"Wealth? What's wrong? Did something happen?" Zhou Weiguo looked suspiciously at Sun Fugui, who was walking towards the command center.
"Riches, is your family not rich enough?”Qin Yuxuan asked thoughtfully after seeing Sun Fugui's indignant expression.
"Commander, if we continue to expand like this, our Nation Protecting Army will have to go to hell.”Sun Fugui came to Qin Yuxuan's side and handed over two logistics consumption reports.
"February 7th, 47 new recruits: A total of 1175 yuan was distributed.
Construction of the three recruit barracks of the advanced army: A total of 150 yuan
[2000 catties of grain: 500 yuan]
Total: 1825 yuan
February 8th, 55 new recruits: A total of 1375 yuan was distributed.
Construction of the three recruit barracks of the advanced army: A total of 150 yuan
6 catties of grain, 1500 yuan
Total: 3025 yuan
………………“
"In just two days, we spent 5000 yuan just on recruiting new soldiers. In addition to the compensation for the dead soldiers and the rewards for the soldiers who participated in the previous battles, we spent at least 20,000 yuan in just one month. This did not include the other small expenses.
Today is the third day of our recruitment. During dinner time, Hu Zi approved another 150 new recruits. Then, the people from the Conscription Division came over and asked me for money. It was nearly 4000 yuan! In my opinion, with our expansion speed, I dare say that in less than five days, the assets of the advance army will be completely spent.”Sun Fugui complained.
"How much money do we have left in the logistics account?”Zhou Weiguo took the report from Qin Yuxuan. After reading it carefully, he frowned and asked.
"About 10,000 silver dollars, 500 yuan, 20 small yellow croakers, and…and the 10 large yellow croakers I used to keep for the pirates. In addition to some scattered cash, it could be converted into 20000 dollars.”Sun Fugui estimated a string of numbers.
"Commander, it looks like the situation is indeed very grim.”Zhou Weiguo nodded and turned to Qin Yuxuan.
"It's just 20,000 yuan, and it's indeed not enough to complete the expansion plan in a week. I was going to pay the first batch of soldiers next month, but now it seems that it's impossible. What should he do? Selling weapons?" Qin Yuxuan remembered that the logistics warehouse still had many weapons that the bandits, the Eighth Route Army, and even the Central Army would be interested in.
"No! The batch of guns in the warehouse is used to equip the recruits. Without these guns, I can't let my soldiers fight with broadswords and red-tasseled guns like those 8th route, bandits, and miscellaneous troops, right? Moreover, judging from the current expansion speed, the 200 388 large guns and dozens of light machine guns in the warehouse were probably not needed anymore.”Qin Yuxuan instantly rejected this idea.
"Commander, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work. There are more than ten bandit armed forces within a hundred miles of our army. If we can get rid of them, we won't be able to escape with at least 300,000 yuan. Maybe even 500,000." After Sun Fugui saw Qin Yuxuan and Zhou Weiguo's thoughtful expressions, he thought of an idea.
"No!"
"No!" Qin Yuxuan and Zhou Weiguo firmly denied in unison.
"Fugui, as a regular civilian armed force, it is indeed right for us to eliminate bandits and protect the safety of the people. However, in the current situation, the Japanese are the common enemy of us and those dozen armed forces. If we send troops to eliminate them because of the lack of military funds, then the entire Laiyang area will only have our Qingfeng Mountain Advancing Army, Hutou Mountain Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army stationed in Laiyang County. Without those people behind the enemy lines causing trouble for them, the Japanese army would immediately mobilize heavy troops to destroy our advance army and the Eighth Route Army.”Qin Yuxuan and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other. Zhou Weiguo turned around and said to Sun Fugui seriously,"
"I see! Commander, Staff Officer Zhou, I understand!" Sun Fugui said in realization.
"If it's about military expenses, I have a piece of information that I believe you'll be interested in.”Zhou Weiguo said thoughtfully.
"Is that so? Tell me." Qin Yuxuan picked up a cup of tea and smiled.
"Do you still remember the commander asking me if the devils in Laiyang County have made any moves recently? There was! In fact, on the second day after we captured the Nianzizhuang turret, Tanaka Jiro, the commander of the Japanese 17th mixed brigade in Laiyang County, was prepared to send three squadrons to attack and encircle us the day after tomorrow.
However, just yesterday, a huge sum of military funds jointly donated by the puppet North China Government Affairs Committee and the Japanese Zhengjin Bank Bureau entered the Zhengjin Bank branch in Laiyang County. It is said that this huge sum of money is as high as 800,000 yuan. It is used for the military expenditure of the Japanese army on the battlefield in Teng County. If we can move this huge sum of money into our advanced army warehouse, hehe, it is enough for the military expenditure of an entire regiment of the advanced army for a year.”Zhou Weiguo smiled cunningly.
"No way! Staff Officer Zhou. Don't tell me you're thinking about that military expenditure? What a joke, there are more than 3,000 Japanese and Second Japanese soldiers stationed in Laiyang County. With just our advanced army of one and a half veteran companies and two recruit companies, how can we get that amount of military expenses?”Sun Fugui exclaimed after realizing Zhou Weiguo's thoughts.
"As long as the commander gives the order, although it's unrealistic for me to move 800,000 yuan, I should be able to move 100,000 yuan. It depends on whether the commander agrees or not." Zhou Weiguo looked at Qin Yuxuan again.
"This…If you want to move, then move it completely. If we can't rob them, then we'll just take down half of them, right?”Qin Yuxuan took a sip of the tea in his teacup and said unhurriedly.
" Commander, you?…" After hearing Qin Yuxuan's words. This time, it was Zhou Weiguo's turn to exclaim.
"I have my own plans for this matter. Weiguo, go get a map of Laiyang County. Fugui, how many new recruits have the Conscription Division recruited? Just distribute them according to the number. Leave the rest to me. Old Zhou, don't forget that the United States and North Korea also have special operations training!”As Qin Yuxuan spoke, he stood up and patted their shoulders before leaving…
