Seeing Su Rui acting like a rogue, Li Zongren couldn't help but laugh. Based on his experience, it was obvious that Su Rui really didn't care about the reaction of the person above him. While sighing secretly, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Su Rui's new born appearance.
A calf is not afraid of a tiger's courage, but since both parties have decided to cooperate, Li Zongren naturally can't let Su Rui carry it alone, so Li Zongren said with a smile: "Okay, everyone has a share in this matter, how can we let Zhongxin do it alone?"
Carrying it on, let’s do this, we will send a joint report to the chairman later to explain it to him. It’s best if he can understand it. If he can’t understand it, that’s fine.”
Su Rui couldn't help but smile. It seemed that his ally was not a light-saving lamp. But since Li Zongren agreed, Su Rui naturally would not treat him as a bad person. He nodded and said: "What Mr. De said makes sense. We
Let's be polite first and then attack. Let's do this. Let's send out the telegram first. As for the signatures, just use me, Mr. De and Brother Jiansheng. What do you think?"
Li Zongren also laughed: "Zhongxin, what else can I do after you have said it? Can I still say no? OK, let's send this telegram as a joint signature!"
The two sides have finalized a few general directions, and they don't need to worry about the remaining details. That is what Liang Zhi, Xu Zuyi, their two chiefs of staff and a group of staff should do.
Leaving the group of staff behind him, Su Rui and Li Zongren went into the study room of the inner house and sat down together. After the two sat down, the servant Zhang Ma invited by the family also brought in a cup of tea, and Li Zongren picked up the tea cup and drank it.
After taking a sip of tea, he put down the teacup, and then his face began to calm down. He looked at Su Rui and said seriously: "Zhongxin, we just discussed the general direction. Now let's talk about the troops after the alliance. What do you think about the troops?
After the alliance, is it better to maintain the original organization, or is it necessary to form a new unit number?"
"This issue is very complicated."
Su Rui smiled bitterly when he heard this. The reorganization of the army has always been a big problem. After all, it involves all aspects of personnel. The most important thing is not just a one-sided matter. It is also a two-sided matter, which is even more complicated. Although
It has been decided to establish a military academy in Guilin, but this is a long process after all and cannot be accomplished overnight. Su Rui has no confidence that he can defeat the original batch of proud soldiers of Li Zongren, and if Li and Bai do not do well,
His face doesn't look good either.
Su Rui thought about it again and again, but still shook his head: "Gong De, I think the matter of changing the establishment needs to be considered in the long term. The whole country is now engaged in a war of resistance. If there is no sufficient reason, we should not start a new one, otherwise we will lose points in the hearts of the people.
.It also gave the superiors an excuse and reason to deal with us. Although starting a new business will certainly make us look better, in fact, we have lost more."
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Li Zongren's eyes showed approval, and he nodded with a satisfied smile on his face: "It seems that you have not been dazzled by the victory these days, although our combined strength is now enough to guard Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi Provinces
, but this strength is based on the fact that the Japanese army has no time to deal with us with all its strength. If we start anew without authorization, the central government will definitely be furious and even declare us to be rebels. In that case, our departure will be more embarrassing. Although
We don't care about this kind of title. But once the news spreads that we are at odds or even hostile to the Central Committee, the Japanese may mobilize their military power to attack us, or even mobilize the Kwantung Army to go south. Such a situation is definitely not what we want to see.
!”
Seeing Li Zongren's earnest words, Su Rui couldn't help but smile and wave his hand: "Okay, Mr. De, I know this very well, but don't worry, when the expansion of the Seventh Army is completed, we can try to launch some battles."
Li Zongren somewhat disagreed with Su Rui's optimism. He frowned and said, "Zhongxin. Don't be too optimistic. I know you have had a smooth life in the past two years, but don't forget that Japan's comprehensive national strength and military strength
None of them are comparable to ours. The reason why we can continue to take advantage of them is just because most of their troops are restrained by other theaters. If Japan devotes all its efforts to attack us, think about it, we still have
Can it be as easy as now?"
Li Zongren's words seemed to be very sincere, and Su Rui also knew that they were words from the bottom of his heart. He nodded and said sincerely: "Gong De, your words are indeed mature and prudent words. I will remember them, but please don't worry, I will be careful.
Yes, and next I plan to uniformly change the equipment of the Seventh Army and the Forty-sixth Army in Jiangxi, and equip them all with the latest weapons of our army to enhance their combat effectiveness. What do you think?"
