Over the years, discerning people in the circle have gradually come to understand that some of the elite backbones of the Sixth Biao Regiment of the New Army, such as Chen Er, Luo Erhu, Song Xiaoniu, Yang Shanxin, Tu Fu and other officers, have all successively transferred to serve in the Fengzhong Security Force.

, even Ji Chunsheng is nominally the chief of staff of the New Army’s Second Association, but in fact he and his staff team focus their work on the security forces.

It can be seen that Chen Tianhua's focus in military construction in recent years has been on the security forces, and he is personally responsible for it. For the Second Association of the Zhejiang Army, from military officers to soldiers, they have actually been recruited and trained in the past few years.

As a result, entire battalions and entire companies of the officers and soldiers of the original Sixth Biao Regiment were seconded to the mining areas. It was like a meat bun beating a dog. There was no return. Slowly, they all evolved into security forces.

In the Second Association of the Zhejiang Army, as far as old people are concerned, only Lu Kaishan, the Minister of Logistics, and Jiang Wu, the one-armed thief, are left. However, Lu Kaishan, the chief steward, once visited western Ganxi. Later, Li Xinghong repeatedly requested that Chen Tianhua

Then he ordered him to return quickly.

That's because the logistics and logistics of the base camp cannot be separated from the big housekeeper Lu Kaishan. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will also become a member of the security forces.

However, Lu Kaishan also helped train many logistics managers for the security forces.

How many actual troops are there in the Fengzhong Security Forces now? Where are they specifically deployed? No one can tell. I’m afraid no one at the core level knows except Chen Tianhua, Xu Yunyuan and Ji Chunsheng. Even Li Xinghong doesn’t know.

Just know roughly.

There is actually nothing clever about this kind of subtle trick. It can only be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed forever. Li Xinghong can see it clearly, and Li Cunzhi can see it even more clearly.

Of course, Chen Tianhua has the biggest reason, which is that Fengzhong's enterprises, mining, railways, steel, ordnance, etc. deployed in various provinces all need military protection. This is indeed a fact.

But the drunkard's ambition is not about wine. Chen Tianhua's ambition has been exposed bit by bit over the years. By the time it is so subtle that people notice it, it is already too late.

All these can only show that Chen Tianhua has a deep palace and is well disguised. Even now, you can't tell what his intentions and ambitions are? It seems that everything he does is approved by the Li family.

.

His thoughts were revealed to no one, including his wife.

In terms of internal security management in the Meiguang Autonomous Region, he introduced the police system two years ago and established a police station under the control of the Government Affairs Committee.

The police chief is Dewey, the former railway patrol squadron leader. He is also a close confidant of Chen Tianhua.

The police department has three squadrons under its jurisdiction, with a current total strength of 560 people, all equipped with modern military equipment.

What makes the Li family most uneasy is that even Chen Tianhua probably doesn't know how far Xue Hu's shadow is lurking in government offices at all levels, garrison camps, police stations and other institutions in the autonomous region.

In view of the above comprehensive circumstances, Li Xinghong had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Chen Tianhua for showdown negotiations today after obtaining the consent of the Li Mansion.

"Xinghong, this issue of military structure is not a new matter. We have discussed it before. Based on the current development trend and current situation of Fengzhong, it is a last resort to establish a security force. This establishment should all be placed in the Zhejiang New Army.

, then our Second Association, shouldn’t we expand into a second town? In this way, it will be difficult for Mr. Li’s family to handle, how can he balance it? And if our name is not correct, our words will not be correct, and if word spreads, this Imperial Army Department

I won’t agree to it either.”

Chen Tianhua answered Li Xinghong's question with a smile.

Li Xinghong seemed to have already guessed this reply. He was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, he sat down and took a sip of hot tea, looked up at Chen Tianhua and said with a grin:

"The young general said that this is the old calendar. The old man in the Li family has been thinking about you and me for a long time. Not long ago, he sent a memorial to the Prime Minister's Yamen and the Ministry of War, hoping to capture a town of the Zhejiang New Army.

Expanded into two towns.”

"Unexpectedly, not long ago, the Cabinet Premier's Yamen, together with the Ministry of War, issued an approval, agreeing to the expansion of the Zhejiang New Army, military expenditures and other matters to be taken care of by oneself, without affecting the taxes and money paid by Zhejiang Province to the national treasury."

Li Xinghong's words made Chen Tianhua feel mixed and indescribably bitter.

This is actually a notification. Li Xinghong is conveying the latest regulations of the Li Mansion on the military system of garrisoning troops in the Meiguang Autonomous Region.

Chen Tianhua didn't know anything about such an important adjustment in advance? Even the secret report from the Military Coordination Office did not include this information. This shows that the Li Mansion is aiming at a one-stop solution to the military system problem, and it is carried out quickly and efficiently.

It was confidential. As soon as we got the approval, we immediately called Li Xinghong from Meiguang New City through a red line phone call.

As for Li Xinghong, as soon as he put down the phone, he was ordered to come for a showdown.

Lord Tie Liang, Minister of the Army, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? He has two boats?

Tie Liang obviously wanted to make full use of Chen Tianhua's power but was afraid of losing control. He noticed that there was a secret game between Li Cunzhi, the leader of the Li family, and his son-in-law Chen Tianhua. He just took advantage of it to kill two birds with one stone.

The boat allows the father-in-law and son-in-law to secretly restrain each other, guard against and restrict each other, which is most beneficial to the court's overall control.

What a Tie Liang, this trick is quite insidious.

"Congratulations, General, on your promotion to the second town commander of the New Zhejiang Army." Li Xinghong suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Chen Tianhua, and pulled Chen Tianhua back from his meditation.

"What...what did you just say?" Chen Tianhua asked in shock.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War's order to promote you to the position of commander of the second town of the Zhejiang New Army has been issued and is now on the way to various places. From now on, you are no longer a major general, but should be respectfully called a superior.

General, should our entire army hold a ceremony to celebrate?!" This time, Li Xinghong made the outcome of the matter clear.

When Chen Tianhua heard the news, he was not happy at all, but felt a little uneasy.

On the surface, he was promoted to general and enjoyed unlimited glory. In fact, Chen Tianhua didn't care about this at all. This kind of drama of changing the soup without changing the medicine would not only not let go of his autonomy, but would instead be severely restricted.

In the past, his Fengzhong security force was an external establishment of the New Army, and all reports did not need to be submitted to the Li Mansion. It was completely legitimate extracorporeal circulation.

But it will be different after the unification of the military system. The Fengzhong security forces will be unified within the new army establishment. All transfers, expansions and deployments must be approved by the Li government, and at least one copy must be reported.

"My father-in-law is also serious. Why did he inform me of such an important event in advance? Besides, he asked me to be the commander of the second town, and he was the commander of the first town. We, husband and wife, seem to have such a good match.

It’s so unbecoming!”
