Just a few hours after the advance army announced the recovery of Laiyang City, newspapers all over the country rushed to publish this feat on the headlines of their newspapers under the special instructions of some domestic and foreign big shots. This was to encourage the soldiers and civilians to protect their country.
He had to admit that this was a wise move. Almost on the same day that the advancing army announced the recovery of Laiyang, large-scale parades were held all over the country to celebrate the advancement of the army. People from all walks of life organized donations and food donations.
As for the leaders of the various worlds, Mr. First gave the advanced troops a first-class collective merit in the name of the national army, rewarded Qin Yuxuan with a second-class Cloud Command Medal, and sent a national consolation group. Then, the Duke's Mansion in the northwest sent a congratulatory message to the advancing army and encouraged them to work with the Eighth Route Army stationed in Qilu to build a defense line against the Japanese in Ludong. The other leaders of the Shansi-Suiyuan, Sichuan, and Yunnan factions only published a few encouraging words in the newspapers.
However, there was no time to care about how much attention the leaders of the various parties paid to the advancing army. In the eyes of Qin Yuxuan, a former mercenary who had always pursued realism, the bullshit medals, encouragement, and congratulatory messages were all useless. The real thing was funding weapons, food, silver, and gold.
"Commander, in just two days, the Conscription Division has recruited no less than 1,000 new soldiers who have signed up to join the advancing army. In my opinion, in a few more days, this number might soar to 3,000. Although it is a good thing to have a large number of soldiers enlist, our overall combat effectiveness will definitely decrease.”In the headquarters of the original Japanese exploration team, the higher-ups of the advanced army were holding their first meeting after capturing Laiyang City. Zhou Weiguo, who was a military adviser, spoke first.
"Yes! Wei Guo's point was very good. In the battle of Laiyang, although our losses of veterans were not too great, we still had a small base. If we blindly expanded the troops, the combat strength of the troops would definitely decrease. Moreover, the future advance army would definitely face some pressure in terms of grain taxes and finances.
Based on this objective factor, I decided to set some restrictions on the recruitment requirements. For example, specialty priority, strength priority, education priority, and so on. I'll leave this to you, Hu Zi." Qin Yuxuan nodded and agreed with Zhou Weiguo.
"Commander, regarding the issue of recruit training, we can transfer the backbone from the original five companies to the Recruit Division to serve as platoon leaders and platoon leaders. The specific method can be to let one veteran lead a recruit class.”Wei Da Yong stood up and said.
"Mm, you should discuss this idea with the Conscription Division and Staff Officer Zhou. Then…"
"Commander! The national consolation group had already arrived in Laiyang.”Before Qin Yuxuan could finish, a soldier from the security platoon walked into the conference room and reported.
"Oh! They arrived so quickly. Hehe, it seems that Mister First values our advanced army very much! Let's go and see if they suit my taste.”After Qin Yuxuan tidied himself up, he smiled and said to the officers…
(Ten minutes later, they will enter the main gate of the military headquarters.)
"Hahaha, I didn't know that the brothers of the consolation group had come to Laiyang.”Qin Yuxuan smiled as he spoke to the dozen members of the consolation group.
"What about Commander Qin? We're here to pay our respects to the hero, not to inspect the troops. Although I've heard about you in the newspapers, I didn't expect you to be so young. You look less than 25 years old, right?”A lieutenant colonel in the lead couldn't help but sigh when he saw Perfected Qin Yuxuan.
"Haha, I'm 23 years old this year. I didn't expect the emissary of the consolation group to be so young. May I ask your name?" Qin Yuxuan asked with a smile.
"I am Shen Zui, also known as Shu Yi. He was currently the Director of the Inspection Department of the Bureau of Investigation and statistics of the Military Committee of the National Revolutionary Army. I will be in charge of the consolation work for the advancing army.”the lieutenant colonel replied.
"Military Investigation Bureau? So he was a big spy! Shen Zui? I think I've heard of it there before." Qin Yuxuan thought to himself.
"So it's Director Shen! I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you! Come! Everyone, it's windy outside. Hurry up and go in to warm up.”After Qin Yuxuan complimented Shen Zui, he turned around and smiled at the members of the consolation group.
"Sigh! Commander Qin, I'm a military officer and I'm not afraid of the cold. As the host, I wonder if you can invite me to take a look at the military headquarters? Mr. Jiang and Director Dai value your troops very much!”Shen Zui asked meaningfully.
"Haha, what's wrong with that? Old Zhu, Fugui, please take good care of everyone in the consolation group. Weiguo, Huzi, Monk, let's invite Director Shen to visit our headquarters.”Qin Yuxuan knew that Shen Zui's words had a hidden meaning, so he replied smoothly…
(A few minutes later, Qin Yuxuan and his group of five went straight to the military commander's office.)
"Commander Qin is indeed strict in managing the army. The soldiers under you are really powerful! No wonder even Mr. Jiang praised your department!”Shen Zui couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the guards along the way.
"Director Shen is too polite. We're all martial artists, so we're just a little strict with the management of the army! Let me introduce you. This is Zhou Weiguo, the military adviser and the second company commander of the advanced army. This is Xu Hu, the combat adviser of the advanced army. This is Wei Dayong, the director of the training department of the advanced army. The three of them used to be part of the national team's combat team, and my grandfather is a senior of the Xingzhong Association.”Qin Yuxuan introduced them to Shen Zui.
"Oh! It turns out that everyone here has a deep relationship with the national team! In this case, Mr. Jiang's arrangements for everyone are indeed appropriate.”When he heard about their experiences and backgrounds, Shen Zui immediately laughed excitedly.
"What does Director Shen mean by this?" Qin Yuxuan pretended to be ignorant and asked.
"Commander Qin, it's like this. Our Mr. First has praised your troops, and he has made a special exception for the Ministry of National Defense to grant you the title and establishment of the independent marching division of the 20th legion in the 5th war zone. The military pay, supplies, and manpower were all directly distributed and supplemented by the 5th Battle Area. On the first day of the reorganization, the Ministry of National Defense issued an additional 200,000 silver dollars for military equipment. Commander Qin himself is the major general of the advancing division. The personnel establishment of the advancing division should be arranged by Commander Qin himself…"
