Hu Bin told Li Nian about the telegram sent by Commander Peng, saying that he wanted Hu Bin to continue to recruit 60,000 people.

When Li Nian heard it, he laughed.

"I said what are you laughing at, do we need so many troops in one division? I'm conspiring, Commander Peng wants to trap me, you see, he asked me to recruit so many troops, didn't he just want me to not be able to go to the front line in person? Right? Hu Bin saw Li Nian smiling there, and immediately looked at Li Nian and said.

"That's right, that's what Commander Peng meant. You don't want to think about it, you are the commander in Hubei, and you are also the commander in Burma, and the troops under your command are hundreds of thousands, and now there are 20,000 troops, can Commander Peng agree?

It's not that you are inexperienced, it's because you want to go to the front line, and Commander Peng must know those things you did in the arsenal, you say, is Commander Peng relieved to let you go to the front line? If it were me, I would also make you a military commander, so that the possibility of you going to the front in person would not be too great. Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and said.

"I knew it was so. Don't recruit, don't recruit first! Hu Bin heard it and nodded, he was not sure before, but now that he heard Li Nian say this, he immediately decided not to recruit new recruits.

"That's not good, it's okay not to recruit so much, it's not okay not to recruit. Our troops also need to be replenished, and when the time comes, who will we ask for recruits, you can't expect recruits trained by other troops to be handed over to you, right? Li Nian heard it and immediately vetoed it.

"Then recruit 20,000 people, no more than one person, now there is no shortage of troops on our side, more than 2 million troops, all equipped with good weapons, what are you afraid of, if you want to recruit troops, we will not recruit them, I don't want to recruit so many troops anyway, trap myself in it." Hu Bin sat there and said to Li Nian.

"Okay, 20,000 people is 20,000 people, but the other leaders still have high expectations for you, think about it, you have experience in commanding big battles, and the current conditions on our side can also be.

What's more, this time the organization has arranged so many veteran generals to come to our side, the new chief of staff is Ye Xiaohua, I remember that it should also be your father's regiment, and Ye Xianteng, it seems that he is still your old subordinate, right, and the other people I know are all veteran Red Army soldiers who have participated in the Long March.

They were sent to our side just to consider that if our troops are going to expand in the future, we have enough commanders on our hands, you see Ye Xianteng, Ye Xiaohua, and Chen Hang are all qualified to be division commanders.

That is to say, the above sent 3 reserve division commanders over, plus Li Qinwei, Xiang Feng, and Fang Lei, our division has 6 cadres of reserve division commanders, if you don't recruit troops, I estimate that the commander will not be able to bypass you. Li Nian looked at Hu Bin with a cigarette and said.

"You can pull it down, you say that I have no benefit of being the commander of the army, there is no benefit, I still have to stay in the headquarters at that time, and the political commissar will listen to me, so he will recruit 20,000 troops. Don't have one more. Hu Bin said with a smile.

"This is not up to you alone, even if I agree, they won't agree, our division party committee, there are 13 votes, even if I abstain, at least 8 votes are in favor of recruitment! Okay, okay, I support you not to recruit soldiers, it's also 8:5, you still have to recruit more soldiers. Li Nian originally wanted to say abstain, but when he saw Hu Bin's eyes looking at him, he immediately said.

"You don't come, you are the political commissar, you have the power to veto." Hu Bin looked at him and said.

"I dare me, if I dare to veto it directly, believe it or not, the next day Commander Peng and Political Commissar Ren will ask me to go to Beiping to report, and then I will go to Yan'an and be scolded by the commander and the commander-in-chief!" Li Nian glanced at Hu Bin and said.

"Can't you do their ideological work, so that they don't think about expanding the ranks, and there are not many soldiers?" Hu Bin asked again.

"Do you feel that there is no telegram between the commander and the commander-in-chief, as well as Commander Peng? Now they just want you to go back to the arsenal and not go to the front! Really! Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Hey, no, I have to find a way, I only had a good time last night, and now I'm about to become a canary again, I don't want to do it, recruit soldiers, hum, if I don't agree to recruit soldiers, I see which of them dares to recruit soldiers, make me angry, and have a trick to deal with them." Hu Bin first sighed, and then said that he had to find a way to do it, and he couldn't let them recruit soldiers.

Li Nian heard it, smiled, and did not speak.

In the next few days, Hu Bin and the others continued to rescue this place, and the devils retreated safely in Jianchang and Ningcheng, and their positions and barracks were taken over by other troops on the Yan'an side.

Now Hu Bin is not comfortable, he has nothing to do all day long, every day he either looks at the information sent by the special regiment, or sleeps, anyway, all the affairs of the army are left to them.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Hu Bin doesn't plan to take action now, all actions have to wait for the New Year, but this morning, as soon as Hu Bin got up, Li Nian came to look for him.

