Rebirth of the National Marshal

What you said, Captain Zhao, is really admirable. Captain Zhao also rolled through a pile of dead bodies. I admire you very much. "These words are definitely not compliments. Mao Yuanshan also admires these true anti-Japanese heroes from the bottom of his heart.

"Speaking of what happened back then, I, Old Zhao, feel really sad. Captain Mao had no idea how difficult our situation was at that time. Some soldiers held only a broadsword in their hands, and had no decent weapons at all. The Japanese devils were armed to the teeth. It is said that our 29th Army Broadsword Team was brave and invincible, but if we had enough weapons at that time, who would use cold weapons to fight the Japanese devils? At that time, it cost at least six people to kill one Japanese devil, and that was six men." At this point, Captain Zhao's eyes were a little moist, and even the people who came from the Jiankang government had some emotions on their faces. Although they belonged to two opposing factions in the country, they all had hatred in their hearts when it came to dealing with the Japanese devils.

"Okay, Old Zhao, stop talking about the past. We are living a much better life now. At least each of our soldiers has a gun. Several officers from the Military and Political Department have already arrived. I think our military pay should be paid in a few days. The commander also wants to purchase a few more light machine guns for your Third Regiment. By then, your strength will increase a lot." General Zhao Dengyu noticed that the atmosphere here was a bit awkward, so he quickly changed the subject and took the opportunity to see what the people in the Jiankang government thought about the military pay.

Although Captain Zhao looked like a rough guy, he quickly understood what their brigade commander meant. He was asking for military pay for several senior officials of the Nationalist government. When the Northwest Army surrendered, they said very nice things, saying that the Central Army and the Northwest Army were treated equally. But now, not to mention treating them equally, they don't even get half of the treatment they get.

"It's hard for me to say about this issue. After all, I'm just a small director. Such important party and national affairs are not something that someone like me can know. But as far as I know, a truckload of food from the south has been delivered. As for arms, we will definitely give you some. The Japanese have been very active in North China recently, and the higher-ups are very worried about this issue." After Hu Lian said these words, he basically stopped talking. In fact, if he had faced such a problem according to his previous temper, he would definitely not say a word. But today, when he asked the people of the 29th Army to do something, he had to give them some information.

"The Central Army's favorite thing to do is to watch from behind, and this is also what they are best at. Leave the bayonet fighting with the Japs in the front to us in the Northwest. But even so, we have to be fed. We haven't received our military pay for two months." General Zhao said angrily. He was a very shrewd person, but today he was really angry when he saw that the people of the Nationalist Government actually refused like this. You are still thinking about internal strife when the situation is critical. How can this country hold on?

"General Zhao, please calm down. This kind of thing is really not something that a small colonel like me can decide. The party and the country are now in a critical period. I hope that everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties. The principal is not having a good time now. There are too many things to consider." It seemed that the matter was about to end in a bad way. If it really ended like this, Mao Yuanshan's dream of becoming police chief would basically be over.

"My dear leaders, Commander Hu is not from the Ministry of Finance, so he probably doesn't know about the military pay issue. As far as I know, Commander Hu is an enthusiastic person, so if he really knew about this, he would definitely tell you. I have a good idea here, which is about importing arms. I wonder if you are interested." Mao Yuanshan's words immediately drew everyone's attention to him.

Hu Lian was also a little surprised when he looked at this boy, because he had not told him anything before and kept this secret completely hidden from him.

What does it mean to import weapons from foreign countries? What China lacks most now is weapons. No matter where there are guns, they can support the country. Especially in North China, which has fallen into chaos now. Without strong guarantees, no one can protect their own interests. In the past, most of China's weapons were imported from Germany, but because of the tense situation in Asia, Germany has suspended arms exports to China.

Think about the intelligence we got. This kid's security team are all equipped with Mauser pistols and Mauser rifles, and some of them have two Mauser pistols. They fire bullets recklessly. If there is no strong import channel, where did he get so many weapons?

"Captain Mao, can you really get some weapons? What kind of weapons are they?" Some other military leaders were reluctant to speak because Mao Yuanshan was just a security captain. If a general were to discuss arms sales with a security captain, it would be embarrassing if the news got out. However, Captain Zhao did not have this concern.

The Third Regiment of Captain Zhao is a newly formed unit. It can be said that it is the worst equipped in the 29th Army. The equipment of the 29th Army was not very good to begin with, and his troops are the worst of the worst. Not to mention that everyone has a gun, they don’t even have swords. The 29th Army has also set aside part of the funds to purchase weapons, but now you have nowhere to buy them with the money. The entire arming plan of the Third Regiment has been suspended for two months.
