Mr. Peng thought for a long time, and then said: "Comrade Xiaoping said very reasonably, I have been to Saibei twice, and each time Saibei has changed greatly, the first time was in Xinghe that small Tucheng, the whole eight regiments of troops frightened me a lot, think about our Eighth Route Army at that time there were less than 100,000 people, and they had more than 20,000 people in a small detachment at that time. Later, when I saw that bastard boy again, I knew that the kid forced Terauchi Shouichi to be replaced, and he commanded more than 100,000 elites. But no matter how it changes, I can still feel that some things have not changed in those soldiers, I didn't think of anything before, after Comrade Xiaoping reminded me of this, I did think of it, it is indeed temperament, a temperament that belongs to the army in northern Cyprus. This kind of temperament is the military soul of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and that kind of unruly military soul is the fundamental reason why they can swim against the current. ”

"What the boss said is very reasonable, I have also observed those troops transferred from the north for a long time, and even lived with them for a period of time, watching them train and live. I found that their training subjects and methods were crazy, there were deaths during the confrontation training between their two regiments, and injuries were commonplace, and every soldier did not cry or shout after being injured, and continued to train after recovering from his injuries, which was extremely surprising. Moreover, everyone is familiar with the military's secrecy mechanism, and they may say what they need to say, but they are tight-lipped about any secrets about the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and their high quality is terrifying. I really can't imagine how Comrade Han Yunhua trained the troops, and I really admire him for being able to train such an elite force," Master Liu also said with emotion.

Political Commissar Deng said: "I went to check the post just now, and found that although our troops are also very vigilant, they are not as good as the troops from other people's side. I found out that during the time we were eating, the guard regiment brought by Comrade Han Yunhua had already set up three blockade lines on the outskirts of the village, and at the same time arranged nearly 30 secret sentinels. ”

Mr. Peng said with a smile: "I really understand this, on the first day of the trip to Saibei, I was taken aback by their special combat team, the temperature was dozens of degrees below zero, and their special combat team members crawled motionless on the ground for a whole night, and when more than a dozen of us walked in front of those special combat personnel, we didn't find out that someone was hiding near us, we didn't find it, even our guards didn't find it, the quality of the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is really amazing." But don't think that kid is so good, that kid is actually a human being. Don't look at that kid who looks like he's suffered a big loss, but in fact, I'm afraid only he knows what he thinks. ”

"How can I say this, in good conscience, what we want from the Inner Mongolia Military Region is enough to form an army, and even a strengthened version of the group army, this time the chairman and others still insisted on bringing 15,000 war horses and matching weapons and equipment from Saibei, that is a full 15,000 cavalry, and the whole of China has the financial resources to form such a large-scale cavalry force, not even Lao Jiang's side. The loss is obvious, how can it be said that Han Yunhua is a personal essence? Master Liu asked suspiciously.

Mr. Peng smiled and said: "You count carefully who the current senior cadres of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, this is transferred from the 115th Division; Zuo Quan, chief of staff, was transferred from the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army; Looking at Yang Chengwu, Song Shilun, Chen Xilian, Shen Yuquan, and others, not all of them were transferred from us or the New Fourth Army, but on the surface, we got benefits, and a middle and high-ranking cadre was exchanged for more than a dozen regiments of troops, which was a good deal. But think about it on the other hand, in fact, the Inner Mongolia Military Region is not losing money, the Inner Mongolia Military Region is already weak, and there are only a few small company commanders such as Li Dayong left in addition to Han Yunhua and Ye Baoguo, and the most important thing in forming a fighting force is that military cadres are talents, and what the Inner Mongolia Military Region lacks, yes, what is lacking is talent. Although more than a dozen infantry regiments are really exciting, but people have replaced more than 100 of our backbone cadres, look at the current division and brigade commanders of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, basically all of them were transferred from our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, and even that bastard boy dug a lot of corners of the chairman's wall, hehehe, amazing"...,

"I really think it's the same thing when I hear the boss say this, think about it, although that kid was really good before, and fighting a war is also a good material, but the speed of development of their Inner Mongolia Military Region is far less rapid than in the last two years, since a large number of military and political cadres were transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, that bastard's troops have grown like a snowball. It can be seen that those cadres are very important to their military region, and it seems that we have all been tricked by that kid, and the future is terrifying," Political Commissar Deng said with emotion.

"Hehehe, it's true, but we didn't suffer a loss, the strength of more than a dozen regiments is indeed not a small number, and that bastard didn't fill the number indiscriminately, all of them were elite, so let's talk about it this time, don't look at him He only left one infantry regiment for your 129th Division, but I believe that the infantry regiment singled out the ten regiments of your 129th Division is not a topic at all, do you see those hundreds of special combat members, these are the people, last time Mr. Zhu was cheeky, but he dug less than two hundred people with that bastard, This time, 800 people were sent over at once, if it weren't for the fact that people were worried about their wives, would you think they would give you such an elite? This kid is very kind, and he is generous, he definitely needs our help when he comes here this time, and we have to help him with this elite infantry regiment. Mr. Peng said

Han Yunhua didn't know that Mr. Peng talked about him for half a night, and he slept very soundly this night, and he was refreshed when he slept.

