Chapter 51 The Military and Political Department Comes
"Zi appointed Gao Hongming of Liantai County, Shanxi Province as the colonel commander of the 668th Regiment of the Sixth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the Liantai County militia under his command was also reorganized into the 668th Regiment... This is the case! July 28, the 28th year of the Republic of China
Japanese Minister: He Yingqin"
After reading it, Zhou Ziruo looked at Gao Hongming with a smile and waited for him to take the letter of appointment with his hands.
However, after a while, the other party still did not take action. At first, he thought that Gao Hongming, a guy from a small county, did not know the rules, so he reminded him softly: "Congratulations to Commander Gao, please accept this letter of appointment."
The people around him all stopped talking and looked at Gao Hongming quietly. Many people showed envy on their faces. He suddenly changed from a self-proclaimed leader of a local militia to a regular colonel of the national army who was fed by the emperor.
Long, this is something that many people dream of.
It's just that Gao Hongming's reaction was a little strange.
"Please wait a moment..."
Gao Hongming said slowly, "Director Zhou, before accepting this letter of appointment, I have a few questions that I would like to ask clearly. No comment?"
Although Zhou Ziruo was a little unhappy in his heart, he still had a smile on his face: "Of course, Captain Gao can say whatever he wants."
"Director Zhou, I would like to ask, if I accept this letter of appointment, will all my actions from now on be subject to the command of the higher-ups, and I will no longer be able to move freely from now on?"
"Of course." Zhou Ziruo said without thinking: "The state-owned legal family has family rules, and the army has iron-clad discipline. If everyone in the national army can move freely and discipline is loose, how can we win the war? Commander Gao,
You are also a soldier, you should know this truth, right?"
When he said this, Zhou Ziruo spoke righteously and looked awe-inspiring.
Gao Hongming sneered in his heart, and then asked: "Okay, I understand. There is another question. If I accept the adaptation, will all the military shoes, uniforms and all supplies for the army be issued by the central government?"
"Well...theoretically, this is the case." When talking about this issue, Zhou Ziruo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But the current national situation is difficult, no one can guarantee that military pay and equipment can be issued on time, and I still hope that Commander Gao will
Be considerate.”
"Director Zhou, there is something I have to tell you in advance." Gao Hongming casually called over the soldier who was passing by: "Sir, come here."
The soldier ran over and saluted him: "Hello, Captain!"
"Tell him, how much is your monthly military pay?"
The superior soldier loudly said: "Sir, my monthly military salary is three oceans, two sets of military uniforms and two pairs of military shoes every year, and there are also casualty pensions, etc."
"Okay, go and do your work."
After sending the superior soldier away, Gao Hongming said to Zhou Ziruo: "Director Zhou, after our regiment accepts the reorganization, will the military pay and treatment provided by the national army remain the same?"
"How can this be?"
Zhou Ziruo's face turned cold, "Commander Gao, the national army is now all paid in legal tender, and Dayang has stopped using it a long time ago. Are you blatantly violating the central government's ban?"
Facing Zhou Ziruo's slap, Gao Hongming didn't care at all: "I'm sorry, Director Zhou, it's useless for you to tell me about this matter. You have to talk to the thousands of brothers in our group to see if they agree."
"you……"
Zhou Ziruo just took a flight from Chongqing to Kenanpo yesterday. He originally thought it was a good job, but he never thought that this bumpkin who claimed to be the leader of the regiment would not give him any face.
In desperation, he became angry and said: "Gao Hongming, it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. Do you know that if you do this, I have the right to send you to a military court?"
"Wow..."
Zhou Ziruo's words caused an uproar around him, and many people couldn't stand it anymore.
Sun Chu, who had had several contacts with Gao Hongming, said coldly: "Director Zhou, I think you may have made a mistake. Gao Hongming is now just the leader of an autonomous militia. Strictly speaking, he is not a party-state soldier.
, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to force military law on him, right?”
"that is!"
Wang Jingguo, commander of the Thirteenth Group Army, also couldn't stand Zhou Ziruo's behavior, and said solemnly: "He was the one who pulled up Brother Gao's militia, but he didn't use a penny from the central government. This regiment leader is also a self-proclaimed leader.
Moreover, the letter of appointment issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs has not been confiscated, so you are so eager to send them to a military court?"
"you……"
Zhou Ziruo was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't get angry because what he said was not wrong. Gao Hongming hasn't accepted the letter of appointment yet. Why do you use military law to restrain him and threaten to kill him?
Sent to military court.
Yan Xishan watched all this with a smile on his face. From what Zhou Ziruo said just now, he knew that Zhou Ziruo's visit this time was in vain.
As expected, Gao Hongming smiled faintly: "Thank you to the officials in Chongqing for taking a fancy to me. I actually know Mr. Gao thousands of miles away. It's just a pity that Mr. Gao is lazy by nature and is used to being free. I'm afraid I can't stand the constraints."
Furthermore, I am also afraid that one day I will accidentally be sent to a military court for no apparent reason. You must know that I have not yet carried on the ancestral line for our Gao family. What if I accidentally get shot by someone from the Military Justice Department?
I am an unworthy descendant of my family, and my late father will not let me go even if he is in trouble."
"Hahaha……"
After hearing Gao Hongming's self-deprecating words, there was a burst of laughter from all around.
People in this era have a strong sense of local sentiment. As a genuine Shanxi boy, Gao Hongming and Yan Xishan were fellow villagers in Liantai County, so they had long been regarded as one of their own by the generals of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
And now those who are here are either senior generals of the Jinsui Army or celebrities from all walks of life in Shanxi. Zhou Ziruo actually threatens the sons of Shanxi in front of them. Who can bear this?
If it weren't for the concern about identity, someone would have yelled at me long ago.
Seeing Zhou Ziruo's face turning blue and red, Yan Xishan felt that the heat was about the same, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Zhou, Gao Hongming's situation is quite special, and it is really difficult to handle it according to ordinary methods.
Let's put this matter aside for now. You go back and report today's events to Jingzhi (He Yingqin) truthfully. I think he will understand. Besides, our national army has millions of people. How can it be possible without Gao Hongming's mere regiment?
Is there no way to resist Japan? Not necessarily, what do you think?"
"Tsk tsk..."
Gao Hongming secretly admired it from the side, this ginger is still very spicy.
Yan Laoxi's words were mixed together. On the surface, not a single word was a curse, but when they were put together, not a single word was not a mockery of the military and political affairs department's ugly appearance. However, it still made people feel miserable.
, this kind of skill is indescribable without having been around the sea for decades.
