Chapter 894 - Exchange of Interests
"However, all the sources of military spending for this regiment are taken from the taxes of the above-mentioned counties, and the provincial government and the military department have no money to invest in this new army. Moreover, the provincial government has to collect the annual tax revenue of the counties under the jurisdiction of the regiment as usual. Liu Xiang said leisurely.
Groove 。。。。。。 Liu Lang had a toothache.
Lao Liu's two-skinned face! While throwing a bait that people have to swallow, he also swings a small hoe and desperately tries to get money.
But can Sichuan be the same as anywhere else? Is there a place like Sichuan, where you beat me and I beat you for ten years?
Also pay taxes, who doesn't know that you guys have pre-received all the taxes in Sichuan into the 21st century? Isn't this clearly asking Liu Lang to pay for his old money to support this armed force that only belongs to Liu Xiang! It's not enough to support a group, this cheeky old man even has a big tongue to ask for taxes in northern Sichuan.
Liu Lang almost didn't spill a cup of tea on the face of his cousin who was smiling treacherously, if he wasn't still a little sane.
"Uncle, do you know that the taxes in northern Sichuan have already been advanced to the next century? What taxes do the people of northern Sichuan pay to the provincial government with the money? Liu Lang couldn't help but scream.
"Don't talk so much about Lao Tzu, there are more people who want to enter northern Sichuan in the past three months, and they are all pressed by Lao Tzu. Hehe, believe it or not, as long as Lao Tzu releases this news, Lao Tzu's small study will be filled up immediately? Taxes, you want to receive the Republic of China for 100 years are also with you. Liu Xiang said with a sneer.
"Cheng, Uncle Tang, the investment of the Huashang Group, you still owe 9 million oceans, plus the Chengdu to Guangyuan advanced by the Huashang Group for the Sichuan Provincial Government, and the two highways from Guangyuan to Hanzhong are equivalent to 2 million oceans, a total of 11 million oceans, in exchange for ten years of taxes in eleven counties in northern Sichuan, what do you think?" Liu Lang immediately changed his words, looking like a big tyrant.
Anyway, those two sums of money can't come back for a long time, Liu Xiang's 9 million has not been mentioned for two years, and the money advanced is basically offset by taxes in the old way.
Liu Xiang couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Of course he knows that Liu Lang's mouth is 11 million oceans, and it is only worth ten years of taxes in northern Sichuan, and his extremely shrewd nephew seems to have done an extremely stupid business, but in fact, it is just a white strip to a white strip, and no one has paid a penny.
With him as a shareholder, the 2 million oceans advanced by the Huashang Group will never lose money even if they don't want it, as for the 9 million Yinyang shares owed, where is his identity as the first person in Sichuan, as long as he is still the chairman of Sichuan Province for one day, the business of the Huashang Group in Sichuan will be untouchable, and the benefits brought by it are comparable to the 9 million Yinyang?
"But uncle, don't think it's too little, the Huamei Arsenal of the Ross Group is moving to Guangyuan, and after it is officially put into production next year, I guarantee that all the light weapons of the army under your command will be reequipped as soon as possible, and the cost will never make it difficult for you." Liu Lang then promised.
This is the benefit of Chiguoguo, and by the way, it is also a matter of Liu Lang's heart, which is completely a double win.
The Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese, and it was good to carry the old sleeve made by Hanyang, and the old Mauser and Sichuan-made 79-type rifles left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the main equipment, and a division was only one or twenty light machine guns, two or three heavy machine guns, and there were only a few mortars per division, and there were only a few mountain artillery and field artillery in the entire Sichuan army. Even the other poorly equipped Chinese armies shouted "call Hanako" when they saw the Sichuan army, let alone compete with the Japanese invaders who were armed to the teeth.
Although Liu Lang did not have the ability to arm all the huge Sichuan troops to the teeth, he could still update all the standard rifles of the Sichuan army and bring more machine guns to each division. It's just that Liu Lang also has to find a suitable reason.
Otherwise, spending millions of dollars is to make wedding clothes for others, even if he is as close as Liu Xiang, he has to wonder what Liu Lang wants to do? Lao Tzu is not dead yet, is he? You are eager to buy people's hearts and want to be the king of Sichuan?
If Liu Xiang is jealous because of this, it will be too much to lose.
Now with the help of Liu Xiang's opportunity to send northern Sichuan, Liu Lang made this promise just right. And Liu Lang said this very lively, the money is not said not to be collected, but it can be collected less, or even just symbolically.
It is the Sichuan Provincial Government that is responsible for the money, not Liu Xiang's private person, this in and out is the difference of millions of silver oceans, where does the difference fall? Naturally, it fell into the hands of Liu Xiang.
The gift was delivered seamlessly, and both of them were greatly satisfied.
"Okay, who are you going to use for the head of the regiment?" Liu Xiang, who was smiling with a smile on his face, spoke directly.
