Bai Fei listened to Comrade Nikolai's words and almost laughed out loud. Comrade Nikolai is still young, having lived in the USSR for another ten years, and is still relatively immature about political matters.

Let's not talk about whether Bai Fei is willing or not, even if he is willing, it will definitely be impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to agree.

Just kidding, why did Chiang Kai-shek become the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy? It's not because all the students who graduated from it, whether they want to or not, are nominally his students, and with this relationship, it is more conducive to him to control the army and consolidate power.

If Bai Fei is really allowed to develop and strengthen the Youth Army based on his direct regiment, and then let him serve as the director of military training, will the trained troops become the "Bai Family Army" at that time, and will they absolutely obey the command at the critical time? Wouldn't Chiang Kai-shek consider all this?

In other words, although Bai Fei seemed to be more popular with Jiang before, it was just the result of his relatively strong battles and many meritorious contributions. In fact, a person like Bai Fei, who was born in a wild way, is neither from the Huangpu family nor belongs to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang departments, and it is difficult for him to be truly appreciated and valued by Jiang. What's more, this resignation incident has made him clearly feel that he is being marginalized by Jiang. Let's ask how Chiang Kai-shek could let Bai Fei, a person who is neither a confidant nor uncontrollable, take on such a heavy responsibility as the formation of a youth army?

Sure enough, before Bai Fei could express his opinion, Luo Zhuoying, who was standing on the side, interjected: "Jianfeng, let's talk about this matter later, at least we have to discuss it with the chairman first, otherwise once there is an accident, won't it disappoint Zhenyu?" ”

As Chiang Kai-shek's confidant general, Luo Zhuoying has a certain understanding of Chiang's thoughts and views. Although he seemed to be thinking about Bai Fei again, he was actually just afraid that Bai Fei would agree, and things would be difficult to handle at that time.

Bai Fei's heart was like a mirror, and his reaction to Luo Zhuoying was already expected. Historically, when this youth army was formed, Chiang Kai-shek finally appointed Luo Zhuoying as the director of military training. Fortunately, Bai Fei was not interested in this position, and he didn't want the direct regiment he had worked so hard to train to be broken up, so he beat the snake and persuaded him: "Yes, Mr. Nikolai." It's better to let this matter go and ask for the opinion of the committee first. ”

Comrade Jingguo frowned slightly, and when he saw that both of them were persuading, he had no choice but to give up, but the lonely expression on his face could not be concealed. Bai Fei somewhat understood his psychology.

Chiang Ching-kuo went to the Soviet Union to study in 25 years, and then because Chiang Kai-shek was anti-Soviet and anti-communist, Chiang Ching-kuo was detained by the Soviet Union and sent to Siberia to do hard labor, during which he lasted for ten years, and even his daughter-in-law Russian Fenna (later renamed Jiang Fangliang) was also a female mine worker whom Chiang Ching-kuo met in the mines of the Soviet Union in 35 years. In 37, on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in China, the Soviet Union allowed Chiang Ching-kuo to return to China through mediation.

After returning to China, Chiang Ching-kuo saw the rampant Japanese invaders, and at the same time he was angry in his heart, he originally thought that he could show his strength and do something important that would be beneficial to the country and the people. Unexpectedly, he was arranged by Chiang Kai-shek to go back to his hometown to study, and what ancient books such as "Mencius" and "Zeng Wenzheng's Family Letter" called him "make up classes" and "brainwash". It was not until 38 years that Chiang Ching-kuo was arranged to come to Jiangxi and appointed as the magistrate of Ganxian County, and now he has been appointed as the inspector of the fourth administrative region, but he has not achieved any decent results.

To tell the truth, Chiang Ching-kuo actually wanted to make a career, but because he was still young, in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, he was just a "stunned young man", so he always paid little attention to his opinions, and only arranged for him to go to the grassroots level for training. The domestic political situation is complex and changeable, and there are many factions, and along the way, Chiang Ching-kuo has encountered many walls, and he feels that the enthusiasm in his heart is about to be wiped out.

