Everyone present was confused and had no idea what the two men were talking about. Only a few people's eyes lit up after recalling the commendation order, and they had some clues.
When asked, Li Weidong couldn't help but laugh and curse. Unexpectedly, this old guy who always had a straight face would also speak dumbly: "You are a guy who is always worried about old age! Speak out clearly and let me hear what I think."
Not the same as you?"
Speaking of which, the first batch of genetic soldiers who came out of the base, after half a year of running-in, have integrated into this era and are almost indistinguishable from normal people.
Officials have even developed some unique personality traits. For example, Jiang Tao's personality has become more and more rigorous, and he is even more immovable when commanding the military in battles!
When Li Weidong asked, Ge Changming did not intend to continue to show off, and directly explained to everyone: "Actually, Chiang Kai-shek's purpose this time is to put it simply, he intends to win over our soldiers and alienate our internal unity!"
The drunkard's intention was not to drink, but because Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious of the Hainan Army. He was reluctant to openly punish the Hainan Army, which had a strong fighting capacity, and was worried about the negative impact on society. He also did not want the Hainan Army to continue to become stronger, so he resorted to
This hand.
The most important thing is that Chiang Kai-shek coveted the combat effectiveness of the Hainan Army and wanted to take some of the elite troops of the Hainan Army into his own pocket.
"Then what does this have to do with this commendation order? Is it difficult for us to reject this commendation order from the Nanjing government?" Someone still didn't know the reason and asked.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ge Changming continued to explain: "This is also the place where old Chiang Kai-shek is brilliant. This commendation order must be accepted! Many citizens are watching now. If we refuse, we will be a big man who disrespects the higher-level government."
Hat, just be prepared to wear small shoes from now on!"
"Then there's nothing we can do?" a trainee officer asked anxiously. He couldn't just watch and let Chiang Kai-shek's plan to split the Hainan Army succeed.
When asked, the senior officers among them looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. These interns who had just come out of the military academy did not understand, but they, the senior officers who came from the Hainan Army, knew very well that those system soldiers among the grassroots soldiers
What kind of loyalty is that to Li Weidong?
Even if a general wants to surrender to the enemy and rebel, there will be no soldiers to follow him, and the more people know the background of the Hainan Army, the less likely they will have the idea of rebellion.
Therefore, it can be foreseen in the future that Chiang Kai-shek will steal the chicken but lose the rice this time. In the end, he will be busy but get nothing.
"Haha! Money has been tight recently. Since Chiang Kai-shek wants to win over us, let's see what price he can offer!" Li Weidong said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Li Weidong ordered the headquarters to sort out a pension document recently and hand it over to the Nanjing government, while he continued to preside over the half-opened military meeting.
"General! My proposal is to send additional Hainan Army 4th and 5th garrison divisions! Don't use the North Vietnamese 'National Defense Force' until the situation in North Vietnam stabilizes!" Ge Changming said after thinking for a long time.
When asked, Li Weidong nodded in agreement: "Yes! Chief of Staff Ge said the same thing. The only ones suitable for use now are the 4th and 5th divisions of the Hainan Army."
In fact, the actual situation of the police force is somewhere between professional soldiers and militiamen. Fighting against the Japanese elite troops will definitely be very weak, but compared to those bandits and bandits, after all, they have also received professional training.
"But let's not mention how poorly equipped the soldiers of the garrison are. The training intensity of the garrison has not been high, and the recruits are not very adaptable to the cruel battlefield environment!" But then, Li Weidong hesitated.
"The battlefield is the best environment to test the qualifications of soldiers. The flowers growing in the greenhouse lack tenacious life. Since they are only responsible for the second line, they are less likely to encounter the elite Japanese troops."
Ge Changming finally persuaded Li Weidong with reasons. Following the order of the Hainan Army Headquarters, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Hainan Army immediately began to gather and board the ship. They would be responsible for the order in Guangdong after landing in Guangzhou.
Li Weidong also specifically asked the Logistics Department to urgently propose a batch of light and heavy machine guns to make up for the lack of heavy firepower of the security forces.
With this batch of heavy weapons and equipment to make up for it, even if the Hainan Army's Fourth and Fifth Divisions faced the attack of the Japanese elite divisions, they could still hold on even if they couldn't defeat them.
At the same time, Wu Qiang and others who were still in the training camp were plunged into hellish training programs, including squatting with weights until they could no longer stand up, lurking in smelly ditches for a day and night, and all kinds of simplest killings.
Skill.
"Uh-huh~! Shanmao, you are so cruel!" Wu Qiang grunted in pain and muttered to the opposite Shanmao, who was also wearing a naked upper body.
"Qiangzi! If you don't try your best, if I worry about you being killed in the future, then wouldn't I lose a brother?" said the lynx opposite him.
After twisting the short stick in his hand into a stick, Wu Qiang once stepped forward. For a moment, the sound of the short iron sticks colliding filled their ears.
