Chapter 186: Calculation
Before Zhu Muyun left the Guchang Gendarmerie, he made a special call to Li Bangfan. He was on a mission in Guchang, and of course, accompanying Wang Qinghai to eat and play cards at night was also one of the tasks. After returning from the Sixth Division at noon, Zhu Muyun reported once, and now that Wang Qinghai has called in person, he naturally has to report again.
Zhu Muyun came to Guchang with two tasks, one of which was to cooperate with the "nails" and clean up the military commanders by the way. But Yang Zhi had just arrived in Guchang and had not yet received an order to act. Yang Zhi didn't take action, and Zhu Muyun didn't need to act. The second is to persuade the Sixth Division.
Although Li Bangfan let Zhu Muyun borrow but not repay, it was actually just a private statement. Even if Xiong Dongjian wants to secondment a regiment, he will say it privately. On the surface, the Japanese army would never give such an order to the 6th Division. Yes, in order to solve the expansion of the Yellow Guard, I had to borrow troops.
The best way is to reach some kind of tacit understanding with the Sixth Division and other puppet armies. Or rather, some kind of mutually acceptable transaction. And Zhu Muyun's trip to Guchang is responsible for the negotiation between the two sides.
"It's extremely inappropriate for you to just let Zhou Zhi stick to the phone. What if he doesn't have a chance to call? What if he can't find the phone? What if the phone line suddenly goes down? Li Bangfan listened to Zhu Muyun's report and soon found out that something was wrong.
"The bureau is wise, I will send someone to guard it immediately." Zhu Muyun said that he really didn't expect it.
In his mind, Yang Zhi's actions will not have much to do with the actions of the military commanders. Letting Yang Zhi come to Guchang is purely to let Yang Zhi get information and increase the importance of the nail in the Political Security Bureau.
"Special care should be taken to protect the identity of the nails." Li Bangfan advised.
"Yes." Zhu Muyun hurriedly said that today's matter was indeed his inconsiderate thought.
"You can't be completely blamed for this matter, the conversation with Wang Qinghai, remember not to promise, and don't hand over our hole cards all at once." Li Bangfan reminded that he asked Zhu Muyun to test Wang Qinghai's tone, maybe Wang Qinghai also had the same idea.
It is understandable that Zhu Muyun is inexperienced and does not consider the problem comprehensively. He asked Zhu Muyun to communicate with the Sixth Division, and also wanted to persuade Wang Qinghai to make concessions through Zhu Muyun's personal relationship. The Japanese gave the order directly, but in the end there was no way out. However, this method is more of a means and may not be implemented.
"Please rest assured, I will successfully complete the task." Zhu Muyun said firmly.
In fact, Zhu Muyun felt that there was another way to expand the Huang Weijun, and that was the Loyal National Salvation Army. Since the mission of the Ancient Star District is to protect Xiong Dongjian, not to sanction him. Xiong Dongjian's identity as a military commander is self-evident, and even the Japanese know Xiong Dongjian's identity.
The Yellow Guards were the product of Chongqing's informal cooperation with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army should acquiesce to the existence of the Nationalist Army and even the military commanders. This can also explain why Xiong Dongjian suffered a defeat and can still be praised by Mrs. Meiza, Xiong Dongjian was injured and the chief of staff died, but he can still be expanded.
When Zhu Muyun went to the quartermaster department again, he was treated differently than in the morning. Wang Qinghai seemed very enthusiastic and went to the door to greet him. In the past, he was enthusiastic about Zhu Muyun because Zhu Muyun could bring him huge profits. His enthusiasm today is because Zhu Muyun can bring him information about the Japanese.
"Master Wang, it's too polite, how dare Mu Yun let the master come out to greet him." Zhu Muyun said ashamedly.
"If you come to my sixth division, you are a guest. I'm the host, and it's right to come out to greet the guests. Wang Qinghai had a hypocritical smile on his face. His military rank is lieutenant general, and Zhu Muyun's status in the Political Security Bureau is just a school officer.
"I'm half of the Sixth Division now, how can I still be considered a guest." Zhu Muyun said humbly.
"Since you think you are a person of half of the Sixth Division, then you are welcome, please." Wang Qinghai laughed and said that no matter what Zhu Muyun really thought, he was still very happy that he could express such a attitude.
"Master, please." Zhu Muyun said respectfully.
Many things in China are not easy to talk about in the office, not in the conference room, but they are easy to talk about behind closed doors, and even easier to talk about at the wine table.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the wine table is lively. Wang Qinghai only brought Lin Junyang and Shi Dongliang, while Zhu Muyun was alone. The four of them were originally card friends, and they were also a community of interests. Wang Qinghai deliberately tricked Zhu Muyun's information, and Zhu Muyun was more interested in revealing the information to them. Therefore, the atmosphere of the wine table is very harmonious, and there is constant laughter.
"In Guxing Muyun, he is busy with official business, and when he arrives in Guchang, he can have fun, it seems that he will have to come to Guchang often in the future." Wang Qinghai said with a smile.
"As long as the teacher is invited, no matter how busy he is, he will come non-stop." Zhu Muyun said humbly.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities like this in the future." Lin Junyang sighed and said.
"How could that be?" Zhu Muyun said "surprised".
"Mu Yun, it's not that you don't know, Xiong Dongjian has always wanted to fight the idea of the Sixth Division." Shi Dongliang also sighed and said.
