Glorious Mission 1937

Chen Feng's redemption plan is indeed surprising, especially for people like Li, Bai, etc., as long as they are willing to hand over the army in their hands to the state for reorganization, not only can they get a one-time cash compensation of [-] million U.S. dollars, but they can also buy money from the Chen family. A certain dry stock is held in a large company invested with billions of dollars.

The earning power of the Chen family is obvious to all. Not to mention that Mr. Chen has become the largest grain merchant in the four northern provinces in just a few decades with a white man, and his family property is tens of millions of oceans. After Chen Feng started the drug business, the Chen family It is not too exaggerated to make a lot of money every day. The one-time investment of more than [-] billion US dollars to buy Nanyang collar is enough to prove the financial strength of the Chen family.

The temptation of the redemption plan is obvious. Take the Guangxi warlords as an example. They control the military and political power in Guangxi. The tax revenue of Guangxi province is controlled by the Guangxi warlords themselves. The resources such as mines and lakes in the province are also mined by themselves. The profits earned are not small, but feeding an army is not a joke. The daily consumption is a bottomless pit, especially during wars, when the military expenditures increase sharply by several times and tens of times, so Li Zongren Although He Bai Chongxi and others are quite wealthy, they are only in the hundreds of millions of oceans.

What is the concept of 1 million US dollars?This is an astronomical figure in this era. According to the current exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and French currency, 1 US dollar is equal to 28 French currency, and there is still no market for it. 28 million US dollars is equal to [-] billion French currency, even if Li Zongren and others do not eat or drink. It took decades of hard work to earn such a huge sum of money.

The most important thing is that they have not completely lost power in their hands, although the troops will be handed over to the state for reorganization.But these people still have to be entrusted with important tasks, but they are not as arbitrary as before.

However, just like what Chen Feng said, if they didn't have the intention to become kings and become emperors, letting go of part of the military power would be of great benefit to them, and there was such a huge amount of self-compensation, even Li Zongren and Long Yun were a little moved.

Just as everyone was thinking, Chen Feng added fuel to the fire: "Everyone, looking at the political stage of modern China, there are not many great warlords who have been prominent in China for a century, and some of them even ascended to the highest peak of power. But what is the ending? How many will die well? How many will last forever, and how many will be able to hand over the power in their hands to future generations?"

Chen Feng's words went straight to his heart. Few of the warlords can die well.Which of Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu and others has a long history.Except that Zhang Zuolin left the foundation he laid to his son.Which one of the others is not a passer-by in the power field.

It is difficult to complete the alternation of power from father to son, but property is different, and such things as property can be left to future generations.No one can take it away.

After pondering for a long time, Li Zongren asked: "Seriously, your redemption plan can solve the problem of nationalizing the army, but you have to think clearly, the funds needed to complete the nationalization of all the armies in the country are not a small amount. It's billions of dollars, maybe tens of billions of dollars, can you come up with so much money at once?"

Chen Feng said with a smile: "The Chen family's most important thing is money, and the redemption plan is only applicable to the Guangxi army, the Yunnan army, the Sichuan army, the Ma family army, the Northeast army, and the small Northwest army. As for other small warlords, although they will also give part of the compensation funds, But the amount is not so large.”

"That's good, but this is a big matter. I need to discuss it with the senior officers of the Gui Army, and I will give you the answer later, okay?"

"Row!"

"Solemn, even if you are willing to be this good-for-nothing boy, the Yan'an side may not accept your plan. You must know that they are a group of idealists?" It was Chen Cheng who spoke this time.

Chen Feng replied: "I met Mr. Mao and others in Yan'an. They are a group of real national fighters. The princes in Yan'an gave me the impression that they are a group of people who can accept any opinions that are beneficial to the country and the nation. As long as we The decision made is beneficial to the country and the nation, and I think they will agree. In addition, the princes of Yan’an are very politically wise. I believe they will understand the predicament we are facing now. I will go to Yan’an personally at that time .”

........

The meeting lasted until late at night. After the meeting was over, Chen Feng rested overnight in the guest room of Huangshan Mansion. In the morning, accompanied by He Yingqin and others, Chen Feng went to Chongqing to look at government schools and places where the army was stationed. Continue to hold meetings at Huangshan Mansion.

Compared with yesterday's meeting, today is going to be much faster. At the beginning of the meeting, Li Zongren agreed in principle to Chen Feng's redemption plan on behalf of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Clan. However, the Gui Clan warlords also proposed three conditions: the first is to ask Chen Feng Ensure that all Guangxi officers and soldiers are treated equally with the officers and soldiers of the Central Army and Serbia, especially in the process of position, rank and promotion, and they cannot be discriminated against because they were from the local warlords.

Second, after the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Clique were disrupted and reorganized, they could accept anyone's wisdom, but refused to become cannon fodder.

Third, in recent years, we have promised many preferential policies to the fathers and villagers of Guangxi for the purpose of conscription. This is also a last resort, so I hope that these preferential policies will not be canceled after the Guijun is integrated, especially those enjoyed by the military families!

