It is Wu Ming's habit to do it when he thinks about it, and this habit has become more and more obvious in his military career over the years, and the officers and soldiers under his command all know Wu Ming's strict requirements and vigorous and resolute action, so the work efficiency of the entire regiment has always been very high, and it is estimated that it has a lot to do with Wu Ming's rigorous and responsible character.

After making up his mind, Wu Ming rushed to Hangzhou under the pretext of going to the provincial security office to submit an equipment procurement application report, and the adjutant did not bring it.

Liu Rulin was surprised and very happy to see Wu Ming, and closed the door of the office to ask what happened on Lushan.

Wu Ming was very helpless, and now that his friends saw it, they put everything down first, and asked what happened in Lushan first. Wu Ming smiled bitterly, so he had to briefly explain what happened, but fortunately, this matter had been said several times, and Wu Ming was very fluent in it.

Liu Rulin was shocked, although this matter was worthy of sympathy, he couldn't help but scold Wu Ming again, and then teach him earnestly.

In the evening, Liu Rulin held a family banquet to entertain Wu Ming, and Fang Youchun and Ma Zhizhai naturally arrived. As soon as the two guys met, they immediately asked about what happened on Lushan, which made Wu Ming very annoyed, not to say that it was not good, so he could only recite it obediently, and after the worst, he inevitably scolded and admonished again, Wu Ming felt more and more like Xianglin's sister-in-law.

After three rounds of drinking, Fang Youchun asked Wu Ming: "I heard that the 14th Division of the 18th Army drove away?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "They pulled out before I came back, and I couldn't see them off...... Since Zhou Zhirou, commander of the 14th Division, was transferred to Europe to inspect the construction of the Air Force, Huo Yuzhang, the former brigade commander, has been acting as the commander of the 14th Division. ”

"As far as I know, after General Chen Cheng resigned from the post of commander of the 18th Army, he recommended that General Luo Zhuoying take over the post of army commander, and the chairman agreed, but asked for a delay, so that General Chen Cheng would first hang up the post of army commander, and General Luo Zhuoying, the deputy army commander, would act as the commander of the whole army, Xiao Qian would still serve as the commander of the 11th Division, and the recruits of the two regiments that the younger brother assisted them in training had already left the Phoenix Mountain base and returned to the Changshan barracks, and it is estimated that they will also leave the Fenghuangshan base and return to the Changshan barracks, and it is estimated that they will also leave for Jiangxi at the end of the month."

Later, Ma Zhizhai asked how the training of the three recruit regiments of the Second Security Division was doing. As soon as Wu Ming heard this, he knew that Yu Jishi, who had just come back, did not inform them of the situation, so he told everyone the truth.

Seeing that everyone just nodded and didn't say anything, Wu Ming asked curiously, "Why are you all so weird?" Could it be that there are any new changes in our Zhejiang army? ”

Fang Youchun is now in charge of the overall situation, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the security regiments in various places, Ma Zhizhai devoted himself to the whole training of the first security division, and Liu Rulin, who was in charge of the specific work, had to tell Wu Ming:

"After receiving the order of the Central Government and the Central Military Affairs Committee, the provincial government and the security department made a corresponding decision, the original directly subordinate security forces only retained one division and two brigades, and the provincial army was readjusted in accordance with the requirements of the document...... After the original security regiments in various localities were streamlined, they were all transferred to the local police system, and those officers at all levels who were willing to continue to be transferred to the local police chiefs, and those who were unwilling to give money to discharge their armor and return to the fields. ”

Seeing Wu Ming's surprised appearance, Liu Rulin, who was robbed by the Central Army again, was also quite uncomfortable:

"Alas, our Zhejiang army is the chairman's own land, and we can harvest when we want...... Now, we still have the teaching regiment and the first regiment stationed in Hangzhou, the second regiment stationed in Jiaxing, and the rest are Chen Zhaoxian's fourth regiment and your fifth regiment guarding the country."

"Your two regiments shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the territory and the people on the border of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and no one dares to act rashly, our next plan is to merge the first and second regiments into the first brigade and appoint Xie Zixuan as the brigade commander of the major general; The 4th and 5th regiments will form the second brigade, and you will be the brigade commander, and the station will still be ...... western Zhejiang."

"But surprisingly, after seeing the plan we reported today, Director Yu did not agree with the formation plan of the Second Brigade, but he did not specify the reason, we were worried that he would take you away, and we were very worried."

Wu Ming suddenly made up his mind, and told the three eldest brothers a summary of the conversation between himself and Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng, and said very confidently after the end:

"Don't worry, at least in the next two years, Director Yu will not transfer me away, and it will be difficult to say after two years, it depends on how the situation develops at that time...... If the encirclement and suppression operation is frustrated, or if the little Japan calls, I'm afraid it's useless for me to roll on the ground, if the encirclement and suppression in the south goes well, or if the little Japan does not continue to cross the Great Wall and go south, the little brother will not be transferred, and the fifth regiment will still be stationed in western Zhejiang. ”

Liu Rulin and the others breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time, and their faces tended to be softer.

