Years of the Republic of China 1913

() "It's easy!" Fang Zida agreed without hesitation, looking at Feng Yuxiang: I just happened to hire the old man to mention to my younger brother that the General Staff Department lacks a chief of staff, if Brother Huanzhang wants to do it! "

Feng Yuxiang was slightly taken aback, Chief of Staff?How could he be interested in this position?Immediately smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that Feng Yuxiang didn't say yes, Fang Zida suggested again: "Or, brother Huanzhang can also serve in the Ministry of Army or the Ministry of National Defense. It shouldn't be a big problem to be the director of the department with brother Huanzhang's qualifications and military rank."

This time, Feng Yuxiang was even more embarrassed. Fang Zida chose three places for him, the General Staff, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of the Army. They were either directors or division chiefs. To others, these positions seemed fat and poor. It's too late to be happy.But how could Feng Yuxiang be satisfied with just being a civilian officer with no real power?If that was the case, there would be no need for Fang Zida to come forward at all. With Lu Jianzhang's status and influence, this matter could be settled.

"Shang Ming, the places you mentioned are good, but they are not suitable for Huanzhang." Feng Yuxiang couldn't say this kind of thing, but it was much easier to say it from Lu Jianzhang's mouth. Lu Jianzhang laughed and said immediately .

"Inappropriate?" Fang Zida pretended to be puzzled and thought for a while, then suddenly patted his forehead and suddenly realized: "Yes, I was wrong just now. Brother Huanzhang said before that the young man didn't read many military books, so it's really not suitable. Work in this kind of environment. Then, Brother Huanzhang plans to enter the Zhongyang Military Academy for further study? To develop in the future? This is no problem. I will write a letter to the Zhongyang Military Academy later. I remember that the training class for general officers will be three months later. It will be opened soon, brother Huanzhang will go to gild it, and after graduation, he will have a bright future!"

What Fang Zida said made Lu Jianzhang and Feng Yuxiang look at each other, what is this?Let Feng Yuxiang go to the military academy to be gilded?Still have a bright future?What nonsense!

"Shang Ming, don't be joking. To tell you the truth, Huanzhang was transferred to the capital with the intention of letting him continue to lead troops. Huanzhang himself meant the same thing. So let's forget about the places you just mentioned. "Lu Jianzhang broke down dumbfounded.

Speaking of this, Fang Zida couldn't do Taijiquan anymore, he frowned and thought for a while and shook his head, "Uncle Lu, Brother Huanzhang, this is not easy to do. The important places in the capital, except Nanyuan Garrison and Baoding Garrison , where are there other troops? What's more, you also know that these are directly managed by the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Headquarters. If Brother Huanzhang is just a colonel, Zida can think of a way to transfer him to be a regiment commander or something. But now that Brother Huanzhang is a major general, he is more likely to be brigade commander, so he can't be subservient to others in the future, and be someone else's deputy?"

Fang Zida's words are reasonable. These two troops are basically a radish and a pit. They are already full, and even if they are arranged at most, they will be deputies. If Feng Yuxiang is proud, he will not be willing to be a deputy without authority. In other words, let's say If he really didn't care about this, Fang Zida wouldn't be afraid of Feng Yuxiang being transferred to Beijing. As long as he doesn't serve as the chief military officer of the First Army and everything is still under Fang Zida's control, I'm sorry he won't be able to make waves.

Lu Jianzhang nodded slightly after hearing this, but he seemed to have a plan in mind, and immediately waved his hands and said: "It's natural, Huanzhang is a general under the old man, and he is also one of his own, how can he be wronged to be someone else's deputy? However, the old man has an idea."

This time it was Fang Zida's turn to be surprised. He looked at Lu Jianzhang, intending to hear what the old guy was planning.

"The European Expeditionary Force has been formed and the personnel of all parties have been basically confirmed. According to my husband's thinking, in this expeditionary force..."

Hearing this, Fang Zida was even more surprised. Didn't he say that Feng Yuxiang would be transferred to the capital?Why are you talking about the expeditionary force again?Is mobilizing the capital an excuse, and Feng Yuxiang's real purpose is to join the expeditionary force to fight in Europe?Can't gain qualifications in this way?

Before Fang Zida could figure it out, Lu Jianzhang's last sentence made him frown, and his heart suddenly burst into flames.

"... It is said that many officers of the Zhongyang Bank Guard Army were transferred to the Expeditionary Army, and Zhang Ming's Guard Army is short of people. Since they are all from our own, why not let Huanzhang be the commander of the Guard Army? Moreover, this guard army happens to be formed by a brigade, and Huanzhang's coming here is also considered a level tune, so it is not wronged him."

"I rely on!"

Fang Zida was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed. The Central Yang Bank Guard Army is his trump card in addition to the several group armies stationed in various places. With Fang Zida's mere chief financial officer plus the position of Central Yang Bank President, he can compete with the Minister of Defense and the Chief of General Staff. Even Song Jiaoren has to rely on it. The main reason is not only his financial control and the huge force of the foreign army, but also a more important reason is that this paramilitary army stationed in the capital is no less combative than the national defense army.

Speaking of the guard army, it was organized as a brigade at the beginning, but over the past few years, its soldiers have already approached a reorganized division.

Moreover, not long after He Yingqin escorted the weapons to the Northeast, Fang Zida learned from the secret service of his small calculations in the Yuan Keding incident, and hung him up just to be on the safe side.Although He Yingqin is the commander of the guard army in name, in fact the entire guard army is in Fang Zida's own hands, and he handles all matters big and small by himself.

