Chapter 152: Not a Warlord Is Better Than a Warlord
After three days of multiple rounds of meetings, the parties finally reached a consensus. In the face of some things that Hu Biao insisted on, the foreign generals who participated in the meeting could only choose to agree in the end. When the news came out, the generals also looked at Hu Biao differently.
Considering that the Japanese army was pressing on the British colonies step by step, the Nationalist Government finally chose to transfer two combat troops with more than 100,000 troops from Yunnan Province to the British colonies and began to undertake the task of covering the colonial army and blocking the Japanese army.
After signing the corresponding contract, Yamashiro, who received the news, also expressed extreme surprise at the results of this meeting. Originally, in Lao Jiang's view, foreign generals spent money on equipment and definitely hoped to have the command of the troops.
But the final result was unceremoniously blocked back by Hu Biao. This also meant that once the expeditionary troops entered the British colonies, they only had to obey the orders issued by the previous commanders. Any order must be approved by the general of the army.
After listening to Dai Li's report, Lao Jiang sighed and said: "This kid is really capable!" It seems that he should have grasped the weakness of the foreign army, knowing that at this time the foreign army has not much choice but to accept our request! ”
"Yes! can be replaced by other people, and I guess I don't have the courage like him! ”
Everyone knows that the British colonial army cannot resist the attack of the Japanese army at present, but there are really few generals who really dare to talk to foreign troops about conditions. After all, many people in this era are afraid of foreigners.
The agreement was signed, and the troops that had been secretly assembled began to enter Yunnan Province one after another. According to Hu Biao's proposal, more officers and soldiers from the southwest were selected for the selection of officers and soldiers from the southwest of the army, which could better adapt to the environment of the colony.
With such a large-scale troop mobilization, it is naturally impossible to hide the attention of the Japanese army. Knowing that the Nationalist Government had decided to send troops to the British colonies, the Japanese army, which was winning victories, also felt a little pressure.
The commander of the Japanese army, who was in charge of the invasion of the British colonies, immediately ordered the front-line combat units to speed up. Strive to capture Dagon City, which was the most important city of the British colonial army, before the expeditionary army enters the colony.
Compared with other expeditionary troops, it is necessary to rush to Yunnan Province for reorganization and training first. Hu Biao, who was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Joint Command and the commander of the National Independent Division, had already quietly entered the British colony with his own troops.
Knowing that the requisitioned troops had arrived, Hu Biao immediately said: "Order the new regiment to be reorganized in Zhenning Mansion first." When the reorganization is over, I will give them new orders. During this time, familiarize yourself with the environment and equipment! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
The new regiment of the so-called independent division is actually Lin Zhenyuan, who Hu Biao specially asked Dai Li to transfer, and the main regiment under his command. After receiving the order from Shangfeng, Lin Zhenyuan also knew that he had no choice but to lead a new group to rush over.
After a rapid march all the way to Zhenning Mansion, Lin Zhenyuan, who immediately received an order to rest and recuperate, looked at his subordinates and said, "The division headquarters has come to order!" Our regiment will rest here first, waiting for the next combat order! ”
"Tuanza, why do I think this place seems to be no different from our country? On the way here, I found that the road conditions here seem to be much better than those in China. This place is really the territory of foreign devils? ”
"What are you doing so much? Tell the brethren that it is our luck that we have been assigned to the independent division this time, and we may also need to fight a tough battle. In short, hurry up and rest, it is estimated that there will be a lot of battles to be fought in the future! ”
"Yes, Tuanza!"
Regarding his relationship with Hu Biao, Lin Zhenyuan didn't tell too many people. Two days after entering the barracks, the sentry in charge of the guard immediately said: "Tuanzao, there is a convoy outside, and there is a major general!" ”
"Okay, I got it! That's the convoy that sent us supplies! ”
When he came to the barracks and saw Qin Tianyou who reported his home, Lin Zhenyuan also said respectfully: "Chief of Staff Qin, you are just transporting supplies, how dare you bother to run in person?" ”
"That's it! Although it was the first time we had met, it was not the first time we had worked together. Shizuo had already gone to the front line, and he couldn't get out of it for the time being, so he specially asked me to make a trip. In addition, you will be granted a few days off! ”
"Leave of absence? Take my vacation? ”
"Hmmm! Rest assured, if you want to come back, you will be able to come back in the evening. If you want to rest for two days, you can also stay outside the barracks. Mrs. Shizuo and her son, when they learned that you were coming, they had moved to live in this manor, and they estimated that they would stay for a few days! ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhenyuan was stunned and said, "Okay, I know!" I'll go with you later! ”
"Make it clear to your subordinates that we will not interfere too much in all the affairs of your regiment. But there is one thing that needs to be reminded, and that is that you don't want anyone to do anything other than eating inside and out. After all, independent divisions are not the same as other units! ”
"Understood! I've stressed this many times on the way to this! ”
"Okay! I won't say much about the rest! The weapons brought in this cart are all for you to rewear. Although the equipment of your regiment is also good, in order to facilitate combat and supply, you are still equipped with individual equipment of little devils.
