Chapter 555 Arrangements before departure
Wang Mingyu is not very interested in upgrading. To be honest, although he was eager to be a general in his previous life, he has now met his requirements. Now he is not only a lieutenant general but a commander-in-chief of an army group, holding 60,000 troops, but also attacking the Japanese army. How happy now he no longer needs to use any future embellishment.
Moreover, Wang Mingyu also has a deep consideration. Although he is also the commander-in-chief of the group army, the commander-in-chief of the 18th Army is a general, and Wang Mingyu is a lieutenant general is still OK. If Wang Mingyu goes there, he can at least be the deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th Army or something else. But now if he is promoted to general, it will be difficult to resettle.
Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be praised too high, at least Wang Mingyu is like this now. Although he is very glorious on the surface, in fact, Chairman Jiang also has a hidden murderous intent. The higher the level, the smaller the possibility of him joining you. Of course, the Chairman and Mr. Zhu don’t care, but his placement problem will be really a problem in the future.
Speaking of which, Vice Chairman Zhou, who Wang Mingyu admires the most, is now just a lieutenant general. Now Vice Chairman Zhou is still very strong in the battle sequence. He is the deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Commission. He did not expect that he has passed Vice Chairman Zhou and has become a second-level general of the Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
However, no matter how worried it is, Wang Mingyu still has to attend such a ceremony. At least a few years will be left before the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan. During this period, Wang Mingyu must stay in the national government. Then he must obey Chairman Jiang's arrangements. Otherwise, if Chairman Jiang is unhappy, many things will be inconvenient to do.
It's such a headache. Although Wang Mingyu smiled, he was still thinking in his heart how to solve the current dilemma. Now he feels like he is difficult to get on the tiger.
Currently, the 318th Army is resting in the Dabie Mountains area. Wang Mingyu has developed a series of routes in the past two days. Now their goal is to move closer to China's southwest border and not have a head-on conflict with the Japanese army in a short period of time. In this way, the 318th Army can quickly recruit soldiers and horses in a short period of time to adjust. Maybe the next time I see them, it will be another scene.
Wang Mingyu thought that if he was waiting for him to come back from the United States, perhaps he would have another magnificent army under his command. Wang Mingyu went to the United States this time to buy strategic weapons. He said that going to see his old father was just a reason to give Chairman Jiang. Aircraft tanks could not be bought in China, so he could only go to the United States or Germany and other countries to buy them.
However, Germany is not calm now. World War II is about to break out, and the atmosphere in Europe is extremely tense and solemn. At this time, large-scale purchase of arms will obviously attract the attention of some people. However, the Japanese army's plan to cut off the Yunnan-Burma Highway has not been implemented yet, so Wang Mingyu still has the opportunity to transport these things into the country.
The Japanese army is very powerful. Even Wang Mingyu knows that there is almost no possibility of competing with the Japanese army at sea in a short period of time. Now, only by avoiding the Japanese army's blockade, the tanks are transported in. It's easy to transport them. Tanks are too difficult. However, these issues will be considered before they can be transported in.
These are the main purposes of the trip to the United States. In addition, they have to equip a direct team of about 2,000 people. These equipment cannot be equipped with rifles. The entire equipment of 2,000 people will cost Wang Mingyu a lot of money. Of course, Wang Mingyu doesn't care about these. His ultimate goal is just to bring a fundamental change to China's war of resistance through these things.
The Japanese army would definitely want to block China's transportation lines. At this time, Wang Mingyu was in the southwest and could at least share some of the pressure on China. These were also what Wang Mingyu knew about history in advance and knew that it should be like this. Otherwise, even gods would not guess that the Japanese army's next plan was to block the Yunnan-Burma Highway and control the entire China's transportation lines.
Wang Mingyu just has a rough plan for these things. Now the main task is to go to Chongqing first. Wang Mingyuxun called Wu Peilin and others to come to the meeting. Many things must be solved in a very short time. Otherwise, Wang Mingyu may not appear in the 318th Army for a long time.
In the conference room, Zhang Deen, Qian Liye, Wu Peilin, Yao Ziqing and others sat down one after another Wang Mingyu looked at the people and said with a smile: I will go to Chongqing in two days. After I go to Chongqing this time, I may not return to the army and go directly to the United States. This time I go to Chongqing. I believe everyone knows what happened. There are many lists this time, but Zhang Deen and Li Shi are not listed here.
Wang Mingyu paused for a moment and continued: Of course, as representatives, I can go there as a division commander Wu Peilin and Yao Ziqing. This time I will be promoted to general Peilin and Ziqing and promoted to lieutenant general. Of course, some other people who were promoted to major general will stay in the army. At that time, Chairman Jiang will naturally send the letter of appointment and military rank here.
Zhang Deen said: If the chief officer goes directly to the United States, then will we proceed according to our prior route? After we arrived in Yunnan, our troops chose to station in such a faraway border areas and it is difficult to transport supplies and equipment. I have been thinking about this for a long time, but we can find ways to overcome these problems. However, many of our soldiers are northerners and are not used to it.
Wang Mingyu said: If you don’t adapt, you have to find a way to adapt. It’s not to make the war adapt to us, but to make us adapt to the war. After the trip to Chongqing, Peilin Sisi and I went to the United States together. This trip is easy, but it’s difficult to do. But I hope that after I come back, I can see a 318th Army. I don’t know if you can do it.
Several people stood up and said, "President, please don't worry, we will complete the tasks assigned to us by the board, and we will definitely live up to the board's expectations. These people are all brought by Wang Mingyu. How can Wang Mingyu not know it clearly, but these questions are necessary. Wang Mingyu is actually very relieved to be managing the 318th Army.
