At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finished lunch and started to return to the venue.
Unlike the administrative meeting in the morning, the military and political meeting in the afternoon was more confidential. Many people who were not related to the military and political affairs were arranged in another venue to communicate and exchange ideas with the administrative personnel.
The representatives related to the military and politics sat neatly in the meeting room, and the afternoon meeting was chaired by Su Tianyu himself.
At the beginning of the meeting, Su Tianyu went straight to the point and began to announce the allocation of various military and political positions.
Like the administrative department, all armed forces under the Huatonghui were brought together again and collectively called the Huatonghui Renmin Army, which was uniformly managed and commanded by the Huatonghui.
First, Zhao Weihu, the former commander-in-chief of the Chi Army, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Huatonghui Renmin Army.
Everyone had no other thoughts about this decision. Whether in terms of qualifications or combat records, Zhao Weihu was a well-deserved military leader.
Building the Chi Army from scratch to its current size is enough to demonstrate Zhao Weihu's military command ability and personal charm.
It can be said that he deserved the title of commander-in-chief of the Renmin Army, and everyone was convinced.
As for the chief of staff of the Huatonghui Renmin Army, Su Tianyu himself served as the chief of staff.
Before this, Su Tianyu actually wanted to give this position to someone else, but Lao Li, Zhao Weihu and others firmly opposed it. Because they all felt that no matter who took over, they would not be able to handle the work of reconciling multiple forces.
This position can only be held by Su Tianyu. Only he can mobilize resources from multiple parties, including the Blackwater Legion of Bana City that was not incorporated, the An system, forces outside the region, and so on.
If Lao Li is the big mountain behind Huatonghui, then Su Tianyu is the core of Huatonghui, closely connected with all the forces involved.
After announcing the positions of these two people, the next thing to look at are the subordinate military units.
The Huatonghui Renmin Army has a total of two army-level organizations, and Xin Xiaodong is the commander of the first army.
Xin Xiaodong was originally the commander of the Third Division under the First Corps of the Longcheng Garrison. Not only did he receive specialized military education, but he also had considerable practical experience.
In the battles of Bana City and São Paulo City, Xin Xiaodong performed very well. Especially in the battle on the border of São Paulo City, he saw through Gustav's strengths and weaknesses at a glance, decisively launched a general attack, disrupted the opponent's rhythm, and laid the foundation for victory.
In addition, this person is also good at robbing money. This passive skill has solved a lot of troubles for Su Tianyu, so his appointment was not unexpected.
The Chief of Staff of the First Army was Chief Wu of the former Third Division. When the Third Division defected, Chief Wu, as a core figure, helped to make plans and cooperated with Su Tianyu's plan, which allowed the Third Division to leave the city smoothly.
He also participated in the subsequent battles, silently offering advice and suggestions in the staff group, helping Xin Xiaodong to make plans. It can be said that he was also a backbone of the Third Division.
When announcing the appointment, Xin Chaojie gently patted his old staff officer on the shoulder, and everything was said without words.
Next is the Second Corps, with Liu Shu as its commander. Liu Shu is a close subordinate of Zhao Weihu. He has been fighting with Commander Zhao since he first formed the army, and is one of the few officers who have survived to this day. He rose from the commander of the main regiment to the commander of the division, and his ability is beyond doubt.
The troops under Liu Shu's command were mainly the strength of the Chi Army. This force had its own unique characteristics, and it was the most suitable and effective one for Liu Shu to manage.
The chief of staff to assist Liu Shu was Fei Pingsheng. Old Fei had proven his ability. Although his military accomplishments were a little worse, his ability to coordinate and develop teams was very strong.
Moreover, when he was incorporated into the Second Army, Lao Fei brought a lot of people with him. Originally, Su Tianyu wanted to fight for a position of military chief for Lao Fei, but Lao Fei was wise enough to know that his military ability was not enough and he wanted to learn more, so he declined Su Tianyu's kindness.
In addition to these two legions, Su Tianyu also announced the appointments of the remaining personnel.
Among them, the first independent combat brigade was formed based on the Wang family’s armed forces and managed by the Wang family themselves.
In addition to the Wang family, some other scattered groups of the Huatong Society formed the Second Independent Combat Brigade, with a total of approximately 5,000 people.
Jin Maohui led an armed force of seven or eight thousand people from the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, withdrew from the police system of Longcheng, merged into the Huatonghui Renmin Army, renamed it the First Special Operations Brigade, and stationed its base in Bana City.
This armed force has been receiving training from the Black Water Corps and can be said to be very versatile and extremely powerful. For the Chinese Tongren Min Army, it is equivalent to a sharp knife.
The brigade commander was naturally Jin Maohui. Like Su Tianyu, he was Lao Li's right-hand man. He personally led the troops to participate in offensive battles many times. Both his ability and loyalty were impeccable.
The rest was the logistics support group formed by Sun Wei and others, with Sun Wei himself as the group leader. This reinforcement group also had a large number of people, about three to four thousand, most of whom were the Sun family's own team.
Although it was just logistics work, Lao Sun was quite happy after hearing it. He knew his own abilities very well. He would leave the front line to those capable and brave generals. He would still have meat to eat if he did a good job in logistics.
At the same time, under the Huatong Renmin Army, there was only one military intelligence system, the Quantong Bureau. Apart from them, all other military intelligence systems were abolished, and the personnel were incorporated into the Quantong Bureau, which was managed part-time by Su Tianyu himself.
At this point, the Huatong Association was officially established on July 1, 80, and everyone took a group photo in front of the banner.
…
At six o'clock in the evening, in a small port town on the outskirts of Longcheng.
In a spacious courtyard, the ground was filled with boxes of all sizes, all filled with daily necessities.
A tall girl, sweating profusely, was carrying the supplies one by one to the car nearby together with other workers.
After moving one truckload, the woman sat on a box at the side, took the calculator from her neck, and counted the number.
"Sister, it's time for dinner!" Just as the woman was counting the food, a colleague's voice came from the room.
"Coming!" The woman finished calculating the bill in her hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead, then got up and walked into the house.
On the table in the living room, there were plates of rice from a large pot. Six or seven workers were sitting at the table, wolfing down their meals.
The woman took off her black gloves and had just taken two bites of the steamed bun when she suddenly heard the roar of a car outside.
Then, a man outside yelled, "Hurry up, load the next batch of goods!"
"Another car has arrived. I'll eat later." The woman put down the steamed bun, put on her gloves again, and walked out the door.
As she reached the door, the woman was stunned.
Yu Mingyuan was standing at the gate of the courtyard, also staring at her in a daze.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Yu Mingyuan spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "Long time no see..."