In addition to this, the division seat also specially ordered to replenish an artillery battery for you. If you are a company commander, we will send someone to serve as the deputy company commander and other officers, and you can choose an officer with artillery experience from the regimental headquarters to serve! ”
"Yes!"
When the new regiment was all summoned, Qin Tianyou, as the chief of staff of the major general, also welcomed the officers and men of the regiment on behalf of the independent division. As the first unit to enter the colony, the regiment commanded by Lin Zhenyuan was also officially under the command of the Independent Division.
Looking at the weapons and equipment that were being moved down from the car one after another, the officers and men of the whole regiment looked a little greedy. Even if the equipment of their regiment is good, it is naturally still a lot worse than the new equipment provided to them by Hu Biao.
After saying these words, Qin Tianyou continued: "Regarding this expedition, I believe that Commander Lin has also told you, and we will be brothers who eat in a pot from now on. And your pay will be the same as that of any other expeditionary army.
It's just that the welfare of our independent division is a little better, and you are the first batch of troops to go out. Therefore, the division seat personally ordered that you be paid three months' military salary in advance. Now, let Captain Lin pay you!
Here I would like to emphasize that there has never been a rule that independent divisions eat the blood of soldiers, and whoever dares to covet the military salaries of soldiers will be subject to military law once they are found out. If the circumstances are serious, the severe punishment of shooting will be directly given!
Of course, considering that officers have to support their families, the independent division will also give officers more generous treatment. Don't envy others, independent divisions are judged by their military merits. Those who can go up, those who can't go down, and if you have the ability, you can be an officer! ”
When they heard that the three-month military salary was still paid according to the standard of the expeditionary army, many officers and men felt full of excitement. Compared with the excitement of the soldiers, although the officers felt a little regretful, they did not dare to say anything.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, they are assigned to the combat sequence of an independent division, and they must follow the rules of an independent division. Even Lin Zhenyuan didn't say anything, and the rest of the officers dared to say more?
Officers with real backgrounds and paths left the regiment long before they were drafted. The officers who are now following Lin Zhenyuan on the expedition are all Lin Zhenyuan's direct cronies without exception. To put it simply, they share the honor and disgrace with Lin Zhenyuan at the moment.
When boxes of the current ocean were carried to the command platform, the soldiers who began to receive their salaries according to the roster looked at the salaries that had been issued to them, and everyone looked a little excited. This standard is much higher than before in China.
"Thank you, Tuanza!"
"I want to thank the division seat and the chief of staff!"
"Thank you, Master and Chief of Staff!"
As the commander of the new regiment, Lin Zhenyuan didn't know that this was Hu Biao's first step to buy the hearts of the army. Fortunately, he is also a soldier lover, and he knows that most of these soldiers in the regiment are not very good, and it is rare to receive so much military salary at one time.
Considering that the number of people was a bit large, Lin Zhenyuan finally called the four battalion commanders under his command to the command platform and asked them to help distribute military salaries. After the military salary was distributed, Lin Zhenyuan also told these officers and soldiers that the money could be saved or sent.
Even, at the reception banquet that night, Lin Zhenyuan also directly told the officers under his command: "Brothers, you have accompanied me from birth to death for many years, and this time you have accompanied me out of the country, and it is still unknown whether you can go back in the end."
Here, I will confess one thing to you, the seat of the independent division is actually my brother-in-law. In addition, you should have all heard something about him, he is Hu Biao, the commander of the dead soldiers battalion who defended the presidential palace back then. ”
"Ahh Tuanza, Battalion Commander Hu! Is he alive? ”
"It's nature! You are all brothers who came out of the teaching team with me, so I won't hide it from you, I don't think I will go back after I come out this time. The reason is very simple, General Hu is different from others, he is a special general.
To put it simply, no one in the independent division can command it, and only listen to General Hu's orders. From now on, our regiment will be the same. If we go back, I guess we won't be able to get the trust from above, let alone have any future.
On the way here, you all said that this place is no different from China, but in fact, it is true, this is actually his territory. If you think it's okay here, you can bring your family over later.
How to choose, you can also take a walk around outside later during the rest period. At least I know that the people who have moved here are living a much better life than in China. Many people here are actually the families of officers and soldiers! ”
"Tuanza, does General Hu want to be a warlord?"
"Warlords can't talk about it! As you all know, this is actually the territory of foreign devils. I'll tell you more about it later. But there is one thing I hope you will remember, remember not to do anything outside of eating! ”
"Yes, Tuanza!"
As the regiment commander, Lin Zhenyuan knew very well that most of the officers who came out of the teaching team had a strong sense of honor. For Hu Biao's practice of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, I think I am still dissatisfied. But in Lin Zhenyuan's opinion, Hu Biao is not a warlord but more like a warlord!
Before he came, he had heard about the Southwestern Colonies. But he never thought that Hu Biao's stall would be so big. Thinking about it, in this colony, Hu Biao is basically no different from the earth overlord!
