Beiyang reactionaries

Because the current air force level is too low.But Qin Guoyong was very excited, because he was able to come to this meeting, it is obvious that Duan Xun is paying more and more attention to the aviation team.

So he immediately said: "Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, it has been nearly 20 years since the aircraft appeared. During the European War, the aircraft started from the initial reconnaissance, and later evolved into bombers and fighter jets. After the European War, it began to develop into transport aircraft and reconnaissance. aircraft and so on. With the development of aircraft, the way war is fought also began to change.”

"Just like the Gengshen War (the second direct-anhui war in 1920), our aviation team cooperated with the army to bomb the third division and achieved amazing results. In future wars, the aviation team will serve as an important force and continue to cooperate Army units. Bombing the enemy's logistics forces, bombing the enemy's front-line positions will have a huge effect."

"Besides, the aircraft carrier that President Sa (Sa Zhenbing) mentioned is also a new type of weapon. In the future, the air force will also participate in naval battles with the aircraft carrier and help the navy to bomb the enemy's warships. So I think unified command and unified rectification , Unified development is very important.”

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Then he said to everyone: "What do you think? The Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy will be abolished, and a military department will be unified. From now on, the Department of the Army will be in charge of all the troops such as the Army, Navy, and Air Force."

"Prime Minister, the establishment of the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy was originally a stopgap measure."

Yang Yongtai reacted the fastest.

Immediately said: "The situation at that time was that after the Revolution of [-], some naval units responded to the Southern Revolutionary Party. In order to appease them, they created a special army department and a navy department. With the current national government and military orders, the army The Department of the Navy and the Department of the Navy are a matter of course."

The navy has always been relatively free.

Whoever has money and who can pay the navy enough, they will listen to whoever they say.The previous Beijing governments have underestimated the navy, because the navy has no ability to influence domestic politics.The Navy will never get the top of the line.

But again, everyone wants to have a navy.Therefore, although the Ministry of the Navy is not shit in the cabinet, it has been retained.

"Prime Minister, I also think so. The military expenditure of the Ministry of Finance has to be considered separately by the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy every year. It is a burden for the Ministry of Finance. From now on, the Ministry of Finance will only have one issue of military expenditure. The Ministry of Military Affairs is responsible for itself."

Wang Yongjiang also expressed his views.

Duan Xun nodded.

Looking at the others again, Dai Kan didn't speak, but nodded.As for Dong Kang and Yu Youren, one is the chief minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the other is a cabinet member in charge of transportation, railways, and postal services.

Since it was not a matter of their own department, the two of them did not express their views.

If everyone agrees, they agree with it.If everyone opposes it, they will follow suit.Now several people agree, and the two of them also nodded.

"Okay, then this proposal is passed. Secretary-General Liang, submit this proposal to the Provisional Senate for a vote."

"Yes."

367 Military Department 2

"Sit all."

The cabinet decided to establish a military ministry, but after submitting it to the provisional Senate, there was no result.Although the current provisional Senate is basically formed according to Duan Xun's ideas, and Yang Wei, as the chairman of the provisional Senate, will not embarrass the cabinet.There is basically no problem with the proposal passing the cabinet.

But it does not mean that if you submit today, you will pass tomorrow.

After all, everything has a program.

Even if the Provisional Senate is just a temporary body that replaces Congress, it is still the highest legislative body with its own set of procedures.For such a proposal to be passed, it takes at least four or five days, or even one week to ten days, from submission to approval.

However, although the provisional Senate has not yet passed it, Duan Xun has already begun preparations for the establishment of a military department.A meeting of the senior generals of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Air Force was called.

Li Jishen, Deputy Minister of the Army Department, Xiong Kewu, Director of the Military Affairs Department of the Army Department, Xu Yongchang, Chief of the General Staff of the Army Department, Yang Jie, Secretary-General of the Army Department, Han Linchun, Minister of the Armament Department of the Army Department, Jing Wumu, Chief Inspector of the Military Disciplinary Department of the Army Department, and the Logistics Department of the Army Department Minister Han Jianduo, Minister of the Mobilization Department of the Army Ministry Luo Peijin, and Minister of Academic Affairs Chen Yi.

As well as the senior generals of the army, Fang Dingying, Commander of the First Army, Wan Xuancai, Commander of the Second Army, Liu Xiang, Commander of the Third Army, and Shang Zhen, Commander of the Fourth Army, were all present.

Many senior generals also came to Beijing for meetings.

The same goes for the Admiralty.

A large number of generals sat below.

Admiral Sa Zhenbing, Chief of the Navy Department, Admiral Cheng Biguang, Vice Minister of the Navy Department, Admiral Du Xigui, Chief Admiral of the Navy Department, Lieutenant General Tang Tingguang, Chief Counselor of the Navy Department, Lieutenant General Yu Jitang, Commander-in-Chief of the Inner Sea Fleet of the Ministry of the Navy, and Chief of the First Fleet of the Navy Lieutenant General Lin Baoyi, Commander, Lieutenant General Yang Shuzhuang, Commander-in-Chief of the Second Fleet of the Navy, Lieutenant General Shen Honglie, Commander of the Third Fleet of the Navy, Lieutenant General Zeng Zhaoqin, Commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, and Major General Chen Ce, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy's training.

As an independent branch of the aviation force, many people also participated in the meeting.

Including Lieutenant General Qin Guoyong, Director of the Aviation Department, Major General Yang Xianyi, Commander of the Air Force, Major General Bayuzao, Director of Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and Major General Wang Zhu, Principal of Wuchang Aviation School.

The time is right now.

Because Duan Xun just solved Lu Yongxiang and Yan Xishan, and won Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shanghai and Shanxi.Things are pretty stable for now.Although Yan Huiqing made a big move in Shanghai, it was only in one place.

On the whole, there are no major problems in China at present, let alone wars.

That's why so many military generals were called to Beijing for a meeting.

Just in time.

"Everyone should know the purpose of my meeting today. The development of weapons has brought about changes in tactics. This is an eternal truth. In the European War that took place a few years ago, new weapons frequently appeared on the battlefield. Aircraft From the beginning of the scouting of opponents, it later developed into fighter jets, bombers, and now there are more transport planes and reconnaissance planes. And among the army, various heavy artillery began to appear, as well as British tanks, all of which we did not think about before. New weapons. The emergence of this new weapon is changing the traditional mode of warfare. When we fought against Wu Peifu's third division, the air force's attack was the use of this new weapon, a change in tactics. And The aircraft carrier developed by various countries is also a genius idea. The use of aircraft in naval warfare is likely to change the future development direction of the navy. It can be seen that the future war must be a war in which the sea, land and air forces are closely coordinated. For future wars To make preparations, the army, navy, and air force should be under unified command, and they should cooperate with training to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. This is an inevitable thing. That's why the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Aviation Department proposed to establish a unified command of the national sea, land, and air forces. The Military Department of the Armed Forces."

The people below are very calm.

Because before the meeting, everyone knew that the Ministry of Military Affairs would be established.What everyone is concerned about is how to arrange their powers when the Ministry of Military Affairs is established this time.But on the whole, the Ministry of the Navy and the Air Force basically have no say.

Although the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Navy belong to the cabinet departments, on the surface they are equal departments, but in fact the status and power of the two departments are completely different.Those who can serve as the chief of the Ministry of the Army and the top officials of the Ministry of the Army are all big figures who are in charge of the country.He is a truly powerful figure in the country.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, the chief of the Ministry of Army has been able to hold the position only if he can influence the situation in China.Or it is such a big boss spokesperson who has the opportunity to serve as the chief of the army.

Therefore, let alone the chief minister of the cabinet, even the prime minister of the cabinet cannot ignore the opinions of the top officials of the Ministry of War.Because the top executives of the Ministry of War are truly powerful leaders.

But what is the Department of the Navy.

In the cabinet, it is completely dispensable and has no right to speak.The chief of the navy is the most aggrieved position.Since the founding of the Republic of China, the navy has been short of military expenditures, not even the salaries of the navy soldiers.

As a result, the naval forces below can only be smuggled, or used as cargo ships to earn military expenses by themselves.Under such circumstances, how could these naval forces be convinced by the Chief of the Navy.It should be said that he is all complaining.

A chief who cannot fight for the interests of the troops below is nothing at all.

So the Chief of the Admiralty is a complete display.

I was complained by the naval forces below every day.Those naval units "defected" at every turn, and they followed whichever force they paid.Therefore, the Ministry of the Navy is despised again in the cabinet.This time the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, although it sounds nice, will be fought by the three armies of the sea, land and air forces.

But compared to the strength of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy has no say.

Not to mention the aviation team.

He is not even a cabinet department at present, and his rank is very low, not as good as the Ministry of the Navy.As the director of the aviation department, Qin Guoyong's current military rank is only lieutenant general.Therefore, the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of the Navy and the Air Force together do not have the right to speak for the Ministry of the Army.

Therefore, the Ministry of the Navy and the Air Force are very worried, worrying whether the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs will swallow the Ministry of the Navy and the Air Force by the Ministry of the Army.In order to cancel the independence of the two.

"Minister Xiong, please read the various departments of the Military Department and the personnel composition of each department."

"Yes."

Xiong Kewu stood up immediately.
