The optimistic spirit of the revolutionary soldiers has once again been perfectly interpreted.
The meeting continued in a relaxed atmosphere.
Even if there are internal and external troubles, wars, and disasters, the optimistic Eighth Route Army cadres and soldiers will still face it calmly.
This is a true warrior.
Dare to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood!
When Ding Wei calmly stated that his new regiment could receive and resettle 8,000 victims, he naturally aroused the exclamation of the cadres.
The things that Kong Jie worked on in the first detachment, whether it was the construction of the army or the development of the economy.
Ding Wei learned from his experience and even improved it into measures more suitable for his new group relationship.
Therefore, the New Regiment Base Area can be said to be the best developed base area besides the Independent Regiment.
Then Captain Xu of the 771st Regiment, Captain Zhou of the new 7th Regiment, including Captain Jiang of the 17th Regiment, and other regiment leaders stood up to speak and reported the number of victims that their respective bases could accommodate. Everyone works together to overcome the difficulties. Your group is responsible for 2,000 people, and my group is responsible for 3,000 people.
Although each independent regiment can only share a small number of disaster victims, the sum added up is not a small number.
In a short time, more than 30 confident group leaders stationed in the Taihang area shared the burden of nearly 50,000 disaster victims.
You must know that this is only the help that the army can provide, and it does not include how many victims can be accommodated in the vast villages around Gendi with the help of villagers.
Of course, not all the group leaders present spoke.
The economic situation in some base areas is really difficult. They can barely maintain the operation of the army by relying on lean troops and streamlined administration, relief from the people, and the army's self-reliance and frugality.
There is simply no extra capacity to resettle the victims.
Everyone understands this very well, and no one will say anything more. Being able to support the troops on their own is already within the capabilities of the regiment leader.
Among the capable group leaders, there is one who has yet to speak up—Kong Jie.
Captain Kong was like a bystander, applauding and cheering along with everyone as a group leader proudly announced the number of victims that could be resettled from time to time.
It wasn't until everyone turned their attention to Kong Jie that Kong Jie realized that among the group leaders who had confidence, he was the only one who had not expressed his stance.
"What does everyone see me doing?"
Facing the gazes of all the cadres, Kong Jie smiled quite calmly.
Captain Xu of the 771st Regiment said: "Old Kong, stop pretending. Although you haven't spoken, who among us doesn't know the situation? In the past two years, your independent regiment has developed the best, and now it is expanding.
Become the first team."
"Let me tell you, how many victims can your independent regiment accommodate?"
When Captain Xu spoke like this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Kong Jie, including Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.
Over the past year or so, everyone has long seen the development pattern of each group.
The regiment that is closest to the Independent Regiment, has business dealings with the Independent Regiment, and has the closest cooperation with the Independent Regiment, often has the best development in the base area.
For this reason, at a discussion meeting on the economic development status of the base area held by the headquarters, the commander once said with a strange look:
"This is really interesting. I don't know if you have noticed that the various regiments we are located in are often close to the independent regiments. Those who have more contact with that boy Kong Jie have relatively better development in the base areas." p>
After saying that, the commander also made a joke: "If I had known this, I would have placed our headquarters directly at the location of his independent regiment."
The brigade commander at the meeting said with a smile: "I have heard Kong Jie mention this. He put forward the idea that getting rich first will lead to getting rich later. It seems to be the case now."
"Often a small circle that gradually develops should first gradually expand around a higher economic point. This is a quite reasonable law of economic operation."
Right now.
Among the group leaders who came to the headquarters for a meeting this time to solve the problem of how to resettle the victims, Kong Jie was a little special.
Because Kong Jie is not only the leader of the independent regiment, but also the leader of the first detachment!
And this time, the only one who came to the first team for the meeting was Kong Jie.
Needless to say, Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Third Independent Regiment, is still fighting guerrillas with the Japanese in Zhongtiao Mountain!
Wang Leihu, the leader of the Second Independent Regiment, and Shen Quan, the leader of the Third Independent Regiment, also did not come.
There seems to be an invisible tacit understanding on this point. Although the first detachment was established, everyone from top to bottom, including the brigade commander and commander, was still accustomed to calling the first detachment an independent regiment.
It seems to give you a more manageable organization. In addition, how did it come about before and how it comes about now.
After all, the entire first team is still a closely connected independent unit just like the independent regiments in the past.
At this meeting, each group leader represents the station under his jurisdiction, which is also an independent individual.
Therefore, from the first team's side, only Kong Jie participated in the meeting this time.
If Shen Quan and Wang Leihu also come, who will be responsible for resettling the victims?
"Lao Kong, please stop being so pretentious and tell us, we can all bear it!"
Captain Feng spoke with a humorous tone.
The eyes of the brigade commander and commander also focused on Kong Jie.
Kong Da honestly smiled helplessly and stretched out a slap with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Five thousand?"
"No, everyone is watching the development of your independent group. It's a bit unreasonable to say that your independent group can only resettle 5,000 disaster victims, right?"
Captain Feng said with a look of astonishment.
Ding Wei, who was sitting next to Kong Jie, came to his senses first and tried to ask: "Old Kong... are you talking about the 50,000 disaster victims?"
Kong Jie nodded calmly: "Yes, fifty thousand, brigade commander, commander, I'm sorry, this is already the maximum number that I can gather the resources of the independent regiment to resettle the victims."
"However, the lives of the folks around our base have improved a lot over the past year. If everyone is willing to help the victims, the number may be doubled."
The next moment.
The entire conference room was silent.
Various thoughts are brewing in the hearts of the cadres, like a stormy sea.
As for Captain Feng, who knew the Independent Regiment quite well and went to the Independent Regiment every now and then, he originally estimated that the Independent Regiment could accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people, which was amazing enough.
But who would have thought that as soon as this old Kong opened his mouth, there would be 50,000 disaster victims.
These are 50,000 disaster victims!
If one person urinates, a small river will flow out.
Even one meal a day can eat up a small mountain.
Even the commander and brigade commander were stunned for a moment.
Everyone knew that Kong Da was really capable, but no one thought that he was so capable.
Li Yunlong, who came back to his senses, was the first to curse:
"Well, you have 50,000 Kong. We have so many regimental leaders and so many bases. Together we can accommodate 50,000 victims. When you asked, it was 50,000. I mean, Lao Kong, you can support dozens of our regiments."
Bah!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Old Li, don't get excited, the resettlement of the victims is about money bags, not combat effectiveness."
"Each of our regiments is based on its own internal strength. I dare not brag about our combat prowess, but if we are comparing money bags, you can touch your chest and ask, which one can compare with my independent regiment?"
"Also, let me ask one more question, which one of you here doesn't owe me money?"
All cadres: "..."
In an instant, the conference room was completely silent...
