The father of his regiment leader is really powerful, not to mention the people who send him from time to time. After all, the most valuable thing now is human life. But those weapons and equipment are different.

The chief of staff had inspected all the weapons and equipment one by one. It was not a gun with a barrel that was almost smoothed out, but a new gun that only smelled of gun oil.

Boxes of arms were transported into the military camp. The chief of staff suspected that the regimental commander's father had moved these weapons and equipment one by one from the Japanese army's warehouse.

The chief of staff and Wang Zhangmao thought about sending some of the weapons sent to Shaanxi. However, Wang Zhangmao's father seemed to be very familiar with Wang Zhangmao's regiment, and not a single weapon was redundant.

The chief of staff said: "Your father has spent so much effort to expand this regiment into a division. What is his plan?"

Wang Zhangmao said: "What else could it be? Aren't they my two unlucky brothers!"

Wang Zhangmao also told the story that he had two younger brothers serving as officers in the puppet army. He also said that when the army was expanded into a division, his younger brothers would lead the troops in an uprising and add more to his own army.

The chief of staff couldn't help but gasped after hearing this, and said: "Your father really dares to think about it. Although the weapons and equipment of the troops brought by your brother are not bad, they are all traitors of the Japanese army. In our army, they are considered traitors.

People are shouting to be beaten!”

Wang Zhangmao also knew that there would be some soldiers who couldn't figure it out. He was a little depressed and said: "Although those people are not our comrades, they are regular troops organized by the North China government, and their weapons and equipment are still good. Although we now compare with the army

It's not that much different. But if we expand into a division, it will be less. The arrival of these weapons and equipment can also relieve our pressure!"

The chief of staff nodded, but he was still worried.

Wang Zhangmao said: "Chief of Staff, you don't have to worry too much. We are all Chinese and there is no problem in this national justice. And didn't my father go through Chongqing? He also said that from now on our monthly military pay will be paid.

They will all be distributed on time. Doesn’t this solve our biggest problem now? This should make you happy.”

The chief of staff couldn't help but admire the ability of Wang Zhangmao's father Wang Wenwu. He was worthy of being an official from the Beiyang period until now. It still matters whether he is an official in BJ or in Chongqing! It's okay if you don't accept this!

The chief of staff said: "Commander, can our military pay be paid this month?"

Wang Zhangmao shook his head and said: "I don't know, and I don't know if my father will help me pay for this. Alas!"

The chief of staff said: "As long as military pay can be paid this month, nothing will happen. What we are most afraid of now is that we don't even have military pay. There are so many people who have to eat and drink. If there is no military pay, something will happen in a few days."

"

Wang Zhangmao couldn't help but nodded. This was also his biggest headache. He had been asking his superiors when the military pay would be paid out. But the superiors always ignored him.

What Wang Zhangmao wants now is to bring in more money. As long as the money comes in, he can stabilize the team. But he has no idea at all.

So at this time Wang Zhangmao couldn't help but said: "Chief of Staff, is there any way to get more money in?"

The chief of staff said: "There's really nothing I can do about this! It's just where our troops are stationed. If the war hadn't started, who would know where this place is?"

On weekdays, there is not even a passerby. The only valuable thing in our army is food, but can that food be exchanged? If we don’t plant some land on the side, let alone military pay, the army will probably starve to death!

Who else in our army has the extra money to support so many people except you, a young master from a rich family?"

Wang Zhangmao said as if mumbling to himself: "My dad, will you give me money?"

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Captain, I don't know about that. After all, raising a regiment of people is not a small sum of money. Although your father is an official, according to you,

If you are not a high-ranking official, even if you can be greedy, how much can you be greedy for? Besides, you must have used a lot of connections in Chongqing!"

Wang Zhangmao also knew this truth, but he really had no other choice. After being silent for a moment, he asked again: "Can we just wait for the money to come down from above?"

The chief of staff sighed: "Commander, what other good ideas do you have besides this? I'm all ears.

From a big picture perspective, the entire country is at war now, and its finances are very difficult. From a small perspective, we are not directly affiliated with the central government. In terms of military pay and weapons, who else can get replenishment on time except those who are directly affiliated with the central army!"

After Wang Zhangmao heard this, he felt even more depressed. He felt like he had entered a dead end, with walls on all sides and no way out. He felt that his pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and time was getting tighter. He felt

You must come up with a solution within a short period of time, otherwise your troops will face a huge crisis.

Wang Zhangmao thought for a while, and then asked: "Then can we think of other ways? For example, robbery or something?"

The chief of staff was startled: "Commander, how can you say such a thing? We are a regular army, how can we do such illegal things? Doing so will not only violate the law, but also arouse public outrage. This will be detrimental to the troops."

There is no benefit. What’s more important is your belief. Your belief will not allow you to commit such a crime!"

After Wang Zhangmao heard this, he felt that it was really inappropriate to do this. Although they were an army now, they could not do such things casually. Wang Zhangmao sighed, feeling that he really had no choice.

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "Regiment Commander, Chief of Staff, we just got the news that people from the military region are here with our military pay!"

When the two heard the news, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. The thing they had been worried about was finally solved! The money was certainly not a lot after many deductions, but it was enough for them to cope with it for a while.

Wang Zhangmao and the chief of staff quickly ordered the soldiers to distribute military pay to everyone.

In the next few days, although some soldiers were still dissatisfied and complained, their emotions gradually stabilized after seeing the military pay being distributed.

At this time, Wang Zhangmao thought of another way: he decided to raise some money from local landowners and wealthy businessmen. Although this may cause some backlash and dissatisfaction, it is also a feasible way for the current predicament of the army.

So Wang Zhangmao discussed the specific plan and wording with the chief of staff, and then sent some soldiers to carry out the task. Although the landlords and wealthy businessmen reluctantly paid some money, under the strength and threat of Wang Zhangmao's troops, they

I also had to compromise.
