Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Li Guosheng nodded in satisfaction, and continued to speak under the increasingly hot eyes of the two: "In this case, we have decided on this method. Next, let's continue to discuss my second method... "

After shifting his gaze to He Shiyan, Li Guosheng asked with interest: "Mr. He, in your report just now, I really want to hear that many people on the front line of the Yellow River want to join our national defense force. You know, We Chinese have a common saying since ancient times, "Good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not serve as a soldier." I want to know why the people here want to be soldiers so much..."

"Of course, our National Defense Forces have good welfare and treatment, and have been winning battles..." He Shiyan replied as a matter of course.

"After entering the defense zone, in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, I used some of the people-friendly methods that our National Defense Forces have used. Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good. Not only are the common people no longer afraid of our National Defense Forces, but they are also full of enthusiasm for our National Defense Forces. Curious, ask the cold and warm."

Li Guosheng interjected with a smile: "Then you order the troops to take advantage of this opportunity to publicize the various welfare benefits of our National Defense Force..."

Li Guosheng affirmed his work, and the excited expression on He Shiyan's face became more intense, and he replied loudly.

"Yes, Chief..."

"It not only publicizes our benefits and treatment, but also publicizes the various achievements of our national defense force since its establishment, making the national defense force gradually become a heroic force in the hearts of the people, and it is proud to join the national defense force."

"In addition to this, I have opened all areas of the military camp to the people around the camp except for the arsenal and other important units. Everyone is allowed to visit, and the troops are openly trained..."

"After this series of events, the people around the garrison know that participating in the National Defense Forces can not only get a generous military salary. As military family members, they can also get different degrees of food tax relief. More importantly, even if they will fight in the future If you die on the battlefield, the generous pension you get is enough for your family to live the rest of their lives..."

"However, because of the military discipline of our National Defense Force, although everyone is very enthusiastic about joining the National Defense Force, I did not nod in agreement. I just simply registered young adults who want to join the National Defense Force."

He Shiyan's series of actions will undoubtedly play a very positive role in the second method that he will put into action next.Think here.Li Guosheng couldn't help casting a praising look at He Shiyan in front of him.At the same time, I also remember this very intelligent major general in my heart.

Of course, He Shiyan didn't know at the moment that he had left a deep impression on Li Guosheng.

More importantly, it won't take long before a promotion order from the General Command of the National Defense Forces will be delivered to him.

Seeing the increasingly widening smile on Li Guosheng's face, he was so excited that he subconsciously asked, "Boss, is your second solution related to recruiting..."

"Yes, it's recruitment..." Li Guosheng affirmed with a smile.

Facing Master He Shiyan with a mysterious face, he said: "All the methods just now are just to disintegrate the mass base of the Red Party. And my next method is aimed at the Red Party and the Red Army..."

Two days later, a notice appeared at the gates of the various barracks of the National Defense Forces stationed on the Yellow River at the same time.

Not only that, the local officials also informed the people in the area under their jurisdiction a very important news, village by village.

"In order to alleviate the pressure on the National Defense Forces, the General Command of the National Defense Forces ordered that [-] new recruits will be recruited in the area under its jurisdiction... All local young adults who are willing to join the National Defense Forces should quickly report to the nearest barracks to meet the various requirements issued by the National Defense Forces. After the recruitment conditions, you can join the National Defense Forces and become a recruit of the National Defense Forces...."

heard the news.Most young people in the jurisdiction involuntarily have a picture that makes people feel excited.

Wearing a camouflage training uniform, carrying a rifle he had never seen before.Heroic training in the training ground.....

Of course, this is only one aspect of attracting young people.

In the eyes of the lowest-level people in China, it is only right and proper to serve as a soldier and eat food.Therefore, if you want to join the army, the first thing you think of is the luxurious benefits of the National Defense Forces.

"Ordinary recruits, the so-called privates of the National Defense Forces, pay six oceans a month. After being promoted to a corporal in the field force, they pay eight oceans a month. As they serve for two years, after being promoted from a corporal to a sergeant, they pay a monthly salary of eight yuan. The military pay is directly increased to 12 yuan."

