The 29th year of the Republic of China, May 18, 1940.

The establishment and commendation meeting of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Office of the Military Unification Bureau was held in Shanghai.

This is also considered fresh.

The enemy situation is so tense right now that Shanghai District actually held such a meeting.

Most of the detachment leaders from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Loyalty and National Salvation Army arrived.

It is said that at this conference, a promotion ceremony will be held and bonuses will be awarded.

In fact, this is still secondary.

Most importantly, special instructions were given when notifying these detachment leaders of the meeting. This meeting will work out the supplies and material supplies for the second half of the year. Once they are unable to arrive in Shanghai for the meeting, it will be deemed to be automatically abandoned.

The Loyalty and Salvation Army in various places is under the jurisdiction of the Military Command Bureau, but in many places they just have a designation and are allowed to carry out armed struggles on their own.

Some of them were composed of defeated troops of the national army, some were recruited by bandits, and some were assembled by local civilians.

All kinds of things.

Because in Jiangsu territory, there is a mixture of fish and dragons.

The captains of the various detachments under the leadership of the Military Command Bureau have long known that their immediate superiors, Meng Shaoyuan's close and direct troops, such as the Buffalo Detachment, the Swallow Detachment, etc., are all full of fat.

They have sufficient funds, sufficient firepower, and sufficient medicines.

Whenever they ask for anything, Shanghai District will do its best to satisfy them.

Although they need to hand over half of the funds they seized, at least they have a backer and a backbone, right?

Let’s look at other places?

That would be completely different.

Some have the title of captain of a detachment, but have only a few dozen men under their command. Their weapons are in tatters, they often have too much to eat, and they are extremely poor.

Therefore, it is inevitable to do something to rob the people.

Because of this, the reputation of the Loyalty and Salvation Army gradually became hard to hear. When the local people heard that the Loyalty and Salvation Army was coming, every house closed its doors and every household was closed.

This creates a vicious cycle.

Now, a perfect opportunity presented itself to them:

Go to Shanghai to swear allegiance to Meng Shaoyuan. Although it is a close relationship, at least when others eat meat, you can always get a bowl of soup to eat, right?

In the future, I will be confident in asking for military pay.

For a time, those who are close to Shanghai have already arrived, and those who are far away from Shanghai have to find ways to climb to Shanghai.

Among them, at least four detachment captains were captured on the road.

After Meng Shaoyuan heard about this incident, he was so painful that he wanted to cry.

"We must rescue them at all costs!"

Meng Shaoyuan openly issued this order.

In the blink of an eye, he whispered to Wu Jingyi:

"Damn it, the Japanese are also bastards, why don't we arrest them all?"

The Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau made every effort to rescue the captured personnel. This news also greatly enhanced the confidence of the detachment leaders.

When we arrived in Shanghai, each of these detachment leaders were very popular and well-cared for.

Shanghai is a great place after all.

On the 17th, detachment leaders from various places arrived one after another.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't wait to hold a meeting the next day.

Tea, melon seeds, and peanuts were placed in front of each position.

At first glance, it seems that this is not a meeting of the Military Command Bureau, but a party.

The captains of these detachments, those who were familiar with each other, greeted each other. Those who did not know each other introduced themselves to each other, hoping to help and take care of each other in the future.

Some people also discovered that why none of the detachment captains of Meng Shaoyuan's direct troops, such as Wei Yunzhe, Yuan Zhonghe, and Song Deng, came?

Thinking about it again, it's true, they have all eaten so much, why should they share the food in the bowl?

"The Chief of the Operations Section of the Statistical Investigation Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, the Director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Office, and the Chief of Shanghai District, General Meng Shaoyuan, are here!"

With a "swish" sound, everyone stood up.

During the Changshu Mutiny, Meng Shaoyuan's military rank was promoted to major general, and under the personal supervision of the Chairman, his official military rank also jumped to lieutenant colonel as an exception.

In the history of the National Revolutionary Army, it is very rare that Meng Shaoyuan did not follow the normal procedures and was directly promoted from major to lieutenant colonel.

And the rank of major general just sounds nice.

Meng Shaoyuan, who appeared in front of the various detachment leaders at this time, was actually wearing the uniform of a major general of the National Revolutionary Army, and all the medals he had received were hanging on his chest.

How long has it been since you wore a military uniform?

Li Zhifeng muttered there: "You said our commander, dressed like this, doesn't look like a general?"

"No, he looks like a nouveau riche." Lu Chengtian dismissed him: "Look, he's swaying when he walks, and he doesn't even look like a soldier."

"You all want to be wearing small shoes, don't you?" Wu Jingyi scolded them in a low voice.

"Yes, we were wrong."

But who would have thought that Wu Jingyi sighed again: "When I see our Young Master Meng like this, I think of many idioms. The villain is successful, the traitor is powerful, and the cauldron thunders."

"Assistant Wu, you are much more educated than our Chief Meng."

It's a pity that Meng Shaoyuan didn't hear what these guys said.

He walked to his seat and waved his hand:

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you sir!"

Everyone answered loudly.

Really uneducated, Wu Jingyi shook her head repeatedly.

In such a formal situation, the title "comrades" should be used. Why is it that "brothers" are also used?

This "comrade" is universal, used by the Kuomintang Party and the Workers' and Peasants' Party.

"Brothers." Meng Shaoyuan was at a loss: "In the past year, all the detachments of our Loyalty and Salvation Army have performed outstandingly..."

He said a lot of "blah blah blah", nothing more than praising the military exploits of these detachment captains.

“The great situation we have today is the result of the good leadership of our chief.”

A detachment leader stood up.

As an assistant, Qi Xuezhen said something in Meng Shaoyuan's ear.

This person is Gu Changming, the leader of the Dongtai detachment.

He used to be the company commander of the security group. When the Japanese came and the security group was dispersed, he formed a team, which always had about a hundred or ten people. Later, he was also awarded a number.

"Although this is the first time I see your commander today, I have long admired your commander's name." Gu Changming flattered him: "Your commander is so famous that he made the Japanese weep like ghosts and wolves howl when he killed them. When we are outside, whenever we think of your commander, we will feel warm and happy.

Everything you do is done with great energy. With the leadership of the superiors, you will be invincible..."

You can wear it a thousand times, but you can never wear it to flatter yourself.

Meng Shaoyuan was greatly benefited from what he heard.

He couldn't help but look towards Li Zhifeng, which meant:

You look at the flattery of others, that is called a good person, you should learn more from them!

"Captain Gu is too polite."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "I also heard that Captain Gu and the Dongtai Detachment fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders and made many achievements."

Gu Changming felt a little ashamed.
