Luo Zhuoying took a telegram just sent by his staff and handed it to Gao Hongming, who was taking a break from his busy schedule to have tea with Du Yuming.
"This is the telegram just sent by the 200th Division. The 56th Division's attack is still very fierce. Gao Jiwen still feels a lot of pressure."
Gao Hongming put down his tea cup and took the telegram. After reading it, he handed it to Du Yuming while he frowned and pondered.
"Brother Gao, it seems to me that the strength of the two battalions is indeed a bit low.
Gao Jiwen said in the telegram that the 200 Division currently has less than 4,000 combatable troops. Do you think you can increase the number of troops?"
Gao Hongming didn't speak, but rubbed his sore and numb temples.
Finally, he took out a cigarette and threw the cigarette case on the table. As soon as he put the cigarette into his mouth, Luo Zhuoying beside him had already taken out a lighter and lit it for him.
"Brother Gao, you saw it too.
The strength of the expeditionary force has been stretched to its limit. Although the country can mobilize troops, it may not be enough in time, and it will have to ask the commissioner for instructions.
Now you are the only one who has well-trained and well-equipped troops on hand."
Du Yuming also said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, as long as you help me and Brother You Qing, even if we owe you a favor, in the future, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"
Looking at Du Yuming's expectant eyes, Gao Hongming thought carefully for a while before saying: "Brother Guangting, Chief Gao, you also know that my family is not as wealthy as yours.
Besides, I gave up my family and career to raise this army, and they are also the foundation for me to garrison the Japanese army in the future. If we lose too much, it will not be easy to replace it, so..."
Seeing Gao Hongming's hesitant expression, Du Yuming, who had a somewhat impatient temper, couldn't help but said: "Brother Gao, just tell me, what are the conditions before you are willing to send troops?"
"I only have one condition."
Gao Hongming stretched out an index finger.
"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, when I go to Japan to garrison, if I ask these two brothers for something, you two cannot refuse for any reason."
"impossible!"
Du Yuming refused without even thinking.
"Brother Gao, I won't agree if I'm not a brother. I really don't have the right.
Who dares to agree to your request except the Chairman?
Besides, brother, I am just a small military commander, so how can I have the guts to promise you anything randomly?
Besides, you have such a good relationship with Commander Yan and the Jinsui Army in Shanxi, wouldn’t it be more convenient to approach them if you have something to do?”
Although Du Yuming's temper was a bit irritable, he was not stupid.
If I agree to Gao Hongming's conditions now, it means that no matter what Gao Hongming asks me to do in the future, I will have to agree unconditionally. Isn't this putting a shackle on my neck?
Looking at Du Yuming's slightly sarcastic face, Gao Hongming touched his nose. Obviously, he also knew that he was a little bit open-mouthed.
But it doesn’t matter, when it comes to business, isn’t it just a matter of asking for prices and paying back the money when you get it done?
"Okay then, let's each take a step back. If I ask for something from these two brothers in the future, as long as it doesn't violate conscience and morality or violate national justice, you two are not allowed to refuse. What do you think?"
Looking at the persevering Gao Hongming, Du Yuming was angry and funny at the same time, "Brother Gao, you've got Brother You Qing and me."
Luo Zhuoying smiled and said nothing. Although Gao Hongming was talking about the two of them, he had a vague feeling that Gao Hongming's real target was Du Yuming.
Gao Hongming curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by killing you? Sir Du, please don't accuse me unjustly. I am the leader of a small militia. Even if I take the courage of a leopard, I will not dare to attack you two commanders. I am so
It’s just a matter of taking precautions and making plans in advance.”
Du Yuming couldn't restrain his curiosity: "Brother Gao, tell me the truth, what do you want to do?
Don't look down on me and use the head of a vigilante group as an excuse.
With your current strength, even Commander Yan has to be polite to you. Although Brother You Qing and I are considered to be human beings, we would never dare to compare with Commander Yan.
Is there something that even you and Commander Yan can't handle, so why do you have to involve me and Commander Luo?"
"Secrets must not be leaked." Of course it was impossible for Gao Hongming to tell them that he was plotting against them.
Who are Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming?
One of them graduated from the gunnery department of the eighth phase of Baoding Army Officer School, and the other was a top student who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu.
Although he cannot be said to be a giant in the national army, he is definitely a pillar of talent.
What he has to do now is to prepare for what will happen after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he wanted to occupy territory on Ryukyu Island.
I don't have to worry about supplies or anything like that. After all, I have saved some wealth in the past few years, and with the golden finger in hand, I don't have to panic.
What I am most worried about now is talent.
Even though the garrison in Okinawa is as simple as a sentence, there are too many things to consider, and there are so many things that if you rely on just one person, you won't be able to do it even if you are exhausted.
And who are Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming? They are veterans who have been in the officialdom for decades. They are good hands whether they are leading troops or engaging in politics. If such people are willing to follow him to Okinawa, they can
How much peace of mind it saves you.
What? Win over Yan Laoxi and the generals of the Jin-Sui Army in Okinawa?
Are you kidding me? The Liantai Militia was developed by the people from Liantai County and Shanxi.
If you really want to get Yan Laoxi and the generals of the Jinsui Army to Okinawa, with their prestige in Shanxi and the Jinsui Army, they will definitely stage a drama of occupying the magpie's nest in the future. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble for yourself?
He's not that stupid.
He looked at Gao Hongming, who was looking at him with his arms folded across his chest, half-smiling but not smiling.
Du Yuming was really dumbfounded, so he could only nod his head, "Okay, I owe you a big favor for today's incident, but at worst, I will pay you back with my life in the future."
Gao Hongming nodded and turned to look at Luo Zhuoying.
Luo Zhuoying saw that Du Yuming had agreed, what else could he say, he could only say helplessly: "Since Guangting has agreed to you, what else can I say.
But there is one thing, we will not do things for you that harm the country and the people, otherwise don’t blame me, brother, I will fall out!"
Seeing that Luo Zhuoying had taken the lead in getting vaccinated, Gao Hongming couldn't help but dumbfounded.
"Sir Luo, where are you thinking? Go to Liantai County and ask about my reputation in Shanxi. How could I do bad things?"
"Not always."
Luo Zhuoying smiled and said: "I have found out clearly that when the Gao family was here, you did a lot of bad things in Liantai County. You really thought I didn't know."
"I%￥#@"
Gao Hongming didn't know how to refute for a moment, but that was a bad thing done by his predecessor, and it has nothing to do with me.
