To put it bluntly, this Ghost Car Corps is the Gyeonggi garrison unit, protecting the security of the capital and the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang area. Therefore, this unit does not need to take the initiative to participate in the battle. It is a defensive-focused unit and cannot be compared with other troops that have experienced many battles. This unit can be said to be a refining unit, but not a division of a hundred battles.

The commander of the Ghost Car Corps is Gai Tianjiu, the chief of the legion is Han Linchun, the commander of the 8th Division, Wang Qiyuan, the commander of the 26th Division, and Shang Yuanqing, the commander of the 34th Division. Wang Maoru later appointed Ren Weiguo as the logistics commander of the Ghost Car Corps and was transferred to the Northwest Army Yang Yuting as the commander of the military affairs.

Yang Yuting was transferred from the Northwest Army, which indirectly cut off one of Zhang Zuolin's arms. Yang Yuting served as the military commander of the Ghost Trail Corps of the Groundbreaking Guards, which was enough to deserve Zhang Zuolin's psychological price, but Yang Yuting was under Wang Maoru's nose since then and he never dared to have any thoughts anymore.

There is a military general in the Hubei army that must be mentioned. This man is Sun Chuanfang, the most brave general under the former Hubei governor Wang Zhanyuan. After defeating the Hunan Army, this lord had become the first person under Wang Zhanyuan. It was a coincidence that Wu Peifu moved into the two lakes and appointed Xiao Yaonan as the governor of Hubei. This lord could have been valued by Wu Peifu, and what was even more coincidence that after he just got into the eyes of Wu Peifu, he directly accepted the reorganization of the National Defense Forces.

Sun Chuanfang has a tragic fate. Compared to Sun Chuanfang's smooth sailing in history, Wang Maoru became an executioner who cut off Sun Chuanfang's promotion. Several times he delayed his promotion because of the National Defense Forces. After the reorganization of the National Defense Forces, Sun Chuanfang had not arranged any positions, but most of his troops were incorporated into the 34th Division. Later, Sun Chuanfang was appointed as the director of the Second Department of the Operations Department of the General Staff of the Army. Wang Maoru arranged Sun Chuanfang to observe near him, and he wanted to see what abilities and ambitions Sun Chuanfang, the general who was the most capable of fighting in history, had.

However, Sun Chuanfang did not show rebellion or ambition around Wang Maoru, and planned for the National Defense Forces wholeheartedly. He made great contributions in the process of extermination of the Zhejiang Army and won Wang Maoru's trust.

Although in order to protect the eight legions of the Northeast, three of them were placed in the northeast and outside the northeast, Wang Maoru was still worried about entering a Fifth Army Zhuque Legion to defend the Northeast, especially the five arsenals that supported the entire National Defense Forces' armaments, which was the top priority of the National Defense Forces. Wang Maoru's concern was also supported by Jiang Fangzhen, He Rufei, Mi Shaobo and others. So after the establishment of the Beijing-Tianjin Tang Guard Ghost Car Corps, Jiang Fangzhen, Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, announced the establishment of the Ninth Legion.

The garrison of the Ninth Legion is Harbin City, Binjiang Prefecture, Jilin Province, Northeast China. It is called Gou Chen Legion. The so-called Gou Chen is the extremely cruel one among the ancient auspicious beasts. They like killing and are cruel. The attribute is Western gold and a vicious and fierce divine beast.

The Gouchen Legion has a command of the 11th Cavalry Division, the 15th Division, and the 35th Division, which is composed of soldiers streamlined by the three legions of Qinglong, Tengshe and Zhuque. As a unit to protect the most core area of ​​the Northeast, the corps serves the purpose of strategic deterrence, and the corps is responsible for protecting the First Arsenal, the Third Arsenal, the Fourth Arsenal, the Middle East Railway, and the Sartu Air Force Base, with great responsibility. The commander of the Legion, Wang Maoru, disagrees with the public, appointed Zhang Xiangwu, a young general known as the Bloodthirsty Demon King, as the chief of the General Staff of the Jin army in Shanxi. Xu Yongchang, the former think tank of the Shanxi Jin army, serves as the chief of staff of the General Staff of the Gouchen Legion.

Zhang Xiangwu, the new commander of the Gouchen Legion, is 37 years old. He is a bloodthirsty man who is good at fighting. His good combat is different from Gong Xiaoqi's good combat. Gong Xiaoqi regards combat as an achievement and an art. In his later years, Gong Xiaoqi also wrote a book called "War and Art". He is a perfectionist. However, Zhang Xiangwu's good combat is reflected in his desire to kill enemies. He seems to be eager to fight for killing people. He is stationed in Harbin, Zhang Xiangwu did not have much happiness in his heart, and his happiness was reflected in the battlefield. Therefore, Zhang Xiangwu immediately applied to Wang Maoru, hoping that he would go to the battlefield to cleanse himself from being qualified to serve as the commander of the legion. Indeed, in the National Defense Forces, there are many people who are older than Zhang Xiangwu, and Zhang Xiangwu is just a surrendered general. In theory, no matter how he is considered, he can't be the commander of the legion. Therefore, Zhang Xiangwu served as the commander of the Gou Chen Legion caused a lot of criticism in the army.

