"Have you ever heard that Mi Feng's request that the local security forces be subject to military law management has been directly controlled by the military?" After hesitating for a long time, Wu Feng finally spoke.
Mo Lun was a little surprised. This was not a big deal. The military had the power to train local security forces and command during wartime, but the power to manage daily operations and personnel was with the local government. This was originally what the Tanghe Empire had formed since the founding of the country. Conventionally, due to the unclear power and responsibilities between the military and local governments, the security forces were overstaffed, poorly trained, low in combat effectiveness, and in disarray in military discipline. These conditions existed throughout the empire. In some places, these security forces even became a recognized part of the local government. Harmful. In contrast, most of the security forces in the northwest were reorganized and reorganized after Wu Feng took control of the northwest. The situation is much better than within the empire, but of course it is still far behind the regular troops. Originally, the power to supervise the military discipline of the garrison was generally carried out by the supervisory departments of local departments. However, due to the dual leadership status and special nature of the local forces, it is actually difficult for the supervisory departments to play their role. This has also led to the dispersion of military discipline in the local garrison. . Mi Feng's request at this time was not an excessive request. It could only be said that he was too energetic, had trouble in his eyes, and wanted to operate on the local security forces. This is what Molun thought.
"Is your lord just worried about this matter?" Mo Lun asked in surprise. He really didn't think there was anything worth worrying about Wu Feng.
"Well, I want to hear your opinion." Wu Feng was undecided.
"The key depends on how your Excellency views this matter, or what concerns you have about this matter." Mo Lun thought for a moment, and realized that the matter would definitely not be that simple. He still had to explore Wu Feng's tone, so he asked cautiously.
"The Director of Military Justice is originally a hot position in the army. He has the power to handle the military justice of the entire army. Although Mi Feng is doing a good job in this position, but now he wants to bring the local security forces under his jurisdiction. I am a little bit Worry." Wu Feng's face was calm, nothing unusual could be seen.
"If your Excellency is worried that Mi Feng has too much power, there is no need to worry about it. My personal opinion is that although Sir Mi Feng is in charge of the military law of the entire army, he is only a functional chief officer in the military. In terms of real power, he is far less than the four major Any corps commander in the corps, or even a division commander, plays a role of deterrence and supervision over every soldier in the army, including those military generals who hold heavy troops, and is responsible for preventing and preventing various hidden dangers and bad behaviors. It plays a very good role in containing the signs. I think his role should be strengthened." Mo Lun seemed to understand Wu Feng's thoughts. He slowly expressed his views carefully and carefully: "As for the local security forces, they were originally there. This aspect of military law management is a bit vague, and it may be much more efficient to leave it to the Military Law Office and the Military Police."
"Molen, I'm not talking about the issue of Mifeng's excessive power. I'm worried that he has made too many enemies in the army, and now he has to take over the power that originally belonged to the local area. This will definitely cause a lot of conflicts in the local area. Will this put too much pressure on him?" Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quietly changed direction.
"Sir, there is no need to worry about this. It is imperative for the army to improve discipline. I also found that after the Northwest Army experienced several battles and multiple expansions, discipline has become a problem and needs to be rectified. Mi Feng himself He has an old-fashioned and rigorous personality, and there are no ambiguous factional relations behind him. He is the best candidate for the military law director. Even if the regiment commanders and division commanders have some opinions, they are just grumbling. He has adults to back him up. , that’s when people use their talents to their best advantage.” Mo Lun casually revealed a hidden danger in Wu Feng’s army.
Military factions are a problem that every leader has to face and have to face. The same is true for Wu Feng. In fact, there were signs of it a few years ago when Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu took charge of two divisions respectively. At first, it was just because They were not convinced by each other and had some disputes. However, as the army continued to expand and the areas under control continued to increase, the members of the army gradually became more complicated. From the rebels in the northwest to surrender, the reorganized rebels to the surrender of the Taiping Sect, In addition, starting from the separation of the Qingyang First and Second Guard Divisions at that time, the seeds were secretly planted.
But Wu Feng is not too worried about this. For an army to become monolithic, it does not depend on whether there are factions in the middle, but on whether these so-called factions can be unified under one leader and whether they can fight for the same benefit. Military factions Healthy competition between the two can stimulate enthusiasm and shame in the army. If used well, it can even greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Of course, this requires a strong leader to control it. Wu Feng thinks that he is here Nothing to worry about at all. Just like two saw blades, if used well, the saw teeth can be aligned with each other and become a sharp weapon. No matter how bad it is, the saw teeth can cooperate with each other and become a piece of iron. The worst of course is that the saw teeth become saw teeth against saw teeth, with constant contradictions. This result is also unacceptable to Wu Feng. From the current point of view, although there are already factions in the Northwest Army, everything is within Wu Feng's expectation and control. Wu Feng does not intend to change. There may be some conflicts and competitions that are more in line with his own ideas.
