Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Li Yunlong laughed, and completely understood Chu Yunfei's intention this time, he was a lobbyist sent by Jiang Guangtou, who wanted to betray the Eighth Route Army to the camp of the national army.

Although his military rank is not high, he also holds an army of 100,000 in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 troops is also among the top in the Eighth Route Army.

This is not counting the more than 100,000 troops that were taken to the northeast by Ding Wei and Kong Jie, if all are counted, the troops that Li Yunlong can influence are more than 200,000 troops.

You must know that the strength of the Eighth Route Army has just reached about 1 million, and Li Yunlong's troops alone occupy more than 200,000 troops, accounting for one-fifth of the total strength of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, with Li Yunlong's military rank, he would not be able to enter Jiang Guangtou's eyes at all, and no one could ignore such a large number of troops.

Even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is not completely at ease with Li Yunlong, otherwise Li Yunlong's troops would not have been divided into two before, so that Li Yunlong could command half of the troops.

Although there are various reasons, the most direct reason is that the strength of Li Yunlong's troops has developed too fast.

As a leader in an organization, it is impossible to let the development of any force beyond his control, otherwise any mistake will lead to huge consequences.

Li Yunlong also understood this kind of behavior, so he did not have any dissatisfaction with the previous division of the army into two, and happily agreed.

Seeing that Li Yunlong just smiled at himself after reading the letter, and did not reply, Chu Yunfei's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Thinking that these conditions could not satisfy Li Yunlong's appetite, he patted it lightly on the table with his hand, and then said:

"Brother Yunlong, with the strength you are commanding now, although the position of this army commander is a little low, but there is no way to do it, after all, the chairman also has his own considerations, and he also has to take care of the emotions of other generals, it is impossible to promote your military rank too high."

As he spoke, Chu Yunfei observed Li Yunlong's expression again, and saw that there was no change, so he spoke again: "If the current conditions are not satisfied, there are other requirements that can be said, although Chu has a humble official position, as a student of Chairman Jiang, he can still help Brother Yunlong to be a lobbyist." Although there is no guarantee that all the conditions proposed by Brother Yunlong can be met, as long as it is not too excessive, it is not a big problem. ”

Chu Yunfei is now starting to be a little jealous of Li Yunlong, after all, as a descendant from Huangpu, even he himself is not valued by Li Yunlong.

You must know that he is from a serious academic background, and Li Yunlong is just a mud leg, to put it mildly, if it weren't for the war, people like Li Yunlong might have been digging in the soil all their lives, and they would never have a bright future.

And he himself is a man who is destined to rise to the top, and it is only a matter of time before he takes up important positions.

Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Li Yunlong's expression moved, it seemed that this Jiang bald head was really willing to win over himself, the position of a military commander was just to test the waters, and if he was not satisfied, he could make another request.

So Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I, Li Yun, am from a mud-legged background, how can Long He De make Chairman Jiang value him so much." ”

"Brother Yunlong, you can't say that, although your background is not very good, but you are not without advantages, leading troops to fight, even I, a person from a professional class, is beyond the reach of the dust, Chairman Jiang can value you, naturally there is a certain reason." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Chu Yunfei hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Brother Yunlong, look at this .........." Chu Yunfei pointed to the letter in Li Yunlong's hand and said.

Li Yunlong understood what he meant, that is, he asked him if he agreed to change his course, but he couldn't say it too clearly, so Chu Yunfei could only be vague.

"Brother Chu, dissatisfied with you, brother, I'm not very satisfied with the current status quo, you said that I want soldiers in my hands, and I want to have territory, but the treatment given to me from above is still so low, not to mention high-ranking officials, not even a girl, you must know that I am not young at this age, if I am placed in the countryside, even children will play soy sauce."

In order to pretend to be like Li Yunlong, he also squeezed out a few tears hard, took Chu Yunfei's hand and said with a handful of snot and tears: "But the organization doesn't even solve personal problems for me, if Chairman Jiang really arranges a few beautiful women for me Li Yunlong to be his wife as he said in the letter, then I will definitely seriously consider the matter of changing course." There is also the ...... official position, you see, although my brother's current position is not high, but the number of troops in his hands is more than 200,000, is this army commander's position a little low, can Brother Yunfei help me to tell Chairman Jiang about the invitation, and improve the rank. ”

Chu Yunfei was very disgusted by Li Yunlong wiping his nose with his sleeve, but he couldn't say anything if he asked Li Yunlong now.

