"Sign in successfully."

"Obtained 300 pairs of cowhide military shoes. (Note: Comrade Yousheng's favorite)"

"Oh, I also made a bunch of military shoes."

"The style is indeed similar to the pair worn by Comrade Yousheng."

Lin Hongfei took out a pair of military shoes, looked at them for a few times, and then put them back into the system space.

At this time, the orderly Li Kui had already prepared the face wash. After Lin Hongfei finished washing, the two of them went to the Fourth Company to take up their posts.

Just like before when he came to the guard company to take office, this time Lin Hongfei went to the fourth company to take office, and Wei Wenqi also went with him and said a few words in front of the soldiers of the fourth company.

When the brigade arrived, not only the officers and soldiers of the fourth company, but also all the officers of the second regiment including the battalion commander and regimental commander were present.

Seeing that the hostess personally sent Lin Hongfei to take office, these people couldn't help but pay more attention to Lin Hongfei. Some people with lively minds were also secretly planning how to build a good relationship with Lin Hongfei, and maybe get some benefits from it.

After the induction ceremony was over, Wei Wenqi and other officers left one after another. At this time, Lin Hongfei became the highest officer in the fourth company barracks.

Because there are not enough years to be promoted to military rank, Lin Hongfei is currently serving as company commander with the rank of lieutenant, which is the same rank as Guo Lang, the deputy company commander of the fourth company.

"Company commander, this is the roster of our fourth company. There are 121 people in the roster. Please take a look at it!" Guo Lang said politely, and then presented the roster.

Lin Hongfei took the roster and quickly flipped through it a few times, then looked up at the fourth company in front of him, and couldn't help but frown:

"Isn't this right? You don't have enough people here for 121 people. There is something wrong with your roster!"

Guo Lang smiled awkwardly: "Company Commander, you also know this..."

In fact, before Guo Lang finished speaking, Lin Hongfei already understood the reason. It was very simple. The former company commander was on empty pay. He clearly had 100 men in front of him, but he directly reported 121 men to the superiors. Now the extra military pay went to him.

own pocket.

This was not a rare thing during the Republic of China. Instead, it was an open secret that everyone in the military knew, but no one exposed.

The company commander falsely reported the number of people in the company to the battalion commander, the battalion commander falsely reported the number of people to the regiment commander, the regiment commander falsely reported the number of people to the brigade commander...

In short, the result of the layers of false reporting is that the books clearly show that there is a brigade of more than 5,000 people here, but in fact, 3,000 people are supported to death.

However, the senior officials are well aware of the problem of falsely reporting the number of people, but they acquiesce in its existence. After all, this is a way for the senior officials to win over people's hearts and obtain the support of the military.

If you dare to pierce this layer of window paper today and send an imperial envoy to investigate the matter, tomorrow the army will turn to other warlords. By the way, the imperial envoy you sent will be arrested for various reasons such as a mistake while climbing a mountain, falling into the water on a boat, bandits, etc.

Get rid of them all.

Lin Hongfei couldn't care about the other officers who were receiving free pay, and he didn't bother to do so.

But his troops must not falsely report the number of people. The actual number of people must be as many as there are on the roster!

After all, Lin Hongfei doesn't need to rely on free money to make money.

"Deputy Company Commander Guo, and you three platoon leaders, come into the room with me to talk."

"The others can disperse!"

After Lin Hongfei said that, he took the four officers into his room. When the other soldiers saw the officers leaving, they immediately dispersed and went back to the dormitory to rest and play.

In the room, Lin Hongfei stared at his four officers, his sharp eyes making the four veterans somewhat uneasy.

At this time, Lin Hongfei said: "I'm new here, and I don't understand the situation of our fourth company. An officer doesn't understand his subordinates, so this is a shitty fight."

"After you go back, tell your brothers that there will be a drill tomorrow morning. I want to personally see the combat effectiveness of the fourth company."

"Yes, company commander!" Guo Lang and others quickly replied.

"Also, our fourth company currently has 18 vacancies, which is not acceptable."

"The reason why the Zhenwu New Army was able to reach Qihe County some time ago was not all because the garrison troops in various places falsely reported their numbers. The garrison was supposed to have 200 people, but in the end there were only 130 people."

"I know that soldiers' pay is low, so I just want to live on empty pay and drink the soldiers' blood."

"I don't care about other companies, and I can't control them, but not in our fourth company!"

"Absolutely not!"

After Lin Hongfei finished speaking, Guo Lang and the other four couldn't help showing some strange expressions. There was both distress over the loss of salary and hostility towards Lin Hongfei.

As soon as we came up, we cut off everyone’s financial resources. This is really too much!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lin Hongfei seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, so he continued: "There will definitely be some people here who are reluctant to my idea."

"It's okay, it's normal. Cutting off people's financial resources is like killing their parents."

"Today I will also open the sky and make a clear statement. If you are reluctant to part with those few free wages, you can choose to leave the Fourth Company and go to work in another company."

"Don't worry, I'm still a bit shy at the brigade headquarters. I can help you with whatever company you want to go to."

"If you feel that if you follow me, Lin Hongfei, you will suffer losses now, you will get more benefits in the future, then stay and help me. From now on, we will all be our own people, and we will share the blessings and share the hardships."

"Where to go, you four can choose for yourself. Give me an answer before dinner!"

"Okay, you can go!"

After Lin Hongfei finished speaking, he raised his hand to indicate that everyone could leave.

Immediately, Guo Lang and the other four said hello to Lin Hongfei and left with complicated expressions.

Not long after, Lin Hongfei clearly heard a burst of noise coming from the barracks. Although he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, judging from the tone and tone of the voices, it seemed that there was a lot of complaining and anger.

Sure enough, when Li Kui walked into the room, he said angrily: "Company Commander, the people in the Fourth Company are so shameless. They actually said bad things about you in the room!"

"Oh, what are you talking about me?" Lin Hongfei asked with interest.

"To say that you are the first to fire upon a new official when he takes office, and to burn them first, is simply not a thing."

"You are still saying that you are doing military drills because you have enough to eat. I wonder how you can have the strength to practice when everyone doesn't even have enough to eat every day."

"They also said that you don't use a tea bowl to drink tea, it's nonsense; you sell cloth without scissors, it's nonsense; Ximen Qing fell in love with Su Daji and messed around..."

"Okay, okay, this is all a mess!"

Lin Hongfei was speechless for a moment. Based on this nonsense, it can be seen that these veterans of the Fourth Company are really useless.

"It doesn't matter, let them talk nonsense, and see how I train these veterans tomorrow!"
