Taking a deep breath, Zhang Kai continued to show his friendly smile.
"Commander Ren, do you know that our senior officer has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel and is in charge of the position of deputy commander of the Northern Region?"
"Of course I know. I've read about this in the newspaper before, but this governor is only a temporary one." Ren Wei emphasized.
"Captain Ren, you are right. He is indeed a temporary replacement. But do you know that half a year ago, our chief was just an unknown soldier?"
"This is impossible!"
Hearing this, Ren Wei stood up immediately.
But then he discovered that Zhang Kai's eyes were very calm and did not seem to be fake.
Then he glanced at Beishan next to him without any trace, and found that the other person's eyes had not changed much.
He had dealt with Beishan several times, and he quite recognized his style, but the person he sent to contact him later was not very good.
But this did not affect his regard for the old man Beishan. Seeing the same expression on his face, his credibility immediately increased.
Naturally, Beishan's expression will not change much.
After all, he had asked Zhao Ming overtly and secretly before, and even sent people to inquire about Zhao Ming's subordinates to inquire about Zhao Ming's situation.
He did know some of Zhao Ming's situation, but he was not surprised at all.
After all, he had seen Zhao Ming's age with his own eyes. It was not surprising that such a young man probably came from a family of officials.
"What's your origin, Chief Zhao? There are no high-ranking officials named Zhao, but I've never heard of them under Yan Laoxi... Wait, is it Zhao..."
Suddenly, Ren Wei vaguely remembered the number one figure, the commander-in-chief of the cavalry of the Jinsui Army! Zhao...
Perhaps because he was shocked by his inner thoughts, Ren Wei didn't realize that Zhang Kai's face was also a little stunned at this time.
It seems that something is not quite as expected!
According to Zhao Ming's instructions at the beginning, Zhang Kai planned to vaguely explain some of the friendship between Zhao Ming and Chief Song. The vague words made it seem that the relationship was not simple.
But now the other party seems to have had a different idea, but the effect seems to be better!
"What on earth do you want to do? How can I move my position?"
After calming down a little, Ren Wei sat down again and said in a deep voice.
"That depends on whether Captain Ren wants to cooperate with us."
"How to say?"
\"The reason why my father-in-law was promoted to deputy governor is inconvenient to say part of the reasons, but more importantly, my father-in-law was able to fight and win wars!
The biggest headache for the higher-ups right now is nothing more than the Outer Mongols.
If you say that if we can swallow all this group of Outer Mongols in one breath, how much credit will this have? \"
Hearing Zhang Kai's words, Ren Wei suddenly laughed.
"Haha! Are you kidding me? I heard that there will be a total of 30,000 troops in Outer Mongolia during this trip south.
Even if you have consumed a lot of each other's strength before, why can you eat so many people?
This is 30,000 people, not 30,000 pigs! Even if there are 30,000 pigs, will the pigs still not run away if they are offended? "
"Of course we know this. Of course the Outer Mongolians will run away.
But whether we can defeat the Outer Mongols is our business, and whether we can eat them is also our business.
But even if we can't win or eat them, we can still control their escape route! "
Bang!
Ren Wei slammed the table and shouted, "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?!"
Zhang Kai shrugged.
"I didn't mean that. After all, I just came here to discuss business. If Captain Ren is willing to cooperate with us, then my parents can guarantee it.
You don’t need to lift a finger as the leader, you will definitely have a share in this great contribution! "
This time, Ren Wei did not get angry, but silently took out a large wooden stick from the drawer, struck a match and lit it.
The cigarettes gradually relaxed his mind, and he began to silently think about the feasibility of it.
After a while, he asked calmly, "With such great credit, why don't you, Chief Zhao, take advantage of it yourself? With this credit as a foundation, it will not be a problem for him to move his position up a little and firmly secure the position of deputy capital commander. Bar?"
"That's normally the case."
Zhang Kai nodded, then helplessly spread his hands,
"Unfortunately, my parents' seniority is too low, so it is possible to secure the position of deputy commander, but it is unlikely to be promoted further in the military rank.
The one above is a colonel. You know the rank of colonel. You can imagine how difficult it is. "
"No way? Your parents are too junior? Isn't there someone else behind him?" Ren Wei asked suspiciously.
"Yes, but my parents are only in their early twenties this year, so..."
Hearing Zhang Kai's words, Ren Wei was speechless for a while, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
"From this point of view, it is indeed impossible for a colonel." Ren Wei sighed.
In fact, these are the years when military ranks are promoted relatively quickly.
Especially during the Northern Expedition, as long as you fought hard enough and didn't stand on the wrong team, your promotion would be as fast as a rocket.
But the fastest period was still in the Beiyang period, when promotion was really fast, mainly because there was a shortage of officers at that time.
However, with the gradual end of the Northern Expedition and the civil war, and the nominal reunification of principals, the promotion rate has gradually slowed down since this year.
And set a years threshold, for example, it takes three years for a major to be promoted to a lieutenant colonel.
But there are hidden rules involved, such as faction and origin.
Generally speaking, before the Anti-Japanese War, graduates from military academies who returned from overseas were promoted the fastest, followed by direct military academies such as Huangpu, and then local military academies.
Those who study abroad also have to decide where to study.
Basically, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel is already the limit for ordinary people's promotion. If a colonel has made great achievements, he can still expect to be promoted. But at this time time and age are very important.
As for a school-level officer being promoted to general, it is not something you can do just by performing well.
At the general level, basically if you are not from Baoding or Huangpu, it is difficult to be promoted even if you graduate from studying abroad.
But it is difficult, and it is not impossible.
For example, who is the big shot behind the scenes? Are there any big shots who can help stand up, or how are their meritorious services performed? Wait for these factors to affect.
This is why Ren Wei is very surprised by Zhao Ming's promotion speed, because it doesn't matter, it is very rare for him to be promoted so quickly, even among school-level officers.
Not to mention that Zhao Ming is still so young.
In fact, it was a coincidence that Zhao Ming was promoted so quickly.
Normally, even with previous military exploits, it would be impossible to be promoted to lieutenant colonel.
After all, when the lieutenant-level officer was promoted to lieutenant colonel, it was Lao Song who forcibly promoted him. Although he performed well in Fengxiang, it was not a problem for his superiors to slow down.
It's not impossible to wait for two years. After all, Zhao Ming is still very young.
As a result, he directly promoted Zhao Ming in order to place the chess piece.
Although his military exploits on the grassland were not small, he had to slow down his promotion to lieutenant colonel.
But this time, it was the principal who first expressed his intention to promote Zhao Ming. Due to the situation, Zhang Li had no choice but to promote Zhao Ming again.
Such a triple jump within half a year is very rare, even among some officials' children.
Therefore, Zhao Ming can be sure that even if he wants to eat all the Outer Mongolians in Chahar and be promoted to the rank of colonel through this wave, even if Zhang Li is willing, his superiors will not agree.
In this case, it is better to exchange these credits for substantial benefits.
Sometimes being an official is not just about being able to fight, but you also need to have the necessary humaneness and sophistication.
A set of mature and stable personal relationships needs to be managed in advance.
He has already considered how to divide the cake of this battle.
