"David, the purpose of the teacher's visit this time is very clear, which is to clarify the situation in Germany, including some key technologies and equipment data. These things are a bit of a blind eye to our diplomats, so you need to do a preliminary survey, and then when the domestic experts take their place, our country will get dividends from this war and promote its rise." Wang Chonghui said to Yu Dawei straight to the point.

Yu Dawei felt a little pressure and excitement. Now the fool knows that the Germans will definitely lose in this war. If China can obtain the urgently needed equipment and technology from Germany, it will definitely be of good use to its own development. Now that I have the opportunity to participate in such an important thing, it is a glory to think about it. The young Yu Dawei nodded hard to the teacher and then began to talk about the situation he had mastered.

1918 was destined to be an extraordinary year, and in this year, the world was peaceful.

First, after the October Revolution in Russia, the February Revolution in Germany broke out, so the war that lasted for four years in Europe ended. Secondly, in China, with the resolution of the Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang issues and the Fengtian tribulations to develop, China has finally ushered in a time without war since the Republic of China, but 1918 was destined to leave a strong mark in Chinese history. In March of this year, the ruling party of the National Socialist Party, which was the leader of the National Government, passed a resolution at the National Congress to fully open the party ban.

The first thing to be affected is the division of the Kuomintang Party itself. The Tongmenghui Group with Sun Yat-sen as the core first came out independently to form the Kuomintang. Following Zhang Taiyan's Restoration Group also came out independently to form the Democratic Party of China. After obtaining Wang Zhenyu's consent, Xiong Xiling and Liang Qichao once again hung up the sign of the Progressive Party of the Chinese National Party. In addition, Wang Longzhong served as the chairman of the Party, four parties emerged in Nanjing at once. In addition, there are 23 political parties of all sizes.

With the matchmaking and support of Wang Zhenyu, the four parties finally chose to rule together, which avoided great political turmoil. It is worth mentioning that Wang Jingwei, who fled in a hurry a few months ago, returned to Nanjing very boldly and served as vice chairman of the Kuomintang. Wang Zhenyu chose to turn a blind eye to this obvious provocative behavior for the sake of the overall situation.

He had more troubles to worry about, and the first thing he had to worry about was the problem of practicing internal strength. As a time traveler, Wang Zhenyu valued the army more than anyone in this era. He knew very well that the basis for him to become the number one real power person in this country was the youth army with great achievements under his command. If it weren't for his own army, Sun Wen and others would not have eaten themselves alive immediately. Therefore, Wang Zhenyu's current work focus is neither interfering in the Russian revolution nor taking benefits from Germany. These things can be handled by the people below. The most difficult thing in front of him is nothing else, the third round of military reforms that the youth army is about to launch.

Based on Wan Yaohuang's plan, Wang Zhenyu has made major changes, and the reform level has been upgraded from simply expanding the field army to adapting the entire military system.

Currently, the territories directly controlled by Wang Zhenyu include Hunan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hubei, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Xikang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and three special cities, Nanjing, Wuhan and Shanghai. In addition, the Wuzang Autonomous Region, the Northwest Autonomous Region (Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia) and the Simon Autonomous Region (East Mongolia, Simon, Northern Mongolia, South Mongolia and Kulun Special City). There are almost 31 provinces and cities, not counting field troops, but the garrison forces are terrifying numbers.

Therefore, the first step in Wang Zhenyu's reform was to put it on the security forces, and the first thing was to have a clear affiliation relationship.

On February 27, Lieutenant General Hao Bing, commander of the security forces, was ordered to meet Wang Zhenyu.

"Brother Hao, count on the days. The battle between the Jade Belt Sect was almost seven years old." Wang Zhenyu asked casually.

Hao Bing is no longer the crude person he used to be. Over the years, he has made up for his cultural knowledge, and people have become more particular about his words: "Yes, Grand Marshal, I have thought about it for a long time. I really didn't dare to think that there would be the current situation. This is because the Grand Marshal's leadership is good."

