Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 311 The Darkness Before Dawn ([-])

"Army seat, Chen Bulei said that if we are willing to release those Japanese prisoners of war, Nanjing will give us an army formation—" Ouyang Yun heard Zhang Zhen's slightly beating voice on the phone, and his heart couldn't help but "boom" a violent jump--

Army group, what is that concept?This temptation is too great, so don't you want to be promoted to commander?
When Zhang Zhenchu ​​heard the news from Chen Bulei, he was even more surprised.His performance was not bad, but the expressions of the staff officers under him were much more colorful.It's no wonder that they are the current promotion speed of the Xuebing Army, which is unprecedented. Besides, this is not just an empty-headed army with a brand name, it has a huge army raising site.Now, it has only been more than two months since the formation of the army, and the following establishments have not been filled yet, and they can still be promoted to a higher level.If this statement didn't come from Chen Bulei's mouth, and if the relationship between Chen Bulei and Lao Jiang wasn't well-known to passers-by, it is estimated that the young staff officers of the Xuebing Army would think that the person sitting opposite him was a big liar.

After not hearing Ouyang Yun's answer for a while, Zhang Zhen thought he was tempted, and said: "Chen Bulei has the official document of the Military Commission with him, so it should not be a fake."

"Old Zhang, what do you think?" Ouyang Yun lit a cigarette, took a sip, and slowly calmed down.

In fact, Zhang Zhen already had an idea, but after listening to Ouyang Yun's question, he still considered it for a while, and then said: "I think it's feasible. There are too many prisoners of war. Although our handling strategy is correct, it is difficult to guarantee anything." There will be mistakes from time to time. Military seat, to tell you the truth, I always feel that putting these little devils in Renqiu and dispatching them to the factory is like putting a bomb around me. God knows when it will explode. Ji Cha Its territory is not small, and it is possible to raise a group army. I think we can add one more thing when we accept this condition, that is, the control of the whole territory of Hebei. It seems that Zhangjiakou must be handed over. This is conducive to stability and unity. However, since the 132nd Division has been assigned to the 59th Army, should their territory in Hebei be handed over to us? Military seat, what do you think?"

After pondering for a while, Ouyang Yun said: "Old Zhang, it seems that you are very interested in agreeing to this condition?"

Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "That's right, who doesn't want to have more troops and generals. I can see the morals of this world. Whoever has a gun in his hand is the boss. Hehe, since the expansion of the army can be justified, why not do it? "

Ouyang Yun smiled wryly, why didn't he know this truth, but is it really that simple?He said: "But have you thought about a problem? Nanjing agreed to our military expansion, but where does our military expenditure come from? Nanjing will not allocate money, will it?"

Zhang Zhen didn't think about this question at all, because in his opinion, Ren Qiu was too rich.He said, "Aren't we rich?"

"Are you rich?" Ouyang Yun laughed dumbfounded, thinking that it seems time to formulate a financial disclosure policy, otherwise, the guys below may think we are rich, "Old Zhang, you don't know if you are a family member." Oil and salt are expensive, Mr. Jiang is complaining to me now. Among other things, these [-] little devils prisoners of war cost us two months' total income. If it weren't for the pharmaceutical company to develop new Products, in order to get a lot of deposits from foreign agents, we may have gone bankrupt."

Ouyang Yun's words were not alarmist.The construction of the Xuebing Army is different from other domestic armies. For example, Yan Xishan and the others rely entirely on local finances. That's it.As for the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi, since the local economy is not bad, and Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi are very concerned about the development of the people's livelihood and economy, it is not a problem to support the army in hand. Among them, the rich are like Guangdong. As a warlord, he piled up the air force with banknotes.The route taken by the Xue Bingjun is different from the above. The most notable point is that the Renqiu government's taxes are very low, and there are even subsidies for some key industries, such as agriculture.Of course, Renqiu's industrial level is not comparable to that of Guangdong and Guangxi. Among them, penicillin and diesel engines can not only meet domestic demand, but can even be exported.The high-end industries such as television and radio, as well as the output of high-end technology, have also brought Ren Qiu a lot of money.But that's it, it's not obvious at ordinary times, once there is a war, Ren Qiu's finances will be overwhelmed.For this reason, Jiang Shuren often complained to Ouyang Yun.

It was the first time Zhang Zhen knew this, and he was very surprised.Since Chen Bulei was still waiting for news, he said shortly: "Since this is the case, then I can only refuse."

"En. Old Zhang, as long as our economic strength increases, our army building will naturally increase. Even if we don't have an establishment, we will still have ways to expand our army. Don't be disappointed."

"No! I have confidence in our student army."

"That's good, that's it, I have to go to the Xuebing Research and Development Institute."

"Well, I know how to respond to Chen Bulei now."

Ren Qiu and his party, Chen Bulei finally returned without success.And not long after he returned to Nanjing, the newly established Japanese North China Garrison first dispatched troops to Fengtai, and then, the 7th Division and 11th Division of the Kwantung Army under Chen Bingrehe and the Chahar border area. During the so-called exercise, he assumed a aggressive offensive posture.At this point, anyone with a little military vision can see that a big war between China and Japan is imminent.

Faced with the provocation of the Japanese, Zhang Zizhong, who had been promoted to the commander of the 59th Army, and Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, chose to back down after accepting the admonition of the Nanjing Military Commission.Therefore, amidst the uproar in the country, the Japanese army occupied Fengtai without bloodshed.The Xuebing Army began to prepare for battle in Wanping City.At the same time, there were two completely different voices in China regarding the release of Japanese prisoners of war.Among them, some politicians (mainly in Nanjing) called on the Xuebing Army to release the prisoners of war as soon as possible, so as to calm the anger of the Japanese government and prevent the Japanese army from using this as an excuse to invade North China. Sentencing for crimes, those who deserve to be killed, those who deserve to be shut down... Just when everyone's eyes in the country were drawn to a corner of Renqiu, a small-scale military conflict was going on in Dongshan County, Fujian Province——
