Army, He Rufei to merge the future National Defense Army Command Center, the Army and the Navy to carry out institutional reforms and personnel arrangements. He Rufei asked what the name was after the future merger. Wang Maoru said that he would call it the Ministry of National Defense without thinking, and the army was commanded by the Ministry of National Defense. There is no doubt that the future General Secretary of National Defense will be Wang Maoru, so who is the candidate is the candidate, and He Rufei is not convenient for him to ask. But Wang Maoru told him directly that the Deputy General Secretary must be Jiang Fangzhen, and there is no one else.

He Rufei secretly established an integrated office of the two armies to re-arrange personnel, departments and administrative functions. He Rufei's power suddenly became the third person of the National Defense Forces. This was also the result of He Rufei's years of precipitation. He quietly surpassed Li Delin to rank third in national defense. The reason was that He Rufei rarely made mistakes. Later, Li Delin proposed the eighth general plan of the Ministry of National Defense. The designated person for the plan was Ji Yiqiao who studied in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy (pronunciation is the same as "Zhe" or "Ji", which has not yet been concluded), a native of Fang County, Hubei Province.

The officer of the Zhijun Army. The grand plan of this person really surprised Wang Maoru, but Wang Maoru also admired it very much in terms of the division of the Eighth General Office. The Eighth General Offices planned by Yiqiao are the General Offices, Logistics Headquarters, Security Headquarters, Military Affairs Headquarters, Military Police Headquarters, Guards Headquarters, Coast Guards Headquarters, and Lunar Airlines Headquarters. What surprised Wang Maoru the most was the Guards Headquarters. This Yiqiao was a flatterer. The Guards Headquarters was a ** armed force directly responsible to the General Office of the National Defense. They were not under the command of the General Office of the Staff. They were simply Wang Maoru's private army.

When Wang Maoru sorted out the list and archives of the Army Department, he found a person's name. Wang Geng, graduated from the West Point Military Academy in the United States, is now working for the Archives Department as the deputy director of the third class of the Archives Department. He recalled that he really had such a person, talented, especially the fact that his wife cuckolded him, was well known to everyone in the Republic of China. By the way, his wife seemed to be the socialite Lu Xiaoman of the Republic of China, remarried to Xu Zhimo.
