Chapter 13 Always maintain the character of a soldier!
That's right, due to the outbreak of the war, the Japanese army occupied important economic areas of China.

A large amount of wealth was plundered and military notes were issued, causing prices to soar.

The ratio of gold exchangeable to ocean is also constantly expanding.

At the beginning, a small yellow croaker could be exchanged for 40 yuan, and later it increased to 100 yuan.

Now it is approaching seven or eight hundred dollars.

Not only that, the price is the same every day.

Therefore, four small yellow croakers can definitely be exchanged for three to four thousand dollars on the black market.

Many people even prefer to pay a premium in exchange for gold.

This is why Meng Fanle couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard him say there were only four small yellow croakers.

Is this called having no money?
He really wanted to know what it was like for the other person to be rich.

"You should have told me earlier. They would definitely have no objection to having four small yellow croakers." Meng Fanle turned back into his lackey-like look.

For the one or two hundred people here, three or four thousand dollars would be enough.

As for the back pay of three months' military pay, Meng Fanle didn't even mention it.

"Okay, start registering now." Cun Yunsheng nodded.

"Yes, Commander." Meng Fanle responded quickly.

At this moment, he returned to his lackeyish appearance.

Cun Yunsheng told him to go east and definitely not west.

"Kang Huojian, he's fought in battles, he's a warrant officer and deputy platoon leader in the transportation battalion of the 17th Reorganization Division." The first person to stand up was Kang Huojian.

Ever since he had eaten a meal of pork stewed with vermicelli, he secretly vowed to eat meat every day.

So when Cun Yunsheng expressed his intention to recruit soldiers, he was the first to stand up and express his support, and even persuaded some of his fellow villagers and comrades to join.

"Good. With combat experience, you can be a second lieutenant platoon leader without any problem." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

Baggage is the lifeblood of an army, especially as the upcoming battle in Burma will put a huge test on logistics.

People like Kang Huojian who have combat experience are rare and valuable talents.

He believed that it would flourish in his hands.

"Li Sifu, Sichuan Army Corps, Heavy Machine Gun Company 2, corporal." Li Sifu said in a loud voice.

As a member of the Sichuan Army, Li Sifu naturally felt a sense of familiarity with Cun Yunsheng.

Naturally, I would choose to join the army.

"Well, good. Do a good job. Our heavy machine gun company will have hope in the future." Cun Yunsheng would praise everyone, especially the main members of the cannon fodder group, so he would naturally pay more attention to them.

Next it was Doubing's turn. He still looked honest and simple. He scratched his head first and then spoke shyly.

"My name is Gu Xiaomai. I'm from Baoding, Hebei. I'm a private in the baggage battalion of the newly formed 51st Division. I've fought in wars, but I've never been to school."

"Well, they all call me Doubing. The commander can also call me Doubing."

When he saw Cun Yunsheng, Doubing still had that silly expression on his face.

"Doubing, you don't look very old, but you have been in the army for quite a while." Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile.

"I joined the army early, and I also worked as an assistant machine gunner." Doubing explained quickly.

He was afraid that the other party would not let him join the army because of his short stature.

"Okay, I'll let you, the secondary shooter, be the main shooter for a while." Doubing was very happy with Cun Yunsheng's promise.

Before this, he had always envied the main shooter, and never expected that he would become a main shooter one day, which made him extremely happy.

"Who's the next one?" Cun Yunsheng waved his hand, signaling the next person.

At this time, Lin Yi, the outlier of the entire cannon fodder group, walked forward. It can be seen that his expression was very heavy.

But he straightened his uniform first, then saluted Cun Yunsheng. The medals on his chest collided with each other, making a ding-dong sound.

So much so that many people laughed.

They were more contemptuous of this major who had never fought in a war.

Although the defeated soldiers here came here for various reasons, they have basically all fought in wars.

It is indeed outrageous that a major has never fought in a war.

Many people thought that he was afraid of death.

"Lin Yi, from Shanghai, has never fought in a war." Lin Yi basically said this sentence with gritted teeth. He wanted to introduce himself more, but didn't know where to start.

Looking at Lin Yi, who seemed somewhat ashamed, Cun Yunsheng did not show any contempt or ridicule.

Although others think that he is a jerk and likes to give orders randomly, it must be said that his passion has never been extinguished from beginning to end.

This is something that no one in the cannon fodder group can match.

When others were wearing tattered clothes, only Lin Yi always wore clean military uniform.

Always maintain the qualities of a soldier, neat and clean.

"Do you all think it's funny?" Cun Yunsheng's light words made everyone shut up.

But there was a glimmer of light in Lin Yi's eyes.

"It's funny that a major has never fought in a war, but do you know why he has never fought in a war?"

"Is it because you are timid? Afraid of death?"

"No, I'm not afraid of death." Lin Yi didn't know how he had the courage to shout out this sentence, but he didn't want to live with such a stigma anymore, he wanted to prove himself.

"Very well, I hope you can prove yourself with the blood of your enemies."

"I hope that the medal on your chest is stained with the blood of the enemy." Cun Yunsheng's words were full of magic, making Lin Yi's blood boil.

"Yes, Commander." Lin Yi said loudly.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Stand here and let them have a good look." Cun Yunsheng glanced around and everyone chose to shut up without any extra expression.

"Look at Major Lin Yi, and then look at you?"

"In the entire internment center, only Major Lin Yi maintained his military character and wore a clean and tidy uniform."

"And what about you? You are all covered in dirt and tatters. Tell me, do you have any military temperament?"

"You laugh at Major Lin Yi, isn't it because he is incompatible with you?"

"Do you know why you are called bad soldiers? Rotten soldiers?"

"Because you don't value yourselves, your superiors also think you are dispensable."

Those who were scolded couldn't help but lower their heads. Some of them might have been mocking Lin Yi for having never fought in a war but being promoted to major.

However, more people feel that everyone in the shelter is in a shabby state, and only you are always neat and clean, and you are not of the same kind at all, so they keep looking down on and mocking you.

In fact, it is more their self-esteem that is at work.

"Commander, we also want to keep things neat and clean, but we haven't issued new military uniforms for a long time." Meng Fanle felt that he had to explain it clearly for them.

"I know, but Major Lin Yi hasn't issued new military uniforms either." Cun Yunsheng's indifferent words shut everyone up.

"Next, I will issue new military uniforms to all of you. At the same time, I will also issue new internal regulations. Everyone must keep them neat and clean. Those who fail to do so will be subject to military law."

If you hit someone with a stick, you must give him a date. Cun Yunsheng is very familiar with the means of controlling people.

The soldiers in front of him originally had some complaints, but when they heard about the new uniforms, they became excited again.

Cun Yunsheng smiled slightly. He believed that as various sticks fell, the defeated soldiers in front of him would definitely make a qualitative leap.
