Chapter 58: The Heart That Can't Be Retained (Part 1)

After Lord John left, Zhang Yunfei called Wang Meng in.

"How is the situation outside?" Zhang Yunfei asked with a headache.

Since the news of the imperial edict from the court a few days ago and the Sino-Japanese armistice and the signing of a peace treaty, Zhang Yunfei looked at the telegram and smiled bitterly. Now, he had to stay here for the time being. These damn ministers really responded to the saying: Outsiders and outsiders and insiders! Now they have all abandoned their past grudges and joined forces to deal with Zhang Yunfei, for fear that Zhang Yunfei would go back and steal their status!

At that time, Zhang Yunfei was about to cut off all the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Navy and put on new military uniforms, but when the officers and soldiers heard this, they became emotional. What? They were dismissed and were still rubbed to the end? They cut off their braids? That's all? They all thought: "Isn't this Zhang Yunfei going to rebel?" Due to the strict thoughts and personal tutoring, most people with families were worried, and they became increasingly unstable.

Originally, Zhang Yunfei was not very good in their minds, but under Zhang Yunfei's pressure and money offensive, he temporarily stabilized. The sneak attack on Japan gradually improved the views of the navy officers and soldiers on him, but this was far from reaching the point of loyalty and death. Now the court has taken Zhang Yunfei's official position to the end and is not allowed to return to China. Now there is a truce. Who would still think of continuing to go crazy with Zhang Yunfei? The last sneak attack on Japan is still a little scared! The originally suppressed emotions are now restless. Originally, Zhang Yunfei thought to give the officers and soldiers a raise in order to win back the hearts of these people, and at the same time, he spent a lot of money to hire hundreds of tailors to rush to make Zhang Yunfei steal the US Navy and Army uniforms from later generations overnight. Unfortunately, these seem to be useless now.

"Commander! Now only Chilean mercenaries in the fleet have no reaction, and the other officers and soldiers brought by the Nanyang Navy are a little restless! The deputy commander of the fleet, Lin Jianzhang, is almost unable to suppress it now! The commander of the Marine Corps Zhao Gang and Zhao also said that one-third of the soldiers were very uneasy, and these soldiers seemed to be going back to their country!" Wang Meng said carefully, and he also knew that Zhang Yunfei felt very uncomfortable now. After all, the generals under his command gave up his boss and left, and it would be hard for anyone to put it on.

After closing his eyes and sinking for a long time, Zhang Yunfei said, "Wang Meng, go and count the list of all the people who are leaving, prepare them for half a year's military pay, and hold a farewell ceremony tomorrow to let them return to their country!"

"Commander! You..." Wang Meng wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he had to turn around and leave the palace and go out to arrange it.

After a while, Zhao Gang and Li Jun rushed in together. Seeing Zhang Yunfei leaning against the chair, Zhao Gang first asked: "Commander! You can't give this order! Once you leave, the whole army will disperse!"

"Yes!" Li Jun helped.

Zhang Yunfei, who was leaning on the chair and thinking, knew that this might happen, but he had no choice. So he opened his eyes and looked at the two of them and asked, "Tell me the truth! How many people have left!"

Zhao Gang and Li Jun looked at each other, and finally Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and said, "At least half, if the adults opened this hole, there would be not much left!"

After saying this, Zhao Gang and Li Jun both showed deep guilt, thinking that they did not lead the good soldiers.

Zhang Yunfei seemed to see Zhao Gang's expression, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and smiled and said, "You don't have to feel guilty. It's because I have a bad reputation and have lost power again. As the saying goes, "There are money falling from the tree and scattering." I don't blame them!"

"Commander! Please forgive me for being too talkative. The court's meaning is very clear. The meaning of letting you think about your mistakes is to let you admit your mistakes. After the braid is left, the Lafayette will restore your post to you!" Zhao Gang said.

"Keep the braids? I have never planned to keep them since I cut off the braids that day!" Zhang Yunfei said firmly.

Zhao Gang and Li Jun looked at each other and only smiled bitterly. The two of them were still thinking of letting Zhang Yunfei change their minds, but now their last hope was shattered.

As he was talking, Wang Meng came back and also brought a list of people to leave.

After Zhang Yunfei took it, he felt a chill. The list goes from the warship captain and the troops to the soldiers, there are more than 1,600 people. At most, the navy's ranks almost two-thirds, a total of 583 people, and half of the army leaves, a total of 1,065 people. Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but frown and smiled reluctantly: "I have a bad relationship with people. So many people have left at once!"

