Chapter 678 The final joint meeting

In the early morning, the special train rang into the train station with a long whistle. The platform had been cleared. Apart from the guards of the military police and the Secret Service, there were only dozens of government-controlled welcome teams left. Liang Qichao and Song Jiaoren couldn't wait to greet each other, with excited smiles on their faces.

When Wu Shaoting walked out of the carriage, Liang Qichao quickly stepped forward and handed a bright ribbon on his hands.

"Shocking, this is a great consul's gift belt designed by the government. You will go directly to the Union Hall to take the oath later, so I'll send it to you for you to wear it now." Liang Qichao said enthusiastically. He was wearing a brand new suit and looked full of energy, which shows that he attaches great importance to today's oath ceremony.

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, it's too early. I should have been formally appointed after taking the oath. Now wearing the Grand Consul's harness will attract gossip." Wu Shaoting smiled and refused.

"This tribute belt is just for decoration, and it also distinguishes you from the different identities of Zhenzhi. Besides, it is only a few steps away from the oath. I discussed it with everyone before coming, and there is nothing wrong with it. Zhenzhi, just put it on. When you get off at the Union Hall, you will look even more arrogant." Liang Qichao said with a smile.

The other representatives of the parliamentarians behind him all agreed with each other.

Wu Shaoting didn't need to bother with this little thing, so he agreed. With the help of the attendant, he wore this brand new ribbon on his shoulder. The ribbon was in a golden edging style, and there was a clear embroidery picture directly above, which was embroidered with the Five-Color Republic Flag of the Republic of China. There was also a smaller emblem along the ribbon to the hem. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see it. This emblem is the Eighteen Stars of the Army.

Liang Qichao explained to Wu Shaoting: "The design of the ribbon is hasty, but everyone's opinions are still passed. Since the President of the Government is the new leader of the Republic of China, he naturally has to use the national flag as the most solemn mark to show that the country's responsibility is on his shoulders. In addition, the President of the Government is in charge of all the military power of Greater China. The Eighteen-Star Flag is a traditional military flag, which is used to symbolize the power of command. The reason why it is placed under the ribbon means that the power is under the consul."

Wu Shaoting nodded slowly and said happily: "It's really a laborious thing. This meaning must always remind Shaoting that what is above and what is below."

Liang Qichao felt relieved and sighed: "I believe that the shock will definitely live up to expectations."

Song Jiaoren looked at his pocket watch and came forward to remind him: "It's already 8:30 now. The oath ceremony was originally scheduled to be at nine o'clock. Let's get on the bus first. It would be bad if the ceremony was postponed."

Wu Shaoting said: "Since that's the case, let's set off right away."

Everyone left the train station and took a car that had been prepared. More than 20 cars and more than 300 cavalry guards were sent to the Federation Hall in a very powerful manner.

Along the way, many people from Wuzhou flocked to both sides of the streets, shaking flags or shouting, warmly welcomed President Wu as the chairman of the government. The scene was very lively, and even more military police were sent to maintain traffic. After 50 tragedies, the people in Wuzhou were grateful to Wu Shaoting. If such a great person who cares about people's livelihood serves as the leader of the government, his life will definitely get better and better in the future. It is naturally difficult to suppress his excitement at this moment!

Many members of Congress and guests were waiting at the gate of the Union Hall. After the convoy arrived, Cen Chunxuan, Xiong Xiling and Zhang Jian took the lead. Wu Shaoting got off the car one after another, exchanged greetings, and walked into the gate of the Union Hall under the shining eyes of everyone, stepped on the steps and walked into the gate of the Union Hall, and everyone followed closely behind and entered the venue in an orderly manner.

After sitting in the lounge for a while, Cen Chunxuan briefly introduced the process to Wu Shaoting and handed him the oath draft in advance. He seized the time and prepared it, and then an emcee came to invite everyone to enter.

After a series of simple and serious preludes, Wu Shaoting walked onto the rostrum calmly under warm applause and focused gazes. Compared to standing in the same position a month ago, he had to sigh at the fleeting time or the rapid change of the situation. However, none of these matters, what is important is that he finally stood in this position.

After saying some opening remarks that are not light or serious, he also gave a few words seriously improvised. After that, Wu Shaoting corrected his attitude, restrained his expression on his face, raised his right hand under the guidance of Liang Qichao, and began to read the oath of office: "I am sincere and swear to the people of the whole country that I must abide by the Constitution, be loyal to my duties, and enhance the welfare of the people, and become a prosperous country in the Republic of China and do not bear the trust of the people. If I violate the oath, I am willing to be severely punished by the state. I am sure to oath!"

After the oath was read, the audience burst into applause again.

Cen Chunxuan stepped forward as the Secretary-General of the Senate and handed over the symbolic objects such as the Seal of the Grand Consort, the Seal of the Great Consort, the Seal of the Nine-Star Dragon Seal, and the Iron-Blooded Eighteen-Star Military Power Stick. Wu Shaoting took these objects solemnly and handed them to the attendant beside him to collect them. After that, Wu Shaoting stepped down from the podium and walked to the side to shake hands with the representatives of the Senate on the podium.

The audience was applause thunderous, the spotlight kept roaring, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Wu Shaoting signaled to the audience, and when he walked out of the Great Hall, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From the Great Revolution to the Second Revolution, from the Southern Union to the Battle of Sichuan, and then planning the action to pacify the three southwestern provinces for more than half a year. It has to be said that it has been a painstaking effort throughout the journey. However, everything has finally survived. He has completed the first phase of the plan, and what is about to be opened is the grand strategy of unifying the country.

