"I gathered everyone here today to arrange the follow-up work of our independent regiment. First of all, it's about the recruitment and expansion.”
After everyone had arrived, Li Yunlong was too lazy to say anything. He went straight to the point.
"Conscription and expansion?"
Kong Jie was the first to react." Old Li, I don't have time to tell you. After a day of thinking, the 800-plus brothers we brought back the day before yesterday have all agreed to join our independent regiment. Currently, our regiment has a total of nearly 1,700 people. We're full, so there's no need to recruit anymore.”
"Yo, when did you become a political commissar, Dumbo Kong?”Li Yun Long glanced at Kong Jie and teased him.
"Tsk, do you think that I, Kong Jie, have wasted my decades of revolution? I haven't seen pigs run before. Although I haven't been a political commissar, I've seen many of them.”Kong Jie said proudly.
"Hahahaha, stop bragging. If you keep bragging, you'll become the head of the headquarters.”Li Yunlong laughed.
"Hahahaha…"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Captain, I think Vice Captain Kong is right. Our regiment is already full, so there's no need to recruit anymore.”Zhao Gang said.
"Why are your eyes so shallow and your hearts so small?”
Li Yunlong said in a disappointed tone," Let me tell you, I'm Han Xin. The more soldiers you have, the better. I don't think it's enough even if it's 13,000 or 130,000, let alone 1,700. You'd better give me 1,300,000. Then, I can lead the army to the four islands of Japan."”
"Damn it, Li Yunlong, can you die if you don't brag?”
Kong Jie rolled his eyes and mocked,""With your character, Li Datou, and your 1.3 million troops, do you really think that you are the head of the headquarters? Oh, no, our eight routes only add up to 300,000 to 400,000.”
" Hahahaha…" The officers present burst into laughter again.
These two regiment commanders were simply too funny!
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Yunlong glared at them and scolded,"You motherf * ckers are just a bunch of good-for-nothings."”
As he spoke, he glared at Zhao Gang's face." I remember Political Commissar Zhao telling me that the person with the broken wheel had once said something: A soldier who didn't want to be a general wasn't a good soldier.”
"Political Commissar Zhao, I remember correctly.”
"You remember it right."
"But he's not the one with the broken wheel. His name is Napoleon."”
How could Li Yunlong not know about Napoleon? He was just pretending.
"It doesn't matter if he has a broken wheel or a good wheel. What's important is that I think what he said makes sense.”
"If a person doesn't have a goal or pursuit, he's no different from a salted fish.”
"There's no need to discuss this. Since all the officers are here, we'll set up a recruitment committee on the spot. Commissar Zhao will be in charge of it. Then, we'll transfer fifty people from the various battalions and the logistics department.”
Li Yunlong immediately made the final decision.
"Then how many people are you going to recruit?" Zhao Gang asked.
"There's no upper limit.”Li Yunlong said.
"Ah, how can we do that? Can we afford to hire so many people?”Zhao Gang objected.
"Raise?"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened as he shouted,""I'm recruiting soldiers, not pigs. Do I still need to raise them? My soldiers are all wild wolves. When they are hungry, they have to find food themselves.”
"Besides, don't we have Shinozuka Yoshio, the transport captain? As long as there are devils, do you have to worry about not having food to eat? No weapons?"
"Use battle to nurture battle, understand?"
"Old Li, I think you've been blinded by the victory of these two battles. Aren't you a little arrogant?" Kong Jie kindly reminded.
"Go, go, go. I'm very clear-headed.”
Li Yunlong didn't appreciate his kindness. He waved his hand at Kong Jie as if he was shooing away a fly and continued,"There's no need to discuss this problem. Just do as I say.”
"There's another thing that needs to be explained. In the future, our Independent Regiment can't let people enlist for free like before. We have to give our military families an explanation.”
"How?" Zhao Gang and the others were all stunned. This was the first time they had heard of this.
"The current situation is so chaotic, and the lives of the common people are all bitter. Our conscription has also taken away the strong labor of the families. If we don't give some compensation, how will the families of the soldiers survive?”
Li Yunlong said with a serious expression," So, we have to take out the money we seized in Shanhe Town the day before yesterday. We have to compensate the families of every soldier who enlisted in the army with a large sum of money. Although it's not a lot of money, it can make the lives of ordinary families not too miserable."”
" Ah... this..." Zhao Gang and Kong Jie looked at each other. This was unprecedented in the Eighth Route Army!
"Don't say this and that. This matter has been decided. In addition, you officers go back and tell the veterans that when we snatch another batch of money, we won't give them a share.”Li Yunlong said to everyone seriously.
"We can't let our soldiers bleed on the battlefield while letting their families cry.”
"Yes."
Li Yunlong's words touched everyone's heart. Except for some soldiers who had their families destroyed by the Japanese, most of the others had families and children. Although everyone was willing to abandon their families and children for the sake of resisting the Japanese, it was best to get compensation. At least they could have less worries during the war.
