"The army's political and ideological work must be put first. An army without thoughts and beliefs has no soul and combat effectiveness." Wang Zhenyu was speaking to members of the upcoming political guidance department of the Youth Army. This department was decided to be established after Wang Zhenyu had been thinking about a problem.

This question has actually troubled Wang Zhenyu for a long time. Simply put, it is the question of whether the army should be nationalized.

To use later examples, in Wang Zhenyu's original world, the US military was almost the most powerful existence. When dictators around the world heard the news that the US military appeared on their territory, they would foam at the mouth and twitch all over, because they knew that the consequences of their long-term dictatorship of the regime were not to be able to gather the people with lies, and if they lost the support of the people, they could not defeat the US military by relying on the little army that could only be doomed to the nest. Even if the US military was always greedy for life and death, it would be useless. These mercenaries were holding the most advanced weapons in the world, and they didn't know if it was given to them by aliens.

It's a long way to go. Although the US military is so terrifying, there is still an army in the world that makes Americans feel headaches. The equipment of this army may not be as good as that of the US military, but they have an advantage that Americans can never surpass, that is political thought. In this army, there are a large number of political cadres. Their task is not to be responsible for war, but to be responsible for brainwashing. Uh, no, it should be education and inspiration. Their work efficiency is much higher than that of the priests who accompanied the US military. With their hard work, each one is flat. All soldiers have become extraordinary. They will firmly believe that they are fighting to liberate all mankind. They will firmly believe that they are extremely righteous and glorious. They will firmly believe that the final victory must belong to them and the party. In many cases, they will devote their lives to the party without hesitation. They will fight to the last moment of their lives even though they know they will die. They will fight with you with their lives, but you still want to go back to reunite with your wife and children after the battle. These political cadres are the most powerful individual weapons in the Red Alert, Yuga.

In history, the Soviet Red Army relied on the political commissar system and used the blood of Russian youth to defeat Belarus, defeated the interfering army of the great powers, defeated the reactionary Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and the Japanese Northward Army, and also eliminated the Trotsky elements who were mixed into the revolutionary ranks. This Trotsky element was so terrible. More than two-thirds of the Red Army officers were all. I don't know how the Red Army defeated the White Bandits under so many traitors. What's even more terrifying is that after the large number of Trotsky elements were eliminated, the Soviet Union was the Soviet Union. The Red Army still relied on political commissars, who were very amateurs of military affairs, to defeat the Germans who made the whole world tremble. This kind of institutional superiority is definitely not something to describe. Look at them summoning all the blizzards that have not been seen in a century. Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu suddenly understood, "Great, no wonder I encountered an earthquake that has not been seen in a thousand years in the next life, and caught a flood that has not been seen in a century," he said. Even his grandmother's vote once every five years, and it turned out to be the advantage of the system.

It has to be said that Wang Zhenyu finally has the shadow of an idealist. Although he knows that the Party has so many advantages in leading the army, he still refuses to completely transform the Youth Army into a military. However, in fact, the Youth Army now has all the conditions for transforming the Party into a military, and Wang Zhenyu still refuses to move a little against the historical trend. Wang Zhenyu's reply to Chen Shao and others who proposed the military into a military are: "I can't predict the future (pretend that others really can't, you may be), but if the Youth Army is completely transformed into a party army, then we can be sure that no matter whether we implement the National Congress system or whether other political parties are allowed to participate in politics and discuss politics, the National Socialist Party will become the permanent only ruling party because of the largest armed forces, until the absolute corruption caused by absolute power completely rots and self-destruction. This is by no means a gospel for the nation, the people and even the party."

Chen Shao was very dissatisfied with this: "Then I want to know who our army should fight for. If we don't turn them into party forces, then how can we control their thoughts and ensure their loyalty and combat effectiveness."

Wang Zhenyu did not care about Chen Shao's confrontation, but noticed a dangerous idea of ​​Chen Shao. As the revolutionary cause prospered, the brothers who followed him began to have different ideas, including groups like Chen Shao and Bai Chongxi who were constantly trying to concentrate power. These groups were calling for themselves as the supreme leader of China, but in fact they were still planning for the interests of themselves and their small groups. Wang Zhenyu was very dissatisfied with this, so he would not agree to them, which meant baking himself on the fire.

