Hearing this, more than a dozen officers, big and small, in the conference room became excited at the same time!
Everyone stared at Watanabe with fiery eyes, waiting for the next step.
"In order to avenge our shame in the future, eliminate the independent battalion, and reorganize the Watanabe Brigade, while we guard Lingqiu and continue to wait for replenishment, everyone cannot be idle!"
"I have decided to carry out a large-scale reorganization and mixing of all the garrison troops in Lingqiu!"
"We just analyzed that the reason why the Independence Battalion continued to grow and develop during the Imperial Army's attacks again and again was that the Imperial Alliance Army was the main problem. Not only did they send a steady stream of supplementary soldiers to the Independence Battalion, but they also sent them a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
!”
"So, the first target we need to rectify is the Imperial Alliance Army!"
"Captain Zhou, what do you have to say?"
Captain Zhou was frightened. The hat Watanabe put on him was really scary.
To put it mildly, it means that the troops are not strictly controlled, which gives the Eighth Route Army an opportunity to take advantage of it; to put it more seriously, it means scheming the enemy.
Spoiling the enemy is a serious crime and will result in the loss of one's head. Even if a Japanese is wearing this hat, he will be shot, let alone a traitor himself.
Captain Zhou was so nervous that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead like rain.
But I didn't feel any heat at all. Instead, my whole body felt cold.
After hesitating for a long time, he answered bravely: "Sir, please rest assured, those are all the original Imperial Association Army. Since I became the commander of the regiment, I have reorganized the Imperial Association Army many times. I guarantee that all the current officers and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army have been
Be loyal to the Imperial Army and you will never surrender to the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield!"
"I believe in Commander Zhou's loyalty to the imperial army!" Watanabe said.
Captain Zhou couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
With Watanabe's words, there will definitely be no problem with your own safety.
Just when he was about to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Watanabe spoke again, and his heart that had just been relieved rose to his throat again!
"But I don't know if the officers and soldiers under your command are loyal to the imperial army!"
Captain Zhou quickly explained: "Sir, don't worry, all officers above the company have been screened for their humble positions, and they must be loyal to the imperial army!"
Watanabe did not object, but asked with a sneer: "Then can you ensure that those officers have absolute control over ordinary soldiers, and that they are loyal to the imperial army and will not betray the imperial army!"
"This..." Captain Zhou hesitated.
There are more than a thousand people in the group, and it is normal for a few people to have second thoughts among them. No one can avoid it.
Watanabe asked himself to ensure that the entire regiment would be loyal to the imperial army, which was obviously a embarrassment to himself.
Answer in the affirmative, if something happens in the future, the responsibility will be on you.
If you deny it, it proves that there is something wrong with the defense team. No one knows what shocking words Watanabe will say next!
Captain Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only act anxiously.
Watanabe said: "Since you can't do it, then the imperial army will do it for you!"
"I have decided to transfer ten captains and ten sergeants from the garrison to join the Imperial Association Army and serve as deputy company commanders and training instructors for each company of the Imperial Association Army!"
"Assist Captain Zhou and his officers to control the Imperial Army and improve the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army!"
"Suzuki-kun, please do this. All the imperial troops must be in place before dark tomorrow. I wonder if you have any objections, Captain Zhou?"
Captain Zhou finally understood.
Watanabe made such a big detour with one purpose: to insert his own people into the Imperial Alliance Army and completely control the Imperial Alliance Army in the hands of his own people.
Of course, as Watanabe, there is no need to go to such trouble, he can just give the order directly.
But Watanabe obviously considered the matter more carefully. Although he took some detours, he had sufficient reasons for deploying people, so he had no reason to refuse.
In this way, the officers under his command will be convinced by the little devils who intervened, and can control the Imperial Alliance Army step by step while ensuring the stability of the Imperial Alliance Army.
As for myself, I will still be the commander of the Royal Association Army from now on.
However, the weight of this commander will be reduced as Watanabe slowly controls the Imperial Alliance Army, and eventually becomes a puppet commander, with only the role of stabilizing the morale of the army.
Thinking of this, Captain Zhou was unwilling to give up, but he still answered bravely.
"Sir, don't worry, I don't have any objections!"
"After returning home, I will tell my officers from my humble position to assist the Imperial Army in controlling the troops, strengthen training, and further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army!"
"Yo Xi!" Watanabe was very satisfied with Captain Zhou's reaction and followed the order.
"Since the Imperial Alliance Army is completely loyal to the Imperial Army and will become more and more powerful under the training of the Imperial Army, I have decided to continue to expand the Imperial Alliance Army."
"Each company will be expanded to 150 men, equivalent to an Imperial Army infantry squadron, and they will be reinforced with a certain number of light machine guns and grenade launchers."
"Another battalion will be added to the regiment headquarters, as well as a heavy machine gun company and a mortar company!"
"I will report the required weapons and ammunition to the brigade headquarters and ask them to transfer some of the equipment and ammunition captured on the front line to us!"
"My goal is to expand the Imperial Army to 2,500 people!"
"During the war, one battalion was left to assist the imperial army in defending the county town, and the other troops cooperated with the imperial army to fight out of the city!"
Although he knew that after the expansion of the Imperial Alliance Army, it no longer had much to do with him, and he only assumed the title of leader.
Facing Watanabe's gaze towards him, he had to pretend to give a compliment no matter how reluctant he was.
"Thank you, sir, for your trust in the Imperial Alliance Army!"
"I promise that with the participation of the Imperial Army, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army will become stronger and stronger. I will always be loyal to the Imperial Army!"
The smile on Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe's face became even wider.
But he soon regained his seriousness and turned his attention to Tian Chengzhi.
With a skip in his heart, he realized that after Watanabe finished reorganizing the Imperial Alliance Army, it would be his turn next.
Unsurprisingly, he would be sidelined like Commander Zhou of the Imperial Association Army, taking the title of captain of the secret service to appease the morale of the army, but without any say in the secret service, he would become a puppet captain.
"Captain Tian, the secret service team's ability to collect intelligence needs to be strengthened!"
"I just reported to His Majesty the General and asked the brigade headquarters to transfer five intelligence elites from the Super High School to me!"
"I decided to let them join the special agent team, help you train a group of qualified intelligence personnel, and continue to monitor every move of the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army!"
The worries in his heart turned into reality, and Tian Chengzhi did not dare to show any resistance.
Even the commander of the Imperial Army, which held a large number of troops, compromised, let alone a spy captain himself.
A flattering smile quickly appeared on his face, and then he replied: "Sir is wise!"
"With the support of the Royal Army of the Special High School, the intelligence collection capabilities of the special agents will definitely become stronger and stronger. I completely agree!"
"Yoshi!" Watanabe continued.
"Although we have given up the outside of the city to the independent battalion, we cannot allow them to expand unscrupulously. The main force is in urgent need of recovery and cannot move, but your special agent team cannot be idle!"
"As soon as the intelligence personnel from the Special High School are in place, you will start taking action. I want the Independent Battalion to not be able to live in peace during this period!"
