Red Alert 1895

After announcing the two important candidates for the two vice-chairmen and the general staff, Zheng Hong immediately asked a question that surprised everyone. ￠￡￠￡,

"Husband, what is the department of the Ministry of War? What are its functions and powers? Why is it able to enter the Military Commission and rank first?" Zheng Hong asked.

Wang Guorui immediately explained: "The Ministry of War is set up according to the situation in foreign countries. The Ministry of War in foreign countries is responsible for the management of the military forces of the whole country. , so naturally the situation will not be exactly the same. The authority of our Ministry of War is to be responsible for military diplomacy. In the future, military attaches stationed abroad and exchanges of various armed forces will also be managed by the Ministry of War. And the Ministry of War will also be responsible for Military cooperation, sales of various military equipment and materials, research, etc. In principle, the Ministry of War is responsible for the management of military diplomacy, as well as the direct leadership of the two departments of the logistics department and the equipment department. It is also responsible for publicizing my military affairs Power positive image, and then manage various military academies. In the future, all our military academies except the most advanced Royal Supreme War Military Academy will also be managed by the Ministry of War, and other business departments only have the power to guide business , no direct management power! And this Ministry of War belongs to the dual leadership of the future cabinet and the Military Commission.”

This Ministry of War is actually the Ministry of National Defense of the countries of later generations, but this era is not called the Ministry of Defense, and all major countries in this era are also called the Ministry of War. For example, the U.S. Department of War, Germany also has a Department of War, and all major countries call the department responsible for their military armament the Department of War. And this is to show more red fruit that he set up a department for the war. As for the Ministry of National Defense, it was later named the Ministry of National Defense in order to ease the emotions of the domestic people after the outbreak of the war. In the current era, European countries are also keen to expand. Keen to expand their colonies and interests, they naturally wouldn't name it the Ministry of Defense. The word Ministry of National Defense is biased towards defense, but the Ministry of War obviously gives people the feeling of fighting abroad, so it is so red. Only when the common people are tired of war and the world situation tends to be peaceful will it be renamed the Ministry of National Defense. This eases the atmosphere. But in fact, it's all about changing the soup without changing the medicine. And Wang Guorui doesn't want to name it as the Ministry of National Defense at this time. Isn't that crazy? Wang Guorui just wanted to mobilize the ambitions of the whole country to expand abroad. How could he have such a defensive name? Isn't this actively weakening the morale of your own army? Although there may not be much weakening, it is better not to do this kind of thing. The current world trend in this era is to go to war, so why should I be in my head?

However, Zheng Hong's expression became a little helpless again, and Wang Guorui directly deprived her of some power again. Originally, military diplomacy and the management of various military academies were also in the charge of the General Political Department, but now the management power of military academies has been transferred to the Ministry of War. And in the future, powers such as army recruitment, national defense policy, military diplomacy, etc. will also be swallowed up by the Ministry of War. Moreover, Wang Guorui also handed over military equipment and logistics affairs to the Ministry of War for management, which meant that the Ministry of War would become the most powerful official after the two vice chairmen. And it can be seen from his ranking that the Ministry of War is the number one person after the two vice chairmen, which is enough to show his power.

If we use another division to describe it, one vice chairman is in charge of military orders, one vice chairman is in charge of military administration, and the Ministry of War is also in charge of logistics.

Wang Guorui's design for the Ministry of War was actually formulated according to the situation of the Chinese Ministry of Defense in later generations. Many people in later generations may think that the Ministry of Defense has no power. But in fact the Ministry of National Defense has power, even the Chinese Ministry of National Defense in the 21st century has a lot of power. If you divide the various departments of the Military Commission of later generations. The General Staff, General Political Department, General Assembly, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, and other departments are all treated as cakes. The two vice-chairmen and the Minister of Defense are also the ones to share the cake. In later generations, the Minister of National Defense can be qualified to discuss with the two vice-chairmen who is in charge of which department, which means that the two vice-chairmen and the Minister of Defense are the ones who share the cake, while the other departments are all cakes waiting to be divided. So, in this case, can you say that the Secretary of Defense has no real power?

But generally speaking, the Ministry of National Defense is mainly in charge of the final assembly. At present, in order to strengthen the power of the Ministry of War, Wang Guorui also assigned the General Logistics and General Assembly to it. In the future, except for the so-called "Area 51" Red Police Base, which will be directly managed by Wang Guorui, everything else will be gradually handed over to this assembly.

"Minister of War, I plan to let Chen Liyan take over!" Wang Guorui said.