Fang Youchun thought for a while and said: "It can be seen that Director Yu still admires the younger brother very much, but what is strange is that he doesn't seem to agree with the appointment of the younger brother as the commander of the Second Brigade, but instead sends people around to collect information about the fourth regiment commander Chen Zhaoxian, which makes people scratch their heads, will he have any other ideas?" ”

"There must be an idea, but I don't know what he thinks, why don't you ask him tomorrow?" Liu Rulin suggested.

Fang Youchun nodded: "It's okay, let me ask." ”

Ma Zhizhai raised his wine glass and touched a glass with Wu Ming, poured it down his throat and wiped his mouth: "Little brother, you must not leave, as soon as you leave, our Zhejiang army will still be like a fart?" Looking at the four regiments, the most capable ones are you and your five regiments, and we still count on you to be responsible for the next stage of the whole division training + planning. ”

"It's okay, as long as someone has food and equipment, the brothers can take rotation training! Method, send the regiments to western Zhejiang for training, it only takes half a year, I dare not say that the combat effectiveness has been doubled, at least in terms of military appearance, military discipline, military skills, and other aspects have been significantly improved, how to do it, or wait for the younger brother to come back from Shanghai. Wu Ming smiled brightly, and was very willing to do his best for the three eldest brothers.

Fang Youchun asked puzzledly, "Why did you kid go to Shanghai?" ”

Wu Ming was a little weak-hearted, but he reacted quickly, pointed to Liu Rulin on the side and said: "Brother Liu knows about this, he just approved the procurement report of the younger brother in the afternoon, and the younger brother needs to go to Shanghai in person to meet his old friend Ai Youde and discuss the matter clearly in person, otherwise the little brother will not be at ease with such a large amount of money." ”

Liu Rulin, who didn't have any fancy intestines, nodded and introduced the situation to Fang Youchun and Ma Zhizhai:

"Wu Ming submitted a purchase application in the afternoon, and I approved it after reading it, the equipment of their Phoenix Mountain Training Base Repair Institute is aging, and they need to purchase a set of more advanced multi-functional lathes, and the grenades and mortar shells they developed have passed the inspection of the Ordnance Industry Administration, I don't know whose back door this kid went to, and got the production license signed by Yu Dawei, the director of the Ordnance Industry Bureau, and can be officially put into production......"

"There is also that the multi-functional marching tent they designed and made by themselves before was taken by the Central Army, and asked for a batch of customization, and he wanted to go to Shanghai to buy and sell a batch of industrial sewing machines, and it is estimated that orders will be indispensable in the future, not to mention anything else, only the Eighteenth Army will purchase a lot of things from him in the future."

Fang Youchun didn't care after hearing this, Wu Ming hurriedly raised his wine glass, took turns to salute the three eldest brothers, and in a blink of an eye, he brought the topic to military equipment.

It happened that Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai were worried about the messy equipment of their security guards, and immediately discussed and weighed with Wu Ming, and the experienced Fang Youchun also mentioned a sentence or two from time to time, and the argument was extremely fierce for a while.

In the end, Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai were persuaded by Wu Ming's rigorous data and sufficient reasons, and Fang Youchun thought about it for a long time and expressed his approval, and unanimously decided to take this opportunity to spend the 2.8 million yuan of military spending that he had quietly accumulated in the past two years to purchase seven regiments of German-made weapons and equipment, and even the submachine gun used the Bergman NPP submachine gun produced by the Swedish G company after the improvement of the German enterprise.

All kinds of old weapons that have been replaced are naturally cheaper than Wu Ming, who has a repair shop under the pretext of refurbishment and maintenance, as long as the weapons and equipment replaced by the six regiments and all the stocks are sent to Wu Ming, no one can expect to take them back.

Leaving Liu Rulin's house, Wu Ming naturally wanted to go to his brother-in-law Fang Youchun's house to live, Fang's sister-in-law and Xiaoxin's two brothers and sisters were so happy that they pestered Wu Ming until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night before they were forced to go to bed. ”

Wu Ming knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth: "Not counting the two battalions of the Maoliangwu militia regiment, the whole regiment has a total of 5,480 officers and soldiers, including two infantry battalions stationed at border posts for a long time with a total of 1,400 people, and the regiment headquarters plus five companies directly under the regiment with a total of 1,200 people, and the rest are in the two training bases north and south of Phoenix Mountain. ”

Fang Youchun gasped: "Five thousand four hundred and eighty people, my God, this is an integrated brigade, I'm afraid all the money you have earned in the past few years has been thrown into it?" ”

"The taxes at several border checkpoints are basically enough, plus the dividends of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, the appropriations from you and Chief Yu from time to time, plus the 300,000 yuan obtained by helping the Quzhou Administration to suppress bandits, there is still a lot left, at least before the end of next year, you don't have to worry about money, but you can only maintain this scale, and you can't stand it more."

Wu Ming concealed a lot of gray income, but it was interesting enough for his eldest brother.

Facing his brother-in-law who was skilled in accumulating money, Fang Youchun was completely out of line: "Pay attention, the troops must not be expanded again, otherwise they will definitely not be able to hide...... I'm very worried that when Yu Ji, they will see your true strength, and they will get you into the Central Military System through Chairman Jiang, and it doesn't matter if the chickens and eggs are beaten at that time, it will be very troublesome if you are sued, be careful, you have to guard against it."

"Remembered."

Wu Ming agreed, but he was a little disapproving.