As Mo Lun said, with Mi Feng as a chess piece, he can more conveniently control the internal chess game and balance the power and relationships of all parties. It should be said that letting Mi Feng serve as the director of military law is a clever move, but if Mi Feng is allowed to If Feng gets involved in affairs such as the local police force, causing dissatisfaction with the local power Domi Feng, will it affect his own layout
"As for the local forces, I think the local government has also long hoped to use the military judicial organs to eliminate the chronic problem of discipline in the security forces. At least we in Qingyang support it, although the discipline in our security forces in Qingyang is not bad. In addition, in fact Everyone understands that Mr. Mi is just enforcing military law on your behalf. I think smart people will not come to take advantage of this limelight or take offense. This should be a good result for all aspects, and you don’t need to worry. "Mo Lun figured out his boss's thoughts and finished his thoughts in one breath.
Nodding silently, Wu Feng agreed with Morun's statement that Mi Feng should be given greater power in terms of military law management, whether in the regular army or local troops, using the deterrent power of the Military Law Office and the Gendarmerie to suppress those bad actors. Inducements and other unfavorable factors far outweigh the effects of solving these problems personally. The Military Justice Department and the Gendarmerie are just cards in one's hand. When to use them, you need to choose according to the timing.
This guy Mo Lun really understands him. He only needs to tap a little and he will immediately understand the meaning. It's a pity that this guy is extremely disgusted with those privileged institutions. Otherwise, he is really a material in this area and he doesn't know how to be good at it. How could these seemingly incompatible things, such as conspiracies and intrigues, his strong political views and demands for limiting the power of secret power agencies, and the mess of his personal private life, be concentrated on the same person, watching Molun's pudgy figure disappear? Outside the door of his study room, Wu Feng shook his head in disappointment.
Several figures walked nimbly on the hills far away by the lake. Due to the dense forest, the movement speed of these people was not fast. Looking from the mountains, the endless water surface was as calm as a lake, and even water birds were rare to see.
"Old Lei, it seems that the security here in the northwest is quite strict. We went around in such a large circle and encountered several patrols in a row, but they were still close to the target." A magnetic female voice panted slightly, probably high. The intensity of exercise made her a little tired.
"Well, I guess you should be able to see it if you climb over the mountain ridge in front. I didn't expect that the location of this Navy base in the northwest was really well chosen. It actually chose such a secret location. There is only one major road leading in. If you want to make a sneak attack , but you have to go over mountains and ridges, it is difficult not to be discovered by the other party." The answer was a man's voice with a loud voice, "It seems that Li Wufeng is indeed ambitious. Since he did it in such a secret, of course he did not want outsiders to know the situation. It seems that It took some thought.”
Passing over the hill in front, several figures immediately knelt down and saw a tall lookout post, which was exactly at the highest point of the flat land adjacent to the lake. Weeds and trees with a radius of several hundred meters had been cleared away. It must be clean and tidy. A small military camp is stationed behind the guard tower. Two sentries are patrolling everywhere vigilantly. The crossbows and longbows hanging on the guard tower are in the best preparation state and within reach.
"Hey, these guys also have a guard post here and a pair of defense camps?" the woman asked quietly, turning her head.
"Well, these guys are very vigilant, and there is no leakage. It seems that our trip was in vain. It would be too easy to expose ourselves as we move forward. These guys are really willing to spend their money. All the trees and grass in this area have been They were uprooted, and not even a hare could escape the eyes of the two lookout posts." The energetic man observed carefully for a while before saying, and then looked at the cliff on the right, "There should be more people stationed in the barracks behind. It’s difficult for a small group of soldiers to cross.”
"Then let's forget it?" the magnetic female voice replied, seemingly unwilling to accept it, "I haven't even seen the shadow yet."
"There's no need to take risks. It's hard to tell whether Li Wufeng is a friend or an enemy. If you want to risk passing through, you can only crawl along the gap in the cliff over there, and it is still within the control range of the lookout post. If you encounter someone more vicious, give him If we shoot an arrow, the gain will outweigh the loss. Anyway, we already know the general situation. This Li Wufeng is not just a bird, he has a big appetite. Looking at this posture, we can also estimate that the scale of this place will not be small. "
