The recruitment of the security camp seemed easy. As soon as Tang Dao arrived, Zhuang Shisan, who was quite unruly, immediately stopped working. In fact, there were also mutual compromises and confrontations.
Inspired by Qian Dazhu, Tang Dao personally called the headquarters to request the recruitment of the first security battalion. Wang Gongyu was a local official, and the title of major general was just a false title. The two lieutenant generals also needed the help of this local snake, even if they wanted to help
Tang Dao cannot use his power to overwhelm others. Tang Dao wants to swallow up an infantry battalion in one breath, so he has to persuade Wang Gongyu himself.
Tang Dao must give Commissioner Wang the face and dignity, even if he is hindered by the face of the two lieutenant generals, he will eventually agree no matter how reluctant he is.
But Tang Dao hoped even more that because the commander of the security regiment had no regrets, the first battalion of the security regiment would be willing to join the security battalion from top to bottom.
Just like the marriage of young people, if there is no blessing from the elders, no matter how much love you have in love during the excitement, the ending will be as heartless as possible.
The two sat in the garden outside the headquarters for half an hour. No one except the person involved knew what they said.
Wang Gongyu, who finally relented and agreed to Tang Dao, looked calm, but in fact it was already in turmoil.
Having been in the officialdom for more than ten years, he thinks he is fairly accurate in judging people. As for Tang Dao, he prefers that this young man is a talented soldier. War is his stage. The bigger the stage, the brighter his future will be.
.
However, after Tang Dao had a heart-to-heart talk with him for half an hour, he discovered that he was still wrong about this young army lieutenant colonel whose performance on the battlefield was almost brilliant.
There is absolutely no way that Tang Dao is just a 'second-generation native' from a family with a bit of family business. He definitely received higher education and rigorous training, not just in the military, but also in society, humanities, and history.
It has incredibly common insights.
For example, what Tang Dao really convinced him was not knowing his Wang Gongyu's past very well, including his passionate organization of the Iron-Blooded National Salvation Corps when he was young, running the group magazine "Iron-Blooded", and having contact with that party with lofty ideals.
It is not to tell him that as long as he can survive this war, Wang Gongyu will definitely become a high-ranking member of Jiangsu Province and rise to the top of the province.
Rather, it is his view on this war.
Wang Gongyu is not a soldier. As for the war, he prefers to use all the troops of the country to fight the war proposed by the top management. Japan cannot be conquered for a long time, and the League of Nations intervenes to mediate. The two sides will be like the "December 28th Incident" a few years ago.
Although there was a lot of fighting, they finally got to the negotiating table, but at most they would have to pay a certain price and return to the situation before the war.
But Tang Dao said that this will be a protracted war, and the time and front will be stretched to a length and width that the Japanese cannot imagine. As long as China does not surrender, the Japanese will fall into a quagmire. The national power that once seemed strong will
It will be consumed little by little.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. China has nothing but land and its industry is very poor. As long as it can fill its belly and keep people from starving to death, they can fight with the Japanese, but Japan cannot do that. If they want to completely conquer China, they can just eat.
If their bellies are full, they must have enough steel to build more ships, tanks and artillery, and to transport these behemoths from Japan to mainland China, they need oil.
That means that if they want to maintain a costly war with China, they have to go to other countries to steal food from their mouths. The closest one is naturally Southeast Asia, and Southeast Asia is forbidden to the West.
At that time, Japan, even if it knew that it would lead to bad consequences, could only drink poison to quench its thirst and brazenly attack Southeast Asia. That was China's opportunity and the chance to win the war.
What Tang Dao said was both the great man's future definition of protracted war and the inherent trajectory of history. At the beginning of the war, most people were only thinking about how to crush the Japanese delusion of destroying China in one fell swoop.
Coming out of this point of view, not to mention Wang Gongyu, who is ignorant of military affairs, I am afraid that the generals in the theater headquarters will regard Tang Dao as a heavenly being when they hear it.
Generals who have experienced battles for a long time always have a keener sense of war. They can break through the fog in front of them, but they just lack a direction guide.
But this does not prevent Wang Gongyu from appreciating the unique concept of "protracted war" proposed by Tang Dao.
In addition, Wang Gongyu admires Tang Dao's definition of the Japanese nation very much, which can be said to be accurate.
"The Japanese nation is a nation destined to be lonely. The barren land and the characteristics of an island country force them to learn from the outside world if they want to become outstanding. The first place they choose is China. They learned Chinese Confucianism and Confucianism from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Buddhism, but can never learn the essence of Chinese Taoism.
Because Taoism advocates that Tao follows nature and takes one step back to open up the sea and the sky. However, Japan cannot take a half-step back. When they step back, the sea is quite wide.
Therefore, this lonely nation could only gamble heavily on the destiny of the country again and again. They won the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and they won again. This time, it was the Sino-Japanese War.
There is a saying in China that you can’t do it again and again. When it comes to gambling, how about having good luck every time?”