However, Wang Zhenyu also realized that this does exist objectively and needs to be solved urgently. After all, if the army group is not guarded against the problem and does not strengthen its management, even if it is as powerful as the Eight Banners, it will gradually rot under the condition of peace. Even the US military cannot avoid this. The recruitment of US troops in later generations has become a big problem. We have to use a green card to recruit foreigners who are eager to become Americans from China, Puerto Rico and other countries to join the US military. You must know that the total number of US troops is only 850,000, not as large as North Korea, and their total population is nearly 400 million. Therefore, the US military will bully those dictators who are conscience-loving and unpopular, because the cost of this kind of battle is low and the benefits are high.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhenyu decided to establish the political commissar system. However, unlike the political commissar system in the Soviet Red Army in history, Wang Zhenyu positioned the military political work as political guidance and propaganda. Just look at the name of the department he established, he did not use his confidants to choose the minister, but instead appointed Dai Jitao, a follower of Sun Yat-sen. Dai Jitao was appointed as the lieutenant general of the Political Guidance Department. The Political Guidance Department was directly affiliated with the Military Commission, mainly responsible for the cultural education and ideological propaganda work of the army. At the same time, in order to strengthen their work, they also have the personnel power of political cadres and the right to assess some military cadres. It is worth mentioning that Chiang Kai-shek, who has always been inconsistent with Wang Zhenyu, actually came out under the persuasion of Dai Jitao, and served as the deputy minister of the Political Guidance Department and the brigadier general of the Political Guidance Department of the Youth Army Expeditionary Force, which is a typical low-level player.

This brigade general is also the latest collegial created by Wang Zhenyu, similar to later generations. According to the Chairman's Order No. 17 of the Fifth Year of the Republic of China issued by Wang Zhenyu, officers of the Youth Army (including brigade generals) above (including brigade generals) can enjoy the benefits of retirement after their term of office at the age of 60 to 70. Therefore, in the youth army, as long as they arrive at brigade generals, they can be called generals with respect, and the monthly salary is 1,800 yuan (the salary for general workers in the factory at this time is), which is a very face-saving and very considerable job.

In accordance with the latest signed Order No. 21, the grassroots units of the Political Guidance Department will be established at the company, and the company will be established with political instructors, political instructors, political commissars, and directors of the Political Guidance Department will be established with divisions.

In this way, a three-legged situation was formed in the Youth Army. First, the military chief officer, division commander, etc. were directly appointed by the Military Commission (the future was appointed by the Army Department, and this department has not yet been established). They had military command power; second, the staff supervisor, and the chief of staff were directly appointed by the General Staff, who controlled personnel and logistics; finally, the political guidance department, which controlled supervision and political ideological work. Although the powers of the three departments were not equal, they barely formed a relatively balanced situation in the army, and this was what Wang Zhenyu hoped.

Although the work of the Political Guidance Department cannot achieve the effect of the Soviet Red Army political commissar due to Wang Zhenyu's restrictions, it can also provide mainstream political ideas to the army to a certain extent, thus providing support for the majority of officers and soldiers with the power of faith, and making the entire army full of souls.

The office area of ​​Wuhan’s Military Commission is the focus of the entire urban construction. This office area was designed by Wang Zhenyu himself and is very large in scale. Specifically, this office area consists of four buildings.

The outermost second floor is round, which surrounds the entire office area in a large circle and covers a small circle. The heights of these two floors are 24 meters on the fourth floor and 36 meters on the sixth floor. The width of the building is 25 meters, the spacing between the buildings is 40 meters, and all are parking lots. There are twelve overpasses connected between the two floors. These overpasses later became a good place for officers to chat.

Walking inside, there is an office building that looks like a square courtyard, with a height of six floors and thirty-six meters. The diameter of the building itself is thirty-meters. The distance between the outside is a bit large, about fifty meters, and it is connected to the outer floor with only four overpasses. In fact, the original purpose of the design of these cement overpasses was not to facilitate the staff to send documents, but because Wang Zhenyu still attaches great importance to his escape, and he is unwilling to build the Military Commission into his own prison. The four-meter building in the middle makes the entire office area look like the traditional meaning of a round sky and a round place. This also makes people who hate Wang Zhenyu give the Military Commission a nickname of big copper coins.

In the middle of the Sifang Building is a clearing space of 99 meters long and 99 meters wide. It is designed as a garden, and there is also a three-story Chinese-style office building in the middle. This is the core of the entire Military Commission, where the Standing Committee Building is located, and the Chairman and Vice Chairman are both working here.
