"Ziren!" Yu Liangzhen's brows furrowed, "This is different from what you said at the beginning." β
In Changsha, Zhong Yi drew a big cake for Yu Liangzhen and proposed a two-step plan, first spending about a year to build the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps into a model force, and then using this model force as a template to transform the troops of the counties under the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment, and finally build it into a warlike division.
But now, Zhong Yi suddenly changed his mind again, saying that he didn't want the civilian armed forces in Yinjiang anymore, but wanted to directly recruit troops and build the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps into a regular army!
It is of course excellent to be able to directly build the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps into a regular army, and Yu Liangzhen also welcomes it with both hands, but building a regular army is not just a matter of talking, but requires a huge amount of real money! Anyway, he, Yu Liangzhen, will never be able to take out this money, and Zhong Yi may not be able to take it out.
Zhong Yi said: "Commander-in-chief, that's because I didn't know much about the civilian self-defense forces in Zhejiang Province, especially Yinjiang, so I thought so, but now, I have had all-round contact with the four most typical civilian self-defense forces in Yinjiang. β
Yu Liangzhen said: "You mean, these civilian self-defense forces are useless? β
"It's useless to say that it's useless, it's to lift them up." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Let's talk about the personnel first, the old are old, the young are small, and the number of young and middle-aged people is very small; Speaking of equipment, there are very few modern rifles like Hanyang-made, and the number of old sleeves is not much, most of them are shotguns, and there are even a considerable number of broadsword spears. β
Xuan Tiewu said: "Isn't that the civilian armed forces, do you still expect them to be equipped with rifles of all colors?" β
Zhong Yi said: "But with such weapons and equipment, it is impossible to fight a tough battle with devils, so we have to spend a lot of money to buy weapons and equipment to arm them!" It probably won't cost less than regrouping into a regular army. β
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "This is not the worst, the worst thing is that these civil self-defense forces are firmly in the hands of the patriarchs of all ethnic groups, the mayors of towns and towns, and even the squires, and these squire patriarchs have a very weak sense of national nationality, they only want to defend the township, but they never think about defending the country." β
Yu Liangzhen said: "Then what do you mean by trying it just now?" β
Zhong Yi said: "The try I just said is to bypass those squire patriarchs, go directly to the villages to recruit militia, and then set up militia squads in each town or township, and each county to form a militia brigade, and finally gather the county brigades in each county, which is the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps." β
Zhong Yi's move is to emulate the practice of our party's base areas behind enemy lines.
But to be honest, without the backing of a strict party organization and strong organizational mobilization ability, this move would be difficult to do, so Zhong Yi only said that he would try, because he knew that it was basically impossible to do it.
Yu Liangzhen shook his head again and again when he heard this: "This method will definitely not work." β
"Then there's no other way." Zhong Yi said, "Commander-in-chief, let's directly train the regular army." β
"Why don't I want to train a regular army." Yu Liangzhen smiled bitterly, "The question is, where does the money come from?" β
Zhong Yi said: "There are always more ways than difficulties, as long as the goal is determined, there is always a way to solve it." β
Yu Liangzhen's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "Ziren, to be honest, how much floating wealth did you get from this cleaning operation?" β
"Not much." Zhong Yi replied, "Counting the properties that have not been disposed of, a total of about two million fiat currency." β
"Two million fiat! It's quite a bit. Yu Liangzhen muttered, "But if you want to build a division-level establishment, the equipment cost alone is far from enough, let alone the military salary." β
If a few years ago, the equipment cost of a division of the Central Army was almost 2 million legal currency, and the military salary was almost 400,000 legal currency per month, but now, with the rapid depreciation of legal currency, the equipment cost of a division has risen to more than 5 million, and the military salary has not risen, but it is also nearly 5 million legal currency a year.
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "If you can't train a division at once, then let's train a regiment first." β
After a slight pause, Zhong Yi said again: "At this stage, we must first do a good job in the downsized Yinjiang Garrison Regiment, and when the funds are in place in the future, we will use the Yinjiang Garrison Regiment as the backbone and expand it into the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps." β
"That's a good idea." After Yu Liangzhen finished speaking, he said to Xuan Tiewu again, "Tiewu, just listen to Ziren, let's reduce the Yinjiang Garrison Division to the Yinjiang Garrison Regiment, there are only more than 2,000 people left, what's the point of keeping the number of a division?" There is no need to send someone over, just let Ziren concurrently serve as the head of the Yinjiang Garrison Regiment. β
Xuan Tiewu smiled bitterly: "Commander-in-chief, you have said so, what else do I have to say." β
"Then it's settled." Yu Liangzhen slapped his thigh and said to Zhong Yi, "Ziren, the Yinjiang Garrison Regiment will be handed over to you, but you also know what kind of situation I am in now, so don't count on me for funds and grassroots officers or anything, you can find a way to solve it yourself, and I will give you full authority!" β
Zhong Yixin said, what Lao Tzu is waiting for is your sentence.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "The commander-in-chief can rest assured that the task will be completed." β
Even if the business was finished at this point, Yu Liangzhen said with a smile: "Ziren, I heard that you are still alone?" Do you want me to introduce you to a girl, brother? β
"I don't need to use this." Zhong Yi politely refused, "I already have a fiancΓ©e." β
On the surface, Zhong Yi is quiet, but he has already become vigilant in his heart.
Zhong Yi knows very well that Yu Liangzhen will never bring up this stubble for no reason, if he is not mistaken, this matter should be instructed by President Chang, and Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, must also be involved, in other words, the girl Yu Liangzhen wants to introduce to him is most likely the eyeliner of the Military Command Bureau, who specializes in monitoring him.
This was a routine practice in the Kuomintang's military and political circles.
", can I not know you have a fiancΓ©e." Yu Liangzhen said, "But, isn't your fiancΓ©e not around?" You're not good for your physical and mental health, you know? You have to have a woman to take care of your life, and only when you settle down your personal life can you devote yourself to your work, you know? β
"Commander-in-Chief, I really don't need it." Zhong Yi refused, "My father-in-law has sent a telegram that he is about to bring my fiancΓ©e to Yinjiang, and I am about to get married to Man Yi." β
"That's right." Yu Liangzhen didn't insist too much, nodded and said, "Then forget it." β
After a pause, Yu Liangzhen said earnestly: "Ziren, the affairs of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps are all entrusted to you." β
