Chapter 59: Tricks
Tang Cheng deliberately said his suggestion very generally, he knew that with Zheng Wenshan's brains, he would never be able to think of how much benefit this suggestion could bring. "Captain Tang, Brother Tang, tell us about this carefully! You also know that we are all big and coarse, and we don't know how to do it. Zheng Wenshan and the others looked at Tang Cheng with a smile, being able to get the appreciation of the bigwigs above, that means being promoted and getting rich, no one wants to be promoted and get rich!
"Chongqing Station, my search team, and your garrison regiment can completely join forces. Your garrison regiment guards the passages in and out of Chongqing, the Chongqing Station of the Military Command provides operational support, and my search team is responsible for searching in the city and providing intelligence support for the Chongqing Station. As long as the three of us can ensure that the Japanese puppet spies in Chongqing City do not dare to come out and do things, you say, can the bigwigs above pretend that they don't know anything? Tang Cheng dared to say this at this moment, naturally he had his confidence, just one insight technique was enough for Tang Cheng to quickly find out the spies in the city.
Tang Cheng's proposal to join forces with the three parties is actually not the first time it has been put forward, and when Tang Cheng, who felt that the garrison group was cooperating well in the city, had put forward this suggestion, but it was perfunctory by the garrison regiment at that time. Tang Cheng mentioned this three-party joint effort again at this moment, Zheng Wenshan and the others had already changed their minds, carefully pondering Tang Cheng's previous words, Zheng Wenshan and the others felt that cooperating with Chongqing Station and the search team was also a good way out.
However, Zheng Wenshan and the others did not express their position on the spot, only said that they would go back and think about one or two, and Tang Cheng did not force them to make a statement now, and the meal of killing pigs was quite pleasant. "I heard that you have a younger brother who takes care of the elderly in the country?" On the way back to the barracks after dinner, Tang Cheng suddenly asked about the situation at Lao Fu's house. "You are not bad now, you should think about taking them all into the city to live, it is not enough to have only one Gaosheng Hotel in the east of the city, I am going to open a few stores in the east of the city, and then call your brother to take care of one, the rules are the same as others."
Lao Fu, who was driving in the front row of the car, was overjoyed when he heard this, although his little brother was not short of food and clothing in the countryside, but he could move into the city to live, and he could take care of a store as soon as he came, and his life should be better in the future. Tang Cheng gave Lao Fu a benefit, which was a reward for Lao Fu, if Lao Fu hadn't dragged himself to the labor camp outside the city today, maybe the meeting with those guys in the garrison group would have been missed, and he would not have had his own lobbying this time.
How Zheng Wenshan and the others would choose, Tang Cheng could basically guess that there was no big problem with these people in the garrison group, they just liked to be comfortable. If they are dragged to the battlefield, they may not be able to be deserters, but the combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment may also be used as cannon fodder by front-line commanders. can continue to stay in Chongqing, on the one hand, enjoy a comfortable life, on the other hand, you can have the opportunity to be appreciated by the big guys above, if Zheng Wenshan and they reject Tang Cheng's suggestion, then they are really sick in the brain.
There was still an hour before it got dark, and Tang Cheng, who had already returned to the barracks, received a call from Zheng Wenshan. Zheng Wenshan basically agreed to Tang Cheng's suggestion on the phone, but there was one point, Zheng Wenshan refused to streamline the existing strength of the garrison regiment. "Battalion Commander Zheng, I am not suggesting this to reduce your military power or limit your troops. It is an indisputable fact that the quality of the personnel in the garrison regiment is uneven, and the proposal to downsize the personnel is aimed at those who are not suitable to remain in the garrison regiment. ”
"You are a local, you should know that if you want to block the passage in and out of Chongqing, you can't do it with just a few small forces at the company and platoon level!" Just when Zheng Wenshan mistakenly thought that Tang Cheng still wanted to persuade him to reduce the strength of the garrison, Tang Cheng on the phone suddenly changed his words, and the content of his words surprised Zheng Wenshan. "The garrison regiment has reduced its personnel, but it is necessary to first eliminate those who are not suitable to stay in the garrison regiment, and there are a large number of young people who have received a certain amount of military training in the student training camp on the outskirts of the city, and they will be the best choice for the garrison regiment to recruit new recruits."
The student training camp outside Chongqing was not originally a full-time system, but after the second round of the crackdown, led by Wang Bingzhang and Zhang Jianghe came forward to make an appointment, the student training camp outside the city has basically evolved into a semi-military training camp similar to a junior military academy after a round of expansion. The bad students who used to chase chickens and dogs in the city schools were all forcibly sent to student training camps outside the city, where not only military instructors but also teachers received high salaries.