There was a strange look in Li Zongren's eyes, and he asked in surprise: "You mean to let the seventh and forty-sixth armies be equipped with the same equipment as the three hundred and ninety-eighth, three hundred and four hundredth armies?"
"Yes!" Su Rui nodded: "In this way, the combat effectiveness of the army can be doubled. What do you think?"
Li Zongren laughed: "Since you have this intention, how can I refuse? Then I will thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the Seventh Army and the Forty-sixth Army."
Su Rui smiled slyly: "Since we have decided to join forces, you don't need to say these polite words anymore, we have settled it like this!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they all looked at each other and laughed, but both of them were very smart and did not mention other topics in depth.
In this matter, it seems that Su Rui was very generous. He used the standards of his original troops to arm the two original armies of the Guangxi faction. This could quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the Guangxi faction, and everyone was happy. But this
Li Zongren also saw the hidden meaning behind the matter clearly. As long as the two armies under his command were completely changed, it would mean that two-thirds of the troops under his command were indirectly in the hands of Su Rui.
What is a modern war being fought about? Leaving aside the individual quality and combat will of the troops, war is actually fought about logistics. After being equipped with the weapons provided by Suri, it is equivalent to handing over all your logistics to him. Once
Suri cut off the army's food, salary and ammunition supplies, and the seemingly powerful army would collapse in an instant.
Li Zongren knew this very well, but he couldn't say no. Su Rui used an upright conspiracy. Since he has become a family, it is normal to do so. If he raised objections, that would be
Not normal.
I sighed secretly and thought to myself: "That's all, since you Su Rui have such great ambitions, what if I, Mr. Li, will accompany you to make a good career in this world?"
Thinking of this, Li Zongren was indeed an open-minded person. He quickly put aside the grudge in his heart and started chatting and laughing with Su Rui.
After lunch, Su Rui accompanied Li Zongren to visit several newly built industrial zones in the suburbs of Guangzhou. As soon as he entered the industrial zone, Li Zongren was stunned by the scale of the industrial zone. The area of the newly built industrial park can be said to be very huge.
According to Li Zongren's visual inspection, it covers at least dozens of square kilometers. Countless workers are busy on the construction site. Some of them are building factories, some are unloading trucks, some are transporting machines, and there are many big-nosed ones.
The foreigners were instructing the workers to install the machines. These people were both men and women, and they looked very busy.
Seeing this, Li Zongren was in a daze. He pointed at the industrial park and murmured: "Zhongxin, is this your new industrial park? Why are there foreigners? There should be a lot of trees, right? They were also invited by you.
Of?"
Suri smiled, shook his head and said: "No, these people are all Poles, there are about more than 1,700 people. Didn't the Germans unite with Lao Maozi to destroy Poland? These people are from the Polish Central Industrial Park
engineers and technicians, I made a deal with the Germans and asked the Germans to move dozens of factory workers and machines from the Central Industrial Zone in Poland to me. I signed a contract with them.
The contract requires them to work for us for ten years, and I will be responsible for paying their salaries to support them. After ten years, it is up to them to leave or stay as they please, and we each get what we need."
Li Zongren couldn't help but asked curiously: "Oh? Poland is thousands of miles away from us. Are they willing to leave their hometown and come to work for us?"
"Haha!" Su Rui couldn't help but laugh, "Master De, you are so smart and stupid for a lifetime. These people don't even have enough to eat in Poland. I brought them all here and not only gave them generous salaries, but also
He also promised to let them go home in ten years. What else are they dissatisfied with? You know, if they stay in their hometown, the Germans and old idiots will not treat them as favorably as I do, and they might not even be able to save their lives.
.”
Li Zongren sighed: "Well... the ancients said it well, it is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times! These days of subjugation are indeed difficult! Zhongxin, you should take more care of these people in the future."
"I will!" Su Rui nodded seriously and thought to himself: "These people are all treasures. Without them, where would I find so many professionals to run these factories?"
"Huh!"
At this time, Li Zongren let out another exclamation, pointed forward and said: "Zhongxin, what's going on with these machines and equipment? The factory building has not been built yet, why have the machines started to be installed?"
"This is normal." Su Rui said without surprise: "Time waits for no time. I have calculated that if we wait until the factory is built before installing and debugging the machines, it will take at least a year. But if we install the factory while building it, it will take at least a year."
If we use a machine, we can shorten the time to three to six months. Do you think that how much time can be shortened?"
Speaking of this, Suri is still very proud. He learned this move from Lao Maozi later, and it was also the famous wartime speed. (To be continued...)
