Chapter 163: I've got the final say
Seeing those soldiers die like this, Su Dao had no way to stop it, and in the face of large-scale mustard gas, ordinary prevention and control methods had no effect at all. In the end, under the forcible prevention of several guards, Su Dao was unable to enter the death area, but Su Dao stood on the cordon outside the death area, took off his military hat and mourned for those soldiers for dozens of minutes.
In the end, it was the communication soldiers of the military department who brought a telegram from Wuhan, and Su Dao left here, although these revenge they had already avenged, but Su Dao felt that he had not done enough, originally a war, there was a damage of about 10,000 people, and no one thought that the Kwantung Army would use such despicable means.
With the exposure of the incident in the northeast of Wuhan, a large number of domestic and foreign media reporters set off for Jinxi, a small city with an important geographical location but not very famous, resounded throughout the country overnight, and the people of the whole country knew that there was a place called Jinxi in the northeast, and in Jinxi, the Kwantung Army released a large number of poison gas bombs, causing heavy casualties to the 99th Army.
The meaning of the call from Wuhan was also very simple, it was nothing more than that the battlefield inside the Guanxi was tight, all kinds of supplies were in a state of scarcity, and the number of people who could support them was really limited, so the 99th Army should first think of its own way and strive to overcome the difficulties as soon as possible. As for the question of the number of troops lost, the newspaper did not mention a single word in the slightest.
The Jinxi poison gas war seems to be a contest between China and China, but why not a contest between China and Su Dao? Through the information sent back by the spies of the 99th Army lurking in major cities, Su Dao was suddenly a little speechless about Jiang Guangtou's approach. The leader of a country can deliberately ignore the merits of the soldiers for a little selfish gain, which is absolutely unacceptable to Su Dao.
"What do you think about this?" Wu Zhongguo held a cigarette in his mouth and asked Su Dao with a sad face, the things on the front line made his good mood for several months gone, especially when the air force sent back the news of the destruction of the two Kwantung Army divisions, he couldn't be happy.
"What else can you see? Since the central government has asked us to wait for the reporters to come and find a few suitable places for them to take pictures, can we still disobey the order? Su Dao asked rhetorically.
This battle has become a game between him and Jiang Guangtou, and since he sent out the first battle report, it seems that there is nothing to do with him. Jiang Guangtou deliberately concealed the news of the destruction of the 8th and 12th Divisions of the Kwantung Army, and the reason was very simple, it was nothing more than to gain the sympathy of the international community, on the one hand, to step up mediation between China and China, and on the other hand, to launch assistance to China.
Now China can be described as lonely, and the War of Resistance can only be carried out by its own strength, and China's weak industrial base is destined to be not their own opponents, and the only way to solve it is to relieve the industrial pressure of China through external assistance.
And Su Dao's idea is also very simple, Jiang Guangtou wants to get assistance from the outside world, although he doesn't want Jiang Guangtou to succeed, but in order to take into account the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he will not directly stand up to prevent contact with Western countries, although this is very unfavorable to Su Dao's future Guoguang plan, but he endured it. Only to cover up the merits of the officers and men of the 99th Army, Su Dao couldn't bear it, and how many soldiers of the Kwantung Army were eliminated in this battle must be announced to the public.
Otherwise, not only will there be no way to explain to the people, but also the officers and soldiers of the 99th Army, and the biggest blow to the 99th Army is not these two aspects, but that it will be more difficult for them to carry out their work in the northeast in the future.
The time why I controlled the Northeast was not short, although I was a little brutal, but on the whole, I was not as bad as later generations imagined for the people of the Northeast, of course, it was not wrong to say that he had ulterior motives, and the reason why the Kwantung Army did not do any massacres and the like in the Northeast was because they regarded the Northeast as a lifeline for Manchurian and Mongolian people in the early days, that is, the rear resource base of the Northeast.
Not to do too much destruction here, that is, to be able to rule here smoothly, reduce the will of the local people to resist, so that Yu could have successfully sent more resources back to the country. Now the Ninety-ninth Army suddenly rushed in, although it was impossible to make it difficult for the Kwantung Army to move an inch in a short period of time, but according to Su Dao's surname, it was a matter of time or time, and it could even be said that Su Dao's arrival had affected the safety of Yuben's rear resource base.
If there is no support from those people, it will be difficult for Su Dao to complete his plans in a short period of time, the Dawning Plan is just a big plan to include the entire Northeast region, and then there are the Beiguang Plan, the Zhongguang Plan and the Nanguang Plan, and finally the Longteng Plan, these five small plans together are a complete Guoguang Plan.
"Shoot, let those reporters take pictures, isn't it just to take a picture? Where do we have a place where we can't shoot? Every place on the battlefield is suitable for taking pictures, so send a few soldiers into the battlefield to take pictures, and send them all the photos tomorrow when these reporters come. Su Dao turned to speak.
This battle is so miserable, in the end, you can't just think about taking the benefits into your own pocket, since you are ruthless, then don't blame me for being unintentional, anyway, no matter what, as long as you don't report the results of the 99th Army's annihilation of the two complete divisions of the Kwantung Army, Su Dao just won't do it, don't you say that I can't say it myself?
