The uniform of the Youth Army is really very majestic and beautiful in terms of style.

  In the words of Wang Zhenyu, building a first-rate army starts with designing first-rate uniforms.

  Adhering to this principle, our Chief of Staff Yang recently handled matters with great diligence and immediately mobilized all the resources that could be mobilized. As a result, the agents at the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau received a very strange order: to search for the best fashion designers in all of Shanghai, and no matter what means were used - whether it was by offering high salaries or by kidnapping - they would all be sent to headquarters.

  The special agents who had been fighting silently on the front lines in Shanghai were immediately stunned. What was going on? Was Director He planning to change careers and become a tailor? In fact, He Jian himself couldn't help but smile wryly at Chief of Staff Yang's order. To be sure, the Military Intelligence Bureau's recent outstanding performance in the battles of Changde and Guangxi had significantly elevated its status within the Wang Zhenyu system. Even the big shots from the Youth Army would nod and greet him with respect, unlike before when they looked down on him. This made He Jian feel warm inside. Yang Wanguo was nominally the Military Intelligence Bureau's superior, but this old veteran seemed to know the general's taboos and never interfered with the bureau's affairs. This time was the first time he had ever given an order. He Jian didn't understand, but he had to give him face, so the special agents below were doomed to suffer.

  Although Xiangxi Daily has vigorously promoted Anjiang Model City as an important choice for young patriots, this does not mean it is a choice for tailors. When they hear about Anjiang, there are only two reactions in their minds: one is that it is desolate and backward, just like Xinjiang, can you make money by going to such a place? Two is that they simply do not know where this place is.

  Since then, the special agents at Shanghai Station had to change their profession and become kidnappers. During this time, many famous tailors in Shanghai went missing, and it was said that before they disappeared, people wearing black clothes and sunglasses visited them. The Black-clad Men caused a stir in Shanghai, and all the merchants were afraid of being visited by the Black-clad Men. An American living in the British Concession of Shanghai even wrote a famous science fiction novel called "The Black-clad Men" based on this rumor... Ah, I've digressed.

  Such a despicable tactic has been employed, with the help of those militaristic German devils from Li and Yang's company. If this young army's uniform isn't handsome, it would be a disaster.

  Military uniforms are divided into several types according to their use: armed uniforms, also known as parade uniforms or ceremonial uniforms; military uniforms, also known as everyday uniforms; and combat uniforms, also known as field uniforms.

  Wang Zhenyu is more concerned with armed uniforms and military uniforms because only these two types of clothing can be pursued with luxury.

  It should be the main body design or refer to German style and then integrate Chinese elements

  He Yingqin tried on a military uniform or a ceremonial dress with an eight-button metal clasp, a standing collar, no pockets, and two symmetrical wing-shaped decorations on the back of the waist. The sleeve tube has a decorative block consistent with the collar badge. The collar, front placket, sleeve tube, and rear wing all have branch-colored piping. When wearing military ceremonial dress, medals must be worn in their entirety.

  The uniform that Gu Zhenglun tried on was a combination of formal and combat uniforms, with features such as thick fabric, bottomed sleeves, five buttons, four horizontal pockets, and a six-button front closure. The collar, badge, and lining were all dark green in color. Although the two types of uniforms looked similar overall, they had distinct differences:

  1. Fabric: The uniform used silk-containing dense weave fabric that felt smooth to the touch, while the combat uniform was divided into two categories: thin breathable cotton for summer and thick woolen fabric for winter.

  2. Workmanship: The uniform adopted Western-style tailoring with almost no visible seams (except for pockets), whereas the combat uniform had no such restrictions and had visible horizontal and vertical seams on the surface. Additionally, the lining of the uniform was made of full-silk material, while the combat uniform only had a small amount of cotton padding in the front chest area.

  3. Detailed differences: Such as sleeve cuffs (uniform had them, but combat uniform did not), small holes for hanging leather belts (uniform did not have, but combat uniform did), sleeve mouth adjustment buttons (uniform did not have, but combat uniform did), expansion layers on lower pockets (uniform did not have, but combat uniform did), and the combat uniform's inner waist adjustment belt, medicine cotton bag, reinforced fabric blocks, etc.

  There are also clear regulations on the identification signs of military uniforms: the collar of the dress uniform for officers at and above the regimental level is all red; while those below the regimental level use dark green.

  The collar badges are mainly used to distinguish between different branches of the military, including infantry, artillery, engineer, cavalry, logistics, guard, medical and other troops.

  Military caps are also divided into two types: ceremonial and training. Those worn with dress uniforms still use the old-fashioned big-brimmed hat, with a dragon emblem on the brim and a blue plum blossom badge, which symbolizes the fragrance of plum blossoms coming from bitter cold; while those worn with training uniforms are simple canvas caps with a straight tube shape, which is really economical in terms of fabric.

  Wang Zhenyu looked at each one and was still very satisfied with Yang Wanguo's work. This is the kind of performance a non-war chief of staff should have.

