Chapter 790: Three Birds with One Stone
Jiro Imai actually thinks too much, or thinks too much of himself.
Zhong Yi's threat to find out the Japanese secret service team lurking in Yinjiang City was just a cover, and his real intention was never the small Japanese secret service team.
Zhong Yi's true intentions are threefold.
First, with the help of martial law in the whole city, he challenged the status of foreigners in Jiangbei, so as to establish his prestige!
It is discouraging to say that since the Opium War, foreigners have enjoyed super-national treatment in China, and by the time of the Republic of China, this phenomenon had not disappeared, but became more serious.
Even Principal Chang bowed to the foreigners.
As a Chinese leader, he actually believes in Christian filial piety.
However, this does not mean that the Chinese are really willing to bow low and be small, in fact, the vast majority of Chinese still want to be able to trample foreigners under their feet, if not under their feet, at least on an equal footing.
Therefore, challenging the authority of foreigners is the most effective way to build personal prestige.
Of course, there must be a premise for this, and this premise is that you have to be able to hold on to it in the end!
Zhong Yi is not worried about this at all, because he always believes in the first sentence, all imperialism is a paper tiger, as long as it is calmly analyzed and objectively judged, imperialism is not invincible! After all, imperialism is now also the weaker side in China, and there is a willingness to cooperate with China.
In short, Zhong Yi's first intention was to brush up on his prestige!
Zhong Yi's second intention was to take this opportunity to uproot the underworld forces in Yinjiang City!
Yes, that's right, Zhong Yi's target is not the Japanese, but the underworld forces in Yinjiang City!
For Zhong Yi, who was born under the red flag and grew up in the new century, his tolerance for underworld forces is zero! In his view, organizations such as gangs and daomen will only undermine the political, economic, and financial order of the entire society, without the slightest benefit, so they must be resolutely eradicated.
Zhong Yi's third intention is to reorganize and completely control the barely usable armed force of the Yinjiang Garrison Division with the help of the ploughing and cave sweeping operation to eradicate the underworld forces!
Because Zhong Yi also believes in another wise saying-power comes out of the barrel of a gun!
If Zhong Yi wants to sit firmly in the position of mayor of Yinjiang, if he wants Yinjiang to make some achievements, he must have a strong enough armed force in his hands!
Before the Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps was built into an army, the Yinjiang Garrison Division was the only choice!
Therefore, this time the martial law in the whole city is not simple, and there are three birds with one stone hidden in Zhong Yi!
However, it is not easy to kill three birds with one stone, because first of all, it is not easy to complete the reorganization of the Yinjiang Garrison Division.
At present, the entire high-level of the Yinjiang Garrison Division has been put to an end, not to mention the three garrison regiments stationed in Chaiqiao, Zhenhai and Cicheng, and the special service battalion stationed in the city has also lost its battalion commander, and has fallen into a situation where the dragons are leaderless! At this time, a bad handling may lead to a mutiny!
If it really leads to a mutiny, and the rebellious soldiers of the garrison division kill people and set fire everywhere in Yinjiang City, Zhong Yi is likely to become the mayor with the shortest term in the history of the Republic of China.
Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to stabilize the special service battalion first.
If you want to stabilize the special service battalion, you can't do without two key people.
These two key figures are Li Ziren and Zhen Yongmeng.
Therefore, after sending Hu Baozhen and the others away, Zhong Yi called Li Ziren and Zhen Yongmeng to him.
Zhong Yi didn't come to the fore, and said straight to the point: "Adjutant Li, Company Commander Zhen, and the high-level leaders of the Yinjiang Garrison Division were all poisoned by the Little Japanese Secret Service, and the entire garrison division is already leaderless, what do you say?" ”
Li Ziren's heart was pounding, because the hints in Zhong Yi's words were too obvious!
Is this to support him as the commander of the Yinjiang Garrison Division? Happiness came so suddenly!
Zhen Yongmeng, but Company Commander Zhen didn't hear the sound, frowned and said, "How do I know this." ”
Zhong Yi put his hand on his forehead, and it seemed that he had to be more straightforward about such a stunned person.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "Company Commander Zhen, I am ready to appoint you as the lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the special service battalion directly under the Yinjiang Garrison Division, can you bear this burden?" ”
"Huh?" Zhen Yong was stunned and said, "You want me to be the battalion commander?" ”
"You don't have to worry about the formalities." Zhong Yi said, "The local military and government are integrated, if Division Commander Chen is still here, it will naturally not work, but now that Division Commander Chen has unfortunately been killed, then according to the practice of the party-state, I, the mayor, am the natural commander of the Yinjiang Garrison Division, so I am fully qualified to issue such an appointment!" ”
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Company Commander Zhen, can you do it?" ”
Although Zhen Yongmeng was a little confused, he still had the desire to be promoted.
At that moment, Zhen Yongmeng stood up and said: "Thank you for your humble position!" ”
"Good!" Zhong Yi nodded happily, and said, "Then you go back to take over the special service battalion now, and you must reorganize the troops in the shortest possible time, once there is an order, you must be dispatched as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes!" Zhen Yongmeng replied loudly, "I promise to complete the task!" ”
After speaking, Zhen Yongmeng Zhen Company Commander, oh no, it should be Camp Commander Zhen now, after Camp Commander Zhen finished speaking, he turned around on the spot and rushed back to the division headquarters with a guard Ban Xing.
Seeing Zhen Yong's fierce figure go away, Zhong Yi set his eyes on Li Ziren again.
Here it comes! Li Ziren said secretly in his heart, and subconsciously stood upright.
Zhong Yi glanced at Li Ziren deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Adjutant Li, if you simply boil up your qualifications, with the starting point of the 12th Infantry Section of your Central Military Academy, how long will it take to become a battalion commander?" ”
Li Ziren said without thinking: "The cadets of the Central Military Academy are second lieutenant probationary platoon commanders when they go to the army, and as long as there are no major mistakes during their tenure, they will be automatically promoted to lieutenant platoon commander after three months." ”
"Then, if it is a peacetime period, you will be promoted every three years, and after three years, you can be promoted to captain and company commander, after six years, you can be promoted to major battalion deputy, and after nine years, you can be promoted to lieutenant colonel and battalion commander! However, during the war years, this example was not necessarily followed, and if there was meritorious service and award during the war, you could be promoted exceptionally! ”
"But going from captain to major is an insurmountable chasm."
"Without major feats, it's hard to leapfrog in a short period of time."
"So, it takes at least three years to graduate from a military academy to a lieutenant colonel battalion commander!"
"But I can make you go straight to division commander in three months!" Zhong Yishi said in a shocking way.
"Division Commander?!" Rao is Li Ziren has been mentally prepared, but when this big cake really falls from the sky, it still makes him inevitably a little dizzy.
Just when Li Ziren was dizzy, Zhong Yi's tone changed and continued: "But there must be a premise for this, that is, you have to prove to me that you have this ability!" ”
"How do you prove it?" Li Ziren said urgently.
