On that day, Liu Yu had a busy day and wrote a report in his office.
Another day passed, and on the third day, which was the afternoon of October 28, Liu Shuai, He Shuai, Nie Shuai, General Chen and others arrived in Yangquan, intending to take the plane in Liu Yu's hands and go to Yan'an to study with Lao Song. The ideological program of the rectification movement.
Of course, they didn't leave on the same day. The few people who came to Yangquan were already very tired, so they planned to rest here for two days before heading to Yan'an.
Liu Yu is naturally hospitable. Yesterday, during the special team's outdoor survival training, that naughty boy Ma Chao shot a wild deer and brought it back, just in time to entertain some leaders.
At the dinner table, everyone was chatting happily. Suddenly Liu Shuai thought of something and asked Liu Yu: "Yu Wazi, you said you brought 40 tons of gold this time. Did you really hand over all this money?"
Liu Yu was eating his food when he was suddenly asked and was stunned for a moment.
Just like that, the last piece of venison on the plate was taken away by General Chen. Liu Yu was about to cry without tears. He could only pick up the plate, mix the soup and continue to eat. At the same time, he said vaguely: "Should we keep the gold?" What’s the use? It’s better to give it to the central bank to issue more RMB.”
After taking the last bite of rice, Liu Yu was still not satisfied. He stood up and walked to the rice bowl. While serving the rice, he said: "Now our RMB has been recognized by the people in the base area, but the circulation is still too small, so that most of the people under our rule are still They are bartering. There are too many concerns about issuing additional credit currency, and the economic growth of the region must be taken into consideration."
After serving the rice, he returned to the dining table and continued: "Our statistical system is not yet complete enough to accurately judge the economic conditions of all base areas. If we want to issue additional currency, we must have enough hard currency as support. That 40 tons Although there is not much gold, it is enough to issue an additional 200 million yuan, which will play a great role in our economic development."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Liu Yu picked up the plate, poured the juice inside into the rice bowl, mixed it, and continued to cook the rice.
The others were stunned by Liu Yu's words. When asked to fight, they were all excellent players. When it came to the economy, they felt that they had no say at all.
After Liu Shuai pondered for a while, he said: "The organization cannot ask for your gold in vain. If you have any requests, please mention them and we will convey them to you."
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic and stopped eating. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stretched out three fingers and said: "I really have three requests. Our military region has just recruited more than 80,000 new soldiers and is preparing to reorganize three divisions. The cadres of two of the divisions are considered to be enough. I would like to ask the organization to help me find the cadres of the remaining division. Tang Tianji is tentatively selected as the division commander. The political commissar has not been able to find a good candidate, so I think I will choose the 115th Division Teaching Group. Tang Yanjie can be transferred to me, let’s create a double Tang combination."
Commander Nie, who was next to him, didn't react at first. After hearing the last sentence, he stood up suddenly, looked at Liu Shuai and cursed: "Old Liu, do you still care? You don't care if I beat someone!"
"Tsk!" Liu Shuai was holding back his laughter. When he saw Commander Nie coming towards him, he sneered: "You beat someone without even looking at your own physique. Can you beat him? Besides, our Liu Yu has given you a lot of equipment this time. I heard that all the equipment of the 41st Division has been given to you. Isn't it enough to replace Tang Yanjie? Also, whether to transfer people or not has to be decided by the organization. What are you anxious about now? ?”
"Hey?"
Commander Nie wanted to rant again, but Commander He calmed him down: "Yunzhen, sit down first and listen to what he has to say. Whether you can tempt someone or not depends on what the headquarters wants."
With that said, Commander He looked at Liu Yu again and motioned for him to continue.
Liu Yu winked at Commander Nie. He had been thinking about the fierce general Tang Yanjie for more than a day or two.
Not to mention that when Liu Yu attacked Yangquan before, Tang Yanjie led his troops to attack hundreds of miles, blow up the railway bridge, and resist the 37th Division for 4 hours. In the Battle of Jinzhong, he led a regiment to capture Shiling Pass first, and then held off the fierce attack of Hyakutake Haruyoshi's independent 4th Brigade for two days until Commander Nie arrived with the main force of the 115th Division and gave him Liu Yu created the conditions by annihilating two divisions.
Just like that, how could Liu Yu not love him?
"The second point is that I have formed a special operations team. Currently, there are only 18 people. They have been training for almost two months and have gradually matured. I plan to expand the special operations team. These soldiers will have to be selected from our entire army. At that time, all ministries have to send people to run for election, and they must send good ones among the veterans, and those who are crooked will not be counted."
General Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He sat next to Liu Yu. When Liu Yu asked Tang Yanjie just now, he was also snickering. Now he grabbed Liu Yu's collar and said, "Forget it about recruiting cadres. Now you want to slap our spines?”
Like Brother Yunlong, Liu Yu was a little afraid of this old brigade commander. This old man started to fight with real force. If Liu Yu hadn't been able to hide quickly last time, the big soles of more than 40 yards would have been there. On his face.
