"Asshole! The Eighth Route Army is not the army that controls Chongqing, but our army!" Commander Yan, who understood, cursed loudly.
"A few hours ago, everyone knew that the Eighth Route Army paid huge losses to defend Linfen City and kill the Japanese Kato Division. Now that the transfer order from Chongqing is sent out through a clear telegram, it is not telling everyone that our Shanxi-Sui Army will be killed on the way.
When Cheng Yaojin comes out, will he directly take away their credit?"
"They also repeatedly affirmed in the telegram that they would definitely implement the order of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs and withdraw from Linfen City. However, they hope that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs and the theater will treat all troops equally and replace their lost equipment, ammunition, supplies, and pensions as soon as possible.
!”
"As soon as we receive these materials, ammunition and funds, we will immediately hand over Linfen City to our Jinsui Army!"
"What does this mean? All the good guys were fooled by the Eighth Route Army, and we, the Jinsui Army, turned into villains. Not only did we lose our reputation, but we also had to be laughed at!"
"The Eighth Route Army's skills are simply amazing!"
"We all miscalculated, and this time we fell into the trap of the Eighth Route Army!"
The chief of staff frowned and asked: "In order to prevent the local troops and people from being disappointed, 80% of the time in Chongqing will agree to the request of the Eighth Route Army in the telegram and provide them with additional weapons, ammunition, supplies and funds!"
"But, can Chongqing be able to afford such a huge comparison of funds and equipment? And the opponent is the Eighth Route Army that Chongqing has always wanted to eliminate!"
"If the Eighth Route Army stationed in Linfen City does not receive funds and supplies, they will have reason to continue to hold on. There is nothing anyone can do against them, including the Ministry of Military Affairs!"
"In this case, our plan to capture Linfen City in a short time will fail again!"
Chief Yan shook his head and replied: "Chief of Staff, you underestimated the Chongqing guy's broken hand!"
"Whether it is for reputation or for other reasons, there is no doubt that Chongqing agrees to the demands of the New Regiment in the telegram. However, Chongqing will never give out a gun, a bullet, or a piece of ocean as compensation to the Eighth Route Army..."
"They are not that stupid. The one who ultimately benefited from the Eighth Route Army's withdrawal from Linfen City was our Jinsui Army, not them..."
"Also, in the eyes of the Chongqing man, the Eighth Route Army has always been his old enemy. Even if he has money and equipment, it will be given to the government army, not to his old enemy to increase his opponent's strength~"
The chief of staff frowned even deeper: "Without receiving weapons, ammunition and funds, the Eighth Route Army will definitely stay in Linfen City and never leave!"
Then he stared at Commander Yan and asked, "Commander, what should we do next?"
Chief Yan replied unhappily: "It's very simple. Our Jinsui Army was taken advantage of and paid for the weapons and ammunition to buy Linfen City!"
"It was our Jinsui Army who finally captured Linfen City. Chongqing will definitely let our Jinsui Army pay for it!"
"Just wait, it won't take long before a telegram from Chongqing asking us to compensate the new group will be sent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the communications staff of the headquarters rushed over.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, urgent call from Chongqing!"
Commander Yan, who had long guessed that there would be this telegram, did not pick it up and replied with a scoundrel look on his face: "You saw it! The order from Chongqing has already arrived."
The chief of staff, who received the telegram and quickly read the entire content, was shocked by the contents of the telegram.
The content of the telegram turned out to be the same as the commander had judged: Chongqing agreed to replenish equipment and provide pensions to the Eighth Route Army, but all equipment and funds were provided by the Second Theater Command, that is, the Shanxi-Sui Army!
The chief of staff, who knew the war zone's financial resources, shook his head and reminded: "Commander, how can we get so much funds and equipment just by relying on our war zone!"
"I definitely can't take it out!" Commander Yan replied expressionlessly.
"With so much funds and equipment, even if I can get it, I won't give it to you!"
The chief of staff asked in confusion: "What about Linfen City?"
"Linfen City must be captured!" Commander Yan showed a trace of emotion on his face and answered firmly.
The chief of staff was even more puzzled: "We can't fight, and we can't get funds and equipment from the theater. Now the problem is with the Eighth Route Army. They will definitely not give us Linfen City!"
A smile flashed across Chief Yan's face and he replied: "Have you never heard of the word bargaining, Chief of Staff?"
"Linfen City is too important to our Jinsui Army. No matter how high the price is, we must win it. However, we cannot let the Eighth Route Army just sit around and raise the price. We will give as much as we want."
"If this really happens, our Jinsui Army will become completely taken advantage of!"
"Chief of Staff, please calculate how much price we can bear to capture Linfen City!"
The chief of staff quickly replied: "We definitely cannot give weapons!"
"Our Jinsui Army is also short of weapons. Especially after taking Linfen, the army will definitely continue to expand. We don't even have enough weapons ourselves, let alone give them to the Eighth Route Army!"
"You can give them some ammunition. They just fought a big battle with the Japanese, and their limited ammunition reserves must have been almost exhausted."
"Giving them ammunition at this time is tantamount to giving help in the snow!"
"If ammunition is also cut off, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not agree!"
"But we must control the quantity. We cannot give them ammunition and then use these ammunition to attack us in the future!"
"We can give them some medicines. What the Eighth Route Army lacks most is these things, and there are no channels to get them!"
"I think we can use medicine to suppress the Eighth Route Army and make them lower their negotiation requirements!"
"As for the funds, this needs to be decided by you, Commander!"
Chief Yan frowned and thought for five minutes before asking: "Only when we take Linfen can we really take over southwestern Shanxi. If I remember correctly, before we retreat, the annual tax revenue of dozens of counties in southwestern Shanxi should be
About 1.8 million oceans. The war has been going on for so long, so taxation will definitely be reduced. Based on the tax standard of 1.5 million oceans a year, I can give the Eighth Route Army the tax revenue of the entire southwestern Shanxi for a year!"
"One and a half million oceans?" the chief of staff asked with wide eyes.
I never thought why the always stingy commander would be so generous this time.
Chief Yan replied helplessly: "That's all! We have cut off all the weapons required by the Eighth Route Army. Even if we don't cut off the medicine and ammunition at all, we can't cut too much on the pension, otherwise the Eighth Route Army will definitely not agree!"
"In this way, we will temporarily negotiate with the Eighth Route Army based on this standard. If it is not enough, we can add another five hundred thousand!"
"Now that we have determined that we are the enemy, we must completely capture Linfen City!"
"Send a telegram to Commander Zhang immediately and ask him to personally negotiate with the Eighth Route Army and capture Linfen City!"
"Moreover, after the results of the negotiations come out, we will also report to Chongqing through a clear telegram to let everyone know about it and prevent the Eighth Route Army from cheating and causing trouble!"
