Years of the Republic of China 1913

() Yuan Sizhen didn't stay in Fang Zida's study for a long time, packed up his things and left soon.Of course, she promised Fang Zida to find time to pass on the word to Wang Shizhen. With Wang Shizhen's political stance, such trivial matters should not be a problem.

After Yuan Sizhen left, Fang Zida continued to write and write with a pen and paper. He actually had a preliminary draft of the idea of ​​the new cabinet. If he followed his true thinking, it would be best to make major changes to the current cabinet, or even remove and add new cabinets. several departments.Especially for the two powerful military departments of the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, Fang Zida's initial idea was to simply set up a military committee on top of it to directly govern the other, but as soon as this idea flashed through his mind, he gave it to him. Negative.According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, once a powerful institution such as the Military Commission is established in the government, Fang Zida, as the new prime minister, will inevitably be mobilized and attacked.

The Republic of China is a constitutional government, and the country is governed by a constitutional government and a democratic system. The military committee, a powerful authority, is actually the initial type of a government system. Not to mention that it cannot be passed in the Congress, I am afraid that even the Song Dynasty, which has retreated to the second line Jiaoren will also take the lead in opposing, which is not beneficial to Fang Zida's governance, and the final result is counterproductive.

For this reason, Fang Zida can only adjust the various departments of the cabinet within the scope stipulated by the constitution.Now the ministries of the cabinet are: the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense (including the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy), the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the General Staff. There are two major institutions, the General Police Bureau of Zhongyangjing and the Bank of Zhongyang.

The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Zhongyang Bank are Fang Zida's original domains, and the Ministry of Communications is also a member of the Fang Department. Although Fang Zida has been involved in the industry, commerce, agriculture and forestry for a long time, his direct influence in the government departments is not enough. The General Police Bureau has always maintained neutrality and can be put aside for the time being. The next step is the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff.As for the judiciary and education, these two pieces are originally used to support idlers, and it is fine to provide for them on weekdays without causing trouble for themselves.

These departments have become established rules, and no matter whether they increase or decrease, it is a troublesome matter, so Fang Zida is not going to make drastic rectifications, he only needs to adjust the candidates for the chief and deputy chiefs in some departments.But there was one thing he had to do.That is the Secret Service that has been hanging under the General Staff.

Since the establishment of the secret service, with the development of personnel and the enhancement of work targeting, its role in zhengfu has become greater and greater.For some reason, from the very beginning, Fang Zida set up the Secret Service Department to get it under the name of the General Staff Headquarters, but as the Secret Service Department grew stronger, it was no longer appropriate for the General Staff Department to be under the name of the General Staff Department.What's more.Fang Zida is now the Prime Minister of the State, and he has every right to separate the Secret Service from the General Staff. Regarding how to install the separated Secret Service, Fang Zida has considered for a long time, and decided to divide it into two with reference to the experience of later generations, and change the Secret Service to the Intelligence Bureau. and the Security Bureau.Among them, the intelligence bureau is external, and the security bureau is internal, and the two are both du li and overlapping, so as to improve the organizational structure of the entire national intelligence agency.

As for who will be the chief of the two intelligence departments, Fang Zida also has some considerations.Following him on the saddle, Zhou Yuanliang, who has been in charge of the secret service, is the No. 1 choice, and whether he is sitting in the intelligence bureau or the security bureau.This can only be confirmed after a detailed discussion with Zhou Yuanliang.As for the other candidate, Fang Zida was hesitant. In his mind, Boss Dai or General Li would be excellent candidates, but now these two are fledgling boys, not to mention that even Fang Zida himself doesn't know where they are now. Liao stays there, so what if he finds it? Is it possible to expect such an important position to be placed in the hands of young people who don't even know what intelligence is?

In fact, apart from Zhou Yuanliang, there are currently two most suitable candidates, but when he thinks of these two candidates, Fang Zida shakes his head and smiles wryly.No reason.It's just that the background of these two people is too great to dare to use.

One of the two is Zhao Bingjun, who was the prime minister of the state and is now the national police chief.And the other person is even more remarkable, that is Yuan Shikai's confidant, the head of Jinyiwei in Beiyang, and the general-Lu Jianzhang.

Whether it is Zhao Bingjun or Lu Jianzhang, judging from their familiarity and ability to intelligence.It is beyond reproach to be the director of the intelligence bureau or the security bureau, but because these two people are so powerful, the intelligence bureau and the security bureau are not ordinary departments. brings advantages.If it doesn't work out, it will cause trouble for himself. Fang Zida dared not hand it over to them even if he preferred the vacancy of the position of director general.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he drew a circle on the intelligence bureau and the security bureau. Fang Zida planned to wait for Zhou Yuanliang's whereabouts to be confirmed before deciding on another candidate.Although Zhao Bingjun or Lu Jianzhang had a record of selecting personnel from the Secret Service, Fang Zida vetoed this idea after considering it.In the future, the Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau will be two independent, opposing and cooperating organizations. It’s not that Fang Zida can’t trust Zhou Yuanliang, but that another candidate must have nothing to do with Zhou Yuanliang in order for the two organizations to start a healthy competition. Intelligence work has gone to the next level.Once the government leaves the same sect, Fang Zida's good intentions of establishing the two agencies will be ruined. What is the difference between this and not splitting the Secret Service?

Busy until it was getting late, Fang Zida put down the pen and paper in his hand, stood up and stretched, opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing him to shrink his neck, but at the same time his mind was dizzy. I also feel sober.

He closed the window, went out, and walked steadily in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. When Fang Zida was about to take a rest and go back to his room to rest, a servant suddenly came to tell him that Cao Rulin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had come.

Hearing that it was Cao Rulin, Fang Zida hurriedly asked him to come in, and hurried to the front yard at the same time.Cao Rulin's visit is probably because of the war in Europe. Calculating the time, it will be some days before the U.S. Army arrives in Europe to start the war. These days, Fang Zida has been telling Cao Rulin that if there is an update on the European war, no matter how late it is, he must be the first Time to tell him.

"Chang Ming! Calling from Europe!" As expected, when Fang Zida rushed to the front yard to meet Cao Rulin, the other party took out a message from his pocket and said in a joyful tone.

He hurriedly took the telegram and read it carefully. Fang Zida quickly read it with three lines at a glance, and couldn't help but also beam with joy.

The message was sent by the European Expeditionary Force. Just yesterday, another attack by the German Army on the Marne River was repulsed by the Allied Powers.Since November last year, the German team has launched a total of five crazy attacks, all of which have failed to achieve their goals.On the contrary, due to the increase of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the arrival of the U.S. Army, the strength of the Allied Powers was greatly increased and the morale was high. The German army lost a total of 11 people in these five attacks and gained nothing on the battlefield. Has withdrawn the Hindenburg Line from offense to defense.

Although in these several battles, the Chinese Expeditionary Force lost a lot, according to statistics, the casualties were as high as more than 3 people.However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force after the increase in troops still maintained a huge force, and after repelling the Germans in front of them, the Expeditionary Force Command decided to launch a counterattack against the Germans, which made a lot of gains, which made the Allied Powers look at the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force with admiration.

Now, Germany retreated to the Hindenburg Line, the morale of the Allied Powers was boosted, and they were planning a massive counter-offensive in an attempt to completely resolve the war and force the Allies to surrender.For this reason, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command generated electricity domestically, soliciting opinions. (To be continued., You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