Wang Meng frowned when he saw Zhang Yunfei and said hurriedly: "Most of these people have family businesses. If their parents know that they have cut their braids, they won't be able to remove them! If they don't know that they can't even enter the ancestral grave after death, they will be expelled from the house at the most time!"

Zhang Yunfei knew that Wang Meng was comforting him, so he smiled and said, "Fortunately, not all the people were exposed, otherwise I would have become a foreigner with those Chilean soldiers every day. Haha!"

The few people knew that Zhang Yunfei was laughing forcibly, but they didn't say it out loud. They all laughed.

"Li Jun, please inform all the troops and go to the square opposite the palace in two hours to stand by. Wang Meng, you will immediately invite hundreds of barbers to get hair for these officers and soldiers in the square. Zhao Gang immediately went to Chen Fang and asked Chen Fang to transport all the newly customized military uniforms, military caps and shoes to the square. After the officers and soldiers finish their hair, they will all be replaced!" Zhang Yunfei ordered.

"What should we do if there are warships in our camp?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Let the 2,000 natives sent by the Queen to watch, these people are really very good, don't worry!" Zhang Yunfei said.

"yes!"

The three of them immediately separated.

Zhang Yunfei also thought about letting Chen Fang spit out the benefits of 1 million pounds, but because he had to rely on him to do things on Oahu, he did not make things difficult for him. However, in order to curry favor with Zhang Yunfei, Chen Fang promised to supply Zhang Yunfei with free ammunition and medicine. At the same time, he took on all the military officers and soldiers' full dressing and took on the matter independently, and specially got some command knives and military boots from the United States for generals and other luxurious military supplies.

Military emblem:

With two claws on the eagle, Zhang Yunfei felt that this was more suitable for soldiers and his ambition to dominate the world, only insiders knew about it, and we would not tell others.

Military rank and epaulette: The collar seal is divided into soft and hard, referring to the later Chinese military rank hierarchy system and the US military rank fixed system.

Military rank: 8th grade level 26:

Marshal, military rank during the war, highest military rank in the army, five-star golden eagle eaves eaves (five golden stars plus one golden eagle logo)

Two hours passed soon. Zhang Yunfei and others came to the square and saw that there were 200 barbers waiting to wait. Zhao Gang and others had neatly placed a series of military uniforms and other equipment provided by Chen Fang on the east side of the square.

At this time, the naval officers and marines in the distance were pulling four columns and running towards the square, and soon arrived near the barber. With the order of Li Jun, all the officers and soldiers stood attentively.

"Let the officers and soldiers of Chile change their naval uniforms and equipment first. The others told them that they originally wanted to get their hair done immediately and stand by if they were unwilling to do so!" Zhang Yunfei called Li Jun and ordered.

"Yes!" Li Jun took the order and left.

After a while, the phalanx of the army was divided into three parts. Chilean mercenaries were led to Zhao Gang on the east side of the square to change their military uniforms. The remaining two phalanxes were taken to the west side of the square to sit down and wait, obviously they were about to leave. Zhang Yunfei felt very uncomfortable when he saw nearly two thousand people indifferent and chose to leave. However, seeing the remaining more than a thousand people were cutting hair in batches, Zhang Yunfei felt a little better. The first batch of haircuts were mostly officers, and they thought it was Zhang Yunfei's iron rod. At least these people were determined to hang out with him. Are they not alone! At least there was a little bit of a turtle! Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei showed a long-lost smile. Didn't Mao have a famous saying! It said: "A spark can start a prairie!" They are the sparks.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was stunned, his shoulder suddenly felt pain. When he turned around, he saw that the big guy Pablo was patting his shoulder excitedly, and was still chattering and calling in Chinese:

"Wow! Boss! You are so talented. This new military uniform is so fucking cool to say by your famous saying!"

Zhang Yunfei was speechless, where did you tell me? When did you learn this? However, Zhang Yunfei still comforted him a little. Pablo was wearing a new naval summer uniform, with white half-sleeved and pants, a big white cap on his head, and a black brim covering the scorching sun's harassment of the eyes. American standard black cowhide boots, holding the school official's command knife in his left hand, and his right hand stroked the war eagle logo made of gold on the lieutenant colonel's eagle on his left shoulder, with an expression of loving love.

"How about it fitting! How about it compared to your original naval uniform?" Zhang Yunfei asked.

"Ha! Boss, it's so much better. Both the style and the comfort are very good, especially my neck is finally free. My military uniform always hurts when I put my neck in my arms, and the eaves you designed are so luxurious. I haven't made anything from gold? But it's very exquisite. I like this eagle very much. I hope it can take us to conquer the world as you said, ha!" Pablo said with satisfaction.

‘Yes!’ Zhang Yunfei said silently in his heart.
