Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1134, reverse operation

Say nothing.

Send money directly.

The integer is sent first, directly to the individual.

The remaining change will need to wait because it involves change.

But as round numbers were dealt, morale immediately improved.

For ordinary people, the legal currency at this time is still very valuable.

One dollar of legal currency is equivalent to an ocean of cash.

[Favorability 74]

[Favorability 68]

[Favorability 77]

Information is constantly emerging. Zhang Yong expressed satisfaction.

After all, this is the first time the two parties have met. You can get such goodwill. It’s not simple anymore.

You must know that there are actually some gaps between him, Commissioner Zhang, and the Northeastern Army. Although the middle and lower-level officers didn't know it, Lu Xiangbi and others knew it.

Quietly observing Lu Xiangbi beside him.

[Favorability 51]

relatively low.

Barely crossing the center line.

It seems that Lao Lu is not so easy to bribe.

In other words, this guy is the kind of old soldier who is relatively rigid.

They don't have much respect for individuals. Just follow orders and do what you are told. Don't know how to be flexible.

Frankly, there are very few such people.

In the era of warlords' melee, if you don't know how to behave, you basically stand aside.

Or disappear. Or be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

I hope Lao Lu can fight.

Otherwise, you will really suffer a big loss.

Can't afford it.

Really can't afford it.

You must know that a dilapidated 107th Division has less than 4,000 people and its monthly salary exceeds 30,000 French coins.

Not counting food, clothing, footwear, food and other expenses.

If it is fully staffed, calculated based on 10,000 people, the monthly salary will be 80,000 French currency.

That’s 80,000 yuan!

Just thinking about it makes me feel stressed.

In the past, someone above asked me what I could do with 1 million yuan.

There are upvoted answers below. If you live a normal life, it would be a lot. But if we recruit more troops, we won't be able to organize even a brigade. This shows the huge consumption of the army.

This does not include the cost of weapons and equipment!

If the cost of weapons and equipment is taken into account, 1 million yuan is really not enough to last for three months.

No wonder most of the national army cannot receive adequate food and salary payments. As long as food and wages are paid out on time and in full, the combat effectiveness of this national army will soar rapidly.

For example, the 74th Army.

It was Wang Yaowu who found ways to make money on his own to supplement his food and salary.

According to the allocation from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, it would be considered good if 50% can be actually distributed. This is still the first-class main force. Other troops can be imagined.

The Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, but it is invincible if it is fully paid.

The same goes for the national army.

The expeditionary army has sufficient food and pay, and its combat effectiveness has taken on a new look. Soared directly from 30 to over 200.

The beating made Mutaguchi Lian completely collapse.

But after the War of Resistance Against Japan, things immediately returned to their original state. There are just no such supply conditions.

"Mr. Lu."

"arrive."

"There is no need to continue the meeting. All ministries should seize the time to distribute the money."

"yes."

Zhang Yong directly announced the end of the meeting.

Right now, sending money is the top priority.

The officers' pay has already been distributed on the spot. But I haven't gotten the soldier's yet.

If some soldiers are very angry, shoot them directly. Then oh no. He really died before he left the army, which made the hero burst into tears.

Return to division headquarters.

Sit down.

supervision.

Give out money.

Put everything else aside for the time being and distribute the money first.

Clear all the arrears of wages. Let every soldier get it for real.

"Mr. Lu."

"arrive."

"Let's go out and check."

"yes."

Lu Xiangbi agreed.

Wandering around the military camp with Zhang Yong. Random inspection.

See if there is anyone who hasn't received their salary yet. It turned out not to be. Everyone went to line up.

"Commander Lu, is the gambling situation serious in the army?"

"No."

"real?"

"There is no gambling or heavy smoking in my army."

"real?"

"Commissioner, if you find out that someone is gambling or smoking in the military camp, you will be shot directly. I will bear the brunt of my apology."

"Where is it outside the military camp?"

"I can't control that. Including finding a woman. As long as it's between you and me, I don't care."

"What if we bully the market?"

"Shot."

"good."

Zhang Yong nodded with satisfaction.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Lao Lu can manage the military camp well, which is already very good.

Outside the military camp, it was indeed beyond his capabilities.

In other words, Zhang Yongcai is in charge of the outside of the military camp. He supervises everything!

Smoking is prohibited.

Gambling is also prohibited.

Because gambling will cause officers to rob soldiers' salaries in disguise.