In addition, the guards are also responsible for the confidentiality work of the military industry. Due to the importance of the military industry, Fang Zida deliberately handed over this task to the guards and the Secret Service. This is also the secret of his rocket launcher that has not been leaked until now. Great reason to go out.It can be seen from this that the importance of the Guards in Fang Zida's heart is no less than that of his starting army - the Eighth Division back then, and now the Eighth Army.How could Fang Zida hand over such an elite and secretive force to Feng Yuxiang?

Lu Jianzhang had a good plan, and Feng Yuxiang really had a good appetite. Fortunately, they figured out that this was the idea in their stomachs.That's right, as the guard of the central yang bank, as long as Fang Zida nods his position as the chief military officer, neither the Ministry of National Defense nor the General Staff will object, as long as it is filed everywhere.But what would Fang Zida do?If he did this, he would have broken his arm, or his brain would be flooded.

Enduring his anger, Fang Zida's brain was running fast, thinking about how to dispel the other party's thoughts

"I'm afraid it won't work..."

Fang Zida refused, and Lu Jianzhang and Feng Yuxiang's expressions changed immediately. Before they could speak, Fang Zida shook his head and said, "Uncle Lu, Brother Huanzhang, I'm afraid you don't know that the guard army will soon be restructured, and part of it will be transferred to the present plan." The other department of the National Defense Forces will be converted into a local security force, and may even be transferred from the capital. This is the main reason why Zida has not appointed his military chief. Do you want to push? No! Absolutely not!"

Fang Zida's words were half-true and half-false, and Lu Jianzhang was skeptical. However, the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff had always had objections to Zhongyang Bank's possession of such an army. Lu Jianzhang had heard of it a few times, but Feng Yuxiang's face suddenly flashed A trace of disappointment, but he quickly returned to normal, sitting quietly waiting for the next sentence. °

"Then, Zhang Ming, what do you think about Huanzhang..."

"That's it...." Fang Zida deliberately pretended to think about it, and then said: "Zida has a suggestion that may be successful, but I don't know if Brother Huanzhang accepts it?"

Feng Yuxiang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Zhangming, please be blunt."

"Okay!" Fang Zida smiled and raised a finger: "First, please wait patiently for some time, Brother Huanzhang. To be honest, I am opposed to the reform of the Zhongyang Bank Guard Army, but the Ministry of National Defense He and the General Staff have repeatedly pointed out that it is inappropriate for the central bank to set up a separate guard army, and the national army must be managed in a unified way. As the one who proposed the construction of the national defense force, I can't make an exception, but they promised that most of the guard army will be restructured. The entity will still be retained, but it will be controlled by Zhongyang Bank Du Li and replaced by Zhongyang Bank, the Ministry of National Defense, and the General Staff. As for how the restructuring will be completed, it is not known. It’s better to wait a few months and go through the transfer procedures after the restructuring is completed.”

Feng Yuxiang thought about it silently, Fang Zida's proposal sounds good, but it is actually a hollow gnocchi, who knows when the restructuring will be completed?He has always believed in the principle of quick strikes and slow strikes. Looking at a painting cake and dreaming of yellow beams, this is not Feng Yuxiang's style.Without much thought, he shook his head.

Fang Zida then raised another finger: "Secondly, if brother Huanzhang is willing to work in another place, Zida can arrange it, and he can also help him to be promoted to a higher level."

"How do you say that?" Feng Yuxiang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked hastily.

"Since the establishment of the National Defense Forces, the situation in all parts of the country has been very good, but Shanxi is somewhat unsatisfactory. Moreover, now that Tsarist Russia has undergone tremendous changes, and the European War has intensified. Several forces in Mongolia are eager to move, and they are a little restless. In this regard, Zhong Yang had to make preparations in advance. According to the cabinet consultation, he decided to set up several troops in various places in the north. Shanxi Datong will station an additional reorganized division. An accident happened."

"Editor?" Lu Jianzhang and Feng Yuxiang didn't listen carefully, but their spirits rose after hearing the three words.

"Yes!" Fang Zida nodded and confirmed: "Reorganizers, and not ordinary reorganizers, are the main reorganizers of the field forces. This proposal has been passed internally, and it will be officially announced soon. If Brother Huanzhang can go there, we will Uncle Lu and I recommended it at the same time, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to be a teacher. However, although the position is good, it is also risky, Brother Huanzhang, you should think about it!"

Hearing this, Feng Yuxiang's heart suddenly became hot.Editor!If he holds such an army in his hands, doesn't it mean that he has suddenly become a general of the military?What's more, if the position of division commander falls on his head, he will have one more star on his shoulders. At that time, not only will he be promoted, but his power will also be greatly increased. Apart from not being in the capital, this position is far more affordable than the original guard commander.

What's more, Shanxi Datong is not too far from the capital, and stationing in Datong is acceptable to both Lu Jianzhang and Feng Yuxiang, and even has a lot more benefits than originally expected.Immediately, Lu Jianzhang and Feng Yuxiang exchanged glances, and they both saw what the other was thinking. Looking at Fang Zida, who was waiting for their reply, he made up his mind. Already, it’s not because of good fortune and misfortune! Since Feng joined the army and led the army, what he has done is to ensure peace in the world and a good life for the common people! Soldiers regard obedience as their bounden duty, no matter where Feng is transferred, he should obey! Now that the situation is grim and the border is raging with flames of war, it is the time when our efforts are needed, and Feng is willing to shroud his body in horse leather, and he will do so!"

I'm going out tomorrow, so I may not be able to update it, so let me know in advance
