At that moment, Chen Shi said: "Principal, if you think you have merit, you should be rewarded, Sun Liren has made such great achievements in Hanyang, if he is not rewarded and promoted, I am afraid that it will not be able to be said, and it is easy to chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies!" ”

"The rhetoric is right!" Principal Chang said happily, "Sun Liren must be rewarded and promoted." ”

As soon as they heard Principal Chang's words, He Yingpei and Xu Yongsheng immediately reacted, after all, they are also human spirits.

At that moment, Xu Yongsheng continued: "In my opinion, the anti-smuggling corps will be upgraded from the brigade level to the division level, and Sun Liren will also be promoted from the captain of the major general to the captain of the lieutenant general......

Speaking of which, Xu Yongsheng couldn't take it anymore.

Because he saw that Principal Chang's face had darkened.

Seeing Principal Chang's sudden change of face, Xu Yongsheng suddenly reacted, the Anti-Smuggling Corps is actually not an armed force belonging to the Military Committee, objectively speaking, it is still inextricably linked with the old commander Song Ziwen, and this is a violation of Principal Chang's taboo, Principal Chang has always had a monopoly on military power!

Thinking of this, Xu Yongsheng couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth!

Seeing Xu Yongsheng deflated, He Yingpei and Chen Shidun felt secretly refreshed.

At that moment, He Yingpei said: "Principal, I think that Sun Liren has built the anti-smuggling corps into such a heroic and combative army, so it is really a bit overkill to leave this armed force under the command of the Ministry of Finance and only use it to detect smuggling, so I think that the anti-smuggling corps should be included in the establishment of the military committee and given a new name." ”

"Hmm!" Principal Chang's face softened, and he nodded happily, "This is the words of the old man who seeks the country!" ”

He Yingpei continued: "According to the humble position, it is better to incorporate the anti-smuggling corps into the new 38th Division of the Army, and Sun Liren will be promoted from the captain of the major general of the anti-smuggling corps to the lieutenant general of the new 38th Division, what does the principal think?" ”

"I think so." Principal Chang nodded happily and said, "However, after Sun Liren is promoted to lieutenant general and division commander, it is a little inappropriate to be tied with Chen Jingan and Liu Futing, and I am afraid that he will have to be given a new identity." ”

Chen Shi immediately understood when he heard this, because what Principal Chang said was about seniority, which was a routine operation.

For example, after the Battle of Songhu, Song Xiyao, the commander of the 36th Division, Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the 87th Division, and Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, were all promoted from division commanders to soldiers.

But with Luo Zhuoying as the commander-in-chief of the group army, there was no extra vacancy for a while.

Therefore, Principal Chang invented the position of corps commander, which is between the army commander and the commander-in-chief of the group army, so that a difficult problem is solved.

Now that Sun Liren has been promoted from the major general of the anti-smuggling corps to the commander of the new 38th Division, it is not suitable to be placed alongside Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing and other brigade commanders, so he has to be given a new identity.

Moreover, Chen Shi, who is known as the chairman of the committee, knows President Chang's mind very well, and he even understands the deeper intention of President Chang's move.

Principal Chang is going to moisten things silently and begin to divide the alliance between Sun Liren and Zhong Yi!

At that moment, Chen Shi said: "The principal is right, Sun Liren must be given a new identity." ”

After a slight pause, Chen Shi continued: "It's better to do this, set up three defense zones of Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang under the Wuhan Garrison Command, with Zhu Liangcheng as the commander-in-chief of the Hankou Defense Region, Sun Liren as the commander-in-chief of the Hanyang Defense Region, and Zhong Yi as the commander-in-chief of the Wuchang Defense Region. ”

"This is a good idea!" Principal Chang nodded happily, in this way, not only can he drive a wedge between Sun Liren and Zhong Yi, but he can even further create some contradictions between Zhu Liangcheng and Zhong Yi!

In this way, before the Luojia system has time to form a climate, it is very likely that it will be stillborn!

……

At the same time, in the fortress of Turtle Mountain.

All the officers above the battalion level of the Anti-Smuggling Corps, the 1st Garrison Brigade, the 2nd Garrison Brigade, and the 3rd Garrison Brigade had gathered at the underground headquarters of the fortress, and Zhong Yi was giving a lecture.

Zhong Yi said: "Gather you together today, two things. ”

After a pause, he continued: "First, in the battle of Hanyang, your four brigades fought very beautifully under the command of Captain Sun, and I will show credit to the command for you!" Second, as for the outstanding performance of the tank battalion in last night's battle, after you go back, you will immediately issue a gag order, and no one will be allowed to mention it again in the future! ”

Dozens of troop commanders attending the meeting were awe-struck by the words, and they responded in unison.

After speaking concisely, Zhong Yi got up and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

After sending off the participating troop commanders, Sun Liren said to Zhong Yi again: "Ziren, I know that you issued a gag order so that when you use the tank battalion again in the future, there will still be suddenness, but I am afraid that this secret is difficult to keep!" ”

"I know that." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "But what if you keep it a secret?" ”

"Okay." Sun Liren spread his hands and said, "Also, why do you say that the Battle of Hanyang was commanded by me?" Is it clear that you are in command of this battle? It's true that I need to be meritorious, but I will never rob you of your merits! ”

Zhong Yi stared at Sun Liren and said very seriously: "I did this for two reasons, first, even if I said that the battle of Hanyang was commanded by me, the headquarters would not let me be promoted again!" Because I am not from the Whampoa department, it is already the end of my journey to the brigade level of major general, and it is impossible for Principal Chang to let me be promoted again! So, instead of cheapening others, it's better to give you this battle exploit! ”

Sun Liren shook his head and said, "Ziren, you are not from the Huangpu family, am I the same?" Like you, I'm not on Principal Chang's list of reusables! ”

"You're not like me!" Zhong Yi said, "You still have a chance to be promoted!" ”

Sun Liren shook his head and said, "This is just one of them, and what is the second one?" ”

Zhong Yi didn't answer and asked, "Brother Fumin, what do you think of the statement that Luojia is a family?" ”

Sun Liren was stunned when he heard this, although the word of the Luojia system had already spread all over the city outside, but Zhong Yi, who was the core figure of the Luojia system, had never mentioned it in front of him.

But today, Zhong Yi finally mentioned it in front of him!

However, Sun Li had already made a decision in his heart, and said solemnly at the moment: "Brother Ziren, I hope that the Luojia system really exists, and I also hope to be able to become one of them!" ”

"Good!" Zhong Yi stretched out his hand to Sun Liren and said solemnly, "Brother Fumin, from now on, you and I still have good achievements to be the iron triangle of the Luojia system!" From now on, you and I must help each other! At no time and under any circumstance can we tear each other down and fall into the ground! ”
