Chapter 86: The Kingdom of Heaven Falls Apart (8)

"Commander, I heard that we are going to Jiangxi?" Song Wu, the commander of the second brigade under Lei Hu, asked Lei Hu with excitement.

"Who said that?" Lei Hu couldn't help but ask.

After getting Wei Ze's reply, Jiangxi Lin Fengxiang's people left a deposit of 30,000 taels and immediately rushed back to report. The Liberation Army selected 150 12-pounder mountain howitzers, and the remaining artillery was left in the unit for mountain warfare. Everyone thinks that Lin Fengxiang is not a fortune boy, he gave Wei Ze 30,000 taels of silver, so it is impossible not to come to pick up the gun. The Guangfu Army also decided to send a force to transport artillery to Jiangxi, but as for who to send, it has not yet been determined.

So when he heard the words of his subordinates, Lei Hu was very unhappy in his heart. What is this nonsense? Even if it's nonsense, it has to be Lei Hu's nonsense, and it's not Lei Hu's turn to guide the country here.

Song Wu obviously didn't hear Lei Hu's displeasure, he said with a little mystery: "I heard that the division commander is going to be promoted to army commander!" ”

Lei Hu's eyebrows stood slightly, Song Wu was a very optimistic subordinate of Lei Hu, and the news he brought was indeed very "interesting". However, even if Lei Hu was very concerned about this news, he didn't like Song Wu's attitude at all. It's really annoying for a subordinate to tell his superior about his superior's promotion.

Song Wu obviously didn't understand Lei Hu's thoughts correctly, he leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "Division commander, someone said that you are going to be promoted to army commander, so I will hurry up to sue you." ”

Lei Hu was even more upset, he wanted to scold Song Wu, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it. Lei Hu sneered, "It's this kind of news again, it's not once or twice that I want to be the commander of the army." Who said this by drinking too much? ”

"Division Commander, it's really not fake news this time!" Song Wu hurriedly defended, "This is what the brother from the personnel department said. ”

Lei Hu originally wanted to talk about who spread the rumors, but when he heard Song Wu say that this was news from the personnel department, he calmly didn't have this idea anymore. The Personnel Department is an important organ in charge of personnel dispatch throughout the army. If the news can leak to such an extent, what are the people in the personnel department doing!

"Song Wu! I'll tell you something. Lei Hu said with a straight face.

"What's the matter?" Although he didn't know why Lei Hu was angry, Song Wu also felt that something was wrong.

"You didn't see me today! I haven't heard anything from you! Remember? Lei Hu said in a stern tone.

"Huh? Divisional commander, what's going on? Song Wu didn't understand what was going on at all.

Lei Hu didn't bother to talk nonsense with Song Wu, he called into the guards, "Confine Song Wu, when will I say release him, when will I release him again!" Go now! ”

Song Wu was blindsided at that time, and he took a step closer to Lei Hu with a puzzled expression, "Division Commander, what's wrong?" What did I do? ”

Lei Hu was even more angry when he heard this, and he shouted: "Are you following people, or are you going to let me tie you up and send you?" ”

The guard saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly came up and pulled Song Wu, "Brigade Commander Song, the division commander has given an order, you should go quickly." ”

Song Wu was also pungent enough, seeing that Lei Hu's serious expression was not joking, he exhaled heavily and strode out with a face full of annoyance. Lei Hu was also angry enough, he paced back and forth in the office a few times with his hands behind his back, and called in the adjutant again, ordering: "No one is allowed to see Song Wu, no one is allowed to talk to him!" Violators, found out will not be spared! ”

Seeing that the communications staff officer also hurried away with an expression of puzzlement and surprise, Lei Hu stopped. Standing at the desk with a lingering rage. Many people think that Lei Hu is cautious and cautious because of his defeat in Changsha City. That is of course a very important reason, and the other reason is the "map incident" during the Northern Expedition of Weez. Lei Hu was very optimistic about a cavalry backbone because he fell in love with a female leader of the Twist Army, so he stole a map for the Twist Army. After being presented, he was tried by a military court and shot. That incident made Lei Hu completely understand that Wei Ze was definitely not a person who could fool lightly.

Military tribunals, which played an increasingly important role in the Liberation Army, were also taken seriously by the troops at that time, and now the Military Tribunals and the Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Political Affairs are the objects of fear of the Liberation Army. The Disciplinary Ombudsman can decide a person's future, and a military tribunal can decide whether a person lives or dies. When encountering "troublesome people" in the army that Lei Hu can't solve, these two units can come forward to solve the trouble. With Lei Hu's character of knowing that he should be in awe, he actually likes these two units very much. And Lei Hu himself avoided being found in trouble by these two units.

Leaking military information without permission, especially regarding personnel arrangements, is a major taboo in the Liberation Army. Lei Hu wanted to fight for the commander of the army, and then consulted with his subordinates. It was an internal problem, and everyone wanted to be promoted. Just like when the Third Army was established, Lei Hu was a popular candidate, and he also hoped that he could become the commander of the Third Army. I also talked to my subordinates about strengthening training, and there are more recognized achievements. But this is different from the subordinates running to say that the personnel department wants to make Lei Hu the commander. To paraphrase Wei Ze's words in the political class, the former is a matter of self-motivation, and the latter is a matter of leakage. There has been a case of being shot because of a leak, and it is still a cavalry officer that Lei Hu is very optimistic about, and Lei Hu cares about it very much. Regardless of whether what Song Wu said was true or not, lock him up first and let him calm down, Lei Hu thought that this was a very necessary measure. If Song Wu doesn't know what to do and what to do everywhere, if he is now by the Discipline Supervision Committee, not only will Lei Hu be unlucky together, but Song Wu's future will be completely ruined.

