The issue of legitimacy is a matter of great importance. In fact, if you carefully read the books of the Republic of China, whenever someone wants to rebel against the central government, they first need to establish what kind of army they are, such as Cai E's protection or Zhang Zuolin's peacekeeping, etc. No matter how much they twist and turn, they must have a legitimate name, otherwise they will be labeled as rebels (can one still rebel under the banner of loyalty?)

  So tonight Wang Zhenyu must finalize the issues of Guoshadang, otherwise if there is any fluctuation, his own foundation will be ruined.

  The 21-storey Xiangxi Hotel in Anjiang has been contracted by the German company Lihua Yanghang and construction has started, but before its completion, military and government personnel coming to Anjiang on official business can only stay at the six-storey Anjiang Hotel.

  The door to room 304 of the Anjiang Restaurant was pushed open and Colonel Shen Zongshi, head of the Jingzhou Security Brigade, walked in with a gloomy face. His wife immediately stood up from her wooden chair and asked: "How's Quan? Can we see him?"

  Shen Zongxi looked at his wife's expectant gaze and could only smile wryly in distress.

  Today, Shen Zongyi's mood should be fine. While Wang Zhenyu and others were busy attending the party affairs meeting, the Hunan Western Security General Team held an expanded security forces meeting in the conference room of the Hunan Western Military Academy. All officers above the regimental level attended.

  As Guangxi is about to be liberated (Wang Zhenyu thinks so), more security troops will be formed. The latest plan is to establish eight security brigades in the eight prefectures of Guangxi, which means that many people within the security system will face promotion and transfer issues.

  Shen Zongxi is within the scope of promotion. According to Commander Hao Bing, who presided over the meeting, if he is willing to go to Guangxi for work, the scope of promotion will be even greater.

  Wang Zhenyu summoned Hao Bing, his former subordinate, on the train back to Anjiang and had a private conversation with him for over an hour. According to Wang's plan, a Hunan-Guangxi-Anhui Security Command Department would be established, with Hao as the commander, and three security brigades would be set up in western Hunan, northern Guangxi, and southern Guangdong, each with 12 battalions. The personnel selection would be decided by Hao and reported to Wang in a timely manner. Another hope of Wang's was to separate the security troops from the current garrison system and not have them join the party army that was about to be established. This required the security system to have its own officer school, such as the Security Command Academy, and its own police or military ranks, with treatment levels one level lower than those of the future party army.

  Hao Bing became spirited after being received by the Grand Marshal, and the three main teams and twelve branch teams were enough to have 36,000 men and horses. Wasn't he equivalent to the commander of a field army?

  So after the military review ended, Hao Bing borrowed a piece of land from the military school and gathered all his subordinates to hold such a meeting.

  "Everyone, take note and write it down in that little notebook. From now on, we'll be a family. According to the general's intention, we'll have our own military school and our own officer promotion system. After this big expansion, everyone must work hard and lead their teams well, don't disappoint the general's efforts."

  The officers below heard the news of expansion and were also excited, although not everyone can make great strides forward, but at least those who are lucky enough to be at the regimental level have good luck, those who are unlucky are at the divisional level, and the deputy commanders are also in this situation.

  Recently, Long Yunfei, who had been showing off in front of Da Shuai, was even more confident that he could become the captain of a branch team. So he turned his attention to Shen Zongyi, the old leader he had been following. It wasn't until then that he discovered that unlike the excited crowd around him, Old Leader Shen seemed unhappy and even looked depressed.

  The latest personnel appointment plan has been released:

  Tian Shouhai took over as commander of the Xiangxi General Team, Li Wenbin was transferred to be the commander of the Guinan General Team, and Hao Bing personally took over as the commander of the Guibei General Team. Because the next development plan is set in Liuzhou, the military rank will not be changed for the time being. According to the general's thinking, this may have an adjustment.

  Shen Zongxi was transferred to be the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Anping Guilin North General Team, which is the only one among the three general teams with a concurrent post. Long Yunfei was transferred to be the commander of the Liuzhou Branch Team, which is a very good arrangement. Shen Zongxi did not exchange any opinions on this appointment with his confidants such as Long Yunfei. He had a lot of worries in his heart and went home without delay after the meeting ended.