According to information disclosed in later generations, gambling was prevalent among a considerable portion of the national army. The officers tried their best to arrange various gambling games to defraud the soldiers of their money.

Many soldiers managed to get a little salary, but then gave it away to others.

How can such a unit have combat effectiveness?

Naturally, it collapsed at the first touch.

He even beat the officer with a black gun.

But looking for women outside the military camp...

It can only be said to be a normal physiological need...

If the people don't complain, the officials won't investigate.

At night.

The order in the military camp seemed to have improved automatically.

No orders were given. The soldiers who were wandering around before consciously followed the prescribed schedule.

The sentry also began to gain energy.

The duty officer also started patrolling.

Someone also took the initiative to clean up the hygiene inside and outside the barracks.

Standing at the entrance of the division, Zhang Yong saw for the first time the cold light flashing on the sentry's bayonet.

"Mr. Lu."

"arrive."

"Let's go for a walk."

"good."

Lu Xiangbi agreed.

Zhang Yong gradually got to know him. Know that the other person is serious about words and expressions.

The brain doesn't seem to be very good at turning around. When you talk to him, you need to speak clearly. Otherwise, he may really not understand.

"Commander Lu, we are about to fight the Japanese invaders."

"yes."

"The 107th Division will definitely go to the front line."

"yes."

"I don't know how to fight."

“…”

"So, I will not interfere with your military command."

“…”

"However, I will try my best to ensure the troops' food and ammunition supply. I will also provide accurate intelligence."

"yes."

Lu Xiangbi answered mechanically.

Zhang Yong then spoke more clearly.

In case the other party really doesn’t understand.

"There is still a lot of room for improvement in the combat effectiveness of the troops..."

"I need training ammunition."

"How many?"

"Ten rounds each."

"good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

So miserable. Not even ten bullets.

If you don't train at ordinary times and go to the battlefield, you will basically die in vain.

Check the portable ammunition depot.

Various types of ammunition were found. But not many.

The reserve limit of 7.92mm Mauser rifle ammunition has been reached, which is 99 boxes. That is about 100,000 rounds.

The same goes for the 7.62mm Mosin-Nagant rifle cartridge.

Other ammunition is basically calculated according to boxes. A box, more or less.

"I will first allocate you 100,000 rounds of Mauser rifle ammunition."

"yes."

"Then allocate another hundred thousand rounds of Mosin-Nagant rifle ammunition."

"yes."

"More will have to wait."

"That's a lot. Enough to train for a while."

Lu Xiangbi said hurriedly.

It is quite unexpected to replenish 200,000 rounds of ammunition at once!

At present, the ammunition reserve of the entire 107th Division is less than 100,000 rounds. As soon as Zhang Yong came, he directly replenished it two or three times?

"But I need to know the true level of the force."

"you say."

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will organize a shooting assessment."

"yes."

"All ammunition, allocated separately."

"yes."

Lu Xiangbi agreed.

Zhang Yong suddenly discovered that his favorability had skyrocketed.

[Favorability 65]

Huh?

Wasn't it just 51 before?

Why did it jump to 65 in such a short time?

Could it be said that money cannot increase the favorability of Mr. Lu? But weapons and ammunition? Does he prefer weapons and ammunition?

I guess so.

Between money and weapons and ammunition, the other party values ​​the latter more.

Open the system interface.

Extract ammunition.

Arrange delivery.

Then continue checking inside the barracks.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the officer on duty hurried over.

Zhang Yong deliberately remained silent.

Lu Xiangbi nodded.

"explain."

"Report, a transportation team came outside, saying that the Commissioner arranged to deliver the ammunition. The Commissioner needs to receive it personally."

"good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Then he waved his hand towards Lu Xiangbi.

The two came to the gate of the military camp and found many carts.

They were all pulled by mules.

Zhang Yong glanced quickly.

Huh?

It seems like more than just ammunition?

If it were just two hundred boxes of ammunition, there would be no need for so many pallets.

It felt like there were twenty carts. In addition to ammunition, there are also weapons. After checking, I found that they were horse-mounted four-ring rifles and Czech-style light machine guns.

this…

Is it an extra delivery from the system?

I don’t seem to have arranged the horse-mounted four-ring rifle and Czech style...

very good.

No one will be turned away. The more the merrier.

"Mr. Lu."

"arrive."

"Arrange for someone to unload the goods."

"yes."

Lu Xiangbi made arrangements immediately.

Zhang Yong found that the other party's favorability increased again.

[Favorability 75]

Skyrocketing!