Finally calmed down the anger, and the guards came in to report that Wei Changrong was here. Lei Hu hurriedly went to greet the commander of the First Army, and after the two sat down, Wei Changrong first kicked out the other people in Lei Hu's office first, and then said, "Lei Laohu, have you heard about the formation of the Fourth Army?" ”

"The Fourth Army?" Lei Hu's heart moved, and he said in an unexpected tone with half-truths: "How long has the Third Army been formed, and now the Fourth Army will be formed?" Military spending is not enough! ”

Wei Changrong replied: "The Third Army went to Qiongzhou, do you think they will come back?" Definitely stayed in Qiongzhou. And I heard that we are going to start forming military districts, one for each province. Qiongzhou is troublesome, so there will be its own military district. Guangdong and Guangxi certainly have their own military regions. ”

This is also quite reasonable, Lei Hu couldn't help but ask: "Then who will be the commander of the Fourth Army?" ”

Wei Changrong showed a little ill-intentioned expression, "Lei Laohu, are you asking knowingly?" Who has fought the most battles and contributed the most recently? Isn't it you? And you are the commander of a cavalry division, half a level higher than the infantry division! ”

The cavalry artillery in the Liberation Army belongs to the military units, and their level is half a level higher than that of ordinary infantry. The ranks of the Guangfu Army are actually quite ancient, although they did not make the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Zhou Ceremony, the school officers are divided into four levels, from major to colonel. In general, the regiment commander is a major, the brigade commander is a lieutenant colonel, and the division commander is a colonel. And the cavalry units are not quite the same as the artillery units. As the commander of the cavalry division, Lei Hu is a colonel. With just one further step, he could be promoted to major general. A major general can command the troops of an army, or be the chief of staff of the army, and he also holds a high position in the general staff.

If it was usual, Lei Hu was afraid that he would have become excited. But now that he had just locked Song Wu up and suddenly heard the news, what Song Wu said seemed very credible. This frightened Lei Hu, and if he dealt with a brigade commander, the brigade commander's immediate boss would not be better. Just when Lei Hu's heart was churning, Wei Changrong had already seen something, and he smiled: "It seems that you know something." ”

"I don't know anything." At this time, Lei Hu replied as calmly as possible.

Wei Changrong nodded slightly, "Lei Laohu, we don't have to say any nonsense." The governor talked to me, and I want to be the head of the personnel department. ”

"Transferring again?" Lei Hu asked in surprise. The movement of the Liberation Army is a very regular thing, and officers are often transferred between staff departments and commanders at all levels. But it has not been a year since the last transfer, and this transfer is very unusual.

Wei Changrong narrowed his eyes slightly, "You also know that I don't want to engage in personnel, but now there are people in the personnel department who are very bold." You don't know how to talk nonsense, and looking at you like this, you know that someone is going to make you a military commander. ”

Lei Hu was exposed to his thoughts, and couldn't help but shudder. But after a while, he didn't care anymore, he had a good personal relationship with Wei Changrong, and when it came to this, what else was there to be embarrassed about. Lei Hu raised his head and said in a calm tone, "Then what are you going to do with me?" ”

"You are really cautious, if you change to someone else, I am afraid that you will already think that the commander of the Fourth Army is none other than him. My fourth uncle, you said Lei Laohu, you are cautious, let me learn more from you. I was really convinced when I saw it this time. Wei Changrong said with a smile, but there was a bit of regret in his smile.

What he said made Lei Hu not quite sure what Wei Changrong meant, and he asked, "If you want to let me go, I have to ask if this is what you mean or what the governor means." ”

Wei Changrong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The governor asked me to be the head of the personnel department, just to dispose of people." The Governor didn't want to do anything to you, so let me talk to you. As soon as it was decided that you would be the commander of the army, there was a rumor outside. The governor can't help it, let me go to the personnel department to investigate. I talked to you before I checked it, just to let you know that this is not to take you seriously. It's that some people are doing too much nonsense. They have the courage to come out and say this kind of thing. ”

Lei Hu never, hearing Wei Changrong say this, he immediately said, "I have never asked people to inquire about such things, if I do, it is better for me to go to the governor and say, I want to be a military commander." ”

Beginning to talk about this matter, Wei Changrong softened his face, "If the Governor doesn't believe you, he won't let me come and talk to you about this first." But Lei Laohu, let's talk about it. Today you give me the truth, what do you know? And then the matter has nothing to do with you. But if you don't tell the truth about the ugly things that our brother said before, we will find out something later. I can't protect you anymore. ”

Of course, Lei Hu knew the reason for making Wei Changrong the head of the personnel department, and Wei Changrong was absolutely loyal to Wei Ze. He is best qualified to deal with people in such matters.
