After saying that, Yan Youjin planned to send a telegram to report the good news to his superiors.
But as soon as he moved, Li Hao called him back: "Director Yan, I have something else here that you, Chief Yan, will definitely be very interested in."
"If you, Director Yan, can get it back, it will be a great achievement."
Li Hao is a man who does what he says. When he says it is a great achievement, it must be true, and there will be no exaggeration.
After several years of interactions, Yan Youjin was able to confirm this issue.
So he quickly retracted his right foot that he had already stepped out, stared at Li Hao, and asked with expectation.
"what?"
"A group of people with special status!" Li Hao replied.
Yan Youjin knew that there must be something important in this, so he immediately asked: "What is your specific identity? Captain Li, don't you want to tell anyone about it?"
Li Hao thought for a while and replied: "In order to cooperate with your Jinsui Army's attack on Datong, our Eighth Route Army dispatched many troops to pretend to attack Datong to attract Japanese and puppet troops and reduce your siege pressure. Director Yan should know this!"
"Our garrison regiment happens to be one of these troops by chance."
"During the feint attack on Datong, we saw that many troops of your army were defeated by the Japanese and puppet pursuing troops during their retreat and were then captured."
"In order to prevent these soldiers from being brutally murdered, our garrison took the initiative and rescued them at a huge cost."
"These people are now at the base of our garrison. If you, Commander Yan, want it, I can make the decision to return them to you, but you must pay us some errand fees."
"After all, the garrison consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition when rescuing these people, and also suffered many casualties."
Yan Youjin's eyes immediately became hot.
In the Great Unification War, the Jinsui Army not only consumed a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but also suffered the greatest loss in terms of troops.
As soon as the participating troops retreated to their bases, they put up recruitment signs, hoping to make up for the losses on the battlefield in the shortest possible time.
In particular, those units that have been eliminated as part of their organizational structure must be rebuilt as soon as possible.
Because once the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs learns about this matter, they will definitely take the opportunity to weaken the Jinsui Army and cancel the designation of several troops that have been disabled. By then, the Jinsui Army will lose more than the gain.
These are troubled times, and the drought in North China is getting worse. Many people are on the verge of life and death and want to serve as soldiers to feed them, so they can definitely recruit all the new soldiers.
However, the losses of the troops in the First World War were too great, and many troops were wiped out.
Even if there are enough recruits and equipment, without veterans and officers to train them, the army will be in disarray and will not be able to achieve combat effectiveness.
In order to solve this problem and allow these troops to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the method developed by the headquarters is to transfer officers and veterans from other troops to supplement the troops that have suffered too much loss.
But in this way, the combat effectiveness of those transferred troops will definitely decrease.
Moreover, these people were the thorns in the eyes of any commander, so after the order to transfer people was issued, no commander was willing to release them. For this reason, many people directly complained to Commander Yan to express their dissatisfaction.
In order to appease the emotions of these senior commanders, the personnel transfer operation could only be temporarily suspended, and some people were transferred from the headquarters to take the new recruits for training.
However, the problem of too many monks and too little meat has not yet been solved.
If I can bring a group of veterans and officers back to help the commander solve this problem, it will definitely be a great achievement.
The more he thought about Yan Youjin, the more excited he became. He stared at Li Hao and asked, "Captain Li, how many people are there?"
"To be honest, what the Jinsui Army is most lacking now is veterans and officers."
Li Hao hesitated and replied: "I will keep the exact number of people secret for now, but one thing I am sure of is that if Commander Yan redeems all these people, officers with just a few years can set up the frame of two main divisions.
"
"As for the backbone of veterans, there are more, and they will definitely satisfy you, Commander Yan."
Yan Youjin was frightened and opened his mouth. It took him a long time to react.
Then he stared at Li Hao with a look of disbelief and confirmed: "Captain Li, are there really so many people? Don't lie to me!"
"Guaranteed to be just a little more!" Li Hao affirmed.
Yan Youjin swallowed and replied: "If there are really so many veterans and backbones, I, the director of the Procurement Department, will definitely not be able to make the decision. I must ask Chief Yan to send officers of a better rank to negotiate."
"I'm going to send a telegram now to report this to Commander Yan!"
"No, I want to meet Commander Yan in person to report this matter. This is a huge achievement and we must not let others snatch it away."
Seeing Yan Youjin hurriedly leaving without saying hello, Hong Linfeng said excitedly: "Captain, your judgment is right."
"Although Yan Youjin didn't say how important these Shanxi-Sui Army veterans and officers were to them, his actions proved everything."
"Going back in such a hurry shows that they urgently need veterans and officers to replenish their troops, and they are very anxious."
"We're definitely going to make a lot of money out of them this time."
"Let me think about it, we still have 4,500 people in our hands who can be handed over to them. If one person is calculated at 50 yuan, that is more than 200,000 yuan!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It's only over 200,000 yuan. You underestimate the value of these veterans and officers."
Hong Linfeng knew that the group leader must have thought about the outcome, so he asked immediately.
"Captain, how many oceans do you want to ask them for?"
"At least eight hundred thousand oceans, maybe one million oceans if you're lucky."
"Hiss... so many!" Hong Linfeng took a breath and shouted.
Li Hao responded with a confident expression: "This is the price I want the Jinsui Army to cooperate with in the future, and I don't want to make the relationship too tense."
"If you really want to calculate it, the value of these veterans and officers must be far more than one million oceans!"
"So the asking price is not high at all. You just have to wait. Last time we bought grain, the Jinsui Army made a lot of money from us. This time I want to get it all back, and I will make a profit."
"
The reaction of the Jinsui Army was greater than Li Hao expected.
It took Yan Youjin two days and two nights to rush back to the headquarters. It only took one day. After receiving the news, the Shanxi-Sui Army headquarters sent a major general to lead a team and rushed to the garrison base overnight.
Yan Youjin, who brought back the good news, was not forgotten and was appointed by Chief Yan as the deputy negotiator.
This is definitely good news for Li Hao.
The Jinsui Army's quick response further proves that these veteran officers are very important to them.
By then, I will have more confidence in asking for the price.
Coupled with the cooperation of Yan Youjin, an old friend, this negotiation will definitely get the result he wants.
