The Republic of Heroes

Chapter 245 Expansion of the Army

Of course Wu Xiaoliang wasn't talking nonsense, just three hours ago, he got a piece of news from Tianjin Sun Jiayu that made him restless for a long time.He originally sent a telegram with the attitude of giving it a try, to see if Tianjin Liangda could allocate funds to support Suidong's predicament.Unexpectedly, Sun Jiayu agreed and gave an astronomical figure. Liangda currently has more than 5000 million yuan in funds that can be transferred at any time.

Sun Jiayu is really capable. The advent of penicillin was at the right time. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured every day in the European War. He took this opportunity to dump a large amount in Europe, and the Nobel Prize was awarded to Wu Xiaoliang, and Banting, a Western face, proved it , have provided a strong reputation guarantee for the penicillin produced by Liangda.

After the patent was registered in Europe, Liangda’s penicillin was shipped to Europe in a whole ship. After only half a year, he accumulated a wealth of more than 5000 million pounds, which was equivalent to an astonishing 3 million yuan in Chinese silver dollars. What kind of huge profit is this?However, only 7000 million of this huge wealth was remitted back to China. Due to various resistances, most of the wealth was stranded in Europe.

At this time, Sun Jiayu was even more ambitious. He planned to build a pharmaceutical factory in Europe. France and Britain had already been selected, and the preliminary investigation was basically completed. He only had to wait for him to visit in autumn to finalize the plan and start the formal construction.

So at this meeting, when the subordinates who opposed Wu Xiaoliang pinned all their resistance on huge financial expenditures, they fell into his hands. The 5000 million yuan of funds will shock everyone here like petrochemicals. If Fang Qidao was still amazed when he saw the whole ship of munitions worth 2000 million yuan, then he has no words to describe his inner feelings at this moment. .

It's hard to imagine where Wu Xiaoliang got the 5000 million. Although the old brothers knew that his family was well off and owned a pharmaceutical factory, they never imagined that the pharmaceutical factory could make such money.

"Hey, our Suidong army has become a rich man!" Li Zejun murmured subconsciously.

After throwing out the news of 5000 million, although some people still thought that the Japanese would be offended and would pose a threat to the Suidong Army, Wu Xiaoliang finally lost his temper in the face of the war-afraid officers.

"Is my generation of soldiers coming to the Northeast to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and to protect ourselves? If any of you join the Suidong Army for this, then I'm sorry, please leave. The Suidong Army does not need to only seek self-protection at critical moments For the timid, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. The root cause of China’s frequent failures in foreign wars over the past century is that we are discouraged before fighting. We must have the spirit of daring to shine the sword, and the brave win when we meet on a narrow road! If he comes to Japan, I, Wu Xiaoliang, will dare Let's fight with them for real!"

His words were unceremonious, and the atmosphere of the venue suddenly became tense, and there was no sound. The officer who made the fear of war speech just now was soaked in sweat. This almost gaffe speech is enough to prove the anger in his heart.

The goal of taking over the Hanoi and resisting the Japanese was finalized.Then enter the second topic of today's meeting, military expansion.

Before this battle, Wu Xiaoliang robbed 2000 million munitions from Qinhuangdao, and the expansion of the army can be put on the agenda in advance. First of all, regarding the scale of the expansion of the army, Yin Chengfu believes that at least two divisions of the army should be expanded before the Suidong Army can gain a firm foothold here. , compared with the relatively conservative Yin Chengfu, Li Zejun's plan is almost crazy.

"How can two divisions be possible? I think at least four divisions are needed. Otherwise, those munitions left in the warehouse are still waiting to grow hair, so it is better to use them all."

Wang Huaishi is more conservative than Yin Chengfu, but his starting point is not based on the needs of Suidong's defense, but based on the size of the Northeast Company's pocketbook.Although the Northeast Company operates the gold mines, coal mines, and lumber yards in the Suifenhe area, due to the short period of time and the rapid experience of war, the funds that can be drawn to form the army are actually extremely limited.

"At present, according to the financial resources of Suidong Northeast Company, it is not bad to form one division, let alone two divisions, four divisions? Tens of thousands of people, a few months of hard work will empty our family base! "

Li Zejun heard that Wang Huaishi chopped off the three divisions with a single mouth, stretched out his hand and slapped the table, and shouted: "Wang Supervisor, 'If the army is formed, Wang Huaishi agrees with both hands and feet' who said this? Why? Are you going to break your promise in a blink of an eye?"

Li Zejun really wronged Wang Huai this time. If he really formed four army divisions, the entire Northeast Company could be emptied out in a few months.

There were endless quarrels in the venue, and Wu Xiaoliang was so disturbed that he became more and more helpless. If he had to quarrel endlessly every time he needed to pass a topic, it would be a painful torment. He was in a cocoon. The feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

In the end, after negotiation and compromise, everyone has always decided to form two army divisions and an independent cavalry regiment, while the original Suidong Army's first brigade was expanded into divisions.Therefore, the battle order of the Suidong Army is tentatively determined as the first division of the Suidong Army, which is expanded from the old foundation of the original Suidong Army, and the division commander is concurrently held by Wu Xiaoliang; the independent cavalry regiment is directly under the former Fourth Mixed Brigade Headquarters The cavalry company was expanded, headed by Li Zejun; the second and third divisions were recruited entirely from recruits, and the division commanders were Fang Qidao and Yin Chengfu respectively.

At the same time, the Suidong Army Command was established, Wu Xiaoliang served as the commander himself, and Li Zejun's independent cavalry regiment was directly under the headquarters of Xinchengli.

After the construction of the Suidong Army framework was completed, a new Suidong officer training class was established in Vladivostok to cope with the officer vacancies caused by the large-scale military expansion.Wu Xiaoliang personally served as the principal of the training class, while Fang Qidao, Yin Chengfu, and Li Zejun served as teachers of the training class.

The Suidong Army was thriving. During this period, Wu Xiaoliang made a decision to send all the remnants of Malinovsky's gang abandoned in Vladivostok to work as miners in the major mines that had resumed production one after another.

Wu Xiaoliang also held a meeting of ten thousand people specially for this matter, in which he read out the crimes committed by the remnants of these bandits, and denounced their crimes as too many to write down, and the people and gods were all angry. Opportunity, sending them to work in the mines is a necessary labor reform for these criminals, and those who show positive progress can be released as appropriate.

Li Zejun was greatly impressed by Wu Xiaoliang's approach.

"Commander, good trick!"

Just when everyone was full of ambition, Petrov came to see Wu Xiaoliang sweating profusely.

"General Wu, you have to take charge of this matter yourself!"
