.    But government capital will not withdraw from various fields.  In the mines.  For example, in all resource fields such as coal mines, iron mines, and petroleum, the government fully invests and exercises monopoly control.  It also formulates relevant resource laws for national resources, restricts the right to resource exploitation to the central government, and formulates annual mining plans and emergency mining plans. In the absence of the War Mobilization Act and the special authorization of the president, all relevant resources must be mined in strict accordance with the formulated regulations.  Resource extraction plan, slowly extracting resources within limits according to steps.  The economic development pattern is dominated by foreign imports and supplemented by domestic mining.

    The last item belongs to the construction of the military field. After the unification war, the current functions of the national army have been transformed from unification to protecting national security and preventing military deterrence from hostile countries.  Therefore, military expansion is no longer the focus, especially at the moment when it is necessary to focus on economic development, construction and production.

    Therefore, during the period when Hua Fei stayed in his hometown, policies on further reform and construction of the army were successively introduced.  The current tasks and goals of military construction have obviously changed, and related military expansion plans have been cancelled.  Instead, we began to strengthen construction in terms of quality, pursuing strong and elite troops rather than more troops.

    The original number of more than 30 corps of the National Defense Forces was abolished on a large scale, leaving only 20 corps and several ** divisions.  It also optimizes the internal personnel structure of the army, increases the number of officers, balances the construction standards of different units, and strengthens the division's exclusive command and operational authority.

    For example, the original pure cloth army, including officers, had a strength of at least 36,000.  However, after this reform, even the pure infantry corps has only 30,000 personnel. The logistics force has been abolished from the corps, a separate logistics force has been established, and a joint logistics system has been implemented.

    And among the 30,000 people, the number of officers has also been greatly increased, reaching a level of twenty to one or even higher.  Moreover, the assessment of officers is extremely strict, and a strict assessment system is implemented. All officers who fail to pass will all become reserves. A large number of reserve officers, including students who graduated from military academies, can pass the reserve examination and apply to enter the active force.

    Rather than maintaining a large army, it is better to maintain a huge number of officers.  In this way, no matter how cruel the war is, Hua Fei can quickly organize a large and highly specialized army in a short period of time.  Soldiers, sometimes just need to know how to shoot.  Strictly executing the officer's orders without fear of death is enough to qualify.  To a certain extent, the fact that the German army swept across the European continent at the beginning of World War II was also related to the fact that they had a large number of officers with professional military qualities.

    Mechanized corps gives each tank mechanic greater operational autonomy. Some infantry corps, due to limited financial resources, cannot complete a comprehensive mechanization change in a short period of time.  Therefore, the headquarters gave each army certain rights to form mechanized troops, and each army also delegated this right.

    It can be said that since the tank division showed its invincible momentum on the Northeast battlefield, the tank unit has simply become a legend in the army.  For many soldiers, it turns out that becoming a poisonous person and becoming a guard can be said to be the highest pursuit.  But since the emergence of tank divisions, many people's goals have changed.  After all, the number of poisonous people and guards is limited, and it is too difficult.  But the tank division is different, especially since the headquarters has decentralized the power to form mechanized units, that is to say, if they have money, they can order tanks themselves.

    Each division has a certain amount of military expenditure.  As a result, many armies began to think of ways to reduce military expenditures and use the saved money to purchase tanks.  Although they cannot be as wealthy as the First Army and form a tank division with 2 battalions of the 2nd regiment or 3 battalions of the 2nd regiment, it is not a problem for them to form a tank battalion.  But the tank battalion sounded a bit weak, so the armies named the tank battalion the **First Tank Regiment. If they formed a tank regiment, the name would be the **First Tank Brigade.

    The troops set off the ** tank forces, from the army commander, division commander, and ordinary soldiers.  The matter later went so far that it even reduced food expenses, so the headquarters immediately ordered that if the division was found to have violated food standards, it would not receive special funding for mechanization construction from the headquarters within three years.  And the military chiefs will also be punished.

    But even so, it still cannot reduce everyone's enthusiasm for building tank troops. Isn't the headquarters not allowed to lower the food standards?  It¡¯s not like we¡¯re not allowed to save on food and military expenses. That¡¯s fine, let¡¯s start the road to self-production and self-construction.  Each division has a production company dedicated to growing vegetables, raising pigs, and raising chickens.  It can not only maintain everyone's food standards, but also save military expenses for the troops and save money to buy tanks.

