In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly, and a dazzling ray of sunlight shone through the window on Zhang Xinghan's bed.

Zhang Xinghan opened his eyes, his head was still a little groggy, which was the sequelae of a hangover.

Blocking the dazzling sunlight with his hand, Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and looked at himself. He saw that his military uniform had long been replaced by a nightgown.

He opened the quilt and was about to get out of bed when the door creaked open and Wang Ruoying walked in carrying a washbasin and towel.

Seeing that Zhang Xinghan had sat up, Wang Ruoying put the washbasin aside, walked over with a smile and said: "Xinghan, are you awake?"

Zhang Xinghan sat on the edge of the bed, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, I'm awake. What time is it now?"

"It's already ten o'clock now, and the sun is almost shining on your butt." Wang Ruoying pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's ten o'clock? Have I slept for so long?" Zhang Xinghan's face turned red for the first time.

"Yes, you drank too much last night. I helped you change your clothes and you couldn't wake up." Wang Ruoying said and turned around: "Come on, wash your face quickly. Sister Zhou has already warmed breakfast for you twice.

Already."

Zhang Xinghan put on his shoes and came to the basin. Wang Ruoying twisted the towel and was about to wipe his face. Zhang Xinghan took the towel from her hand and said gently: "Honey, you are pregnant now, how can you still be pregnant?"

I want you to wait for me to wash my face, I can just do it myself."

Wang Ruoying smiled sweetly with happiness on her face, wiped her face, and Zhang Xinghan said: "The headquarters still has some urgent matters to deal with. The navy is about to be formed. I have to leave later."

"Don't be in a hurry, finish your breakfast before leaving, or I won't let you leave." Wang Ruoying ordered with a bit of a childish temper.

Zhang Xinghan smiled silently and followed Wang Ruoying out of the room obediently. Having a distressed wife was the greatest happiness for every man. How could he not be aware of his blessings despite being surrounded by them?

After breakfast, Zhang Xinghan walked out of his courtyard. The guards had already prepared a car, got in the car, waved goodbye to Wang Ruoying and others, and went straight to the headquarters.

When we arrived at the headquarters, it was already around eleven o'clock. Jiang Baili had already gotten up and was now working with several staff officers.

Seeing Zhang Xinghan's arrival, Jiang Baili put down his work and came out, smiling and greeting: "Commander, you are here."

"Here we are." Zhang Xinghan walked into the house, took out a cigarette, nodded and said: "How is it? How did you sleep last night?"

"Everything is fine. I just had a phone call with Minister Zang. He is in Changchun now. He said that he would take a train south to Jinzhou and take his staff to personally select qualified naval recruits." Jiang Baili said.

"Well, I can rest assured that you can do the work." Zhang Xinghan nodded and walked straight to his desk.

……………………

In the next half month, Zang Shiyi personally went into battle and led a group of recruitment staff to recruit as many new naval recruits as possible among the more than 100,000 captive soldiers in Jinzhou and other places.

Including the more than 3,000 people previously recruited, the total number has exceeded 10,000.

Zang Shiyi had just finished selecting the front leg, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili also announced the specific reorganization and transformation plan for the 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners that they had discussed in half a month.

The specific content is as follows: 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners were temporarily reorganized into seven reorganized divisions, numbered 211 to 216.

Among them, as long as you have not done anything extremely sinful, you can freely choose between serving in the military or returning home after being discharged.

Those who remain will be paid according to the military pay of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's active troops.

Those who return home from the army will be given twenty yuan for travel expenses.

Of course, in order to reflect their personal character as much as possible, the announcement also states that officers and soldiers who are willing to stay and continue to serve as soldiers can each receive different holidays based on the distance between their station and home, so that they can go home more easily.

Visiting parents and relatives.

This announcement has been issued, and the number of 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners who have voluntarily stayed to continue serving as soldiers has exceeded 100,000.

They are professional soldiers themselves. Being a soldier is their profession and they depend on it for a living.

If they don't serve in the military and all of them are discharged from the army, it will be difficult for them to find a job to survive for a while.

What's more, the pay and treatment of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the overall military superiority of domestic warlords are even better than those of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army.

It is enough for them to support their families. The most important thing is that the Northeast Border Guard is a heroic force of the whole nation.

Everyone is proud to be in this army, and the sense of honor that is deeply loved and admired by 40 million people attracts and stimulates any passionate soldier.

In order to ensure his control over the seven newly formed reorganized divisions, in addition to using the excuse of recruiting new recruits, he sent a group of people with dual identities from the Secrecy Bureau and soldiers to serve in each of the seven reorganized divisions.