"Tang Yongming, chief of staff of our independent regiment." Liu Lang said without hesitation.
Looking at the entire independent regiment, Tang Yongming, who has been promoted to colonel, is the most suitable candidate, with the right military rank, if he hadn't followed Liu Lang to Guangyuan, with his talent, he would have been promoted to the regimental commander, and he might even have taken a higher position. Of course, more importantly, the two have fought side by side, and after three years of cooperation, they are not second choices in terms of talent or loyalty.
And although Zhang Ruhao, the deputy of the regiment, is also very good, but his identity belongs to the airborne cadre of the Ministry of Military Affairs, if he is transferred, Liu Lang does not want to be stuffed in again, and continue to run in with an important deputy, he and the independent regiment have no time to toss these things.
In addition to these two, only Chi Dakui is left, for Liu Lang's most trusted right-hand man, Liu Lang has a more important position for him to do, and it is really not appropriate to let him leave now.
"Lang Wa'er has grown up, the recommended candidate is good, Tang Yongming is very suitable, so it's decided." After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiang had a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with Liu Lang's recommendation for the head of the North Sichuan Security Regiment, and nodded and agreed immediately. "Pass on my military order, ordering Colonel Tang to form a security regiment in northern Sichuan within 15 days and stationed in the counties of northern Sichuan within 20 days."
"Also, in view of the fact that the security regiment has not been established for a long time and the number of troops is also small, a regiment under the command of Zhang Yanxin's 61st Brigade will assist the security regiment in garrisoning the counties in northern Sichuan, and the military expenses will be allocated by the provincial government, and each military defense area will be sent to the regimental headquarters after 15 July." Liu Xiang waved his hand to stop Liu Lang, who was standing up and preparing to march and salute, and continued: "Don't be busy saluting, although you have not been promoted this time, you have to take up the responsibility of guarding Sichuan for my uncle and me, and I will order you to be the commissioner of the 14th Administrative Supervision District of Sichuan in the name of the chairman of Sichuan Province." ”
Liu Lang was slightly stunned, if it was said that the previous request for him to recommend candidates to form the Northern Sichuan Security Regiment was a favor given to him by Liu Xiang to expand the troops under his command in another way, then this commissioner of the 14th Administrative Supervision District actually brought the entire northern Sichuan under his control.
Liu Xiang's arrangement can be described as ingenious, and it seems that Liu Lang has not been promoted to any position, but from today onwards, the scope of his control is not only Guangyuan County, but the entire northern Sichuan. The mandate has been expanded tenfold compared to the previous days.
The security regiment has only 3,000 establishments, and it is obviously not enough to garrison nearly ten mountainous counties in northern Sichuan, so Liu Xiang specially sent a regiment of Zhang Yanbu to garrison, which is to warn other warlords in Sichuan that northern Sichuan is now his Liu Xiang's territory, and he has enough strength to garrison it, but it also prevents Zhang Yan's department from being too big to lose its tail and take the lead. Liu Lang, the commissioner of the 14th administrative inspection district, is a key person, although there is only the function of inspector inspection, but there is a 3000 troops of the security regiment to support the inspector, looking at the entire northern Sichuan, who else is his opponent? Whether it is administrative or military, almost Liu Lang has the final say.
Of course, Liu Xiang used Zhang Yanbu as an assistant, and he also kept a small hand, resulting in northern Sichuan not being monolithic, which also told Liu Lang that Sichuan is his Liu Xiang's, and northern Sichuan is also.
However, Liu Lang doesn't care about this, this is also a small means to put it on the bright side for the superiors, if Liu Xiang doesn't do this, then Liu Lang may not necessarily swallow this big cake in one bite! The invisible threat is the real danger.
Liu Lang, who didn't even eat dinner and rushed back to Guangyuan overnight, held a meeting of lieutenant colonel-level officers of the Independent Regiment at the regiment headquarters.
When they heard the news that Liu Lang announced the establishment of the Northern Sichuan Security Regiment, and that all the officers and soldiers from the regiment commander and below had the recommendation of the independent regiment, everyone present was overjoyed.
This not only means that a large number of middle and lower-level officers will be promoted as a result of the establishment of the new regiment, but also that the strength of the independent regiment has been strengthened in terms of the officially recognized number. The most important thing is that from one regiment to two regiments, this almost represents a signal of promotion, and the appreciation of the regimental commander is in sight. As soon as the regimental commander is promoted, the people present will naturally be promoted, not to mention, the commander will have more say on the battlefield against Japan in the future, and the possibility of the big guy surviving will be greater.
The concept of defending the country has been deeply rooted in their bone marrow in Liu Lang's edification over the years, but it is best to return alive while defending the country, everyone has parents, wives and children, and who doesn't want to live a happy life with them?
Of course, if you can only choose one of the two, it is the former.
They are soldiers, but they are also ordinary people.
Not being afraid of death does not mean that you want to die.