I can only force myself to calm down, for fear that I will have a seizure, so I will give Li Yunlong a look. After hearing Li Yunlong's words, although he had been mentally prepared for Li Yunlong's promise to change his course, he was still a little overjoyed.

After all, this time, his only task was to persuade Li Yunlong to let Li Yunlong defect to the camp of the national army.

So Chu Yunfei said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Yunlong, just by virtue of our relationship, I will definitely agree to this little favor, you just wait for my good news here." ”

"If nothing else, we will be able to come down in a few days, and then we will be brothers in the same camp, so we have to be close and close."

"Certainly, definitely, then I, Li Yunlong, will wait here for the good news of Brother Chu." Li Yunlong arched his hand and said.

Seeing that Li Yunlong agreed, Chu Yunfei didn't stay here long, and after a few polite words with Li Yunlong, he got up and said goodbye.

After all, after the matter is done, he still has to report to the above, as for the conditions proposed by Li Yunlong, it should not be a problem in his mind, the matter of the beautiful wife is easy to solve, but the position is a little difficult to handle.

After all, there are millions of troops in the national army, and there are many excellent generals, and there will definitely be many people who are not satisfied with the position given to Li Yunlong, but this kind of thing is not something he can decide.

After Chu Yunfei left, before Li Yunlong could sit down and rest, Zhao Gang walked in from outside.

"Lao Li, I heard that Chu Yun flew over, what is he looking for you?" When Zhao Gang came in, he saw that there was no one in the house, so he asked Li Yunlong.

After all, we are now in an important period of negotiations between the KMT and the Communist Party, and the slightest disturbance can affect the outcome of the negotiations. So when he learned that Chu Yunfei came to find Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang became nervous all of a sudden, for fear that Li Yunlong would not be able to resist the temptation and fall for Chu Yunfei's tricks, so he hurried over in a hurry.

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong handed the letter that Chu Yunfei had given him before and handed it directly to Zhao Gang.

Anyway, he was not ready to agree to this matter, and Li Yunlong was not prepared to accept the sugar-coated cannonball given by Jiang Guangtou.

After all, as a person who came over, Li Yunlong knew that in the next KMT-CCP dispute, the national army would definitely not win.

And Li Yunlong didn't believe in Jiang Guangtou's personality, after all, compared to an officer from Huangpu, Li Yunlong was an outsider, and the reason why Jiang Guangtou promised many benefits to win him over was just to divide the forces of the various units of the Eighth Route Army. It is simply impossible to regard Li Yunlong's troops as a descendant.

As a result of Zhao Gang's confusion, the letter in Li Yunlong's hand, although he didn't understand what it was, he still read it intently.

"Lao Li, ...... you, did you agree?" Zhao Gang asked Li Yunlong after reading the letter.

Although he has been with Li Yunlong for so long, he is not sure if Li Yunlong can resist such a big temptation.

After all, for the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the conditions given by Chairman Liang are very tempting, especially for people like Li Yunlong, who are in their thirties, and they don't even have a daughter-in-law.

Also as a man, Zhao Gang also knows that the phrase that heroes are sad about beauty is not empty words.

How many celebrities in history have fallen on women, and he is not sure if Li Yunlong can be unaffected.

But the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Li Yunlong are particularly important to the Eighth Route Army, especially at such a critical moment, a little accident is a catastrophic problem for the organization.

"What do you say, if I had such a mind, I could still give you the letter?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang angrily and said.

"This ......, I'm a little anxious, I'm sorry Lao Li, I'm also ......." Zhao Gang said embarrassedly.

He didn't deliberately ignore these details, but the problem was too important, after all, Li Yunlong held one-fifth of the entire Eighth Route Army in his hands, although half of the troops were taken away by Ding Wei and Kong Jie to go to the northeast, but the low-level commanders in the army were all trained by Li Yunlong.

