"Everyone, the New Year has passed. You should know that the central government is going to reorganize the National Defense Forces, right? In order to cooperate with the upcoming reorganization of the Central National Defense Forces, as the commander of the Eighth Division, Zhao invites everyone to come over for discussion." The Eighth Division Headquarters
, Zhao Hengti saw everyone arrived, cleared his throat and said.
"Master, it seems that the specific method for this reorganization has not been finalized yet?" Huang Kaiyuan frowned slightly and said first: "We all support the reorganization of the Central Defense Forces, but it seems too early to discuss this matter now. It is better to wait for the central government to officially
It won’t be too late to discuss it after the order is issued.”
Wang Xiaozhen nodded aside, and felt that it was too early to discuss the matter now. After all, the reorganization of the National Defense Force was just news, and the official order from above had not yet been received. How exactly would it be reorganized? What would happen to the various units and officers at all levels after the reorganization?
As for the arrangement, there are no specific measures yet. As a senior officer of the 8th Division, what he should do now is to appease the people below and make preparations, rather than discussing how to carry out reorganization.
But Zhao Hengti had other plans in mind and immediately said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The reorganization of the National Defense Force is a national matter. Our 8th Division is the first batch of troops to be reorganized. To put it bluntly, the whole country is looking at us.
.In this case, as the commander of the 8th Division, I will convene everyone to discuss a preliminary plan on how to reorganize, or wait for the official order to speed up the reorganization, so as to complete the task as soon as possible!"
Speaking of which, the meaning of Zhao Hengti's words is correct. After all, Zhao Hengti is a teacher. He made such suggestions based on his duties as a teacher. Neither Huang Kaiyuan nor Wang Xiaozhen can directly object.
Seeing that the two deputy commanders and brigade commanders of the Eighth Division who were second only to him had no objections, Zhao Hengti felt very proud. He raised his hand slightly, and the adjutant behind him came up with a plan that had been prepared long ago, and sent it to Huang Kaiyuan and others one by one.
in human hands.
Looking carefully at Zhao Hengti's reorganization plan, Huang Kaiyuan was the first to frown. On the surface, this plan was high-sounding, but in fact it was under the banner of reorganizing the National Defense Forces to clean up the Eighth Division. Zhao Hengti listed one in the plan.
Mobilize the list and adjust a large number of middle and lower-level officers in each regiment and battalion. In particular, the Tao Deyao 31st Regiment stationed in Shanghai has even proposed a proposal to merge with the Jiangsu and Shanghai Army Corps and form a new mixed brigade. In addition, the temporary establishment must be abolished.
If the 33rd Regiment is carried out according to this reorganization plan, by then Zhao Hengti will have complete control over all units of the 8th Division and become the unrivaled division commander.
"I am opposed to this plan!" Huang Kaiyuan raised doubts: "I won't say whether such a big adjustment of middle and lower-level officers is necessary. It is not appropriate to just disband the 33rd Regiment temporarily, and the merger of the 31st Regiment and the Shanghai Army is probably too much.
Is it over? Although the Jiangsu Governor's Office and our 8th Division have a superior-subordinate relationship, the Shanghai Army Corps and the 8th Division are two systems. The merger of the two armies must be approved by the superiors. I'm afraid what Commander Zhao did is against the rules, right?"
The temporary commander of the 33rd Regiment present, Li Shimao, looked even more ugly. In the Battle of Nanjing, his regiment was almost wiped out. Although many recruits were added after the war, due to Fang Zida's sudden resignation, Zhao Hengti, as the division commander, subsequently
On the grounds that the overall ordnance loss of the Eighth Division after the war was too large, it has not been replenished with guns and ammunition. So far, his temporary 33rd regiment is extremely short of weapons and equipment, and more than half of the new recruits in the entire regiment are using post-war maintenance.
The number of broken guns was reduced, and the combat effectiveness of the temporary 33rd regiment suddenly dropped from the first place in the division to the bottom.
For this matter, Li Shimao went to the division headquarters to argue with Zhao Hengti. He worked hard and shed blood and sacrificed his life. In the end, he ended up like this. He could not get rid of the bad breath in his chest. Zhao Hengti was really a bully! But as a freshman in Guan Da, he ended up like this.
The level was overwhelming, and besides, there was still several levels between him and Zhao Hengti. His arms couldn't twist his thighs. The high-spirited Captain Li now turned into a grandma who doesn't love his uncle and doesn't kiss him. This time, the plan proposed by Zhao Hengti even included
There is a proposal to cancel the temporary establishment of the 33rd regiment, which is obviously to ask him to get out, which is simply too much bullying.
Although Li Jun and He Sui did not react as much as Li Shimao, their faces were not very good-looking either. Although Zhao Hengti did not touch their foundation for the time being, it was clear that after taking care of Li Shimao, he would be the next unlucky one. Moreover, Zhao Hengti had another problem.
On the grounds of adjustment, after Li Shimao's temporary 33rd regiment was abolished, all the personnel would be dispersed and re-added to their regiments, and the division headquarters would arrange the positions of these new companies and platoon leaders. Anyone who understands would know at a glance that Zhao Hengti was there.
There is a nail in their army. Li Jun and He Sui are not fools. How can you not see it?
After coughing a few times, Wang Xiaozhen felt that Zhao Hengti was going too far and suggested that it would be better to leave the matter undecided for the time being and wait for orders from above.
