Chapter 284: The Family Banquet Pays the General
Zhao Tiehu also breathed a sigh of relief when the Japanese army finally gave up the encirclement and suppression of the Xinghua Army, and instead began to deploy the troops that had retreated from the front line on the defensive islands to deal with the counterattack of the American army.
At this moment, the Xinghua Army formed in Nanyang, Zhao Tiehu did not want to die with the Japanese army stationed in Nanyang. These troops were retained more to prepare for the opposition and pressure of all parties when seeking independent statehood.
What's more, once Zhao Tiehu's plan can succeed, then the newly formed government will also need a strong national defense force to defend the territory. If it was a fierce battle with the Japanese army, it would not have much meaning to the Xinghua army.
Even in such a fierce battle, I am afraid that the happiest is still on the side of the Allies. If the losses of the Xinghua army are too great, it will be easier for the Allies to suppress the Xinghua army in the future and seek independent statehood.
If the Allies knew that the Xinghua Army was strong, if they forcibly suppressed the Xinghua Army to seek independence, they would inevitably send more troops to the war. How could the Allied soldiers and the people, who had finally hoped for peace, easily agree with it?
In view of the fact that the Japanese army chose to maintain the status quo in the South Seas, it focused more on blocking the American army and stabilizing the situation in other theaters. Zhao Tiehu also knew that the Xinghua Army under the new situation must also make corresponding changes.
Soon a telegram was sent from the base camp of the Xinghua Army in Mindanao, including the heads of the Xinghua Army stationed in Southeast Asian countries, all of whom received the telegram from the base camp, and the Xinghua Army was preparing to hold its first military conference.
After the telegram was sent, the leaders of the Xinghua Army who received the telegram also returned to Mindanao by various means. Including the person in charge of the wolf's den in the mainland, he also received a telegram from Zhao Tiehu.
According to the current development of the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu and several combat staff officers trained in the base camp finally decided to make a series of military reform measures for the Xinghua Army in view of the current situation.
In a certain sense, this kind of military reform measure will determine the future development plan of the Xinghua Army and will also determine the future situation of the Xinghua Army in Nanyang. Even after receiving the telegram, the responsible persons in various places were both surprised and expectant.
Unexpectedly, it was the first time that the base camp sent such a convocation telegram, and it must have been a big move. What is expected is, what kind of adjustments will the Xinghua Army make in the future? What positions will they hold?
Compared with Li Chengwu, Song Dabao and others, who were relatively close, after receiving the telegram from the base camp, they rushed back to Mindanao after arranging the affairs of the troops, and even came to Zhao's manor as a guest at the invitation of Zhao Tiehu.
Looking at Zhao Tiehu, who was cooking himself, and Li Chengwu and others, who were waiting outside, they also felt very moved. After all, being able to get such treatment is enough to show that their status in Zhao Tiehu's heart is unmatched.
While waiting for the meal to start, Li Chengwu couldn't help but complain: "Big head, it's almost okay, right?" You guy, don't hug Xiao Weiguo and be reluctant to let go, let us hug it too! ”
"What's the hurry, didn't you see Xiao Weiguo having fun with me? What's more, I'm an uncle, and you're just an uncle! ”
"What is this called? Sister-in-law, I found that this guy is getting muddy! ”
Chen Wan, who stayed aside to entertain the two, also smiled and said, "Hasn't he always been like this?" is also a father, but this muddy spirit has not changed. However, Brother Tiger said that he has grown a lot, what do you think? ”
"Of course! Now inside the wolf warrior, when I hear the word wolf, I am also trembling! However, this kid was lucky to have been by the commander-in-chief's side. After staying for so long, even Kaoru can make some achievements! ”
Facing Song Dabao's words, Li Hao also said in a timely manner: "You are envious!" In fact, for me, if I had a choice, I would still be willing to be a guard for the commander-in-chief. Leading soldiers as an officer is really not suitable for me! ”
At this time, Zhao Tiehu, who happened to come out with a bowl of soup, laughed and scolded at the right time: "Big head, can you kid have some talent?" I originally thought that you kid had grown a little, but I didn't think about it, you still can't support the wall in the mud!
I told you before that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. You rely on me every day, what's the matter? What's more, I have a good relationship with Xiaowan, you are dangling in front of me every day, and I still think it is an eyesore! ”
"Commander-in-chief, isn't it?"
Seeing Li Hao being criticized, Li Chengwu and Song Dabao both smiled a little unkindly. Even when Chen Wan heard this, she felt that Li Hao's loyalty to Zhao Tiehu had not changed, and she always regarded Zhao Tiehu as a life-saving benefactor.
When the last dish was ready, Zhao Tiehu hugged his daughter Zhao Xin, who was waiting for the meal, and said with a smile: "Don't sit down, serve the table first, taste my craftsmanship, have you grown better than before in Malingshan?" Oh, Xiaowan, bring that wine! ”
"Drink less!"
