The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 468 Setting up a military academy

Author: Star Traveler

Knowing that the Japanese army would surrender in more than half a year, Li Yunlong had no need to provoke the Japanese anymore and focused all his attention on the development of the troops and base areas.

After wiping out the bandits and bandits in the defense area, Li Yunlong summoned Zhao Gang, Ding Wei and Kong Jie to discuss setting up a group of military academies to train lower-level commanders in the army.

After all, since the merger and establishment of the North China First Column, the military strength has expanded rapidly, and now the total strength including the militia has reached more than 70,000.

Although the strength has increased a lot, the shortcomings have also been exposed, that is, the quality of the lower-level officers has seriously declined. Some officers cannot even read maps, let alone literacy.

Although Li Yunlong had asked Zhao Gang to run a literacy class before when he was in the New Regiment, there were only a few people who could read and understand maps, and with several major battles, those who could read and read maps had also been reduced a lot.

So Li Yunlong thought of setting up a military academy to train officers in one step. After all, the army now has so many troops that it is simply not enough to rely on superiors to send officers, and the headquarters does not have so many talents to send to Li Yunlong.

After all, the Eighth Route Army is not the only one with Li Yunlong’s troops expanding its strength. Since the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has expanded from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands now, an increase of more than 20 times. Most of the commanders of each unit have

You have to cultivate it yourself.

And even if there are intellectuals, most of them work in logistics, like Zhao Gang, so most of the commanders in the Eighth Route Army think that people like Li Yunlong can't read a single big character. There is nothing they can do about it. Domestic intellectuals are inherently poor.

There are few, and most of them are in the national army.

That's why Li Yunlong thought of setting up a military academy to solve this problem once and for all.

After all, the Japanese army will surrender in more than half a year. By then, they will definitely receive a large amount of Japanese equipment, and army expansion is a certainty.

Then the personnel and weapons and equipment are all there, and the rest are mainly officers, especially the lower-level officers. Although those who can fight do not necessarily have to be literate, literacy is always a good thing. As a later generation, Li Yunlong knows that the future of the military is knowledge.

development trends.

In the future, not only officers must have knowledge and academic qualifications, but even the top soldiers must have knowledge, otherwise who will control the technical weapons.

Although Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie do not have as far-term vision as Li Yunlong, they still support the establishment of a military academy. Although some of them do not have high educational levels, they also know the importance of talents.

Moreover, Zhao Gang also drew inferences from one example and proposed that not only a military academy should be established, but also a comprehensive college should be established to train administrative personnel.

After all, the First Column has occupied seven county towns, as well as large rural towns in North China. So many areas have to be managed by Zhao Gang.

Being extremely busy every day, Zhao Gang was already a little overwhelmed, so when Li Yunlong proposed setting up a military academy, he agreed without saying a word.

"Old Li, how did you, this old boy, think of setting up a military academy? Not to mention, it's a really good idea." Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong while drinking tea. He was very concerned about Li Yunlong's proposal to set up a military academy.

I agree, even though he himself is not well-educated, he respects educated people from the bottom of his heart.

"Let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about the military academy. Lao Li, I am not trying to hit you. Although I also set up a military academy to train military commanders, this military academy is not so easy to run. Let's not talk about anything else.

Let’s talk about this teacher first, where do you go to hire him? Although Lao Zhao’s cultural level is not low, but in terms of military affairs..." Although Ding Wei did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear. It is true that Zhao Gang is a college student, but he

Since joining the revolution, I have always held civilian jobs, and I am not as good as some of them in terms of military command.

But although their positions are not low and their military command capabilities are not weak, if they are allowed to teach in a few districts, then forget it.

Hearing Ding Wei's words, Zhao Gang also reacted. Among them, there were basically no people who had gone to school to study military commanders. So who would be the instructor? Although his partner Li Yunlong began to find that this boy had good commanding abilities, but

Zhao Gang was still a little worried about letting him serve as an instructor. After all, Li Yunlong learned his culture from him.

