the next day
A young man got out of the car at the gate of the 14th Army station.
After the young man got out, the car turned around and drove away.
When the guard saw this man saluting, he ran over and saluted and shouted: "Chief of Staff!"
The young man nodded in frustration and asked, "Is the leader inside?"
"At the Chief of Staff."
"Okay," the young man said and wanted to walk inside.
Suddenly, his eyes accidentally glanced at the gun carried by the soldier, his eyes full of shock.
"Where did you get this gun? Show it to me."
The young man sighed while stroking the gun handed to him by the soldier.
"The material is made of genuine Lee Enfield and you can tell it is genuine once you touch it."
"Tell me quickly, where did you get this gun?"
"Chief of Staff, a batch of supplies arrived yesterday, and now the whole regiment has been equipped with this gun. Don't tell me, Chief of Staff, this gun is really useful." The soldier said with a smile.
"All...all have this gun?" The young man stared at the gun in his hand with wide eyes, then threw it to the soldier and ran into the station.
As soon as he entered the station, he saw soldiers each holding a Lee Enfield and shooting targets.
"Hey, who's here?" Song Tiance walked over slowly with a smile on his face, and then deliberately lifted his clothes to reveal the pistol on his waist.
"How are you, Chief of Staff? How was the mission accomplished?" Song Tiance asked.
"Colt m1911?"
"Song Tiance, what are you doing? What's going on? Why did you change all your equipment!"
The young man's name is Xu Zhiyong, who is the chief of staff of the 14th Regiment. He is also Qin Jinhong and Song Tiance's classmate at the command academy. They later joined the army together and died as brothers. Xu Zhiyong can also be said to be Qin Jinhong's think tank.
"Then I have to thank the leader. I don't know where the leader got the supplies. Ying Qiqi saw it, right? There are also light and heavy machine guns, hahaha." Song Tiance laughed, and then pulled out the gun from the other waist. A pistol was handed to Xu Zhiyong.
"This is yours, take it, scholar." Song Tiance handed the gun to Xu Zhiyong, and then said: "Go to the regiment leader, the regiment leader is waiting for you."
Xu Zhiyong took the gun and glared at Song Tiance before walking towards Qin Jinhong's house.
Xu Zhiyong entered the room and saw Qin Jinhong looking at the map.
"Captain, I'm back."
Qin Jinhong looked up at Xu Zhiyong, smiled, and asked, "Why are you so downcast?"
Xu Zhiyong sighed and said, "The task you gave me has not been completed."
"hehe"
"That's it?"
"I expected that you didn't complete the mission. This is not your problem." Qin Jinhong looked at the map and said, obviously he did not blame Xu Zhiyong.
"The Thirty-seventh Division is too bullying. When I went to the Thirty-seventh Division's logistics department, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma. They didn't even give me a grain of food. Moreover, there was an administrator who contacted me the whole time, and the management team was there. Didn’t come out”
"Don't be angry. What's there to be angry about? Is this normal? We are just an abandoned army now. When we are prosperous, they will definitely get involved. When we are down, they will not be able to avoid us." Qin Jinhong said lightly.
"Besides, you've seen the weapons outside, do you think their support is important?" Qin Jinhong said with a chuckle.
"By the way, Captain, where did you get so much equipment?" Xu Zhiyong stepped forward and asked.
"I will tell you later. Now is not the time. In short, as long as we continue to expand our strength, supplies will continue to flow."
"A steady stream of real and fake captains?" Xu Zhiyong's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what Qin Jinhong said.
"of course it's true."
"By the way, I'll give you a task."
"Commander, please tell me." Xu Zhiyong immediately stood at attention, waiting for orders.
"From today onwards, you will be responsible for recruiting soldiers, and tell the villagers that the new recruits will receive a military salary of one silver dollar per month and will be in charge of food every day. The initial number of recruits will be set at 1,000."
"Captain, do we have so much food and military pay?" Xu Zhiyong's face looked a little unnatural.
"Haha, go and check out the warehouse yourself." Qin Jinhong waved his hand after finishing speaking.
Hearing what the regiment leader said, Xu Zhiyong felt a little unsure. He didn't expect that this batch of supplies would also include food and military pay. This was something he never expected.
"Yes, Captain, I'll get ready right now."
"By the way, tell Song Tiance that training can't stop for a moment!" Qin Jinhong said.
"Yes, leader!"
…
The 37th Division station!
Jian County.
Inside a small villa with a two-story white building.
A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt was sitting in the living room looking at documents.
This middle-aged man is Cao Yi, commander of the 39th Division.
At this time, a man wearing a light blue military uniform walked in from the door. The man's collar had a military rank of 23 cents.
It was Sun Shu, colonel and chief of staff of the 39th Division.
"Master, the people sent by the Fourteenth Division have left." Sun Shu said.
"Yeah" Cao Yi nodded and asked without raising his head: "Who sent the 14th Regiment?"
"Chief of Staff of the regiment," Sun Shu said.
"Master, I always feel that what we have done in this matter is a bit overwhelming." Sun Shu said with a frown.
"Huh~" Cao Yi let out a long breath. He leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Why don't I want to help them, but I can't resist the governor's secret order."
"I think you and I both knew the combat effectiveness of these fourteen regiments. How can it not be heartbreaking to lose me like this?" Cao Yi stood up and walked to the door, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back.
"Now they're on their own."
"But what can they do if they need people but no money, no money, and no guns? I've also heard that this new regiment leader is very capable in the original army, so much so that he was promoted to regiment leader at the age of 24 this year. , but no matter how powerful he is, he can't develop an army without any equipment."
Cao Yi shook his head, and then walked upstairs. As he walked, he said calmly: "Then it depends on what the new leader can do to turn things around." After that, he went straight upstairs.
"Alas..." Sun Shu sighed, then shook his head: "Turn the world around? He's not Sun Wukong, can he still change weapons?"
"How can we develop without weapons? It's ridiculous."
Sun Shu laughed to himself and left the villa.
He knew that the master also had difficulties. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he didn't have the ability. After all, he still belonged to the imperial court, and it was the intention of the higher-ups in the imperial court to let the new commander of the 14th Regiment fend for himself.