In the following week, according to Mr. Peng's arrangement, Han Yunhua conducted a relatively careful inspection and visit to the various defense areas of the Eighth Route Army, including the two main brigades of 385 and 386. During this period, Han Yunhua learned that although the Eighth Route Army now has only three infantry divisions, it has more than 50 infantry brigades, as well as more than 80 independent regiments, recruit regiments and other troops, with a total number of more than 700,000 people, which is twice as many troops as in history.

After visiting, Han Yunhua had an intuitive feeling about the combat effectiveness of all units of the Eighth Route Army, and the combat effectiveness of all units of the Eighth Route Army has improved a lot compared with three years ago, but the combat capability of individual soldiers has decreased by not a little bit, and the will to fight is not as good as before. However, this is also inevitable, after all, there are now more troops, but there are fewer and fewer veterans, and the most direct result of the serious consumption of veterans is that the unit's individual combat capability has declined by a large margin, and this phenomenon is not only in the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, but also in any unit, including the once invincible Imperial Japanese Army.

The weapons and equipment of the various units of the Eighth Route Army are also of different levels, and the weapons and equipment of some units are not worse than those of the main force of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, while some units are much worse, just like the new second regiment of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division, which is composed of an infantry battalion and more than 300 recruits drawn from the 770 regiment half a year ago, and when it was first established, the whole regiment had less than 700 people, and after half a year of development, it has developed into a small regiment of more than 1,200 people. The number of people has increased a lot, but the weapons and equipment of this new second regiment are extremely backward, and there are less than 200 38 large covers in the whole regiment, and there are more than 300 formal rifles, and the rest are all old sleeves made by Hanyang, and they are still not up to one manpower. In addition, the regiment had only 1 heavy machine gun, 5 light machine guns, and 1 mortar, and the ammunition was also seriously insufficient.

Such a unit can only fight a dozen ambush battles, harass the Japanese puppet army, and even a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army can't eat, and fighting positional warfare is simply a joke, and there are more than a dozen such regiments in the 129th Division.

However, Han Yunhua still admires Master Liu and others, the Eighth Route Army has expanded nearly twenty times in just four years, this kind of development speed is no wonder Lao Jiang panics, and it may be difficult for anyone to bear it. Not to mention that there is still the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the north of the country, and the New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River.

Hearing that the Inner Mongolia Military Region wanted to unify the paper money of the northern base areas, Mr. Peng and Mr. Liu both had some concerns, but in the end they both agreed to support Han Yunhua's economic reform. In addition, Han Yunhua's request for cadre rotation was also agreed, but the Inner Mongolia Military Region had to regularly support a batch of ammunition for the Eighth Route Army, which was only ammunition, not weapons.

The Eighth Route Army now has a lot of troops, but the ammunition is extremely scarce, and the production of its own production is far from satisfying the consumption, so he had to open his mouth to Han Yunhua, the output of the Baotou Arsenal Peng Lao is always clear, he knows that as long as he can get the output of the Baotou Arsenal for a month, then it is enough for all the troops of the Eighth Route Army to consume for half a year. …,

However, they did not know that Han Yunhua had seized a large number of weapons and equipment production lines in the past year, and had also built a huge arsenal in Ordos and Zhangjiakou in Suixi, and had also set up a heavy arsenal and a large warehouse in Daqingshan, Xinghe County. At present, there is an arsenal for the production of ammunition in each military subdivision of the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region, although it cannot produce guns, but it can produce ammunition to meet the needs of combat, so Han Yunhua readily agreed to the request put forward by Mr. Peng.

After staying in the southern Hebei region for more than a week, Han Yunhua went back, and originally he wanted to take a look at the northern Henan region, but the headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region sent a telegram saying that Chen Yun, Cao Juru, and others had arrived in Zhangjiakou.

Hearing that the two economic experts had arrived in the military region, Han Yunhua hurriedly packed up, then said goodbye to Mr. Peng, Master Liu and others, and rushed towards Zhangjiakou.

When he came, he was cautious, but when he returned, Han Yunhua had no intention of restraining at all, a large number of military cards were running rapidly on the official road, and he was not afraid of the trouble of the national government and the little devils looking for him.

The truck stopped and ran forward, although Zhangjiakou was not close to southern Hebei, but Han Yunhua only had less than two days to return to Zhangjiakou.

With the arrival of Chen Yun and Cao Juru, Han Yunhua's economic construction finally officially kicked off. After returning to Zhangjiakou, Han Yunhua urgently summoned Chen Yun and Cao Juru, Cao Juru was okay to say, but he admired Chen Yun, a well-known economic expert of the Republic, Han Yunhua.

