This time, Chu Yunfei came to the New Group to observe and learn, and gained a deeper understanding of the New Group and benefited a lot.
At the same time, it is certain that it is not a problem for a figure like Shen Quan to be granted the title of marquis or prime minister in the future.
No wonder Commander Yan, the commander of the war zone, asked Chu Yunfei to try and win over Shen Quan to join the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Such a talent would be rare for everyone to see!
After truly realizing the fighting ability of the New Regiment, Chu Yunfei also realized a fact in his heart: in the future, when the 358th Regiment encounters the New Regiment, they must avoid it.
Although the two regiments are not much different in terms of strength and weapons and equipment.
However, the individual combat capabilities and combat consciousness of the 358th Regiment and the New Regiment are vastly different.
"Brother Shen, the new regiment's powerful fighting power has really opened my eyes. If my 358th regiment is in trouble in the future, I hope Brother Shen can help!"
Chen Quan replied: "They are all anti-Japanese troops. Brother Chu's troops are in trouble, and I, Chen Quan, have no excuses."
After saying that, Shen Quan continued to joke: "After getting along with each other for the past two days, I found that I had a lot of fun talking with Brother Chu. Why don't you bring the 358th group over and work with me.
The new regiment does not have a deputy leader yet. This position can be filled by Brother Chu. If it doesn't work, you can become the leader. We are all brothers. Who should be the leader? "
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Brother Shen is too drunk and started telling me jokes."
"Tell me the truth, Brother Shen. I, Chu Yunfei, joined the army not to be an official, but for this country and this nation to be able to drive out the invaders as soon as possible and live a good life as the master of the country."
"So no matter which unit Chu is in or what doctrine he is loyal to, the ultimate goal is to drive away the invaders."
"So Chu is here, thank you Brother Shen for your kindness!"
"Brother Chu is still a tough thinker, and what he says is level-headed!" Shen Quan laughed: "Now that the 358th Regiment has strong soldiers, it would be really unfair to ask Brother Chu to come to my new regiment as deputy commander!"
Shen Quan was not too surprised by Chu Yunfei's rejection.
After all, he knew Chu Yunfei. Ever since he entered Huangpu, he had firmly chosen to be loyal to Mr. Jiang. He was also appreciated by Commander Yan of the war zone and became his favorite general, with a bright future.
If Chu Yunfei really agreed to Shen Quan's invitation, then Shen Quan would not dare to rashly let Chu Yunfei serve as the deputy leader of the new regiment.
Who knows what is buried in his heart?
"Since Brother Shen has talked about this, I might as well boldly invite Brother Shen to join our Jinsui Army. I guarantee that Brother Shen will be a high-ranking official and have a bright future!"
Chu Yunfei rushed to speak and asked Shen Quan directly.
This time when he came to the New Regiment, the more important thing was to be entrusted by Commander Yan to test and try to win over the New Regiment led by Shen Quan.
"Brother Shen also knows that our Jinsui Army is a regular army with a legal unit designation and enjoys military funds and materials allocated by superiors. As long as Brother Shen wants the equipment, Commander Yan in the theater can handle it."
"Brother Shen has extraordinary courage and extraordinary military command ability. As long as he joins the Shanxi-Sui Army, in time, it will not be a problem for Brother Shen to become a major general. Maybe Chu will become your subordinate by then. Wouldn't it be painful to join forces to fight the Japanese together?"
There are no military ranks in the Eighth Route Army.
However, the Jinsui Army belongs to the national army, and its commander has a formal military rank.
Today, Chu Yunfei is the commander of the 358th Regiment, and his military rank is colonel.
According to the rank and treatment of the national army, the rank of major general mentioned by Chu Yunfei is not low.
A person of this level can sit at the same table as Mr. Jiang when eating.
Chu Yunfei's words cheered up Shen Quan. He originally wanted to invite him to join the new regiment, but why did Chu Yunfei instead invite Shen Quan to join the Jinsui Army?
Shen Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Brother Chu really regards me as his brother. Such good things are done for me, brother, I am really touched."
Seeing this, Chu Yunfei quickly continued to add: "Commander Yan in the war zone is a person who appreciates talents very much. It is because of this that Chu has the status he has today.
If Brother Shen is willing to join us, we will need people, weapons, and military pay, and we will definitely give Brother Shen the highest treatment.
The war will end sooner or later. Doesn’t Brother Shen want to earn some money for his descendants? "
"Hahaha, Brother Chu really touched my heart!" Shen Quan pretended to be aggrieved: "I have been in Xinyi Regiment for so long, and I have never worn a new one. I always sewed them inside and out. Damn, I haven’t even worn any leather shoes.”
"But Brother Chu, I, Shen Quan, am just a mud-legged kid who walked out of a ravine. I have never been to school or Huangpu!
You know that if you want to save your life, you must learn to be self-reliant. I have been self-reliant for so many years, and it is not far behind now. "
"If Commander Yan cherishes talents, he should have helped me when I was still not famous, instead of inviting me with a high official and a generous salary after I have achieved all my achievements.
Besides, I, Shen Quan, have a bad temper. What if one day I say something wrong while drunk and offend Commander Yan, and he orders me to be shot?
I am like a sparrow living in the mountains and forests. You have to tell me that you are a canary, and then give me a magnificent cage. You call it a palace built for me. Isn’t this bluffing? "
"What do you think, Brother Chu?"
As a time traveler, Shen Quan is well aware of the direction of history, the problems existing in the national army, and who will be the leader of this country in Daxia in the future.
Therefore, even if Mr. Jiang ordered that Chen Quan, a high-ranking official, be given a generous salary, he would not join the national army.
Shen Quan's words seemed to be plain talk, but the truth was so unforgettable that Chu Yunfei couldn't find a reason to refute it.
With such eloquent eloquence, why on earth are you telling me that you are a mud-legged person?
"What Brother Shen said is not unreasonable. I can only say that everyone has his or her own future!" At this point, it was pointless for Chu Yunfei to continue to persuade him, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said: "I hope that one day, the 358th Regiment You can join forces with the new group to fight the Japanese."
"Don't worry, the days are long and there will definitely be opportunities." Shen Quan said.
This night, both of them revealed their bottom line to each other.
Shen Quan knew Chu Yunfei's sincere loyalty to the Jin-Sui Army.
And Chu Yunfei also knew that Shen Quan would never join the ranks of the Jinsui Army.
Although they are still working together now, Chu Yunfei cannot guarantee whether they will meet with each other in the future.

About the heroic deeds of the New Regiment’s crazy killing of Japanese soldiers in the Huting stronghold.
Soon it spread throughout northwest Shanxi, and the first to get the news was naturally the Eighth Route Headquarters.
At this moment, in the war room of the headquarters, several leaders were elated for the victory of the new regiment. The two leaders even proposed to promote Shen Quan to brigade commander.
