In fact, as early as the moment he received the appointment, Zhong Yi was already thinking about this issue.

Zhong Yi has studied the historical materials of the Anti-Japanese War, so he is no stranger to the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment!

Zhejiang Province has been rich since ancient times, and there are many squires and wealthy businessmen, and in modern times, there is such a favorite thing as the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium.

The so-called Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium does not refer to one or two people, but a large group of businessmen, compradors, and business owners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

The squires and wealthy merchants had money, and the national government did not prohibit civilian armed forces, so it was natural that they would pay their own money to organize self-defense forces to protect their own families.

The civil armed forces in the north are mainly armed by gangs, but the civil armed forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are mainly the self-defense armed forces of landlords and gentry.

Together, there are more than 150,000 civil self-defense forces in Zhejiang Province! In terms of the number of troops alone, it is even more than Xue Yue's first corps!

It is precisely because of this that Principal Chang will send Yu Liangzhen to take over this armed force.

Otherwise, if Huang Shaohong is given a few more years to operate, he may really be able to come up with a new Gui system.

In fact, Huang Shaohong has only completed the initial integration of the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps, and to put it bluntly, he has just completed the registration of all armed personnel in all counties, and he is still far from being unified into an army of the true meaning.

So in the Battle of Ningshao, which broke out not long after, this force was like sand in the wind, and it dispersed as soon as it blew.

At that moment, Zhong Yi asked rhetorically: "Commander-in-chief, before answering your question, I have to know what kind of armed force you want to build the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment into in the end?" ”

"I think?" Yu Liangzhen laughed at himself, "If it is completely according to what I think in my heart, of course, I hope to build the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment into an elite force that can be compared with the 74th Army!" ”

After a pause, he added, "The problem is, it's an impossible task. ”

Zhong Yi said: "But that doesn't prevent us from working towards this goal, does it?" ”

"That's right." Yu Liangzhen nodded and said, "Those who are above the law have it, and those who are in the middle of the law have to be below, and it is not wrong to set the ultimate goal as high as possible." ”

Zhong Yi said: "Then we will set this as the ultimate goal!" ”

"Accurate!" Yu Liangzhen said excitedly, "Ziren, just say it, how long will it take to achieve this goal?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "I estimate that it will take at least three years to build the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps into another 74th Army!" ”

"Three years?" Yu Liangzhen was stunned when he heard this.

At this moment, Yu Liangzhen couldn't help but slander in his heart, you guy, will you die if you don't brag?

It took three years to be able to build a group of landlords into another 74th Army, why don't you go to heaven?

Lao Tzu's 74th Army has spent a lot of money and grain to pile up, and the combat effectiveness is not just a matter of people, you must have enough financial resources to purchase enough weapons and equipment!

If the combat effectiveness of the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment is really on par with that of the 74th Army, how much weapons and equipment will it need? Lao Tzu is not enough to occupy all the funds of the command!

Inexplicably, Yu Liangzhen began to be a little worried.

Zhong Yi is a good hand at fighting, but is it reliable to handle military and political affairs?

However, Yu Liangzhen quickly suppressed this thought, and asked Zhong Yi again: "Ziren, can you tell me about the specific plan?" ”

"Of course." Zhong Yi pretended not to see Yu Liangzhen's abnormality, and continued, "To do a good job in the transformation of the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment, we must not take too big steps at the beginning, and we must carry it out in stages. ”

Yu Liangzhen bowed his head silently, thinking that you are still saved, but he still knows that he can't take too big a step at the beginning.

Zhong Yi continued: "The commander-in-chief is also very clear that the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps and the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps are nominally a unified armed force, but in fact they are composed of large and small landlord armed forces, and each landlord armed force has independent personnel rights and command rights. ”

Yu Liangzhen nodded and said, "So what?" ”

"Therefore, these landlords and squires will definitely try their best to obstruct our integration work, and they will never obediently hand over the personnel and command rights to us." Zhong Yi said, "So in order to reduce resistance, but also to reduce financial pressure, we can start a pilot." ”

"Pilot?" Yu Liangzhen's heart moved when he heard this.

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "It is recommended to take the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps as a pilot first. ”

Yu Liangzhen had fully entered Zhong Yi's rhythm and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"There are two reasons for this." Zhong Yi said, "First of all, compared with the rest of the other anti-enemy self-defense regiments, the foundation of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps is the best, and the starting point is higher; Secondly, the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps happens to be in the jurisdiction of Yinjiang, and the lowly post happens to be the mayor of Yinjiang, so it can give financial support, and it is relatively easy to produce results. ”

After a slight pause, he said: "If we first transform the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps, so that the squires and landlords of the whole province can see that the combat effectiveness of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps has indeed improved, and at the same time we do not deprive the landlords and squires of their ownership of the armed forces, then the landlords and squires in the rest of the country will no longer obstruct us." ”

Yu Liangzhen was surprised: "Ziren, let you decompose it like this, this matter doesn't seem to be as difficult as you imagined." ”

"That's how things are in the world." Zhong Yi said, "Before you start it, you will always feel that it is very difficult, but when you really get started and find the right way, you will find that it is actually easier than you imagined." ”

Yu Liangzhen nodded and shook his head, and said, "That's you, don't think so if someone else changes." ”

After some exchanges just now, Yu Liangzhen's confidence in Zhong Yi immediately recovered.

After a pause, Yu Liangzhen said again: "Before leaving, the principal specially called me to Yunxiu Lou to teach me the opportunity, let me delegate power, and hand over the work of the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps and the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps to Ziren, I am responsible for supporting you, if anyone dares to discooperate with our work, you see how I clean him up." ”

After another pause, he said: "So, Ziren, after you arrive in Yinjiang, just let it go, don't have too many scruples, and if you encounter something that you can't open your eyes or something that is uneven, just look for me!" If I was in other provinces, I wouldn't dare to say big things, but in Zhejiang Province, I'm afraid there are really few people who dare not give me Yu Liangzhen's face! ”

Zhong Yi said: "With the words of the commander-in-chief, I am more confident in my humble position." ”

Yu Liangzhen snorted lightly, and said: "Oh yes, I heard that you secretly abducted the special operations team of the first division of honor, why didn't you see the members of the special operations team just now?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "They have already left for Yinjiang, and it is estimated that they will all enter Jiangxi." ”

"Beautiful!" Yu Liangzhen laughed when he heard this, "Luo Zhengying must be so angry that his nose is crooked, right?" ”

Zhong Yi just smiled when he heard this, and Commander-in-Chief Luo didn't mention it for half a sentence, this is the pattern.
