Originally, Zhang Chi thought that after using the "election" system, the old officers of the Sixth Army were probably wiped out... After all, most of the old officers were related or backgrounds, and even Li Zhen and Wu Guoxi were no exception.

When a soldier is usually fed up with this kind of bullying that is "background" and "related" is treated unfairly. If you have the opportunity to turn around, of course, you will change all these "background relationships" without thinking.

But this is not the case...

Many of the officers in the Sixth Army were promoted, such as Li Zhen was actually elected as the commander of the Sixth Army... from a regiment commander to a commander, which can be regarded as a rocket.

Of course, a considerable number of officers were replaced by grassroots, but the number was not as large as Zhang Chi imagined, and Da Qing was only half.

Later I remembered that this big sigh was related to several factors.

First of all, "background households" sometimes do not mean that they are unqualified officers, because the "background" in them may very well mean that the officer came from a military academy and had certain command abilities and qualities. For example, Li Zhen's background is a graduate of Huangpu.

Secondly, more importantly, those who are in the army are a little accustomed to being commanded by these "background relatives", and often even think that cultural people like the "background relatives" are needed to be officers... This may not be said to be a habit, but the bourgeoisie has long instilled a qualitative thinking in the people for its own interests: ordinary people cannot do these official things, and they must be scholars or respected people to be convinced.

Needless to say why we should instill this idea... Nowadays, it is difficult for grassroots to obtain higher education, so most of the people who receive higher education are bourgeoisie. If this idea is formed, the bourgeoisie can easily stand at the top of the food chain.

The most typical example is Li Yuanhong, the "Governor under the Bed".

When the Xinhai Revolution broke out, the Hubei New Army controlled the three towns of Wuhan in Wuchang Uprising. However, the uprising had no comprehensive plan. The revolutionaries seized the Qing army to transfer troops out of Wuchang when the defense power was weak. So after the uprising was successful, they did not know who would take the lead.

After thinking about it, the revolutionaries believed that Li Yuanhong, who was of great reputation, should be chosen to stabilize the overall situation.

Li Yuanhong didn't have the courage to ask for help. "When the party members came to invite him, he refused in every possible way. The revolutionaries were forced to take charge of the overall situation without recruiting the revolutionaries and shouted outside the door with guns: "You can come out even if you don't come out even if you don't come out!"

Li Yuanhong was so scared that he hid under the bed of the third concubine's room... The revolutionaries did not even have this kind of wise men. They found Li Yuanhong in just a few seconds and dragged him out of the bed, forced him to become the leader of the Revolutionary Army with a gun, and the title of "Governor under the bed" was also lost.

From this we can also know that the ideological poisoning of the people and even the revolutionaries at that time was still deeply rooted... From the perspective of modern people, the leaders of the Revolutionary Army were not important to reputation or local people, but first of all, the determination and will of the revolution, and then other things like ability. If you are forced to be a leader of the Revolutionary Army like Li Yuanhong, you will definitely not be qualified and will not do much.

At this time, the "election" of the Sixth Army was also confined to a considerable extent by this kind of thought. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that it is easy to relieve formal constraints, and to relieve ideological constraints cannot be completed in a short period of time.

But this problem is not very big.

After all, these officers are not static after being selected. What is more important is that they can formulate an effective mechanism for survival of the fittest in the army. This way, after only a period of training, the unqualified officers can be eliminated and replaced with qualified and excellent officers.

These systems, training and other things are naturally under the responsibility of Wang Mazi. The New Seventh Army has a ready-made system... The one who directly uses Stilwell to train the New Seventh Army is of course not fully accepted. Some things that are not suitable for the Chinese team have been cancelled, digested, absorbed and used in the Sixth Army.

The reform of the Sixth Army is relatively easy to do. After all, the Sixth Army has just been "suppressed" and a "mutine" has been destroyed, and all the officers who are not convinced know... The New Seventh Army has a whole American fleet supporting it, and Zhang Chi and others have the support of soldiers, so they can change whoever they want and change whatever they want. No one dares to have any objection.

But the 53rd Army and the 54th Army outside the Sixth Army are different... These two armies have their own commanders, and the command power is still in the hands of Principal Jiang. For them, let alone reorganization, they are not sure when the "Huo Xianjie" incident will be played again.

Therefore, the "Huo Xianjie Incident" should be a good thing. Before that, Zhang Chi has always focused on the direction of Northeast China, without considering the potential internal dangers at all.

Thinking about it now, even if such an army has trained a considerable level of combat effectiveness on the road, it will cause the front line to collapse completely due to inconsistent commands on the battlefield due to inconsistent commands and even secretly giving you a knife... There are already many precedents on the Chinese battlefield like this. At that time, when the Chinese team entered the Northeast to fight, Principal Jiang only needed a remote command to secretly make bad things, and a knife to kill people, and could easily push the New Seventh Army into the fire pit.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chi still needs to stay in Rabaul. He must take over the command of these troops and integrate them.

And if you want to obtain command peacefully and quickly, there is only one way.

Then Zhang Chi called Halsey.

"General!" Zhang Chi said: "Although the Sixth Army's problems have been almost handled, you know, we have at least two other armies...that is, the 53rd Army and the 54th Army, which are not that easy to deal with!"

"Well!" Halsey obviously considered this and answered helplessly: "God, I thought that the ** team among you was the same as the US military, and that these troops could be put into the battlefield immediately. Now I realized that this was a big mistake!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi said: "We are not ready yet, and this needs your help!"

"No problem!" Halsey responded without thinking: "How can I help you?"

"Make a detailed report to President Roosevelt!" Zhang Chi said: "And through President Roosevelt, pressure President Chiang to hand over command!" (To be continued.)