Wang Gongyu will always remember the sparkle of wisdom in Tang Dao's eyes when he analyzed the Japanese nation. At that moment, he even admired the young man in front of him.
To express your understanding of a nation in such a simple and easy-to-understand language full of humor requires enough wisdom.
If you hand over one of your security camps to such a person, maybe one day he will achieve something he couldn't imagine?
Wang Gongyu himself is a very successful businessman. He has an intuition that this time may become the most important investment in his life, taking one of his security camps.
Facts have also proved that he is indeed more suitable to be a businessman than to be an official, ever since the moment he decided to hand over the Security Battalion to Tang Dao.
Time and space are like a crossroads with countless choices. Different choices lead to different destiny trajectories for each dimension.
This future businessman, in this time and space, made a huge investment in advance with huge profits.
Tang Dao didn't even promise him anything, he just used his knowledge of history and his extensive information on future people to convince him.
But for Wang Gongyu, isn’t the essence of venture capital just relying on pie making? Although Tang Dao has never promised to give people pie, for people at this point in time, their country and nation will eventually win the pie.
, attractive enough.
Recruiting a battalion was only the next step. Tang Dao also used the method of eating a battalion of the security regiment in one bite to tell the other infantry regiments in Songjiang concisely and clearly that Commander Tang Da of the security battalion was not just for fighting.
That was indeed the 'arrogant' approach of a lieutenant colonel who saw that he couldn't dig out an infantry platoon, so he simply took the pot and took the blame. The other infantry regiment commanders who were still grinding and refusing to release the infantry platoon collectively turned off their fire and released them with a wave of their pens.
.
If they don't let go, if Battalion Commander Tang does this again and swallows up an infantry company, they will have no place to cry.
Besides, there are only 400 men in the garrison battalion and seven infantry regiments, each with fifty or sixty men. Although they are all excellent officers and soldiers, they are not broken at all.
Within an hour and a half, all the 630 newly transferred officers and soldiers were in place. In addition to the 210 people under Tang Dao's command who could still participate in the battle, the total strength of the garrison battalion reached 840 people, exceeding the 800 people stipulated by the headquarters.
Naturally, as long as the two bosses in the headquarters didn't say anything, others would pretend they didn't see anything.
The number of three infantry companies reached 450, the guard company had 150 people, and the fire support company had 200 people. The remaining 40 people were organized by Tang Dao into a guard class and a communications class directly under the battalion headquarters, which can be regarded as the last strength in Tang Dao's hands.
Of course, Tang Dao didn't really ask Qian Dazhu to be the communications platoon leader.
Perhaps Wang Gongyu's previous impressions of Tang Dao can be used to describe this new second lieutenant platoon leader. He should be that kind of talented soldier. The bigger the stage given to him, the more exciting his performance will be.
Tang Dao was very much looking forward to what kind of brilliance the seedling he had discovered would shine on his own stage after going through several battles.
It is because of these excellent soldiers who emerged one after another in the war that China finally had the last laugh in this asymmetric war.
But in the end, Tang Dao didn't know how many of those outstanding or ordinary Chinese soldiers were alive to celebrate victory. Tang Dao only knew that what was written in historical records was that Chinese soldiers suffered millions of casualties in this battle.
Tang Dao cannot decide everyone's fate, but he can give some people a stage.
Tang Dao awarded Qian Dazhu the position of platoon leader of the 2nd platoon of the 2nd company of the Security Battalion, indirectly preserving his original Sichuan Army infantry platoon organization.
Tang Dao thought very carefully. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Company was concurrently served by the second deputy battalion commander Liu Zhenshan. The backbone of the 2nd Infantry Company were also more than 40 people from the original Sichuan Army Company. In addition, Tang Dao came from Guo Junzuo and
The few second lieutenant officers obtained by Lao Wang can be regarded as supporting the skeleton of the 2nd company. Nearly 100 people need to be supplemented, 50 of whom are officers and soldiers of the original 1st Battalion of the Security Regiment, and 50 officers and soldiers who are transferred from the 67th Army.
Almost all the 220 people in the first battalion of the Security Regiment were separated and joined three infantry companies, but no one complained. Not only did they know that there was a gap in combat effectiveness between the veterans of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army, but Tang Dao's arrangements were also very detailed.
, Zhuang Shisan became the third deputy battalion commander and concurrently served as the commander of the 3rd Infantry Company. Tang Dao also personally selected 20 people from the security battalion to join the battalion headquarters.
There are a total of 40 people in the security class and communications class, and the security battalion takes up half of it at once. It also represents an honor, and the slight resentment of the troops being broken up has naturally disappeared.
Tang Dao also had a little orderly beside him.
The thirteen-year-old bald boy has two heavy shell guns hanging on his waist. One of them has been damaged and has not been repaired. The bloody ammunition belt slung across his body is filled with yellow and orange bullets. The murderous appearance contrasts with his appearance.
His childish face and the military uniform that even the smallest size looked too bulky on him looked a bit funny.