Weapons and ammunition really work wonders.

good!

Stand aside.

Silently watching the officers and soldiers unloading the goods.

The first thing to be unloaded were boxes of horse four-ring rifles. "open."

"yes."

"Bang!"

The wooden box was pried open.

Revealing the horse's four-ring rifle inside.

Lu Xiangbi's eyes suddenly lit up. Subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed one.

He is an old battlefield. As soon as I got the gun, I knew it was a good thing. The build quality is very good. It's a first-class gun.

"Bang!"

Another wooden box was opened.

It is a component of a Czech light machine gun. decomposition state.

Assemble immediately.

Installed quickly.

Lu Xiangbi picked it up and inserted the magazine...

"Huh?"

Found something wrong.

The magazine is curved?

Never seen it before…

"The curved magazine holds thirty rounds."

"Nice gun."

Lu Xiangbi clicked his tongue and praised.

Straight magazines can only hold 20 rounds of ammunition. Firepower is prone to breakage.

If it has a 30-round ammunition capacity, it can greatly reduce the frequency of firepower disengagement. Can suppress enemies more effectively.

[Favorability 80]

[Favorability 85]

Zhang Yong:…

It turns out that it is so easy to bribe Lao Lu!

A few hundred Horse Rings and a few dozen Czech styles will suffice. If I had known...

If there are dozens of 75mm Italian cannons...

Isn’t the favorability going to skyrocket? Direct cap?

Calm and calm.

Continue unloading.

Then I discovered that my estimate seemed a bit wrong.

More and more horse-mounted four-ring rifles were unloaded, and there seemed to be more than a few hundred. It hasn't been unloaded yet, and the number has already exceeded a thousand.

Secretly surprised.

It turns out that the system has a big move!

If you don’t give it away, it’s fine. If you give it away, it’s thousands. Extraordinary shots.

Good thing!

The more the better.

Unfortunately, the Czech style is finished.

Exactly fifty. There are also some spare magazines and barrels.

It seems that the production efficiency of the Czech light machine gun is obviously not as good as the horse four-ring rifle. So, the quantity is much smaller.

His eyes silently swept over all the officers and soldiers.

It is found that their favorability is also increasing.

[Favorability 90]

【Favorability 93】

The favorability of many soldiers exceeds 90. The highest reached 95.

Obviously, most ordinary soldiers have really low requirements. As long as you have sufficient food and wages, and sufficient weapons and ammunition, you don't need to worry about other things.

There is no need for your orders or coercion, they will do their part automatically and consciously.

Including bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield and defending the homeland.

"Report."

"explain."

"Reporting to the commissioner, division commander, a total of 1,800 Ma Sihuan rifles and 50 Czech light machine guns were received. 800,000 rounds of 79 rifle ammunition. 300,000 rounds of water-linked bullets. 200,000 rounds of shell gun bullets. 5,000 landmines."

"Landmines?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised.

The system actually sent mines?

Or as many as five thousand? How are you going to use it?

It’s like landmines are defensive weapons…

"Yes. Mines."

"Will it work?"

"The engineers can use it."

"Arrange a few engineers to detonate one for me to see."

"yes."

The officer on duty will make arrangements.

Soon, a mine was laid.

They are all pressure mines. As long as you step on it with a certain amount of weight...

"call!"

Throw a big stone.

The mine exploded immediately.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The ground is slightly undulating.

A large cloud of dust flew up.

Zhang Yong nodded.

good. Landmines are indeed landmines. The explosion effect is fierce.

The main reason is that the charge capacity is relatively large. There may be hundreds of grams of high explosives inside. Compared with wooden handle grenades, it has several times more explosive charge.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as non-lethal weapons. All weapons are eager to increase their power to the limit. The same goes for landmines.

Thousands of landmines are used to defend against Japanese invaders, and the effect should be good.

Even anti-tank.

The Japanese aggressor's little bean tank was intoxicated as soon as it was fired.

"Mr. Lu."

"arrive."

"How many engineers are there in the army?"

"A platoon. About thirty people."

"Do you all know how to clear mines and lay mines?"

"I understand somewhat."

"Increase part of the establishment. It is required to master it as soon as possible. The combat backbone of other troops also undergo some basic training. When necessary, non-engineers also know how to lay mines. In future battles with the Japanese aggressors, mines may play a big role."

"yes."

"Is there artillery?"

"Yes. But he only knows how to operate mortars."

"Don't you understand direct-fire artillery?"

