Just when the Japanese held a meeting of the four prime ministers of the cabinet, Su Rui also officially settled down in Hongfeng Town. However, when Su Rui settled down, he realized how hard it was to be the leader, and he almost became embarrassed for it.
The reason why Suri was worried about his hair loss was simply because he had no money or food.
In the afternoon of that day, after Luo Zhuoying settled Su Rui and his party in Hongfeng Town, he received an order from Wuhan and transferred him back to the Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang border areas to replace Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army and return to the Third Army.
The commander-in-chief of the theater, Gu Zhutong, takes command.
The next day, Su Rui went to the division headquarters to find Song Xilian, hoping to get some military pay and food. After all, he had nearly hundreds of wounded and more than 200 soldiers who needed to eat.
The second time he met Song Xilian, Su Rui felt that something was wrong with Song Xilian's attitude. It was not that Song's attitude was not good. On the contrary, Su Rui found that Song Xilian's attitude towards him was polite and he did not treat him like a superior at all.
attitude of subordinates.
It was this attitude that made Su Rui feel uneasy. As expected, when Su Rui asked for food and salary, Song Xilian had a look of embarrassment on his face. First he complained about a lot of hardships, saying that the troops had just withdrawn from the river.
All the baggage and other things were left at the Yijiang Gate. There was no food left, not to mention military pay, which even a rich man didn't have.
In the end, Su Rui grinded his teeth for a long time, and then Song Xilian agreed to allocate him three thousand kilograms of grain, and solemnly explained that this was to take care of him, and not a single grain of grain would be gone before the next batch of grain arrived.
Three thousand kilograms of grain seems to be a lot. If you save some food, it can be enough for a family of five to feed a family for a year. But the problem is that Suri has more than 500 people under his command. This amount of food is only enough for Suri.
They eat for three or four days. In other words, Song Xilian only feeds them for three days. After these three days, Su Rui will have to find a way to feed the hundreds of people under his command.
After hearing this answer, Su Ruixuan didn't get angry on the spot. He felt that our independent group was raised by stepmothers, and they didn't even cover the food expenses. We simply let us be self-reliant. After all, I am your soldier, okay?
But at least Suri was not impulsive enough to get angry on the spot. He suppressed his anger and called someone to move the food from the logistics office of the division headquarters back to where they stayed.
Hongfeng Town is a large town with a population of tens of thousands. However, due to the war, most of the residents here have fled, so food supply is very difficult. Su Rui and the others settled in a relatively large town less than three kilometers away from the town.
village.
When Su Rui returned to the station with the food, the sky had darkened. After dinner, Su Rui called Bai Jingran, Lin Shiqian, and Li Yifeng to his room. These three people are currently Su Rui's most powerful people.
Important team.
Su Rui angrily told the story about the cold reception he received at the division headquarters today. Unexpectedly, the three people turned out to be calm after hearing this, as if they had expected this incident.
Seeing the inconvenienced expressions on the three of them, Su Rui couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you all have such expressions? Isn't it strange at all?"
Bai Jingran said calmly: "It's not bad. Being able to bring back three thousand kilograms of grain is beyond my expectation."
Lin Shiqian said at the side: "What's so strange about this? Sir, you are not the master's biological son. Why should he give you food for free?"
Li Yifeng also said: "I have long been used to it. When I was in the Sichuan Army, the faces of the Central Army were even uglier than they are now."
Su Rui held it in for a long time before saying unconvinced: "But the problem is that we are also members of the Central Army now!"
"You think you are the one?" Bai Jingran sneered, "Sir, even though you are already a colonel, there are still many things you don't know about. Let me ask you, did you graduate from Huangpu? Yes.
Did you graduate from the Central Military Academy? Or are you a fellow countryman of the Chairman? Why do you dare to say that you are a member of the Central Military Academy?"
Su Rui was stunned by Bai Jingran's series of questions. Yes, why did he say that he was a member of the Central Army? In the army of this era, everyone was labeled as soon as they joined the army. A miscellaneous army is a miscellaneous army. The Central Army
Even in the Central Army, everything has been labeled and categorized, and I am no exception.
Seeing Su Rui lowering his head and looking dejected, Bai Jingran also sighed and said, "Sir, don't be discouraged. Let's think about it slowly and there will be a solution."
Li Yifeng also suddenly said as if he remembered something: "Regiment leader, you didn't originally work in the logistics office of the 163rd Regiment. Can you find a solution with your former colleagues?"
Su Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The tea is cold when I leave. Besides, I was just a small deputy director of the 163rd Regiment. How can I have such great abilities?"
After returning to the 36th Division, Su Rui also secretly went to the 163rd Regiment to learn about his predecessor who had the same name as him. He found that this guy was not a good guy. He was also a little bully in his hometown in Guangxi. Come on.