    When Hua Fei heard about this later, he couldn¡¯t think of a way to continue like this.  Why call it an army? We might as well turn them all into civilians.?Forget it, it will never work if the army becomes obsessed with saving money for tanks.  Therefore, the Commander-in-Chief ordered that three major training simulation exercise confrontation bases with different terrains and environments be built across the country. Every month, divisions in each military region were randomly ordered to be assigned to a certain exercise confrontation base, and one party served as the defender.  One side serves as the attacking side, and the other side serves as the attacking side to conduct a full-scale war simulated confrontation training similar to actual combat.  Any troops that win the combat confrontation will receive an additional equipment construction bonus.

    Wow, the armed training of various armies suddenly increased.  There is a slogan spread in the army, raising pigs and vegetables is not as good as shooting at targets (pronounced shai, dialect.) Win the exercise and the tanks will come back!

    There are joys and sorrows. Since there is confrontation, there are victories and defeats.  Those failed divisions not only suffered a double delay in pork and vegetables, but also failed to obtain tanks. You can imagine the frustration.  I don¡¯t know which division invented it first.  All the soldiers who were at the bottom in the training assessment, or the soldiers with the lowest assessment in the exercise, their mission after returning is to raise pigs and vegetables for me.  Only when their performance improves in the next assessment or exercise can they leave the place where they feel inwardly.

    After Hua Fei saw it, he still couldn't help the enthusiasm of the army for "self-production", and he couldn't help but feel a little inwardly.  However, with this kind of rigorous training in actual combat, the combat effectiveness of the army can be improved and maintained, and Hua Fei is not concerned about the behavior of the divisions below.  This mechanism with competitive penalties can actually stimulate soldiers' training and be helpful to their self-improvement.

    Twenty armies and five military regions.  On average, each military region has four armies.  However, the Western Military District, which is vast and sparsely populated, is not equipped with four armies, but only three armies.  The Northern Military District, which borders North Korea and Russia, is equipped with five armies because it is responsible for the most severe defense and security situation.  In addition, because the Central Military Region's guard troops are not subject to deployment by major military regions, the Central Military Region also has a military presence of five corps.  It's just that the Central Guard has a special establishment with an uncertain number. It also has a Central Security and Guard Section, which is responsible for the security and outbound bodyguard tasks of senior officials from various central departments.

    In addition, after Taiwan was recovered, Taiwan¡¯s military was also in the process of military reform and reorganization. Most of the original Taiwanese Bald Army were transferred to reserve forces, and the independent overseas Chinese legions also returned to their respective countries after completing their missions.  However, under the contact of the Central Command Commissioner, although they returned to China, they did not disband the organization. Instead, they were transformed from divisions into small-scale teams such as companies and platoons. They were dispersed to various Southeast Asian countries in the name of armed merchant corps and invaded the Chinese Legion.  The division headquarters will not be abolished, and each company and platoon will still be under the command and control of the division headquarters, maintaining the unity of military orders and the strict implementation of military discipline.

    Taiwan only retains one ** division, which is directly under the command of the headquarters and is not subject to the control of the Southern Military Region.

    Compared with the army's disarmament and elite route, the navy is completely following the path of military expansion. Not only has the previously formulated naval development outline not been affected, but after the financial situation improves, part of the military expenditure saved from the abolition of the army has been transferred to  For investment in the Navy.  And before the new government was formed, Hua Fei used his absolute authority to formulate a special bill for naval development, which stipulated that in the next ten years, a special amount of naval equipment construction expenses would be allocated every year on the basis of the military expenditures passed in the budget.  , used to speed up the modernization of the Navy.

    In addition to the First Fleet with the aircraft carrier Eastern Giant as its flagship and six battlecruisers, the Navy now has many new destroyers and cruisers with displacements ranging from one thousand tons to tens of thousands of tons joining the First Fleet one after another.  In addition, many warships are being built at full capacity at the shipyard to comprehensively upgrade the ships for the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet in the Navy's construction outline.

    In Hua Fei¡¯s naval construction blueprint, he will make every effort to build China¡¯s three major blue sea fleets before the start of World War II.  Each fleet should have two to three aircraft carriers as the standard.  Equipped with six to nine Derflinger-based battlecruisers with a displacement of 17,800 tons and a reduced and improved standard design.  Coupled with this are twelve to eighteen light cruisers with a displacement of seven to eight thousand tons, and thirty-six to fifty-four various types of destroyers and frigates with a displacement of more than one thousand tons to more than three thousand tons.

    These are all surface combat ship groups. In addition, of course, there are various ships such as supply ships, hospital ships, landing ships, minesweepers, minelayers, etc.  Under the water, there is the submarine force. However, as for the construction of the submarine force, according to the Navy's plan outline, the main purpose of the submarine is not to serve as an underwater attack method and defense method for the three fleets, but as a combat force.  Perform various military or joint combat missions.