"Of course, if I perform well in the army and get promoted to sergeant squad leader, my monthly salary will become 15 yuan. If I have the opportunity, I can be promoted to lieutenant officer, and my monthly salary will be doubled The upward growth, and there is also the opportunity to be recommended to enter the National Defense University for further study and further study..."

That is to say, only the military salary received after joining the National Defense Forces, the military salary obtained by a single member of the family as a soldier can reach the income of a family working hard in the fields for a year.

And that's just the second benefit of being in the Wehrmacht.

For the people within the jurisdiction of the National Defense Forces, as long as one member of the family joins the army, the family members can get a preferential policy of exempting [-] catties of grain tax every year during the entire service period.

Compared with military pay, five hundred catties of food is not a lot.However, in the eyes of the people who have been living at the bottom, five hundred catties of grain can fully satisfy one person in the family for a year.

Therefore, as soon as the recruitment notice of the National Defense Forces was posted, the garrison barracks of the 021 Division in various places welcomed a large number of young people who wanted to join the army.

After a rigorous selection process, it took only five days for the [-] recruits who had fully met the standards to be selected.

Facing five thousand recruits who can be called the best of the best, all young men in their 20s.

If it is other warlord forces, or even Lao Jiang's central government army.Faced with the thousands of recruits that were finally recruited, they will definitely be sent to the barracks for training as soon as possible, so as to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

However, the Wehrmacht in front of us is different.

Under Li Guosheng's special explanation, this recruitment will vividly stage all the forms of the National Defense Forces.

The [-] new recruits will be in villages and towns, escorted by the same number of National Defense Forces officers and soldiers.Bringing big red flowers, pack into a car and go back to his hometown for a parade.certainly.While parading, the National Defense Forces gave each recruit a [-]-seat settlement allowance.It was also distributed to family members under the watchful eyes of all villagers and neighbors.....

After a series of situations were completed, [-] recruits were transported by the car battalion to Taiyuan for intensive training.

Although the matter of recruiting recruits for the National Defense Forces has passed, the series of effects of recruiting recruits on ordinary people are deeply rooted in their hearts.

In a farmhouse about one kilometer away from the Yellow River, five members of the family are sitting around the only table in the house without saying a word.

From the dignified expressions on everyone's faces, it can be felt that the atmosphere in this family is not very good at this moment.

This is indeed the case.

A few months ago, when the National Defense Forces had not yet taken over here, the Red Army of the Red Party was undoubtedly the master here.Faced with the constant instigation of the Red Party propaganda team, coupled with the dozens of catties of flour that the Red Party distributed to his family after the local tyrants were beaten.As the head of the family, Wang Yougen decisively decided to let his unmarried second son join the Red Army.

At that time, because his son joined the Red Army, Wang Yougen, who thought he had found a good way out for his son to make his son famous, still showed off to his neighbors.Among the neighbors and folks around, they are also full of pride, as if their son has gone out and become a high-ranking official.

However, all of this is slowly changing due to the arrival of the Wehrmacht.

Not only did the National Defense Forces not confiscate the fields that the Red Army distributed to them after they beat up the local tyrants, but they also allocated several more acres of land, so that each family member had eight acres of fertile land.Not only that, but also met all the exorbitant taxes imposed on him by the government.A fixed grain tax is levied only once a year based on the number of acres of land in the confidant's family.

Because his son joined the Red Army, Wang Yougen thought that everything he saw was an illusion, and that the National Defense Forces were trying to buy people's hearts.I had to follow in the footsteps of the Red Army, allocating land to myself and reducing or exempting taxes.It's been a long time.Sooner or later, the National Defense Forces occupying this place will show their fangs and take back what was distributed to everyone.

but.To Wang Yougen's surprise, not only did he not see the National Defense Forces take back the fields in everyone's hands.I also rewritten the government-approved land deed for everyone...