After joining the army, he was also restless. He worked in the logistics department to make money, and he also preferred gambling and prostitution. All the money he gained from the logistics department was thrown into casinos and brothels.
Such a person naturally has no close friends in the 163rd Regiment. The only few colleagues with whom he could talk were heard that they also died in the line of duty for unknown reasons when they were on business in Nanjing. This also made Su Rui secretly relieved.
tone, now I finally don’t have to worry about being exposed.
The four of Su Rui thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of any good solution. Su Rui frowned. He knew very well that if there was no food and military pay, the team he had brought out from Nanjing with great difficulty would soon fall apart.
, he, the newly appointed regimental leader, has become a joke.
Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Does Chief Song just want our independent group to disperse on its own?"
As soon as Su Rui's words came out, Bai Jingran smiled bitterly and said, "You only know now, Tuanzuo?"
"No wonder!" Su Rui suddenly realized. He thought about the matter from beginning to end, and then he finally figured it out. What kind of army is the Thirty-sixth Division? They are serious German weapons masters, Commissar Chiang Kai-shek.
It is a direct line unit with a long history. The officers in it are all Huangpu students who graduated from the Central Military Academy.
It used to be that in the 163th Regiment, it was just a little thing to make some money, and the people above would just turn a blind eye. But it is different now. I am the leader of the regiment, and Song Xilian, the first-term son of Huangpu
How could a man who claimed to be a disciple of the Emperor allow himself, a country bumpkin who had never attended a military academy and came from a remote country, to be in charge of a regiment of heavy soldiers in his own army? He must be wishing he could get out as soon as possible!
The matter was finally figured out, but after thinking it over, Suri still had no way to change the current bad situation.
No one here understands the power of money better than Su Rui, who grew up in a market economy, but he knows that Su Rui still has no idea how to make money.
Finally, Su Rui stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. He finally gritted his teeth and said: "Old Bai, is there any army here that wants to buy arms? If it doesn't work, we can buy some arms on hand and give them to friendly forces in exchange for some oceans and food.
To address the current urgent needs.”
"What, Tuanzuo, you want to sell arms? This is absolutely not possible!"
As soon as Su Rui's words came out, the three people across from him all jumped up, and Lin Shiqian even shouted out without thinking.
Bai Jingran also advised: "Tuanzuo, please don't be confused. Although our life is not easy now, we can always overcome this hurdle if we think of ways to get through it. You must not be confused."
Ah! If we sell arms, our independent group will be disbanded!"
"That's right, Tuan Zuo, you must not sell the arms! If you sell the arms, you might as well remove me as the battalion commander!" Li Yifeng on the side also advised.
Looking at the anxious expressions of the three people, Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little moved. It seemed that these three people really had feelings for the independent group, otherwise they wouldn't have persuaded him like this. But how did they know that they had a god-defying figure on their hands?
What about the cheating device?
After thinking for a while and organizing his speech, Su Rui smiled and said: "Look where your thoughts are going. You don't even think about what I used to do in your group. When it comes to fighting, I may not be as good as you, but if I
Selling arms, you can't catch up with me even if you tie them together! You have forgotten Pastor Tabitha in our regiment. I have found out these days that he has acquaintances in Germany and the United States. It is a piece of cake to get some arms.
."
"Uh... is there such a thing?" Bai Jingran and the other three were stunned at the same time.
However, the three of them also knew what kind of job Su Rui had done before, and the path behind him was definitely not simple, otherwise he would not have taken out so many arms in one go without blinking in Nanjing a few days ago.
It should be noted that no one who can sell arms these days is a fuel-efficient lamp. If the leader in front of him can really sell arms, then the future life of the independent group will be very nourishing.
"Tuanzuo, do you really have a way to get arms?" To be on the safe side, Bai Jingran confirmed it again.
"Of course it's true. Not to mention munitions, I can also get medicines. Let's talk about the sulfa powder we use now. I can also get a batch of it, not just morphine, medical alcohol, gauze, etc.
It can be done. As long as anyone is willing to exchange grain and ocean with us, I will risk it!"
After hearing Su Rui's confirmation, Lin Shiqian was so excited that he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Okay, if the group can get these in-demand goods, let's see if I don't squeeze the oil out of the stone of those stingy guys. It's just food and oceans."
It doesn’t matter, as long as we can get arms and medicine, now it’s the division commander’s turn to beg us!”
Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Su Rui nodded and said, "But before that, we have to do one thing first. We have to get a generator and some oil."
"dynamo?"
Everyone exclaimed in unison, and then started to look at each other, why do you need a generator? There are not many places with generators these days, where can you find one?