Zhang Xinghan also transferred some middle-level officers and soldiers from each division on the pretext of transferring former middle-level officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army to Longxing Military Academy for further studies.

Of course, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Zhang Xinghan's actions were not too big. He also appointed Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan, Shen Ke and other former Northeast Army generals as division commanders.

If you want to isolate them, you can't rush them, you have to do it step by step. Otherwise, if you push too hard, trouble will easily arise. Zhang Xinghan understands this.

After the seven reorganization divisions were formed, they were all stationed in Jinzhou, Liaoyang, Dalian, Chaoyang, Huludao, Yingkou, Dandong and other places in Liaoning.

To strengthen and enrich the military strength of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force in South Manchuria.

At the same time, this deployment can also dispatch enough reinforcements to deal with sudden changes in the situation in the Koryo Peninsula or the Pingjin area within the pass.

It can also strengthen the defense force in the coastal areas of the Bohai Bay to prevent possible Japanese attacks from the sea in the future.

After completing the reorganization of the captured soldiers, Zhang Xinghan felt a big stone fall in his heart, and the reputation he had worked so hard to accumulate was maximized at this moment.

Only a handful of the 110,000 Northeastern officers and soldiers were unwilling to truly surrender and retire. The vast majority of them chose to change their banners and became glorious members of the Northeastern Border Guards.

In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was happily watching the reorganization of the captured troops when a rush of footsteps came. He looked up and saw Chief of Staff Jiang Baili walking in with a smile, his steps were very fast and he was beaming with joy.

"Chief of Staff, what happened? Seeing that you are so happy, could something good have happened?" Zhang Xinghan asked casually.

Jiang Baili suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Sir, you guessed it right. Something good has happened. Miss Alice just sent someone to inform me that the first batch of retired British Empire naval officers and sailors she recruited for us have entered."

From the East China Sea, we can reach the Bohai Bay in a few days."

"Really?" Zhang Xinghan stood up in surprise when he heard this. So, our navy will be established soon."

Jiang Baili smiled and nodded.

Zhang Xinghan stood up and walked a few steps, then muttered: "In this way, when our navy was just established, what we lacked the most was talents with experience and understanding of manipulation. We first set up a navy crash course at Longxing Military Academy and asked Alice to find them.

The retired navy officers who came here came to the crash course to serve as naval instructors for us.

While training new recruits, we are building a naval force."

"Well, this is a good idea. I think it can be implemented." Jiang Baili added: "This way we can have enough time to purchase warships."

"Don't worry about the warship, I have my own way." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone.

"If you don't have any other instructions, then I'll go and do the work first?" Jiang Baili asked tentatively.

"Well, you go ahead. I have to go to Lushun, so I'll leave this place to you." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a nurse walked in quickly accompanied by a guard.

He saluted Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili in a dignified manner and said: "Report to the commander, chief of staff, and Battalion Commander Guo. Battalion Commander Guo is awake."

Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Is what you said true? Is it true?"

"Well, it's true. He just woke up and I was ordered to come and report to you." The little nurse nodded repeatedly.

"Great, take me to see him quickly." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Baili and said, "Chief of Staff, I'm going to see Zhongzi first. You're busy."

After saying that, he followed the little nurse and walked out.

I drove the nurse all the way to the field hospital. The two guards guarding the door saluted immediately when they saw Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan didn't even bother to return the favor and rushed into the hospital like a gust of wind.

When I arrived at the ward where Guo Zhong was staying, I saw a nurse concentrating on changing his dressing.

Zhang Xinghan did not rush in, but stood outside the door, planning to wait for the nurse to finish changing the dressing before going in.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned his head and saw Zhang Xinghan standing at the door.

He suddenly became excited and wanted to stand up. When the wound was touched, he immediately grinned in pain. The nurse who was changing his dressing was startled.

Zhang Xinghan walked in quickly, and Guo Zhong endured the severe pain in his body and wanted to get up to greet him.

"Zhongzi, let me sleep well, what are you doing?" Zhang Xinghan said in an unquestionable tone and stopped his movements.

Guo Zhong looked anxious. The severe pain made him sweat all over his head and said: "Commander, I am unable to get up because of my humble position. Please forgive me."

"Stop talking nonsense, just lie down and let the nurse change the medicine for you, and then we can talk." Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and supported him.

Guo Zhong nodded gratefully, lay down, and waited for the nurse to continue changing the dressing.

Maybe Zhang Xinghan was on the register, so the nurse seemed a little nervous. Guo Zhong frowned when the pain hit him several times. However, in front of Zhang Xinghan, he was a tough guy, so the pain was bearable.

After a long while, the little nurse said with sweat dripping: "After changing, be sure not to move around, rest more, and recuperate."

While talking, he was packing his tools.
