Chapter 408: Operation "Stripping" in the Eighth War Zone (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )
The incident between Liu Li and Li Haiping made Chen Feng suddenly realize that he cared too little and too little about these officers under him, especially in terms of personal life, he didn't seem to take good care of them, and at the same time didn't set a good example for them!
Chen Feng secretly calculated that there were more than 50 divisions and brigades in the five group armies of the entire Eighth War Zone, hundreds of generals, and there seemed to be only two people who got married and had babies besides himself, one was Victor and the other was Qin Wuyang.
Viktor is in his fifties this year, and was previously the deputy commander of the Russian Royal Cavalry Division, and married the daughter of a nobleman when he was in Tsarist Russia, and gave birth to a girl after marriage. Originally, Victor was happy, but unfortunately an October Revolution overthrew the rule of Tsarist Russia, and at the same time completely broke the happy life of their old officers. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Victor did not have time to say goodbye to his family, so he fled to China with Yehelina's father, and has not returned to Moscow, and it is not clear whether his wife and daughter are still alive.
As for Qin Wuyang, he is much more strange than Victor, as a small warlord in the Sichuan army, Qin Wuyang is also regarded as the number one person in the Xikang region, like all warlords in this era, after taking the throne, Qin Wuyang put all his energy into the sound of dogs and horses. By the time he was transferred to the front line in Songhu, Qin Wuyang already had 11 wives, but unfortunately only the second wife gave birth to a girl for him.
Not long ago, Qin Wuyang asked Chen Feng to inquire about his home, but the news came back was not good, because Qin Wuyang's brigade did not withdraw from the Songhu battlefield at all. Therefore, the vast majority of people believed that he and his brigade had all remained in Shanghai, so his territory had been annexed by Liu Wenhui's troops as early as the end of 38.
Liu Wenhui didn't embarrass Qin Wuyang's family, but even so, those orphans and widows lived very hard, and now only 3 of the 11 wives are left, and the rest have returned to their parents' homes, and even a few have remarried. Chen Feng had already sent someone to pick up Qin Wuyang's family, after all, there was no longer Qin Wuyang's territory in the Xikang region, and it was impossible for him to return to the life of the little warlord before.
On the surface, the Eighth Military Region looks beautiful, but in fact it is a singles battalion. The soldiers below are fine. Generally, they were married at home before they joined the army, and even before they were married, most families were engaged. But it is all too common for officers to be single, almost all of them from top to bottom.
Such a phenomenon would not be unusual if it was placed on the side of the Eighth Route Army. After all, the marriage over there has to be reported to the superiors. If you don't meet the standards, you can't get married. Therefore, it is normal for there to be many singles in the Eighth Route Army. But the Eighth Military Region doesn't have so many rules, let alone the soldiers, there are almost no restrictions. Officers though have certain vetting requirements. But the standard is not very high, as long as the other party is an innocent Chinese, then you can get married.
However, because some of the senior officers above were not married, they went up and down, resulting in the Eighth War Zone becoming the current singles battalion. This phenomenon is not only extremely common on the side of the field troops, but even the female soldiers in charge of logistics and battlefield medical and health care have also been affected, less than one-tenth of the 30,000 or 40,000 female soldiers in the Eighth War Zone are married, and the rest are all female singles, which makes Chen Feng, a commander who has four wives in one marriage, feel very ashamed.
Soon, an order issued by the Commander's Department of the Eighth Theater quickly spread throughout the entire Eighth Theater, and even spread rapidly among the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Japanese Army.
Why did this order spread so quickly and widely? Not because of how important it is, but because this order is so incredible, the Eighth Theater Commander's Department has actually ordered the Eighth Theater Commander's Department to submit an application for marriage to the Theater Commander's Department within one month, the time limit for brigade-level cadres is 2 months, the regiment-level cadres are given a grace period of 3 months, and the battalion-level cadres are given a grace period of half a year because of the large number of cadres.
In addition, the Theater Command also requires all divisions and brigades to hold an officer blind date meeting in the shortest possible time, but the men who participate in the blind date meeting must be officers of the 8th Theater of Operations, and although the women do not have such high requirements, they must also be public officials of the provincial government of Saibei Province, including teachers, doctors, nurses, etc.!
This order directly surprised all parties, and they couldn't figure out what this young Chinese general wanted to do, why he was so careless, and their heads couldn't keep up with Chen Feng's whimsical ideas. Not only could they not keep up, but the provincial government of Saibei Province and all the people in the Eighth War Zone could not keep up with Chen Feng's thoughts.
