Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Commissioner, this is the planning map of Xi'an." Liu Jiwen, who has just been urgently appointed as the mayor of Xi'an Special City and director of the New Capital Construction Committee, is showing Wang Zhenyu the city of Xi'an that their entire committee has worked hard for half a month to design. blueprints.This Liu Jiwen was the same age as Wang Zhenyu, and he was considered a very famous figure in the history of the Republic of China, holding many first records, such as the first mayor of Nanjing under the National Government, Song Meiling's first boyfriend, and so on.But in Wang Zhenyu's place, Liu Jiwen's official fortune is not very good. Although he is Gu Yingfen's son-in-law, but this father-in-law is not very good in the national government.Since he ascended to the position earlier than in history, Sun Wen's reliance on Gu Yingfen has been greatly reduced. Gu Yingfen's rank has always remained at the position of civil affairs minister in Guangdong Province.However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and it is not a blessing if you lose your horse.At least this time, Gu Yingfen successfully escaped the mass arrest of Sun Wen's family. Not only that, but because a large number of middle and high-level cadres were purged, Sun Wen, Wang Jingwei, Lin Sen and other original leadership Withdrew from the stage of history.As a result, Gu Yingfen, who had stood aside for a long time, became a member of the KMT presidium together with Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai, Xie Chi, and Zou Lu. New federal elections instead of playing violent revolution, this is the result of the resolution of the Big Five.And Liu Jiwen's ability to enter Wang Zhenyu's eyes was also due to the strong recommendation of his father-in-law who had just gained power. Wang Zhenyu really lacked talents, so he was happy to give Gu Yingfen, an upstart of the Kuomintang, a little face.

And Liu Jiwen was flattered, because his current position is the deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Rural Reform Commission, so he had the honor to go to Nanjing to attend the discussion of the research group. The battlefield of partisan games, while at the city level is the battlefield of games between local forces, and the federal government with national defense and foreign affairs powers can directly control only seven special cities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Xi'an, Chongqing, and Anjiang. city.

Especially after listening to the discussion on the capital issue, Liu Jiwen got an important piece of information. The future federation may have more than one capital, and a situation where the three capitals of administrative capital, cultural capital, and economic capital are likely to appear side by side.Because of its unique geographical location, Xi'an is likely to become the administrative capital of the federation in the future, where the federal parliament and the federal central government will be located.In other words, the special city where I am the mayor is the most important one among the seven special cities. Isn't it true that what a man seeks while he is alive is a successful career?Liu Jiwen changed from a member of the Kuomintang to a supporter of Wang Zhenyu almost instantly.

"Ji Wen, this plan is very well done, with great care." Wang Zhenyu did not forget to praise Liu Jiwen and others for their hard work. A lot of modern elements need to be added.”

Liu Jiwen was dumbfounded when he heard it. This design pattern was something he worked on for a week with many famous planners and architects. If it didn't meet the standard, he really didn't know how to meet it, so he had to whisper: " I'm sorry for the presumptuousness of this humble position, please let me express it!"

In Chinese officialdom culture, the more cloudy the superior’s words, the more you have to pretend to understand. This is the rule. If you foolishly ask the leader to explain it clearly, then you will be an official. Fortunately, Wang Zhenyu is not the kind of leader who should be struck by lightning.

"There are a few points, I will mention them casually. You can make up your own mind whether it works or not. If this new capital is in the same model as Nanjing and Wuhan, it will not be called new. It must have its own characteristics, and it must have a long-term vision."

Wang Zhenyu stood up, looked carefully at the design and planning drawings laid out on the table and said: "Specifically, the first point, we should pay attention to where the city's function points are? What is the future role of Xi'an or Chang'an City?" The administration, the future federal parliament, federal government agencies, and federal military command organs will all be here. The first thing we need to ensure is the safety and livability of this area. The roads must be wide and all kinds of facilities must be complete. This We need to have a concept, what concept? The concept of urban population. If the population is large, no matter how many facilities there are, it will be impossible to use it. However, if the population is small, urban development will become a problem. Then there is only one way to solve this problem. To build a satellite city, a large number of satellite cities will be attached to the main functional area. For example, the supply of vegetables, fruits and agricultural products in this city will be concentrated in that area first, and the transportation hub will be transferred in that area. Which satellite cities can build residential quarters, and which satellite cities are used for business Business centers and so on. Then how do we connect these satellite cities, trams or subways. What will the population size of the city be in the next few decades? 100 million or 1000 million, this is what we need to consider Therefore, Chang'an should not only be as big as Xi'an, but also include the surrounding Xianyang, so this plan needs to be redone. In addition, the urban area should also consider medical and health culture and education, and consider the travel and life of residents. The mayor is not only a chief executive, but also takes care of the lives of his children like a parent. Ji Wen, if you figure out this idea, your work will be easier in the future."

