Originally, Deng Chenggong thought that his arrival was just a chance, but now he heard Feng Yixiang ask to join the militia column or even become a grassroots officer. This joining made Deng Chenggong feel very embarrassed, and agreeing to the other party means giving him a position that is worthy of his identity.

If he didn't agree, with the old general's style, he might think that his militia column was not tolerant. For a moment, Deng Chenggong began to analyze the pros and cons of Feng Yixiang's joining the militia column in his mind.

The first thing that is disadvantageous is that General Feng is now an idle person, and a large part of the reason is that Chairman Jiang, the Kuomintang, was excluded. Of course, it is mainly because Old Feng couldn't stand the behavior of Chairman Jiang, so he always made trouble for him, and being dealt with is naturally in love.

Once the militia column accepts Feng Yixiong to join, it means that Chiang Kai-shek will definitely hate the militia column. This time He Yingqing's intention to come over to ease the situation is probably in vain. Of course, it is no big deal to get into evil with the Kuomintang. Anyway, Deng Chenggong is not willing to contact them. But the two sides are really too stalemate. After all, they are the ruling party of the country. If they really want to cause trouble for you, the militia column will be determined to resist. I guess they will be distracted to solve the problems raised by the Kuomintang. This is undoubtedly the most unfavorable thing for accepting this veteran general.

What is advantageous is that Feng Yixiang joins. Not to mention whether he is a veteran on the battlefield or a warlord who has been in charge of the battlefield, his status and reputation are still good in China. His prestige is relatively good in the minds of the people, which helps to improve the foundation of the militia column. At least with bigwigs like Feng Yixiang joining, those who mock the militia column as a new force in the future can shut up.

If you want to trouble the militia column, you probably have to consider the consequences of offending the old general. After all, Feng Yixiang's hot and evil spirits are well-known. With his joining, the reputation of the militia column will be 10% better. At least, the former Northwest Army troops, which are now being swept by the Kuomintang, will be careful of these Northwest Army counterattacks in the future.

In addition, the original Northwest Army's old nest is the current Northwest Military Sub-district of the Militia Column. If this veteran is joining, the work of the Northwest Military Sub-district will definitely rise sharply. At least next year, the Inner Mongolia Battle will be launched, and with the veteran's command, the main force of the Militia Column that enters the Chahar battle, there should be no need to worry about the unstable situation in the rear. In this way, the chance of successfully regaining Inner Mongolia will undoubtedly increase a little.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Deng Chenggong looked at Feng Yixiang and looked at himself seriously waiting for the reply. Deng Chenggong, who knew that this kind of thing could not be delayed, said with a wry smile: "Elder General, you really gave me a problem. You can see my militia unit, so I, Deng Chenggong, naturally warmly welcome you to join. But you also know that you are now a first-class general and are the leader of the Northwest Army. I thought for a long time that I felt that apart from the position of commander I was given to you, the column really has no qualifications to match you!"

Feng Yi seemed excited to see Deng Chenggong willing to accept his joining, and said, "No, I don't want your commander position. If you really believe in my ability, Lao Feng, then you can leave the matter of the Northwest Military Sub-district to me. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can also be a deputy commander or a brigade commander of the division.

I am familiar with the situation there. Although your Commander Liu is good and has some abilities. However, with such good resources, the speed of expanding the army is still so slow. If I, Lao Feng, had such good conditions as you are now, I would have driven away the Japanese there long ago. And if you don’t mind, after I, Lao Feng, took office, I will definitely be able to take Chahar for you within three months, proving to you that I, Lao Feng, is not old yet. I still have some ability in war. How about it?"

Commander of the Northwest Military Sub-district!

There is no problem with Feng Yixiang's position. As for the three-month recovery of Chahar, this is itself one of the plans of the militia column next year. Otherwise, the recent military expansion of the Northwest Military Region would not have been so great.

Thinking of this, Deng Chenggong also said seriously: "General Feng, since we are talking about official affairs now, I will say whatever I want. Let you serve as the commander of the Northwest Military Sub-district, Deng Chenggong still believes that you have the ability to do a good job in military and political work there.

But I hope to remind you that any appointment of officers at the regiment level or above in the militia column must be approved by me or the headquarters. I do not want anyone to regard the militia column as their own private army. Therefore, when General Feng’s old subordinates return in the future, the positions they hold must be approved by me or me.

This is a principle that anyone who joins the militia column needs to follow. Of course, this is not because I, Deng Chenggong, do not believe in your character, but because military rules are like this. As long as the person you recommend has ability and prestige, I will not be stingy with the position of a regiment brigade commander, and even the division commander is the same.