In the thinking of the Chinese since ancient times, only with the title deed can this piece of land truly belong to them, and no one can take it away.Therefore, on the day the title deed was obtained, the whole family wept with joy.At the same time, Wang Yougen's impression of the National Defense Forces also changed a lot, and he began to support various policies of the National Defense Forces.

When the National Defense Forces told everyone again: In order to ensure the autumn harvest, the National Defense Forces will provide you with high-quality seeds for free, and even farming tools and cattle.

In Wang Yougen's mind, the status of the National Defense Forces has surpassed the Red Army of the Red Party that his son joined.The national defense forces occupying Shanxi in front of them are not here to exploit themselves, but really to make themselves rich.

However, when the National Defense Forces began to recruit troops locally, Wang Yougen's thoughts changed again.

Especially seeing that the National Defense Army really sent 100 yuan of ocean relocation allowance to the neighbor Pharaoh, and promised to Pharaoh in front of all the villagers: the soldiers will be paid in full every month, and there will be no deductions.The family members of the recruits, as members of the military, can enjoy the preferential policy of [-] catties of grain tax reduction every year...

Seeing the excited and proud expression on Lao Wang's face, Wang Yougen suddenly felt how stupid it was for him to let his second son join the Red Army.

If my second son hadn’t joined the Red Army, if my second son had joined the National Defense Forces, I would have received 100 yuan as a settlement allowance like my neighbors. I saw my son carrying big red flowers and sitting on me under the escort of the National Defense Forces officers and soldiers. A car that I have never ridden in my life is paraded through the streets, and the public praises it...

However, all of this was shattered because of his stupid decision at the beginning.

Not only did his son’s participation in the so-called Red Party Red Army not bring any benefits to his family, he did not receive generous military pay from the National Defense Forces, and he did not even have the minimum pension after his death in battle...

And the National Defense Army in front of us not only paid the settlement allowance, exempted the family members from a certain amount of food tax, but also implied that they would pay a full amount of military salary every month, and they could eat meat every day in the army... More importantly, even if they died in battle one day in the future, The pensions issued by the National Defense Forces to the family members are also enough for the family members to spend the rest of their lives without any worries...

Comparing the two, the huge gap is very clearly displayed in front of Wang Yougen.

At this moment, Wang Yougen suddenly had a feeling.Facing the immediate benefits given by the National Defense Forces, and facing the various illusory futures promised to itself by the Red Party and the Red Army.I seem to have been fooled by the Red Party and the Red Army.Under the constant flickering of the Red Army of the Red Party, the second son was sent to the Red Army of the Red Party without any military pay and benefits to suffer.

Faced with Wang Yougen, whose face was constantly changing.The wife, with a trace of remorse on her face, asked loudly: "You, the head of the family, are you saying something...Look at what you did in the first place, to let the second child join the Red Army who couldn't even eat enough. "

"You are looking at Lao Wang from the family next door. His son joined the National Defense Forces. Not only did he pay 100 yuan in settlement allowances, he was exempted from the annual grain tax of [-] catties, and he was also paid [-] yuan a month. That's [-] yuan. Dayang, even if we use all of it to buy food, it is enough for our family of five to eat for a month..."

Seeing Wang Yougen who kept silent in front of him, his wife continued to complain: "My poor second son...my son eats meat and puts on good clothes every day in the National Defense Army, but our son starves every day in the Red Army. I can't wear a new dress, and I can't eat meat a few times. Is this retribution..."

Just when his wife was about to continue talking, Wang Yougen finally said: "Have you said enough... I also want our second son to join the National Defense Army, but didn't I think of it at the beginning... Now the second son has joined the Red Army. Shaanxi, what's the use of regretting now..."

Seeing that Wang Yougen has shown signs of softening.The wife hurriedly said: "Why is it useless? We can let the second child leave the Red Army and go home... Our family now has dozens of acres of land. Even if we go home to farm, it is better than being in the Red Army and not having enough to eat. Let alone. The National Defense Forces don’t only recruit recruits once, when they recruit recruits next time, our second child can sign up..."