Therefore, if Li Yunlong had other ideas, it would be a disastrous consequence for the organization.

"Okay, I know that if you care about it, don't worry, you don't know me yet, I am heartfelt to the organization, and it is impossible to be moved by Jiang Guangtou's sugar-coated cannonballs." Li Yunlong said with an oath.

"I'm relieved of this, what about this letter?" Zhao Gang patted his heart, then pointed to the letter in his hand and said to Li Yunlong.

"Leave it to headquarters. If I don't feel at ease organizationally, I can put down my military power and go to the headquarters to report. Li Yunlong said with a smile.

He also didn't know if the heads of the headquarters fully trusted him, after all, it was not a trivial problem.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang was a little at a loss, after all, if this matter was reported to the headquarters, then no matter whether Li Yunlong had other thoughts or not, it would be impossible for the headquarters to put Li Yunlong in such an important position.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and even if Li Yunlong did not have crooked thoughts, the headquarters would temporarily take away Li Yunlong's command of the troops.

So Zhao was so entangled just now, after all, he and Li Yunlong have been together for so long, and they still have feelings, he believes in Li Yunlong, but it doesn't mean that other people in the organization also believe in Li Yunlong.

But if you don't hand in the letter, the organization will learn about it in the future, and there will be trouble.

"Lao Zhao, you just do what I say and hand over the letter to the headquarters, as for how to deal with it, I can't accept it." Li Yunlong said indifferently.

Anyway, there will be no war during this period, and even if you are temporarily transferred from your post by the headquarters, it will be nothing, and you can just stop and rest.

Seeing that Li Yunlong was in a good mood and was not affected by this incident, Zhao Gang comforted Li Yunlong a few words, and then walked out of the command room and sent personnel to send the letter to the headquarters.

When the headquarters received the letter sent by Zhao Gang, they were also very nervous, after all, this is not a trivial matter, it is related to one-fifth of the troops in the army.

Therefore, the head of the headquarters hurriedly summoned leaders at all levels for a meeting to discuss how to deal with Li Yunlong's affairs.

After all, Li Yunlong's troops are different from other troops, and the expansion and development of Li Yunlong's troops has not received support from the headquarters, and everything is solved by Li Yunlong alone.

Even the weapons and equipment when the troops were expanded were captured by himself, so the headquarters did not have much control over Li Yunlong's department at all.

All the low-level commanders were all trained and appointed by Li Yunlong himself, and the greatest support given by the headquarters was only to merge Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong's troops together.

But before the merger, the strength of Li Yunlong's troops had already developed, so even after the merger, Li Yunlong was completely in control of the appointment of most of the officers in the army.

Most of the officers appointed during the expansion were also Li Yunlong's old troops, after all, compared with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong's vision was ahead of his time and he was ready for the expansion of the army early.

The National Defense Military Academy founded by Li Yunlong has also developed well over the past year or so, and the first batch of academies have been reused after completing their studies.

was arranged to serve as officers at all levels in the army, and even in the troops that were taken to the northeast by Ding Wei Kongjie, most of the middle-level officers came from the National Defense Military Academy.

As a military academy, the National Defense Military Academy founded by Li Yunlong is also unique among all the military training courses of the Eighth Route Army, and its teaching strength ranks among the top three.

All of this is due to Li Yunlong's advanced vision.

In order to solve the shortage of low-level officers caused by the large-scale expansion of the troops, Li Yunlong specially set up a three-month training course in the school to prepare for the training of lowest-level officers for the troops.

All officers at the level of squad leader and company commander in the unit should take turns to attend the training class for a period of three months.

After passing the examination, you can return to your original unit and continue to serve as a commander, otherwise you can only stay in school to continue your studies, or you can resign from your original position and become a lowest-level soldier.

Because Li Yunlong knew that the most important reason why the German army was rampant in Europe was the quality of the officers as a whole, especially the low-level officers, and sometimes knowledge was also an invisible combat effectiveness.

Before, there was no way but to make do, but now it is different, as long as there are conditions, Li Yunlong wants to put all the officers in the army, as long as they are commanders with troops, regardless of the size of the official position, they must pass aside in the military academy.
