Chapter 334: It will be expanded again
"Army Group...... Hum...... How dare you speak! ”
Chairman Pi snorted twice, but the anger on his face eased a lot, it seems that He Yingqin's words also went to his heart, now the Japanese army is in full swing, and many **** generals have fled after seeing the Japanese army, and among these generals, there are many generals from the Whampoa family, which also makes Commissar Jiang feel gloomy.
The unit with the best record in the past two years is the 202nd Division led by Su Jin, but Su Jin is not Lao Jiang's person, so Lao Jiang always has some pimples in his heart, but if Su Jin is from the Huangpu department or from Zhejiang, with Su Jin's record in the past two years, let alone a army commander, I am afraid that the commander of the group army will become a commander.
In fact, most of the reason why Chairman Jiang was furious just now was the tough attitude shown by Su Jin in the telegram, but what Su Jin said was not unreasonable, and the Ministry of Military Affairs did indeed go a little too far this time, after all, even a common man who does not understand military affairs can see that something is wrong with letting a division take over the defense area of an army, let alone the generals in the army. And Chairman Jiang is most worried that this move will chill the hearts of many miscellaneous army generals, after all, nearly half of the more than 2 million **** in the country are composed of miscellaneous armies, and if the hearts of these people are really cold, the future situation of the War of Resistance will be even more difficult.
And now when he heard He Yingqin's remedial words, he couldn't help but groan a little, the 202nd Division was not an ordinary miscellaneous army. In Chairman Chiang's view, this unit is full of mystery, and the all-German equipment, perfect training, and amazing combat achievements have made this unit have an amazing reputation and appeal in today's China. He didn't dare to go too far with this kind of troops, otherwise he would be dumbfounded once he was forced to the Japanese. Just gave him a military number, and he was still a little distressed about this issue.
I thought about it for a moment. He looked up at Chen Cheng and asked, "Cixiu, what do you think?" ”
Chen Cheng secretly glanced at He Yingqin out of the corner of his eyes, and then straightened his waist and said, "Report to the chairman." The ministry thought that if the results were to be picked up, it would indeed be natural for the 202nd Division to be expanded into an army, but at present, the country's finances are tight, and it is really difficult to support such a huge army. ”
"Hmm...... What you say makes sense. Chairman Jiang looked at He Yingqin and asked, "Jingzhi, you brought up this matter first, what can you do to solve this problem?" ”
He Yingqin, who had already had a draft, hurriedly said: "Report to the commission, Su Jin is different from other ordinary miscellaneous armies. It is not an exaggeration to describe this person as having great powers, this person is not only good at making money, but also has the means to purchase weapons and equipment from overseas. In that case, we can explain it to him. His troops can be expanded first, but the armament and food required for the expansion need to be raised by Su Jin himself, and it is not too late to allocate it to him when the government has money in the future. ”
"What about the salaries? This can't also be raised by Su Jin, right? Chen Cheng asked lightly on the side.
He Jingzhi said without thinking: "We can temporarily give the required military salary to one division according to the original one, and the rest will depend on him to figure out his own way." ”
"Hey ......"
Chen Cheng almost stopped being angry. This He Yingqin said that he just wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf. In the final analysis, it's just to give a verbal number and don't care about anything else, and then let people work for themselves, this kind of thing is too good, right? He just wanted to say a few words, but the chairman on the side spoke.
"Jingzhi is right, now that the state affairs are difficult, he really can't spare too much materials and money for him, just this condition, see if he is willing to accept this appointment. If he wishes, your military and political department will send another telegram according to this meaning, urging him to go to Jiujiang as soon as possible to change guards with the 74th Army. ”
I saw that the chairman of the committee even agreed with this disgust. What else could Chen Cheng say, he could only sigh lightly and stop talking, and said secretly in his heart: "Su Jin, Su Jin, I can only help here, and I will repay the favor you gave me for the five planes you gave me a few days ago." ”
"What...... Give us an army formation, and then let us recruit ourselves as a reward for our exchange of guards with the Seventy-fourth Army? ”
Looking at the telegram in his hand, Su Jin didn't know what to say, he never thought that there would be such a ridiculous thing, and the expansion of the army could also be used for trading?
"Congratulations, you're going to be promoted again!"
"Master, no...... This time, I'm going to call you a military seat! ”
Unlike Su Jin, who was entangled, Huang Weiguo, Li Wei, Zhang Danian and others next to him were overjoyed, the army was expanded into an army, so the rank naturally had to be promoted to lieutenant general, and they were subordinates who naturally rose with the tide, how long has it been, and these bandits who were originally just the kings of Erlong Mountain have become generals, which is a good thing that even they didn't dare to dream of before.
Looking at the smiling subordinates, Su Jin naturally knew what they were happy about. Those who are soldiers, who doesn't want to climb up, although the gold content of the generals in Huaxia is not as high as that of later generations, but it is not a shame to say it. It's just that what makes Su Jin embarrassed is that if the army wants to expand, his monthly expenses will have to increase again, and once the army is expanded, the gap of grassroots officers will be too big.
Su Jin said to Zhou Yusheng on the side: "Chi Yu, if the army is expanded into an army, do we have so many grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers?" ”
Zhou Yusheng pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Division, if we really expand according to the orders of the troops, we will have to increase the number of troops by two more divisions, which means that we will increase the number of 30,000 or 40,000 people, in addition to the fact that we can promote from within, there is a shortage of at least 1,000 grassroots officers, and if this problem is not solved, even if the troops are really expanded, their combat effectiveness will drop a lot." ”
Seeing that Zhou Yusheng seemed to have an objection, Li Wei on the side was anxious, "Chief of Staff, we can train ourselves if there is a lack of grassroots officers, no matter how bad it is, let's fight a few more battles with the devils, and no matter how many new recruits will become veterans, when the time comes, let's hold a few more training courses, will the grassroots officers be there soon?" ”
Huang Weiguo, who has always been calm, also agreed: "Yes, Chief of Staff, there will be no store in this village, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can slowly expand the army, but we can deserve this appointment, otherwise we may not have such a good opportunity in the future." ”
Although Zhang Danian on the side did not speak, the anxious look in his eyes had betrayed his mood.
An army organized by the third division, this time his supplementary brigade can also exchange shotguns for artillery and his daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and the supplementary brigade commander has become a division commander, how energetic.
"Okay!" Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Zhou Yusheng could only agree with a wry smile...... (To be continued.) )
