mixed in the war

"You really dare to open your teeth." Yang Jie looked at Qin Wei with admiration, "Zhang Lingfu's army is the main force among the main force, and Zhang Lingfu himself has the same eyeballs as the chairman, so you dare to attack him... …It’s fine if you’re not afraid that the chairman will settle accounts with you, but I don’t understand why you think you can poach Zhang Lingfu away? He’s a general! He’s totally different from your production and construction corps. "

"As the saying goes: as long as the hoe is well swung, there is no corner that cannot be dug." Qin Wei smiled, "Who said that the Production and Construction Corps can't fight? Many of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield. It's just training and weapons. Zhang Lingfu is a good player, it's a pity to be only a brigade commander. It's that Du Yuming who runs fast, otherwise I'll dig him too!"

"I've convinced you." Yang Jie couldn't help shaking his head.He had been waiting for Qin Wei in his office just now.But after waiting to see no one, I heard the noise downstairs, and the sound was getting louder and louder.He was very angry at the time, and felt that such a noisy scene was a blasphemy against such a serious department as the Military Command, so he personally went to suppress the scene.But when they got downstairs, they found out that it was Qin Wei who was "soliciting" Zhang Lingfu, which was new.There were also quite a few people who came in and out of the military headquarters, and most of them knew who Zhang Lingfu was, admired Qin Wei's courage, and wanted to see if Qin Wei could succeed... As a result, more and more people gathered.Some people thought it wasn't lively enough, so they added fuel to the fire, and the noise became louder and louder, making the entire gate of the military headquarters into a mess.

"But don't do this next time. If you continue to make trouble, the superiors will have to use military law against you... After all, this is a military department, and discipline is the most important!" Yang Jie said again.

"Respecting discipline does not mean not being lively." Qin Wei replied: "Soldiers, you have to be serious when you are serious, and lively when you are lively. Otherwise, who can bear a string that is tense all day long? What if it breaks?" what to do?"

"You are sophistry!" Yang Jie snorted lightly. "No matter how lively you need to be, you can't mess around in front of a department like the Military Command."

"Yes, yes, you are the officer, you have the final say." Qin Wei smiled, "I'm called this time, because the matter of the Corps has come to an end?"

"There is a result." Seeing that he was talking about business, Yang Jie didn't bother anymore, "After discussions with the Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Military Command Department, I decided to follow your suggestion. Form a production and construction corps .Integrate the idle labor force, the stragglers from all over the place, and the disabled soldiers to form a new production and construction corps. While achieving self-sufficiency, try to take into account military training so that they can be drawn to the battlefield at any time. Supplementary troops for the front line .”

"According to what you mean, this corps has to be responsible for its own profits and losses?" Qin Wei asked.

"You're talking nonsense." Yang Jie said bluntly: "The formation of the Corps. Isn't it to reduce financial pressure and support the front line as much as possible at the same time? Otherwise, why should we form this Corps?"

"You don't understand the true meaning of this corps." Qin Wei said: "This is to more effectively integrate the idle personnel in the Kuomintang-controlled area, especially those stragglers. Use these forces where we need them most... such as roads in various places Construction and stuff. If it’s pure self-sufficiency, how much money is the government allocating for them now?"

"I know what you think. But you also know that the government is short of money now..."

"It's okay for you to tell others, but it won't work if you tell me." Qin Wei shook his head directly.Others do not know.Can he still know whether Lao Jiang has money?Although the money may not be much, it is still possible to allocate a little.

"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I don't care about finances, and I can't talk to you about it. If you really want money, go to He Yingqin. If it doesn't work, go to the chairman of the committee and Song Ziwen." Yang Jie actually didn't want to be in this regard. Too entangled, "I called you this time, mainly to inform you of the decision of the Military Commission. The other is to ask which corps you want."

"Which one?" Qin Wei was startled, "Isn't there only one?"

"You have a good idea." Yang Jie gave him a blank look, "Do you know how many stragglers and idle laborers you say there are in Chongqing alone? Even if there are no specific statistics, I can tell you that it is no less than tens of thousands. This is only one place in Chongqing. If you count Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places in detail, there are at least a few hundred thousand people. Such a number belongs to one corps... You want to drive out the Japanese before What about fighting a civil war in the Kuomintang-controlled area?"

"I didn't say that, don't blame me." Qin Wei hurriedly waved his hand, "I thought you would set up a corps committee, a reserve committee, and the like. How could you imagine that you would be divided into divisions directly? But this is not the case. Okay. That... how many did you share?"

"Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Shaanxi, there are six Construction Corps in total. The Chairman said, you can choose one of them." Yang Jie said.

"I'm the chief officer?" Qin Wei asked carefully again.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Minister of Logistics, if you are not satisfied, you can put forward any conditions. But you must also understand the meaning of the above, it is definitely impossible for you to directly take charge of the entire corps." Yang Jie said: "Of course, if only Some of them can be considered as appropriate. As for the rest, the corps are organized in accordance with the formal military establishment, so you don't have to worry about having a nameless at all."

"I'm talking about Deputy Chief Yang," Qin Wei looked at Yang Jie and kept laughing, "I dare say that when those people asked you to tell me these words, they definitely didn't let you reveal them all at once. They made you Talk to me slowly, little by little, like squeezing toothpaste, and finally you have to act like you are forced to do so, right?"

"In fact, everyone knows these things well, why do they have to be so boring." Yang Jie didn't care, "I only care about whether you agree or not."

