Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 995 The Value of Wang Ping ([-]rd update!)

"If it is a temporary appointment, there will be no problem..." the commander-in-chief affirmed.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and said, "Wang Ping, since the deputy commander-in-chief and Minister Li have taken a fancy to you, then you should do well and don't lose face. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly!"

"You don't know, the equipment you brought helped me a lot!"

"It won't be long before the Yan'an Remaining Corps will form the first artillery battalion in history."

"Wang Huzi in front, that is, the Suide garrison area, has also formed an infantry artillery company and a mortar company..."

"There are also those light and heavy machine guns, which directly raised the firepower of all troops in the Remaining Corps and Suide Garrison Area!"

"I also thought about how to use the five hundred submachine guns. One hundred for Wang Huzi, one hundred for the left-behind regiment, one hundred for the cavalry in northwest Yan'an, and the remaining two hundred for the guard regiment directly under the headquarters..."

Minister Li also said, "Those materials and funds also helped me a lot!"

"The gold and silver finance worth more than 100 million oceans, in addition to the direct inventory of gold and US dollars, the remaining oceans, legal currency, and Japanese yen are enough for us to use for nearly half a year!"

"Also, speaking of these funds, I thought of a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army a few months ago, hoping that we would exchange all the legal currency on hand for supplies and oceans, even if we lost some money. If I remember correctly, This suggestion seems to be proposed by you, Wang Ping!"

"At that time, we discussed it and decided to accept this suggestion. Looking back now, I really have lingering fears!"

"As soon as we spent all the legal currency in our hands, the legal currency in Chongqing began to depreciate!"

"A few months ago, four or five pieces of legal currency could be exchanged for one ocean, but now, ten pieces of legal currency can not be exchanged for one ocean!"

"Wang Ping, you don't know, just because of your suggestion, the Eighth Route Army and the commander in chief have reduced their losses by hundreds of thousands of oceans!"

Wang Ping replied with a serious face: "If my judgment is not wrong, the chief, the legal currency will continue to be compiled!"

"The economic situation in Chongqing is not much better than ours, but they have to support an army several times, even ten times larger than ours. In the absence of money, there is only one way to support so many troops, Large-scale printing of legal currency~"

"If this situation continues to develop, I estimate that within a year at most, legal currency will become waste paper due to mass issuance!"

Minister Li replied appreciatively: "Yes, your judgment is exactly the same as that of several old professors from the Ministry of Economic Affairs!"

Then he continued: "Deputy commander-in-chief, I said from the beginning that Wang Ping's ability in economics is no worse than in military affairs~ Now it seems that he has reached the level of those old professors!"

"I still insist on the original proposal, transfer Wang Ping from the army to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and let him directly serve as the deputy minister!"

"I remember that Wang Ping was only a regimental commander in the army, a regiment-level cadre. The Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs is a division-level cadre. As long as the deputy commander nods, I'm sure Wang Ping will agree!"

The more Minister Li said, the more excited he became. Facing such a talent as Wang Ping, he directly forgot about the commander-in-chief next to him, and he was completely digging his corner in front of the commander-in-chief.

The deputy commander did not speak, but looked embarrassed.

Just now, he assured the commander-in-chief that Wang Ping's appointment as a special consultant to the Ministry of Economic Affairs was only a temporary appointment, and Minister Li followed closely to expose his true intentions.

"Old Li, have you finished?" The commander-in-chief was not angry, but asked confidently with a smile on his face.

Minister Li quickly explained: "Commander-in-Chief, I'm not trying to poach your corner!)"

"It's just that you also know that we have too few talents in the economic field. It's hard to find a talent, and it's an old revolutionary, an old Red Army, an old party member... I can't help it~"

"Besides, Wang Ping is only a regimental commander in the army, and some cadres can fill his position. But it is different when he comes to the Ministry of Economic Affairs. There are only a few deputy ministers in the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Let him be a deputy minister, and he will definitely be able to make better use of his talents. come out!"

The commander-in-chief asked back: "I can hear it...Old Li, what you said is actually very simple. Wang Ping's use in the Ministry of Economic Affairs is greater than in the army!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Minister Li answered bravely.

The deputy commander is only in charge of the economy, and he also wants Wang Ping, but it is difficult to talk to the commander in chief.

Now that Minister Li speaks for him, and what he said is well-founded, the deputy commander-in-chief also wants to know how the commander-in-chief will explain.

If the explanation doesn't make sense, I won't have much objection to transferring Wang Ping from the army to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

There was no change on the commander-in-chief's face, he still had a sure-fire expression, then he stared at the deputy commander-in-chief and Minister Li and asked back.

"That's right, Wang Ping is indeed a regiment commander, a regiment-level cadre, and a colonel appointed by Chongqing. However, you know how many troops Wang Ping has under his command, and how big the base he established by himself. He died in the hands of his troops. How many little devils are there?"

"In this way, it happens that Wang Ping is here, and it will be more convincing to let him report to you!"

"Yes~ Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Ping hesitated for a while and replied: "When I left the base area, the total strength of the main force of the new regiment had exceeded 5000, and it was about to reach 9000."

"When the new regiment reaches full strength, the total strength of the main force will reach 8000!"

"Including the local garrison, the total strength of all the anti-Japanese armed forces in the base area will reach 5000!"

"As for the scope of the base area, it has already reached nine counties. And it is still expanding..."

"Is this still a regiment?" Minister Li couldn't help exclaiming!

"If I remember correctly, many other bases do not have so many troops in a single division~"

"Commander-in-chief, since Wang Ping already has so many troops in his hands, and the base area is so large, why is Wang Ping still only a regiment commander? According to his military achievements and qualifications, he has no problem being a division commander!"

The commander-in-chief nodded affirmatively: "Yes, in the eyes of me and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Wang Ping has long been our division-level cadre!"

"The reason why he was not promoted is because of Wang Ping's other identity, the colonel's head!"

"Wang Ping is the commander of the colonel appointed by Chongqing, and he was personally appointed by the one in Chongqing. With him in the southwestern part of Shanxi, he can do things that many of our other troops cannot do!"

"Although he is only a regiment commander, for our Eighth Route Army, he is a needle for the sea, pierced in the southwestern part of Shanxi..."

The deputy commander-in-chief and Minister Li are both old revolutionaries who have experienced great waves, and they can hear the hidden meaning in the commander-in-chief's words at once.

After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, although Minister Li was very reluctant and heartbroken, he still made a decision: "Commander-in-chief, I don't know about this. Since Wang Ping has such a great role, he must continue to stay in the army!"

"However, during his studies in Yan'an, the position of special consultant must be concurrently held!"
