Chapter 680 Are You Sending Beggars?
Over the past few days, not only Yuan Shushan has attracted people everywhere, but several "confident" deputy company commanders have also recruited people everywhere, increasing Yuan Shushan's strength in the National Salvation Army.
At 6 pm, when Yuan Shushan returned to the regiment headquarters, the smile on his face was obviously more than when he went out in the morning.
Today he gained another deputy company commander, one platoon leader, two deputy platoon leaders, and the troops they commanded. After a day, he had nearly one company's strength in his hands.
If you can gain four or five confidants and a company's subordinates every day like today, you will have the capital to fight against the team leader for up to ten days.
When he returned to the room, he was about to find a few subordinates to celebrate, Xue Ya suddenly blocked the door of the room and reported anxiously: "Sir, you are back. A secret phone was sent from the war zone two hours ago. I can't leave the regiment headquarters and have no password book. I can only wait for you to come back before dealing with it!"
"You can take a look first. If you need to call back, you can directly come to the telecommunications room to find me."
After listening to it, Yuan Shushan decisively suppressed his inner excitement, took the telegram, looked at Xue Ya and replied calmly: "Xing, I understand. You go back to the communications queue first. If there is anything, I will come to you."
After saying this, he closed the door and didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense to Xue Ya.
Judging from Xue Ya's performance during this period, he vaguely felt that Xue Ya had defected to Zhou Cheng and became his opponent.
But she could only send and receive telegrams between herself and the war zone.
In order to keep it confidential, I personally translated all the secret telegrams during this period. The callbacks to the war zone were translated into telegram codes and then sent to Xue Ya, so that he would not know the telegrams between him and the war zone. Otherwise, he would become a transparent person in front of Zhou Cheng, without any secrets, and the subsequent actions would also fail due to leaks!
This is his only chance to turn the tables in the National Salvation Army. Yuan Shushan definitely doesn't want to give up halfway and eventually becomes a completely useless person.
So no matter what he did during this period, he was wary of Xue Ya.
After translating the telegram, Yuan Shushan instantly felt the huge pressure from the war zone and immediately found a few confidant deputy company commanders.
"Brothers, I just got the news that the Japanese may agree to the conditions for the expansion of the National Salvation Army into an army. In order not to be a traitor, the war zone will allow us to speed up the movement and must win over enough troops before Zhou Cheng publicly surrenders to the enemy. In this way, we can confront Zhou Cheng head-on and replace him when he publicly surrenders to the enemy!" As soon as his confidant arrived, Yuan Shushan introduced the order he had just received to everyone.
"Sir, has the war zone said the specific time when Zhou Cheng surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor?" asked a deputy company commander.
Yuan Shushan shook his head: "No, but I guess it will be only ten days!"
"Child Ze changed. Zhou Cheng already knew that the news of his negotiations with the Japanese was leaked. They would definitely urge the Japanese to reach an agreement as soon as possible and reorganize the troops immediately. Only when the treacherous things are done, will the chance of an accident happening in this matter be minimized."
Another deputy company commander immediately responded: "If Zhou Cheng left us more than ten days, we would definitely be able to attract enough troops to fight against the regiment headquarters and not be traitors!"
"But we must act separately next. You can move freely, so it's better to go to a few garrisons and we will recruit people in our own troops."
"This time, no matter whether the other party is an officer or not, as long as we don't want to be a traitor and have dissatisfaction with the regiment headquarters, we can win over it. The more people the better!"
The command center conference room not far away was also heavily guarded at this moment, and no one could get close to the conference room within thirty meters.
The middle-aged man who had been away for less than two days appeared here again.
Compared with the high spirits and confidence that he had been two days ago, at this moment, his brows were all frowning, and he looked worried with a restless expression.
When he got the call back from the war zone, he realized that today's negotiation would be very difficult, and he might even anger the national rescue army.
If the two sides fail to negotiate, they will definitely be held accountable by the military headquarters. Not only will all previous efforts disappear, but they may also be punished.
Looking at Zhou Cheng who was walking in quickly, the middle-aged man forced a smile to make himself look more natural, and then said: "Captain Zhou, the military headquarters has called me back!"
"The military headquarters agreed to part of the compensation claims made by your army. As for the part that did not agree, we need to discuss it carefully. Because the gap between the requirements of both sides and the bottom line is too big, it is best to give in, find a balance point, and negotiate a condition that both sides can accept."
The middle-aged man's answer was expected by Zhou Cheng.
The reason why the lion spoke out during the last negotiation was that the Japanese could not accept their own conditions.
In this way, their negotiations on reincarnation of the National Rescue Army can continue to continue in bargaining.
He cursed in dissatisfaction with the middle-aged man's eyes: "Why do you have to give in if you don't agree?"
"We agree to turn the position of the commander into the deputy commander, and reduce the establishment of a security brigade. We have already made enough concessions to you. How do we make concessions and not be more demanding? Otherwise, all my previous proposals will be invalidated, and I will be the commander of the security brigade, and the National Rescue Army will also be reduced to a security brigade!"