    In addition, the Navy also has a Marine Corps. However, unlike foreign countries, the Marine Corps does not belong to the Navy alone, but is a joint force formed with the Army. Although it belongs to the Navy's organizational sequence, the commanding officers have both Navy  There are also army officers. Even the military uniforms are different from those of the three services. They are individually designed combat uniforms., command and control are vested directly in the headquarters.

    The Air Force is not as lucky as the Navy, but compared to the Army, they have to feel a little happier.  Although the Air Force's funding has also been reduced, the extent is not significant.  Moreover, the Air Force's establishment not only has not been reduced, but has also been reorganized and expanded. This is also the Air Force's first large-scale reorganization.

    The Air Force expanded the original three Air Force divisions into five Air Force divisions, so that each military region has an Air Force division to defend the airspace and assist the Army in combat.  Although the five air force divisions are stationed in the five military regions, they are not controlled by the five military regions, but are under the orders of the Air Force Headquarters.  The air forces of the five major air force divisions are equipped with aircraft with different functions and capabilities depending on the areas where they are stationed.

    For example, the Northern Military Region's mission is to protect the vast land in the Northeast, the outer Xing'an Mountains, and the vast sea airspace in the east. Therefore, the Third Air Division of the Northern Military Region is extremely powerful. It not only has a huge number of bombers, but also specialized aircraft designed and manufactured by aircraft manufacturers.  There are also a large number of fighter jets targeting infantry attack aircraft.  The Fourth Air Force Division stationed in the Southern Military Region has only a small number of ground attack aircraft. Most of the aircraft are fighters adapted to maritime operations and bombers targeting warships.  For example, the Fifth Division of the Air Force stationed in the Western Military Region has different tasks. In addition to stationing certain fighter aircraft in Mongolia and western and northern Xinjiang, the strength of the Fifth Division in the entire Air Force system is relatively weak.

    But this only refers to the number and types of aircraft equipped by the Air Force. Since the Air Force suddenly expanded from five divisions to three divisions, the original aircraft were divided up, and of course there will be a problem of allocation focus.  More importantly, during this military reorganization and reform, the Air Force has limited funds, and the funds for the purchase of new aircraft are even less, which means that each division will not be able to purchase large quantities of new aircraft for a long time.

    Although Hua Fei has imposed restrictions on the large-scale addition of new aircraft to the Air Force, it does not mean that Hua Fei does not understand the importance of air supremacy, nor does it mean that Hua Fei will give up the construction of the Air Force.  But Huafei understands very well that in this era of very rapid technological advancement, especially the technology in the aviation industry, is changing with each passing day.  In the 1920s, the world was still dominated by wooden aircraft. By the 1930s, all-metal aircraft had rapidly emerged. After the outbreak of World War II, it was almost difficult to see wooden aircraft anymore.  Instead of equipping a large number of combat aircraft in today's peacetime and then being eliminated within a few years, it is better to wait until aircraft manufacturers and scientific and technical personnel can develop an all-metal aircraft with superior performance, and save on large-scale equipment.  There is a lot of military spending.

    Of course, the Air Force has not reduced its military spending too much, but has almost stopped equipping new aircraft. A large amount of funds have been transferred to the development and experimentation of new aircraft. In addition, the training of pilots has not stopped for a moment. Not only has it invested money in  In addition to the training of great pilots, aviation publicity is also widely carried out among the private sector, and private citizens are encouraged to form flying clubs.  For this purpose, Huafei also invested in a glider factory and a small aircraft production factory to provide hardware facilities for private flying enthusiasts.  Even though the factory suffered losses year after year in the first few years, Hua Fei did not frown and resolutely carried out the project.  The purpose of everything he does is obviously to reserve a large number of aviation enthusiasts with basic flying skills for the country.  Once future wars exceed Hua Fei's expectations, these reserved talents will become the country's war potential.

    All preparations are for war.  This is not because Hua Fei is looking forward to war, but if war is destined to be inevitable, then it will be an opportunity for the Chinese government and the Chinese nation to present both challenges and risks.

    ??If it were not for rebirth in the ashes of war, the entire nation and country would be refined like quenching.  Or just lick your wounds and slowly regain your strength.

    ****

    In July, the U.S. government officially released the investigative report on the accident of the Politanas passenger ship. In the report, the U.S. government claimed that the ship was carrying several gang members who had been wanted by the U.S. government for a long time. The explosion may have been caused by gangs.  The vendetta may also be a way for the underworld to demonstrate against the US government.

    A spokesman for the U.S. government stated that the boarding of the first lady of the Chinese president on the ship was entirely a temporary decision. The domestic underworld organizations in the United States were not targeting China, nor were they murdering the wife of the Chinese president to demonstrate against the government.  This was a complete accident, an accident that no one would have expected.