  "Yes, it's been almost five months since we last saw Quan'er. Now our Xiangxi Group's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the authority of Da Shuai is also getting heavier and heavier. It's not like I, this small branch leader, can see him whenever I want to. As for Quan'er, don't worry about his life, I saw him today at the military parade ceremony, he was being held by Da Shuai together with Shao Shuai." Shen Zongyi could only tell his wife the truth.

  Wife and child heard that the youngest son was fine and even attended the ceremony with the general, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank heaven, thank earth, Buddha bless"

  Then she suddenly saw her husband's gloomy face: "Master, why are you so unhappy?"

  Shen Zong looked at his wife, took a deep breath and sat down on the wooden chair with a thud: "Things will turn against you when they reach an extreme. How can I be happy? Just now, after my promotion, we are going to take Er'er to Liu Zhou for our new posting."

  "Old master, this is a good thing, why aren't you happy?" Madam Shen was even more surprised.

  Shen Zongxi rubbed his face with his hand and said, "Who told you that getting promoted is a good thing? The higher you stand, the faster you fall. Have you forgotten about the Boxer Rebellion? General Shang took in Ruan'er as his adopted son, I thought it was to use him as a hostage at first, and I felt sorry for our Ruan'er. But over the past year, General Shang has been extremely fond of Ruan'er, treating him like one of his own. Maybe this time my promotion is also thanks to Ruan'er's influence."

  Madam Shen was even more confused after hearing her husband say this: "The general being good to Quan is a good thing, what's wrong with that?"

  Shen Zong sighed and said, "You don't know what a big deal happened today because you didn't go out. The General's wife was scolded by the General because of her younger brother's affair, and the entire Ye family was affected. But when the General held Ruan Er and Shao Shuai today, all the people who saw them were shouting 'Long live Shao Shuai!' We know in our hearts that they are cheering for the grandson of the Ye family, but how will the Ye family see it? Hopefully, the Ye family is busy protecting themselves and won't stir up trouble. Otherwise, our Ruan Er would be wronged."

  Shen Zongxi is worried about his son as a father, while Wang Zhenyu is busy discussing the final framework of the National Socialist Party with a group of big shots.

  The guiding ideology has clarified its political position and naturally it is the issue of organizational framework next.

  "My idea is very clear, our party should set up branches in every province and then set up counties under each province. After we complete the national unification, we will abolish the prefecture-level setting and set up provinces and counties directly. This can avoid the problem of an overly large government. Therefore, within the party, we must first build a perfect central organization to organize and lead this layout.

  Wang Zhenyu talked for a long time, probably feeling thirsty, he drank a cup of water. This is also one of Wang Zhenyu's habits when attending meetings. This habit has influenced people around him. Because Wang Zhenyu doesn't like smoking, his subordinates can't smoke during meetings either. Everyone knows that smokers who don't smoke for a long time will have a very uncomfortable throat. So, over time, drinking tea during meetings became a habit to soothe the throat. Moreover, Xiangxi is famous for its tea production, and this tea is always available in abundance."

  Wang Zhenyu continued: "There was a basic framework before, but it only involved party affairs. Today, we will improve this framework. First, the system of the National Congress of the Party or the Central Committee system. The composition of the Central Committee is mainly composed of responsible comrades from the central and local party departments. A plenary session is held every October, and a new term is held every four years. A tone is set, and all personnel matters involving central responsible comrades must be approved by the Central Committee. So, outside of the plenary session, our party's daily work is handled by a standing body called the Central Committee Standing Committee. The number of standing committee members is temporarily set at seven. Second, a Revolutionary Military Commission is established, with one chairman, two vice-chairmen, and four full-time commissioners, totaling seven people. Third, a temporary central leadership is established for the time being. My plan is to hold the party's first national congress in the fifth year of the Republic of China to elect a more representative and more suitable central committee."

  Wang Zhenyu also considered this as a monologue. Like Bai Chongxi, they only knew about the matter when they arrived at the meeting. Even if there were opposing opinions, it was unclear where to start. As a result, all the attendees except for enthusiastically raising their hands and feet in support of the establishment of the National Socialist Party's temporary central committee did not know what else to do.

  Wang Zhenyu smiled as he looked at each of the attendees. This was exactly the effect he wanted. As for people's hearts, wait until the National Socialist Party is established and let everyone taste the sweetness of power. Those present will naturally follow the party without hesitation.

  Now that we've reached this point, we're just about to enter the final main topic, which is the core issue of the entire party affairs conference: personnel issues.

  First is the list of members of the Central Standing Committee:
