Chapter 36 It's a real beast
Suddenly, the scene suddenly became cold. Everyone looked at Qin Shou, but they didn't expect that he would give two choices so simply.
Some people even started to think about it. In this situation, how should we choose?
If you stay with Qin Shou, you can save your life now. If you don’t withstand the Japanese attack, you will definitely be dead in the end. In addition, letting them, such seniors, beneath Qin Shou, feel very uncomfortable. Of course, if you can defeat the Japanese army and truly gain a foothold in Myanmar, that would be another matter.
As for the second choice, leaving Myitkyina, it would be almost a life-and-death life. The entire northern Myanmar is the area controlled by Japan* himself. It is almost useless to break through Japan*'s blockade and escape back to China.
"Captain Qin, there is indeed no good banquet! Are you trying to blatantly betray the party and the country?" Ye Zhinan stared at Qin Shou viciously.
"Chief Staff Ye is not that serious. We just want to further gather all our strength at the critical moment of life and death. We must solve any person who does not cooperate and attempts to undermine us in advance. We should avoid being stabbed in the swords once we fight with the Japanese." Qin Shou answered in a tit-for-tat way without compromise.
"Captain Qin, we are all party and state soldiers, so we will naturally not do such a thing. Now we are all surrounded by the Japanese, so of course we have to unite." Another expeditionary army officer came out to smooth things out, trying to get along with the enemy and get through the situation.
However, Qin Shou obviously would not give them such a chance.
"My answer is very clear. Everyone should make a choice. Those who stay will be my brother Qin Shou. I promise to treat everyone equally. I will arrange positions according to your abilities. Of course, I will not be the same as before, and now I will still be the same position. My troops will not keep idle people. If you don't want to stay, I, Qin Shou, will never force me to stay!"
Qin Shou's attitude was still very firm. Many of these officers still had real talents and knowledge. However, they were more or less infected with the bad habits of the old army. Even if they stayed, Qin Shou would assess their abilities and then grant relevant positions. There would be no situation where they were the regiment commander before, but now they continue to be regiment commander. If their abilities are indeed excellent and they are willing to join their group, they might be able to work as a deputy regiment commander or battalion commander. Depending on their future performance, they will be promoted.
The officers here all started to ponder. It seemed that Qin Shou did not talk about any kindness.
There are also some officers who express their appreciation for Qin Shou's frankness. This is the upright soldier, and there are not so many twists and turns. Especially some people who were talented and knowledgeable in the previous army but were suppressed for various reasons, regard this time as an opportunity.
"Captain Qin, I, Zhu Maozhen, was the leader of the artillery regiment in the 5th Army of the Expeditionary Force. As the commander said, no matter where he was, he was fighting Japanese devils. I am willing to join the supplementary regiment, even if he was a soldier." Soon, someone responded.
A smile appeared on Qin Shou's face. It seemed that these captured expeditionary army officers were not a solid piece of law!
"Brother Zhu, we plan to build an artillery regiment. Regardless, there is already a candidate for the commander of the artillery regiment. Among them is a heavy artillery battalion equipped with 12 Japanese Type 96 150mm field howitzers. What do you think of Brother Zhu?"
Hearing Qin Shou say this, Zhu Maozhen's eyes were already shining. Although he changed from a regiment commander to a battalion commander, he didn't care about these things at all for people like him who regarded cannons as life.
"Haha, regiment commander, no problem. 12 150mm heavy artillery pieces! That's a big guy that even the Expeditionary Force does not have!" Zhu Maozhen said haha, obviously very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Captain Qin, I am Hu Cuiming, I was the leader of the armored corps of the 5th Army. I wonder if there is a place for me, Mr. Hu?" Another officer in his thirties stood up.
After listening to the other party's introduction, Qin Shou couldn't help but look at the other party more. Now, the supplementary regiment is useless with tanks and armored vehicles. However, this does not mean that this military branch will not be developed in the future. Although the terrain of the South China Sea is not suitable for armored troops. However, such powerful military branch will inevitably be established in the future. Hu Cuiming is undoubtedly a professional in this field!
"Of course, Brother Hu, I, Qin Shou, welcome Brother Hu to join us. Although we do not have an armored force yet, I can guarantee Brother Hu that in half a year, I will definitely give Brother Hu an armored regiment!" Qin Shou promised.
Hu Cuiming was stunned. He didn't know why Qin Shou was so sure. If Qin Shou hadn't been crazy, he would have been talking nonsense. Of course, if Qin Shou could really pull out an armored group in half a year, what's wrong with him working hard for Qin Shou?
"Okay, Captain Qin, then we'll decide. Half a year later, you'll give me an armored regiment and I'll sell it to you!"
After someone took the lead, other officers from the expeditionary army expressed their willingness to join. Qin Shou also accepted them.
In the end, only a few people including Ye Zhinan were left without expressing their opinions.
These people, one is that they look down on Qin Shou and are unwilling to be inferior to Qin Shou. On the other hand, they have no real talent and knowledge at all. Even if they stay now, they will definitely not be able to survive in the future.
"Okay, okay! Captain Qin, it seems that you really want to betray the party and the country. I, Ye, have been deeply cultivated by the party and the country, and will never be tainted with you. Since Myitkyina is your territory, I, Ye, will not wait. When I, Ye, return to China, I, will definitely expose your crimes to the top of the mountain." Ye Zhinan put down a harsh words and left immediately.
Several other officers who did not express their opinions also followed Ye Zhinan.
"Everyone, everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force it. As for Chief Ye to leave, I won't stay." Qin Shou seemed to not care.
However, Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan winked at Zhang Erniu, the commander of the reconnaissance company standing at the door.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Zhinan and his friends were walking north along the highway ten kilometers north of Myitkyina.
Suddenly, several gunshots came, and Ye Zhinan and others were shot and fell to the ground.
After being shot, Ye Zhinan did not die immediately: "Qin Shou, you are such a beast! I, Ye Zhinan, will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"
Then, Ye Zhinan died.
In northern Myanmar, wild beasts were rampant, and the bodies of these people were soon eaten by the beasts without leaving any trace.
