"If it's a temporary appointment, then there's no problem...... "the commander-in-chief affirmed.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and said: "Wang Ping, since the deputy commander and Minister Li have taken a fancy to you, then you should do it well, don't be ashamed, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly!" ”

"You don't know, the equipment you brought helped me a lot!"

"It won't be long before the Yan'an Left-behind Corps will form the first artillery battalion ever."

"Wang Huzi in front, that is, the Suide garrison area, also formed an infantry artillery company, a mortar company......"

"And those light and heavy machine guns, which directly raised the firepower of all the troops in the left-behind corps and the Suide garrison area by a notch!"

"I also thought about how to use five hundred submachine guns. Give Wang Huzi 100 troops, 100 left-behind corps, 100 cavalry units in the northwest of Yan'an, and the remaining 200 guard regiments directly under the equipment command......"

Minister Li also said: "Those materials and funds have also helped me a lot!" ”

"The gold and silver finance worth more than one million oceans, in addition to the direct inventory of gold and US dollars, the remaining oceans, fiat currencies, and yen are enough for us to use for nearly half a year!"

"Also, speaking of these funds, I think of a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army a few months ago, hoping that we will exchange all the fiat currency we have in hand for supplies and the ocean, even if we lose some, it doesn't matter. If I'm not mistaken, this suggestion seems to have been made by you, Wang Ping! ”

"We discussed it and decided to accept it, and looking back on it now, it's a bit of a relief!"

"As soon as we used all the fiat currency in our hands, the fiat currency in Chongqing began to depreciate!"

"A few months ago, four or five pieces of fiat currency could be exchanged for a piece of ocean, but now, ten pieces of fiat currency can't be exchanged for a piece of ocean!"

"Wang Ping, you don't know, just because of your suggestion, let the Eighth Route Army and the commander not reduce the losses of hundreds of thousands of oceans!"

Wang Ping replied with a serious face: "Chief, if I am not wrong, the fiat currency will continue to be compiled!" ”

"Chongqing's economic situation is not much better than ours, but they have to feed an army that is several times more than ours, or even more than ten times that of us. In the absence of money, if you want to feed so many troops, there is only one way, to print fiat currency on a large scale~"

"If this situation continues, I estimate that in a year at most, fiat currency will be turned into waste paper due to mass issuance!"

Minister Li replied with an appreciative face: "Yes, your judgment is exactly the same as the judgment of several old professors of the Ministry of Economic Affairs!" ”

Then he continued: "Deputy commander-in-chief, I said at the beginning that Wang Ping's ability in the economy will not be worse than in the military~ Now it seems that he has reached the level of those old professors!" ”

"I still stick to the original proposal, transfer Wang Ping out of the army, transfer him to the Ministry of Economy, and directly make him deputy minister!"

"I remember that Wang Ping was just a regiment commander and a regimental cadre in the army. The vice minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is a division-level cadre, as long as the deputy commander nods, I am sure Wang Ping will agree! ”

The more Minister Li spoke, the more excited he became, and in the face of Wang Ping's talent, he directly forgot about the commander-in-chief next to him, and completely dug his corner in front of the commander-in-chief.

The deputy commander did not speak, but looked embarrassed.

Just now, he assured the commander-in-chief that Wang Ping's appointment to the Ministry of Economic Affairs as a special adviser was only a temporary appointment, and Minister Li immediately revealed his true intentions.

"Lao Li, are you finished?" The commander-in-chief did not get angry, but asked with a smile and a confident expression.

Minister Li hurriedly explained: "Commander-in-chief, I don't want to dig into your corner! ）”

"It's just that you also know that we have too few talents in the economy, and it is not easy to find a talent, and it is still an old revolutionary, an old Red Army, and an old party member...... I can't help it~"

"And Wang Ping is a regiment commander in the army, and some cadres can take his position. But coming to the Ministry of Economic Affairs is different, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has only a few vice ministers, let him be the vice minister, and he will definitely be able to give better play to his talents! ”

The commander-in-chief asked rhetorically, "I heard that...... Lao Li, your words are actually very simple, Wang Ping plays a greater role in the Ministry of Economy than in the army! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Minister Li replied stubbornly.

The deputy commander is only in charge of the economy, and he also wants Wang Ping as a talent, but it is not easy to talk to the commander-in-chief.

Now that Minister Li has helped him speak, and what he said is reasonable, the deputy commander also wants to know how the commander-in-chief will explain.

If the explanation does not make sense, there will not be much opposition to transferring Wang Ping from the army to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

There was no change on the commander-in-chief's face, and he still had a sure expression, and then stared at the deputy commander and Minister Li and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Wang Ping is indeed a regiment commander in the army, a regiment-level cadre, and a colonel appointed by Chongqing. However, do you know how many troops Wang Ping has under his command, how big the base area he has established single-handedly, and how many little devils have died in the hands of his troops? ”

"In this way, it happens that Wang Ping is here, let him report to you by himself, which is more convincing!"

"It's ~ Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and replied: "When I left the base area, the total strength of the main force of the new regiment had already exceeded 15,000 people, and it was about to reach 19,000 people. ”

"When the new regiment reaches full strength, the total strength of the main force will reach 18,000 people!"

"With the addition of the local garrison troops, the total strength of all anti-Japanese armed forces in the base area will reach 25,000!"

"As for the scope of the base area, it has reached nine counties. And it's still expanding......"

"Is this still a regiment?" Minister Li couldn't help but exclaim!

"If I remember correctly, many other base areas don't have so many troops in one division~"

"Commander-in-chief, since Wang Ping already has so many troops in his hands and the base area is so large, why is Wang Ping still just a regiment commander, according to his military merits and qualifications, there is no problem in being a division commander!"

The commander-in-chief nodded affirmatively: "Yes, in the eyes of me and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Ping has long been our division-level cadre!" ”

"The reason why he wasn't promoted was because of Wang Ping's other identity, the colonel!"

"Wang Ping is the colonel regiment commander appointed by Chongqing, and he is also personally appointed by Chongqing, with him sitting in southwest Jinxi, he can do things that many of our other troops can't do!"

"Although he is only a regiment commander, for our Eighth Route Army, he is a Dinghai God Needle, pierced in the southwest of Shanxi ......"

The deputy commander-in-chief and Minister Li are both veteran revolutionaries who have experienced big waves, and they immediately heard the implicit meaning of the commander-in-chief's words.

After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, Minister Li was very reluctant and heartbroken, but still made a decision: "Commander-in-chief, I don't know this. Since Wang Ping's role is so great, he must continue to stay in the army! ”

"However, during his study in Yan'an, the position of special consultant must be both!"