"This... isn't this making the second child a deserter... You know. If you are a deserter in the army, you will be shot. You don't want the second child to die..." Wang Yougen, who was shocked, hurried down Open your mouth to persuade.

After hearing the word 'deserter'.The wife didn't want to, and continued to complain with dissatisfaction: "What deserters. What are you talking about in the family... Who let the welfare of the Red Army not be as good as that of the National Defense Army? Since we can join the Red Army, then we can quit the Red Army... "

Speaking of this, the eyes of the wife who had decided to let her son go home lit up, and she urged Wang Yougen: "When the second child joined the army, didn't the commander of the army say that after joining the Red Army, he could go home to visit his parents... Since the Red Army has this According to the rules, then let's have someone send a message to the second child, telling him that I am seriously ill and dying, and let him come back to see him for the last time."

"At that time, as long as our second child returns to Shanxi, the Red Army, which doesn't even have a plane, can't do anything to us anymore. At that time, our second child will plant the land if he wants to farm at home, and join the army if he wants to join the army... "

Hearing this, Wang Yougen was also moved.

Five days later, the second son of the Wang family, who was training at a Red Army garrison in Shaanxi, was handed over to the battalion headquarters by the battalion commander. After a hard-hearted education by the battalion instructor, he returned to his changed home with anxiety.

Seeing her mother standing in front of her still intact.The second child asked back with a puzzled look: "Mom... Didn't you write that you were bedridden? Could it be that you are already well..."

After Wang Yougen slapped the second child who was obviously much stronger, he scolded angrily: "What nonsense, your mother is fine... If you don't say that your mother is bedridden, will your officer let you come back? Tell me Come in, I have something to tell you..."

"As for the child's mother, you should prepare meals immediately, kill an old hen to stew, and feed the second child..."

Seeing the smiling mother in front of her, she didn't object to killing the chicken, and walked directly to where the chicken coop was.

The second child hurriedly stopped him and said, "Dad, what are you doing... The old hen at home can be used to lay eggs in exchange for rice, oil and salt in the house. If you kill it, what will we do with the rice, oil and salt in our family in the future? Although when the Red Army left The land was allocated to us, and a lot of food was left, but our family is not so extravagant that we can kill old hens..."

He glared fiercely at the second queen who had been harmed by the Red Army and had been deeply poisoned.

Wang Yougen scolded loudly: "Shit, the little food the Red Army gave us is not enough for a week...don't mention the Red Army to me, I will get angry when I mention the Red Army."

Hearing this, the second child quit and retorted loudly: "Dad, how did you talk? How could you speak ill of the Red Army? If it wasn't for the Red Army, how could our family be assigned land? If it wasn't for the Red Army, how could my son Become a good Red Army soldier...."

After glaring again at the unfeeling second child in front of him, Wang Yougen was completely annoyed, and he was so angry by his own second child.

He yelled at the second child: "You have no conscience, even now, you still don't know who our family's benefactor is... Yes, the Red Army gave us the land, but there is no government issued Sooner or later, these fields will return to the hands of the landlord Lao Cai."

"However, since the National Defense Army came, we no longer have to worry about the land in our hands being taken back by the old landlord. Because the National Defense Army not only issued us a land deed recognized by the government, but also allocated several acres of land to each of us. .”

"More importantly, the grain seeds planted in our fields this year, the agricultural tools used for growing grain, and even the cattle are all provided to us by the National Defense Forces for free. If there is no free ration provided by the National Defense Forces to us, we can rely on The tens of catties of grain left by the Red Army, our family has long since eaten bran and drank water..."

"Also, you said that it is glorious to be in the Red Army, and it is good to be in the Red Army... Then let me ask you, have you been in the Red Army for so long, has the Red Army ever given you a piece of military pay, have you ever eaten a penny in the Red Army? Dun Rou, did the Red Army unit you joined give us a piece of housing allowance..." (to be continued...)