Han Yunhua knew that although Chen Yun was also a veteran cadre of the Communist Party and joined the party very early, Chen Yun's main achievements were in the economy, especially in the economic construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so Chen Yun's fame is not very great now. Chen Yun was a native of Qingpu, Jiangsu Province, and participated in the May Day Movement in 1925. He has successively served as Secretary of the Qingpu County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, Director of the Organization Department of the Songpu Special Committee, Shanghai-Nanjing Inspector of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, Member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Agricultural Committee, Secretary of the Shanghai Zhabei and Fannan District Committees of the Communist Party of China, Director of the Organization Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. In 1930 and 1931, he was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee and a member of the Central Committee at the Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In May 1931, he served as secretary of the Central Special Section to protect the security of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China; In September, he was appointed as a member of the provisional central leadership. In 1932, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provisional Central Committee and secretary of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. In 1933, it entered the central ** base area. In 1934, at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he was elected as a member of the Political Bureau and Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and served as the head of the White District Work Department. Subsequently, he participated in the Long March, served as the representative of the Central Committee of the Red Fifth Army Corps, which was responsible for the rearguard of the whole army, and later served as the political commissar of the column of the Military Commission. In April 1937, he returned to Dihua (now Urumqi) in Xinjiang and served as the representative of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Xinjiang. After returning to Yan'an in November, he served as the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In terms of party and government, Chen Yun's position is a little higher than Han Yunhua's, but Chen Yun is only in charge of the economy and rarely interferes in the military field, so after the Central Military Commission passed consultations before being transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, it was finally decided to appoint Chen Yun as the first deputy secretary of the Northern Bureau and the first deputy political commissar of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, in charge of the economic construction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

For the name Han Yunhua, Chen Yun is like thunder, there are many people who don't know Han Yunhua in Yan'an, but there are almost no people who have not heard the name Han Yunhua, even the ears of Kuomintang spies and Japanese spies are about to be ground out of the cocoon. But he has never seen this newly rising communist upstart due to work problems, when he saw Han Yunhua at first glance, his first feeling was that he was young, although Han Yunhua is now 27 years old, but that face looks about 21 or 22 years old at most, in northern dialect, the face is very tender.

But Chen Yun didn't dare to underestimate this Commander Han, he knew the achievements of this Commander Han clearly, and now the Japanese generals in the Yan'an prisoner camp had a strange expression when they mentioned the name Han Yunhua, and he still remembers it very well. Before leaving, he also went to the Central Special Branch to check the resume of this Han commander, the resume is very simple, just record Han Yunhua's name, age, ethnicity, etc., but there is nothing else, but there is a combat report about the Inner Mongolia Military Region that has attracted Chen Yun's attention, and it just so happens that the secrecy level above is 3A, which is still within the scope of his authorization. …,

After reading the battle report, Chen Yun was extremely surprised in his heart, a military region fought against a front army of the Japanese army, and almost wiped out others, and even the commander of the front army of the other army became a ghost, no wonder those generals of the Japanese army mentioned Han Yunhua and the Inner Mongolia Military Region in addition to gritting their teeth, the only expression left was deep fear.

The atmosphere in which Chen Yun and Han Yunhua met was very harmonious, and in Han Yunhua's office, the two of them chatted like old friends.

"Commander, this trip to southern Hebei seems to have gained a lot, as long as the 129th Division and the entire Eighth Route Army support our military region in issuing banknotes, then the economy of our military region will be promising." After all, Chen Yun is engaged in economics, and he can see the secret at a glance.

Han Yunhua smiled and said: "Hehehe, that's Mr. Peng and Master Liu are willing to help, of course, the price paid by our military region is also big enough, but when you allocate a whole elite infantry regiment to the 129th Division this time, in addition to about two regiments of weapons and equipment, there is no way to ask for help."

"Commander's deep way of investment, you have done a good deal, who is the richest person in the world, of course, the person who opened a bank, as long as our military region is recognized by all the base areas, the right to issue banknotes will be in our hands at that time, and I am afraid that there will be no money at that time?" Chen Yun said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, the matter of the future when the banknotes are issued, of course, it will not be long in coming, and now our most important thing is to set up the Saibei Bank, and we will sum it up first, what do you see?" Han Yunhua said.

Chen Yun said: "Hehehe, this is a good thing, but opening a bank is not a simple matter, and many of the links still need to be discussed." ”

Although the external threat still exists, the Japanese puppet army will not dare to start a war with us in the short term, so the focus of our military region will be divided into two parts, the first part is the reorganization and intensive training of the troops, and this part has been handed over to the second-level army subdivisions to start arranging. The other is economic construction, I plan to set up the Ministry of Economic Development of Saibei, referred to as the Ministry of Economy, with Brother Chen as the minister, and in addition to the establishment of the Bank of Saibei and the development of the economy and all other things related to economic development. Han Yunhua simply said his thoughts to Chen Yun......,
