Francis Xavier would not make the same mistake. He would train professional talents in both military and political fields.
Moreover, the high-level officials that Fang Jian relies on are all clones given by the system, and the power is always firmly in their hands. It is still possible for him to achieve unity between the military and the government.
Although it is still impossible to avoid some corrupt officials and some people with vicious personalities occupying high positions and oppressing the people.
But as long as a complete supervisory agency is established, the harm caused by these people can be minimized. Even in modern times on Blue Star, it is impossible to eliminate corrupt officials who provide protection for evil forces, let alone in a backward place like Diyuan Star.
Many things cannot be achieved overnight, just like sowing seeds in spring. It is impossible to harvest right after planting. It takes time to improve slowly.
Therefore, Fang Jian was not in a hurry about this. Being too anxious would often lead to many problems and more hidden dangers.
Time flies, and it is June 6th. Fang Jian was handling official business in his office when Tao Yunong came to report: "Commander, Lin Zongde defeated the northern army's reinforcements, and Lu Rongqing sent troops to Zhuyang."
"Lu Rongqing has indeed sent troops." Upon hearing the news, Fang Jian stood up, his heart beating.
Although I had expected it, I was still a little touched when I actually heard the news.
Fang Jian tapped the table with his fingers and shook his head gently: "This Northern Expedition should end here. Let Changhuan City be prepared. After the Northern Army enters Sanjiang Province, it only needs to defend the Yanping line."
"Commander, with such a good opportunity, won't the Northern Army take advantage of it to attack the New Southern Army?" Tao Yunong asked puzzledly.
Fang Jian shook his head slightly: "Three armies of the Northern Army were annihilated in this battle, and other troops also suffered a lot of losses. It will not be good for the Northern government to continue fighting."
"Besides, Lu Rongqing, Yang Shude, and Xue Chengguang are not easy to mess with. The Northern Army will wait for both sides to fight to the death, and then reap the benefits after the result."
"Directly participating in it will not only severely damage the new southern army, but will also reduce the pressure on Lu Rongqing and others, and will also cause a lot of losses to the northern army."
Seeing Tao Yunong nod slightly, Fang Jian instructed again: "Yunong, pay close attention to the movements of these parties."
Sure enough, as Lu Rongqing attacked Zhuyang, Lin Zongde had no choice but to withdraw his troops from Sanjiang. At the same time, Jiang Changkun also withdrew from Heyuan.
After Wan Congsheng retook Sanjiang Province, he only actively arranged defense lines and did not attack Jiyang or Changhuan.
As Lin Zongde's main force retreated, Lu Rongqing's troops switched to defense and fought several battles with them. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they withdrew from Zhuyang.
Lu Rongqing, Yang Shude and Xue Chengguang formed a joint defense line in the south, which made it difficult for Lin Zongde and Xu Weigong to gain any benefits, and they withdrew their troops soon after.
In this way, time passed quickly and three years had passed.
During the three years, Nanshan Province entered a period of stable development, with mining, steelmaking, machinery manufacturing, and various heavy industries being established in an orderly and complete manner.
Chen Shuhe also discovered a large amount of oil in Nanshan, which made Fang Jian very happy.
In three years, the Nanshan Military Factory produced a large number of equipment, including more than a thousand Tiger King heavy tanks, more than 34 T-109 tanks, 29 Bf-12 fighters, B- bombers, and XF- reconnaissance aircraft. There were also countless other light and heavy weapons.
The number of armored divisions and air force was expanded to more than 20,000 people.
Two years ago, Fang Ji'an and Yang Xueru developed feelings for each other through constant contact and held their wedding in Nanshan. A year after their marriage, Yang Xueru gave birth to a son for Fang Ji'an and named him Fang Zhaosheng.
In the headquarters office, Fang Jian was looking at a map. Tao Yunong walked into the office and reported: "Commander, this year the first batch of students from the Military Academy and the Political Science and Law College will graduate. Will you attend the graduation ceremony?"
The academic system of the Military Academy and the Political Science and Law College was temporarily set at three years. Later, Francis planned that the school would start in September each year and graduate at the end of June. After that, the enrollment of new students would be in September every year.
Of course, the first batch of students was special. They enrolled in mid-February, and they stayed in school for a total of three and a half years.
"Time flies. The first batch of students are about to graduate." Fang Jian said with a smile.
Over the past three years, the political and legal training class has trained several batches of students, so that the legal, tax, industrial and commercial and other departments in Nanshan have completely established the framework.
In addition, a police school was established in Nanshan, and police from all over the country selected a group of good men from the army. The soldiers of the garrison divisions that had been sent to various places were all recalled.
After sighing, Fang Jian shook his head gently and said, "I won't attend the graduation ceremony."
"Yu Nong, send a message to Guo Xuan. You and Guo Xuan will be in charge of the military academy. Arrange the students who are willing to stay in Nanshan to various positions. Ji Wu will arrange the political and legal college."
Tao Yunong hesitated and said, "Commander, there are more than a thousand students in the first term. If we arrange for all of them, I'm afraid there won't be enough positions."
"It doesn't matter. I plan to form two more army divisions and one armored division." Fang Jian had already made arrangements for this.
"Half of the officers of the newly formed army divisions will be drawn from the original seven divisions, and the remaining half will be military academy students."
"As for the armored division, upgrade the existing armored division to a corps, with two divisions under it, namely the 1st Armored Division and the 2nd Armored Division."
During the three years, the troops had undergone continuous military training, and the seven divisions were truly elite. Moreover, the number of reserve forces increased every year, and the number of reserve forces had increased from the initial 50,000 to 120,000.
This time we are going to expand the troops and we will select them directly from the reserve forces. These reserve forces have also undergone rigorous training and are not inferior to the seven regular divisions.
"Yes, Commander." Tao Yunong responded and went down to carry out the order.
A division requires about 600 officers, and two divisions require 1,200 officers. Half of the officers will be drawn from other troops, and at least 600 military academy students will be needed.
Although there were more than a thousand graduating students in the first term, it is unknown how many of them are truly willing to stay in Nanshan.
On June 19th, Tao Yunong and Zhuang Jiwu had already made a statistics and found that there were more than 800 army officers willing to stay in Nanshan.
The School of Political Science and Law also has many students from other places, and more than a thousand of them are willing to stay in Nanshan, including more than a hundred women. With these people joining, the number of grassroots government personnel in Nanshan Province will be greatly increased.
When Fang Guoxuan, Tao Yunong and Zhuang Jiwu came to report the number of people counted, Fang Jian nodded slightly.
"Jiwu, you just need to arrange the arrangements for these students, and you also need to carry out the supervision of local government officials."
Although there was monitoring of government employees before, as long as the behavior was not too extreme, it was not dealt with seriously. Only those who were extremely extreme would be arrested and brought to justice.
Now that new students are graduating and they need to be promoted, it is time for these old employees to give way. If these corrupt officials are not punished, how can they make room for the promotion of new people?
Zhuang Jiwu immediately assured: "Don't worry, Commander. The Discipline Inspection Commission has already been established and has collected a lot of evidence of officials' crimes."
“Before, due to a lack of talent, there was no large-scale punishment, but afterwards the Commission for Discipline Inspection strictly enforced its functions.”