Another point I can also make an exception to tell you, but I hope that today will keep it confidential regardless of whether you join or not. That is, after the chun, the militia column has formulated a strategic arrangement, and the places to be recovered include the Inner Mongolia area where Chahar is located. In addition, the commander of the 35th Army of the Jin army you saw yesterday, Fu Zuoyi, was actually the commander of the Jin Provincial Military Sub-district of the Militia Column, and he will also serve as the commander of the militia column's attack on the Suiyuan area.

The main strategic idea of ​​the militia column next year is to cooperate with the Northwest Military Sub-district to attack Chahar. After the battle started, the militia column will attack Rehe and the Jin Provincial Military Sub-district will attack Suiyuan. We will strive to fully restore the Inner Mongolia region within one to two months, and build Inner Mongolia into a heavy industrial rear base for the militia column, and when the time is right, we will take over Mongolia, which is now above China.

After all the inner and outer Mongolia are fully liberated, then we will sweep the North China and all the troops stationed in Northeast China with superior forces. Regardless of the situation in the south, the strategic arrangement of our militia column is to try to complete the full liberation of northern China within three to four years. Therefore, you are welcome to join me today, but I do not want to see anything that affects the unity of the militia column. I will say anything at work, and if there is any disrespect, I hope General Feng will be considerate."

At first, Feng Yixiang felt a little unhappy when he heard Deng Chenggong say he was worried about using public interest for personal gain, but after listening to Deng Chenggong's future plans, he seemed a little excited: "As long as you can drive the Japanese out of the Japanese, I can fight them with you, you will follow the rules. If there is anything out of line with me, Feng Yixiang, you can drive me out of the militia column at any time. In this way, Commander Deng can always feel at ease, right?"

In fact, the reason why Deng Chenggong dared to accept the joining of this old general was that his age was indeed a bit older. In the next two years, the old general in front of him was really about to enter the age of sixty. At this age, I believe that his ambitions in the past should be restrained.

As long as the veteran general does not have much ambitions and arranges a few confidants to take important positions in the army, Deng Chenggong will not mind too much. After all, in any army, the factions cannot be completely removed. As long as they do not affect the overall situation of the militia column and dare not have obvious confrontation, Deng Chenggong can pretend not to see it.

After agreeing to Feng Yixiang's joining, considering that he could not be too stimulating the president in Shancheng, Deng successfully decided to announce his position as the general military advisor of the column. Internal part, Feng Yixiang served as the commander of the Northwest Military Sub-district, former commander Liu Guang served as the chief of staff of the Northwest Military Sub-district, former commander of the 31st Division of the Jin army, Sun Feng, also served as deputy commander of the Northwest Military Sub-district and commander of the Xuanhua Division.

After the position was confirmed, Deng Chenggong summoned Fu Zuoyi, Hu Guangzong and others who had not left that night to announce it. After learning that such a big boss had also joined the militia column, Hu Guangzong and others also sighed in their hearts that when can they start to raise dragons in their mud pond!

From this point, we can also see that the presence of the militia column in the domestic army is becoming more and more important. Otherwise, a former leader of the Northwest Army would not have come to their militia column to be the commander of the military sub-district that even three leaders could not be considered a military division commander?

But no matter what, this means that the generals of the Northwest Military Sub-district have exceeded the Southwest Headquarters. If the work of the Northwest Military Sub-district is still not yet completed, then Deng Chenggong will be able to serve as the commander of this military sub-district by himself.

Considering that there is no need to announce this matter yet, Deng Chenggong decided to wait until he could not hide it before announcing the position of the general consultant to the public! Anyway, Chairman Jiang from Shancheng will always be paying attention to the every move of the militia column. At that time, this news will probably make him understand, "If you don't leave me here, you will have a place to leave me."

With the confirmation of his position, Feng Yixiang also began to send special personnel to transfer his family at Deng Chenggong's suggestion. Because he and Deng Chenggong knew very well that once the news of his joining the militia column leaked, with the mood of the sworn chairman, he might even treat General Feng's family as a chengren. At that time, if something really happens to cause trouble, Deng Chenggong will feel uncomfortable, I am afraid that Feng Yixiang will regret it.

However, Deng Chenggong did not agree to Feng Yixiang's proposal to place his family members to live at the headquarters. This is his style. Since he believes in Feng Yixiang's loyalty, he will not play this hostage trick. Feng Yixiang didn't say much about this, but just sighed that the difference between people is so big?

The headquarters meeting held again before the Chun Festival with Feng Yiqing joining, and the next year's combat plan was also made more careful arrangements. As long as the strategic reserves of the Northwest Military Sub-district are in place, it will be the militia column who will rush into Mongolia. For this big battle that will surely alarm the whole of China, the senior leaders of the headquarters present began to get ready to fight. After all, fighting is what they, as generals, like to do the most.