Chen Feng immediately stated that he agreed to all these three conditions. This is the legitimate interest statement of the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Army and should be met.

Then, Long Yun agreed to Chen Feng's redemption plan on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army, but Long Yunque made a very embarrassing condition for Chen Feng, that is, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yunnan Army could not cut down even one member.

The reason why Long Yun put forward this condition has a lot to do with the style of the Dian army. Most of the Dian army has the habit of smoking. Some of them smoke big cigarettes, and some smoke dry tobacco, but whether it is big smoke or dry tobacco They all need a professional tool - a chimney, so the Dian army almost has a chimney in hand, so the Dian army also has a nickname - "Double Spearmen".

This one doesn't have a good reputation. In Yunnan, everyone can turn a blind eye to it, but if the army is reorganized, some of the two-handed soldiers obviously don't meet Chen Feng's recruitment standards, especially those who smoke opium. .Therefore, the officers of the Dian army were worried that Chen Feng would disarm their troops, and hoped to retain the two-pike soldiers to serve in the army.

Chen Feng is aware of the bad habits of the Yunnan Army. To be honest, when he put forward the redemption plan, Chen Feng had already decided to rectify all the warlord troops. The focus was on the Sichuan-Yunnan Second Army and the Majia Army in the Northwest. It made Chen Feng embarrassed.

"Chairman Long, this condition of yours makes me very embarrassed. I know you are worried about the fate of those two-handed soldiers. To be honest, those two-handed soldiers will definitely be eliminated, but I can keep the smokers. Officers and soldiers, those who smoke opium must not stay!" Chen Feng said to Long Yun.

"Serious brother, although some members of the palace army smoke, their combat effectiveness is not as low as what the outside world says. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Yunnan Army fought for ten days in a row, and the [-]th Division blood stained Yuwang Mountain. Hani's "God Crossbow" The night attack on the ammunition depot of the Japanese army made a great contribution to the victory of Taierzhuang. Besides, there are not many officers and soldiers smoking opium, so I hope that the serious brother can accept them!" Long Yun said.

What Long Yun said, Chen Feng also knew that the 66th Army of the Dian Army also participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and performed well, especially the 184th Division stationed at Yuwang Mountain, where the Japanese army was severely blocked. The onslaught was unable to break through the defense line of the 10th Division for several days. After repeated failures, the Japanese army became angry and increased their troops. With the cooperation of aircraft, tanks and artillery, they attacked Yuwang Mountain without stopping for more than [-] consecutive days.

The 300th Division, from the division commander Zhang Chong to the brigades and regiments, never left the line of fire, commanded the battle, and lived and died with the soldiers, sharing weal and woe.Therefore, during the entire Yuwangshan battle, even though the Yunnan soldiers participated in the battle for days and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy, and there were a lot of downsizing, their morale never diminished.Li Zuolian of the [-]th Regiment alone has replenished the number of troops several times, causing more than [-] casualties. Due to the tense battle, they could not be transported.And most of the living Yunnan soldiers became "blood men" covered with wounds and persisted in fighting.In this battle, Xiang Qilong, the nephew of Zhang Chong, the commander of the [-]th Division, and the battalion commander of the [-]th Regiment, died heroically.Indeed, he played very well and bravely, which is rare among local warlord troops.

Chen Feng sighed and said: "Chairman Long, it's not my brother, I won't give you this face. Soldiers who smoke opium are indeed not suitable to stay in the army, but I won't let them go. If there are not many of them , I will gather them and transfer them to the logistics department, and I will not let them fend for themselves. However, those officers who smoke opium are determined not to stay, not even one. Even if the soldiers have influence, it is very limited, but if the command Officers smoking opium, the impact is extremely bad. Besides, opium is easy to make mistakes. If an officer makes a mistake, the consequences will be extraordinary. At least tens of hundreds of lives will be affected. In a key position, it may even affect the outcome of a battle."

What Chen Feng said was reasonable, and Long Yun also knew that it was not easy for Chen Feng to achieve this step, which showed Chen Feng's sincerity.With Chen Feng's guarantee, Long Yun also accepted Chen Feng's plan on behalf of the Dian Army.

The Guangxi Army and the Dian Army agreed to accept Chen Feng's redemption plan, which was a crucial step in the unification of military orders.After the two major military blocs compromised, the rest of the troops would be easy to talk about.The Central Army had no reason to object, and the Jinsui Army completely obeyed Chen Feng's orders. The only ones left were the Sichuan Army, Ma's Army, Northwest Army, and Northeast Army.

Since the death of Liu Xiang, the Sichuan Army has no leader. With the Guangxi Army and the Dian Army as examples, those bigwigs in central Sichuan will definitely not object, and most of the generals in the Sichuan Army still have a good sense of righteousness.

The Northeast Army and the Little Northwest Army have basically been divided by the old man in the past few years. As long as Zhang Xiaoliu and Yang Hucheng don't jump out to make trouble, these two local armies will not become resistance. Now Chen Feng is most worried about Ning, Gan and Qing. Ma Jiajun.
