Chapter 1337: Governing the Army with an Iron Fist
There is not only Zhang Liangji who has this idea.
More than a dozen deputy division commanders, regiment commanders, deputy regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and even Zhang Yuannan himself, all thought that they should be promoted to commander.
The reason is obvious. Zhong Yi alone can obviously not control more than 100,000 people in such a large army. He must need a group of capable generals to help him control the troops.
Then, Zhang Yuannan, a classmate of Zhong Yi and Luojia Mountain Officer Training Group and his third brother-in-law, has great advantages, because no matter what aspect of the ranking, Zhang Yuannan is the first choice.
The only flaw is that Zhang Yuannan's qualifications are still a little bit lighter.
However, with Zhong Yi here, such a flaw is not a problem at all.
Among the several regiment commanders around Zhang Yuannan, there were several regiment commanders of the former 62nd Division, such as Zhao Lan, the leader of the Independent Regiment, and Yuan Yachu, the leader of the 372nd Regiment.
The 62nd Division originally had six infantry regiments under its jurisdiction. It is said that this time the army was reorganized, it would be reduced to three. In other words, three of the six regiment commanders would be laid off, and the other divisions were almost the same. Now these regiment commanders and deputy regiment commanders are looking for relationships with each other and trying every means to protect their official hats.
Zhao Lan and Yuan Yachu had no way, so they could only follow Zhang Yuannan's way.
"Team Commander Zhang." Yuan Yachu said, "You must be promoted to commander this time, so you must take care of him."
Zhao Lan also smiled and said, "Yes, Commander Zhang, brothers have always admired your style. If you have any fault, just tell us to do it. We will do it for you, and we will do it for you."
"Haha, it's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about." Zhang Yuannan just smiled reservedly when he heard this.
Zhang Yuannan was still cautious because he had explored Zhong Yi's words during the family dinner last night, but Zhong Yi didn't say anything, and even Zhang Manyi didn't even show off.
Just as everyone was whispering, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the auditorium.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, more than a hundred senior officers in the auditorium were silent.
Then a figure flashed at the entrance of the auditorium, and Zhong Yi walked in with his head held high and his chest raised.
"Everyone stood up!" The guards standing on both sides of the auditorium shouted in unison, and more than a hundred senior officers stood up in unison.
Zhong Yi strode to the rostrum, pressed his hands down first, and waited for everyone to sit down before they followed him. Then he spread the folder in his hand and said loudly: "First announce an order from the commander-in-chief, and some of the military chief officers of the 10th Army will be drawn to the generals and school class of the Army University for further study."
Hearing this, the hundreds of military officials below the stage all showed shock.
You still have to study at Army University? Why didn’t there be any news before?
Going to study at Lu University often means two situations: one is that you will be promoted immediately, and the other is that you have to stand aside.
So for those who have strong relationships, they are only happy to hear this news, but for those who have nothing to do, they are inevitably a little bit up and down, and they are afraid they have to stand aside.
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued to recite: "The list of people who go to Lu University for further study is as follows: Zhang Liangji, the commander of the 16th Division."
Hearing his name, Zhang Liangji couldn't help but look happy, because he had already secretly gotten into Chen Shi's relationship. This time he went to Lu University to study was a good opportunity. When he graduated from Lu University, he would definitely be transferred to the backbone of the 18th Army of the Civil Engineering Department, and he could still be a deputy commander if he was not good.
Zhong Yi continued to recite: "Tao Liu, the commander of the 62nd Division."
When Tao Liu heard his name, he looked bitter on his face.
Because Tao Liu's relationship is Tao Guang, Tao Guang has now stepped aside, and Tao Liu has actually lost the backstage. It seems that this time he has not only no chance to be promoted to the commander, but he is afraid that he is not even inappropriate in the division commander. With his background, when he comes out of the Lu University, the best result is to enter the commander and become a lieutenant general staff officer.
Zhong Yi continued to chant the list down, and the head of the person who heard his name was also happy and worried.
But soon, the military chiefs in the audience discovered an amazing fact.
Because Zhong Yinian's list is getting longer and longer, almost including most of the battalion commanders present, and even the division commander and deputy commander are not included!
Oh, no, none of the military chief officers of the 202nd Division, the 203rd Division and the 204th Division, adapted from the three detachments of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps, were listed.
Only then did everyone finally realize that Zhong Yi was clearly carrying out a big cleaning!
The surname Zhong is to completely replace the military chief officer at the battalion level and above of the 10th Army!
You are so naughty, how can you do this? It’s too unprofessional and too much, right?
Among all the people, Zhang Yuannan was the most surprising one. He originally thought that he would have a great chance to be promoted to the commander of the army this time. No matter how bad he was, he could still gain the power of the deputy commander and then act as the commander of the army.
As the saying goes, one fence has three stakes, one hero has three helpers, and the brother-in-law also needs helpers.
However, unexpectedly, Zhong Yi even had to send him to Lu University for further studies. Where did he sing?
Looking at the chief officer who was whispering behind him, Zhong Yi looked cold.
The military is governed by iron fist, and the same is true in ancient and modern times! The 10th Army's combat effectiveness is not strong, and the root cause lies in these chief officials, so he would not hesitate to offend public anger and take down the battalion and above of the six divisions of the former 10th Army! Even several divisions that performed well in the Xinsheng Battle were among his rectification.
The reason is very simple, you don’t have to doubt people without using them.
This time, his big fight with the 10th Army will definitely cause dissatisfaction among these middle and senior officials. At this time, letting a few officials stay in their positions is a huge hidden danger. Zhong Yi does not want to take this risk, nor can he take this risk, so he can only overdo the mistake and even replace these capable officials together.
The only exception is perhaps Fang Xianjue.
"Silence me!" Zhong Yi knocked on the table twice, suppressed the noise below, and said, "Did you hear it clearly just now? When you hear your name, hurry back and clean up, and then set off for Chongqing today, so the troops don't have to go back."
Since this decision has been made, Zhong Yi doesn't want to give these division commanders any chance.
As soon as Zhong Yi finished speaking, a team of fully armed guards flocked in, staring at the chief officer present.
Seeing this posture, the deputy commanders who wanted to cause trouble immediately became timid because they had no doubt that if they took the lead in causing trouble at this time, they would definitely be killed by Zhong Yi.
This guy Zhong Yi will never be lenient when he kills people.
The chief officer present stood up with a drooping head and returned to the dormitory to clean up.
