"Disarmament?"

Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or Chongqing, they were very shocked after receiving Liao Fan's news, the strength and weakness of the tripartite forces in China is reflected by the army. Although they have recognized that Liao Fan can lead the troops of the whole country, there is still a two-year period. And now the Japanese army still has millions of troops in China.

During the war, it was a crazy expansion of troops, and now Liao Fan wants to do the opposite and take the initiative to reduce the troops.

"Chairman, isn't this Liao Fan messing around? Isn't this a self-defeating army cut? This can't be left to Liao Fan's nonsense! ”

Everyone in Chongqing's high-level opportunities believed that Liao Fan was messing around, although Chairman Jiang had already planned to hand over all the military power to Liao Fan, but it was not Liao Fan who was messing around like this.

"Yes, we can't reduce our troops, now the Japanese invaders are still occupying our territory, and although the situation in the north has improved, the Japanese invaders are still occupying important cities along the Yangtze River and coastal areas on our side. If the Japanese army launches a counterattack against us, he Liao Fan is relieved, what should we do? ”

These senior generals know best the combat effectiveness of the Chongqing troops, and if they had the ability, they would have launched a counterattack against the Japanese army a long time ago, and they would not still be in a state of confrontation with the Japanese army when the Japanese army was going downhill. Which of these high-ranking generals does not want to take their troops to regain lost territory, but the combat effectiveness of the troops is really a very big problem.

The combat effectiveness of the troops is not good, and they can only rely on the superiority in numbers to form a confrontation with the Japanese army, and if they are disarmed at this time, it is very likely to break the stability on the battlefield, and the situation is very unfavorable to the Chongqing side.

Chairman Jiang didn't speak, because he couldn't guess what Liao Fan wanted to do? It stands to reason that he has promised to hand over military power, Liao Fan should not suppress dissidents because of the issue of military power, and now Liao Fan suddenly wants to inform them of disarmament, is it because he still doesn't trust him?

"Okay, I don't know the reason for the matter yet, so don't talk about it, and I'll tell you the details of the matter after this meeting!"

The meeting was held in Wuhan, and Chairman Chiang would certainly ask clearly why the disarmament was carried out. When the time comes, if disarmament is not suitable, Chairman Chiang will certainly vigorously oppose it.

Similarly, the Eighth Route Army and Chongqing reacted the same way, disarmament is a big deal, and there are not many troops on the Eighth Route Army's side, not to mention the combat effectiveness, a large number of militia guerrillas are active behind enemy lines, and their combat effectiveness is naturally inferior to the fully equipped Taihang Mountain Army and Chongqing troops.

But both sides want to hear Liao Fan's opinion, after all, with their understanding of Liao Fan, Liao Fan will not do reckless things, especially under the current situation that is good for them, Liao Fan cannot cut off his own way.

The country is huge, and things must not be decided by one person, and only by discussing can we plan a better path for the country.

Wuhan has become one of the most active and free-thinking cities in the whole country! Anyone can participate in the affairs of the state here, as long as the people make a request, the management feels reasonable, everyone holds a meeting to discuss, and then the results are announced to the people, and the people can also supervise the entire administrative body in a timely manner, if the administrative body does not listen to the voice of the people, the people can spontaneously organize a collective to hold the administrative body accountable.

A series of processes down, although it seems troublesome, but the best supervision. Of course, the country is still in chaos, and the legislature is not perfect, but for all punishments are severe, especially for administrative personnel who know the law and break the law, whether it is Liao Fan, the Eighth Route Army or Chongqing, they must be strict with themselves.

"What is the situation in Wuhan? Compared to when it was just reclaimed? ”

The three giants gathered, and Liao Fan looked at Chairman Jiang and asked Chairman Jiang how he felt about the changes in Wuhan.

Wuhan has indeed changed a lot, when Wuhan was just recovered, it was chaotic, especially in terms of economy and people's livelihood, as if the city was destroyed in the war. Not to mention the economic development, the people's livelihood has been greatly improved, compared with other cities, Wuhan City is probably the most dynamic city in the country today.

"I have to say that some of the decisions here are very good, but the power of the administrative organs is too small, if the people keep disagreeing, do they have to keep changing? But you must know that some things in the country must always be in the hands of a small number of people! ”

Although Chairman Chiang is not the most capable manager, he probably does not know much about the state than Chairman Chiang. If the administrative power is dominated by the people, it is really a very complicated matter.

"The minority obeys the majority! I also know that nothing can please everyone, but we can do it to satisfy most people! If we can't do it to the satisfaction of most people, then the problem is that we are not doing a good job! ”

Of course, Liao Fan also knows that one thing is done perfectly, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone, what they have to do is just to satisfy most people.

