Wood shows in the forest.

This is the case with Chen Xiu. Originally, when he was just a small military doctor, no one envied him. Until, he spent money on the equipment of a battalion and became the battalion commander himself. There are more people who envy him. It's just that most of these people are just soldiers under them.

Now, the arsenal has just made some achievements, and the trial production has been successful, and an estimated output has been reported, and many people have begun to use their brains. Why?

It is really because China's industry is too backward, and the monthly output of the most famous Gongxian Arsenal is not as good as that of Chen Xiu's office. The Japanese army invaded China step by step, and millions of soldiers fought bravely, but these millions of soldiers? Does everyone have a gun? Are there enough bullets?

Even if there are enough rifles, what about machine guns? What about the cannons? What about tanks? What about airplanes? What about ships?

These are all problems.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, but China's science and technology are still backward.

On the evening of December 18, cadres from all battalions and above of the Independent Brigade gathered.

Diphon sat on the throne.

Chen Xiu is secondary.

"Today's meeting is related to the future development of our independent brigade." Di Feng spoke, "During the day, I have reported the estimated production capacity of the arsenal, and the order from above is to appoint Chen Xiu, the commander of the Huben battalion, as the chief person in charge of the arsenal, with the rank of colonel. ”

"This arsenal is a private arsenal, but the country is in danger, so the summit sent a liaison officer." Di Feng continued, "When the time comes, you all take care of your temperament for me, but don't offend the liaison. ”

"Chief of Staff, don't worry!"

Everyone laughed.

Then, Di Feng nodded to Chen Xiu.

"Next, it is Chen Xiu who has something to say to everyone."

Chen Xiu stood up and looked at these people in front of him, the independent brigade, which is a miscellaneous army, so even if it is the battalion commander, most of them are mixed up by veterans, and very few of them are from professional classes, "Brothers, to tell the truth, this arsenal is actually owned by me Chen Xiu." ”

At this point, everyone did not object, because these devices were indeed bought by Chen Xiu. If there was no Chen Xiu, many people would be on the battlefield at this moment. They heard that the defense of Nanjing had lost many people. At this time, many of them were still grateful to Chen Xiu in their hearts.

"So, when I am the director of this factory, I don't feel that there is anything unsuitable." Chen Xiu continued, "Therefore, in the future, I will decide on all the affairs of the arsenal. ”

Everyone nodded.

"The main duty of the independent brigade is actually to protect the arsenal. So, I have a few suggestions for the future development of the Independent Brigade. Chen Xiu sat down, "The first point, the military salary of the independent brigade is 1 ocean per month for ordinary soldiers, 2 oceans for machine gunners, mortar men, infantry squad deputies, 3 oceans for squad leaders, 5 oceans for company commanders, 4 oceans for company deputies, 8 oceans for battalion commanders, and 6 oceans for battalion deputies. The regiment commander and the regimental and department-level cadres shall discuss separately. If I am not free, I will also find the chief of staff or a trustworthy person to send it to you, and there will be absolutely no arrears. ”

Chen Xiu squinted his eyes, to be honest, even if he was paid in this way, for the 3,000 people of the Independent Brigade, the monthly military salary would not exceed 10,000 oceans, and he could fully afford it. What he wants is the activities of the entire Liuba County, not just his independent brigade. When the soldiers have money in their hands, they will spend it, and of course, Chen Xiu will provide them with a place to spend it to stimulate the local economic development.

"Is there really a military pay?" Several battalion commanders stood up, in fact, at this time, when the independent brigade came to the rear, it was almost impossible to get the military salary given by the central government, and even if it could get it before, it was very little. Being a soldier and being able to guarantee that you don't starve to death is good.

Chen Xiu nodded, "That's right." ”

Several battalion commanders glanced at each other, "Battalion Commander Chen, you are now a colonel, and it is not appropriate for us to call you battalion commander again, but in this troubled world, brothers are soldiers, to be honest, just to be a soldier and not starve to death on the streets!" If you really pay the military salary, our group of people will also give you our lives! ”

"That's right! The country is in danger, the people are hungry, you can pay your brothers military salaries, it is considered that you have a good heart! That's it, we, the people, all listen to you! ”

"Yes!"

"Listen to you!"

Chen Xiu nodded, "The second point is to eliminate veterans over 40 years old in the army. ”

"What?"

"What?"

Many people are surprised, because there are still quite a lot of people over 40 years old, and they are indeed veterans.

"Quiet!" Chen Xiu said lightly, "Although 40 years old is still in the prime of life, in fact, their physical functions have begun to decline, and they will be more easily injured. ”

"What is the Reclamation Regiment?"

"It is a farming group that is responsible for farming, raising pigs, sheep and other animals!"

"Farming? Isn't that serving the crops? Pig? ”

"Sheep farming?"

"Battalion Commander Chen, it's not that I disagree, it's really that these veterans over 40 years old, some of whom have held positions like platoon commanders and squad leaders, if all these people are withdrawn, it will affect their combat effectiveness." Someone stood up.

Chen Xiu smiled, "Combat effectiveness is something that comes out of training, and it's also something that comes out of practice!" We are currently in the rear, there will be no big battles to fight for the time being, and we must give young people a chance. This point was agreed to by the chief of staff, and it can be regarded as one of the rigid requirements of the army after the rectification. "Training on weekdays, Tang Ning will not relax, even if you need to fight actual combat, in this era, there are too many bandits or something, just pull it out and fight a few games, it can be regarded as training. What's more, most of these people in the Independent Brigade have retired from Songhu, and basically, they are all veterans.

The silence of the crowd, the meaning of the hard demand, of course, everyone knows, must be carried out. What's more, since Chen Xiu has been paid a military salary, then this group of them is willing to become Chen Xiu's private army.

"If there is no objection, then I will say the third article." Chen Xiu continued to say gently, "The third point, the remaining soldiers are organized into three regiments, re-disrupted, and the regiment commander and regiment deputy are elected. ”

As soon as this point came out, everyone did not object. Why? Now the regimental and department-level cadres of the Independent Brigade are all following Tang Hu in Nanjing. The independent brigade has some meaning of private soldiers, and originally, those who guarded the military power were Tang Hu's old brothers. As soon as Tang Hu took this group of people away, many positions would be reserved for newcomers, which was an incentive for these newcomers.

can be the head of the regiment, that is a promotion!

The more than 10 battalion-level cadres present were all a little excited in their hearts.

"As for how to choose? I will discuss it with the chief of staff in a few days and then tell you, but it will be fair and just, and those who are capable will go up, and those who are mediocre will go down! Because only in this way will everyone obey you. ”

"Camp Commander Chen is right!"

"Yes!"

"Fourth," Chen Xiu continued, "Regarding the defense tasks of the arsenal, every month, each regiment, rotation, and specific defense will be discussed by the commanders of each regiment. ”

"Fifth, the most elite 100 of the existing fighters will be selected for special training." Chen Xiu continued, "These 100 people will be responsible for some special work in the future. ”

"Special work?" Everyone raised their eyebrows, not quite understanding what Chen Xiu meant.

"This is a secret, in short, these 100 people will enjoy the best food, the highest salary, the best equipment, and the most rigorous training and requirements in the whole brigade." Chen Xiu looked at everyone and did not explain. For these 100 people, he will try to train them according to the training method he knows, and at the same time, he will make it mandatory for them to learn Japanese. Once this group of people is successfully trained, they can play a big role.
