Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 956 Tang Tuanzuo's Cake! (seeking a monthly ticket)
In addition to the rewards required for the winners of military exploits, the other is the pension for the sacrificed officers and soldiers.

Nearly half of the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment who died this time were recruits absorbed into the three infantry battalions this time, and their families all settled in a small town seven or eight miles away from the regiment headquarters.

Tomorrow is the ceremony designated by Tang Dao for the sacrificial soldiers. Family members and representatives of the surrounding people are also invited to participate. If the family members cannot give an explanation after the ceremony is over, it will disappoint the living and make the dead soldiers feel helpless. Rest assured, the hearts of the people will also be cold.

The slogan "Fight the devils with the Four Elements Group and restore the land and mountains of our homeland" is shouted louder and louder, but the death is in vain. Parents, wives and children have no one to support them. Who dares to follow you to do such a job that will lose your head at every turn.

The Eightieth Army can rely on describing the future call, but the Four Elements Group really dare not do so at present.

Money and food are the best protection for the family members!

After all, it was in exchange for life.

"In my opinion, according to the standard set by the regiment before, each soldier who died in battle paid 200 yuan, and each officer paid 300 yuan. The regiment's current financial reserves should still be enough to support the families of these recruits and veterans, because the families are still in their hometowns." If the money cannot be delivered temporarily, then write it down first, and then send it to someone when the time is right." Guo Shouzhi suggested.

This statement was agreed by most of the people present.

At this time, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has established a Pension Section. According to the current Army Pension Regulations: Officers, starting from warrant officers, receive a one-time pension of 300 oceans, and an annual pension of 120 oceans, with different standards for different levels; It is a one-time pension of 150 and an annual pension of 80. The lowest level of private soldiers is a one-time pension of 80 and an annual pension of 40.

According to the Pension Regulations of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, the recruits who died in the Sixing Regiment battle only need to pay 80 oceans first, and then give their families 40 oceans a year, which is a much smaller burden.

Guo Shouzhi's move more than doubled the soldiers' pensions in one go.

The number of 200 oceans is indeed not small in this era. It is enough for a rural family of five to spend four to five years, and it is enough to support parents, wives and children.

This is also out of practical considerations. The Four Elements Group has seized a lot of gold now, but let alone the gold has not been exchanged for oceans, even if all of them have been exchanged for oceans, the expenses will be high.

Because the Four Elements Regiment is now temporarily under the jurisdiction of the 22nd Army, but the 22nd Army itself is so poor that it is almost like pants, who has the time to take care of you as an immigrant, and you don’t know when you will get a lot of funds such as military pay and so on. moon.

That also means that at least for a long period of time, the Four Elements Regiment must be self-sufficient, and Tang Tuanzuo has already put the military expansion plan on the agenda. than 6000 mouths to eat, what's more terrible is that there is still an arsenal and other supporting measures to be built.

All these need money, cash!
Even Lei Xiong, who was most considerate of his brothers, originally wanted to strive for more benefits for these soldiers who died in battle, but at this moment, he glanced at the future expenditure plan of the regiment that Zhuang Shisan had provided earlier, and could only silently say Close it, defaulting to Guo Shouzhi's suggestion as the most feasible.

"It seems that you all think that 200 oceans is enough to buy a life." Tang Dao stood up and walked to the window. No one could see his expression.

But obviously, Tang Tuanzuo didn't agree with this proposal that was absolutely reasonable at present.

"I know that you are all thinking about the regiment, and like this pension amount, once you open the mouth, it will not be easy to get it back in the future. It is a good thing that the regiment's financial resources can support it, but if it can't support it, we will take the lead Damn it, it's about to be roasted on the fire." Tang Dao's cold voice continued.

"However, you all think about it from your own perspective, but is there anyone who really thinks about it from the perspective of those soldiers who have died, those who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers? "

"Yes, when our group met them, their family was in an unfixed place, and more than 50.00% of them might be tired and hungry on the road without knowing the direction. But, I ask you to understand one thing, It's not their fault, it's the government's fault, and those of us in the military.

If it weren't for our defeat as soldiers, they could have stayed in that small village, that small market town. Although we don't say how abundant the supplies are, at least they can have food to feed their stomachs and the family can be reunited.

They fled their hometowns to avoid the flames of war, and they had no idea what their future would be like. In such a state, the young and strong at home were forced to join the army to earn a share of military pay for their families to eat.

But now, they have also died in battle. Could it be that we just spent 200 or 300 oceans and sent them away?Regardless of the future price inflation due to the war, with this little money, a family of old, weak, women and children can eat for a few years, and finally starve to death and reunite with their relatives, right? "

Tang Dao, who was carrying his back, asked a series of questions, which left the highest-ranking school officials of the Four Elements Regiment speechless.

As Tang Dao pointed out sharply, they were indeed considered from the position of the entire Four Elements Regiment, and did not really take the role of these soldiers who had died in battle.

