567 Disadvantages of the Red Army
Li Guosheng nodded with satisfaction, and continued to speak as the two of them looked at them more and more passionately: "Since that's the case, we've decided on this method. Next, let's continue to discuss my second method..."
After turning his eyes to He Shiyan, Li Guosheng asked with interest: "Team Commander He, in your report just now, I really want to hear that many people on the front line of the Yellow River want to participate in our National Defense Forces. You must know that since ancient times, we Chinese have a saying that "good iron does not make nails, good men do not become soldiers." I want to know why the people here want to join the army so much..."
"Of course, our National Defense Forces have good benefits and have been winning battles..." He Shiyan answered naturally.
"After entering the defense zone, in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, I used some people-friendly methods that our National Defense Forces had used. Not to mention, the effect was surprisingly good. The people are not only no longer afraid of our National Defense Forces, but also are curious about our National Defense Forces and ask about their well-being."
Li Guosheng smiled and said, "Then you ordered the troops to take this opportunity to promote the various welfare benefits of our defense force..."
After being affirmed by Li Guosheng's work, He Shiyan's expression of excitement became even stronger and he replied loudly.
“Yes, the chief executive…”
"It not only promotes our welfare and treatment, but also promotes the various achievements of our National Defense Forces since its establishment, making the National Defense Forces gradually become a heroic force in the hearts of the people, and takes pride in joining the National Defense Forces."
"In addition, I also spread all the military camps to the people around the garrison, except for the arsenal and other important units. I will allow everyone to visit and let the troops conduct open training..."
"After this series of things, the people around the garrison knew that joining the National Defense Forces not only allowed you to get generous military pay, but your family members could also get different degrees of exemption in terms of food taxes. More importantly, even if you die in the battlefield in the future, the generous pensions you receive will be enough for your family to live for the rest of their lives..."
"However, because of our National Defense Forces' military discipline, although everyone is very enthusiastic about participating in the National Defense Forces, I did not nod and agreed. I just simply register young and middle-aged people who want to participate in the National Defense Forces."
He Shiyan's series of actions will undoubtedly play a very positive role in the second method he has to take action next. Thinking of this, Li Guosheng couldn't help but throw a glimpse of praise at He Shiyan in front of him. At the same time, he also remembered this very smart major general in his heart.
Of course, He Shiyan didn't know at this moment. He had already left a deep impression on Li Guosheng.
More importantly, it won’t take long to get a promotion order from the General Command of the National Defense Forces.
Seeing the increasingly dense smile on Li Guosheng's face, he was excited and asked subconsciously: "Master, is your second solution related to recruiting soldiers..."
"Yes, it's just recruiting soldiers..." Li Guosheng said affirmatively with a smile.
He said mysteriously to Commander He Shiyan: "All the methods I just did are just to dismantle the mass base of the Red Party. And my next method is to target the Red Party Red Army..."
Two days later, a notice appeared at the gates of major military camps of the National Defense Forces stationed on the Yellow River front.
Not only that, local officials also informed the people in the jurisdiction of each village to inform them of the people in their jurisdiction.
"In order to alleviate the pressure on the defense force, the General Command of the Defense Forces ordered that 5,000 new recruits will be recruited in its jurisdiction... All young and middle-aged people who are willing to participate in the defense force will quickly go to the nearest military barracks report to meet the various recruitment conditions issued by the Defense Forces. You can join the Defense Forces and become a new recruit for the Defense Forces..."
Upon hearing this news, most young people in the jurisdiction couldn't help but feel excited.
Wearing a camouflage training suit, carrying a rifle that I had never seen before, he was heroically training on the training ground...
Of course, this is just one aspect that attracts young people.
In the eyes of the lowest-class people in China, it is natural to be a soldier to eat food. Therefore, if you want to join the army, the first thing you think of is the luxury welfare benefits of the National Defense Forces.
"Ordinary recruits, also known as the National Welfare Army Private, have a monthly salary of six yuan. After being promoted to a corporal in the field force, they have a monthly salary of eight yuan. As their service period reaches two years, they have been promoted from a corporal to a sergeant, and their monthly salary is directly increased to twelve yuan."
"Of course, if you perform well in the army and be promoted to the sergeant squad leader, your monthly military pay will become fifteen yuan. If you have the opportunity to be promoted to the lieutenant, your monthly military pay will increase exponentially, and you will also be recommended to study and further your studies..."
In other words, just one military pay received after joining the National Defense Forces, the military pay received by a single person in the family can achieve the labor income of a family working hard in the field for a year.
This is just the second benefit after joining the National Defense Forces.
As long as one of the people under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Forces joins the army, the family can receive a preferential policy of exempting 500 kilograms of grain tax every year during the entire service period.
Compared with military pay, although 500 kilograms of grain is not a lot. However, in the eyes of the people who have always lived at the bottom, 500 kilograms of grain can completely satisfy the annual ration for one person in the family.
Therefore, as soon as the National Defense Forces recruitment notice was posted, the garrison camps of the 021st Division were located in various places, and a large number of young people who wanted to join the army were welcomed.
