Hearing Zhao Daquan's words, Commander Liu took the " notice " and looked at it carefully before handing it over to the mayor. He then fell into deep thought.
The mayor took the notice and looked at it for a while before returning it to Gou Wanzi. He did not say anything, obviously waiting for Commander Liu's statement.
Commander Liu pondered for a moment and sighed.""Brother Leader Zhao, I understand what you mean. Since that's the case, I'll make it clear. I did want to take you in before, but my goal was to strengthen the security team and resist the Japanese. Protect the safety of my Wei Shan Island."
Zhao Daquan and Hao Deshan looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
Commander Liu paused for a moment before continuing,""I don't blame you for what happened today. After all, I had planned to attack you before. There's nothing to say about my inferior skills. But what makes me feel fortunate is that you are heroes of the war against Japan. It is not shameful to die in your hands.”
" Commander Liu-" Commander Liu's words made Zhao Daquan feel slightly embarrassed. He was about to explain when he was interrupted.
"Brother Leader Zhao, you don't have to explain. You did nothing wrong to fight the Japanese. Just like what the announcement said, we should provide full support.”
Commander Liu stood up and walked to the window.
The soldiers outside the window didn't know what was going on, but they all followed the order. They placed their guns together, lined up, and waited quietly.
Commander Liu turned around." They are all good soldiers. You can take them all away. I say it's a regiment here, but there are only six companies, and they aren't full yet. However, as officers above company commander were local officials, they could not obey.”
Commander Liu's words stunned Zhao Daquan. He had never expected things to turn out like this." This…Commander Liu, Brother Liu, I'm so embarrassed…"
"You don't have to say anything. I believe that these brothers will have a good future with you. Besides, you are more useful in fighting the Japanese and protecting our homeland.”Commander Liu waved his hand to stop Zhao Daquan.
"Alright then. Since that's the case, this little brother will respectfully obey. However, I think we should ask for everyone's opinion. I'll take away those who are willing to come with us. What do you think, Brother Liu?”
Since Zhao Daquan said so, Commander Liu naturally had no objections. However, the outcome of the matter was also shocking. It was said that the national army, especially the meritorious officers who won the victory in Taierzhuang, recruited soldiers. Only a dozen soldiers in the security regiment did not want to be too far away from home. The rest all joined Zhao Daquan's " National Revolutionary Army Second Army Teaching Corps Teaching Regiment Three Regiment."
Afterwards, Hao Deshan whispered to Zhao Daquan,""Brother, you're really something. I wonder how hard it was for me to recruit a few people back then. No one came even if they were both soft and hard.”
Zhao Daquan didn't say anything, but he felt disdain in his heart."Tsk, what do you mean by using the flag as a tiger skin? They were all soldiers, and a proper national army would definitely be much stronger than a local security regiment, not to mention that bandit of yours back then. If you knew that in the future, even soldiers would have to undergo a political review, you wouldn't know what to think.”
In fact, Commander Liu was also a sensible person. Later, the mayor asked him why he didn't leave more people behind. He sighed and said,
"In fact, there is no meaning for our security group to exist anymore. You see, although the Taierzhuang army won the battle this time, the Japanese will not be reconciled. They must make a comeback. At that time, if the national army is here, it won't have anything to do with our security regiment. However, if the national army leaves, then this security regiment will sooner or later be killed by the Japanese. In that case, it would be better to let them join the national army and strive for a good future. It could also be considered as contributing to the war.”
Hao Deshan naturally didn't know what Zhao Daquan and Commander Liu were thinking. Seeing that the security team's matter had been resolved, he turned to look at the mayor.
Seeing Hao Deshan looking at him, the mayor naturally knew what to do. He quickly stood up and said,""Commander Liu has a noble character and integrity. I admire him very much. As a local government, we should do our part to resist the Japanese.”As the mayor spoke, he turned his head to the person beside him.
Zhao Daquan recalled that the mayor had introduced this person to him. He was the president of some merchant association. Needless to say, he was definitely a rich man.
Seeing the situation before him, Chairman Wang naturally knew what to do, so he immediately expressed his stance."Yes, yes. Supporting the resistance is our duty. All the supplies for the teaching group will be covered by us.”
Chairman Wang's reply was very straightforward. In fact, he did not have much extra expenditure. Originally, the supplies of this security group were provided by them. Now, the teaching group was actually still them. It was just that there were more than twenty people.
However, Zhao Daquan thought of two things." President Wang, I appreciate your kindness. However, we still need your help with three things. I wonder if-"
"No problem. If Regiment Commander Zhao needs anything, just let me know.”Chairman Wang quickly agreed.
Zhao Daquan mentioned three things. One of them was about the military uniform. He was from the national army, so he couldn't possibly wear the black uniform of the security regiment.
Logically speaking, military uniforms couldn't be made privately. Zhao Daquan didn't plan to make them according to the military uniform. What he wanted to do was to make a camouflage uniform according to the military uniform.
However, at that time, due to the limitations of printing and dyeing technology, standard camouflage patterns could not be printed. However, this was not a problem for Zhao Daquan. He personally guided them. On the gray cloth, he used a brush to dip in dark green and iron brown paint respectively and randomly smeared them.
It did not require the pattern to be neat, only that the three colors were roughly evenly distributed.
As the requirements were not high, the masters of the dyeing workshop quickly mastered this " technique ". Under Zhao Daquan's urging, they worked overtime. A month later, a batch of " flower " military uniforms was grandly launched. Zhao Daquan's Teaching Regiment Three was also " affectionately " called the " Flower Garment Regiment " by the local people.
What made people speechless was that after they had changed for a while, no matter where they went, there would always be a group of people following behind them to watch the "fun". Of course, most of them were children.
What needed to be said was that when this batch of " flowery military uniforms " was completed, all the soldiers refused to change their clothes. This time, the one who took the lead in " causing trouble " was Hao Deshan.
"Brother, we are all men and soldiers. How can we wear flowery clothes? No, no, I can't accept your stupid idea this time.”
Zhao Daquan's face was filled with black lines and helplessness. At that time, people had such a mindset. He had no choice but to change into a camouflage uniform and said to Hao Deshan,"Come with me."