"Our division has never been equipped with direct-fire artillery."

"knew."

Zhang Yong was thoughtful. That's it.

For a force that started off so poorly, having a direct fire gun was a dream.

It would be nice to have a mortar.

In fact, the 107th Division didn't even have mortars. They were all temporarily transferred away by the military department.

The 107th Division is affiliated to the 67th Army. There is also a 108th Division under this army. This division is the main force of the military. The focus of resource allocation is tilted towards the 108th Division.

One corps governs two divisions.

One division governs two brigades.

One brigade was responsible for two regiments.

There are too many layers.

Need to streamline.

but…

etc!

In fact, it can also be done in reverse.

It is to fully flesh out this three-level structure. Fill in the empty spaces.

One corps and three divisions.

One division and three brigades.

One brigade and three regiments.

In this way, there are 27 regiments. It turns out there are only 8 groups.

It's also the number of an army. If you pull it out, there are 8 regiments. I pulled out and there were 27 groups. The force is several times yours.

If artillery regiments, tank regiments, cavalry regiments, etc. are fully deployed, there will be more than 30 regiments.

If we build a few more independent groups, new first group, new second group, etc., it is possible to have 40 groups.

But for Chiang Kai-shek, registration is still an army.

Low profile.

hey-hey.

Of course, Zhang Yong had to pay for all the extra soldiers, weapons and ammunition.

Lu Xiangbi definitely couldn't handle it.

I hope Lao Lu really knows how to fight.

pondering.

Decided to do the opposite.

As long as there is one division, it will be numbered 107.

First find a way to change the two-two system into a three-three system, enrich the personnel and equipment, and then fill up the nine regiments.

the next day…

Distribution of weapons and equipment…

The third day…

Start assessment.

The first round of assessment is shooting.

Zhang Yong hopes to select some of the best among them. Direct promotion to sergeant.

rifle.

Shooting from prone position.

Distance 100 meters.

Chest target.

"Those with scores above 40 rings will be rewarded with a piece of cash."

Zhang Yong announced loudly.

He doesn't like shouting slogans. Speak directly with Xian Dayang.

It doesn't matter if you are a veteran or something like that, as long as you have the ability, you can get a piece of cash.

Bang!

Bang!

Shooting begins.

End soon.

"Everyone! Stop shooting! Stand up!"

"Target report!"

"Target No. 1 has 25 rings."

"Target No. 2 has 36 rings."

"Target No. 3..."

The situation is far from ideal.

The thirty soldiers who shot in the first round had the best score of 38 rings.

Surprisingly, no one has exceeded 40 rings.

Zhang Yong turned to look at Lu Xiangbi. But Lu Xiangbi had no expression on his face.

Obviously, Lao Lu doesn't feel ashamed of this result.

Shooting training consumes ammunition. Without adequate ammunition training, how much more can you ask for?

Just being able to hit the target is already pretty good.

Continue the assessment.

Finally, some people intermittently exceeded 40 rings.

They are indeed some veterans.

It is impossible to say how advanced the thinking is.

There is no lofty consciousness. Just a good shot. It has been honed over many years.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as we can kill the Japanese invaders.

Ideological education and so on are things for the future.

award!

Send money!

Distributed on the spot.

As long as the score reaches 40 rings, come up and get the cash immediately!

The day passes quickly...

Another day…

Another day…

Finally, all assessments were completed.

Including all officers. Including division commander Lu Xiangbi.

Lu Xiangbi's score was stuck at 39 rings. Sorry, no reward. If there are less than 40 rings, then there is none.

Surprisingly, many company commanders and platoon commanders have very good marksmanship. Most lieutenants can get rewards.

Sure enough, the foundation is still there. Although there are not many people.

As ammunition is gradually replenished and shooting training is enhanced, the overall performance will inevitably improve.

"Mr. Lu."

"arrive."

"I want to transfer one hundred and fifty people from the army to form a special service company. I need to take them out to perform tasks."

"yes."

Lu Xiangbi agreed.

Zhang Yong then selected the people himself. Be highly favorable.

At least above 85. This will ensure that no accidents occur. He was in the 107th Division and was completely established.

Soon, the special service company was formed.

Equip them with partial shell guns, horse rings, and Czechs. There are also grenades.

Then set off.

do what?

Of course, I went out to patrol the city.

I spent so much money in one go, I must get it back.

We must catch a few spies and fat sheep...

Set off.

Hey!

There are red dots!

There really is another spy!
