Glorious Mission 1937

() After the joy of these officers subsided a little bit, Chen Feng continued: "The reason why I asked the chief of staff to report the battle losses before mentioning the battle results is to let you know that your current status is not due to your own merits. How big is it, worthy of those woolen coats. Your current status is entirely bought by your brothers with their lives and blood, so you must be worthy of this heavy trust, and don’t let your brothers Their blood was shed in vain, resisting the sun and killing the enemy to avenge the dead brothers Snowflakes."

"Resist the sun and kill the enemy, revenge and revenge!"

"Resist the sun and kill the enemy, revenge and revenge!"

Chen Feng made a quiet gesture, and then said: "As an officer, we should all know that there is no one who is undead in a war, and we can't control this. But since we have brought our brothers to the battlefield, then we have to think about them They are willing to follow us to put down their hoes and brushes to fight devils, because they trust us, so we can't let these heroes shed blood and tears."

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng took out a document, and said loudly: "This is a standard and implementation method for the compensation for dead and wounded soldiers that I formulated. According to different military ranks, various compensation standards are different. Our 222nd Division has the lowest compensation for those killed in battle. The standard is 300 yuan. As long as a soldier of the 222nd Division is killed in the war, as long as he is not recognized as a deserter, his family will receive a pension of 300 yuan from the army and an annual pension of 100 yuan each year. According to the different military ranks, the standard is increased by 10% for each level up. Our military ranks are based on the "Regulations on the Enforcement of Appointment of Generals" and "Regulations on the Appointment of Special Generals" promulgated by the Nationalist Government in March 1935. Fifth rank (super general, first rank general, second rank general, lieutenant general, major general), third rank of field officer (colonel, lieutenant colonel, major), fourth rank of lieutenant officer (captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, warrant officer), sergeant Three grades (sergeant, sergeant, corporal), three grades of soldiers (first class, first class, second class), a total of 3 grades."

"Since my highest rank in the 222nd Division is me, Lieutenant General, Division Commander, if I die in battle, my family members will receive a one-time pension of 810 yuan, and the family members will receive an annual pension of 270 yuan from the army. In addition, If a soldier is disabled during the war, the army will also give compensation according to the corresponding standard. If the army loses the ability to work, it needs to be given special care. After the disabled soldier is discharged from the army, the local government will give priority to resettlement. Our troops must not let heroes bleed on the battlefield and cry at home."

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, there was warm applause in the conference room.Although the national government had promulgated the pension system before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to various reasons, the proportion of pensioners was extremely low, and the military pension system was almost useless. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the national government strengthened the military pension system.

But this system may not necessarily apply even to Lao Jiang's direct line troops, let alone local troops.Therefore, many local troops and the vast majority of the central yang army are very dissatisfied with the pension system of the Nationalist government. After many soldiers died in battle, their family members did not receive any pension at all, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the people for the war of resistance.

Moreover, Chen Feng also knew that even such a pension system could not be implemented on a large scale. With the sharp increase in the number of military casualties, it became more and more difficult for the above-mentioned system to adapt to the pension affairs of the War of Resistance, and the urgency of strengthening the pension system for soldiers became increasingly prominent.For example, in 1937, there were 609594 casualties; in 1938, the casualties rose to 1220821.At the same time, the proportion of beneficiaries is extremely low.For example, in 1937, there were 8647 officers and soldiers receiving pensions, and the pension ratio was 1.4%; in 1938, there were 14156 officers and soldiers receiving pensions, and the pension ratio was only 1.2%4.Especially in 1938, the number of casualties of officers and soldiers ranked first in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, but the pension rate was the lowest, showing that the military pension system of the Nationalist government was almost useless.

Without a perfect pension system, it is difficult to protect the interests of casualties; without pension compensation, disabled soldiers or bereaved families cannot experience the comfort from the government both materially and spiritually, which is not conducive to easing the war Difficulties for service members and their families.Wars cost soldiers their lives. Zheng fu needs to consciously use political power and organizational management capabilities to provide material assistance to disabled soldiers and bereaved families through system construction, enrich pension organizations, and improve pension rules, as well as spiritual comfort. Stabilize military families where possible, thereby mitigating the risks of war.

Pensions play an indispensable role in the process of implementing the distribution principle. The family lost a healthy labor force due to military casualties due to the War of Resistance, which will inevitably affect labor production and reduce family income. Zheng Fu allocates a portion of pensions or care materials from the national income every year, which is in line with the theoretical principles of redistribution of national income and social products. This is also the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of soldiers, which can improve the social status and material treatment of soldiers, and stabilize the morale of the anti-Japanese army , to ensure national and social security.

How does the National Zheng Fu do?

