"What...did I hear correctly? You want to station troops in Japan?"

Everyone couldn't believe their ears, garrisoning troops in Japan... what this concept is, everyone here knew very well.

Commander Liu is a loyal elder after all. He was surprised at first, then hesitated and said: "It seems that such behavior is not good for garrisoning troops in other countries, right?"

Political Commissar Ping did not speak, but the flash of light in his eyes from time to time showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared. He smoked more frequently, and after a while the cigarette in his hand burned to the butt.

Yang Aiyuan looked at Gao Hongming solemnly and said, "Brother Gao, I am much older than you. I ask you to call me brother. You have done something wrong in this matter.

Signing an agreement with another country's government is the right of the country's government only, and no one else has the right to make this decision. If Chairman Chiang learns about this, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

Gao Hongming smiled softly: "Sir Yang, I appreciate your kindness.

But what you don’t know is that Ambassador Gao Si has actually discussed this matter with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek before. The conditions are similar to what I mentioned. The only difference is that the number of troops sent must not be less than 50,000, and it must be within half of the

The preparations were completed within a month, but Chairman Chiang refused, so Ambassador Gao Si approached me."

"The Americans are crazy, they must not have less than 50,000 troops."

Sun Chu clicked his tongue at the side, and all fools knew that since the Americans had made this request, they must have asked the Chongqing government to dispatch elite troops such as the 74th Army, the First Army, the Fifth Army, or the 18th Army.

But Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself felt that such troops were not enough, so how could he be willing to send his own elite to the Pacific battlefield to cause harm to the Americans? Isn't this stupid?

As for the benefits promised by the Americans, in the eyes of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, they are just a carrot hanging on the head of a donkey. Once the Americans turn their backs and deny their promises, they will not have time to cry. After all, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek himself has done this kind of thing many times before.

Of course, he was afraid that others would do this to him, so he refused without thinking.

Sun Chu asked: "Brother Gao, since you also know Chairman Chiang's concerns, aren't you afraid that the Americans will break their promises?"

Yang Aiyuan also advised: "Yes, there is no friendship between countries at all. What's more, you are just the leader of a small militia. Once the Americans turn their backs and refuse to admit their fault, you will have nothing to do.

We have to guard against it.”

Facing the people trying to persuade him, Gao Hongming's attitude was very firm: "Brothers, you don't need to persuade me any more. I know you all have good intentions, but I have already decided on this matter. I will be the one to navigate this muddy water!"

"well!"

Seeing that Gao Hongming had made up his mind, everyone sighed and said nothing more.

Today it was the turn of Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu to take turns. Commander Liu and Political Commissar Heping came out of the combat hall and went to the canteen not far away to eat.

Lunch was spam luncheon stewed with potatoes, a piece of jam, a piece of chocolate and three ounces of multigrain rice. Due to their status, there was even a bottle of Coke.

It is worth mentioning that, strictly speaking, Spam luncheon meat cannot be regarded as real "meat" because its main ingredient is actually starch. However, because it is mixed with a certain proportion of minced pork and a large amount of lard, the taste is a bit

The taste of pork.

If such a thing were placed in the 21st century, most people would probably not even look at it, but for the Chinese soldiers of this era, it is already very rich.

Both Master Liu and Political Commissar Heping enjoyed the meal very much and finished it in less than ten minutes.

Political Commissar Ping put down his chopsticks, picked up the Coke on the table, took a big sip, and burped comfortably. Then he said to Commander Liu: "Old man, if the food of our Eighth Route Army can reach this level, I dare you.

Guaranteed, we can drive the Japanese out of China in less than three years."

Commander Liu laughed, picked up the Coke and took a sip, and then said with emotion: "Logistics is the most important test of the survivability and combat effectiveness of an army. From this point of view, Gao Hongming's Liantai Militia is indeed the richest in China today.

What a pity for our troops..."

Having said this, Master Liu shook his head regretfully.

As an old partner, Political Commissar Ping certainly knew what his old friend was regretting.

He smiled: "Old man, you don't have to feel sorry. As the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions. Brother Gao has his own way to go, so why should we force others to make things difficult for us. But have you noticed that he is willing to send troops this time?

Helping Americans has an unusual meaning."

"Eh... when you said that, I suddenly heard, Brother Gao, is he going to... hiss..."

Master Liu turned to look at Political Commissar Ping, and when he saw him smiling and nodding, he was stunned for a long time before sighing, "He wants to leave a way out for himself!"

Political Commissar Ping said: "If I guess correctly, that's what it means."

Afterwards, the two of them stopped discussing this topic. There were some things that even at their position they couldn't discuss too much.

…………

In the center of the main street in the center of Liantai County, a long row of tables stretches for hundreds of meters. This is the recruitment point set up by the Liantai Militia.

At this moment, there are still huge crowds of people around these recruitment points, and there are long queues in front of all the tables.

Don't doubt it, it's just so lively.

Although there has been a saying in China since ancient times that a good man should not be a soldier, a good man should not make nails, but things need to be viewed dialectically. The reason why the ancients said this is because soldiers earn money by working hard, and that little money can be swallowed up by their bosses at any time.

risks of.

But the Liantai Militia is different. Through the living examples of these years, who in Shanxi does not know that the treatment of the Liantai Militia is notoriously good. Not only do they have meat to eat every day, but even the most ordinary soldier's military salary can support a four-year-old.

The home of the mouth.

If you are killed in battle, it doesn't matter. The Liantai Militia will give you a one-time pension of 300 yuan. This money will be enough for your family to live for a long time. The Liantai Militia will even introduce some jobs within its ability to the widows of fallen soldiers.

Although it's not much, it's at least enough to make ends meet.

This kind of treatment is the only one in China. In view of this, every time the Liantai Militia recruits soldiers, as soon as the table is set, the recruitment point will be immediately surrounded in less than an hour.

This time was no exception. The recruitment office just set up a table at noon today, and within two hours the whole street was surrounded by people who came after hearing the news.

People rushed to tell each other because they heard that the number of people recruited by the Liantai Militia this time was far more than before. Although they didn't know the exact number, some people heard from the officers at the recruitment office that the recruitment would last at least three days.

This is the reason why people who come after hearing the news are happy.

Of course, some people may ask, are these people stupid, are they all trying to die?

What the people who say this don't know is that there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than dying in war.
