Rise from eight hundred.

But it is probably too early to describe Tang Dao as a wolf.

When the Shanxi old man invited Tang Dao to dinner and agreed, Tang Dao handed the suitcase in his hand to the middle-aged woman who was about to leave: "This time, there is a shortage of supplies in the Taihang Mountains, so I can only bring some local specialties. Don't be disgusted!"

The Shanxi old man's eyes flashed, and he motioned for the middle-aged woman to accept it, but he chuckled and said, "I don't know if my guess is right, old man. If I don't keep you, Captain Tang, for this dinner, I'm afraid you will have to bring this special product again." Let’s go back to the Taihang Mountains!”

"Don't dare, dare not, Chief Yan is so sympathetic to his subordinates, there is no chance for his subordinates to return to their residences hungry." Tang Dao made a gesture of sincerity and fear.

There is no mention of the word gift, but every word is: Mr. Yan, what you said is not wrong.

Of course, there are one hundred taels of gold in the suitcase, and it is a huge sum of more than 2 yuan to exchange it into the ocean. If the veterans in Jin Province don’t talk to Tang Dao at all, Tang Dao will give this huge sum of money to Tang Dao if he is crazy. give him.

So what about the commander-in-chief of the second war zone, if he doesn't pay the army and doesn't give the military supplies, he wants to issue military orders to make Tang Dao obedient just because of his reputation, that's really overthinking.

"Haha! That's what you said. But, you doll! In the past, it was absolutely impossible to sit in such a position." Tang Dao replied almost frankly, but it didn't make this big man disgusted, on the contrary, he said A word of truth.

A person like Tang Dao is still a bit upright in the face of right and wrong. In peacetime, it is impossible for a strong soldier to become a strong general, because the intertwined personnel relations will not give him this opportunity, and only in this troubled world can he become a strong general. Among them, Cai can emerge suddenly by virtue of his outstanding ability and personal charm.

The status in the army in the past life and this life has already explained the truth.

But for Tang Dao himself, is the so-called status really that important?
I am afraid that only a few people who know Tang Tuanzuo very well know that Tang Tuanzuo's strategy is basically deployed before the battle, and tactical issues will only be slightly changed according to the battlefield changes before the battle.

The last thing Tang Tuanzuo wanted to do was to stay at the command headquarters and listen to the casualty reports from the battalions. What Tang Tuanzuo loved most was to go to the front line and stand in the same trench as his soldiers.

From his previous life to this life, Tang Dao has always been a warrior. Even if he is commanding thousands of troops, he also hopes to be the one who stands at the forefront, instead of staying behind the army and watching his brothers with cold eyes. A series of ruthless military orders became corpses.

Death, to Tang Dao, was not scary. What he was afraid of was facing the parents, wives and children of the brothers who died in battle.

Only by facing the enemy's hail of bullets side by side with them, and splashing my own blood and the blood of my brothers on that battlefield together, may I be able to slightly alleviate the guilt in my heart.

. . . . . . . .

Dinner may have been prepared long ago and served quickly.

The famous Jin Province Lao Ji did not waste at all. A plate of fried pork, a plate of peanuts, a plate of green vegetables, another small pot of millet porridge and a plate of scallion pancakes. .
Only ate half full.

It’s not about whether it’s rich or not, the key is that the portions are not enough, especially for a front-line soldier like Tang Dao, even the pot of millet porridge needs to be divided between two people, and Tang Dao can dry up twice the portion Believe it or not?

'It's very good, if Peng Chong and Xiaobald don't eat enough money to come back, I'm really at a loss for the hundred taels of gold! Tang Dao, who ate half full and barely filled his belly, could only complain secretly in his heart.

Tang Dao knew that the portion of this meal was so small, it had to be the one hundred taels of gold pot.

Originally, the knife-sliced ​​noodles the three of them ate in the century-old noodle shop in Linfen had already given Jin Sheng Lao Lao the concept of food shortage in his four-element regiment. He was left to eat, and the steamed buns and cakes were also prepared in advance.