On this one-third of an acre of land, everything has to be listened to by him, so the money must be paid. Only with this money, the soldiers will have no worries, and it can be directly transformed into combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

"Master, isn't this standard a bit...a bit..." Yang Yi opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything.

Chen Feng looked at Yang Yi and said, "Is it true that the standards of soldiers are a bit high, while the standards of officers, especially generals, are a bit low?"

"Yes, the division seat. After a soldier of the central yang army is killed, the government will give a maximum of 100 yuan in compensation, and this standard is only implemented in a small number of direct troops. The vast majority of soldiers will die when they die. And we raised the standard to 300 yuan all at once, which will definitely bring a huge financial burden to the troops. In addition, if a general of the central yang army is killed in battle, the family members will receive a one-time pension of 3000 yuan, which will be paid every year thereafter. You will get an annual pension of 1500 yuan. Even if you die from illness due to overwork, you can get a one-time pension of 800 yuan."

"In addition, due to different military branches, pension benefits are also different. As a special military branch, the Air Force has higher pension benefits than the Army and Navy. Taking death in action as an example, the one-time pension of the Air Force general is 20000 yuan, and the annual pension for the bereaved The one-off pension for Army generals is 1500 yuan, and the annual pension for bereaved families is 3000 yuan. The pension standard for Air Force generals is nearly seven times that of Army generals. The annual pension is 800 yuan; the one-time death pension for the army corps is 7 yuan, and the annual pension for the bereaved is only 1000 yuan. The death pension standard for the air force corps is 105 times that of the army corps. Our standard will make many officers dissatisfied , Master, should you reconsider it?"

Chen Feng said loudly: "The problems you mentioned all exist, but the establishment of a sound and reasonable pension system is the key to the survival and development of our 222 division. It is precisely because of seeing that the Nationalist government exists in the pensions for the dead and disabled officers and soldiers. This is why we cannot copy their regulations and standards. The standard of pensions for soldiers is indeed a bit high, but for the loss of a family, how can our little money compare with it. So no matter how difficult it is, we will This system must be implemented. We are not a political group, and our decisions don’t represent anything. All we do is hope that our brothers can wholeheartedly fight devils, even if they die in battle, they can die without worries. That's all!"

"Master, we are really happy with this pension system. With this system, we can go to the battlefield without any worries. Even if we die in battle, our family members will be helped, so that we will not be tortured by poverty and diseases. But Master Have you ever thought, once this system is implemented throughout the army, the army or the Chen family will face huge economic pressure. Most of us have followed the division from the beginning, you have tried your best The family property pulled up this anti-Japanese team, and even borrowed millions of oceans for this. To be honest, this team is the private army of the division seat. Once this pension system is implemented, all the money will go to the Chen family. No matter if it is Chief Yan in the World War II zone or Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, he will not pay even a penny for the seat of the teacher, so the money spent by the Chen family will definitely be like water." Xu Hu said in a deep voice.

"I know this, and that's the same sentence. For the survival and development of the army, to prevent heroes from shedding blood and tears, and to defend our homeland, we must persevere no matter how difficult it is. And we have to do more than that. In addition to high standards In addition to pensions, we also give preferential treatment to the families of soldiers who went to fight against the enemy. The soldiers abandoned their wives and children in order to defend the country, and their families were in poverty. In order to relieve the worries of the soldiers and stabilize the war of resistance The life of the military family can improve the social status of the anti-Japanese military family, so as to encourage the determination of the soldiers in the front to kill the enemy, and the people in the rear to serve enthusiastically." At this point, Chen Feng suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The following are the specific methods for the preferential treatment of the military family. Strict implementation: All family members of soldiers who went to fight against the enemy can reduce or exempt temporary donations and hard labor; children of soldiers who went to fight against the enemy and enter public schools are exempted from tuition fees, and children of soldiers who died in the fight against Japan, injured and disabled officers and soldiers are all exempted from schooling No tuition fees, experimental fees, and allowances for board and lodging; family members of soldiers who go to fight against the enemy can be exempted from paying medical fees if they go to public hospitals or clinics for treatment. Family members of soldiers who go to fight against the enemy can enjoy the benefits of all public welfare facilities first; If family members are involved in lawsuits, the accepting authority should handle them in advance; when family members of soldiers who are going to fight against the enemy need funds for their production business, they can apply for small loans; ;If the family members of the soldiers who went to fight against the enemy have no land to cultivate, they can apply to the preferential treatment committee or the sub-committee will ask the local government to designate public land for them to cultivate. Those who die, those who cannot be buried, those who cannot raise their children, and those who marry their children, can apply for relief from the preferential treatment committee or branch. For the elderly and weak, subsidize living expenses or enter nursing homes and kindergartens...."
