Chapter 1070: The decision of the commander-in-chief (eighth)
The deputy commander stared at Wang Ping and asked: "How much military salary and military expenses are you going to ask the Jinsui Army? If it is less, their family has a big business and they will be able to pay it easily. When the time comes, you will still have to carry out the order and leave.
Linfen!"
"Ten million oceans, I won't leave without ten million oceans!" Wang Ping blurted out without thinking.
The commander-in-chief looked shocked and opened his mouth. He didn't say a word for a long time. He was frightened by Wang Ping's lion's big mouth.
The same was true for the deputy commander, who was stunned for a long time without reacting.
The commander who had the least contact with Wang Ping seemed to know Wang Ping very well, but there were not many surprises because of Wang Ping's answer.
He hesitated and asked: "Ten million oceans, Comrade Wang Ping, do you know how much ten million oceans is? Well, even if you ask them for ten million oceans, it still costs that much money.
Evidence and reasons, otherwise you will think that Jin Suijun is a fool for giving you so much money for no reason and letting you blackmail him!"
Wang Ping was embarrassed to answer: "Commander, ten million oceans is indeed my lion's opening. However, five million oceans is my bottom line. As long as Yan Xishan can give me five million oceans, I will take the new group
Three battalions withdraw from Linfen!"
"As for the reason for asking for so many oceans, I have this: the New Regiment has been established for such a long time, and the military pay and funds they owe must be hundreds of thousands of oceans!"
"We have seized so much territory from the Japanese and wiped out so many Japanese and puppet troops. They must pay pensions for tens of thousands of casualties. Otherwise, those soldiers who died will not agree to me giving up Linfen to them!"
"Wait a minute!" the commander-in-chief suddenly interrupted.
"If I remember correctly, since you became the leader of the new regiment, the total number of casualties in the new regiment seems to be only 10,000. How come it suddenly doubled to tens of thousands when you arrived?"
Wang Ping immediately explained: "Chief, when the Jinsui Army fights the Japanese, the best casualty ratio is three to one, sometimes five to one, or even ten to one. Even if I tell them that our new regiment will not
Even if they kill more than 10,000 Japs with 10,000 casualties, they won’t believe it!”
"In this case, I can only quote a number that they can accept."
"According to the casualty ratio of three to one, our New Regiment has sacrificed a total of 30,000 soldiers in the past two years and injured more than 10,000 people, including many cadres. According to their pension standards, if 30,000 soldiers were sacrificed, they would have to compensate me at least 30,000 soldiers.
A pension of millions of dollars!"
"Also, according to the reward system in the World War II zone, if we eliminate so many Japanese, even if we only get fifty yuan as a reward for killing one Japanese, if we include the Japanese officers, it should be a million yuan!"
"Last point, although Linfen and the surrounding seven or eight counties are not very wealthy, there is still no problem in covering the military expenses of my new regiment for one year. Now let me give up. Okay, I will first take care of our new regiment for the next five years.
, give me ten years of military expenditure. Two hundred thousand a year, two million oceans in ten years is not much, add it all up, at least five million oceans, not even a single ocean is missing!"
"Profiteer!" These two words popped into the heads of the three leaders, but they did not refute.
If they could really get five million yuan from the Jinsui Army, it would be okay even if they gave up Linfen to them. This was an idea that came to the minds of the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief at that moment.
Only the commander-in-chief heard a flaw in Wang Ping's words, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked: "If I am not wrong, even if the Jinsui Army really gives you this money, you will not really withdraw."
Linfen!"
"I heard clearly just now that you only plan to withdraw the three main battalions of troops!"
Seeing the puzzled expression on the commander-in-chief's face, the commander-in-chief immediately explained: "Commander, you don't know, this guy Wang Ping is more clever than anyone else!"
"Although the New Regiment still bears the name of a regiment, the main force of the entire New Regiment has reached 15,000 people in total. Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, are all equipment of the New Regiment
The weapons that come to the battalion and company cannot get into Wang Ping’s eyes at all!”
"In addition to these, the new regiment also has a fully-formed cavalry reinforcement battalion, a tank armor battalion, and a heavy artillery reinforcement battalion. Especially the heavy artillery battalion, they are all veritable large-caliber heavy artillery, a total of eighteen!"
"With so many troops, he only withdrew three battalions. The remaining troops will definitely stay in Linfen and the seven or eight surrounding counties and secretly control the base areas."
"If my guess is correct, even if Commander Yan of the Jin-Sui Army really gave Wang Ping five million yuan, he would only get Linfen on the surface."
The little thoughts in his mind were seen through, and Wang Ping quickly explained: "Chief, I do have this idea, but it is not mature yet!"
The commander-in-chief kept his eyes on Wang Ping and waited until he finished speaking before confirming: "Boss, your choice is good. Wang Ping is indeed the best candidate to take charge of Linfen. I agree!"
"He has a quick mind, is flexible, and knows how to fight. More importantly, he is a rising star in our Eighth Route Army. Whether it is Chongqing or the World War II zone, there are very few people who are familiar with him. After all, he was just an unknown person in the Red Army.
Even I have never heard of the grassroots cadres!"
The commander-in-chief stared at Wang Ping and asked: "I remember you served as a battalion commander during the Red Army..."
"Yes, Chief!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"Before the Long March, the army was expanded and I was promoted from company commander to battalion commander. However, I only served as commander for three months before I became company commander again because of the heavy losses in the army."
"Later, I was injured in the war and became a staff officer of the regiment. When I was climbing the snow-capped mountains and crossing the grassland, if Commander Yang hadn't insisted on not giving up on me, I might have died on the snow-capped mountains!"
"Batalion Commander, no one in Chongqing or the World War II area knows you. Letting you and the new regiment continue to be in Linfen will definitely not cause much reaction from them." The commander-in-chief affirmed.
The commander nodded and affirmed: "Comrade Wang Ping, allowing you to continue to be the leader of the new regiment and forming the Linfen Military Division is another reason why we have taken away some of your military exploits."
"In order for you to continue to serve as the commander of the new regiment and use your status as colonel commander to defend southwestern Shanxi, the commander-in-chief suppressed many of your previous military exploits."
"Otherwise, with those military exploits and the current strength of the New Regiment, there would be no problem for you to become the division commander."
"But, we really need you to stay in Linfen, and we need you to be a colonel leader. We can only suppress you again and again and prevent you from being promoted."
"This time, if your military exploits are announced, the Commander-in-Chief will not be able to suppress you even if he wants to. This military exploit is too great. If he suppresses you, other cadres will be under pressure to get promoted. And Chongqing will definitely give you awards.
You, maybe you can be promoted to major general!"
"We know about the one in Chongqing that even if you are promoted to major general, it will not increase our establishment. At that time, if we continue to keep you in the new regiment, it will leave the outside world with the impression that we are deliberately suppressing you!"
"So, in order for you to continue to serve in the new group, I can only continue to wrong you!"
"Political power comes from the barrel of a gun..." This is what the commander in front of him said, and Wang Ping knows it better than anyone else.
The Xinyi Regiment currently has more than 10,000 people. As long as it gives itself time, it will have no problem growing to 20,000 people. As for the position, Wang Ping really doesn't care.
Because he knows that when the time comes, as long as he has the strength in his hands, there will be a corresponding position for him.
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Wang Ping answered with almost no hesitation: "Chief, I carry out the order, and I am willing to stay in the New Regiment!"
