What can be seen and touched is the control of the Second Regiment that Zhou Wen voluntarily gave up. This can be regarded as the only armed force that the party can currently possess. And these big bosses all know that in this world, having guns is king.
Who wouldn’t want to hold it in their hands?
After several battles, no one could gain the upper hand. Simply put, everyone really ignored the Second Group and ignored them. This is what made the brothers of the Second Group suffer.
, no one cared about me for several months, and I almost went hungry without being able to open the pot.
For those rights that are so sweet to them, who cares about anything else? It’s none of my business even if the big-headed soldiers starve to death. If something goes wrong, just push the blame onto the other faction.
If it was just a matter of money, with the financial resources of the Liu family and their relationship with Zhou Wen, the Liu family could afford to support not only a regiment, but also a division.
But the problem is that this is not an economic issue, but a political issue.
As long as the Liu family dares to reach out, it will be like poking a hornet's nest.
You, a businessman, actually dare to interfere in military affairs and bribe the army. Do you want to rebel?
As long as all forces attack the Liu family together, even the Liu family will not be able to stop it!
Therefore, Liu Ruoshui could only rely on his own connections to borrow some supplies from other departments of the party headquarters to meet the urgent needs of the Second Regiment, but he did not dare to take any of his own money out.
It's funny to say that it was very common in the officialdom of the Republic of China to pretend to benefit the public for personal gain, but no one said anything about it. Now Liu Ruoshui wants to pretend to be private for the public and use his own money to help the public resolve conflicts. Instead, he will become the enemy of the public. It is really weird.
Now, the group of strong coolies gathered at Fengyu Pier are actually the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment.
After Zhou Wen took over the Second Regiment, he immediately asked Chen Wanli to mobilize hundreds of outstanding grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers from the First Regiment to form an instructor team. He once again came to the Second Regiment, which had been moved to Pukou, and began a new round of reorganization of the Second Regiment.
and training.
This training is not the first time for the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment. Last year, Captain Zhou Wen came with a group of instructors and a large amount of supplies, giving the brothers hope.
At this time, it was Captain Zhou who once again helped the brothers find their destination from confusion and hesitation.
Moreover, Chief Zhou also apologized to everyone. He originally wanted to find a better future for us brothers who have made meritorious service to the country, but those party officials regarded all previous promises as nothing.
If you fart, you will abandon us like nothing.
This time, Commander Zhou personally promised in front of all the brothers that as long as he is still alive and as long as the brothers are still willing to follow him, he will never leave any brother behind.
What else can I say? Everyone has seen the heroic performance of Commander Zhou’s troops in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. Commander Zhou’s benevolence and righteousness to everyone after the war was not only in treating everyone’s injuries, but also in treating those who were injured.
The brothers who returned home were given generous transportation and settlement allowances. Even the brothers who stayed in the army, didn’t all of them receive much more military pay than before?
Moreover, Director Zhang of the Party Headquarters (formerly Director of the Political Department of the Second Detachment, Zhang Xinhua) also revealed privately that all the money was paid for by Chief Zhou himself, and the Party Headquarters did not contribute even a penny.
Being able to follow such a superior is a blessing gained over several lifetimes. How could we not be willing to do so?
It's just a pity that Chief Zhou didn't take his brothers to the Great Wall with him, otherwise we would have shown those party bosses that none of us who came out of the 19th Route Army would be bad at killing the Japanese.
When the instructors who were familiar with them came to the camp and handed out brand-new military uniforms and pairs of combat shoes to the brothers, the brothers suddenly felt a little ashamed.
They were ashamed of the assurances and promises they had made when parting with these instructors.
They had promised that in the days to come they would strictly follow the knowledge and skills they had learned and continue to train, and they must become proficient in the tactics taught by the instructors.
However, the brothers didn't do it! They took what others had and took what they had, but in the end they broke their trust. I felt a little sorry for Commander Zhou and these young instructors.
They were ashamed that they had fought side by side with these instructors, and they were all good guys who killed the Japanese. But now, the instructors once again returned from the anti-Japanese battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but these brothers like themselves were fighting for a few
The military pay was slack.
A few people even subconsciously pinched their belly skin and found that their abdominal muscles, which were as hard as iron, were a little loose. They immediately made up their minds to train their original bodies back no matter what this time... No!
It's about training to become stronger than before. Don't embarrass the instructors.
Therefore, the training work of the Second Regiment went smoothly beyond Zhou Wen's expectations.
Originally, these officers and soldiers were veterans of hundreds of battles. After nearly half a year of training by Zhou Wen last year, they had basically qualified for the mercenary group's tactical and personal quality requirements.
And this time they didn't slack off for a long time, so after Chen Wanli and his friends went through some training, the brothers of the second regiment also learned their shame and became brave, and actively cooperated. As a result, in less than two months, the original anti-Japanese tiger team
All the energy and energy came back.
When Zhou Wen got out of the car, the ones who winked at him and Zhang Xiaoping were a few instructors from the group.
This time Zhou Wen specially transferred 120 officers and soldiers from the Second Regiment who had performed well and had sailed ships and worked on the docks in Guangdong.
Seeing Manager Wang trotting over, looking very anxious, Zhou Wen knew what he was worried about?
Of course Zhou Wen knows the rules, or unspoken rules, at the docks in Shanghai.
But Zhou Wen didn't take it to heart, and he didn't intend to just abide by these unwritten rules.
Just kidding, I bought the land with my own money. Of course, I am the one who makes the decision. I don’t need outsiders to tell me what to do.
Although Qianqie Fengyu Wharf is said to belong to the Yangtze River Company, it is actually one of the strongholds of the mercenary group in Shanghai. He will not hire outsiders without knowing the details of the other party.
Of course, Zhou Wen also welcomes real management talents, as well as those skilled shipwrights and ship bosses from Qichang Foreign Company in the past, who are willing to come. But anyone who comes to Yangtze River Company must abide by Zhou Wen's rules and don't let those local snakes bully others.
Kind of small actions and thoughts.
As for coolies helping transport workers and the like, Zhou Wen doesn't need them.
Just kidding, I have to pay for the help of outsiders even if I don’t use nearly two thousand of my powerful subordinates. Have I burned out my brain by having too much money?
What's more, Zhou Wen's use of his soldiers to help out is itself a kind of reward measure for the officers and soldiers of the training corps.