Also on that evening, Wu Shaoting held the last military joint meeting at the Federation Hall, first issued several military appointments. In Guangdong, the commander of the Third Gendarmerie Division was transferred by Sun Jizhi, the chief of the General Staff of the Cavalry Division, and Ma Jinchun, the commander of the northern Guangdong defense, was promoted to deputy commander of the military police division.

Chen Jiongming resigned as deputy commander of the garrison army and was transferred to the position of commander of the 6th Air Combat Division of Guangdong and general political commissar of the 6th Division. The 6th Air Combat Division is still in preparation, but fighter jets, airboats and air force schools are all equipped. The most urgent task is to complete the expansion of division-level combat units bit by bit.

According to the military expansion plan secretly planned by Wu Shaoting in February this year, the 6th Air Combat Division will be equipped with a flight brigade (three squadrons under its jurisdiction, about one hundred fighter jets), an air craft brigade (nine "Grand Consul" class air craft), an air service headquarters (under the jurisdiction of a ground service regiment and an air combat infantry brigade).

The Air Combat Infantry Brigade is a conceptual army envisioned by Wu Shaoting. Its nature is similar to an airborne force. However, before transporting aircraft, airboats are transported and deployed. Of course, the height of the airboat is not suitable for parachute diving. It only uses the transportation performance of the airboat, and at most it is used to cooperate with mid-air rope sagging.

The preparations for the 6th Air Combat Division are a major project that not only requires a long time to invest, but also requires huge expenses. However, since this is Wu Shaoting's long-planned plan, he made up his mind to act. The Air Combat Division will become the fourth special division after the Cavalry Division, Gendarmerie Division, and Mountain Division, and its function is to target Taiwan, which is across the sea from Fujian.

Deng Keng resigned from his military position and was promoted to the head of the Grand Consort's office, and he was responsible for establishing the aide organization of the Grand Consort's office. Most of Deng Keng's previous military positions were handed over to Ni Yingdian for acting.

In Sichuan, since the end of the Sichuan War, although the two major forces of the Sichuan Army shook hands and made peace, they still acted independently and occupied different territories. In addition, the small warlord forces in Sichuan Province were sandwiched between the two, and there were always hidden dangers of big and small. Before, Wu Shaoting's attention had been on the issue of the two groups of troops from Yunnan and Guizhou, so he did not deal with these small warlord forces in time. Now that the government election has been successfully concluded, he naturally has to turn around and deal with these problems.

He ordered the General Staff Headquarters to send notices to the local armed forces of the Sichuan Army, inviting the leaders of the local armed forces to go to Chengdu as soon as possible, and to discuss the matchmaking of various factions at the General Staff Headquarters. The consultation is just a form. Under the scale of the Sichuan Army, Guangdong Army, Yunnan Army and Guizhou Army, these small warlords have little room for survival.

Wu Shaoting instructed the General Staff Headquarters to organize the troops of Sun Zhen, Tian Songyao, Zhou Daogang, Deng Xihou and others into a division, with the number being tentatively designated as the Fifth Division of the Southern Alliance. The training work of the entire division was handed over to the 7th Division Headquarters for supervision. Once the reorganization of the entire division is successful, it is planned to appoint Xu Haiying from the Guangdong generals as the commander of the division.

In Guangxi, the candidate for the commander of the Fourth Division of the Southern Alliance Army was delayed for some time. Since the 37th Division headquarters is currently being moved to Qiannan and Guilin needs someone to take charge of the coordination, Wu Shaoting decided to promote Liang Hongkai, the head of the Whampoa Military Academy, to serve as the commander of the Fourth Division of the Southern Alliance Army, and to serve as the original position; he also ordered Jiang Guangnai, the instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy, to serve as the deputy commander and also to serve as the original position.

The Fourth Division of the Southern Alliance Army, under the original five regiments, added a fourth teaching regiment, and the officers of the teaching regiment were drawn and transported by the first, second and third teaching regiments, trying to ensure that they are all talents from the second phase of Huangpu.

As for Yunnan, Wu Shaoting had already planned a candidate for the train returning to Wuzhou, appointing Cai E as the governor of Yunnan Military Affairs, Li Genyuan as the acting chief of civil affairs, governor and other new advisory boards to be nominated after the establishment of the new advisory council. At the same time, a group of young officers were promoted from the Yunnan Military Academy and reused:

The cavalry chief Zhao Youxin was promoted to the principal of the Yunnan Military Academy; the young military academic talent Yang Jie was the commander of the Kunming Police Force and the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Provincial Reserve; Zhu Peide was the acting commander of the Kunming Military Police Command and the chief of staff of the first division of the Yunnan Army; Fan Shisheng was the acting commander of the first division of the Yunnan Army, and was under the command of the Third Division of Gu Pinzhen.

These great figures in the future in the world of affairs have just graduated from the martial arts lecture hall, and have either remained in teaching or held middle and lower-level military positions in the military in Yunnan, Sichuan and other places.

This time, Wu Shaoting made an exception to promote them several levels. On the one hand, he deliberately won over them. On the other hand, he also hoped to replace the old blood with new blood, completely break the forces of the officers and groups of Tang Jiyao faction, and create a new level of order and rule in Yunnan. Although Lei Liefengxing's previous detention of Tang Jiyao and others and brought these people to Wuzhou without any hesitation, this move caused great shock within Yunnan Province, but at this time, Cai E was invited to take charge of the overall situation of Yunnan Province, which was enough to turn the tide and calm the complaints.

After a busy night, the Joint Military Conference finally ended. At the end of the meeting, Wu Shaoting announced in the name of the Grand Consul that the Joint Military Conference had completed its transitional mission, which was officially disbanded and took effect immediately.
Chapter completed!