"Master, Brother Lin, Brother Shi, in fact, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing." Zhu Muyun took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass, smiled mysteriously, and said softly.
"What do you think about Mu Yun?" Wang Qinghai's eyes lit up, and he personally poured Zhu Muyun a glass of wine and asked.
"In the afternoon, when I reported to the bureau, I asked about Xiong Dongjian by the way. In fact, General Miza did not agree to transfer the 118th Regiment from the 6th Division to Huang Weijun. Zhu Muyun said slowly.
"I'll just say, it's impossible for the Japanese to cross the river and tear down the bridge." Lin Junyang slapped the table and said loudly.
"But there is no wind and no waves, last time the Sixth Division transferred a platoon to the Huang Wei Army, and this time the Huang Wei Army expanded, it will inevitably have to be transferred again. A regiment is impossible, a battalion, it is still possible. Zhu Muyun said.
Zhu Muyun's words made the atmosphere freeze all of a sudden. There are three companies in one battalion, hundreds of people. How many people are there in total? Isn't it that half of them were transferred from the Sixth Division?
"In the last platoon of the Sixth Division, the platoon commander became the company commander, the squad leader became the platoon commander, and the soldier became the squad leader. If the low-level officers of the Yellow Guards are all from the Sixth Division, then in the end the Sixth Division transfused blood to the Yellow Guards? Or is the Yellow Guard under our control? Zhu Muyun said slowly.
"These people have milk and are mothers, and they have the benefits of Huang Weijun, can they still remember that they are from the Sixth Division?" Wang Qinghai was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head.
Although the Sixth Division was created by Wang Qinghai, the original team of the Sixth Division was not much better than Huang Weijun. Once these people arrive at the Yellow Guards, after they are reused, will they remember that they are from the Sixth Division? If you send your descendants to the Yellow Guards, the next six divisions will become a plate of scattered sand.
Zhu Muyun had never been in the army after all, and when he heard Wang Qinghai say this, he realized that he had thought about the problem too simply. The reason why people in the army are soldiers is to have a good meal. Under Wang Qinghai, he was a soldier, and under Xiong Dongjian, he was also a soldier and ate food.
Even, if Huang Weijun's treatment were better, they would soon be bought. When the time comes, the Sixth Division will lose its wife and soldiers.
Fortunately, Zhu Muyun has a backup plan. Any plan of Zhu Muyun will have a backup plan. If the best plan can't be implemented, the backup plan can be quickly activated.
"Shizao said it well, but I don't believe that everyone has no conscience. In this matter, it is better to be active than passive. This time, the Yellow Guards got a lot of equipment, and if they had to give the Yellow Guards a group of people, they could keep the officers and weapons, and only give them soldiers. In addition, this group of people must also exchange for a batch of equipment. Zhu Muyun said that he originally wanted to persuade that in the future, when the Sixth Division develops greatly, it can annex the Huang Weijun.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that if the Huang Weijun grows stronger one day and reaches the point where it can annex the Sixth Division, these people will be Wang Qinghai's capital. But now these arguments have no meaning. Wang Qinghai wouldn't think about it that far at all, he only knew that he had suffered heavy losses.
"Mu Yun's proposal is very good, Huang Weijun has only been established for a few days? And artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns. If our Sixth Division also has these equipment, will the mud-legged men of the New Fourth Army still dare to invade? Lin Junyang also said that as the chief of staff of the Sixth Division, he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division.
The Sixth Division was established by Wang Qinghai after collecting some stragglers and some bandits, and the quality of the soldiers was much the same as that of the Yellow Guards. It's just that they have been trained for more than two years, and they are somewhat like soldiers. And the Huang Weijun was established in a hurry, and it was not considered an army.
The equipment of the sixth division, the Japanese army gave only a small part. For example, after the uprising of the 118th Regiment, Wang Qinghai immediately rebuilt the 118th Regiment. However, the Japanese army did not pay attention to this at that time, neither alerting the source of troops nor providing weapons. Now the equipment of the Sixth Division is extremely poor, and it simply cannot withstand a big battle.
"Can Xiong Dongjian give equipment?" Wang Qinghai said suspiciously.
"Xiong Dongjian won't give it, you can ask the Japanese. I think that if the Sixth Division supported the expansion of the Yellow Guards, the Japanese would have given some weapons. Of course, it can't be like the Yellow Guards, but it's still possible to give some mortars, or heavy machine guns. Zhu Muyun said.
"Actually, there is another way, we give Huang Weijun 300 people, and we can catch 200 strong men. As long as they wear military uniforms, they are the people of my sixth division. When the time comes, what can Xiong Dongjian say? Shi Dongliang also said.
"When I was old, this method was wonderful, so Xiong Dongjian couldn't say it." Zhu Muyun laughed.
As long as there are a hundred veterans, their task is completed. Isn't it two hundred strong men? With the ability of the six divisions, it can be completed in less than three days. Whether it is the Sixth Division or the Huang Wei Army, they are all enemy troops for Zhu Muyun. Whether they fight a dead horse or a dead bull, it has nothing to do with him.
Wang Qinghai thought about it, and the proposals of the three of them all had a certain amount of truth. If he could exchange three hundred people for a batch of heavy weapons, he would definitely not hesitate. As Shi Dongliang said, these 300 people can be given to 100 veterans. As for the strong men, they can be caught anywhere.
