Chapter 5 Heaven's Calculation
When Xiao Tang and Mi Feng were allowed to make large-scale adjustments to the Northwest officialdom, Wufeng focused his main energy on reorganizing the army.
The First Guard Division led by Song Tianxiong suffered the most severe blow since its establishment, and its combat effectiveness was greatly weakened and almost lost its establishment. At the Northwest Joint Military Staff Conference held by Ling Tianfang, Mi Feng proposed to send Song Tianxiong to the Military Law Department for investigation and disposal. According to the system of the Northwest Joint Military Staff Conference, although the Military Law Department exercised the right to deal with military law alone, officers above the commander of the division must be approved by more than half of the members of the Military Staff Conference or directly obtained the authorization of the Military and Political Governor to agree to one of these two conditions. Li Wufeng shelved the request of the Director of Military Law to directly authorize the investigation and disposal, but asked him to submit a proposal at the Joint Staff Conference to vote.
The members of the Northwest Joint Staff Association are composed of seven members of the Chief Staff (i.e., Chief of Staff), Director of Military Law, Chief of the Four Major Corps, and Commander-in-Chief of the Western Regions Joint Army. The vote is carried out in a secret manner. In the vote on whether to remove the position of commander of the First Guard Division of Song Tianxiong and conduct a military law investigation, the vote unexpectedly had an embarrassing ending of 2 to 2, and the other three votes were abstentions. According to the provisions of the Joint Staff Association system, if the same number of votes occurs on a certain matter, the voting matters will be automatically submitted to the Military and Political Administration Commissioner to make a judgment. In this way, the ball will return to Wufeng's hands.
Wufeng has always been in a contradictory mood in this matter. If it comes to personal feelings, Song Tianxiong has been following him since he served as the captain of the Guards Coalition, and he saved his life in the assassination of the imperial capital. Moreover, Wufeng also believes that the catastrophe of the First Guards Division encountered in the Third Northwest War was not mainly Song Tianxiong, but because he overestimated Besan's ability to make decisions on the spot and misjudged the time of the other party's organization and mobilization. However, after several war situations
In terms of analysis, the staff at the General Staff Headquarters did not agree with Wufeng's view. In their opinion, although the Northwest side had wrongly judged the opponent's mobilization speed and time, if Song Tianxiong, as a vanguard officer, could maintain a reasonable distance from the main central army according to the established tactics rather than make a rash move, then the Luo Beiren's surprise attack would not cause such great losses to the main force of the Northwest Army's eastern front. At least the third, fourth and even fifth divisions of the Northwest First Legion would not pay such a heavy price to rescue the First Guard Division.
Wufeng also knew that the handling of Song Tianxiong was of great importance. Many people in the army regarded Song Tianxiong as a celebrity in their minds. They could be promoted from a guards corps captain to the guards division commander. In addition to the specific environment at that time, it was also impossible to say that Wufeng had a preference in his heart. When Wufeng proposed that the Military Law Department intervened in the investigation, he hoped that Mifeng's motion could not be passed at the Joint Staff Meeting, but the matter was not varied by human will, and in the end he had to make a decision.
This was a difficult choice, but Wufeng knew that he might have to make it, and even made it against his will. It was precisely because Song Tianxiong was from a guard around him that he had to cry and endure the pain. However, there is also an advantage to let the Military Law Department intervene. Mi Feng's selflessness is well known. As long as they can make a reasonable judgment, it proves that Song Tianxiong is not very wrong in this matter, I believe that Song Tianxiong will be able to stand up again.
Wufeng finally agreed to Mi Feng's motion, removed Song Tianxiong from his position as the commander of the First Guard Division and investigated by the Military Law Department. However, Wufeng also asked Song Tianxiong to be responsible for the reconstruction of the First Guard Division on the grounds that the reconstruction of the First Guard Division was urgently needed.
At the same time, the three divisions that suffered heavy damage in the Northwest First Legion were supplemented and reorganized as soon as possible. Cyclists who graduated from Northwest Military Academy were given priority to supplement these three divisions, and the combat effectiveness of these three divisions was also quickly restored. After completing the preliminary training, the three light cavalry teams of 10,000 people from the Motel Self-Defense Forces and Tubu Self-Defense Forces were immediately transferred to Bonan to the Tianshui Line by the Joint Staff Conference for adaptive marching exercises, and the unicorn troops that had been supplemented with two thousand also quietly arrived in Jinzhou for terrain adaptation training.
