Chapter 24 Arrangements
September 25, 1925, Yibin Military Headquarters.
Haoren and Chief of Staff Tong sat together, drinking tea and discussing personnel arrangements.
"I initially plan to let Bob serve as the deputy chief of staff of the First Division and work on behalf of the staff. Although Bob is German, he has left his original nationality. We must treat them equally. Besides, he is also a veteran of the First World War.
Well, he is from a serious academic background. Don’t look at the endless fighting here in Sichuan for years. It is just a small fight and there is no comparison." Haoren took a sip of tea and said.
"Yes, the war in Europe was a steel war, with heavy artillery fire. The civil war in Sichuan is really incomparable to the war in Europe. I think this will work, let Bob serve as the deputy chief of staff of the First Division.
Chief of Staff Tong nodded and said.
"The Second Division will appoint Cui Biao as deputy chief of staff. Lao Cui's greatest advantage is his conscientiousness. As you get older, your physical strength and energy are definitely not as good as when you were young, and you cannot do everything by yourself. Lao Cui just makes up for this.
"How do you feel?" Haoren asked.
"That's right. If I work as hard as you young people at my age, I won't be able to get ahead in a few years. Hehe, I still want to live a few more years to see what you can do." The old man grinned.
He smiled and said: "Xiao Renzi, you don't have to have any scruples. I can see that you still have some skills. Go ahead and do it boldly. I support you."
"Thank you for your support, uncle. This is what I think. At this stage, the division level is still used as the combat unit. It is announced to the outside world that one army has two divisions. You always select some young and capable staff members from the military staff to add them.
In order to improve the division staff." Haoren continued: "In addition, how about my brother's war? Let's see how to arrange it."
"Hey, don't mention it. I went to the military academy to learn about it two days ago, and what I learned was terrible. Hey, I'm not a talented fighter, so I'm worried about that." The old man shook his head and sighed.
tone.
"Don't worry, I've never seen him fight, so I'm asking you if I don't understand. We are a family, and you are just a son. How can I push him into a pit?" Haoren paused and continued:
"If you can fight, you have to make arrangements; if you can't fight, you have to make arrangements. I plan to set up a logistics and equipment department in the military department and let him be the deputy minister to preside over the work."
"The span is a bit big. It's not appropriate to upgrade several levels in a row." Chief of Staff Tong shook his head worriedly.
"You don't have to worry. My brother's personality is suitable for this kind of work. He is an honest person. As long as he works diligently and meticulously, there will be no problem." Haoren said with certainty.
"Well, he is an honest person, but this is also worrying." After all, it was an old guy who could see the key point of the problem at a glance.
"You have to do some education work when you are old. To do this work, you have to disown your relatives and avoid being deceived. Don't worry now, the army is directly supplied by me, and it will be difficult to say in the future. The army continues to expand, and the scope of procurement is inevitable.
"Haoren said thoughtfully: "After a while, we will see which factory can make a profit and give my brother 10% of the shares. Money is not an issue, and we just need to take care of our relationships."
"Don't mention it, you just gave me 20% of the shares. How much money is there? I'm already extremely rich. How can I ask for more? Besides, you need money the most to support so many troops. You will spend it in the future.
Sales are booming." The old man waved his hands anxiously.
"Um, just a little less. I can give my brother some consideration. By the way, in a few days my cheap father-in-law will come to jointly open a factory. I will give him 5% of my share. That's it.
You should stop nagging me," Haoren said firmly.
The old man tried to say something, but finally gave up.
After removing this topic, Haoren turned to another question: "Second uncle, next I plan to remove Liu Qixiang and Wang Xinguo from the army and let them engage in local management." Haoren said thoughtfully: "You sir
Think about it, this local management is our shortcoming. Now that the local jurisdiction is expanded, the next step is to go south to the edge of Yunnan and east to the edge of Guizhou. We must prepare for a rainy day."
"Well, it seems like you have big ambitions. You brat, tell me everything! Don't squeeze toothpaste out of me." After all, he was an old fox. He didn't understand how ambitious this guy was.
"Hey, your ambitions are definitely not small. You can imagine big things." He said with a smile: "My next step is to build a political party, called the National Party. Its meaning is also very simple: the country is to strengthen the country.
, a strong Han nationality who will no longer be bullied by foreigners. The family is a rich family, and it wants the people to be happy. There are no other doctrines of this or that, nothing fancy. Of course, these are currently hidden and not made public. Established
The political parties and the military government only need to know about it among senior military officers. The current situation can only be developed in a low-key manner, otherwise it will be dangerous."
"Xiao Renzi, it's good that you think about the problem like this. It's right to keep a low profile. Otherwise, these warlords in Sichuan and even the people's government will reach out and kill you. By then, Xiao Renzi will no longer be a eunuch, but also a eunuch. Haha." The old man was typical.
He was disrespectful to his elders and made fun of his juniors.
Xiaorenzi also made a heying noise twice, and then said: "Hey, my second uncle is making fun of me again. Our military government is divided into two parts: military and civil affairs. You have been worrying about the civil affairs for the past few years. Wait for the gang from the government school.
If the ones that come out grow up, if there are good seedlings, we will add more. Now let Liu Qixiang and Wang Xinguo assist you. If their abilities are good, they can take over from you in the future. In addition, the Army Reorganization Plan will be launched as soon as possible. I will
Let’s make these appointments first to pave the way for future work. It’s up to you.”
"Okay, let's do it like this." Chief of Staff Tong said, and then added: "I will go to Chengdu in a few days. I can't just take advantage of those thieves. How can we also get some benefits, right?"
"Well, you are still thoughtful. We don't want to go too far. We don't want to let go of the ground south of the Yangtze River starting from Yibin." Haoren said.
Tong Yigong replied: "This requirement can still be achieved, I think it will work."
"The other is to try to get Fan Shaozeng to secure the defense zone south of the Yangtze River stationed in Chongqing. In this way, except for Ya'an, all the south of the Yangtze River is under our control." Haoren said with a sly smile.
"What a little fox, Tata is so cunning, this is such a damn good step." Tong Yigong laughed and scolded.
