On July 15, a jeep and a truck with a blue sky and white sun flag arrived at the military headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan, who got the news, were already waiting at the door. Once, they were in the 5th Army of the Expeditionary Force, and they were only middle-level officers, while Major General Luo Siyang was a senior general.

A young general stepped out of the jeep. Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan hurriedly greeted them.

"Hello Chief of Staff!" Both of them saluted Major General Luo Siyang. Although they no longer agree with the national * army, they still have to do the work of saving face, so as not to give others the truth.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Major General Luo Siyang hurriedly shirked. If you pay attention, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes when he looked at Qin Shou. It's just a flash and no one notices.

As a thirty-year-old major general, among so many generals in the national * army, Luo Siyang is definitely a standard young faction, a new generation. However, if you want to compare with Qin Shou, then he is far behind. Qin Shou, this time not only promoted three levels in a row, but also became a lieutenant general. Moreover, a force of tens of thousands of people was mastered. This army is already much more than even the 5th Monarch of the Expeditionary Force in its heyday.

"Chief of Staff, please come inside." Qin Shou's face was full of smiles.

The group came to the military headquarters, Luo Siyang looked around first, and then said: "Commander Qin, Chief of Staff Liu." This time, I have been ordered by the commission to commend you for your performance on the battlefield in Burma. ”

As soon as they heard the word commission, Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan immediately stood upright. In the national army, this is to show respect for bald heads. However, the two of them were a little unimpressed.

"Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan, at a critical juncture, led the remnants of the expeditionary force to defeat the Japanese invaders on the battlefield in Burma, and carried forward the prestige of the country. Luo Siyang began to read out the commendation order.

"It's just a verbal award, nothing real. Lao Jiang is really too stingy. Qin Shou slandered in his heart.

For Qin Shou, this dry commendation order is not as good as awarding himself 108,000 US dollars, or giving himself a few thousand additional soldiers, in that case, it is a little more affordable.

"Commander Qin, Chief of Staff Liu. The committee has high hopes for your department! Luo Siyang smiled.

"Yes, Chief of Staff. But isn't there anything substantial other than the commendation order? Like bonuses or something? Qin Shou asked directly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Luo Siyang's face: "Commander Qin, now the country is in a crisis, and there are not so many funds. ”

Qin Shou pursed his lips and said nothing more.

"By the way, the commission signed a promotion order for you, appointing Commander Qin as a lieutenant general of the army, Chief of Staff Liu as a major general of the army, and the commanders of the regiments below have all been promoted to colonels. Commander Qin, this is the great love of the commission for you! Luo Siyang hurriedly said.

was promoted three levels in a row, and a young man in his early twenties suddenly became a lieutenant general in the army, which is absolutely unique in the national * army.

"Thank you!" Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan hurriedly expressed their gratitude. Although they don't care about such a military rank, Jiang Guangtou's appointment can make them a legitimate general.

"General Luo, I'm afraid your news is a little lagging behind. The current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is no longer just a few regiments. We have now reorganized our forces with four infantry divisions and six brigades. Therefore, only a few former regiment commanders were promoted to colonels, I am afraid that some of them are too much to say. Liu Shiquan said suddenly.

"4 infantry divisions and six brigades? So much? Luo Siyang was stunned for a moment. He hurried from the country and didn't have time to understand the situation clearly. However, the fact that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has developed so big is indeed beyond his expectations.

"And how many of you are there now?"

"A little more than 120,000!" Qin Shou replied with some embarrassment.

"120,000?" Luo Siyang was completely speechless. When the expeditionary force was first formed, there were only more than 100,000 people! Now, these two guys have actually pulled up a force of more than 100,000 people, is there any reason for this! Moreover, they also received the support of the Americans, and they were equipped with American-style equipment on a large scale, wouldn't this be to pull up a more powerful force than the expeditionary force?

Of course, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has long been more powerful than the Expeditionary Force. The expeditionary force was beaten by the Japanese * himself and suffered heavy losses. However, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army defeated the Japanese themselves one after another and won many victories.

"General Qin, General Liu. If you know the size of your troops, you will be very happy. However, the name of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was not very liked by the Commissioner, and it would undoubtedly be better if the name of the Expeditionary Force could continue to be used. ”

"Jiang Guangtou is not happy, what does it matter to me? Now Lao Tzu didn't use a penny of his salary or a bullet. Qin Shou was not angry.

"General Luo, the reason why I took this name is what the American side means. Now, our supplies and equipment are provided by the Americans, and if we fall out with them, it will not do us any good. Qin Shou pushed everything onto the Americans.

"Americans?" Luo Siyang's face was not very good-looking, but he still didn't say anything. After all, the Americans can't even be offended by Jiang Baldhead.

"General Qin, General Liu, the name is just a title, and it has no special meaning. As long as you remember that you are a member of the national * army, remember to serve the country, and serve the commission, then it will be fine. Luo Siyang said.

"General Luo, of course we will serve the country. However, we are now facing a lot of problems, the biggest one being the number of soldiers and salaries. We also plan to continue to expand our troops, so we hope that the country will be able to provide us with a number of high-quality soldiers. In addition, the military pay we are now using as a reference to the US military standard, and it is roughly set at half of the US military. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army now has 120,000 people, and the monthly military salary, plus food money, clothing, and the like, needs about 5 million US dollars. We have been in arrears to the soldiers for three months, and the soldiers are already a little dissatisfied. If the commissioner can send us this batch of military salaries, then we will be grateful. As for the expansion of the troops, we also plan to expand the two infantry divisions, which will probably require about 40,000 men. Liu Shiquan began to make requests.

"By the way, in terms of military salaries, we only recognize US dollars, and legal tender is counted. That thing is no different from waste paper. Liu Shiquan added another sentence.

It's just that he then saw that Luo Siyang's face had become very ugly.