Liu Jiwen nodded after a sudden realization. . .

After Liu Jiwen was sent away, the main persons in charge of the military reform and design work were already waiting at the door.Wan Yaohuang, Li Zongren, and Xu Yuanquan are the main persons in charge of the military reform design work. Many plans for the military reform were drafted by the three of them and then submitted to Wang Zhenyu.This draft has been revised many times, and all three of them felt that it was about the same, so they sent it over. If Wang Zhenyu thought it was acceptable, he would send it to the Political System Research Group for discussion.

Wang Zhenyu took the plan and looked at it carefully. There was no way, the biggest foundation of his commander was none other than the million-dollar army under his command.After reading it again, Wang Zhenyu threw the plan on the table, shook his head and said: "You still don't understand what I mean, this time I really intend to nationalize the army, so the idea that Wuhan was superior to Nanjing in the past was unpopular. Don’t be unconvinced, think about it, why does the Kuomintang want to bring us down again and again? It’s because they think our system is unreasonable. If the system is acceptable to everyone, then the political Peaceful compromise can only be negotiated when the new federation is established in the future, the historical position of the army can no longer be a revolutionary army or the personal soldiers of Marshal Wang, but should be the army of the country. The object of their allegiance should be all the citizens, not me, Wang Zhenyu. Otherwise, if I, Wang Zhenyu, were to die, the army would not be in chaos, so the fundamental purpose of the nationalization of the army is to solve the problem of why the army fights?"

Wang Zhenyu pointed to the plan on the table and said: "Look at your plan again. There are still many things that need to be revised. The first is the establishment of the Military Commission. This organization is no longer needed. After our military is nationalized, we don't need any chairman. Well, the president, the head of state, is the supreme commander of the military. Underneath, there are the civilian Ministry of Defense and the military General Staff. The military still exists as an independent system. The Ministry of Defense still decides whether to fight or not, and the General Staff decides how to fight. Generally speaking, there is not much change. Except that the treatment is more favorable, and the non-wartime or overall war mobilization state does not engage in conscripts, everything else is the same as in the past. The only thing that needs to be changed is the abolition of the Political Department. Since it is a national army, as long as the daily It is enough to educate the patriotism of the army. There is no need to always brainwash the soldiers for that leader. It is the ideological basis and the greatest guarantee for the nationalization of the army to allow officers and soldiers to have independent judgments about right and wrong. Since the power of the Military Commission is divided into two , then the power of the Ministry of National Defense will also increase in the future, at least the military intelligence system will be assigned to the Ministry of Defense, but on the issue of military intelligence, my idea is to divide it into three, in the military system, the Ministry of Defense, and the General Staff Each department will set up a military intelligence bureau. The navy, air force, and army will all set up independent military intelligence departments. At the federal level, our federal government will set up the FBI at the judicial and national security levels. In addition, I also consider further strengthening the military. Supervision, but at the same time to ensure the confidentiality of the military, so I will set up the Department of Armaments and the Joint Logistics Command of the Three Services outside the National Defense and General Staff, and these two units will accept the direct supervision of the future Federal Parliament.”

Wang Zhenyu paused for a moment and then said: "The division of military branches also needs to be changed. My idea is to establish an air force, a navy, and an army in the future. The current northeast, northwest, and Mongolian border guards can only be assigned to the army system, directly under the army. The leadership of the General Staff. It is enough for the standing army to maintain 5000 divisions, and one division is enough for each province. The size of the security force will be reduced, and some will be transferred to the local police. This will be handed over to the local government. The security force will be renamed the National Guard. They are stationed in provinces, with a maximum of [-] people in each province. They are deployed and supported by the provincial government in non-wartime, and the personnel relations are in the central government. The railway construction corps also needs to be reformed, and those who are willing to transfer to the local railway company will go to the local area, and those who are unwilling Others went to join the Northeast Construction Corps."

Wan Yaohuang plucked up the courage to interrupt Wang Zhenyu: "Commander, if you follow your thinking, then many departments are facing abolishment, this, this..."

Wang Zhenyu smiled: "The number of soldiers is not enough. The army will definitely abolish and downsize. In the future, our strategy is to go out, so the investment in the navy and air force will increase. The army that is willing to transfer can sign up to participate in the construction of the new navy and new air force. Well!"

Everyone nodded for a while, there was no way, now Wang Zhenyu is the biggest, so what he said is what he said.