Wang Mingyu continued: After I left, Zhang Deen will temporarily act as commander-in-chief of the 318th Army. After my trip to Chongqing, I will apply to let Brother Zhang Deen be the deputy commander-in-chief of the 318th Army and the commander of the First Army. In addition, I also considered it yesterday. Sixty thousand people are still too few for us. Li Xianyu doesn’t know what happened because he has not had time for this period of time.
Gaoshan Road: Chief, the situation there is a summary regularly. Currently, under the leadership of Li Xianyu, the Yimeng Anti-Japanese Base Area has gradually recovered its vitality. The report said that they have recently recruited a group of people, with a number of about 2,000 people, which means that their current combat power is about 3,000 people, but it is estimated that when the chief executive returns, it will almost exceed 10,000.
Wang Mingyu nodded and said: If they can develop, they will develop. They won’t be able to use them for a while. They still have to rely on themselves for everything. Although the 318 Army has only more than 60,000 personnel, the organization is not a reason to limit us. My expected goal is 100,000. If there are more, you will consider the issue of military expenditure. The government will bear part of it, and I will do it.
Wu Peilin said: Chief, this is not a small amount. A hundred thousand people only need at least about five million yuan a year to pay the military salary. Add to the consumption of various materials and equipment. That is an amazing number.
Yes, Chief Executive Officer, if this happens, it may be possible that the annual military expenditure will exceed 30 million. Moreover, Chief Executive Officer now has to buy a lot of equipment, which all require money. Yao Ziqing, who was standing beside him, also exclaimed in a low voice, this is not a small amount, when there was only 10,000 or 20,000 people at that time, there was no such concept at that time. Now their concept of money is getting stronger and stronger.
Wang Mingyu smiled and said: Isn’t it just to fight the Japanese? Now we are not short of money. Penicillin is the best-selling and cannot support these 100,000 people. This was a joke at that time. Aircraft and tanks are generally bartered, and they are exchanged for penicillin, Germany or the United States and other countries. There is no need to worry about these things.
Although Wang Mingyu is easy to say, he also knows in his heart that these strategic materials are probably not that easy to work with, especially Germany. Although the tanks are very good, others don’t know it. Wang Mingyu knows that in half a year, Germany will launch World War II. Germany’s current equipment is very short of
However, penicillin has a very powerful effect. Wang Mingyu is confident that he can also exchange a lot of materials and equipment. Otherwise, he has the right to refuse to trade with Germany or other countries. At that time, he is not the Axis power formed by their Germany, Japan and Italy, and is also a fascist country. However, Wang Mingyu has no hatred for Germany.
Unlike Japan's shameless nation, the Germans are one of the countries that Wang Mingyu admires very much. Although they were once fascist countries, they did not deny history and dared to admit that they could apologize for their actions. Japan tampers with education and misleads with the people of its own country in later generations. Such behavior is undoubtedly shameless.
Until now, the Japanese army's penicillin is still bought on the black market at a high price. Part of their military expenditure is consumed on this. So Wang Mingyu's contribution to the entire war of resistance is not only how many Japanese troops he killed, but also many invisible factors mixed in it, but many people don't know it.
Wang Mingyu said again: When you go to Yunnan, you must not only understand the terrain of Yunnan, but also understand the terrain of Myanmar. Let’s be familiar with the terrain of the entire Yunnan and Myanmar. We either don’t do it. If you want to do it, you must eliminate all the threats around us. However, Myanmar is a British colony. It is better to hire a translator at that time, so don’t conflict with them.
Chief, I heard that the place in Yunnan is full of woods, and it is so poor that it is difficult to solve the supplies there. Wang Mingchuandao This problem is exactly what I want to say. In the past, you not only had to build your own camp, but also find open spaces to expand the airport tank camp. The diversified camps are planned for the future. In addition, you can organize local residents to raise pigs and other things there, and try to solve some of them yourself. In addition, when purchasing part from other places, Wang Mingyudao paused. Wang Mingyu continued: Most people were born in farms. I don’t think people need to teach these things. In the past, we didn’t have time. Now it’s time to cultivate some habits among soldiers. In addition, the relationship with local residents must be handled well. No matter what disturbs the people, some poor locals can find ways to help them know.
But how to help them Zhang Deen scratched his head and said, Wang Mingchuan beside him: Haha, Lao Zhang, I am doing this, aren’t we going to expand the camp? Although our staff is large enough, we can still hire some civilians and other things, and solve some of their problems by the way. Let’s pay for it.
Well, although the food and meat are in short supply now, they must be supplied to the trained soldiers at least one meal of meat every three days. This is our old rule. It is also your problem. It is also your problem. It is urgent to establish a stable mechanism in the local area. You must hire a few people who know the knowledge.
Wang Mingyu talked about it here, and his ideas gradually began to gather together, forming a relatively complete set of ideas. One hundred thousand army stationed in the southwest border. Naturally, this hundred thousand army cannot rely on buying food, clothing, housing and transportation. What can be solved by yourself is naturally solved by yourself. It is best to solve what cannot be solved nearby. The relationship with the local area must be in place.
Being a soldier is not to bully the people, but to protect them. Since they are capable now, they naturally have to help the poor people in the local area. As for landlords or something, as long as the officials and businessmen collude and act recklessly, Wang Mingyu's meaning is not to be taken seriously, and he cannot be beaten to death with one stick, otherwise he will be really biased.
Wang Mingyu and everyone had been chatting for nearly two hours. Many of the problems were deployed around going to the southwest area and were all problems that must be solved. Wang Mingyu naturally had to explain that he would leave Dabie Mountain and return to Chongqing in two days. What Wang Mingyu had to do now is wait.
Of course, everything must be arranged. Nie Sisi also started packing her bags and preparing to go to Chongqing under Wang Mingyu's instructions. This time Nie Sisi went to the United States and would not come back for the time being.
