    Song Zheyuan, Tong Linge and Shi Yousan were also a little confused. They had not been the division commander for two days. Although they were promoted to the chief of staff of the mechanized group army, they only had one brigade that was not directly related to them, and the rest were all from the 3rd group army.  The troops coming over would have known about it earlier.  .  .  Why not go back and continue to command your five mixed brigades?  But obviously, the reorganized division no longer exists in the coalition's internal formation plan. The coalition's focus is on the coordinated formation and operations of a multinational force. For a while, these three guys couldn't figure out what the problem was. They simply didn't want to, let alone who dared to talk to the commander-in-chief.  To fight for the right to command those five brigades?

    For Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, this arrangement is just a transitional move before the missing tanks and armored vehicles are filled. It is estimated that the Dodge trucks purchased from the United States should be enough to upgrade these five brigades to a mixed force.  Motorized infantry brigades, when the time comes, the revolutionary work will be like bricks. Who knows where to move them? Besides, Kolchak and Soviet Russia are still fighting fiercely in the north. If necessary, these five brigades can always fight with the 1st Cavalry Army.  Going into battle on the northern front together is a good way to get the best of both worlds.

    In this way, after several twists and turns, the formation of the Central Front Army of the Allied Powers and the personnel appointment of the chief officers of each group army were decided. A total of six infantry groups were organized that were fully manned and ready to go into battle at any time. The three infantry groups Li Mingzhong, Zhang Weixi, and Xiong Shihui  A reorganized division commander of the Chinese 3rd Group Army, and three division commanders of the Japanese 1st, 2nd and 5th divisions, Kawai Cao, Kawauchi Reizo, and Fukuda Masataro, respectively served as commanders of the mixed infantry group army.  , the strength of each infantry group is approximately 47,000

    The four mechanized group armies that were subsequently formed were composed of Commander Jiang Fangzhen of the Chinese 4th Army, Giichi Tanaka, the commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Taro Utsunomiya, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Army, and Wu Peifu, the commander of the Chinese 3rd Army.  , these four also served as deputy chief of staff and deputy commander of the coalition forces respectively. Taro Utsunomiya and Wu Peifu also served as commanders of the Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army respectively. Each mechanized group army has a strength of approximately 49,000 people.

    As for the other remaining units of the Allied Forces Central Front, there are five Chinese mixed brigades upgraded to motorized infantry brigades with 65,000 troops, and the newly formed Central Front Cavalry 1st Group Army with 48,000 troops, plus 2 troops each.  There are nearly 50,000 people in the Ufa Group Army and Samara Group Army of the Federal Infantry Division.

    As of July 28, 1918, the total strength of the Central Front ground forces of the entire coalition in the Volga Federation reached an astonishing 640,000 people. Of course, four of the mechanized armies also had one-third of the tanks and armor.  The shortage of vehicles will have to wait until the equipment produced in August arrives at the front lines before they can be fully staffed. As for the future armored group army, it is obvious that sufficient equipment will not arrive and be established until at least the end of September.

    "Everyone, although we know that it is difficult to maintain complete confidentiality, the coalition command has repeatedly emphasized at the end of every operational meeting that commanders at all levels must know the importance of keeping their own military secrets. You are all federal and coalition forces.  Senior generals of divisions and brigade and above, this must start from yourselves. Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask, don¡¯t say what you shouldn¡¯t say. Regardless of what the Allied Forces on the Western Front are like, our Eastern Front Coalition must become a political  A well-qualified, militarily capable, well-disciplined, and well-supported force!¡±

    "Politically qualified?" A room full of Japanese generals pricked up their ears. Apparently they did not understand what political qualifications meant. However, since the day before the Chinese generals joined the army, they had "politically qualified, military excellence, good work style, and discipline."  "Strict and strict, strong support" and "Three Major Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention" have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every participating army officer as the army's founding ideology and support methods, so now I heard my commander-in-chief mention it again.  With these words, I couldn't help but have the illusion that I was back at the Nanyuan Base Teaching Group listening to the lectures of the young war supervisor.

    The commander of Japan¡¯s 1st Army, Tanaka Giichi, didn¡¯t understand what being politically qualified meant. This guy was wondering, does it mean that following orders in all actions means being politically qualified?  Or is it that the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces follows the lead in everything and is politically qualified?  This guy was hesitant to speak, wanting to ask but afraid of making a joke. The division commanders below, all in their early 50s, also looked at each other. The last four sentences are easy to understand, but what does political qualification mean?

    Wang Geng obviously also saw the confusion on the faces of the Japanese generals and a group of federal West Siberian generals. He smiled and turned to Jiang Fangzhen and said, "Deputy Chief of Staff, you were the head of the training group and chief of staff of our participating army back then.  The meaning of this sentence has been explained to the students of the teaching team countless times. Today you will explain it to everyone again. Without saying much else, just what is political qualification? "

    "Haha, Commander-in-Chief, you are really stumping me. I see it like this. Anyway, as long as you are a Chinese citizen, you have received these educations from the day you joined the war army. Who, Tong Linge, tell me, what does it mean?  Politically qualified? "Jiang Fangzhen has not lost his Confucian style and is determined to try his best.Now that you have become a brigade commander or a division commander, have you forgotten all about army building?

    Wang Geng also laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay! Tong Linge, if you can't answer, I don't think your division commander or chief of staff will be a division commander or chief of staff, and he will be directly assigned to clean the toilets in the coalition headquarters building!"

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief! The so-called political qualification means that every soldier must understand the responsibility he shoulders to defend the interests of the country, nation and people, and understand who he joins the army for and who he fights for! Protecting the homeland and the country is the  The sacred duty of each of our soldiers. Today we join the coalition to defend our country on a larger scale and fight for the peace-loving and democracy-loving people around the world! When we understand this, soldiers will have a sense of mission.  What is the right thing to do! This is political qualification!¡±

    Tong Linge was not ambiguous at all. After standing up and giving a salute report, he explained the meaning of political qualification in one breath. A group of more than 20 Chinese brigade commanders and division commanders couldn't help but applaud together. The Japanese and federal generals opposite understood.  After the translation, I couldn¡¯t help but applaud and shout, ¡°Happy!¡±

    "That's very well said! A soldier who is not qualified politically cannot be a good soldier. Only if you understand who you are fighting for can you have the necessary conditions to become a qualified soldier. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are in the military or how brave and tenacious you are in battle, you will not be able to be a good soldier.  You are just a fool who follows what you say. If you follow the wrong person and go down the wrong path, you will not only fail to contribute to the country and the nation, but you will also become a shame for the country and the nation. I hope every soldier in the coalition can understand this!  One thing! Remember that your parents are the people, and you have the responsibility to work hard for their welfare! "
