Chapter 62: The Source of Recruits
Poaching corners
Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Li Guosheng was happy and did not forget to remind everyone.
"Brothers, I believe everyone has seen the appointment just now. I only appointed battalion commanders and several direct company commanders. As for other first-level officers in the company and platoon, I keep them. Of course, this does not mean that I do not attach importance to these platoon leaders, but rather attach great importance to them. After all, as long as I am an excellent commander, I will know that the strength of the two-level officers in the company will directly affect the final combat effectiveness of a unit."
"There is only one reason why we don't make appointments now, that is, we don't have so many platoon leaders in our hands. Everyone knows that many platoon leaders in the army are promoted directly from the original soldiers. If they continue to be promoted, it is tantamount to boosting growth, and it will only harm their growth without any example."
"So, I hope that after the meeting, I will carefully screen out my officers to see if there are any candidates to serve as company commanders, or even continue to stay in the position of platoon leader. If so, report directly to the regiment headquarters and the regiment headquarters will conduct a final inspection. As for the remaining vacancies, I will find a way for you..."
Because several of them are pure soldiers and have almost no selfish intentions, they also understand the importance of whether this approach is good for combat effectiveness. They directly agree with Li Guosheng's proposal.
Just as everyone's speeches ended, Li Guanghua, who had been in a state of confusion throughout the meeting, asked directly.
"Regiment, you just said that according to the organization of my ** regiment, if you want to reach the full status, there are more than ten officers in the first-level company commander and deputy company commander, and there are more than ten officers missing. In addition, there are three times the platoon-level officers as high as the company commander, three times the platoon-level officers, and more than two thousand ordinary soldiers. With so many vacancies, how can you get supplemented in a short period of time?"
Deputy Head and Chief of Staff Li Guanghua asked questions that everyone in the conference room wanted to ask but did not dare to ask. Just as the question was finished, the eyes of several people gathered on him.
"I knew that Chief of Staff, you can't help asking this question..." Li Guosheng smiled indifferently. Then, he said to everyone with a confident look on his face.
"Brothers, please rest assured. I promise to fill the vacancies for everyone within one week. And I also promise everyone that the new recruits sent to everyone are veterans who have been trained and even went to the battlefield..."
"How is it possible..... The regiment seats have been reorganized. The tens of thousands of prisoners on the Longtan battlefield have been digested by the various troops. It is absolutely impossible for there to be any veterans?" Li Guanghua said with a positive look.
Li Guosheng nodded without objection, nor did he agree, but just looked at everyone with a smile. At this moment, Captain Zhou Xingguo, who suddenly came into contact with Li Guosheng's gaze, seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes, which were still puzzled just now, immediately lit up.
Seeing this, Li Guosheng directly called out: "Battleman Zhou, tell me..."
Zhou Xingguo stood up directly from his seat and said with a weird smile: "Chief of Staff, brothers, don't just think outside. Don't forget that there are still a group of veterans in our own hands..."
"It should be clear that among the more than 1,000 prisoners who suppressed the bandits this time, at least two-thirds of the people were veterans from Beiyang... As long as we choose carefully and select 500 elite soldiers from them, there is still no problem..."
After saying that, Zhou Xingguo sat down as everyone suddenly realized. However, Chief of Staff Li Guanghua's frown did not relax at all, and continued to ask back.
"Even so, we are still missing a vacancies of nearly 1,800 people. What's more important is where we recruited those dozens of company-level officers..."
"The mountain man has his own trick..."
A cunning gaze flashed quickly on the face of the group leader Li Guosheng. He directly expressed his thoughts.
"There are four sources of soldiers and officers..."
"The first source is our First Division headquarters. In the Longtan Battle, my First Division captured nearly 10,000 Beiyang elites. With the original strength of our First Division, it is impossible to eat it at once. If nothing unexpected happens, the division commander must have a certain number of prisoners of war. Let's ask for help, and not to mention anything else, there is absolutely no problem with 500 to 1,000 prisoners."
"The second is the source, that is, the source of the officers... If the information I learned is not a problem, among the fourth and fifth period students in Huangpu, many people were directly assigned to the army of Commander Li Zongren. However, in order to ensure the so-called loyalty of the troops, the students assigned to them by the headquarters were basically treated coldly by them. Since so many excellent military academy graduates dare not use them, we will find a way to get them over and use them ourselves..."
"The third source is the General Hospital of the Northern Expedition Army in Nanjing City... Two months have passed, and many injured veterans should be discharged. These veterans are basically some veterans who have been through the battlefield. As long as they are given weapons, they can directly participate in the battle, and even serve as platoon leaders of the grassroots squad without training. If we can recruit them into the army with generous conditions, this will be a valuable asset to our ** regiment."
"The fourth source is our friendly troops... I wonder if you have heard of any commander in the Northern Expedition Army having an experience of empty salary... With the addition of a large number of Beiyang prisoners of war, almost all divisions have reached a full state. Those officers who want to get empty salary will definitely think that their troops have too many troops. If we can use the ocean to exchange troops, do you think these officers who want to get empty salary will agree?"
After talking about the four sources of Li Guosheng, several people had already fallen into a petrochemical state. He did not expect that the leader Li Guosheng in front of him would be so cunning that he would directly dig out other people's corners, and even use the ocean to buy soldiers...
However, after carefully considering the feasibility of the four methods, they had to admit that if these four methods are used well, they can add a large number of veterans to the ** regiment in a short period of time, so that the ** regiment can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible...
"I did it, I didn't steal or rob. Even if my superiors know, I can't do anything to us. Who makes our team rich..." After a brief thought, he looked at the smile on Li Guosheng's face. Chief of Staff Li Guanghua answered directly.