So after Ding Wei finished speaking, Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Yes, Lao Li, where can we hire this teacher? Let the headquarters support us? Although the headquarters has some talents, they are not many, and they will definitely not be able to give us much help."

After hearing what the two said, Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "This is easy to handle. Since the headquarters can't provide support, we can find a way ourselves. For cultural courses, Lao Zhao will arrange people to serve as instructors. As for military instructors, we will find them from within our own team."

, let those regimental commanders and battalion commanders take turns to be the instructors. As for how the courses are taught, it is better to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor than to do nothing."

"Is this possible?" Zhao Gang asked worriedly after hearing Li Yunlong's words.

"I think it's pretty good. Lao Li is right. Studying is better than not studying at all. It's like this anyway, can it be worse than before?" Ding Wei's eyes lit up when he heard Li Yunlong's words and he said.

"I think we can give it a try. We can be considered self-reliant, right? Besides, we all come from humble backgrounds, so why don't we still fight in the same way?" Kong Jie also agreed very much. Anyway, there is no solution. If there are some aspects

If you have talented people, who would be willing to do this? It’s not a good idea.

Seeing that several people had no objections, Li Yunlong said: "Okay, let's just settle it. Next, we will find an address and a name for the school, and quickly set up the school so that we can cultivate talents as soon as possible."

"How about calling it "Northwestern Shanxi Military Command Squad"? I think this name is good, what do you two think?" Ding Wei nodded and said. After speaking, he looked directly at Li Yunlong and Kong Jie aside. Anyway, there are only three of them in the military field.

Make up your mind, Zhao Gang only cares about life in the army.

"Well, Lao Ding is a good name. I think it's very good." After Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie agreed. Anyway, he didn't know how to name, nor was he at this level, and he really felt that Ding Wei had given him a good name.

The name is good, northwest Shanxi, isn't that where the three of them made their fortunes?

"No, no, even though the name is acceptable, I think it still doesn't make sense." Li Yunlong objected.

The main reason is that he feels that the name is too limiting and has regional attributes. Although they started their business in northwestern Shanxi, they cannot stay here forever.

"I said, Lao Li, if you think my name is not good, then you should choose another one." Ding Wei thought that Li Yunlong was deliberately looking for trouble, and thought to himself, Li Yunlong didn't know what level he was, and he also said that he

The name I chose was almost meaningless. Anyway, Ding Wei thought the name he chose was good. He wouldn't believe that Li Yunlong could choose a name better than his.

But what Li Yunlong said next made him dumbfounded and a little surprised.

Li Yunlong laughed and then said: "Old Ding, don't tell me, I have already chosen the name before. The reason why I just said this is to see what level you two are."

After Kong Jie heard what Li Yunlong said, he rolled his eyes at him angrily and said mockingly: "Then you tell me, I see, you, Li Yunlong, are just Zhu Bajie wearing glasses and pretending to be a college student, and you also dislike the name given by Lao Ding.

It’s not good enough, I think your name is not as good as that of Lao Ding.”

Li Yunlong was not angry when he heard what Kong Jie said. After all, he had been an old comrade for so many years and he still knew what kind of character Kong Jie was. So he smiled and said: "We are still pretending to be college students. To tell you the truth, the level of college students is not as good as that of college students."

Here we are.”

After speaking, Li Yunlong also glanced at Zhao Gang. Li Yunlong's cultural level is really not low. Before time travel, he was a graduate of Radio and TV University, and he also attended the foreign language class of Peking University in his previous life. If nothing else, his foreign language skills are definitely better than Zhao Gang's.

, but he couldn’t tell the matter.

"Lao Li, what do you mean by this? What are you looking at me for? What, you still want to sign with me?" Seeing Li Yunlong looking towards him, Zhao Gang couldn't help but say.

"Li Yunlong, please stop stretching your arms and tell me the name you gave the school." Ding Wei poked Li Yunlong with his hand and said.

"Okay, okay, I said it's not enough." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: The military academy is called "National Defense Military Academy". As for the cadre training class that Lao Zhao mentioned, how about simply calling it "National Administration Academy"? This name

Isn’t it more grand than Lao Ding’s “Northern Shanxi Military Command Team”?”