"It doesn't matter..." Zhao Hengti smiled: "Reorganization is a big thing, and our Eighth Division must be at the front. I think this kind of adjustment is very necessary. As for the situation mentioned by Deputy Commander Huang, I don't think it is.
There is such a problem. Yes, our Eighth Division and the Shanghai Army Corps of the Jiangsu Governor's Office have different systems, but the merger of the Shanghai Army Corps has been approved by Governor Cheng. As our Eighth Division stationed in Jiangsu and Shanghai, there is nothing wrong with doing so.
If it's appropriate, I think I won't object even if I report to the Army Department."
Although Zhao Hengti's words are a bit unreasonable, they are not unreasonable. As the Eighth Division of the non-Beiyang system, the Army Department does not have the right to direct command, and the Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan is even more of a fool. He has always been good at playing both sides and adapting to the situation. In addition,
As for their friendship with President Yuan Da when they were officials in the same court during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if Zhao Hengti and Cheng Dequan had negotiated privately and made the initiative, Yuan Shikai would not be too disgraced to Cheng Dequan.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhao Hengti wanted to create a fait accompli before the reorganization of the National Defense Forces and fully control the power of the Eighth Division. In addition, Zhao Hengti had also learned about the rumors that the central government was preparing to separate military and political power. In order to divide Jiangsu's military and political power with Cheng Dequan, the two
They had secretly conspired many times and decided to cooperate with each other. Cheng Dequan merged the Shanghai Army into the Eighth Division to support Zhao Hengti in seizing military power. Zhao Hengti supported Cheng Dequan with military power to ensure that Cheng Dequan's status in Jiangsu remained unchanged.
"I don't care about the others. You can't dismantle my regiment!" Li Shimao was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed: "I and my brothers killed mountains of blood and corpses under Nanjing City, fighting to the death to defend the enemy. You, Zhao Yiwu,
It means that you have no conscience to replenish me with firearms, but now you actually want to dismantle my temporary 33rd regiment? Aren't you afraid that the brothers in the 8th Division will be disappointed?"
"Captain Li, what are you talking about!" Zhao Hengti's face turned cold: "The reorganization of the National Defense Force is a major matter for the central government, and this is the overall situation! As the troops of the Eighth Division, we must obey! Don't you want to disobey the orders of your superiors?"
"Superior, haha, it's a joke!" Li Shimao sneered: "Where is the official order from the central government? Take it out for me to see? I'm afraid it's not there? What kind of abacus did Zhao Yiwu have that everyone knows about? Bah!"
"That's right, Mr. Zhao, if there is an official order from the central government, we will immediately cooperate. But this is just a plan you proposed. Isn't it inappropriate to do so?" Now that Li Shimao has taken the lead, Huang Kaiyuan and others are not just sitting idly by.
You raised objections to every word I said.
"I don't think so. The central government has the central government's plan, and our eighth division must also have its own arrangements. I think Commander Zhao's arrangements are quite appropriate. After merging with the Shanghai Army, our eighth division will be even more powerful.
It will be more powerful, so it will be more beneficial to the Eighth Division when it is officially reorganized." Tao Deyao, as Zhao Hengti's confidant, naturally wanted to support it and immediately expressed his agreement.
"Of course you don't object. From regiment commander to brigade commander, your regiment commander Tao is Gao Sheng. How can you object? By the way, I have to congratulate you, Tao... brigade commander!" Li Shimao sneered.
"You can't say that, Commander Li, the temporary 33rd regiment is a temporary establishment in our eighth division. As the name suggests, the temporary establishment is a temporary establishment. Since it is a temporary establishment, the 33rd regiment has not been officially designated in the eighth division.
"If the division commander does not make adjustments in advance, then the central reorganization order will not recognize the temporary establishment of the 33rd regiment. Where will you let the thousands of brothers in the 33rd regiment go? Are they all going to be sent home to farm?" Tao Deyao smiled slightly and said it was not a big deal.
Preach slowly.
Liu Jianfan nodded at the side and added: "Captain Tao's words are true. The commander did this because he considered the future of the brothers of the temporary 33rd regiment. In my opinion, the commander's consideration is still very thoughtful. Besides, regiment Li
The position of commander is still there. Commander Li is a tiger general of our division, and he contributed a lot in the Battle of Nanjing. When the central government officially orders it, Commander Li may be promoted to deputy brigade commander or even deputy division commander.
It’s possible.”
"Yes, yes!" The other battalion commanders nodded at the same time, Tao Deyao, Liu Jianfan and others vented their anger through one nostril. Li Shimao's face turned pale and his hands trembled with anger.
Huang Kaiyuan secretly complained that Wang Xiaozhen, the brigade commander, stood by and said nothing. Even if he did speak, it was only a few words that were indifferent. It was obvious that he did not want to cause trouble. Although Li Jun and He Sui were dissatisfied, they were better than others after all.
Li Shimao is much stronger. It may be possible to complain, but it may be difficult to oppose forcefully. Moreover, Zhao Hengti seems to be determined today. Huang Kaiyuan and Li Shimao alone cannot resist him at all.
Feeling anxious, Huang Kaiyuan was about to delay the matter for a while, but before he could speak, Zhao Hengti suddenly came in hurriedly and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Zhao Hengti stood up quickly and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, Governor Cheng is here, please follow me out to greet him."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. No one expected that Cheng Dequan would come running over at this time.
Chapter completed!
