Hu Fei invited a guest in a restaurant in Yuci County and raised 500,000 silver dollars for military expenses. Of course, since these people who came can say it, then there must be so many of them.

There are also people who are forced to say a big number, but in fact, they don't have that much liquidity in their hands. The officers in charge of collecting the money in the 88th Column asked these people to write IOUs and put their handprints on them, and converted the fixed assets into cash as much as possible, and then they came to collect the debts after today. The fact that IOUs were raised to raise military expenses shows how resolute the attitude of the 88th Column in this money-collecting action is.

Hu Fei said: There is money to pay, but there is no money to pay. In fact, there is another sentence that he didn't say but is more famous, that is, he has money to contribute power. For some people who don't contribute much money, but don't have much food on hand, then Hu Fei has to work hard.

The police chief and the gangsters in the county town don't pay much. The police chief donated 5,000 and the gangster leader contributed 6,000, but these two people can help. After the banquet was over, Hu Fei talked to the two alone.

"Both of them are the leaders of black and white in Yuci County, and the amount of today's donation seems to be a bit incompatible with the identities of the two, right?"

The police chief and the gangster leader were sweating on their heads, they paid too little, and Commander Hu was not satisfied!

The director wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and there was a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, thinking about how much more money to donate. The gangster leader was a little bolder, and he explained to Hu Fei hard: "I know that the money this time is not too much, but I really don't have that much money!" If Commander Hu is really not satisfied, it is a big deal that I will go back and sell the house and donate another 5,000 yuan! ”

"Huh. Anti-Japanese War donations, that is, more donations, less donations, but it doesn't mean that the normal life of anyone's family can't be maintained, right? There is no need to sell houses and land, we are the national army, an army that fights for the country and our people. Well, I'll give you an idea: Aren't there police officers at the police station? Director Wang can't stop mobilizing hundreds of policemen to serve as soldiers? Mr. Zhang can also find hundreds of subordinates to join the army. ”

Here, Hu Fei is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, and what he says is the holy decree! When the police chief and the gangster leader went back, they each gathered their subordinates, and in less than half a day, they each brought a group of people to the 88th detachment to sign up for the army.

Two hundred and fifty policemen came to the police station, and one hundred and eighteen gangsters came! These people add up to a battalion. Hu Fei was very happy, and organized the 430 people into four companies on the spot, and let the former Taiyuan City gangster leader Brush serve as the battalion commander of this infantry battalion.

At the beginning, Hu Fei absorbed the gangster leader brush and big mouth into the team in Taiyuan, and the big mouth died in Wanjialing, only the brush has a big life, and it has been followed until now.

Brush, formerly known as Yang Jinkai, has been Cheng Laogang's subordinate since joining Hu Fei's team, and now he has been promoted to the position of deputy battalion commander with his combat bravery and repeated exploits, and is Cheng Laogang's deputy. This is a gangster himself, so it is really fitting for him to manage the gangsters.

The only thing I regret is the police. How can it be said that people are also white road figures who maintain social order, and now not only have they become comrades-in-arms with the gangsters, but their leader is still a bigger gangster leader, which makes people emotionally unacceptable.

The policemen who were in the national army reported the situation to the chief. Although the director didn't join the national army, we have always been your subordinates before, and you also sent you to join the national army, so you can't leave it alone if you have a problem, right?

Hu Fei's troops haven't left yet, so they don't care if they send people over, how can Director Wang explain to the families of those subordinates? The police are no different from other professions, and the 250 policemen sent by Director Wang to join the army are all locals of Yuci County. If you don't appease them, when Hu Fei leaves in the future, the family members of more than 200 families will come to the door, and he, the police chief, can't afford to be guilty.

In the end, there was no choice, Director Wang had no choice but to discuss with Hu Fei: Commander Hu, do you think someone else will be the battalion commander? The name you are looking for this Battalion Commander Yang is really too big, and many of the recruits I sent over have heard of Battalion Commander Yang's prestige in Taiyuan City back then, and everyone has a lot of opinions about this.

"Director Wang, as the police chief, you are blatantly interfering in the selection of cadres in the army, this problem is not ordinary. If you want to leave it to an unreasonable army commander, you can be dragged out and killed with just these few words! Fortunately, I'm not that kind of person. ”

Hu Fei's words almost didn't scare the police chief! Dare to love yourself, this is sending you to death? Fortunately, Hu Fei finally came to a turning point, otherwise, the police chief estimated that he would have hanged himself!

"Although Captain Yang Jinkai has had a disgraceful experience before, it was also a forced and helpless move by people because of life. Now Battalion Commander Yang is a dignified captain and officer of the national army, who fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the battlefield and made many military exploits, and he is a hero of the party-state. ”

"Still, you can understand your concerns. In this case, I will make an exception for you, and let you, the police chief, be transferred to my unit as the deputy battalion commander to assist Battalion Commander Yang in managing the troops. Your police subordinates have you to take care of them, so they probably can rest assured, right? It's Director Wang, you're a little older, but as long as you're healthy and disease-free, it's fine. ”

Hu Fei patted Director Wang's shoulder, with the posture of a senior officer caring about his subordinates.

"I have had old stomach problems for many years, and my stomach always hurts when it's cold and hot, and when I eat cold and hard things. And my foot, which broke my neck when it rained last year, is still not good enough to run. "The police chief is a good person, and when he heard Hu Fei talk about his age and body, he immediately remembered his problem. I'm afraid my illness is not suitable for joining the army, right?

"Stomach problems? Ankle injury? Haha, that's a coincidence, I happen to have a military doctor here who specializes in treating these two diseases. After joining the army, Director Wang can still cure his chronic illness for many years by the way, which is a great thing to kill two birds with one stone! ”

Hu Fei was in a good mood, but Director Wang was bitter. I wanted to say something good for those subordinates who were about to go to the battlefield to fight, but I ended up putting myself in! It's still the gangster leader who is smart, after this guy sent people over, he ran out of the city and went back to the countryside to avoid it for a while. made Hu Fei unable to find his stubble.

On the night when the police chief enlisted, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Cheng Laozhuan, came to report: The devil troops ten miles away from the county seat began to move! Not only that, according to the informant, the Japanese army stationed in Dongyang also showed signs of dispatching the mixed 9th Brigade! The Japanese army is about to press the border, and Yuci County is full of rumors.
