Chapter 55 Perfunctory
PS: This is the first update today, thank you everyone.
Adjutant Wu of the Sixty-Seventh Army said first: "Brother Jin (actually, this Adjutant Wu is at least ten years older than Jin Batian, but if you ask someone, you have to call him a big brother, you have to call him). It's not me, Wu, who has an objection, our 67th Army is indeed not the Central Army and nor does it compare with the Central Army. I will compete with the Northeast Army. Our 67th Army has also fought against the Japanese. Why did we provide the 51st Army, which is the only one who is Yu Xuezhong, and we have replaced many new artillery with the 51st Army."
Adjutant Miao of the 57th Army said: "You only need the 67th Army. Just cover the flanks of the 17th Army and get the bargain from the Central Army. Our 57th Army stands alone. In order to recover the Tianjin Concession, the 51st Army does need a large number of artillery and artillery shells, but our 57th Army's mission is to recover Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan. Is it easier to recover the Tianjin Concession? The one who needs new artillery and artillery shells the most is our 57th Army."
Adjutant Wan of the 53rd Army said: "It's nothing if your 57th Army cannot recover Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan. As long as you force the Japanese out of the line of Chengde, the Japanese will become lonely and will naturally retreat. Besides, the Japanese's trains and artillery and navy are frequently in shipwreck accidents, and the assistance to the war is limited. Our 53rd Army wants to wipe the butts of Shang Zhen's 32nd Army. If we don't agree, we can change the errand."
Adjutant Liu of the Forty-Ninth Army also said: "Our Forty-Ninth Army is the General Reserve, but the General Reserve cannot have no reserve ammunition in its hands. Brother Jin needs to help you with this."
Adjutant He of the Second Cavalry Army was easy to talk to: "Brother Jin (this is much older than Jin Batian), our Second Cavalry Army does not need so many shells and artillery. This is a note opened by Minister Song of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking. It is officially 10,000 units, with 500 60 mortars. Minister Song said that next time the goods arrive, we will be given priority to equip our Second Cavalry Army. I want to ask when we will arrive."
He Zhuguo, the commander of the Second Cavalry Army, had already begun to contact the Nanjing Central Government to start reorganization issues. The other five Northeast Army troops were still in a state of concern. The Northeast Army could maintain the maintenance fee of hundreds of thousands of dollars per army in one month by the Nanjing Central Committee.
The army has 50,000 or 60,000 people. Although hundreds of thousands of yuan is not enough to pay military salaries, it is not difficult to fill your stomach. Cavalry is not as good as infantry. Since ancient times, cavalry has said that one horse is topped by five people. This not only refers to combat effectiveness, but also refers to spending. War horses are not wild horses, they just eat grass. War events come when they call, and after the war they call. That is a state that novelists can write. Eating too much green grass is not only diarrhea, but also has no benefit to war horses. In addition to fodder, war horses also need to eat beans, wheat, bran, and an egg every day during the war is essential.
Although the Second Cavalry Army had only more than 10,000 troops (four cavalry divisions, each with more than 2,000 troops), the expenses were larger than an army composed of 50,000 or 60,000 infantry. Fortunately, the situation on the Great Wall line is good now, and He Zhuguo can also delay it by credit. However, a debt-related person follows him every day, which made He Zhuguo extremely uncomfortable. However, the war horses still have to eat and have to pay back the old account on credit.
The Second Cavalry Army, which had lost its foundation in the four eastern provinces, understood that it was time to change the brand. Before the young marshal went abroad, He Zhuguo began to contact Nanjing, and now he took half a step more than the other military leaders. Originally, the fifth company's midfield was officially equipped with reorganized divisions, but considering the particularity of the cavalry in the north (the firepower of the north has been in the south since ancient times, and the Japanese firepower was not very automated, and the cavalry was still quite powerful in charge in the wilderness), it was also impossible to formally provide the Second Cavalry Army with formal equipment (the fifth company's long one meter in length can be regarded as a riding rifle).
It is not that the other Northeastern troops do not want to sell themselves to the central government and take down the local warlords' brands, but there is always a process, just like the Qing Gong Guard who always says a few words before selling himself to pick up customers: "I'm selling skills but not selling myself." When redeeming the Qing Gong Guardian, the mother also says: "I'm not selling my daughter, I'm marrying my daughter." (Jin Batian was caught in the gun) This is the same thing.
Looking at the Adjutant He of the Second Cavalry Army, Jin Batian knew that He Zhuguo of the Second Cavalry Army had been very close to the central government. So far, the fifth-shot rifle has been produced for more than 20 days, and the output of 6,000 per day has been sold to the Nanjing government for 120,000 per day. The fifth-shot rifle of these 120,300,000 units is about enough for the 300,000 units (not everyone in the army has rifles, and half of them are generally used to operate artillery, submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns, and the proportion of reorganized divisions adapted from the direct Central Army is even greater). However, compared with the need for the 60 to 80 reorganized divisions in Nanjing, it is far from enough. The 300,000 people are just the ten reorganized divisions in the first phase (not to mention that Minister Song also changed the 30,000 people in the tax police regiment, and according to the calculation of the 60 reorganized divisions, only one-sixth was completed, and according to the calculation of the 80 reorganized divisions, the completion rate was one-eighth.
Jin Batian thought that the current state of the Second Cavalry Army is about the same as that of the 29th Army, and is a pro-central force. However, because the cavalry cannot equip cannons, they only need new rifles and sixty-mm mortars. It seems that the central government has really relaxed the equipment conditions of the new rifles. However, if I really give priority to the second cavalry Army as per the note, I don’t know how to advance or retreat. I am afraid that the military funds will not be required after equipping the Second Cavalry Army.
If Minister Song really wants to equip the Second Cavalry Army with a new type of rifle, he just needs to change the new type of rifle to the Second Cavalry Army after an arms transaction every two or three days. It is obvious that it is perfunctory to them. I have to handle this matter as perfunctory and go back and ask Minister Song about his thoughts.
But if you can't say that, you will offend people. Jin Batian looked at the notes, which were written by Minister Song and said, "Since there is a note from Minister Song, it's easy to say. A batch of arms will arrive in one or two days. At that time, the Second Cavalry Army will be allocated first. Although the number may be insufficient this time, it is good to use it to practice and prepare for dressing."
Adjutant He picked up the wine bowl: "Please ask Brother Jin for this matter, I, Mr. He, left first." After that, he did it in one breath.
"We have notes too." When the other adjutants saw it, they took out the notes they had not yet cashed in their hands (this kind of thing is normal) and showed them to Jin Batian.
Jin Batian had no choice but to say, "Don't be anxious, come one by one. But I want to say two points first. First, I am only responsible for the notes signed by Minister Song and Chairman Jiang."
The adjutants checked and found that the slip was more than half less. Jin Batian said again: "I am responsible for guns, cannons and ammunition, and I am not responsible for the installation of medicines and military pay."
Then the strips were half less. Jin Batian looked at them one by one and it was all supplemented by the consumption of some bullets and shells. It was normal. The strips of artillery did not exceed 100 mm caliber. There were also some strips of light and heavy machine guns, which were all supplemented by normal losses in combat. Each order was only hundreds of thousands or millions of bullets or hundreds or thousands of shells, but the amount of ammunition was not small. After all, it was the supply of 200,000 people from four armies, which was also the loss and consumption of the Northeast Army in more than a month.
Chapter completed!
