When Wang Wenwu received the message, he jumped up with joy. The most difficult step had been completed. All that was left was to follow the steps.

Wang Wenwu quickly sent a message back to Guo Bao, asking him to take the news to Wang Zhangmao quickly and let him prepare.

After Guo Bao left the house, he hurried to Wang Zhangmao's regiment headquarters. Although Guo Bao felt that 50 million was not a small amount, he had never seen such a large sum of money.

Wang Zhangmao's regiment headquarters was not far from the Japanese. Behind his regiment headquarters was the Central Army. Wang Zhangmao's troops were sandwiched between the Central Army and the Japanese.

There is no way to make Wang Zhangmao's troops belong to the Northwest Army. Because the commander above him is ineffective, personnel, weapons and ammunition replenishment, etc. are all under the control of the central military, so his troops have always been in a rather embarrassing position.

Fortunately, the Japanese are no longer what they were like at the beginning of the war. They no longer have the strong desire to attack as they did at the beginning of the war. Therefore, there are often small frictions, but no major battles occur.

Moreover, Wang Zhangmao never imagined that his father, who was far away in BJ, would send him weapons, ammunition and personnel from time to time. Although most of these people were bandits, this made Wang Zhangmao's regiment a useful supplement.

This makes Wang Zhangmao's regiment considered to be strong among the entire Northwest Army. However, such a large number of people also leads to monthly military pay problems. Wang Zhangmao had to rack his brains to find a way. He once thought

I applied for military pay from the Central Army, but due to the sequence of my troops, the Central Army always delayed.

It was time to pay wages again, but even the minimum requirements had not been met on the regiment's books. This caused the young Wang Zhangmao to lose a lot of hair.

At this time, an adjutant came to report, saying that his father sent people here. Wang Zhangmao didn't know how his father's people came all the way from BJ, but at this time, Wang Zhangmao felt both surprised and headache.

Surprisingly, when his father Wang Wenwu sent people to the regiment headquarters, there was usually no bad news. They would either send a group of people or a batch of weapons and ammunition.

The troublesome thing is that my regiment can no longer even pay military salaries. It has sent so many things, but I can't convert them into combat effectiveness.

At Wang Zhangmao's urging, the adjutant quickly brought Guo Bao in.

Seeing Guo Bao, Wang Zhangmao was stunned. He had never seen this man before. He handed Guo a cup of tea and asked, "Well, what should I call him?"

Guo Bao put down the water glass in his hand and said, "Guo Bao, young master, just call me by my name."

Wang Zhangmao nodded and said, "What's the name of the horse captain who used to come here often?"

As expected, he is indeed the master's cub. He looks exactly the same in his cautious manner.

Guo Bao said: "My name is Ma Enxin, young master!"

Wang Zhangmao asked again: "How is my mother doing now? Is she okay? Last time there was news from home that she was sick, but she didn't say what kind of disease she had. What disease did my mother get last time?"

Guo Bao smiled and said: "Young master, don't worry. Although you have never seen me, I am indeed sent here by the master."

Wang Zhangmao said: "I know. Come on, let's talk about our mother again. How is she doing now?"

Guo Bao said: "Master, your mother is no longer here."

Wang Zhangmao nodded and said: "What does father want you to do this time? It would be best to give you some money. I can hardly support myself now."

Guo Bao said: "I will tell you this, but I will tell you the main purpose of my visit this time. I have found a way to establish connections in Chongqing. At that time, I will use the group in your hand as the basis and expand it to

A division. Although the central government will not be able to provide much in terms of personnel, weapons and ammunition, at least it can solve one or two problems in terms of military pay."

Wang Zhangmao said: "My father is really powerful. From BJ, he can remotely control the distance to Chongqing. But where can I find people and equipment?"

Guo Bao said: "You don't have to worry about this, young master. Your brothers Wang Zhangpei and Wang Zhangmao are now in the army of the North China government, and they are already the regiment commanders. When the time comes, they will revolt and enter your regiment. When the time comes, master

I'll find a way to recruit a group of troops for you, and I'll get three regiments of troops for you. Although it's not a strong army, at least the frame is set up, isn't it?"

Wang Zhangmao couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this. But he still had a lot of doubts.

Wang Zhangmao said: "If their regiments are similar to mine, then the three regiments will be more than 7,000 people. They can indeed form a division. Then how many men and horses do you need for a division?"

Guo Bao said: "According to the Central Army's regulations, a division directly under the jurisdiction of the division headquarters plus three infantry regiments has a full strength of 8,000 people. However, this is only the official establishment. As for how many people there are privately, that is another matter.

Don't worry about it. Otherwise, how could there be so many factions within this large national army? Let's see if we can afford it!"

Wang Zhangmao couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "In other words, these 8,000 people are just an excuse to ask the central government for money!"

Just when Guo Bao was about to continue saying something to Wang Zhangmao, he saw a guard coming in to report that the chief of staff was here.

Upon seeing this, Guo Bao said: "Master, your chief of staff is here. I will take my leave first. I will go and tell the master about your problem now!"

Wang Zhangmao nodded and said, "Okay."

After Guo Bao left, Wang Zhangmao called the chief of staff and asked him to rush to each battalion to convey the news and have everyone return to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

The chief of staff couldn't help but said: "Commander, our regiment is only two days away from the pay! Compared with these, let's find a way to solve the problem of military pay! They are the same for our comrades. The first and second battalions are easy to solve. But

If those bandits in the Third Battalion are not paid, those rough guys will start a riot."

Wang Zhangmao said: "Just now I asked someone from my family to send a telegram to my father to see if I could get some from him, so as to fool this month away. When the time comes, we will expand from a regiment to a division.

The central government will release military pay."

The chief of staff was not optimistic about this and said: "Don't be so optimistic. Logically speaking, our military pay should have been paid long ago. Look at what it is like now. I guess it will still be like this by then. Everything depends on yourself.

Think of ways to."

Wang Zhangmao disagreed and said: "Otherwise, my father has found connections in Chongqing, so they don't have to worry about personnel and equipment. They won't even make military noise? How is it possible? My father found this.
Chapter completed!