The Engineer Soldier Division was finally established, but the equipment was far from meeting the standards that Wuxing hoped for. However, this was not something that could be achieved in a day or two. It would require a lot of funds to accumulate and sufficient time to get familiar with it. This is also the first time that Northwest has formed a first-level engineering corps at the division level.
Although the First Guard Division suffered a heavy blow, it was still able to persist stubbornly despite being sieged by several times the enemy's siege, which fully demonstrated the ability of the officers led by Song Tianxiong. After learning about the huge role of sniper in this hard battle, Wufeng immediately ordered a sniper squadron to be added to the first-level army of each division, and selected those with excellent arrow skills from the troops for special training, and were specifically responsible for sniping officers at all levels in the battle; at the same time, he also selected those with outstanding martial arts skills in the troops to enter the special training camp of the Military Academy.
Practice and improve martial arts, and be responsible for assassinating enemy officers on the spot during battle to attack the morale of the opponent. At the same time, Wufeng also allows the internal affairs and intelligence departments to recruit those with excellent martial arts who are willing to serve for themselves in the martial arts world in various parts of the empire to serve as instructors of the military academy or directly grant military posts to join the special operation department. Those who join the sniper force can be promoted and enjoy the treatment of officers directly. If they perform outstandingly in the war, they can be sent to the Northwest Military Academy for further study. After graduation, they can enjoy various treatments such as promotion and promotion like other officers who have accumulated military merits.
The combat readiness department has also strengthened combat readiness. In addition to the reserve and production of necessary combat readiness materials, the training of reserve personnel has also been greatly strengthened. With the increasing frequency of wars, the reserve soldiers have been continuously enriched into the regular army, which has also increased the requirements for reserve soldiers. Lao has become a busy man second only to Xiao Tang. Although the number of operators in the combat readiness agency has increased a lot, as the northwest field becomes larger and the size of the army expands, the matters involved are becoming more and more complicated. Lao has had to practice many things. Wufeng has repeatedly kindly reminded Lao not to do everything himself, and when delegating power, it is necessary to delegate power.
In short, the northwest after the Third Northwest War seemed very calm on the surface, and gentry, businessmen and ordinary people were immersed in this short peace. With the continuous chaos in the empire, a large amount of funds continued to pour into the northwest from the south of the Yangtze River, the East China Sea, the Five Lakes and the imperial capital, especially the commercial funds from the imperial capital were growing explosively. The Tenggery Grassland and Northern Luzon became the best places for these funds. Whether it was the emerging wool textile industry and the traditional
The national hand-made carpet weaving industry is also the three traditional pillar industries of Northern Luzon - tobacco planting and processing, coffee planting and sugar cane planting and sugar making, all showed an uproar. Especially in Northern Luzon, the long-term peaceful environment made almost everyone forget the war. Luman and Mu Haoran even boasted that as long as they were given another five years, they could catch up with any of the Central Plains, and give them ten years, so that they could surpass the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River!
The new four prefectures outside the six prefectures in Northwest County finally calmed down and gradually became formal. The economy began to recover in full. The good foundation was their greatest advantage. Lulong's mining and iron smelting industry, Longdong's paint and cotton textile industry, Xikang's animal husbandry, Tianshui's cotton planting and cotton textile industry, all rejuvenated. Although it is not comparable to the old Northwest and Northern Luzon, it is already a paradise compared to the turbulent empire north and the panicked Wuhu area.
The surrender of Luobei and the Tubu people and the return of the Sithro people in a mess, all of which made the people intoxicated by the powerful prosperity of the northwest again. However, everything related to military behind this was running quietly, and the huge military institutions were operating day and night, making final preparations for the greater storm that was about to come.
"What's going on?" After just meeting with the special envoy from Bai Yinren, Wufeng was still recalling the request made by the special envoy from Bai Yinren, but Ling Hu Yi and Ling Tian, who were asked to meet urgently, were stuck in the living room. Seeing that the two of them had nothing special, but things were so urgent, Wufeng really couldn't think of anything going to happen. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of the Imperial Capital had something to do? Thinking of Wufeng's mood was a bit mixed.
"Sir, the Chidi people broke through the defense line of Luobei people. With the cooperation of the Ano people, Chaqin defeated the Luobei Guards on the northern line. It is said that they annihilated more than 200,000 Luobei Guards and are now advancing towards Luobei's heart. The Luobei Tuda tribe on the southern line has withdrawn to Luobei's territory. Vadya has announced that the entire Luobei tribe is mobilized and is ready to fight the Chidi people to the death." Linghu Yi said concisely.
