Chapter 29 Be a fool for the last time!
"Zhang Lixian, tell me about the situation in Zenda." On the way, Yu Xiaoqing, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, was bored, but suddenly he became interested and felt that he should first understand Zenda.
Hearing this, Zhang Lixian pondered for a while, then organized his words and spoke.
"Zenda is a small border town. Later, it became somewhat famous because of the influx of defeated soldiers."
"The defeated soldiers from all directions basically gathered here. This place is also known as the paradise for bad soldiers."
"Is there no one to manage these defeated soldiers?" Yu Xiaoqing asked puzzledly.
"According to the convention, it was handed over to the local authorities to manage and let them solve the problem of food and wages for the defeated soldiers, but Zenda is just a small city and there is not that much food."
"But in order to avoid being harassed by the defeated soldiers, we only throw them a little food every month. Of course, most of the food is made of banana leaves to ensure that they will not starve to death." Zhang Lixian said.
It was obvious that he knew Zenda very well.
"How do you know it so clearly?" He Shuguang asked puzzledly.
Yu Xiaoqing next to him was also waiting for him to explain.
Zhang Lixian was not panicked at all, but said with a smile.
"One of my soldiers is from Zenda, and he told me all this."
"Commander, if you want these defeated soldiers to fight for you, you have to offer them some benefits. Otherwise, it may not be easy to recruit them."
Zhang Lixian expressed his concerns, saying that those defeated soldiers would not be so easily fooled.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"Benefits? Do you see these American equipment? These American equipment are the biggest benefit. As long as they follow me, they will have these American equipment. Isn't it better than any benefit?"
It can be seen that Yu Xiaoqing is very confident. He believes that those defeated soldiers have never seen these good things. Now he can make them aces and elites. Isn’t that enough?
A group of defeated soldiers should be thankful to have American equipment.
Looking at the confident Yu Xiaoqing, Zhang Lixian didn't know what to say for a moment.
This son of a general has his own unique pride and arrogance.
Just like that, the atmosphere in the car became a little weird, but Yu Xiaoqing still asked a few questions from time to time.
On the other side, Cun Yunsheng asked Lin Yi to assemble the troops.
This time was different from the previous times. A platform was specially set up. Cun Yunsheng walked forward and looked at the group of people in front of him.
As expected, with more than a thousand people, it was a pitch black mass and there was no end in sight.
Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.
"Everyone, listen to my command."
"Stand at attention, at ease, and speak a little..."
No extra introduction, just get straight to the point.
"From today on, you will all be members of the Sichuan Army. I don't care where you came from before, whether it was the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Guangdong Army, the Security Corps, or the Garrison Corps."
"From now on, you have only one identity, that is, a member of the Sichuan Army."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was applause.
After Cun Yunsheng signaled for everyone to be quiet, he continued.
"I now announce the order for reorganization."
"Xue Tian, commander of the regiment's guard company."
There was no surprise in Xue Tian's appointment, as everyone knew that this confidant of the regiment commander might be given an important position.
Xue Tian stood up and saluted Cun Yunsheng and everyone else.
"Meng Fanlao, the commander of the regiment's communications company."
"Kang Huojian, the company commander of the regiment's engineering company."
"Zhang Milong, the regiment's logistics chief."
"Lin Yi, the regiment's operations staff officer."
"Dong Dao, the regiment's reconnaissance platoon leader."
"Li Liansheng, acting commander of the first battalion."
Many people were very surprised to hear that Li Liansheng was the battalion commander, especially Mi Long, who couldn't believe it. A bad soldier who killed many people in his eyes could actually be the battalion commander.
In fact, Cun Yunsheng didn't want to promote these people to high positions suddenly.
It's because he doesn't have any suitable talents at hand, so he has to force the issue.
Originally, he wanted to form dozens of infantry companies and then be promoted to battalion commander later.
But considering that each of them had rich combat experience, there shouldn't be any problem with just a battalion commander, so they gritted their teeth and decided to do it.
Li Liansheng himself couldn't believe it. He didn't expect that he was originally a second lieutenant platoon leader, and he didn't expect that today he would become a battalion commander. Even if he was just an acting battalion commander, he was still a battalion commander.
For a moment, Li Liansheng felt a warm current in his heart and his eyes were filled with excitement.
He secretly vowed to make the First Battalion the main force.
Cun Yunsheng didn't care what others thought and continued to make appointments.
"Deng Bao, acting commander of the Second Infantry Battalion."
Cun Yunsheng still admired Bu La very much for never giving up his weapon.
One is Lin Yi, who always maintains the true character of a soldier, and the other is Bu La, who believes that if China is to be destroyed, the people of Hunan will die first. Both are commendable.
Therefore, Cun Yunsheng also promoted him.
Deng Bao also had a look of disbelief on his face. He wanted to say something, but ended up saluting.
"Li Sifu, acting commander of the Third Infantry Battalion."
Cun Yunsheng's appointment once again caught everyone by surprise, but with the previous two people as examples, they were all numb this time.
Li Sifu himself did not expect that he, a corporal in the Sichuan Army, would one day become an officer.
Looking at Cun Yunsheng on the platform in disbelief, Li Sifu no longer had the bandit spirit he had before, but stood at attention.
The originally fiery heart now burns even more vigorously.
Now, even if Cun Yunsheng asked him to die, he would not hesitate.
According to Meng Fanle, they were just a bunch of fools before.
A group of people who went to war every time with hope and patriotic passion to defeat the invaders, but always ended up in failure.
In the end, everyone cursed together and threatened that anyone who went there again would be a fool.
And Cun Yunsheng was not the first officer to come here to recruit soldiers.
But those officers did not come up with anything practical except for their empty talk.
Except for a few people who believe it, most people choose to remain silent.
After all, they had all sworn an oath, and anyone who went there again would be a fool.
This time, they were completely fooled by Cun Yunsheng. He used various reasons to convince themselves that if they tried again, they might have a hope of returning home.
Yes, it’s the last time, it’s really the last time.
There was no other way, Cun Yunsheng gave them hope of returning home.
Look at the officers who were promoted. They were originally cannon fodder that others didn’t want.
Look at the American-style equipment of the guard company. When have these bastards ever seen it?
Look at the military salaries that have just been paid. When have they ever received so much money?
All these accumulated together become the hope of returning home.
For a moment, the momentum of the Sichuan Army condensed into a raging fire.
A fire that was powerful enough to destroy anything that stood in their way home.
"Damn it, so many people are willing to risk their lives for him just by opening his mouth. I hope he is not the kind of officer who would cheat." Meng Fanle, who was watching Cun Yunsheng speaking passionately on the stage, muttered to himself while being annoyed in the audience.
"Even if it's a scam, I'll accept it. I've had enough of this crappy shelter. I just want to go home." Milong sighed.
Meng Fanle looked at him in surprise, then looked at the others. Suddenly he understood why there were so many people following him when there was only a glimmer of hope to go home.
"Fuck the internment camp. The little master has had enough."
