Chapter 41 to Changsha! (5th Watch)
441
When the commander-in-chief heard the commander-in-chief say that the money would go through the hands of the deputy commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief was anxious when he heard it.
"What, after passing through his hands, is this money still up to me? No, resolutely no, this money can't go through his hands, and after passing through his hands, he estimates that he will have to buy a lot of things. When the time is handed over to me, there will be no money left at all, no, no, I said commander, you know that our arsenal burns money, can you burn this money? "The commander-in-chief asked the commander-in-chief directly,
Because the deputy commander is in charge of the logistics of the entire Yan'an, and the entire economic affairs of Yan'an are the final say of the deputy commander, this money seems to be a lot, but for the deputy commander, it is not enough at all.
The commander-in-chief knew that the money was in the hands of the deputy commander-in-chief, and the deputy commander-in-chief would definitely have to buy a lot of things back, so he did not agree.
"So what do you say? The money must be brought back by him, can't you still let people pick it up? Who are you going to ask for the money? The commander looked at the commander-in-chief with a smile and said.
"Let Hu Bin send it back to me, if he doesn't send it back, I'll transfer him back, I still don't believe it, this kid can get money, and there is no way to send it back, so it's decided!" The commander-in-chief said very anxiously.
"Okay, in this way, let's ask for 20 million, you take 15 million, Lao Zhou's side will take 5 million first, how about it, no problem, if Hu Bin's side wants to expand the army, we will definitely leave him some money." The commander said to the commander-in-chief.
"No, at most 2 million, 5 million, 5 million, how many weapons and ammunition can I get out, no way!" The commander-in-chief shook his head and said.
"2 million, you go and tell him, besides, now Hu Bin is going to Chongqing. You say, whoever sends it back, I also hope that Hu Bin can send it back, it is better for him to send it back in person, but do you think that kid will come back? The commander looked at the commander-in-chief with a smile and said.
"3 million, it can't be more. Commander, our troops have made enough contributions to the local area, many times, our troops have no money to purchase materials, they all find their own way, commander, you can't help but take care of our troops, if you let those people in the army know,
Say it yourself. Will they have an opinion, what was decided just now, and now they have reversed it, so what is the use of this resolution, it is 3 million! The commander-in-chief spoke.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram to Lao Zhou, you, hey!" The Commander-in-Chief heard him say this. It's also a dilemma,
The troops' side needed a lot of money to expand the arsenal. Iron and steel mills, copper smelters, and the formation of new production plants, the purchase of tungsten ore, coal, these things have no way to be transported manually. It can only rely on vehicles, and now many of the troops' vehicles are being requisitioned, just to serve the arsenal, and this money seems like a lot, but the commander also knows it in his heart. It's not enough.
"Okay, it's decided, you go and tell Lao Zhou, it's not that I'm stingy, this money is really exchanged for our troops' lives, and it must be used on the troops.
The money that Hu Bin got this year, at the beginning, was a large part of the arsenal, but as a result, it was all embezzled, and the soldiers were in a hurry outside! Lao Peng is even more, he has slapped the table several times, and now the new rifles allocated to him are 10,000 pieces.
You also know that Hu Bin is his soldier, and the arsenal is also in his defense area. It's not that there is no technology, but there is no money!
Commander, if this money is used by them, look at it, the commanders everywhere will come back! The commander-in-chief said to the commander-in-chief.
"I know, 3 million is 3 million, hey!" The commander sighed when he finished speaking.
"Okay, do you have any thoughts on Hu Bin's division really going to be expanded into an army?" The commander-in-chief asked.
"It's not settled yet, we'll discuss it when the time comes, it's up to Hu Bin now, I guess, this army is a brigade of the 2nd Division, we don't even need to send cadres over, Hu Bin is the army commander, Li Tianxing is the chief of staff, the two brigade commanders become division commanders, and the regiment commanders below are promoted to brigade commanders, and we don't need people from our side at all!" The commander spoke.
"Well, too, then so be it, if it is really expanded into an army, it will be done according to Hu Bin's intentions, and that's it!" When the commander-in-chief heard the commander-in-chief's words, he estimated that Chongqing would give an extra division and a brigade to the establishment, and it would definitely not give more.
Early the next morning, after Hu Bin arranged the affairs of the troops, he asked Li Nian and Li Qinwei to take a team of guards and soldiers to start rushing to Changsha, they needed to rush to Changsha within three days, along the way, except for the vigilant troops, there were no people at all, there was no one, no one!
"It's a ruined scene everywhere, the little devil is really a fucking pit man." Hu Bin looked at the scattered small villages outside, there was no one in those villages at all, Hu Bin could only sigh and say.