Liu Yu laughed and said: "Don't worry, old brigade commander. Those so-called elites of yours may not be able to pass the selection of our special forces. Special forces and regular infantry are two different things. They can't just fight."
"I say you......"
"What are you doing?" Commander He, who was silent but had the hottest temper with some peanuts on his side, frowned and criticized, "If you want to beat him, drag him out and beat him. Everyone is still the commander of the military region." Well, what does it look like?"
Although his words were impartial, everyone could tell that he was favoring Liu Yu. After all, if General Chen wanted to beat him, Liu Yu would not dare to fight back...
Commander Chen then let go of Liu Yu angrily.
That expression clearly means: Just pamper him!
Liu Yu straightened his collar and raised three fingers with a smile: "The third point is, the intellectuals will arrange a batch for me. The factories in Yangquan Industrial Base have basically been built, and the production capacity is gradually increasing, but currently most of them Some technicians, experts, and professors are foreigners, and they may be clamoring to return to China someday, and they still can’t believe that if a new technology is developed one day, they won’t be able to keep it secret! So we must cultivate our own scientific research talents so that This group of intellectuals studied behind those foreigners, and after squeezing them dry, they established a scientific research institute with all Chinese scholars. This is very important and is directly related to our future development! There is no requirement on the number of people, the more the merrier anyway!"
Liu Shuai and others nodded repeatedly, and Commander Nie even agreed: "This last point is a great thing. I will help you apply when the time comes!"
"That's a good relationship! Oh, by the way!" Liu Yu suddenly remembered something, took out a document bag from the back of the seat, and said, "I thought about it for a day before you guys came, and now several old leaders have arrived. Let me show you all this report."
General Chen, who was very close, took the lead in receiving Liu Yu's report. When he saw the title, he couldn't help but read it directly: "Recommendations on the reorganization of our army?"
Liu Yu nodded and looked at Liu Shuai: "Yes, I mentioned it to the teacher last time, saying that for the three main divisions of the 115th Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division, we would conduct a round of reorganization with reference to the 122nd Division. This time we laid down We entered the Jinzhong Basin and seized a large amount of equipment. Apart from the two batches sent to Commander Nie and the old brigade commander, I still have Japanese equipment from at least 4 divisions in my hand."
Then he looked at the others: "These equipment, plus what each department currently has, I think is enough for our army to reorganize 10 main divisions. What is currently lacking is the supplies needed for daily training, but I believe that with the 40 tons After gold is issued, the additional 200 million yuan is enough to support us in completing this reorganization plan!"
The report written by Liu Yu was a bit long, and Commander Chen didn't finish reading it for a long time. Others were anxious and came over to read it together.
"Each division has three infantry regiments, one each for artillery, engineering, and baggage, plus directly affiliated battalion-level units such as security, reconnaissance, and joint logistics. This is an adaptation of the Japanese army's special division!" Commander He While reading, I recited some lyrics.
Liu Yu took a sip of water and nodded: "It's almost the same. The number of people will be a little more than that of the designated division. Moreover, our army's organizational structure is more rigorous, the soldiers' willpower is more tenacious, and with systematic training, such a division can definitely complete the task." The special division of the Japanese bombers can even have a chance against the permanent division! If the quality of the soldiers is raised to a higher level, the permanent division will also be able to support it! You have also seen this Hundred Regiment Battle, and our unit has a 364 The brigade defeated the 41st Division. Although it had the help of the temporary armored battalion, it was enough to prove that under scientific training methods, the combat effectiveness of the troops will change qualitatively!"
Commander Nie frowned and complained: "In your case, each division has an artillery regiment with 36 105-caliber howitzers. Each regiment has an artillery battalion with 75mm field guns and 120mm heavy-duty cannons. There are 12 mortars each. Not counting these, the baggage regiment must be equipped with at least 200 trucks. In total, a division has at least 500 trucks. Where do we get so many artillery and trucks?"
Commander He also said: "Not to mention these heavy equipment, it is simply impossible to do it with just one light machine gun per squad. Even if we can do it, we can't afford the ammunition."
Before Liu Yu could speak, Liu Shuai retorted: "This shows that your intelligence work is not good enough. Now that the automobile factory in Yangquan Industrial Base has been completed and several arsenals have been put into production, what is the monthly output?"
Then he looked at Liu Yu again.
Liu Yu quickly replied: "With the addition of this group of American technicians, the current monthly production of rifles in our three arsenals has reached 3,000. If the production capacity is fully developed, the monthly production can reach 10,000 rifles and 500 light and heavy machine guns." It’s pretty good, and at the same time, it can produce a total of 200 artillery pieces of various types every month! As for cars, the two production lines can produce a maximum of 150 cars per month!”
"The steelmaking plant in our military region has also been put into operation. Although the production capacity is far from full, it can still produce 100,000 tons of steel per year." Liu Yu said quickly.
After hearing this, Liu Shuai and others thought for a while, and finally, Liu Shuai said: "It is a very important matter, and we still have to discuss it with the central government and the headquarters in detail before we can draw a conclusion. We will discuss the details after we come back from this trip! "