"It's all divided into six, so there must be a corresponding candidate?" Qin Wei asked.

"Naturally." Yang Jie nodded.Things like the Production and Construction Corps don't sound like they have much strength, but they are not bad if they are so-so, and the most important thing is that they can also generate benefits.When Qin Wei first brought it up, many people thought it was possible that this kid wanted to expand his strength, and Lao Jiang even shook his head directly.But after a few days, I don't know who passed the message to the top.It is a good idea to say that the Production and Construction Corps.If it is not done well, at most it will be restored to the original state; if it is done well, it can save a lot of financial expenses.In addition, it is also possible to place and place those characters who are not very obedient, but it is not easy to directly suppress them.For example: Those powerful figures from the local faction who once fought against Lao Jiang... So Lao Jiang became interested.And Lao Jiang's interest naturally means that people like them need to use their brains more.Together, everyone found that the most troublesome thing about this production and construction corps is that it may be used by others to develop its own power. After all, such a militarized, financially self-sufficient thing can easily breed a tendency to become independent, especially In the soil of the Republic of China.Even more so.But now that you know where there may be problems, just solve them.The corps is too large and the sphere of influence is too wide, then weaken it... In this way, a large corps is divided into six.Moreover, there is no headquarters, and the six corps do not belong to the Ministry of Defense.Instead, it all belongs to what was originally only the formulation of combat plans and the control of domestic and foreign intelligence.But there is no military command with actual military power.

"Can you tell me about the candidates for each department?" Qin Wei asked.

"This matter is still a secret to others, but to you, there is no need to keep it a secret." Yang Jie smiled: "Let's talk about Chongqing first, I will be the chief officer here..."

"you?"

"You don't think so?" Yang Jie asked.

"No, no," Qin Wei shook his head, "I'm afraid you won't be able to separate yourself. You are the deputy chief of the military command department. There are many high-ranking and important affairs!"

"If it was someone else, I would think he was mocking me. As for you..." Yang Jie paused, "I think you seem to be scolding me."

"I definitely don't have such an idea." Qin Wei shook his head quickly, "Although I also know that you are not a real power faction. But after all, you are a famous military man with peaches and plums all over the world. How many generals are your students... as a The production and construction corps, and it is only the commander of the production and construction corps in Chongqing, don't you feel inferior?"

"Then you, the deputy commander, are unyielding?" Yang Jie asked back.

"Definitely unyielding." Qin Wei replied with self-knowledge: "I'm afraid I won't be able to bear this responsibility."

"Since you feel unyielding, what else do I have to say? Who doesn't know that you, General Qin, have made great contributions to the party and the country?" Yang Jie smiled bitterly.

"In terms of contribution, you got us the equipment of [-] divisions, two volunteer air teams to aid China, and other support from Stalin. The total amount is no less than [-] million US dollars. This is comparable to fighting on the battlefield It’s hard to win a big battle.” It’s a pity that you didn’t hand over the money to Lao Jiang, but handed it over to the country, where Lao Jiang naturally has less weight than me.Qin Wei secretly sighed again in his heart.

"So what?" Yang Jie also sighed softly, "Although I'm just a small commander of the Production and Construction Corps, it's better than staying in the military headquarters all day doing nothing?"

"Doing nothing?" Qin Wei scratched his head, making the deputy chief of the military command department, who is somewhat comparable to the general staff of the later generations, feel that there is nothing to do. This guy really seems to be "valued" by Lao Jiang.But thinking about the rumors I heard before, the suggestion that this guy made to Chiang Kai-shek to "unite with the Soviet Union to fight against the Soviet Union" was indeed a little unclear about the situation.In Lao Jiang's eyes, the Soviet Union was a far more terrifying polar bear than Japan!In order to deal with wolves, they found a bear... Although Lao Jiang's military level was only comparable to that of an ordinary battalion commander during the Northern Expedition, he had to admit that this guy had a vicious eye for seeing people and things.Stalin is easy to please?It's really easy to ask God, but it's hard to send God away.It's no wonder that Lao Jiang listened to his suggestion and read the specific tactics he proposed. He didn't say anything, but just gave him a copy of "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzheng Gong" and asked him to read it carefully.Although he was so angry that he played mahjong for three months, he was considered magnanimous.But having said that, this Yang Jie is not simple. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he put forward the theory of protracted war. It can be said that he is on the same level as Mao Zedong, Jiang Baili and others in terms of strategy, but his emotional intelligence is a little bit worse, and his temper is not good. Too straightforward, that's why Lao Jiang has never valued him.In fact, in the Kuomintang's military system, this guy is a military strategist alongside Jiang Baili and Bai Chongxi.

"Otherwise..." Qin Wei felt it was a pity.There are "three and a half military strategists" in China. As for which three and a half, there are different opinions.But there is a saying that these "three and a half military strategists" actually refer to Jiang Baili, Bai Chongxi, Yang Jie, and Liu Bocheng.And Liu Bocheng is a "one-eyed dragon" because he only has one eye, so he is "half"!Although I don't know whether this statement is true or not, Yang Jie's level is also obvious to be included in this rank.At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, this guy almost replaced He Yingqin as the chief of staff of the Kuomintang military headquarters.It is simply a huge waste of talents... So, after thinking about it, Qin Wei felt that he could be this "savior":

"Deputy Chief Yang, if you don't think I'm talking too much, how about just listening to my advice?"

"What advice?"

"Resign, follow me!" (To be continued...)
