Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

With the continuous development and rapid growth of the independent regiment's base, the independent regiment became united from top to bottom, and the military and civilians were of one mind.

Including deputy head Li Yunlong, who is now more and more like a deputy head.

He cursed less and complained less, and when encountering problems, he would even take the initiative to ask Kong Jie for solutions.

such as……

"I say, Lao Kong, during this period of time, our special forces have been infiltrating and attacking the Japanese strongholds. According to your request, the Japanese in the strongholds must be resolutely eliminated. As for the puppet troops in the strongholds, except for those die-hard traitors who are really bad, the others have been captured and brought back.

Guess what?

Hehe, this person is accumulating more and more people, and now he is almost at number 500.

What are you going to do with the 500 prisoners? You can't just keep them in the base and let them eat for free, right? Damn it, isn't that a bargain for these traitors?"

Kong Jie smiled and asked, "Old Li, what do you think should be done?"

This question was asked to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and felt a headache: "Anyway, I don't trust these traitors, I can't absorb them into the army, right?

That would be a complete mess.

Those in our team are all good comrades who are truly committed to fighting the Japanese.

Don't let a few bugs spoil the whole pot of soup.

In my opinion, it would be better to send these prisoners to the brigade headquarters or the headquarters, so that the general and the brigade commander can have a headache. "

Kong Jie smiled and shook his head. He already had a plan on how to arrange these puppet army prisoners. He then took out the plan for resettling the prisoners that he had prepared long ago.

Hand it to Li Yunlong.

"what?"

"This is the plan on how to deal with these prisoners. I have written it down in the plan. Lao Li, take a look!"

After he finished speaking, Kong Jie was a little surprised that Li Yunlong on the opposite side did not respond. On the contrary, it seemed that even his breathing became heavier.

Look up.

Kong Jie saw a big head with a gloomy face and looked very unhappy.

Kong Jie came back to his senses and slapped his forehead.

"Well, look at my memory. I forgot that you, Lao Li, don't know many words. Blame it on me. Lao Li, let me tell you in detail what I think!"

Li Yunlong: "..."

Old Li swore that he had never been so speechless in his life.

I have never been hit so hard.

Including being punished by the boss to take the blame when crossing the grassland, and being punished by her superiors to do embroidery in the clothing factory after the battle of Cangyunling.

Li Yunlong had never been so depressed.

But this old comrade in front of me, who originally came from the same rough family as me, can now laugh at me for my lack of cultural knowledge!

Li Yunlong actually wanted to curse a few words, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Lao Kong is such a dishonest guy!

The old comrades agreed to be rough guys together.

This kid is studying secretly behind my back.

He wrote various tactical textbooks, base construction plans, and even a basic manual for literacy learning for the propaganda and teaching cadres of the independent regiment.

The educated instructors and counselors in the regiment all applauded after seeing it.

Li Yunlong couldn't just continue to scold Kong Jie for being uneducated, right?

"Fuck you, don't pretend to be an elephant with a green onion in your pig's nose, or pretend to be a college student with Zhu Bajie wearing glasses. You don't even know the shape of a carrying pole when it falls down..."

Li Yunlong thought that these words would probably not be directed at Kong Erlengzi anymore.

Kong Jie had no idea that what was going on in Lao Li's mind would be so exciting.

He explained himself:

"Old Li, you must not underestimate the potential value of these prisoners. They are all excellent free labor.

If our army is to develop and our base is to be built, there must be work to do.

There are people needed to do the farming, the construction of roads and bridges, and the building of houses within the group.

But we soldiers have to train and fight the devils, we can't just work like factory workers every day, right?"

Li Yunlong said thoughtfully: "So you mean to keep these puppet army prisoners in the base and let them work for us for free?"

Kong Jie shook his head: "Lao Li, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by working for us for free? It makes us, the Eighth Route Army, seem to be landlords and exploiters.

This is called labor reform for puppet army prisoners.

Let them work down to earth, sweat more, and think carefully about what they did wrong by being traitors to the Japanese all these years.

I think this is more effective than thought reform.

Including during their labor reform in our base area, I would never be harsh on them. I ensured that they lived warmly and had enough food, and those who performed actively and outstandingly were given special credit.

If they have made enough contributions and meet the standards and want to continue working in our base, I can also pay them workers' wages.

We will also give travel expenses to those who want to leave.

Even if there are people who are willing to stay in our army and fight against the Japanese, I would welcome them with open arms.

If we give them some hope and ensure their personal safety and basic physiological needs, they will be willing and happy to work hard for the development and construction of our base.

Isn’t this a fortune?”

Li Yunlong, who was standing by, was stunned and had to admit it.

Think for a second.

If you were a captured puppet soldier, with such good treatment, food to eat, a place to live, and a salary in the future, and there was always hope in life, who would be willing to rebel?

"Good fellow, Lao Kong, I just realized that you are full of tricks!"

"So, these prisoners can be of great use."

Kong Jie smiled and said: "This is called the demographic dividend, which means the increase in wealth brought about by the increase in population.

Of course, we also have to do a good job of propaganda so that the traitors in the enemy-occupied areas will also know our Eighth Route Army’s policy toward puppet army prisoners.

If anyone does not want to continue to be a traitor to the Japanese, they can come to our Eighth Route Army at any time to cleanse their hearts and start a new life! "

Kill people and kill your heart!

Two days later, Kong Jie, who was a man of action, arranged things.

He also personally summoned the puppet army prisoners and gave them an impassioned speech.

What is the meaning of working hard to get rich and being diligent in life?

If you work hard and down to earth, there will be a promising future.

Carrying out construction and development in the base area is also a silent contribution to the anti-Japanese cause.

If you have made meritorious service in the future, you can start a new life, earn money, or join the Eighth Route Army to gain military merit. Maybe you can even bring honor to your family and make your name known for generations!

As for the specific effects.

Li Yunlong, who also listened to the speech, said: "Old Kong, your words are really exciting. I, Old Li, can't wait to follow these traitors to do it together.

But why do I feel like you've painted a big pie for them, one that they may not be able to eat?"

cough cough-

Kong Jie secretly thought that Li Yunlong was a man with a keen eye.

This is of course just empty talk.

But then again, which leader doesn’t paint a rosy picture for his employees?

How can we motivate employees to work without making big promises?

"Who wouldn't want to eat such a big and delicious cake?"

"Lao Li, this is human nature!"