The name of Gou Chen is in line with Zhang Xiangwu's character, cruel, killing, fighting and strong.

Wang Maoru knew what Zhang Xiangwu thought so much, so he rejected Zhang Xiangwu's request to go south. If the civil war was too heavy, it would be a terrifying reputation for eternity in the future. What we were going to carry out next is a war of unity. If Zhang Xiangwu was placed on the southern battlefield, how many compatriots would not be killed? Civil war was still dominated by peace, gradually collapsed, and peaceful reunification was gradually achieved. War was only a means, but not an end. If Zhang Xiangwu was placed in the south, then the war would be upgraded from means to the end. Wouldn't it be that Wang Maoru's plan was ruined? Everyone has their own characteristics. Zhang Xiangwu was a bloodthirsty person and caused chaos in peace, but during the war, Zhang Xiangwu's Gouchen Legion was a killer weapon.

In addition to nine corpses, some of the divisions of the National Defense Forces are not under the command of the corps, but are directly under the command and management of the General Command of the National Defense Forces. Among them are Fei Chaogui's unit of the 6th Division, currently stationed in Changchun, Zheng Shiqi's unit of the 22nd Division, stationed in Jinan, Shandong, Zhu Xi's unit of the 24th Division, stationed in Nanjing, Wu Guangxin's unit of the 25th Division, stationed in Yueyang, Hunan, Sun Liechen's unit of the 29th Division, stationed in Baoding, Zhili, Chen Guangyuan's unit of the 31st Division, stationed in Jiangxi and Fujian, and nine corpses, it is expected that the total strength of the National Defense Forces will reach 600,000 after streamlining. Now the total strength of the National Defense Forces is as high as 800,000, and many miscellaneous militias are waiting to be settled, and some of the military soldiers will be relocated.

However, streamlining the army cannot be achieved overnight. Wang Maoru and the General Staff of the National Defense Forces plan to streamline for three years, and in three years, each division will reach 15,000 to 18,000 people. The people from the old army must be streamlined, and all newly reorganized troops will be the standard for all 11,800 divisions, which will facilitate the future transformation into the Army's A Division.

At present, more than half of the National Defense Forces are stationed on the northern frontier, and Wang Maoru doesn't use many troops to fight in the country, which has a lot to do with his warnings in later generations. Only enemies from the north and invasions from the north. Japan's "Memorial of Tanaka" clearly stated that if you want to conquer Asia, you must first conquer China, and if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria (Northeast). Therefore, maintaining the stability of the north, especially the Northeast, is the top priority of the country.

The weight of the Northeast is not that the south can be given up, but because there are many plains in the north and mountains in the south. Many places in the south are easy to defend and difficult to attack, while the north is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Therefore, Wang Maoru was helpless in distributing heavy troops in the north.

Even after such streamlining, the total number and combat effectiveness of the Chinese National Defense Forces still made the Japanese jealous. The total number of Japanese army at this time was only 300,000, and because of supporting the Australian battle, many army soldiers were secretly sent to Australia. At that time, the actual total number of Japanese army was only 220,000. They had to be stationed in various colonies, and they also prevent domestic workers from awakening, strikes and struggles, causing national coups.

The streamlining and reorganized information of the Chinese ** team has been continuously transmitted to the Army Intelligence Department and Navy Intelligence Department of the Tokyo Base Camp in Japan through various channels that have made the National Defense Forces hate it. Japan is very vigilant and worried about the changes that are taking place in China. Japan is the least willing to unify China, and it is also very strongly hoping that China will divide. They have even formulated to divide China into seven countries according to the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. If not, the Japanese government will take action personally. They do not mind the "Fight of Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895"

". But the problem is that Japan is now trapped in the quagmire of the Australian mining dispute in the UK and Japan, and it is neither to stay nor to leave. It is easy to say that it is easy to leave, but the Japanese government has almost invested one-third of its finances in Australia's resource competition. The navy and army, which have always looked at each other, stood together in an abnormal manner, advocating to teach the British a lesson and not to be weak to Britain. The pride of the British Empire will never allow bowing to the yellow race, so the two sides were in a stalemate in Australia.

The Japanese government, especially the literati government of Haraki, was secretly alert to China's rise. They sent a large number of personnel to China to analyze the changes in China's situation, but the people they sent seemed to have been tracked. Even some hidden strongholds many years ago were excavated by the Chinese, making the Japanese government even more alert.

The Japanese Navy disdained China's development. The glory of the world's third naval empire made the Japanese Navy blindly optimistic. Moreover, they focused on maritime power. If conflicts on land can be avoided, they would avoid giving the army a chance to develop a strong position. The Japanese Army was more worried than the Navy. After all, a total of seventeen divisions in Japan were scattered in various colonies, and four of them were unwilling to fight with the Chinese Defense Forces.

In order to interfere with China's unification, Japan hopes to relocate a pro-Japanese warlord force to fight against Wang Maoru's defense force. The Japanese government first found Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui clan, hoping that Duan Qirui would come out again and seize power, so that it would be best to make the Anhui clan rise. Mobilize the entire Anhui clan warlord army to fight against the Central Defense Forces. Duan Qirui could not see the Japanese's evil intentions clearly, but while fighting, he asked someone to report the Japanese conspiracy to Wang Maoru.