"Xiaobin, hold a party committee today, come to my office after breakfast." Li Nian came over and said to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin heard it and stood there looking at him.

"What?" Li Nian didn't know why he was looking at himself like this.

"Why are you having a meeting?" Hu Bin stood there and asked.

"Hey, recruit, get ready." Li Nian heard Hu Bin ask this, and said to Hu Bin with a smile.

"You can pull it down, okay, for a meeting." Hu Bin heard it, glanced at Li Nian with disdain, and then nodded.

After Hu Bin finished breakfast, he walked to Li Nian's office, and just after arriving there, Chief of Staff Ye Xiaohua and the cadres of the division headquarters had arrived, and the brigade commanders, political commissars, chief of staff, and the heads of the special regiments, political commissars and chiefs of staff all came over, and Hu Bin was the last to come in.

"All here?" After Hu Bin came in, he asked with a smile.

"It's still early, there's nothing to do now, just come over and sit for a while, come, Xiaobin sit down!" Li Nian said to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin heard it, nodded, and found a place to sit down, and there were 13 of them in the conference room.

"Then let's open it first, anyway, there's no big deal now, let's finish the meeting first?" Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"Okay!" Hu Bin nodded.

"Okay, then have a meeting, today, the division commander and I are here again to welcome the four of you to join our team, the four of you are here, which greatly reduces the work of me and the division commander, we are very grateful for this!" Li Nian sat there and said.

"This is as it should be, and we have to do our part too!" Deputy Political Commissar Luo Yuanjian said immediately.

"Well, everyone really has to do their part, this meeting has two topics, the first is about the Spring Festival, now there is just half a month before the Spring Festival, we must prepare to hold some activities during the Spring Festival, so that our soldiers can have a happy Spring Festival.

The second thing is about recruitment, a few days ago Commander Peng sent a telegram, saying that he wanted our troops to pull up our supplementary troops as soon as possible, we had been providing disaster relief before, and now the disaster relief is almost over, we should recruit new soldiers, just these two things! Li Nian sat there and spoke.

After Li Nian finished speaking, those people looked at Hu Bin.

"You speak first, I'll listen first!" Hu Bin saw that they were all staring at him, and immediately spoke.

However, soon you will look at me, and I will look at you.

"What's wrong? What do you have to say? Hu Bin saw them looking at each other, and immediately looked at them and said.

"Yes, political commissar, division commander, then I'll talk about it first, about the New Year" Ye Xiaohua was the first to speak, only talking about the New Year, but he didn't say anything about the conscription, and then the other people all talked about the New Year first, and they didn't talk about the recruitment.

Li Nian saw them like this, and when they finished speaking, he said with a smile: "You also have to talk about the conscription, this is also an important task for our division in the future!" As soon as Li Nian's words were finished, the others immediately looked at Hu Bin.

"What are you looking at him for? Tell us what you think! Li Nian saw that those people were staring at Hu Bin, and immediately said with a smile.

At this time, Hu Bin rolled his eyes at Li Nian, and Li Nian couldn't help but look at him.

"Listen to the teacher!" The monk sat there and spoke.

"Yes, listen to the teacher!" Xiang Feng also nodded and said.

"We also listen to the teacher!" At this time, Ye Xiaohua also spoke, and the other cadres nodded one after another and said to listen to the teacher.

"Will that work? This is not a word, why do you listen to me? Hu Bin was quite surprised to see them like this.

Monk, Xiang Feng, and Fang Lei listened to themselves, and they could understand it, but Ye Xiaohua and they also said that they listened to themselves, and Hu Bin couldn't understand it, and he didn't say his opinion to them.

Besides, Commander Peng must have sent them a telegram before they came, asking them to propose a plan to recruit 60,000 troops, why didn't they dare to say it, this made Hu Bin not understand.

"That's it, if you have an opinion, just talk about it! This is a divisional party committee, not an operational meeting! Li Nian sat there and looked at them and said, he was also very strange in his heart, he didn't know how those people were different from what he thought.

"Political commissar, division commander, we have just arrived in the army and are not very familiar with the troops, so we think it is better to listen to the division commander, so as to ensure that the combat effectiveness of our 99th Division will not decline!" Deputy division commander Ye Xianteng spoke.

Ye Xianteng used to be his old subordinate, but now he has returned to Hu Bin's side again and has become Hu Bin's deputy division commander.

"Huh~?" Hu Bin looked at them with puzzled eyes at this time, and he really didn't know where they were singing. (To be continued.) )