"What's the solution, in fact, before the little devil came, it was no better, since the Opium War, China has not had a few years of peace, either you beat me, or I beat you, and in the end the people suffered." Li Nian sat next to him and answered.
"I hope that after the devil is over, our country can be truly peaceful, so that the people can live a better life." Hu Bin looked outside and said, Li Nian heard it, nodded, looked outside, and felt uncomfortable.
On the way, Hu Bin passed through the defense areas of many troops, and those group army commanders, army commanders, and division commanders saw Hu Bin coming, and they all came to greet him in person, and then invited Hu Bin to dinner very warmly. And Hu Bin was also chatting with them, and then set off for Changsha together.
The next night, Hu Bin and his convoy arrived at Changsha, and at this time, Li Zongren and his senior staff officers from the headquarters were also at the city gate, not only to welcome Hu Bin alone, but also to the generals who traveled with Hu Bin.
"Commander Li is good, Deputy Commander Xue is good!" When those generals arrived at the gate of the city, they all got out of the car and saluted Li Zongren.
As a division commander, Hu Bin can only wait in the back, and wait for those commanders and army commanders to salute and then say, he should wait! Hu Bin and the others sat in the back smoking and chatting, and after a while, a major general trotted over to them.
"Master Hu, why are you here, Commander Li and they have been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up, go to the front!" The major general knew Hu Bin, and when he saw Hu Bin and a few of them standing outside the car smoking, he said to Hu Bin anxiously.
"Oh, haha, isn't this going to wait until the chiefs meet first? We can't break the rules, can we? Hu Bin said with a smile, Hu Bin didn't have any expectations in his heart to see Li Zongren, it was the same to see him early and late.
And Hu Bin doesn't want to be false and wronged with those people, so it's better to chat with a few of his own people outside.
"Where's it, now Commander Li and they just want to see you, come with me!" The major general said to Hu Bin, and then beckoned them over, and soon, Hu Bin came to Li Zongren's side, and Hu Bin would not go to the rules that should be there, and he was too lazy to let others catch the handle, saying that he didn't understand the rules.
"Hello Commander Li, good Deputy Commander Xue! Hello Chiefs! Hu Bin took Li Nian and Li Qinwei to Li Zongren, and stood up in front of them and saluted.
"Haha, Brother Hu, I can be regarded as looking forward to you, hurry up, please inside, I have already arranged where you will live tonight, everyone will sit down for a meal in the evening, I will treat you!" After Li Zongren returned the salute, he said to Hu Bin very enthusiastically.
"Brother Hu, don't worry, this time the treat is not what you agreed in the telegram before, the time in the telegram, wait until Chongqing, Commander Li will invite you, of course, I am also going!" Xue Yue on the side said with a smile.
"This is just a joke, Commander Li, you value it too much." Hu Bin said modestly.
"What should be done, I'm also happy, come, all the way, go inside to wash up first, and wait for the Wang Staff Committee to send you over, I'll arrange it over there." Li Zongren said to Hu Bin with a smile.
"Cheng, then thank you Commander Li, there is a staff officer of King Lao!" Hu Bin said with a smile, after saying goodbye to Li Zongren and them, Hu Bin followed the previous major general, that is, Staff Officer Wang, to the place where he lived.
After arriving at the place where he lived, Hu Bin found that it was a private yard, relatively large, after Hu Bin arranged a place for the soldiers to rest, he began to wash, Li Zongren also put 10 people here, specifically to serve Hu Bin theirs, of course, whether it is really a service staff, only they know, Hu Bin saw it, and did not make a sound, did not say anything, what should he do, just do not discuss the serious matter!
In the evening, Li Zongren invited everyone to dinner, Hu Bin and the three of them also went over with some of the guards, and after arriving there, Hu Bin and the three of them found a remote place to sit down and prepare to eat.
But he was pulled up by Li Zongren again, and began to talk to those generals about Hu Bin's exploits, and then he persuaded him to drink, and those army commanders and commanders all came over and said thank you for saving your life, Hu Bin didn't look right, this is to get drunk with his own rhythm.
Soon, Li Qinwei came over and wanted to help Hu Bin block the wine, as soon as Li Qinwei came over, those people were not happy, they wanted Hu Bin to drink, but Hu Bin was injured now and didn't want to drink at all!
"Ladies and gentlemen, our division commander is injured, so it's better not to drink, in this way, I will accompany you on behalf of my division commander!" Li Qinwei said to the man with a smile on his face.
"You're the oldest, just a colonel!" At this moment, a person in the distance spoke.
"Wait, who said that just now, stand up for Lao Tzu!" Hu Bin originally smiled and asked Li Qinwei to drink with them, but when he heard someone say such a sentence, he immediately felt unhappy and shouted directly. (To be continued.) )
