Chapter 1136, Mutiny(1/4)
Finished the phone call.
Zhang Yong slowly put down the microphone.
Hu Zongnan's words were a bit confusing. He didn't fully understand them.
Maybe it’s because you can’t say too much details on the phone. So, Hu Zongnan finally mentioned that someone else would be sent to contact him.
Talk face to face.
What to talk about?
not understand.
Turn back and look at the elephant wall.
"Commissioner."
"There is something..."
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
He really didn't understand. He needs to be clarified.
Wave.
He motioned to Lu Xiangbi and him to go outside and talk.
The two walked outside.
"Just now, Chief Hu said on the phone that he had arrested thousands of gangsters..."
"several thousand?"
"Yes. Thousands. No accurate data."
"You said you want to hand the person over to the commissioner?"
"Yes."
Zhang Yong nodded.
This is where he was confused.
What do you want me to do with the gangsters captured by Hu Zongnan?
I'm an inspector. Not a shelter.
What do you want to do by cramming thousands of people here at once? Do you want me to take care of the food?
Please, I am responsible for my own profits and losses and pay for it myself!
"actually……"
"Say what you have to say. If I'm trustworthy."
"What Chief Hu arrested may not be gangsters, but ordinary people, refugees and so on. And then..."
"Kill the good and take credit?"
"It's not that serious. It's just a false report of some achievements."
"Thousands of people..."
"Sir Hu hopes you can help him repay his merits."
"I?"
"It will be more credible if you report it."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong tilted his head and considered it carefully.
It seems like this. If you brag too much, you will be suspected.
However, if it were another person to report, then...
Especially if Zhang Yong reported it, no one would doubt it. Even if they had doubts, they would not dare to say anything.
Otherwise, you will offend two big bosses at the same time. Why bother?
No one in the Military and Administrative Department is stupid.
"It's okay for me to report to him. But people..."
"If it's ordinary people who are willing to stay, it will just enrich the army."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.
Yes. It seems to be possible!
What the 107th Division needs most now is to recruit more troops!
People, the more the better.
It would be best if thousands of people come at once and fill them all up.
As the veterans who were separated before come back one after another, the number of the 107th Division has increased to more than 5,000.
However, five thousand people is still too few. On the battlefield, they cannot be used.
Wang Yaowu's 51st Division also had several thousand men.
The 87th, 88th and other main divisions all have around 12,000 people.
No matter what, it has to be close to 10,000 people to be considered to have some combat effectiveness.
It must be known that once the Songhu Battle begins, the consumption of troops will be very large. It will also be difficult to obtain replacements.
It was spinning continuously, day and night, and there was no time for new recruits to be deployed from the rear.
No one expected that the casualties of the troops would be so heavy. The supplements from the rear could only meet one-fifth of the needs of the front line.
The final result was that many troops had their designations revoked.
An army is reduced to a division. A division is reduced to a brigade or even a regiment.
Where can the 107th Division go to get replenishment? Zhang Yong doesn’t know either.
Therefore, as many people as we can fill now, we will fill it as much as possible.
"Report."
The officer on duty arrived and sent the latest telegram.
Zhang Yong reached out and took the telegram. He found that it was from the Military Department of the 67th Army. He forwarded the telegram from the Military and Political Department.
The Ministry of Military Affairs requested that the 67th Army and the 57th Army set off soon to deploy and defend Anhui.
The other three armies, including the 49th, 51st, and 53rd armies, also all deployed to defend the Central Plains area and left the northwest.
"The boots finally hit the ground..." Lu Xiangbi sighed.
"Let's go to Suzhou." Zhang Yong said calmly, "I will communicate with the Ministry of Military Affairs."
"Maybe..." Lu Xiangbi hesitated.
"What?" Zhang Yong found that Lao Lu was too worried about the country and the people, and his face was full of pain.
In fact, Lu Xiangbi was just forty-five years old. He was considered middle-aged. But he looked like he was in his twilight years.
I guess everyone has been suffering a lot in the past few years.
He retreated without a fight and surrendered the three eastern provinces. He was reviled by the common people and criticized by all the princes.
Especially those literati and poets, it would be better if we didn't scold them to death.
Incompetent. Coward. Traitor. All sorts of crimes.
They themselves don't know how to turn over and wash away their shame.
"Nothing." Lu Xiangbi did not elaborate.
"Then I'll call Commander Wu first." Zhang Yong changed the subject.
Return to the division headquarters.
Call the 67th Army Headquarters directly.
"I'm Zhang Yong, Inspector. I'm looking for your Commander Wu."
"Your Majesty Commissioner, Wu Keren is in a humble position."
"Commander Wu, you lead the 108th Division to implement the order of the Military and Political Ministry. The 107th Division has other arrangements. You can just report it to the Military and Political Ministry directly."
"yes."
"that's all……"
"etc!"
"Commander Wu, what's the matter with you? You can just tell me."
To be continued...
