Chapter 311: Military Pay

The seized materials, after a while, Zhang Wei plans to shoot, these things are converted into real money to be considered real, the preparation of the battalion has been resting after coming back, the first week, Zhang Wei did not even arrange basic training, the soldiers are resting every day except for eating, Zhang Wei is a big vacation for them.

After the first week passed, Zhang Wei ordered a return to normal training. The so-called normal training refers to standard morning and evening drills and basic combat training, such as gun manipulation and stabbing exercises, with basic movements as the mainstay, and the preparatory battalion is in a state of rest and recuperation, and there is no live ammunition shooting.

In other words, the preparatory battalion, which has just come down from the battlefield, is now in a relatively "mild" state of training

The officers and men of the whole battalion conducted basic training in all aspects in an orderly manner in the camp. In the open space in the camp, the first company was lined up in three rows. The first two rows of soldiers fell to the ground, leaning on sandbags and shooting in a lying position.

A row of soldiers in the back set their rifles on wooden racks, standing and aiming, and the officers and squad leaders who supervised the training supervised and inspected them one by one.

The second and third companies are training stabbing and bomb throwing, and stabbing training is the basic movements, such as stabbing, blocking, shooting, etc., throwing grenades training, throwing grenades without warheads, stabbing and throwing bombs, and guns, these are the basic subjects in training, and these are what the preparatory battalion is practicing now.

The commanders of each company led the troops in training, and Zhang Wei walked around the training ground to inspect the training of the troops; for most of the people in the preparation battalion, this kind of training was more about consolidation, and in terms of basic combat skills, the soldiers in the preparation battalion had reached a very good level.

Zhang Wei was inspecting the training, suddenly someone came to report, the division headquarters had something to deliver, Zhang Wei hurried over, outside the camp, parked two or three horse-drawn carts, went over to ask, it turned out to be the military salary, the preparation camp is very close to the division headquarters, walking over is only ten minutes away, with three carts came a captain of the division's quartermaster department, the car on the military pay is all packed in cotton sacks.

and told Zhang Wei that this batch of military salaries was a two-month military salary.

Zhang Wei signed the receipt and said a few polite words to the officer who sent the quartermaster, and then accepted the military salary and asked someone to carry the military salary on the carriage.

Before the preparation battalion participated in the battle of Lanfeng, a lot of recruits were replenished, and no military salaries were paid, and this time when they came back, they were grinding for more than a month, so the military salaries were paid according to the standard of two months.

The standard for the payment of military salaries is also based on the situation that the entire battalion is fully staffed, and the reserve battalion is a unit directly under the division, and the food and salaries are directly attached to the division's quartermaster department, which directly allocates them to the battalion.

After counting the military salaries issued, three large trucks, dozens of sacks, a total of nearly 30,000 yuan, Zhang Wei converted it, and the military salaries allocated were a little more than the standard military salaries for two months, and it was estimated that it was the special preferential treatment given by Chief Du to the preparation battalion.

But this military salary, to be honest, can't stand the flowers!

Zhang Wei is now a major, and the major officer was 135 yuan in legal currency a month before the war, which is definitely a very generous salary when combined with the price of goods before the war.

At that time, the small landlord worked hard for a year, and his net income was only more than 100 yuan, and the monthly income of a major officer was equivalent to the results of a small landlord's exploitation for a year.

The salaries and benefits of officers and men at all levels are very good, and even the soldiers at the lowest level can get very good salaries even if some officers drift a little.

Before the war, if anyone had a child who was admitted to the Central Military Academy, or was an officer, and showed their willingness to start a family, it was definitely a hot item! The salary is high and prestigious, which girl is not willing to marry?

However, after the start of the war, the wages became more and more watery, and the salaries of the generals dropped from 135 yuan to 80 yuan a month, which was greatly reduced, and the wages were lowered and the prices of goods also rose.

In the past, I could live a very nourishing month, but now I buy some things, daily necessities and the like, and I use most of my military salary for a month.

Not to mention officers and soldiers of lower rank, basic living is a problem, so now, the officers below the battalion commander level of the national army are living a very difficult life, it is not easy to fight a war, and it is even more difficult to support a family.

As a result, there are all kinds of empty salaries, from military salaries and soldiers to play tricks to subsidize themselves, the empty air in the platoon is mainly eaten by the platoon commander, the vacancies in the company headquarters and the vacancies left by several platoon commanders after eating are eaten by the company commander, and the vacancies in the battalion heavy machine gun company or mortar platoon are eaten by the battalion commander and the battalion officers.

If there are officers who are not satisfied with this and want more money, then there will be a larger scale of empty salaries.

The war led to inflation and economic regression, which in turn directly affected the combat effectiveness of the troops!

The 200 divisions are still good, as the main force, the military salaries can be basically satisfied, and the subordinate units of the division can basically guarantee that the actual military salaries will reach more than 80 percent, and the military salaries received by the reserve battalion will be paid in full.

The dozens of bags of fiat currency in front of Zhang Wei look like a lot, but they are really worthless, and what is really valuable is the private goods that are ready to be traded.

"Battalion commander, this is a lot of money." Qiu Wei said with a mocking meaning, still holding a large handful of fiat currency in his hand. "I said battalion commander, send these tickets, and if you die, you will have ten big yellow croaker."

He Kun, the treasury steward of the preparation camp, looked at the military salaries piled up into small bags with disgust.

Zhang Wei casually opened a sack, which was full of crumpled coins, and the two months' military salaries of the whole battalion were all here.

"Don't complain, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, it's delivered today, it's sent today! Each company receives its salaries as a unit, and the money is distributed directly from the battalion to the soldiers! Queue up to receive it as if you were receiving ammo. He Kun and Qiu Wei, you two oversee the distribution," Zhang Wei said.

Zhang Wei wanted to completely put an end to the possibility of this happening in the preparation battalion, and the distribution of military salaries was directly distributed from the battalion to each soldier, so as to avoid the process of going through the company and platoon and prevent the emergence of possible situations.

"Understood!" "Battalion commander, this military salary is paid according to the situation that the whole battalion is fully staffed, and the brothers in our battalion now add up to more than 400 people, and there are more than 100 vacancies, what about the money from those vacancies?"

He Kun is in charge of the small treasury of the preparation camp, and he is clear about the current situation and the number of people in the preparation camp, and now the preparation camp is not full, but seriously lacking.

The military salary was issued according to the theoretical establishment, and theoretically the whole battalion was full, but the preparation battalion suffered many casualties in a series of battles in Lanfeng, and after checking, there were more than 100 vacancies in the whole battalion, that is to say, the military salary of more than 100 heads could not be paid, because these brothers were all killed, and the military salary was backlogged in their hands.

"Keep it and see if you can buy something to improve the lives of the brothers." The salaries vacated were more than 100 people, and more than 100 people looked like a lot, but most of the soldiers who died were low-level soldiers and brothers, as well as some sergeants.

The soldiers are divided into three levels: the first class soldier and the second class soldier, the second class soldier is only seven yuan a month, the first class soldier is seven yuan and five cents a month, and the senior soldier is only eight yuan and five cents a month, and the spare military salary is not very much.

"Spend the excess military pay as soon as possible, this price is rising too fast." Zhang Wei said.

"Yes!" He Kun replied.