In the original student training camp, the students who participated in the training camp were only taught some basic military training, but now in the student training camp, the students not only have to receive military training, but also have to study cultural courses. Chongqing is a mountain city, but there is no shortage of discerning people in the city, after the expansion of the student training camp, the first batch of students still need to be forced, and the second batch of students recruited last month has greatly exceeded the number of the first batch.
Most of the instructors of the student training camp are from the garrison regiment, how could Zheng Wenshan not know the situation of the student training camp, through Tang Cheng's reminder, Zheng Wenshan immediately reacted. "That's right! The student dolls outside the city are also locals in Chongqing, helping their hometown to do things, and their parents should not be able to stop them! It's just that the age of many of them is not enough for recruitment! At this moment, Zheng Wenshan is not only surprised, but also worried.
Tang Cheng chuckled softly when he heard this, "You are stupid! I didn't say that you want to recruit all the students into the garrison, you won't recruit those who have reached the age first! If you are not old enough, you can form a student platoon first! They can't do anything else, it's still okay to do some logistics work, and if the parents of the students see that their children are productive and can do responsible things, will you have fewer soldiers in the future? ”
The Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and the adult children of the Sichuan army were almost all transferred, not only those with military status left Sichuan, but also many senior students also chose to join the army. The garrison regiment is a local defense force, and if the garrison regiment starts recruiting students from the student training camp, in a sense, it can be regarded as preventing these students from being confused and sent to the front line to be used as cannon fodder in the future. Tang Cheng didn't tell Zheng Wenshan his true purpose, but he knew that Zheng Wenshan, a cunning fox, would definitely understand his intentions when he could.
Tang Cheng's suggestion was quickly told by Zheng Wenshan to the other officers of the garrison that as long as they could ensure that they had enough troops in their hands, they didn't really care whether they were recruiting student soldiers or not. A few days later, when Tang Cheng led the search team to track and monitor the target of a Japanese spy again, the garrison regiment, which had always made a fortune, finally began to take the first step according to Tang Cheng's suggestion--- streamlining and downsizing its troops.
The entire garrison regiment was only 800 men, and in just one day, more than a quarter of the soldiers were reduced, and the next day, the garrison regiment, which had a large shortage of personnel, began to recruit new recruits from the student training camp outside the city. The garrison regiment played this trick, so that the old and young in Chongqing City were dazzled, on the one hand to streamline the troops, on the other hand, but immediately recruited new soldiers, many people could not understand which of the garrison regiment was playing.
"I said that you kid is really bold enough, and in the matter of the garrison regiment, you dare to stretch out your hand even a little sheriff?" Zhang Jianghe, who got the news, almost didn't hesitate, and immediately called Tang Cheng, who could only rush to Zhang Jianghe's office immediately. As soon as he saw Tang Cheng, Zhang Jianghe's originally not good mood instantly became worse, and Zhang Jianghe, who was full of anger, seized this opportunity and reprimanded Tang Cheng fiercely.
"Uncle, your old man is also angry, and you can't blame me for everything!" Tang Cheng, who was reprimanded, was not annoyed, but just spread his hands at Zhang Jianghe and said with a smile. "I went to the labor camp outside the city that day to relax, just in time to kill the pigs there, so I stayed and waited to eat the pig-killing rice. As a result, I didn't expect those guys from the garrison regiment to also go to the farm, and that incident was the casual conversation at the dinner table at that time, and I didn't expect them to take it seriously. ”
In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't admit that the matter of the garrison had a lot to do with him, even if Zheng Wenshan and they had already recruited, Tang Cheng would not admit it. Although he couldn't tell Zhang Jianghe the truth, Tang Cheng still had to hint to Zhang Jianghe if there should be. "Uncle, in fact, the matter of the garrison is not a bad thing! For example, if it were not for the help of the garrison regiment, with the help of your Chongqing Station and my men, the strike-hard operation might not have been successful. ”
"Compared with the veterans of the garrison regiment, the student soldiers are better managed, and they are enthusiastic and educated, and they accept new things faster, which is very important for the stability of Chongqing." Tang Cheng's hint was not obvious, but he bit the words on the word stability. Zhang Jianghe's reaction was not slow, he glanced up at Tang Cheng, and saw Tang Cheng's face that I didn't know anything, Zhang Jianghe could only pout helplessly, trying not to look at this face that upset him.
It happened that Zhang Jianghe was disgusted at the meeting, and Tang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart, "Uncle, you carefully ponder whether this is what I said?" Although the training of the student soldiers is insufficient, their overall quality is stronger than that of the old soldiers, and they can be trained if they lack ability, not to mention that the garrison regiment does not need to be dragged to the front line to fight. The most important one, these student soldiers, are all natives of Chongqing. Using Chongqing's local soldiers to handle local affairs, I believe that those sneaky people in Chongqing will never find an excuse to counteract. ”