As a result, the middle-aged woman felt that the gift from Tang Tuanzuo didn't feel right. The so-called "Taihang Mountain native product" is really too heavy. If it's a piece of bacon, it doesn't need to be put in the suitcase, right?

Going out of the outside room to look, even though this man is well-informed, he was almost dazzled by the ten large yellow croakers.

In normal times, not to mention ten large yellow croakers, even a hundred large yellow croakers are given by wealthy businessmen, but now it is wartime, and Tang Dao is not a businessman. full.

But this, at least from the side, shows that they all underestimated Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group.

As a result, the food is more 'exquisite'.

The name of Jin Province's old pick is really well-deserved.

Because this woman still adheres to the habit of 'not talking when eating, not talking when sleeping', no one talks when the two of them eat, and only when the middle-aged woman collects the dishes and chopsticks herself, the two of them go to the courtyard again. chat up.

The role of the hundred taels of gold is obviously not small. The expression on the face of the old Shanxi man who had been serious most of the time has softened a lot.

"Leader Tang, tell me straight! This time you found me, the old man, what do you need?
However, I have to tell you the truth. Now that the Japanese invaders are overwhelming the border, I have more than 30 troops stationed in southwestern and southeastern Shanxi, as well as civilians who have fled from the north. All food and clothing costs me, the commander of the war zone. Find a solution.

Moreover, I might as well tell you something about the military order above. Our army in Jin Province basically has no chance to retreat. The superior ordered my second theater to defend the southwest and southeast mountainous areas of Jin Province to prevent Japanese invaders from attacking Shan Province.

Outside, there are at least ten lieutenant generals, major generals and brigade commanders lined up to see me. I know what they want, but I am not a god, and I have no military salary or food. I can turn a mountain of stones into Become those things? "The Shanxi old man didn't play any word games with Tang Dao this time, and went straight to the point.

It's just that, before Tang Dao was allowed to say the topic, he blocked Tang Dao's way of obtaining military supplies.

What the old man from Shanxi said was true. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and refugees kept pouring in. Rao, who is very good at people's livelihood, can't stand it now.

As for asking him to subsidize with the private money he has obtained from Shanxi Shuo for more than [-] years, that is really out of this world.

To be promoted to an official and get a medal or something, for the sake of a hundred taels of gold, this general commander can do it, as long as he doesn't need money or food.

"I came to see you, Commander Yan, to ask for something. In the battle of Shentouling a month ago, our troops defeated the Japanese invaders and seized some gold, which we wanted to exchange into cash for the distribution of military pay and the purchase of ordnance and ammunition. Use." Tang Dao saw that this person spoke so straightforwardly, so naturally he didn't beat around the bush.

"Oh! I said that Captain Tang made such a generous move. It turned out that he had seized the supplies of the Japanese invaders. If you just want to exchange them, it's easy to say. I will ask Wumei to say hello to the Jin Provincial Bank. You can bring gold to exchange , just press." The Shanxi old man suddenly realized.

But when it came to the price, I was a little hesitant.

Gold is now a hard currency, and the exchange is linked to the U.S. knife. It changes almost every day. A little fluctuation may make the hundred taels of gold that the Shanxi old man received today disappear. With the shrewdness of the Shanxi old man, don’t think twice Strange.

"Based on the market price, if it is because the Jin Provincial Government has an extra commission during the war, our regiment will follow the rules." Tang Dao said hurriedly.

The amount of this batch of gold is really too large. The 2 taels of gold he brought this time can be swallowed by a large commercial bank like Jin Provincial Bank, and he can find a private person to exchange it. It is not known when he will exchange it.

It's okay to be chopped up by this guy, Tang Dao is confident, and when the Four Elements Group grows up, sooner or later, he will spit out as much as he eats.

Strength is the first rule of survival in this troubled world!

