Chapter 200: Are You a Military Commander?
If some people did not believe in Zhao Tiehu's judgment of the future situation, then the rapid changes in the war in Europe in 1940 exceeded the surprise of many colonial governments. It also makes people feel that Zhao Tiehu's earlier judgment is constantly becoming a reality.
Not long after David returned to Manila and moved into Wolfsburg, Germany blitzed Western Europe, soon forcing the Netherlands, Belgium, and France to surrender. The situation of the war was a great shock to French Indochina, the Dutch East Indies, and other parts of the South.
In view of the changes in the international situation, the Japanese army quickly abandoned the northward strategy formulated earlier and no longer continued to compete with the Soviet army in the northeast. On the contrary, the main forces were continuously transferred from the northeast to the southern front battle group to advance the southward strategy formulated by the company.
In the face of the German army's overwhelming victory, many Asian heads of government who paid attention to the changes in the war in Europe also meant that the war that swept many European countries would also bring major changes to the war situation in Asia.
The first to bear the brunt may be Indonesia, which is currently controlled by the Dutch. When the Japanese army began to send a large number of agents into Indonesia to prepare for war, Wolf Warrior also accelerated its layout against Indonesia.
Considering the situation in Indonesia, one person needs to be in charge. After some consideration, Zhao Tiehu finally said: "Xiaowan, send a telegram to Dabao and ask him to take the next batch of migrant boats to transfer over." He will be in charge of the war in Indonesia at that time. ”
'Yes! Indonesia is going to be in chaos soon, right? ’
'Normal! Sooner or later! If such a piece of fat is placed there, it's no wonder that the little devil is not greedy! In addition, he sent a telegram to the big hair, asking him to speed up the material reserves and the construction of the secret camp. At the same time, let the town office be ready to accept refugees. ’
As Zhao Tiehu continued to give new instructions, the little Davao also became much busier. Through the network of Nanyang Chinese, Zhao Tiehu also spared no expense to purchase grain in large quantities and transported it into a secret warehouse built in the mountains.
At the same time, a large number of artisans began to move into the mountains, building fortifications in some dangerous places in the mountains. Even many Chinese living in Davao can feel that the terminal inspection has recently become much stricter than before.
According to the notice issued by the town office, all those who enter Davao will be registered. Even if you are a first-time visitor, you must apply for a temporary pass to walk normally in the town. If you are undocumented, you should be careful of the arrest of the escort battalion.
In addition, the first batch of naval and air force officers and soldiers recruited by the Youth Gang were escorted by several merchant ships and stationed in Davao late at night. As the town guard, Zhao Tiehu also quickly asked people to take them into the house and military camp specially built for them.
With these officers and soldiers came, there were also henchmen from Du Yuesheng's gang. All the information of the officers and soldiers recruited by the Qinggang has been prepared. With these materials, Zhao Tiehu also made it convenient for Zhao Tiehu to make reasonable arrangements for these officers and men.
The officers and men of the national * who went to the island late at night seemed to have a good environment after going ashore, and they also breathed a sigh of relief. And the people in charge of contacting them are not foreign devils, but Chinese officers and soldiers like them.
Staying in the barracks where they lived, many officers who had been recruited also gathered together to look at the barracks and said, "It's been three days, why haven't you seen that boss yet?" No, let's just eat and drink like this, right? ”
'No hurry! The boss said, let's take a good rest, then we can stay in peace. However, in the past three days, our people have looked around, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the neighborhood! ’
'Yes! It looks more like a barracks, and I don't know what the boss asked us to do! ’
'What else can we do, can we do anything other than sail the boat?' ’
Just when all the officers and soldiers felt that this kind of waiting was a little anxious. Three days later, at night, someone soon saw Zhao Tiehu who was escorted in by a group of people in the barracks. Some people think that this person should be the boss who recruited them.
The reason is very simple, Du Yuesheng's henchman, who came with them earlier, was really with that young man. Seeing this scene, many officers felt that the youth of this boss seemed beyond imagination.
The most important thing is that many officers quickly saw from Zhao Tiehu's walking posture that Zhao Tiehu should be a soldier. And these people guarding him all look like they should be elite warriors.
Many officers were even surprised: "These people seem to be the elites of a hundred battles!" ”
Just as these officers were looking, the Chinese soldiers who had received them earlier came to the officers' accommodation area one after another, and said with a smile: "Our young master has arrived, I want to talk to you, please!" ”
When the recruited officer arrived at the conference room of the barracks, he looked at Zhao Tiehu, who was sitting in the main seat, with an expressionless face. The officers didn't dare to say anything, so they honestly found a place to sit down.