After some strict selection, all five thousand recruits who fully met the standards were determined in just five days.
Facing five thousand new recruits who are among the best among the best, all of them are young men in their twenties.
If it was other warlord troops, or even Chiang Kai-shek's central government army, facing the thousands of new soldiers who had finally recruited, they would definitely be sent to the military camp for training as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
However, the National Wehrmacht in front of us is different.
With Li Guosheng's special instructions, this recruitment performed all the forms of the National Defense Forces vividly.
Five thousand new recruits were escorted by villages and towns. Under the same number of National Defense Force soldiers, they brought big red flowers and returned to their hometowns to parade in cars. Of course, while the parade was also distributed to their families with a hundred ocean settlement fees paid by the National Defense Forces to each new recruit under the gaze of all villagers and neighbors...
After all a series of situations were completed, five thousand new soldiers rushed to Taiyuan for concentrated training under the transportation of the car battalion.
Although the National Defense Forces recruit new recruits has passed, the series of impacts that recruiting new recruits has brought to ordinary people has been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
In a farmer's house about one kilometer away from the Yellow River, the whole family of five was sitting around the only table at home without saying a word.
You can feel the solemn expression on everyone's faces. The atmosphere at this home is not very good at this moment.
This is indeed the case.
A few months ago, when the National Defense Forces had not accepted the place, the Red Party Red Army was undoubtedly the master of the place. Faced with the continuous instigation of the Red Party propaganda team, coupled with the dozens of kilograms of white flour distributed to his family after the Red Party defeated the local tyrants, Wang Yougen, as the head of the family, decided to let his second son, who had not yet married, join the Red Army.
At that time, because his son joined the Red Army, Wang Yougen, who thought he had found a good way out for his son to show off his ancestors, also showed off his pride among the neighbors and villagers around him, as if his son went out to be a high-ranking official.
However, all of this slowly changed due to the arrival of the Wehrmacht.
The National Defense Forces not only did not confiscate the land that the Red Army distributed to itself after the attack on the tyrants, but also distributed several acres of land to each of their family members with eight acres of fertile land. Not only that, they also met all the heavy taxes added to them by the government. A fixed grain tax was only collected once a year based on the number of land in the family of his confidant.
Because his son joined the Red Army, Wang Yougen thought that everything he saw was an illusion. In order to win people's hearts, the National Defense Force had to follow the footsteps of the Red Army. He distributed land and reduced taxes. Over time, the National Defense Forces occupying this place would sooner or later show their fangs and take back the things they distributed to everyone.
However, what surprised Wang Yougen was that not only did he not see the National Defense Forces take back the fields in everyone's hands, but he also re-wrote the government-approved land deeds for everyone...
In the Chinese people's thoughts since ancient times, only with the land deed can this land truly belong to them and no one can take it away. Therefore, on the day when they obtained the land deed, the whole family cried with joy. At the same time, Wang Yougen's impression of the National Defense Forces also changed greatly and began to support the various policies of the National Defense Forces.
When the National Defense Force told everyone again: In order to ensure the autumn harvest, the National Defense Force will provide everyone with high-quality varieties, even cultivation tools and oxen after plowing.
In Wang Yougen's heart, the status of the National Defense Forces has invisibly surpassed the Red Army of the Red Party that his son participated in. The National Defense Forces that occupied Shanxi in front of him were not to exploit themselves, but to truly make themselves rich.
However, when the National Defense Forces began to recruit soldiers in the local area, Wang Yougen's thoughts changed again.
Especially when I saw that the National Defense Forces really delivered 100 yuan of settlement fees to my neighbor Lao Wang, and promised Lao Wang in front of all the villagers that the soldiers’ monthly military pay will be paid in full and there will be no deductions. As military families, the new soldiers can enjoy the preferential policy of reducing the tax on grain by 500 kilograms every year...
Seeing the excitement and pride expressions on Lao Wang's face, Wang Yougen suddenly felt how stupid it was to let the second son join the Red Army.
If his second son did not join the Red Army, if his second son joined the National Defense Forces, he could also receive a settlement fee of 100 yuan like his neighbors. Seeing his son carrying big red flowers, he was escorted by the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces and paraded in a car that he had never taken in his entire life and praised him in public...
However, all of this was shattered by my stupid decision.
The son's participation in the so-called Red Army of the Red Party not only did not bring any benefits to his family, but also did not have the generous military pay from the National Defense Forces, and even did not even have the minimum pension after his death in the battle...
The National Defense Force in front of us not only paid a settlement fee, exempting the family from certain food taxes, and implying that the full military pay is paid every month, and you can eat meat every meal in the army... More importantly, even if you die in the battlefield one day in the future, the pensions given to the family by the National Defense Force will be enough for the family to spend the rest of their lives without worry...
Compared with the two, the huge gap is clearly revealed in front of Wang Yougen.
At this moment, Wang Yougen suddenly felt that in the face of the benefits given by the National Defense Forces and the various vague futures promised by the Red Party Red Army to him, he seemed to be deceived by the Red Party Red Army. Under the constant deception of the Red Party Red Army, he sent his second son to the Red Party Red Army, who had no military pay or welfare benefits to suffer.