""National Defense Military Academy" and "National Administration Academy"" Zhao Gang lowered his head and muttered a few words, then raised his head and said incredulously: "This name is indeed a good one, but Lao Li, isn't your name a bit...

…, it’s a bit big.”

This was really beyond Zhao Gang's expectation. He originally thought that Li Yunlong couldn't think of any good names with just the little ink he had. But he didn't expect that Li Yunlong really gave him a surprise, but he was a little embarrassed. After all, these two schools

, according to his intention, it also functions as a training class.

It wasn't that the name Li Yunlong chose was not good enough, but he felt that a school run by a person like himself was not worthy of the name at all.

"I said, Lao Li, you are very ambitious. We can also use the word "country"? I think the name I gave is better. The name "Northwestern Shanxi Military Command Class" is low-key enough." Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong.

After two glances, the image of Li Yunlong in my mind has changed a lot.

"I think the name needs to be louder to make people feel grand, otherwise it will not be attractive." Li Yunlong didn't care about what Zhao Gang and Ding Wei said. As a latecomer, he knew that there is a difference between running a company and enrolling in school, so choosing a name is very important.

Importantly, just like the names given to third-rate schools in later generations, although their strength is poor, it does not affect their enrollment.

"Okay, let's do what we said. We've decided on a name. Next, let's talk about the location of the school. Lao Zhao, do you think which place in the county is suitable for setting up a school? Find a makeshift place to set up the school first. Anyway, we'll wait for you later.

When the conditions are good, they have to be rebuilt." Li Yunlong wanted to arrange the two schools in Ping'an County, because among the seven counties they occupy, Ping'an County is right in the middle, and it is also the largest among the seven counties.

A county town with an extremely advantageous geographical location, otherwise Li Yunlong would not have been able to set up his headquarters here.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang thought for a while and then said: "When we were in Ping'an County, we confiscated the assets of a group of Japanese businessmen. Now we still have five yards in our hands. Take out two yards.

There's nothing wrong with running a school, I just don't know which two places are suitable, why don't you take a look." Zhao Gang took out the county map, circled the locations of the five courtyards with a pen, and handed it to Li Yulong.

Li Yunlong took the map and looked at it, and then circled the two adjacent courtyards. Although these two courtyards are not the two largest ones here, they are in good locations and they are next to each other, separated by a road.

wall.

Anyway, the scale of the school will not be very large at the beginning. When conditions improve, we will definitely build a separate large-scale school. Now, the two yards are enough to be used together.

After deciding on a name and arranging the location of the school, Li Yunlong discussed with the three of them the first batch of teachers and the subjects to be studied.

After a short negotiation and Li Yunlong's proposal, the first batch of teacher candidates and study subjects were determined.

The Administrative College is run entirely according to Zhao Gang's ideas. As for the Military College, it was negotiated by Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, especially Li Yunlong. In recent years, most of the contacts were made by Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei also put forward a few points. As for Kong Jie, basically

Just nodded.

The study subjects of the military school have been determined to include basic cultural courses, reading pictures, drawing pictures, and homework on pictures. The major subjects are-infantry department, artillery department, cavalry department, and special operations department. In addition, there are

There is a transportation department and a logistics support department.

Basically, all the arms in Li Yunlong's army have entered the school's learning subjects. The first batch of teachers were all outstanding commanders and combatants selected from the army.

To organize the appointment of the school's management, the School of Administration was handed over to Zhao Gang. All administrators and teachers were selected from the Political Commissar Office, and the position of school principal was assumed by Zhao Gang.

Li Yunlong is also the principal of the Military Academy. Of course, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not idle either. They serve as vice principals, one as principal and two as deputy, which is about the same level as the three of them in the army.

After handling the school affairs, the next step is to select students. Because conditions are limited, not everyone can come to study. The first thing to select is those who have a certain cultural background. At least they must be literate. After all, time is limited and they cannot start from scratch.

Although most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers came from poor backgrounds, there were still many people who could read.
