Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 736: General One Army

Tang Qiuli was eager to return to the front line in Tianjin to coordinate and command the decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China. When he returned to the hotel, Chen Cheng, Zhang Qun and other four people were waiting in the living room and immediately proposed the establishment of a national military committee regarding the Nanjing camp of the former enemy commander.

This is Tang Qiuli's unshirkable responsibility. As the chief official, if he does not come up with the charter, the people below will not be able to do things, and will be looked down upon by Chen Cheng and others, which will be detrimental to future command.

After pondering for a while, he collected the relevant information for later generations in his mind, and turned to the Chief of Staff Yang Ketian who was standing aside and said: "For the record, the Nanjing Camp will initially set up the following organizations. The Operations Department is responsible for formulating plans according to the commander's intention.

The operational plan, at the same time, performs the functions of the staff department, and the intelligence department is responsible for internal and external

Intelligence work, especially intelligence related to the Japanese army. The Ministry of Political Affairs is mainly responsible for eliminating enemy agents externally, eliminating collaborators internally, and cleaning up internally. It also performs the functions of the military law department. The Logistics Department is responsible for nationwide weapons and equipment, military supplies, food and wages, etc.

The specific work functions of the general department and the general department will be determined later.”

Chen Cheng and Zhang ** exchanged glances and said nothing. This was because Tang Qiuli's plan had basically summarized the basic structure of the camp. There was nothing to criticize. It was in line with convention to set up the structure first and then improve it. Zhang Zhizhong did not.

After thinking about it, Wei Lihuang agreed. Wei Lihuang thought for a moment and agreed. This matter will be considered unanimously approved.

The establishment of these departments proposed by Tang Qiuli is enough to keep Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun busy for a month or two. It involves personnel deployment and other aspects. This is the benefit of the chief officer. If you give a rough outline, there will naturally be people below to implement it.

, now that the basic structure has been finalized, a few people got up and left without delay. Tang Qiuli quite appreciated this.

But there is no such thing as a cheap thing. If you are not around, Chen Cheng and the others can do what they want. When the time comes, if Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun don't turn the Nanjing camp into a monolith, can you still get involved? Busy.

He said, "Guys, please stay. Qiu Li has important arrangements to make." He turned to a guard and ordered, "Go and invite the Director of the Intelligence Department."

Chen Cheng, Zhang Qun, and Wei Lihuang exchanged glances, and none of them understood what kind of medicine Tang Qiuli was selling in his gourd. Zhang Zhizhong was in a good mood, with a smile on his face. After a while, Yu Deshui came in, and Tang Qiuli pointed at Yang Ketian and Shen Jun.

, Yu Deshui said:

"These three people are all subordinates who have been with me for many years. They are very talented and commendable for their loyalty and bravery. What is even more rare is that they are loyal to the party and the country and hate the Japanese. When the country employs people, I am going to kill them.

Make arrangements to camp in Nanjing."

As soon as they finished speaking, Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun's expressions changed slightly. Wei Lihuang remained silent as usual. Zhang Zhizhong was stunned for a moment and then smiled. Tang Qiuli ignored their reactions and continued: "They are all experienced veterans.

War work can begin immediately, which will also reduce the workload of Chief of Staff Chen, deputy chiefs of staff Wei and Zhang, and Secretary-General Yang, so that the camp can be put into operation as soon as possible."

"In this way, Yang Ketian will serve as the director of the Operations Department, Yu Deshui will serve as the director of the Intelligence Department, and Shen Jun will serve as the director of the Political and Work Department. As for the candidate for the director of the Logistics Department, Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the Logistics Department of the ** Division,

Those who can hold this position will take up their posts in the near future. We will consider the candidates for other departments. We can give priority to selecting and recruiting talented young officers from various departments of the Military Commission. They will be sent to Nanjing to camp and learn the ability of overall coordination.

How about next?”

"Also, in order to strengthen the security work of the marching camp, I decided to transfer three units of the ** Division Guard Brigade, totaling 950 people, to the Nanjing Camping Guard Corps." After saying that, looking at these people with a smile, Chen Cheng

He Zhang Qun's expression changed greatly. The power of Tang Qiuli's move was that he quietly took control of several key functional departments of the camp in his own hands. The person who could follow Tang Qiuli for many years must be him.

With close friends, it is almost impossible to bribe and divide them.

He deliberately raised objections, but the reasons were not sufficient. He knew that Tang Qiuli was using his own personal power, but even the entire country's army was under his unified command. Just saying "When the country is employing people, we should not avoid relatives."

I'm going to choke you half to death. Besides, in the first meeting, they can't have a half-hearted fight with their nominal boss over the selection of several subordinate organizations. That's almost like a quarrel. They can't, and they don't dare to do so for the time being.

Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun seemed to have swallowed twenty-five rats in one mouthful, with hundreds of claws tickling their hearts. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to agree with a grimace. Wei Lihuang did not react at all. Anyway, everything had nothing to do with him. Zhang Zhizhong

The smile on his face became even stronger, Tang Qiu was heartbroken

Secretly laughing, the Vice Chairman came up with a plan to sideline himself, so he gave the old man a bad rap, and even responded to the selection of candidates for the specific executive departments. I don’t know who is sidelining whom? It makes people unable to find fault, thinking

If you are playing tricks, then I will accompany you to the end.