"Hmm...... Ideas are good ideas, but it's really hard to do, but I believe in you! "Chairman Meow supports Liao Fan, the interests of the minority are subordinated to the interests of the majority, which can indeed better stabilize the society and the country.

"Let's go, let's take a walk around again and see the local customs!"

Chairman Jiang had been in Wuhan before, and he knew Wuhan well, but Liao Fan and Chairman Meow didn't come to Wuhan often, so this time Chairman Jiang mainly accompanied the two of them.

In the evening, it was time for them to discuss things formally.

"Commander-in-Chief Liao, you always have to tell me why you want to disarm, right? You know, we need numbers to support our troops now! We can't just say a word from you that makes us cut our troops. Chairman Meow asked.

"How much does a veteran of your Eighth Route Army spend in a month? And how much does a soldier in Chongqing spend? Liao Fan asked the two people.

The two men were silent, and they didn't know exactly how much.

"Let's not talk about how much you spend! But let me tell you first how much is the cost of a veteran soldier in Taihang Mountain, from food and clothing to weapons, each expenditure has to be supported by more than a dozen middle peasants, this is only infantry, not including armored troops and other various troops, this cost is a very shocking figure, although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is poor, but I estimate that raising a soldier, how can it take five to eight middle peasants! ”

"Are there really so many?" Chairman Chiang was a little incredulous.

"Although we now have factories, but now imagine that our country is still a big agricultural country, industry has just started, for every extra soldier, we have more than a dozen peasants hungry to supply him, of course, the vast majority of the peasants in our country belong to poor peasants and tenants!"

Liao Fan counted an account for Chairman Jiang and Chairman Meow one by one, and when Liao Fan finished speaking, the two of them finally realized that the country was really poor, and the poor couldn't afford to eat.

"With so many soldiers and so much expense, we didn't fight well! For example, Chairman Jiang, the troops under your command, those local security regiments, not only do they not have combat effectiveness, but they are also unable to maintain local law and order, and they also plague the people, what can we do if we drive the little devils away at that time? Aren't they harming our country yet? ”

"Although the three of us are in different camps, our goal is the same, to build a strong country! If these moths exist, the country will definitely be cleaned up by them! ”

After Liao Fan's analysis, Chairman Chiang really realized that there was a great deal to be done with this: If the troops were not reduced, the country's comprehensive national strength would be consumed, and on the contrary, the disbandment of some soldiers would also increase the local labor force.

"But......" Chairman Meow wanted to ask Liao Fan.

"I know what you're worried about, the combat effectiveness of the troops, after all, reducing the number of soldiers will inevitably weaken the combat effectiveness of the troops! I have a solution to it! Now the military factory in Taihang Mountain has been able to provide us with a large number of weapons and ammunition! If you agree to disarmament, I will provide you with more weapons and equipment, and strive to replace the equipment of all troops within a year! ”

The arsenal in Taihang Mountain has been overproduced since last year, although the amount of ammunition stored in the war years is not too much, but Liao Fan knows very well that one side is not really strong, only when all the troops in this country are strong is really strong. So Liao Fan decided to put aside his prejudices and develop comprehensive national strength, after all, the competition in the future will be the national economy.

Hearing that Liao Fan was going to provide equipment to their troops, smiles began to leak from the faces of the two people, because they knew that the equipment of the troops in Taihang Mountain was the best in the country, especially the number of fully automatic weapons and artillery units was enviable.

"Don't be happy yet, I'm talking about providing weapons for ordinary infantry only." Of course, Liao Fan will not provide them with tanks and planes, because these Taihang Mountains are not enough, unless Taihang Mountains are already equipped with sufficient quantities.

"Of course we know this, but I have a request!"

Although the control of the troops in the future is not in the hands of Chairman Chiang, Chairman Chiang still wants to make some demands.

"You say!"

"The equipment allocation base of the troops should be the same as that of the troops in Taihang Mountain! The number of artillery pieces in a division configuration cannot be less than half of that of Taihang Mountain! ”

The reorganization and equipment of the troops will inevitably be reorganized in accordance with the requirements of the division, because this will be the fastest efficiency, and this disarmament will inevitably result in the reduction of a large number of new soldiers, the retention of veterans in the troops, and the acceptance of equipment provided by Liao Fan, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably be raised by a higher level.

"No problem! But I also want to assign two coaches to each division, do you think there is any problem? ”

Taihang Mountain still has many soldiers who cannot return to the battlefield due to disability, but these soldiers are still able to guide the training of recruits on the training ground.

ps: I will try to resume the two shifts next Tuesday, and I will be tired of becoming grandchildren.