"Head Tang, you are very good. You understand the difficulty of the commander and the war zone. Unlike those guys, who only know how to reach out and fight devils, but are also greedy for life and fear of death." The old Shanxi man appreciated Tang Dao's knowledge more and more, and nodded in relief.

"Then as you said, the bank exchanged at the market price, and the provincial government originally took [-]% of it as a wartime financial tax. For the sake of your four-line regiment's heroic combat, I let them break the bone, no, It's [-]% off!"

"Good guy, what a good guy, the name of this financial tax has come out. Just exchange it, and tens of thousands of oceans will go into this purse again." Tang Dao secretly complained.

Didn't he know that the so-called Jin Provincial Bank is actually controlled by this family, and those wartime taxes are also under this control?It is also a long experience.

There is still a hundred taels of gold to open the way. If it weren't for those yellow and white things, the so-called wartime tax would be even more outrageous.

There is a desire in his heart to give this greedy old politician a big blow, but on the surface he still has to nod respectfully: "Xie Yan, sir!"

Of course, Tang Dao is not a good bird. He didn't say how much gold the Japanese invaders seized this time. Anyone who knows that Mr. Tang brought 2 taels of gold with him when he came to Fen this time, once his "fracture" was broken, he lost more than 2 taels of gold, so he felt like a knife cut his heart!

Accept the gift of one hundred taels of gold!It seems to be confiscated again.

"This son Tang Dao is treacherous and slippery. Calling him a wolf is really underestimating, he is a jackal!" A day later, after receiving the notice from the bank, the old Shanxi man was stunned for a while and gritted his teeth. A new definition of Tang Dao.

The middle-aged woman sitting beside her couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. The only thing that could make smoke rise from the top of her head, this city-savvy cousin, was only a Tang Dao recently.

The point is, even if he knew that Tang Dao, a rich man, was sitting on millions of oceans, he couldn't rush forward to get another share of this wealth.

Not only did the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment risk their lives for that huge fortune, but Tang Dao, a man who was like a jackal, threw out a temptation that the old man from Shanxi couldn't refuse on that 'private meeting' night.

After the request for gold exchange came to an end, the Shanxi old man originally planned to see off the guest after a few chats.

After all, no matter how capable Tang Dao is, he is only a small regiment leader, with only a few thousand troops under his command. For an old Shanxi man who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, he is really not ranked well. If he can be given an hour, then It's mainly for the sake of embarrassing that person.

Don't think that Jin Province is currently a place where water can't be splashed. As the war in Jin Province gradually deteriorates, although the old man in Shanxi can still talk about it in Jin Province, it is much worse than before. Tang Dao met the old man in Shanxi It won't take long for this matter to reach that person's ears.

As long as that person is unhappy, the old Shanxi man will be happy.

To put it bluntly, even if Tang Dao gave a big gift, in the eyes of these big shots, the little regiment leader is currently more of a tool man.

But Tang Dao didn't seem to know his status, so he dropped a blockbuster first: "Mr. Yan, Tang Dao still has some suggestions for the current war in Eastern Jin. I wonder if Mr. Yan can give Tang Dao some more time."

"Oh?" The Shanxi old man first frowned slightly, which means that your child is too ignorant, and even after the gift was delivered, he took care of things for you and didn't leave. It's war.

Then, he frowned again, and didn't ask Tang Dao to sit down, but he sat on the rattan chair under the tree, picked up the hot tea he had just brewed, and took a sip: "Then tell me, let me listen, if It makes sense, I won't punish your child for wasting my time today, if you still talk to those old people, your child will be punished."

The meaning of the Shanxi old man is also very obvious, I will save face for you, you can say what time you want, as a commander, I am worthy of having a long talk with you, a small regiment leader!

It's a pity that Tang Dao doesn't look like the little fox from before at all at the moment, but looks a bit foolish instead.

"Mr. Yan, when do you think the Japanese invaders will attack our major defense lines in Jin Province?" Tang Dao actually asked first.

