Chapter 22 The coming collision!
In fact, according to the classification of military pay, Meng Fanle used to be a member of the Sichuan Army, which basically meant that he did not have any military pay.

That’s right, soldiers basically have no pay.

Not only the Sichuan Army, but also the Northwest Army, the soldiers rarely saw their military pay.

As for officers, only a small number of them do.

Not to mention, the unit Meng Fanle was in was a ragtag group, and the military pay was pitifully low.

Otherwise, the injury wouldn’t have happened and there wouldn’t even be money for medical treatment.

Among all the armies, the Central Army was treated the best, followed by the Northeast Army before the Anti-Japanese War.

Their lives were relatively affluent, and there was also the Yunnan Army who had been selling opium.

The officers were all rich, and the soldiers lived an average life, but it was better than the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army.

This is why the Sichuan Army was initially called the Beggar Army.

And now Cun Yunsheng’s standard for distributing military salaries is based on the Central Army, which shocked everyone.

Atmosphere!
This superior can handle it.

Yes, this was the only thought in the minds of all the soldiers.

Not long after, the military pay for more than 500 people was distributed, and every soldier received his own pay.

The smallest amount of bean cake cost more than ten yuan.

Everyone had a happy expression on their face. Some people even took a bite with their teeth, while others blew it and put it next to their ears to make a sound.

As a result, everyone was very satisfied.

"The military salaries have been paid, and the resettlement allowances have also been paid, so the next step is to train them well. Excuse me, Ayi, take them to training, practice marching, so that they at least look like soldiers." When everyone's mood had almost calmed down, Cun Yunsheng gave the first order.

"Yes, Commander." Lin Yi and Meng Fanle responded immediately after receiving the order.

The person who received the most here should be Lin Yi, who received nearly one hundred dollars, which is a considerable sum of money.

Even though he had never fought in a war, Cun Yunsheng still paid him military salary according to the rank of major without any deduction.

This touched Lin Yi deeply, as he had originally had no hope.

After all, a major who has never fought in a war is not qualified to receive military pay.

When I heard the name, I was still very surprised.

In any case, the money did greatly alleviate his financial pressure.

From the fact that he had to pawn his father's watch to buy a piece of pork, it can be seen that he was also very poor.

Therefore, according to the game, their current loyalty to Cun Yunsheng is, if not 100, at least 90.

"Milong, stay."

Everyone else went to training, but Milong, who had just joined, was left alone, which made him very confused.

In fact, other people were also confused, especially Li Liansheng.

He didn't expect that Milong actually came.

This guy was stubborn before and said he would never join the army, but unexpectedly he came to join the army on his own initiative.

I really don't understand what this guy is thinking.

However, he was still very happy that Milong could come, after all, Milong was his only fellow villager here.

"Commander, do you have any more instructions?" Facing Cun Yunsheng, Mi Long no longer had the arrogance as before, but asked respectfully.

"Do you know any cloth merchants? Get some cloth so that we can make two decent military uniforms for the brothers in the regiment. We are a regular army, not bandits. If we dress like beggars, people who don't know us would think we are beggars." Cun Yunsheng said speechlessly.

He had long wanted to give new uniforms to everyone in the regiment, but he had no money.

Now that I have money, I can put it on the agenda.

"I know him. If I help, the price can be cheaper." Milong said confidently, patting his shoulder.

"The regiment is in need of a quartermaster. How about it? Are you interested? I'll leave everything to you from now on." Cun Yunsheng felt that Milong could definitely adapt to the position of quartermaster.

Hearing this, Milong was stunned, then he said simply.

"No problem, I took it."

"Commander, don't worry. What I get are definitely good cotton cloths. You can trust me." Seeing Milong patting his chest to make the promise, Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Don't let me down."

"Yes, don't worry." After saying that, Milong walked outside with a few familiar people.

After finishing his work, Xue Tian finally took advantage of the gap and came to Cun Yunsheng.

"Master, what are you having for lunch today?"

"When making braised pork, I must make sure it smells good. I want the whole city to be filled with the aroma of meat."

"Yes." Xue Tian said and prepared to leave.

He has now become the head cook, and all the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating matters are left to him.

"Wait a minute." Cun Yunsheng stopped the other party and then said.

"Find a reliable person and have him come up with a menu that rotates every seven days, and try to ensure that there is meat every day. Let him be responsible for the troops' meals."

"Ah? What about me?" Xue Tian was stunned and asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng explained.

"Don't worry, you have new arrangements. I am going to form a regiment guard company. You will be responsible for recruiting soldiers and you will be the company commander."

"Complete the formation as soon as possible. I don't have that much time left for you."

He had already decided to reserve the one hundred M1 Garand rifles for the newly formed guard company, which was the main force of the independent regiment.

"Yes, I understand. Give me three days and I will complete the task." When Xue Tian heard that he would be the company commander, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Sure enough, his young master still remembered him.

"Go." After sending the other party away, Cun Yunsheng began to ponder over his next plan.

According to the development of the plot, within a few days, Yu Xiaoqing will also come to the shelter to recruit soldiers.

If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high possibility that a head-on conflict will break out between the two sides.

After all, the other side also had their eyes on the defeated soldiers here.

Moreover, he was a man who was even prouder than himself, and he was confident that he could lead this group of defeated soldiers to a resounding victory.

As a result, reality taught him a severe lesson. Not only did he suffer a crushing defeat, but he was also rumored to be dead.

Fortunately, he later escaped back to Nantianmen.

But this guy's family background is indeed remarkable.

Normally, if you suffer a defeat and lose many soldiers and generals, you will definitely be punished by military law.

Even if the responsibility is not his, he cannot be promoted.

The results of it?
Not only was he not injured, but he was promoted to colonel and division commander.

Although he, as a division commander, does not have much real power, at least he is a division chief, which sounds good.

Every time he saw this, Cun Yunsheng was confused.

When he was the head of the group, he had a lot of autonomy.

He could command troops at will, but after becoming a division commander, he was restricted in various ways.

Even if he wanted to give the cannon fodder regiment more weapons and equipment, he had to look at the mood of Deputy Division Commander Tang.

So he boldly guessed that when Yu Xiaoqing entered Burma to fight, he was eager to prove himself in order to get rid of the influence of his family.

As a result, reality slapped him hard in the face, making his proof a joke.

This resulted in him being sidelined after he was promoted.

"It seems that Yu Xiaoqing can still be won over, but if you want to convince this guy, you have to be stronger than him. Otherwise, with his arrogant character, a big conflict will definitely break out." Cun Yunsheng muttered.

"Never mind. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If water comes, we will block it with earth. A mere Yu Xiaoqing is nothing. My family background is not weaker than his. It is even stronger than his. If we really fight head-on, who will be afraid of who?"

With this mentality in mind, Cun Yunsheng took out paper and pen and began to scribble and revise. He planned to build the independent regiment into an American-equipped division.

Therefore, some changes are needed in personnel.