Although he knew it was a flattery, Wang Zhenyu still accepted it calmly and waved his hand and said, "Why are you good leaders? You guys don't rely on the help of you guys, you guys who were old men back then, now you need the support of your brothers who were the best in the country."

Hao Bing immediately stood up and shouted: "If there is anything, the commander will give him instructions. He will be willing to drive him through fire and water."

Wang Zhenyu laughed and said, "Oh, sit down, sit down first, go through fire and water. I don't want you brothers to take risks. The main reason is that I plan to reform the current security forces, which requires your brother's full support,."

"Master, can you understand this way? According to your idea, the affiliation of the Security Corps will become the dual leaders of the security system and the military regions of each province."

Wang Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is also the first step for me to cut down local troops. Now each provincial military region has almost one brigade. This is not the regiments under the subordinate military region. There are too many regiments. What the country needs is elite field troops. What to do to raise so many local garrisons that do not fight to scare the people. So my idea is that the provincial military region should retain it, but the focus of the work is reserve management and national armed mobilization. I will be equipped with the troops under their command according to the standard of not exceeding one brigade or two regiments in one province. In this way, there will be less than 90,000 people in fifteen provinces and three cities, but the strength is a bit thin, so it is special. When the troops are mobilized, the security forces stationed in various places must be mobilized. As for the security forces themselves, they must be reformed and can no longer be regarded as police riot troops. Instead, they should be upgraded to an internal force directly under the Military Commission like the military police. However, now you have also seen the new rural construction plan at the grassroots level. In the future, rural police will be set up in rural areas, so the scale of the security forces must be reduced by one third, and the scale of the detachment must be controlled to 1,000 people. Under the corps, eight garrison detachments and a mobile detachment will be equipped with a total number of less than 10,000 people. In this way, the scale of the security forces will be maintained at 180,000 people. No problem."

Hao Bing took a deep breath and cut off one-third of the troops in one go. This was a big deal, but he didn't dare to say there was any problem, so he could only nod in silence to say that there was no problem.

Wang Zhenyu seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled: "Don't be afraid of the officers and soldiers having trouble. We have a plan for their distribution. It's nothing more than taking off our military uniform and changing into police uniforms. It doesn't matter."

Hao Bing then said with confidence: "Then please rest assured, the general will definitely complete this reform within this year."

Wang Zhenyu knew that the Wuzang area was garrisoned by Liu Xiang's troops. Due to the British's acquiescence, Liu Xiang's troops will be reorganized into the Wuzang Border Defense Force this year. There is no division-level system and it will not be included in the field army. It is just six border defense brigades with about 30,000 people.

In the northwest, Gu Zhenglun's 60,000 military police are currently fulfilling the obligations and capacities of the security forces. Considering the complexity of the ethnic situation in this place, Wang Zhenyu did not intend to change anything.

Then the first step to reform is the organizational structure of the Military Commission itself. Since the amendment to the latest National Government Organization Law was passed at the National Congress, Wang Zhenyu finally no longer has to be a archway. The first decree he signed and took effect in 1918 was the "Active Duty Military Law". This law stipulates that any active-duty military personnel are not allowed to join any political faction. Xu Chongzhi's Minister of National Defense was directly taken back because he refused to withdraw from the Kuomintang and was sent to prepare. According to the latest reserve law, as long as Xu Chongzhi does not give up his military status and rank, he will receive reserve service allowances at 40% of the salary standard for active-duty soldiers. As for real power, I'm sorry, the expansion of the active-duty army is still too busy. A large number of demobilized officers and soldiers have arranged responsibilities for police and rural police, so there is no extra financial resources and equipment to support the construction of the reserve. Therefore, the current reserve has nothing except the huge virtual numbers of sixty divisions.

After taking back the Ministry of National Defense, the sea, land and air were all in hand, so it would be much easier to reform.