Yang Ketian, Shen Jun, and Yu Deshui also secretly laughed in their hearts, admiring the division commander's methods. Look at these people, they all stood at attention and saluted as if they had eaten bitter melon: "Chief of Staff Chen, Secretary-General Yang, Deputy Chief of Staff Wei, Deputy Zhang

Chief of Staff, I will be loyal to my duties and live up to the expectations of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. If there are any orders, I will definitely obey them and never dare to slack off."

In an understatement, Tang Qiuli quietly installed his own forces in the Nanjing camp of the former enemy commander. The three division chiefs of the ** division were officially appointed. At this point, they seemed to be humble.

The veil of harmony had disappeared. Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun had no intention of lingering and were about to stand up and leave. Tang Qiuli knew that several people were eager to go to Chairman Chiang to report to him so that he could get some ideas to deal with his dirty tricks.

But he was not in a hurry to let them go, and wanted to add fuel to the fire. He said sternly to Chen Cheng: "Chief of Staff Chen, in the name of the former enemy commander of the Military Commission's Nanjing camp, immediately issued the first order to urgently mobilize the Central Army of the three divisions of the Songhu Theater.

The troops will immediately go to the front line in Tianjin to participate in the upcoming North China Battle in the Yellow River Basin Theater. They must arrive within five days. Anyone who violates this will be subject to military law. I will wait for their arrival in Tianjin."

"This time, Commander Zhang's troops were mobilized. Brother Wenbai handled the specific arrangements. After receiving the order, he took action immediately and reported it to the Military Commission for record. In the message, he reminded the commanders of the three divisions that I, Tang Qiuli,

I don’t care if I shoot all the division commanders, but I can also remind the local officials who are bent on preserving their strength and the central army ministers that military orders cannot be violated." When Tang Qiuli said this, his eyes flashed with a cold light and his voice was stern.

Chen Cheng's face turned pale, Yang Yongtai also had no idea, Wei Lihuang looked as though the matter had nothing to do with him, Zhang Zhizhong was thoughtful, Tang Qiuli's words could be said to be from the general, Chen Cheng was the most troublesome

Heart, it makes no sense to refuse to obey this order.

, Mobilizing the army is originally the scope of authority of Tang Qiuli, the camp director. If he really cares about it, with Tang Qiuli's consistent style, it is not impossible to shoot several division commanders of the Central Army to establish his authority, and he will end up disobeying his orders.

crime.

After the Xi'an Incident, Tang Qiuli had just accepted the appointment as the commander of the South Road. He dared to shoot the nephew of He Yingqin, who was the Minister of Military Affairs at the time. He was also a division commander of the Central Army. He had shot many senior Central Army officers and local officials in the past few years.

Isn't it still less? If the order is carried out, without Chairman Chiang's nod, he cannot make the decision, and he does not dare to make the decision.

Chen Cheng was in chaos and didn't know what to do. Yang Yongtai, who was known as a resourceful man, was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead and was helpless. This was all because Tang Qiuli's order was so reasonable that he couldn't fault it and refused to carry out the order.

I was afraid that I couldn't even leave the living room, so I had no choice but to stand at attention and answer: "Yes, Director Tang, give the order immediately." After saying that, he and Yang Yongtai looked at each other, feeling helpless.

This time, the old man may have shot himself in the foot. He couldn't play with the cunning Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli turned around and ordered Yang Ketian, "Minister Yang, why don't you immediately execute Chief of Staff Chen's order?" Yang Ketian turned and left.

, Chen Cheng and Yang Yongtai said goodbye like eggplants beaten by frost, with wilted heads and brains, and no intention of being polite, but Wei Lihuang and Zhang Zhizhong still behaved. Zhang Zhizhong also said: "Rush back to Shanghai immediately and prepare to carry out Director Tang's order."

"

Watching a few people leave, Tang Qiuli laughed heartily. He was so unhappy today. He gave a blow to the generals that Chairman Chiang used to evade him, and also easily defeated Chairman Chiang's army. He didn't expect three of them.

Can the central army troops of the division really

We are joining the decisive battle in North China. It would be better if we arrive on time. More troops can be mobilized to join the Shanhaiguan battlefield. This is the main battlefield of the decisive battle in North China. The Kwantung Army is fighting. Therefore, the decisive battle in North China is written on the front line of Shanhaiguan.

If the troops of the three divisions of the Central Army cannot arrive on time, it will not affect the entire battle situation. The troops in hand are still enough for the time being. The so-called icing on the cake rather than providing help in the snow. You have the handle and can deal with it at will. The most important thing is to use one move.

Just try to find out Chairman Chiang’s true intentions. If Chairman Chiang is afraid that he will use up all his direct troops, he will quietly transfer the Central Army to the southwest in order to preserve his strength. The vacuum in the south of the Yangtze River will be filled by himself.

It will be filled immediately.

If he doesn't move, he will have hundreds of thousands of well-trained and well-equipped Central Army troops at his disposal. The battle plan to attack the Kwantung Army in the Northeast can be carried out in advance. Anyway, it depends on Chairman Chiang Kai-shek whether the left or right will suffer.

After accepting his own move, he made a decision and arranged for Yang Ketian and others to camp in Nanjing. Even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's ruthless move to evade him was resolved at the same time. Tang Qiuli was in an extremely happy mood.

In the evening, the special plane from Jinan landed at Wuhan Airport. It was also a large escort fleet. Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the ** Division Air Force, personally led the team. There were hundreds of local and central officials who came to the airport to see him off.

People with different thoughts shook hands with Tang Qiuli one by one and said goodbye. The scene was grand and warm.