This is a fighting method that trains reaction and speed. Each person holds a short iron stick of 60 centimeters in length in their left and right hands. When attacking, they use the short stick to hit the opponent's body hard, and the defender must constantly use the short stick to defend.
, if you are not careful, you will be severely beaten with a short iron rod on your body, and your muscles will be in pain.
Since several people came back from the Philippines alive, Wu Qiang gained the recognition of Shanmao, so the two of them also became lifelong friends. On the mainland of Hainan Island, the Wenchang City Military and Administrative Building. It is still as busy as ever, with people rushing around holding documents.
As the figure passed by, the phone kept ringing.
"Ding...ding...ding...!"
Suddenly, in the secretary's room next to the commander's office, the phone on the desk rang. This sudden ringing interrupted the busy female secretary.
"Hello! This is the Commander-in-Chief's Secretariat. Who are you?" The person who answered the phone was a female secretary. Compared with male secretaries, careful women are more suitable for this kind of work.
As the construction of the Hainan military government gradually got on track, Li Weidong gradually separated active military officers from the government due to the idea of separation of military and political affairs.
…………
"Okay! Got it!"
"Understood, I'll tell the general right now!" After saying that, the female secretary hung up the phone, put down her work, and walked through the sliding door to Li Weidong's office.
"Xiaoying, what's the matter?" Seeing Yu Ying walking in, Li Weidong asked.
This Yu Ying is Li Weidong's new secretary. Her family background is average. She joined the military government after graduating from school. After verifying the information of the Military Intelligence Section and her performance was very good, she was transferred to work in the Commander-in-Chief Secretariat.
Gao Yi, the former military adjutant, completely got rid of the complicated chores and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his essential work.
"General! A diplomat who claims to be John Smith from the U.S. Embassy in China wants to see you, should you let him in?" Yu Ying said after seeing Li Weidong.
"Huh!? John Smith!? Didn't he say what he was here for?" Hearing this, Li Weidong was a little confused. He had no contact with the US Embassy in China, and he didn't know what they were here for!
If the North Vietnamese had not defeated the French colonial army in a war, perhaps the Hainan Army would not have been able to get into the eyes of these international giants.
As for John Smith, an American, Li Weidong also knew something about it. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was a military attache in the U.S. Embassy in China. Because the Nanjing government was in the honeymoon period with the United States, it also took care of the military affairs of the National Army.
consultant.
As the saying goes: There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Since Li Weidong can't figure it out at the moment, he might as well meet this American consultant who graduated from a famous military academy: "Let him in! Then go and make him a cup of coffee!"
Soon, I saw Yu Ying walking in with an American. He was about forty years old and a little thin. The biggest impression was that he was a real soldier.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith! Welcome to Hainan!" Seeing him, Li Weidong certainly knew that he was the diplomat Smith, and immediately stood up, shook hands, and welcomed him.
"Oh, my God! I didn't expect the general to be younger than I thought! To use an old Chinese saying, it's 'Heroes come from young men since ancient times'!" Smith exclaimed.
Li Weidong is twenty-six years old this year. He is considered to be quite old in this era. Many people of his age can even walk. But compared to the leaders of other military forces, he is still relatively young in his twenties.
Don't think that foreigners can't compliment others, and Smith has been in China for several years. As an out-and-out China hand, he also has a good understanding of accidents and human relations with Chinese characteristics.
"Haha! I wonder why Mr. Smith came to visit Yuandao?" After exchanging chills, Li Weidong asked Smith the main purpose of his visit.
"Dear General! Actually, during this visit, I have something to ask of the General!" Smith said immediately without being polite at all.
"Oh, just say it, Mr. Smith? If I can help, I will definitely help!" Li Weidong said. He still didn't know what the other party wanted to say, so he continued to wait.
As he spoke, Smith took out a photo of a man from his suit pocket, handed it to Li Weidong, and explained: "This man's German-American name is Schroeder Hiller, and he is a fugitive who is being hunted by the United States of America.
Danger may appear in Indochina in the near future, so I hope the general can reveal his information to us when necessary."
"Haha! This is no problem, it's just a small thing. If I see him, I will definitely give him to you!" In fact, Li Weidong was just telling lies. When Smith took out the photo, Li Weidong recognized it at the first glance.
Above is the foreigner rescued by the special forces from the Philippines.
Moreover, he is obviously a German mineralogist. How come he has become a citizen of your own country, the United States? Or is he a fugitive?
However, what puzzles Li Weidong first is why Americans value this person so much. Does he have any secrets that are not known to the public? And now it seems that he, a foreigner, does not pay enough attention to him. He must have something in his hands that the U.S. government will not know.
A secret that I really want to know.
"Then your Excellency, General Lao!" Smith expressed his gratitude to Li Weidong. However, as for what he really thought in his heart, only God knows.
After sending Smith away, Li Weidong's face instantly turned gloomy. It seemed that the Americans had already suspected the Hainan Army, but they had no evidence.
Then, he continued to say to Yu Ying: "Go to the Science Department and call Schroeder over! Take u, please go to the two agents and make sure."