    The spokesman said that the U.S. government has arrested more than 100 suspects. After the case is clearly heard, the sentences will be severely punished and the Chinese government and people will be given a satisfactory explanation.  In addition, the U.S. government will definitely crack down on domestic organized crime in the aftermath to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

    It turned out to be a retaliatory action by the underworld. As we all know, since the prohibition of alcohol was issued in the United States, domestic underworld activities have developed rapidly and become extremely rampant. Various new weapons have been used from time to time to exchange fire with the police. The domestic security situation has been chaotic, and countries around the world haveHave heard.

    So after getting this investigative report that is very logically able to withstand scrutiny, what else can people say other than lamenting that the wife of the Chinese president is so unlucky to be involved in such a messy thing that she died.  ?

    But at this moment, Hua Fei didn't think so after reading the report. Instead, he put down the piece of information in his hand with a slight sneer and closed his eyes tightly.  In her ears was the sound of her daughter playing outside the hospital. This girl had been pestering her to go to the United States to see her mother.  Only today when Mrs. Zhu of the Zhu family came here did the girl, who had always been in low spirits, play happily.

    The reports coming from the United States in Hua Fei's hands became more and more detailed. Although the intelligence system deployed in the United States could not be compared with the domestic system, national resources were used to investigate the truth behind a case. Although it took Hua Fei himself a surprise,  Time passes, but the truth is still revealed bit by bit, like a thread peeling off a cocoon.

    This truth surprised even Hua Fei. According to the investigation by the intelligence agency in the United States, although the matter involved a gangland killer organization, the mastermind behind it turned out to be an ancient family.  This family was unknown even at that time, but only a few people knew the power behind this ancient family.  Yes, intelligence agencies in the United States suspect that this family is the most mysterious bank capitalist in the United States.  Although they rarely appear in public, they have controlled much of the U.S. economy, commerce, and banks through several channels. Their financial resources and influence are extremely astonishing.  If the United States has a master, it is these ancient families, the capitalist gods who hold the vast majority of the wealth in the United States.

    Of course, the intelligence agencies in the United States have very limited knowledge of these families, but according to their investigations, all clues and doubts point to one person, and that is Clive Rawls.  And this Clive Rawls is the main figure of the younger generation of the Rawls family. According to investigative information, Rawls was a classmate of Ingrid Harman for many years, and was Ingrid¡¯s former friend.  fianc¨¦.  But no one would have thought that Ingrid would run away privately, get rid of the marriage arranged for him by his family, and marry a Chinese aristocrat who was not prominent at the time.  Warlords sound very cool, but in China at that time, there were so many warlords that you could catch a lot of them.  This matter caused widespread discussion at the time.  It's just that even in the newspapers at that time, few people knew Clive's background.

    It has been so long since this incident, and it has been several years since Ingrid returned to the United States. Why did Clive choose to attack Harman when he returned to the country instead of choosing another time?  And as an important figure in the young generation of such an ancient family, Hua Fei really couldn't figure out the reason why he was so impulsive.

    But nothing is without reason. Although many of the subsequent in-depth investigations lacked evidence, they were groundless, especially when the intelligence officers found an important figure whose identity was extremely prominent.  Importantly, he is a member of the mysterious Skull and Bones Society in the United States.  Through the information about this important figure, the intelligence personnel learned a shocking secret that could not be confirmed.

    That is, Clive Rawls is also a member of the Skull and Bones Society, but his status in the Rawls family is not prominent and he can only be regarded as a mid-level figure.  His marriage to Ingrid was itself a marriage alliance between the family to win over the emerging Harman family, but no one expected that Ingrid would run away from the marriage and marry a Chinese.

    This is a huge blow to Clive. As a member of the Skull and Bones Society, even his wife has been 'robbed', and he is helpless and powerless.  Because of the failure of this marriage, the Rawls family paid much less attention to Clive.  Skull and Bones never accepts worthless people, so Clive became one of the few members to be removed from the list since the establishment of Skull and Bones.  Although the Skull and Bones Society has always had a tradition of mutual aid, Clive is only an associate member. Before he mastered the important rights of the Rawls family and married Ingrid, he was not strong enough to be accepted by the Skull and Bones Society.

    ¡°However, Clive, who could have had great success in the United States, was completely hit the bottom because of this incident.  If Ingrid had married another American millionaire, things would undoubtedly be much better in the eyes of many.  But Ingrid stayed away from the United States, married a Chinese, and even broke with the family.  From this, we can see how much Ingrid despises Clive, and the impact on the man's dignity is simply immeasurable.

    So, such an originally extremely outstanding young man was destroyed because of a woman, and hatred planted seeds in his heart that could not be eradicated.