Facing Wang Yougen's face with his face changing constantly, his wife with a hint of regret on her face asked loudly: "You, the head of the family, say something... Look at what you did at the beginning, and actually let the second brother join the Red Army, who couldn't even eat enough."
"You are looking at Lao Wang, the next door family. His son joined the National Defense Forces. He not only paid a settlement fee of 100 yuan, but also exempted 500 kilograms of grain tax every year. There are also six yuan of military pay per month. That's six yuan. Even if it's used to buy all the grain, it's enough for our five-person family to eat a month..."
Seeing Wang Yougen who kept silent in front of him, his wife continued to complain: "My miserable second... His son ate meat every day in the National Defense Forces and dressed well every day, but our son was hungry every day in the Red Army and could not wear a new piece of clothing a year. If he could not eat meat a few times, is this retribution...?"
Just as his wife was about to continue talking, Wang Yougen finally spoke: "Have you said enough... I also want our second son to join the National Defense Forces, but didn't you think about it at the beginning... Now that the second son has joined the Red Army and has been to Shaanxi, what's the use of regretting it now..."
Seeing that Wang Yougen had already shown signs of surrender, his wife quickly said, "Why is it useless? We can let the second son leave the Red Army and go home... Our family now has dozens of acres of land, and even if we go home and farm, it is better than being a Red Army. Besides, the National Defense Forces are not only recruiting new recruits once. When they recruit new recruits next time, our second son can sign up..."
"This... isn't this to let the second son be a deserter... You know. If you are a deserter in the army, you will be shot. Don't let the second son die..." Wang Yougen, who was shocked, quickly spoke up.
After hearing the word "desergeant", his wife was reluctant and continued to complain with dissatisfaction: "What deserter, what are you talking nonsense about at the head of the family... Who makes the Red Army's welfare not as good as the National Defense Force? Since we can join the Red Army, we can withdraw from the Red Army..."
Speaking of this, the wife, who had decided to make her son go home to death, lit her eyes and encouraged Wang Yougen: "When the second brother joined the army, did not say that when the second brother joined the army, could their army go home to visit their parents after joining the Red Army... Since the Red Army has this rule, let's have someone bring a message to the second brother, telling him that I was seriously ill and would die, and let him come back to see him for the last time."
"At that time, as long as our second son returns to Shanxi, the Red Party Red Army, which does not even have a plane, will no longer do anything to us. At that time, our second son will farm when he wants to farm, and if he wants to join the army, he will join the army..."
Hearing this, Wang Yougen was also moved.
Five days later, the second son of the Wang family, who was training at a Red Army garrison in Shaanxi, was handed over to the battalion headquarters by the battalion commander. After a thoughtful education by the battalion instructor, he returned to his home that had changed drastically with anxiety.
Seeing the mother standing in front of me, the second child asked in confusion: "Mom... Didn't you write to say that you can't afford to stay in bed? Is it already ready..."
After Wang Yougen slapped the obviously stronger dick, he cursed angrily: "What nonsense? Your mother is okay... If you don't say that your mother is bedridden, will your superiors let you come back? Come into the house with me, I have something to say to you..."
"As for the child's fuck, you prepare the meal immediately, kill an old hen and stew it, and replenish it for the second child..."
Seeing that the mother who was smiling in front of me did not object to killing the chicken, she walked directly to the location of the chicken coop.
The second brother quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, what are you doing... The old hens in the family can use the next eggs to exchange for the rice, oil and salt in the family. If you kill them, what should we do if the rice, oil and salt in the family are going to do? Although the Red Army distributed land for us when we left and left a lot of food, our family is not as luxurious as to kill the old hens..."
He glared fiercely at the second son who was harmed by the Red Army and had been deeply poisoned.
Wang Yougen shouted: "Bad, just the little food the Red Army sent us is not enough for a week... Don't mention the Red Army to me, I'll be angry when I mention the Red Army."
Hearing this, the second brother stopped doing it and retorted loudly: "Dad, how do you speak, how can you say bad things about the Red Army? If it weren't for the Red Army, how could our family be divided into places? If it weren't for the Red Army, how could my son become an excellent Red Army soldier..."
After glaring at the dick in front of him again, Wang Yougen became completely angry, and was so angry that his dick was.
He shouted to the second son: "You have no conscience, you are still unaware of who our benefactor is... Yes, the Red Army distributed the land for us, but without the land deeds issued by the government, these fields will sooner or later return to the landlord Lao Cai."
"But since the National Defense Force came, we no longer have to worry about the land in our hands being taken back by the landlord Laocai. Because the National Defense Force not only sent us the land deeds recognized by the government, but also distributed several acres of land to each of us."
"What's more important is that the grain planted in our fields this year, the agricultural tools used for growing grain, and even the oxen were provided to us for free by the National Defense Forces. If there was no free ration provided by the National Defense Forces to us continuously, with the dozens of kilograms of grain left by the Red Army, our family would have long eaten bran and drank thin..."