"It's hard to say. The senior officers of the theater's staff department basically judged that the Xuzhou war is over, and the Japanese North China Front Army has drawn enough troops!" The Shanxi old man frowned, and his head felt a little painful.

Tang Dao's direct approach was a question of his pain point. The Japanese North China Front Army has more than 30 troops. If it goes all out to Jin Province, no, even if only 20 of them go to Jin Province, it will be based on what he currently has. Some troops, can you stop it?
He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't withdraw, that guy was going to kill him!

"The chiefs of the theater command have rich combat experience, and their judgments will not be wrong, but I don't know if they have said where the Japanese invaders will focus their attacks?" Tang Dao continued to ask.

"If they can judge the focus of the Japanese invaders' attack, then we won't lose most of the rivers and mountains in Jin Province and be trapped in a corner like we are now! They are all a bunch of idiots!" Hearing Tang Dao talk about this, the old man in Shanxi had a look on his face. indignant.

He is the commander of the war zone, but military facts are not his specialty. He has mastered people for decades, so he naturally entrusts these things to people he trusts. Who knows that those idiots will lose every battle, and they will lose first. The original city, and then one city after another, surrendered to each other, until now it was impossible to retreat.

If he hadn't had the foresight before the war to transfer some of the equipment and raw materials of the family's core industry and the most important arsenal under his command, he would really be a bare-bones commander now.

Without money or goods, who would follow him?

After the anger was over, the Shanxi old man came back and looked up at the young colonel standing in front of him, "Those idiots can't figure it out, maybe your baby will know it?"

"The Japanese invaders will attack Linfen, and they must use us in the southeast of Shanxi Province as a breakthrough point!" Tang Dao said with a firm gaze.

"It's interesting, what's the reason!" The Shanxi old man couldn't help standing up and walking towards the reception room. "The room said."

To talk about war, of course you need a map.

On the wall of the reception room, there is a map of the southeastern and southwestern Shanxi today. Many combat orders in the second theater are issued from this small room, not the theater headquarters full of lieutenant generals and major generals.

"The officers' judgment on the general situation is not a problem. The Xuzhou War involved at least [-] elite soldiers from the Japanese North China Front Army. They currently don't have the strength to defeat my Second Theater in one blow." Tang Dao stood in front of the map, Point to the Taihang Mountain area in southeast Shanxi.

"But when they free up from Xuzhou, they will have at least six divisions and three mixed brigades marching southward. Their primary goal is to attack the Yellow River, occupy our Guanzhong Plain, and form a deterrent to the inland southwest. The Second War Zone bears the brunt.

But if they want to attack Linfen, there are nearly 20 troops deployed in the southwestern mountainous area. Even if the attack is successful all the way, the Japanese invaders will suffer huge losses. If you think about the Yellow River, the defenders in Shaanxi Province are not muddy.

Therefore, they will inevitably attack from two directions, and my Taihang Mountain is the only way they must pass.

And the reason why I judged that the Japanese invaders must first attack us in the Taihang Mountains is because they were humiliated by the previous two wars, and they will inevitably re-evaluate the combat strength of our troops in the Taihang Mountains.

Therefore, I dare to assert that if the Japanese invaders want to attack Linfen in two directions, they must first attack our Taihang Mountain area with heavy troops.

And if our theater shifts the focus of defense to the southeast of Shanxi and deals a major blow to the Japanese invaders, they will be like a wounded poisonous snake, retreating to heal their wounds first, and the danger of Linfen will be postponed for at least half a year. "

The Shanxi old man couldn't see any expression on his face. He stared at the map with a gloomy gaze behind his glasses!
But no one knew how much turmoil was really stirred up by Tang Dao's words in the heart of the deep and deep man in the city.

It's not that Tang Dao's analysis is so precise and detailed, but the last sentence, which can solve Linfen's crisis for half a year, really makes him unable to refuse.