Chen Feng doesn't care if he can't keep up, what he cares about is whether the officers under him can get out of singleness as soon as possible, and he, the commander, must give these people who are working hard with him a stable home.
This order is very popular with the middle and low-level officers of the Eighth War Zone, and not everyone wants to be a bachelor, although the bachelor is very honorable, but seeing that his superiors and comrades-in-arms are bare, many people can only endure even if they have this idea. Now with this order from the Theater Command, many people can do things justifiably.
And the senior officers are more helpless, especially Li Wensheng, Yang Yi and others are dumbfounded, they have fought for half their lives and have come alone, in the past, because of various reasons such as low level and poor family, so they did not marry, now the level has gone up, and the money is there, but the little devils have come in, they have been busy fighting devils, and they have no time to think about marrying a daughter-in-law, this time these guys are still bare in their thirties.
If Chen Feng didn't say it before, they shouldn't be the same thing. They didn't expect that Chen Feng would directly give them orders with the documents of the theater command, although it is a matter of life, but the issuance of documents with the official documents of the theater headquarters is a military order, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, which one dares to disobey.
Now the problem comes, usually the big guys are wandering around the troops, and even the cockroaches they see are all male, and the women don't know a few at all, and they don't want to let them find a woman to marry casually with their rank, and for a while, the field hospitals and logistics departments of the various units in the Eighth Theater have become the places where all officers can go to "inspect", and everyone knows what to do, anyway, the directors of each hospital and the top leaders of the logistics departments are worried.
Li Wensheng, Yang Yi and Xu Hu are not only anxious about their marriage, but Chen Feng is also anxious, they are all heroes and heroes who fight one by one, and it has become a common thing for them to find a woman to marry, Chen Feng had no choice but to invite his wife and wife to come out, they know many more women than Chen Feng, and if there is a suitable one, they can introduce those guys.
Let's not mention that the blind date and marriage tide set off by the Eighth War Zone are spreading to the entire Saibei region, let's go back to the war in Europe.
From 18 to 22 January, the freed German forces sent a steady stream of paratroopers and airborne troops to Narvik, bringing the strength of the defensive position to 10 battalions. The Germans in central Norway also advanced more than 300 kilometers north along the coast towards the city of Narvik, seized the ports of Moshauen and Makui, and advanced towards Hakado.
In the heat of battle, the Germans often used paratrooper units and a small number of landing troops at sea to bypass the British positions and enter the rear area. Whenever this happened, the British were forced to retreat quickly, or they were cut off and surrendered. Soon after, the Allies began to withdraw their forces after the last resistance in northern Norway. By 24 January, the Germans had occupied all of Norway.
Although the German airborne assault on Norway took a full 24 days, it was a full 37 days shorter than in history. In this operation, Germany mobilized a huge group of paratroopers and transport planes, which became the largest example of airborne operations and airlift supplies in the history of warfare. As many as 500 transport planes built the world's first 'air bridge', and although the German army lost 170 transport planes and suffered more than 1,000 casualties among the airborne troops due to bad weather and poor airport conditions, the entire campaign was a success.
At the same time as the Germans occupied Denmark and Norway, large numbers of Jews were transported to Berlin, where they were forcibly put onto trains and then transported to China, where they returned loaded with various medicines. Chen Feng of the regional German government has never been stingy, whether it is penicillin drugs, streptomycin drugs, or tetracyclines, he is willing to provide drugs for Germans as long as they have money.
In addition, during this time, a large number of transport planes and strategic bombers will take off from large airports such as Guisui and Baotou every day, and then fly to Nanyang Territory. At the same time, the three major fleets under Chen Feng's command also received the second batch of naval ships from the United States and are on their way back to the Nanyang Territory from the United States.
Also returning with the naval fleet this time were 20 50,000-ton ocean-going cargo ships and 50 20,000-ton cruise ships, all of which Chen Feng ordered people to buy back from the United States, and these ships were loaded with all kinds of materials, including rice, flour, grain, oil, and various condiments for daily use, as well as various tools and equipment for production, and the production and living materials needed by hundreds of thousands of people were not a small amount.
And the transport fleet to and from Australia is countless, the Chen family's vigorous development of the South Seas Territory has made all Australians see business opportunities, an almost poor territory, an upstart lord who can repair houses with gold, what is this equal to, this is equal to a vast market and huge business opportunities. As a result, far-sighted Australian businessmen have invested their money in foreign trade, and their foresight has made them a lot of money. (To be continued......)