Bai Fei understood Jiang Jingguo's psychological changes, especially when he saw his lonely expression, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but say to him: "Actually, the idea of forming a youth army is still very good, as the so-called inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops, the national disaster is at the head, if you organize promising young people who are knowledgeable, educated and willing to dedicate themselves to the country, you can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of our army." ”

When Jiang Jingguo heard the words "an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood", his eyes lit up, but he still did not speak. Bai Fei saw his eyes staring at an AK assault rifle in the hand of a soldier of a regiment directly under him next to him, his heart moved, and after a little thought, he stepped forward and took the AK rifle from the soldier's hand, pulled the bolt, and then handed it to Jiang Jingguo: "This rifle is called AK assault rifle, I see that you are very interested, why don't you try a few shots..."

Chiang Ching-kuo was a little surprised, but he still took the rifle, fumbled for a while, and then aimed at a tree about a hundred meters away from a no-man's land, and after a few shots, none of them hit.

Comrade Nikolai was slightly embarrassed.

Bai Fei said: "This kind of gun has two mechanisms: point shot and burst fire...", he took back the gun from Jiang Jingguo's hand, and demonstrated it himself, after a few bursts of swishing shots, he switched to the burst fire mode, pulled the trigger, clicked, and several bullets flew out, hitting the trunk of the big tree respectively, and the sawdust splashed.

Bai Fei said again: "This kind of gun has a large recoil, and the muzzle jumps seriously when it is fired, so the accuracy is slightly poor." However, the advantages are also very prominent, its biggest advantage is that the action is reliable, good service, solid and durable, low failure rate, whether it is in high temperature or low temperature conditions, the shooting performance is very good, especially in the wind, sand and muddy water, the performance is reliable, and the structure is simple, easy to decompose, used in large-scale field operations, the firepower is very fierce. ”

As he spoke, he handed the gun to Chiang Ching-kuo again and taught him shooting skills, and this time he really hit. Jiang Jingguo was addicted to playing, and after a magazine was played, Bai Fei asked for another magazine for him. Luo Zhuoying's heart was itching when he watched from the sidelines, and he also wanted to give it a try, so Bai Fei brought him another gun.

The two of them had a lot of fun, and when they had enough, more than a dozen magazines had been used.

Jiang Jingguo said with emotion: "This kind of gun is really a sharp weapon against the enemy, and if you want to compare it with the Japanese army's Type 38 rifle, it is not a grade at all..."

Bai Fei said in his heart, that still needs to be said. He picked up the conversation and said, "You're right. In fact, the fact that the regiment directly under it was able to win more with less in the face of the Japanese army was all because it was equipped with such automatic weapons. ”

Luo Zhuoying said on the side: "Actually, I have always had questions, I don't know where Zhenyu bought this advanced weapon? If we can introduce and equip our army in large quantities, we can fundamentally solve the problem of lagging behind the Japanese army in weapons. ”

This was the first time that Bai Fei had introduced advanced weapons to outsiders, but obviously he could not tell the truth, and he had already finalized the question asked by Luo Zhuoying, and replied: "I can't hide it, this weapon was invented by a poor Pole, and later he was invited by me to China and set up a machinery factory to research and produce this kind of weapon." ”

Chiang Ching-kuo said: "In other words, this weapon was produced by the Zhenyu organization?" ”

Bai Fei nodded and said, "Not bad." As you know, I have a penicillin factory in Hainan, and this factory that researches and produces firearms is also there. It's just that the current production capacity is limited and cannot be supplied on a large scale. Today, when I heard that Mr. Nikolai was going to form a youth army, I originally planned to wait for the day when the army was formed, and give priority to providing a batch of automatic weapons for the youth army, but now that the Japanese army is attacking Hainan, once Hainan falls, I'm afraid..."