As for taking pictures, it was quickly arranged, and the people who carried out the photo task could only be those in Group D, but a few people obviously didn't know how to use that thing, and it was only after a while of fiddling that they learned how to use the camera, and as for the effect, it could only depend on luck.
When those soldiers walked into the battlefield wearing a full set of protective clothing and carrying cameras on their backs, the soldiers in charge of guarding the 99th Army all grew their mouths, and secretly wondered in their hearts, could they be immune to poison gas on the battlefield by wrapping themselves like rice dumplings? However, while those soldiers were still worried about them, another scolding battle was staged in the military headquarters of the 99th Army.
"You're crazy, aren't you? No, I don't agree with that. Wu Zhongguo slapped the table angrily, there were a few thin pages on it, the content on it was not much, but it was related to the interests of every soldier in the whole army.
"Why don't you agree? We've already said before, and we've also informed us that we're going to announce a new welfare package after the battle is over, and now that the battle is over, we can't let people see jokes, right? Su Dao had a harmless expression on his face, stared at Wu Zhongguo and said, although Su Dao can make the decision on this matter, but without Wu Zhongguo's support, it is difficult for Su Dao to carry it out.
"My Armier, could you please think about it a little more? How much money do we have in our hands, don't you know it yourself? Could you please count your fingers and do the math with your own fingers, do we have enough money on hand now for you to pay your military salary for two months? What about the future? The Northeast is sparsely populated, and even if you want to fight local tyrants, there are not so many local tyrants to let you fight. Wu Zhongguo picked up the pieces of paper in one hand, and after saying a few words, he helplessly put them on the table, and the people in the command headquarters who were watching were full of curiosity, not knowing what the new benefits were? Isn't the money in the army enough to pay two months' salary?
"Don't count, you don't have to worry about money, I will naturally solve this, your task is to set up a military-level financial and logistics section as soon as possible, and then a division-level financial section, a brigade-level financial section, and a regiment-level financial section. Su Dao continued to smile and said.
At present, they have a financial department, which is responsible for the statistical work of the army's salary report and regular expenditures, and they also have a logistics department, and their main responsibility is to be responsible for the supply work of the whole army. Now it is necessary to divide a financial and logistics section, which is a separate department, with Su Dao himself as the section chief and Wu Zhongguo as the deputy section chief, and the two of them take charge of the overall situation, and then set up a deputy section chief in charge of military salaries and a deputy section chief in charge of logistics.
To put it bluntly, the financial and logistics section to be set up by Su Dao is mainly responsible for the military salary expenditure report of active duty soldiers, as well as the follow-up pension work of the dead and disabled soldiers; because the amount of funds involved in the new order to be promulgated by Su Dao is huge, and there are concerns that there will be corruption below, so this department is divided separately, and the original financial section is responsible for allocating funds to the financial and logistics section, logistics department and other departments, and they are responsible for the overall report of the 99th Army.
"Don't worry about me? Don't worry about me, what are you asking me to be this deputy section chief? Look at what new benefits you've set? Private class, we now have a private soldier's monthly salary of 15 yuan, which is higher than that of ordinary sergeants in the Central Army's descendant units, and you have now set the monthly salary of a second-class soldier at 30 yuan, the monthly salary for a first-class soldier at 35 yuan, the senior soldier's salary at 40 yuan, the corporal at 60 yuan, the sergeant at 80 yuan, and the sergeant at 100 yuan. Wu Zhongguo panted and pointed to the content on it, then looked at another place, and pointed even more angrily:
"And this, the pension of the fallen soldier is five times the salary of all the soldiers in the service, and the disabled soldier is twice the salary, and the military department is responsible for arranging the work to ensure a stable income in the future? Have you ever wondered? Let's take that private, if a soldier dies in battle for ten months, the total salary is three hundred and fifty yuan, and five times is one thousand seven hundred and five, and if a soldier dies in the army for ten months, we will have to pay a price of more than two thousand yuan, can we afford it? Have you ever wondered how long we can carry it according to such rules? We lost more than 10,000 people in this battle, and the pension of more than 10,000 people alone is enough to drain all our funds. Do you want to make the soldiers go to war hungry? ”
"That's enough, asking for your consent is that I still respect you, the matter of the new welfare is so decided, you have to agree if you agree, you have to agree if you don't agree, the soldiers are willing to take their lives to work hard with us, and their families can't even get some money when they die, do you think these soldiers have been used as free cannon fodder for us since they were born? As I said, I'll take care of the money thing, you just need to do it, and you don't have to worry about other things. Seeing Wu Zhongguo's growing anger, Su Dao was also angry, and replied impatiently.
According to the current prices, a hundred fiat currency can buy a big cow and a small calf, but Su Dao feels that the warriors have paid for their lives, shouldn't he take more money? Moreover, he has the medicine of penicillin in his hands, so it is naturally not a problem to feed the army, which is why Su Dao dares to do this. (To be continued.) )
