The plan creates a new executive office led by War Minister Ho Ying Chin, abolishes the Peiping military council branch, and shifts authority to a military affairs commission chaired by Chiang Kai-shek. It also names Gen Bung Cheh Yuah to head an autonomous northern state as pacification commissioner for Hopeh and Chahar, and orders the dismissal of Yin Ju-Keng, demilitarized zone administrator and anti-autonomy official.
