Chapter 221 The Qing court seeks peace (4)

At this time, Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang did not expect that the battle commanded by the two would cause such a big chain reaction, and they were still thinking about dealing with the post-war affairs.

The first of all, of course, was to eliminate the last power of the Qing court in Mongolia. Chen Jingang led an army to attack Ulya Sutai City. The battle went very smoothly. The People's Army rushed to Ulya Sutai City. The Qing army could not resist at all and was defeated by the People's Army. General Kunxiu, Ulya Sutai, and the Minister of Counselor of Ulya Sutai Rongen abandoned the city and fled. The People's Army had little effort to capture Ulya Sutai City.

Then Chen Jingang left behind an army battalion, a cavalry company, a tank company, and a motor company, guarding Ulya Sutai City, and leading other troops back to Kulun.

At this moment, the Kulun administrative staff sent by the East China ** also arrived in Kulun with a new batch of transportation convoys.

The administrative person in charge of Kulun was Gong Jianyang. He was the mayor of Yantai City. He had been in this position for almost three years. In the current East China **, those who can serve in cities and counties below the municipal level for two years have been considered to have been considered to have been in office for a long time. Because the expansion of East China ** in recent years was too fast. First, he won the Far East War and obtained a large area of ​​land in the Amur River and Ussuri River basins. Then he expanded along the north bank of the Yangtze River and occupied the north of Jiangsu and Anhui. Therefore, a large number of local administrative vacant positions appeared. Many county-level and prefecture-level administrative officials were promoted immediately after only one year of office. This was still the East China ** regulations that the time for taking office in the local area must be over one year, otherwise the transfer or promotion is not allowed. The vacant positions would rather wait for people empty first, otherwise the time for the resignation should be faster.

Speaking of which, Gong Jianyang has been relatively unlucky in recent years. He was promoted to the position of deputy mayor of Yantai at the end of 1905. This was the time of the Far East War. A year later, the Far East War was basically over, and the extra positions were occupied by others. In the East China ** expanding along the north bank of the Yangtze River, Gong Jianyang recovered for more than three months due to a fracture, perfectly missed this period and became one of the longest-serving officers in the city-level administrative leaders of East China **.

This time, the East China ** launched the Mongolian Battle and publicly recruited all municipal mayors who were qualified to serve as the administrative director of Kulun early on. However, everyone else was afraid that the environment in the Mongolian region was difficult and very dangerous. Moreover, the East China ** was about to launch a war to attack the Qing court, and there were opportunities for promotion, so there was no need to take this risk.

However, Gong Jianyang believes that even if East China ** conquered Beijing, he would not have a great chance, because he is now the municipal administrative head, and the next step is to enter the provincial or provincial capital and municipal administrative agency, and Beijing is the important location of Beijing. At these two levels, East China ** will definitely send capable generals to serve as officials. The weight of being the person in charge is not enough. At most, he will enter the provincial or provincial capital and municipal administrative group, but there is basically no possibility of being the one on his own. If he wants to stand out, he must wait for the appropriate opportunity. After all, there are countless people watching the person in charge at the provincial or provincial capital and municipal level, and the competition will be extremely fierce.

The administrative head of Kulun is the standard leader. Although the jurisdiction is not large now, it will manage the entire Outer Mongolia region in the future. Moreover, Outer Mongolia belongs to the border area and the working environment is very complex. Whether in the old time and space or in this era, the administrative heads of such border areas are very important to the center. Although it is not as conspicuous as the officials in the southeast coastal areas, it is easy to achieve political achievements and accumulate qualifications. Therefore, although the conditions in Mongolia are indeed a little difficult, this qualification is very important.

In the recruitment conditions, East China ** also promised that it would not be transferred for at least three years after taking office. As long as there is no big mistake, it will be the administrative page leader of the entire Outer Mongolia region in the future. This actually reserves the position of a provincial head. In the local administrative system of East China **, provincial or provincial capital city heads are generally considered to be the demarcation level of local elders. Promoting to this point means that there is a great opportunity to serve as an important central department in the future. What is it to enter the Executive Yuan and become one of the nine elders. Better luck, and you may even be able to squeeze into the ranks of the five giants.

If this step is not achieved, it means that the career of the officialdom has basically reached the ceiling. Even if you enter the center in the future, you will only serve as the responsible person in some unimportant central departments, and it is almost impossible to enter the Executive Yuan. However, there are only more than 30 provinces in China, and even if there are provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government, there will not exceed 70. Moreover, East China ** still only occupies 10 provinces, so it can be said that this opportunity is very rare.

So Gong Jianyang decisively applied to the Executive Yuan, willing to serve as the Executive Director of Kulun and become one of the three candidates. After all, not all municipal leaders are afraid of hardship and dangers, and there are always people who hope to achieve success. After review and evaluation by the Executive Yuan, Gong Jianyang was finally determined. Among them, his experience of working in Yantai City for two and a half years was the biggest bargaining chip, because in the East China **, there were not many officials who had worked in one place for such a long time and accumulated local experience.

Then Gong Jianyang went to Jingdao to participate in a three-month pre-job training, not only understanding the situation in Mongolia, but also conducting necessary physical training, etc., and then taking office in Kulun.

The convoy that arrived at Kulun with Gong Jianyang this time had a total of 129 vehicles, including 120 trucks. The army escorted had no tanks, only one motorcycle company. In addition, a warrior car and an IVIC bus were arranged for the veterans. Some trucks were equipped with machine guns and 4 50mm rapid-fire cannons. The army escorted also included an army company and a cavalry company.

This is because considering that the Mongolian army has been almost wiped out by the People's Army, the convoy is basically unlikely to encounter a large-scale military threat on the way. Even if there are small groups of bandits and horse thieves, the number of people is only about a few hundred, and the escorted troops and firepower is enough to deal with it. Moreover, except for the Motor Machinery Company, the rest of the troops escorted this time are the troops stationed in Kulun in the future.

The troops stationed in Kulun have also caused controversy in the Military Commission. Some people believe that Kulun is a border area with a very broad area and has a long border with Russia. If they go to war with Russia in the future, they can attack from Kulun and attack Russia's flanks. Therefore, their strategic value is great. One army should be stationed and a branch military region should be established.

But another opinion believes that in the next 2 or 3 years, the main target of East China ** is not the Mongolian region, but the Qing court. It is only diplomatic tough with Russia. It is not necessary to start a war or not. Therefore, it is enough to only maintain the necessary military force and power in Kulun. At present, the East China ** is not large in the Mongolian-controlled area. If there is no large-scale expansion, it will not require too many troops. Moreover, Kulun is far away and has inconvenient transportation. Even if it is truck transportation, it is not cost or efficiency. Therefore, it is not easy for Kulun to station too many troops now.

So after negotiation, the Executive Yuan finally decided that the troops stationed in Coulon would be 1 Army brigade and 1 Cavalry brigade, plus an armored motor vehicle battalion, including a tank battalion, a motor vehicle battalion, and a land aviation flight squadron.

Compared with the division, the brigade not only has one combat regiment, but also has reduced a large number of artillery troops and logistics personnel. There are no heavy weapons and can be lightly installed. It is suitable for the current garrison in Kulun. In addition, the Kulun area is more suitable for cavalry combat, so cavalry accounts for half. The armored motor vehicle battalion is for use in emergency response. On the one hand, it is deterred by the Mongolian Banner Alliance tribes, because in the Mongolian Battle, the armored motor vehicle troops played an important role and brought huge shock pressure to the Mongolian Banner Alliance tribes. Now, many legends about armored motor vehicle troops have been circulated in various Mongolian divisions. As long as there are armored motor vehicle troops, the Mongolian Banner Alliance tribes dare not easily turn against the East China **.

On the other hand, it is also to guard against the Russian army. Although the East China ** does not want to go to war with the Russian army, whether to fight or not is a matter for both sides. It is impossible to prevent the outbreak of the war by only one side avoiding war. Moreover, the East China ***’s diplomatic strategy against Russia is to use the strong against the strong and to fight head-on. This countermeasure can certainly avoid being blackmailed by Russia in diplomacy, but it also increases the risk of war. On the Sino-Russian border, there may be too many ignition points for war. Therefore, if one day the two sides are tough against tough against tough, but are unwilling to give in, it is not impossible to break out again. Leaving an armored force is to prevent the Russian army from advancing from Mongolia when the war between China and Russia begins in the future. With armored forces, even if the Russian army comes, it is enough to withstand a while.

The Flight Squadron of the Army is a newly established branch of the People's Army. Although it is now a famous aviation force belonging to the Army, it is actually the predecessor of the People's Army Air Force in the future.

During the Far East War, East China dispatched aircraft to participate in the war, mainly responsible for air reconnaissance missions. As a supplement to unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, it also played a relatively important role in the war. However, the aircraft deployed in the Far East War were aircraft made of Hyundai's engines and had considerable experimental properties. Moreover, using Hyundai's engines as power for aircraft is not a long-term solution after all, so East China has been developing aircraft special engines.