But this is because they are cold-blooded!Not necessarily, in their positions, they must bear the responsibilities that belong to them.

Even Leng Feng, who has just been promoted to major, now has to learn to think about the hundreds of brothers under him, instead of just standing on his personal feelings.

"So, in order to hang our lives on our belts and kill the devils with us, we officers can't let them down. We have no money. Let's find a way to earn and find a way to rob the Japanese of the dog day. How can we say this hard work money? No matter what, they have to make up enough." Tang Dao suddenly turned around. "If one day the regiment really can't afford the money, then use my Tang family's money to fill it in. If you can't fill it in, let the brothers scold me for being the regiment leader!"

"Sir!"

"Group seat!"

Several school officials stood up in shock, with a bit of shame on their faces.

Even though they have all kinds of reasons, in terms of taking responsibility, they are indeed a lot worse than Tang Dao.

Gong Shaoxun was even more emotional at the moment. It turned out that he felt that the veteran soldiers like Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi were submissive to the young man Tang Dao because Tang Dao was strong enough, but now it seems that it is not just the reason.

This soldier, who is only about [-] years old, not only has a steely will, but also has a shoulder that everyone can trust. He can shoulder a responsibility heavier than a mountain. Being able to become an army under his command definitely has an incomparable sense of security.

"In this way, what Battalion Commander Guo said just now is not unreasonable. The one-time pension will be paid according to this amount. The staff of the regiment will prepare the list of personnel and the corresponding amount tonight. Anyone who has relatives here will be admitted tomorrow." After the spirit ceremony is completed, it will be distributed on the spot. If there are no relatives, then put it away first.

In addition, in terms of annual pensions, isn't it 80 for a sergeant and 40 for a private at the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs?No matter how difficult the regiment is, this money cannot be saved.If the relatives are in Dakouzidong, they will use grain instead of money, and distribute 100 catties of fine grain to their relatives every month.

For those whose relatives are not here, those who died in battle since the establishment of our independent battalion, regardless of officers and soldiers, will be paid 10 oceans per month.

This amount may be a bit huge, and the calculation by the staff department will take time, but it doesn't matter. I will go to the theater command for this money in the near future, and I will find a way to exchange this batch of gold into ocean or French currency as much as possible.

When Boss Qian and the others come here, ask them if there is a way to post the money back to the families of the sacrificed officers and soldiers. If possible, they can put both the one-time pension and the three-year annual pension in place. "Tang Dao decided decisively.

The school officials all gasped.

This means that a dead officer and soldier needs at least 560 oceans, and on average, 600 oceans is required, and the Four Elements Regiment has fought many battles since the earliest days of the 43rd Army Independent Battalion.

In particular, the Battle of Mouse Mountain in Guangde was extremely tragic, and the two Sichuan infantry companies were wiped out.

In general, there must be [-] officers and soldiers who died if not [-].

This round of pensions alone is worth hundreds of thousands of oceans!
And, it's not over yet!All sacrifices in the future will have to be compensated accordingly, which is a huge bottomless pit.

The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs issued these pension regulations, because they are the highest command organization, and there is a country's taxation behind them. With the foundation of the Four Elements Group today, can they support it?
But they still underestimated Tang Dao too much.

"Not only the sacrificed officers and soldiers should be compensated, but also the seriously injured and disabled soldiers should be given adequate allowances. Regardless of the officers and soldiers, as long as they are disabled, they will be subsidized 100 oceans.

It would be best if he could return from injury.If they are not suitable for fighting on the front line due to physical disabilities but do not affect the walkers, they will be assigned to the supply company as non-commissioned officers, and those who have a squad leader vacancy will be the squad leader, and those who have no squad leader vacancy will be the deputy squad leader. "Tang Dao continued to show off.

In fact, this kind of idea of ​​adding compensation to the sacrificed officers and soldiers and making sufficient arrangements for the future of the wounded soldiers was not caused by Tang Dao's whim, but the germination that arose when he retreated from the Battle of Songhu.

The reason was that he was deeply stimulated by the shocking corpses in blue, black, and yellow-green military uniforms that could be seen everywhere along the road.

He knew that these corpses could have been alive.

They are all wounded soldiers.

Because of the big retreat, they were all abandoned by their own troops. Otherwise, the Japanese army, which had already succeeded in strategy, would make dumplings for hundreds of thousands of troops.

And this is the result of the 67th Army, the 43rd Army, and Tang Dao who defended Songjiang for four days and nights.

Otherwise, there will only be more of these abandoned wounded soldiers.

Because, in the previous time and space, the total casualties recorded in the Songhu Battle amounted to 30, but in fact most of the casualties came from the abandoned wounded soldiers.

They fight for the country, but the final result is that they can only wait for death in despair, how cruel is this?

The reason why those retreating elite troops seemed to have retained their main forces, but they had no combat power in the Jinling defense battle, may have something to do with their abandonment of wounded soldiers.

