At the theater command center, the chief of staff sent a telegram to the National Salvation Army, he began to arrange for the intelligence department to send money to the National Salvation Army.

The National Salvation Army was too far away from the war zone, and there were a large number of Japanese and puppet troops blockade lines in the middle. It was too unrealistic to send troops to send 5,000 yuan to the National Salvation Army and it was almost impossible to do it.

You can only send things through the secret intelligence network of the intelligence system.

In order not to attract outsiders' attention, the Chief of Staff also specially asked someone to change the ocean to gold, which is both convenient to carry and hide.

Just as he was about to hand over the gold to the head of the intelligence department, the communications officer ran over for no reason.

He has been in the command center for nearly three years, sent and received countless telegrams, and has contacted countless troops, but has never encountered a unit that costs money.

Faced with the 5,000 oceans privately commended by the war zone, the National Salvation Army refused to accept them, and asked the war zone to replace the oceans with ten experts in agriculture and water conservancy.

Life is like a mustard of grass in troubled times. A battalion commander can only get two or three hundred oceans of pensions if he dies in battle. It would be great if an ordinary soldier can receive seven or eighty oceans of pensions if he dies in battle.

The military saved the country and exchanged ten people in the war zone for 5,000 yuan, and these ten people were all literati who could not carry guns and fight. He couldn't figure out what kind of person could be worth 500 yuan...

After reading the National Rescue Army's response after reading the call from the National Rescue Army was similar to that of the Communications Staff, and he also showed an inexplicable and strange expression of difference.

He thought Zhou Cheng's actions were too strange.

Don’t want to put a real five thousand oceans, and ask the war zone to compensate them ten experts in agriculture and water conservancy!

There are indeed many such talents in the war zone, but under the influence of the war, the talents of these people are completely useless. They are not only marginalized by the commander-in-chief, but are even regarded as a burden by the war zone.

In order to live and to relieve the pressure on the war zone, they were all sent to the headquarters and logistics departments as ordinary documents...

Zhou Cheng was willing to exchange 5,000 yuan for ten literati who were regarded as burdens by the war zone. The Chief of Staff was shocked and did not understand.

But he didn't spend much time thinking about the reasons.

No matter what purpose Zhou Cheng had or his head was smashed, he was confused. This decision in the telegram was beneficial to the war zone without any harm.

Not only can we get rid of some burdens and reduce the pressure on the war zone, but we can also save 5,000 yuan to support more troops. Why not do it?

You know, this money is not a small amount. If you save a little money, it will be enough for a main team to take two months.

After analyzing the various benefits this decision might bring to the war zone, the Chief of Staff immediately agreed to the request of the National Salvation Army...

The Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan have been in two or three days, because the commander's mood has improved, and the atmosphere of the command has also become relaxed.

But this atmosphere didn't last long before it was interrupted by an intelligence message.

"Bang..."

After reading the information, the commander slapped it on the table and cursed: "Ba Geyalu, a group of idiots, actually gave such an order to the National Saving Army at such a critical moment. Isn't this forcing the National Saving Army to compromise with the Eighth Route Army? If the National Saving Army really admits its mistakes with the Eighth Route Army, and gives compensation to the Eighth Route Army, and asks them for forgiveness, then our previous layout will be in vain..."

The information that was slapped on the table by the army commander was a telegram just translated by his subordinates, which happened to be a reprimanding telegram sent to the National Salvation Army from the war zone.

After reading it, the Chief of Staff understood the commander's concern and then cursed: "Sir, the person who sent this telegram in the Second World War Zone is really stupid. They must have felt that the National Salvation Army suffered the losses of the Eighth Route Army in the battle to attack Yangquan. Even if the War Zone scolded them and asked them to compensate the Eighth Route Army in the form of orders, the National Salvation Army would not submit. In the end, it further angered the Eighth Route Army and made their relationship worse and worse."

"But the Second World War Zone overlooked one thing: after this reprimand telegram was sent, it is likely that the National Salvation Army would notice the danger of their isolation. If they were scared or regretted it, they would definitely try every means to save their increasingly deteriorating relationship with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Sir, I suggest that the intelligence department strengthen the intelligence collection efforts of the National Salvation Army. If the National Salvation Army really wants to restore their relationship with the Eighth Route Army as we judge, we must find a way to destroy it and not give them a chance to reconcile, otherwise all our previous efforts will be gone!"

The commander immediately ordered: "That's it!"

"The telecommunications room continues to withstand the telegrams between the National Salvation Army and the Second World War Zone, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation."

"We finally isolated the national rescue army. Seeing the hope of eliminating them, we must not lose money because of an accident!"

The Chief of Staff returned to the war room more than an hour later, and his expression was obviously much heavier than when he left.

The commander's heart skipped a beat and asked quickly: "Is the National Salvation Army planning to compromise with the Eighth Route Army and ease their relationship?"

"The chief wise, the National Salvation Army just called back to the Second World War Zone. They accepted the punishment decision from the Second World War Zone and were willing to take out a large amount of medicine to compensate the Eighth Route Army and treat the wounded people caused by the Eighth Route Army in the battle." The Chief of Staff replied with a calm face.

"What a wise thing!" The commander was so angry that he cursed, completely ignoring his identity as the commander.

"If I were really as wise as you said, the National Salvation Army would not develop into a major concern step by step. There would not be such an accident now, which would make us so passive."