"Sure enough!" Everyone thought together in their hearts.

The real power of the Ministry of War is so great that it seems to be the first person after the two vice-chairmen, and even qualified to challenge the two vice-chairmen! Those with less seniority and reputation. Naturally, he is not qualified to serve. And the one with this prestige now is Chen Liyan who was the first to regain the country. Now in the army, Chen Liyan's reputation and prestige have greatly increased. Just the name of successfully regaining the country is enough for him to benefit endlessly. Since the Qing Dynasty, China has only lost its land, but has not regained it. Therefore, the reputation gained by the first to recover the country is absolutely incomparable. So it was precisely because of this reputation that Chen Liyan had the capital to establish himself. So besides him, who else can take this position?

"Chen Liyan was transferred to the Ministry of War? If so, then the army still has an absolute advantage! It seems that there must be a certain balance, otherwise the army will definitely be very strong in the future." Wang Guorui thought.

Wang Guorui went on to say: "The next candidate for the final assembly and logistics department, I think people from the navy can be in charge! Let the navy draw up a list and send it in!"

Wang Guorui hopes to uphold the balance of the land and navy and strengthen the strength of the navy appropriately, otherwise it will definitely not be conducive to the development of the navy in the future. At present, whether it is Chen Liyan, Zheng Hong, Chen Liyan, or Li Fusheng from the General Political Department, they are all from the army. But it must be balanced and the strength of the navy must be strengthened, otherwise there will definitely be problems in the future. In the future, Wang Guorui's global strategy cannot be without the navy as an important support. If there is no navy, then overseas interests will not be able to be maintained. Especially when Wang Guorui occupied Nanyang, there must be a navy to protect it, otherwise Nanyang will be lost. Why did the British lose their colonies after World War II? Isn't it because after the two wars, their economic strength was severely damaged, and after the economic strength was damaged, they could not maintain a strong navy? The navy is a gold-swallowing beast. Without money and people, you can't build a navy.

And if you want to maintain a strong navy, you must have enough military spending. And there have always been land-sea disputes within the army, and that country has land-sea disputes. The British valued the navy, the French valued the army, and the Germans valued the army at first, and then the navy. The Japanese are quarreling between land and sea, and they are the country with the greatest conflict between land and sea. Of course, this is also related to Japan's ambitions, so there are great conflicts between land and sea.

Therefore, in any major country in the world, there must be conflicts between the army and the navy, especially in terms of military expenditure. Although Wang Guorui wanted to support the navy, Wang Guorui's words alone were not enough. The key was that they had enough influence in the Military Commission. So it is not surprising that the general logistics and general assembly were given to them. As for the general staff, the navy will be in charge within the next five years, and Li Yuanhong, the commander of the marine corps, is also half of the navy. There are also four people in the Military Commission. As for Hu Wei, Zheng Hong, Chen Liyan and Li Fusheng, who were from the army, there must be a balance. This will help the navy to a certain extent in fighting for its rights and interests, so this is just a balancing act. In the future, the formation of the Air Force will definitely break this balance again.

"Then how do we decide on the candidate for the Chief of Staff of the Navy? Qiu Baoren, Chief of Staff of the Navy, will be transferred to be the Chief of Staff~www.readwn.com~ Naturally, the Chief of Staff of the Navy cannot let him continue to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Navy, so who will be the Chief of Staff of the Navy ?” Zheng Hong asked.

Wang Guorui thought for a while and said, "As for the chief of staff of the navy, I have two candidates to consider. I haven't decided who should be in charge of this aspect either. One of these two people is Li He, and the other is Li He. Sa Zhenbing. Li He originally had a higher status in the navy than Sa Zhenbing, and Li He had a higher status in the Beiyang Navy, so if Li He is allowed to manage the navy, it will be easier to be more convincing in the high-level navy And Sa Zhenbing really started to improve rapidly after joining us recently, so Sa Zhenbing's qualifications are a bit worse than Li He's. If they are just fleet commanders, there is no problem, but now they are going to choose naval staff officers As the de facto person in charge of the navy, that is, the real leader of the navy, there is a big difference. At present, Sa Zhenbing is mainly good at amphibious landing operations, and there is also a need for such a person with experience in amphibious landing operations in Nanyang The general is in command. That's why I'm also hesitant! Do you have any good suggestions?"

And Zheng Hong replied: "In this case, I still think Li He is better!"

"Tell me what you think!" Wang Guorui said. (to be continued.) u