"Well, I know! There are only two bottles of wine in total, so you can't drink as much as you want! However, when they come back this time, it is estimated that there will be a lot of this wine. Even if I haven't lived here for a long time, I still feel that the wine in my hometown is fragrant! ”
When Chen Wan took out the two bottles of wine in white porcelain bottles, Song Dabao and Li Chengwu both said with bright eyes: "Spear platform? ”
"Yes! When I went to Yan'an the last time, the committee members sent it when they were leaving. This wine is still the wine brought to Yan'an from Maotai Town during the Long March of the army. I'm afraid that there are not many committee members!
I have been reluctant to drink these two bottles of wine, and today I rarely have time to get together, so I must take some good wine to entertain you heroes! It's commonplace, you don't mind, do you? ”
"What about that! Are they all right? ”
Although he has been separated from the Eighth Route Army for many years, for Li Chengwu, an officer from the Eighth Route Army, he, like Zhao Tiehu, has always been concerned about the Eighth Route Army in China. But he knew that he, like Zhao Tiehu, had no turning back.
As the general person in charge of Xinjiapo, Li Chengwu, who is only in his thirties, has also grown in prestige in the army. With the increase in the number of troops under his command, Li Chengwu also became more and more imposing. But he never forgot the experience of the army back then.
Without the beating and tempering during the Eighth Route Army, he would not have everything he has now. Perhaps, as Li Chengwu said to his subordinates, the luckiest thing in his life may be because he is with the right person.
As a senior general of the Xinghua Army, Li Chengwu's family was brought to Nanyang at an early age, and now has a home in the base camp and Davao City. Even Li Chengwu himself is already a father of two children.
It's just that the longer they follow Zhao Tiehu, the more they know the importance of their own responsibilities. When it comes to some sensitive matters, Li Chengwu and others are also very decent and never cause any trouble to Zhao Tiehu and the troops.
Because they know that Zhao Tiehu can lead by example, how can they cause trouble for Zhao Tiehu? After all, most of the old subordinates brought out from Zaozhuang are now in important positions, and they are the core of the Wolf Warrior and the Xinghua Army.
If even they make trouble for Zhao Tiehu, then how can Zhao Tiehu obey? Dealing with them will make Zhao Tiehu feel cold. If you don't deal with them, how can you restrain other newcomers who are joining one after another?
As the wine was full, Zhao Tiehu also smiled and said, "They are all in good health!" When I went back to the mainland last time, I also saw Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng. Don't worry, when the situation is completely calm, you can go back and have a look when you have time in the future.
And I believe that in the future, you will all become guests of honor in China. As long as we care about the mainland, we will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a descendant of Yan and Huang. It doesn't really matter where you are.
What's more, if there is a big Nanyang, there are many descendants of Yan and Huang who need our protection now. We do the same thing with them. It's just that our ability is limited, so we can only take care of the mess around us. ”
In Zhao Tiehu's plan, the Xinghua Army will definitely be divided into several pieces in the future. Different defense forces are formed according to the different defense areas guarded by each other. On the surface, these IDF forces are not unified with each other and operate in their own right.
But in fact, these national defense forces will be in the hands of Zhao Tiehu. Unless the situation is truly stabilized, no one can take away the military command of Nanyang from Zhao Tiehu's hands.
Although in the future Xinghua army, it is inevitable that some indigenous people will be added. But Zhao Tiehu hoped that the command of the troops would always be firmly controlled by the Chinese. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of Chinese in Nanyang in the future.
Regarding the integration with the natives, Zhao Tiehu hopes that the initiative will be the indigenous, not the Chinese. With China as an immigration base, Zhao Tiehu is not afraid of filling up the Nanyang.
Even in the process, many indigenous people may die because of this. But in Zhao Tiehu's view, he will not take the initiative to provoke a race war. But whoever dares to compress the development space of the Chinese in Nanyang is the enemy of the Xinghua Army.
"Commander-in-chief, is that kid okay?"
Thinking of the original five giants of the Xinghua Army, there is now a lack of Chen Liquan who is in charge of intelligence. Li Chengwu, who was drinking, also asked with some curiosity. After all, Chen Liquan also came out with his army at the beginning!
Facing Li Chengwu's inquiry, Zhao Tiehu smiled and said, "That kid is fine!" It's just that he is currently in Europe, with a bunch of foreign devils, and he is living a chic life! Sometimes, I want to pull him to the rear and go around Europe! ”
"How is our Wolf Warrior's Foreign Legion developing now? Can he control this piece? ”
With the continuous development and growth of the foreign army, there are indeed people within the wolf warrior who are worried about whether this foreign mercenary group can always be controlled. But for Zhao Tiehu, he is not worried.
The reason is simple, the situation abroad is somewhat different from that at home. The existence of foreign mercenary groups is more to earn funds and collect talents. As for loyalty, Zhao Tiehu won't expect too much.
After all, if it is not my race, its heart must be different, how can Zhao Tiehu not understand it? In addition to the foreign mercenaries who moved their families to Nanyang, Zhao Tiehu asked Chen Liquan to be promoted and reused. The rest of the foreign mercenaries are more of them selling their lives for money!