After all the officers arrived, Zhao Tiehu also got up at the right time and said, "I believe that when you see me sitting in this position, you should already know who I am." Yes, I entrusted Boss Du to recruit Chen Yonghua of the elites.
In three days, I believe everyone has also adjusted. So, I came to meet with you today, and I also plan to arrange corresponding work according to your ability and position. Before that, please introduce yourself! ”
is very straightforward personality, so that these officers, who are all from the army, also feel very right-tempered. After all, even if they have already submitted their resignations to the navy, but they are used to the style of the army, and they will not be able to change it for a while.
Zhao Tiehu, who accompanied the officers from top to bottom, still began to introduce themselves, and Zhao Tiehu, who had a stack of materials in front of him, occasionally interjected to ask a few words according to the introductions of these officers from time to time, and finally let the other party sit down.
Among the officers recruited from this group, there were two officers of the rank of major, both of whom had a background in studying abroad. After joining the Navy, he was not reused, and most of them were engaged in the duties of staff officers. And these two majors, the domestic background is also very clear.
For officers and soldiers whose domestic background is not clear, Zhao Tiehu is temporarily the object of observation. Officers and soldiers with a clear background and who are willing to move their families here are the key training targets. In this way, it is also convenient to manage these people.
After introducing himself, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "You are all soldiers who have been in the army for many years, and I won't talk about some nonsense." In three days, I believe that the fatigue of the journey has been washed away, so it is time for you to work.
Next, I will send someone to sign the corresponding work contract with you. There are rules in the contract that you need to abide by, and there are also benefits that you can enjoy. It's just that there is an ugly saying ahead, I don't keep idlers and garbage here.
After the contract is signed, you will be assigned to the corresponding work station. Because you were an officer earlier, you were assigned a position as a command. But your office is also temporary.
If your abilities are not recognized by me, then I'm sorry, I'll remove you and let you do what you can. In my case, the more capable you are, the more you will be paid. ”
Listening to Zhao Tiehu say these words with an expressionless face, the officers didn't say anything. In this process, Zhao Tiehu suddenly said: "Before issuing the official appointment, let me ask you a question, are you patriotic?" ”
A very unexpected question made the officers hesitate for a moment, and soon a former naval lieutenant got up and said, "Mr. Chen, if we were not patriotic, maybe we would have left a long time ago."
Although we are now out of the army, we are still loyal to the country. If what you ask us to do is to confront the state, then please forgive me for not accepting this job. ”
'You're Major Sun Hao, who studied in the British Navy, right?' ’
'Yes! ’
Then why did you accept this invitation! ’
Facing Zhao Tiehu's very direct inquiry, Sun Hao blushed a little and said, "That's because the person who recruited me said that he had the opportunity to sail a boat here." Of course, most importantly, I need to provide for my family. After all, I have a family to support! ”
'Okay, sit down!' Whatever your purpose is here, I'll just tell you one thing. Take my money, and I want you to do your best to work for me. As long as you recognize me as the boss, I will recognize you brothers.
I'm sure many of you here can see that these people around me are all from military backgrounds. Then I can also tell you that they, like you, have fought bloody battles on the domestic battlefield, and they all have the blood of little devils on their hands.
And I am not inviting you here this time to clean up those natives, but more to hope that your arrival can become the protector of the Nanyang Chinese. Fight against the enemies who bully the Chinese and protect this place where you are.
But there is one thing, I don't want anyone under my command to give a message to anyone else. Now I'm giving you a chance, if you have any other status, take the initiative to stand up now, and I won't pursue what task you have been given. ’
As soon as these words came out, all the officers were also stunned, and looked at each other, but still no one stood up. As a result, Zhao Tiehu quickly said: "Lieutenant Zhou Lin, yes, it's you, you can leave!" ”
One of the Navy lieutenants who was named stood up with a somewhat stunned and panicked expression, and said in surprise: "Why? ”
'You can choose to stay here, but you won't be serving in the core division below me. As for the reasons, I'm sure you know it yourself. To tell you the truth, we have all investigated your origins and identities.
Although I have dealt with you Boss Dai a few times, I still don't want you to have someone like you in my team. Although I know that your military commanders have also made a lot of contributions on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! ’
pointed out the identity of Boss Dai and the military commander, even the previous Sun Hao said with a stunned face: "Zhou Lin, are you a member of the military commander?" ”
Even if Zhou Lin wanted to deny it, he could see Zhao Tiehu with a calm face, although Zhou Lin didn't know how the other party knew his identity. But I understand that it is useless no matter what. The hidden mission he received seemed to have little hope of being completed.
But revealing his identity so quickly, Zhou Lin was really shocked. The reason is simple, after many years of lurking in the Navy, his identity has not been revealed. Now a Chinese organization far away in Nanyang has revealed his identity, how can it not surprise him?