The middle-aged man quickly explained: "President Zhou, please calm down. You don't have to be angry with me. I'm just a message. If I could make a decision on this matter, I would have agreed to your conditions long ago. I wouldn't have played Tai Chi with you here. After talking for the second time, there was no progress at all!"
"I probably know a little bit about the reason why the military department rejects these conditions."
"You have raised too many 600,000 oceans. Even if the First Japanese Army headquarters in Taiyuan has money, they can't take it out."
"Also, the Military Affairs Department feels that the two aspects you request for compensation have no basis and are very unreasonable, so the compensation for those two aspects must be cancelled!"
"The military salary for your army in one lump sum of three months will also be changed. The previous one was calculated based on the organization of one army. Now the military headquarters only gave you two security brigades. This compensation should of course be reduced by one third, and at most 70,000 oceans will be given to your army."
"Unreasonable?" Zhou Cheng was furious again after hearing this: "Why is it unreasonable? The compensation I have raised is reasonable and well-founded. If you can't afford it, just say it. Let's not talk about it, and don't continue to waste time here!"
"We have suffered a great loss in the previous negotiations. This time, we can't lose anything we say!"
"This matter is not discussed. There are a total of 600,000 oceans, and even a piece of ocean cannot be left behind!"
The middle-aged man stood in front of Zhou Cheng. The two were less than two meters apart, and no one could feel Zhou Cheng's overwhelming anger more than him.
I feel both frustrated and helpless, but who made me just a message and no last say?
But he is not a fool either.
Zhou Cheng was angry. Now he was fighting head-on with him was like seeking death, and the negotiations between the two sides would definitely collapse.
The middle-aged man decided to use a roundabout tactic, slightly change the call from the military headquarters to himself, and give more compensation to the national rescue army, otherwise the two sides would not be able to continue the negotiation.
Continue to comfort Zhou Cheng's angry eyes: "Captain Zhou calms down. The military headquarters just said it is unreasonable. It is not to completely reject the compensation request you made, but to want to compensate you in a different way!"
Hearing this, the angry expression on Zhou Cheng's face slowly sootheed.
Staring at the middle-aged man, he asked, "How to compensate us?"
"For example, the 300,000 oceans of weapons and ammunition were calculated. The military headquarters wanted to directly compensate your army for 4,000 79-caliber rifles, 100 light machine guns, 20 heavy machine guns, ten mortars, and two mountain cannons. They were all seized by the Japanese army on the battlefield. It is guaranteed that each gun is 60% new and can be used by equipment!"
"No!" Zhou Cheng refused without hesitation.
"The equipment of our National Salvation Army is notoriously good. In addition to not having heavy artillery, the equipment of ordinary infantry is better than that of the same number of Japanese. Moreover, the entire army is equipped with all three-eight large covers, crooked handles, heavy machine guns..."
"The Japanese gave me 4,000 79-caliber rifles, and they were 60% new and old weapons and ammunition. The number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars did not meet my requirements. Is this a beggar?"
"What I want is a new gun, a 38-large cover and a crooked handle, not those old equipment that is almost ruined by scrap copper and iron!"
"If the Japanese don't want to compensate us for 300,000 oceans, no problem, just give me all 4,000 38 large covers, 150 light machine guns, 30 heavy machine guns, 30 mortars, six mountain cannons, and six base ammunition."
"This is impossible!" The middle-aged man objected.
"The 38th cover and other Japanese equipment equipped by the Japanese were allocated by the North China Front Command. The number is limited, and the replenishment speed is completely inferior to the consumption speed on the battlefield. I can no longer produce so many weapons and ammunition to compensate you."
"The weapons and ammunition of the 79-caliber caliber were seized by the Japanese on the battlefield. Except for the heavy weapons that are registered, ordinary piercing machine guns are piled into the warehouse after being seized. No one knows their specific number."
"In order not to arouse dissatisfaction from the Front Army Command, the Military Department can only give you 79-caliber weapons and ammunition. Please help Captain Zhou understand some of our difficulties. How about both sides taking a step back?"
Zhou Cheng satisfies the middleman's proposal, thinks for a minute and then answers: "Since you have said that, I agree to use 79-caliber weapons and ammunition to compensate us for the losses."
The middle-aged man was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhou Cheng's words "But..." made him nervous again, staring at Zhou Cheng without blinking, for fear of putting forward any excessive conditions.
Zhou Chengke ignored these things and said bluntly: "However, the new 38th hood cover is still very different from the 60% 70% new 79th rifle, so you must adjust the number of weapons you compensate us!"
"As long as you promise to give me 6,000 days, 79 caliber rifles, 200 light machine guns, forty heavy machine guns, forty mortars, ten mountain cannons or mortars, and five base supporting ammunition, I will agree with your proposal just now!"