  After watching all the samples and listening to the report on the construction of relevant systems, Wang Zhenyu rarely smiled and was about to praise Yang Wanguo for a few words. Just then, Wang Huai, the director of the Communications Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, came in with an urgent expression. As a result, Wang Zhenyu's words were stuck in his throat and couldn't be spoken out. Yang Wanguo, who was already prepared to enjoy a leader's praise, was even more depressed.

  Watching Wang Huai Shi hastily hand over the telegram to Wang Zhenyu, Yang Wanguo scolded in his heart: "You good-for-nothing Wang Huai Shi, don't you have any respect for me as the Chief of Staff? It's not easy for my boss to praise me once. Wait until you're transferred out of the Imperial Guard, I'll definitely send you to be a communications officer for the Dare-to-Die Corps."

  But Wang Zhenyu had no idea that Old Yang's belly was full of twists and turns. He scanned the telegram with a glance, and his entire face changed color uncontrollably. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped by three degrees. The officers standing around Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but shiver when they saw his expression.

  "Old Yang, you and your colleagues in the general staff have worked hard. I hope everyone will continue to work hard to build our youth army into a world-class military power at home and abroad. Everyone, do a good job! I have something to attend to here, so I'll head back to the command center first. Old Yang, come with me, okay? Everyone, keep up the good work!"

  As soon as Wang Zhenyu got on the Ford car, he handed over the telegram to Yang Wanguo: "This time it's troublesome"

  Telegram from Premier Xiong Xiling: President Yuan Shikai has decided to remove Cai E, the military governor of Yunnan. Under pressure and with the advice of his mentor Liang Qichao, Cai E resigned as military governor and went north to Beijing for a new appointment. Xiong Xiling hopes that Wang Zhenyu will consider the overall situation and follow suit.

  It is clear that this telegram was just a prelude to the formal appointment of Yuan Shikai, regardless of whether Wang Zhenyu agreed or not. The second telegram will be the death knell.

  Wang Zhenyu touched his own head, never thought that Old Yuan would play such a trick. Now Cai Yunbei has gone north, if he doesn't go to block the unification and destroy the republic, the big hat of hindering unity and damaging the republic will be put on his own head.

  After all, I'm still young, although I've been through two generations, but my political experience is still zero.

  The big shots of the National Socialist Party and the Young Military have been at odds with each other for a long time. In fact, it's not just Wang Zhenyu who lacks political experience. Almost no one present can come up with effective and reasonable suggestions.

  Wang Zhenyu silently watched his subordinates arguing with increasingly loud voices, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart. Yuan Shikai, that old scoundrel, no wonder he was infamous in history, it's all because of this old man's own doing. When he was in power, he kept causing trouble for others and only did things that benefited himself without contributing anything to society.

  In the past, when discussing history on forums, there were always some friends who liked to show off their novel views and accused the warlords of being unwilling to give up power and territory, hindering national unification. Even Sun Yat-sen and the Jiangxi Soviet Republic couldn't escape this criticism. Wang Zhenyu once deeply believed in these views and even came up with an even more novel view: when facing local separatist regimes, wouldn't Chairman Chiang try to move them with emotions and reason? Why use military force to complete unification?

  It wasn't until he became a powerful warlord that Wang Zhenyu realized these views were just nonsense. People who speak from a moral high ground can indeed spout rubbish. Let's not mention anything else, would you like to ask Wang Zhenyu, who has been deeply influenced by red patriotic education since childhood, to unconditionally give up his army, territory and wealth? Of course, you definitely would be willing to do so.

  This reminds people of a joke from the former Soviet Union: A foreign journalist asked a peasant, "Are you willing to donate your house for the sake of the Party?" The peasant replied, "I am willing." "What about your car?" "I am willing." "What about your cow?" "No, I'm not willing." "Why?" "Because I really have two cows."

  Since you are unwilling to move with emotions and reason, it is unrealistic. Except for completely eliminating the opponent's capital, there is no way to reconcile and make those who have benefited give up even a little bit of their benefits. This is probably human nature. Therefore, completing unification through civil war may be correct, while criticizing this approach seems truly ridiculous.

  If there was no bloodshed, would the British monarchy have willingly relinquished its immense power during the Glorious Revolution? Humans always progress by choosing the lesser of two evils.

  "Chen Shao, what kind of heart do you have? You actually suggested that the commander go to Beijing. I think you're just a traitor!" Yang Wangu shouted angrily.

  "That Chief of Staff, what do you suggest we do? Must we let the Grand Marshal be pointed at by thousands and have our weak foundation in Hunan and Guangxi destroyed by the punitive expedition? Ask Ye Gong how much money we can take out to fight a long war with the Central Government." Chen Shao did not back down and confronted Yang Wangu.

  Chen Shao suddenly turned his head and said to Wang Zhenyu, "Please consider the current situation carefully, General. To be honest, Chen Shao cannot withstand it."

  Everyone immediately stopped their endless debate and cast their eyes on Wang Zhenyu.

  "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest early." Wang Zhenyu nodded but suddenly came out with this irrelevant sentence and then left the conference room on his own.