"Zhou Cheng, commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army, is so powerful that he hits the weak spots of the Eighth Route Army if he takes action!"

"The Eighth Route Army is the most in short supply of medicines. The National Rescue Army gives them so many medicines at once, which not only can save all the wounded people generated in the battle, but also can produce a large amount of medicines to treat other seriously injured people on the battlefield. If I were the commander of the Eighth Route Army, I would ease relations with the National Rescue Army for the sake of medicines and become a friendly army again!"

"I ordered the intelligence department to keep an eye on the National Salvation Army. I must find the medicines that the National Salvation Army is about to compensate the Eighth Route Army, figure out the time and place of the National Salvation Army when giving the medicines to the Eighth Route Army. I will destroy this batch of medicines at all costs. I must not let them fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. When operating, remember to put on the Eighth Route Army uniforms and lead the culprit to the Eighth Route Army, make them suspicious again, and further worsen their relationship."

The Chief of Staff quickly accepted the order: "Go to arrange the position now and ensure that the national rescue army will not be given the opportunity to ease relations!"

An hour passed in a flash, and when the Chief of Staff returned to the war room again, his expression obviously became relaxed.

The commander looked puzzled and asked subconsciously: "The intelligence department will not find the National Salvation Army so soon to prepare to compensate the medicines for the Eighth Route Army!"

The Chief of Staff quickly shook his head: "It hasn't been found yet, but the National Salvation Army wants to ease their relationship with the Eighth Route Army, and there is a turning point."

"World War II was also worried that the National Salvation Army would reconcile with the Eighth Route Army. After knowing that the National Salvation Army decided to compromise with the Eighth Route Army, they immediately sent a telegram to the National Salvation Army, saying that the previous reprimanding telegram was not the original intention of the War Zone, and there was no need for the National Salvation Army to give any compensation to the Eighth Route Army. In order to appease the National Salvation Army, they also privately took out 5,000 yuan of oceans to compensate the National Salvation Army."

"The National Salvation Army has accepted the proposal and compensation from the Second World War Zone and decided not to give any compensation to the Eighth Route Army."

"And also accept the reminder from the war zone. In the future, try to stay away from the Eighth Route Army. If you can do it, don't contact it, so as to prevent the National Salvation Army from being infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army."

"For Zhou Cheng, the National Salvation Army is his lifeblood. He definitely doesn't want anyone to point three fingers at the National Salvation Army to command the National Salvation Army."

"The Eighth Route Army's political and ideological work is notoriously powerful. Zhou Cheng must be worried that they will develop their power in the National Salvation Army and eventually affect his command."

"Yo Xi..." The commander's tense nerves also relaxed at this moment.

Then the order was ordered: "Since the National Salvation Army has given up the opportunity to ease relations with the Eighth Route Army, our plan can continue to be implemented!"

"The frontline troops continue to transfer landlords and gentry from the blockade line to ensure that there is no target for the national rescue army to grab food within thirty kilometers of the occupied area and the National Rescue Military Defense Zone."

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff's face was even more relaxed, and even a smile flashed.

Quickly recall all the information about this in my mind, and then report: "Sir, don't worry, all the landlords and gentry within thirty kilometers of the National Salvation Military Defense Zone were moved by us to the hinterland of the occupied area, especially the food they stored, all sent to the hinterland of the occupied area."

"Not only that, we also organized them to collect extra grain taxes from local people before relocation to ensure that there is no extra grain in the local people's homes except food rations to support the National Rescue Army and sell it to the National Rescue Army."

"The troops on the blockade line reserve food for up to half a month. Because the food delivery time of each stronghold is different, the total amount of grain stored by the front-line troops does not exceed 100,000 kilograms."

"Even if the National Salvation Army robs all the food, it will be a drop in the bucket compared to their food shortage."

The commander was very satisfied with the answer and looked at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "What is the situation in the National Salvation Military Defense Zone? Is there any new movement after they took down Shouyang and Yangquan?"

The Chief of Staff nodded: "In order to completely control Yangquan and Shouyang, the National Salvation Army immediately formed the Shouyang Guard Brigade and Yangquan Guard Brigade."

"In addition to the Xiyang Guarding Brigade and the Pacification Guarding Brigade they formed before, they are not considered the main force, and the National Rescue Army has the strength of four Guarding Brigades."

"There is another very important discovery. These four garrison brigades are not the B-type regiment we judged before."

"In order to paralyze us, the National Salvation Army hid all the artillery and cavalry of the garrison regiment, and this time the attack on Shouyang and Yangquan were exposed."

"The results of the investigation at present are: in addition to the three main battalions, there is also an artillery company and a cavalry company. Each main battalion is under a heavy machine gun platoon, and each main company is under a grenade squad."

"The firepower of the infantry company is far greater than that of our fully-organized infantry squad."

"The total strength of the garrison is more than 1,500 people. In terms of firepower, they can completely crush one of our infantry brigades."

The commander did not show any surprise at this report, because he was used to the act of the National Salvation Army showing weakness by the enemy every time they fought.

He stared at the Chief of Staff and continued to ask: "Don't talk about their troops and equipment status for now, and report it to me after the intelligence department has fully understood it. What I want is detailed data, not your estimate."

"Tell me about the situation of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. We have thrown such a big burden to the National Savior Army. I really want to know how they deal with this burden!"
