War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 284 Don’t give me that!

The money was brought back.

The 20,000 silver coins brought back by the car, plus the 80,000 silver certificates of deposit in the bank controlled by the king's uncle.

When boxes of silver dollars were moved to the garrison headquarters, the 217th Regiment's eyes turned green. Except for the people in the old first battalion, how could anyone else have seen money? But now the soldiers in the old first battalion have become officers of the 217th Regiment.

Wow!

The box containing the silver dollars was moved to the small courtyard where Xu Chaoyang lived. As soon as Yang Jingyu opened the lid of the box, the silver dollars inside shone in the sunlight. At that moment, reality told Xu Chaoyang what "money attracts attention" meant.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the salary may be cut off today."

There was no need for anyone to call them. Xu Chaoyang's regiment headquarters had the 217th Regiment surrounded by so many guys that if you didn't know, you would have thought they were going to mutiny.

"Company and platoon leaders..." Yang Jingyu had just finished speaking when Xu Chaoyang immediately said, "Come in!"

Wow, the platoon leaders from all the battalions outside the courtyard came in. After entering the courtyard, they didn't need any instructions at all. They stood in order of their seniority. Liu Gener and Qu Yong stood at the head, and the others lined up in two rows behind them. They were so fast!

"Chaoyang, everyone is here."

"How can it be not equal?" Xu Chaoyang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. This was the money they deserved. It was money they earned with their lives. It was normal for them to be proactive.

Xu Chaoyang grabbed a handful of silver dollars and scattered them casually, listening to the sound of the silver dollars colliding. Then he turned his head and asked, "Is there any objection to paying the pensions to the brothers who died in the battle first?"

Every platoon leader present immediately responded: "Of course!"

"That's what we have to do."

In these years of war, who can predict life and death?

There was a leader who, after receiving the salary, first calculated the pension for the brothers who died in the battle. This was what made them feel at ease. At least the elderly in their family could use the money they earned for their hard work.

Xu Chaoyang gave Yang Jingyu a look, and Yang Jingyu immediately said, "A total of 586 people from our battalion died outside Baitaizi. The salary and pension for that year should be paid..." Yang Jingyu took out three of the few deposit certificates in his hand, put them aside, and pressed them with a stack of silver dollars: "Company and platoon leaders, compile a list of the fallen soldiers, and tomorrow morning, go to the bank with me, fill in the information of the fallen soldiers, and remit the money."

You Kuier entered the courtyard following the voice, but as soon as he came in, he was stunned!

He has been a soldier for so many years but has never seen a real pension. The local troops said that there was a pension, but when it came to actually distributing the money, Yu Kuier knew it best how these officials would do it.

He knew exactly who the money went into, but what about Xu Chaoyang?
The company and platoon cadres followed the staff to the bank to remit money. Do you think the combat effectiveness of the remaining soldiers of the 29th Army can be better than that of the 217th Regiment? When their soldiers died, they knew that their elderly family members would definitely receive the money to live on. What about other troops?

This is really doing things for the dead in front of the living. You Kuier felt that the way his 218th Regiment looked at these people in the yard had changed!

"Next, give priority to issuing combat hero rewards."

After Lao Yang said this to the company-level officers, he shouted, "Captain Chang, step out!"

Chang Zhan, who was standing alone on the side, strode forward and said, "Here!"

"In the battle outside Xifengkou to seize the Northeast Highlands, Chang Zhan was wounded seven times, but he always bravely advanced without stopping. He is awarded 100 silver dollars alone, and his military pay will be paid separately!"

"The entire first company of the former first battalion will be awarded 500 silver dollars, and military pay will be paid separately!"

"Those who participated in the battle to seize the Northeastern Heights outside Xifengkou will receive the money."

You Kuier knew that battle too well. It was in that battle that Old Huang from the 217st Battalion of the th Regiment had his brain damaged and he has not returned to the team yet.

I heard that he ate something unclean, but why did he not get an upset stomach but instead got an upset brain? People who are not in the 217th Regiment are still not sure.

When the people from the old company stood up, Xu Chaoyang turned his back. He was reluctant to look at the sparse figures. The old company was almost wiped out...

"Man Guangzhi, step out."

The boy stood up happily again, and took back his own reward of fifty silver dollars and the reward of five hundred silver dollars for the whole platoon with the people from their "Old First Battalion" artillery platoon.