No one wants to end up being abandoned, just like the comrades they once abandoned.

"Brother, don't leave me!" Those desperate calls broke my heart.

And in the midst of such a large army, what is the use of the insignificant power of one or a few people?

From that moment on, the morale of the so-called elite troops has been shattered!
Tang Dao had already made an oath that he would not abandon any of his brothers, even if he was just a recruit who would pee his pants when he heard the sound of gunfire.

Now that the Four Elements Group has begun to take shape, he will not do it anymore.

No matter how much it costs, he not only wants the wounded soldiers to survive, but also wants them to live with enough dignity.

The humble begging appearance of veterans who lost their arms in Xuzhou City is simply the greatest insult to soldiers!

Living without dignity is more cruel than dying!
Perhaps at this time there were too many lice and they were not afraid of being bitten. The several school officials who had been shocked and numb by Tang Dao's continuous generous gestures looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the end, it was Zhuang Shisan who asked cautiously: "This time the seriously injured soldiers are okay, because the Japanese army lacked enough artillery, most of them were due to gunshot wounds, and only a few were disabled due to injuries, but the disabled soldiers who came here with the regiment before But there are quite a few, and the establishment of the baggage company can't be accommodated!"

"That's very simple, if the organization is not enough, then increase the organization of the baggage company. If there are no soldiers under your command, the squad leader and deputy squad leader will be in charge first. After the recruits are trained, they will be added to the baggage company.

If they can't even guarantee normal walking, then arrange them to serve as militia platoon leaders in various villages, and distribute food or ocean according to half of his original military rank every month, which can be chosen by himself! "Tang Dao had already made up his mind, looked at his little friends, and smiled faintly.

"Don't you still think that after this battle, we will still maintain the current number of troops for the Japanese to gather troops to fight!"

"Expansion of troops! That's good, regiment, don't you want to go to the theater headquarters! Why don't you just apply to the commander to turn the regiment into a brigade, and you can also fight with the devils freely." Lei Xiong, a combat madman, probably didn't think too much about it, so he just opened his mouth and came out.

However, Gong Shaoxun and Guo Shouzhi, who were beside him, were mature and focused, but their expressions were extremely serious.

A regiment, the military and political department is watching closely, putting pressure on the military department of the 43rd army. If this really becomes a brigade, it would be strange if they had to parachute a few deputy brigade commanders and regimental leaders.

It's not that I feel uncomfortable!
"Brother Lei! Do you believe that no matter how many gifts we give to that theater commander, he still won't do anything?" Tang Dao gave his old partner an angry look.

"Ahem! That's true, that old stingy old man is famous, it's better for us to avoid dealing with him, and do our own thing." Lei Xiong also came to his senses at this moment.

"Don't worry, since you said you want to expand, all battalions and companies will expand, but first you have to expand the supply company, otherwise the recruits from all of you will not be able to fill those who have shot a few bullets on the shooting range and have no experience in the battlefield." Let's stuff all the recruits who have passed!
This supply company, no, it should be called the supply battalion, which is the alternate soldiers of each battalion company in the future, and the battalion will maintain around 2000 people!Even in the future, it is not ruled out that the infantry battalion will also establish a supply company. "Tang Dao continued.

Just one supply battalion has a staff of up to 2000 people. Several school officials glanced at each other, and they probably understood Tang Dao's ambitions.

The Four Elements Regiment is still a regiment, but it is no longer an infantry regiment in the ordinary sense.

But this also ignited a small flame in their hearts.

The bigger the force, the safer it is, and the more you can fight the devils!

This future is even better than imagined!

The issue of preparation is very complicated, and it cannot be explained in a few words. Tang Dao only briefly described the prospect, and asked Zhuang Shisan to give a few school officials some information about the currently available funds in the regiment.

More than 2 taels of gold, if all of them can be successfully exchanged at the current market price, it will be a huge sum of more than 400 million oceans.

Several school officials who hadn't figured out the situation collectively stared wide-eyed, no wonder Tang Tuanzuo dared to spend such a large amount of money, he had the confidence.

No matter how much he wastes money, this amount of money is enough for the group of four to spend a year.

That's when Tang Dao didn't say that he had the warrant from Comrade Song in his hand, and that there were still tens of millions of silver in Jincheng that could be withdrawn.

But after all, it is in the enemy-occupied area, so how to get it out is still a difficult task.

In addition, Tang Dao was afraid of irritating the group of friends who had never seen money before, even Leng Lianfeng began to giggle unconsciously!

As soon as the regimental meeting was over, most of the resolutions were circulated throughout the four-element regiment.

From senior officers to ordinary soldiers, all were excited because of the meeting hosted by Tang Tuanzuo at the regiment headquarters.

Tang Tuanzuo has never painted cakes, but using money as firewood and using the future as a pot to bake cakes, no one can handle it!