After the two men who made outstanding contributions at Xifengkou received their bonuses, the 217th Regiment distributed their salaries according to the original rules. The rules were the same as last time, except that the salary standards for the soldiers in the old first battalion were raised. The few who were originally at the top had their salaries symbolically increased by five silver dollars by Xu Chaoyang, with the reason being: "It's not easy to survive."

Yes, it’s not easy to survive.

After this group of people received the money, You Kuier never expected that the soldiers from his 218th Regiment who had newly joined the 217th Regiment would also receive pay, but they only received it according to the minimum standard, fifteen dollars per person.

It turned out that the soldiers of the 218th Regiment had received the money. They looked at their immediate superiors, the company and platoon leaders, in disbelief and asked stupidly, "Are you really giving it to me?"

This shows how evil those warlord troops are!
Yang Jingyu specifically reiterated the discipline: "Everyone listen carefully, the platoon leaders of each company are not allowed to privately withhold even a silver dollar from the wages paid to the soldiers. 217 has 217 rules. No gambling, no prostitution, no smoking, no drinking the blood of soldiers. If you violate these, there will be no mercy. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

All the officers in the courtyard stood at attention, and the newly joined soldiers of the 218th Regiment felt relieved. Even so, they looked at their former leader You Kui'er tremblingly when they left. When You Kui'er saw this, his old face turned red and he cursed: "Why the hell are you looking at me!"

You Kuier felt that he seemed to have lost control of the soldiers who once served under his command. There was naked hatred in their eyes when they looked at him, a hatred that was evident when compared with the hatred shown by the 217th Regiment!
"Those who have their salaries collected should not leave yet. Those who want to remit money back home should report to Staff Officer Yang, and we will go to the bank together tomorrow morning." It is more appropriate to say this. The money in the hands of the soldiers will be real, otherwise you will not be able to explain it tomorrow morning.

……

into the night.

Peking Military Branch.

Commander He was sitting in front of a desk lamp, writing a document, when an officer shouted at the door: "Report!"

"Enter."

Deputy Director Li from the Ministry of Finance came in and handed over the document in his hand. "Commander He, this is the document for the 217th Regiment to receive military pay. Here is the signature of Commander Xu. Here is the share to be received. yuan in cash and yuan in bank deposits, a total of yuan."

"Yeah." Chief He didn't even look at it, as if such a small amount of money was nothing to him.

"Well, Commander He, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first..."

"Wait." Officer He followed up the conversation and said, "Did Xu Chaoyang distribute the money?"

"Yes, our people sent the money over and the 217th Regiment distributed it on the spot."

"All sent?"

"No, I listened outside for a while, and they only paid tens of thousands. We started counting from the time the 217th Regiment entered Chahar, and Xu Chaoyang only received this year's salary."

Commander He then smiled as if to say, "As I expected," and said, "These soldiers are just like dogs that can't stop eating shit!"

How could he know that the 217th Regiment had already sent out its troops last year...

"Well, let the people at the garrison headquarters bring in more people tonight. With money in their hands, those mountain cat beasts from the 217th Regiment will definitely have fun, and if they drink too much, they will cause trouble."

"clear."

"Go."

"Yes."

Deputy Director Li left, turned right after leaving the yard, and entered an office in another yard. After entering the room, he turned on the light, illuminating the sign "Ministry of Finance" on the desk.

He picked up the phone and said, "Hello? Security headquarters."

"Hey, Security Command? Looking for Xu Chaoyang!"

"Chaoyang? I, your brother Li, just came out of Commander He's room. Commander He personally told me to call the Security Command and said that your 217th Regiment has money and will definitely cause trouble in Beiping. Do you understand?"

"What do you mean by keeping a close eye on your men? I'm going to get you a dragon. Don't you understand?"

"Blockhead!"

"Find some people and go cause some trouble. Tell me the time and place, and I'll have the Security Command clean up the mess."

"Officer He has spoken out, can you not let him 'foresee the future'?"

"If he doesn't show off his power over you, will he think you are his own?"

"Commander He is talking about 'rectifying military discipline', but you really don't want to give him this opportunity? The key here is that we must be able to escape unscathed, and we must bow our heads and sincerely admit our mistakes, so that the commander feels that he has personally saved you from the abyss. What he wants is to persuade him with emotion and reason, and you must be moved to tears, right... Brother Xu, this little money is not wasted, right?"

……

"Thank you, thank you Brother Li. Tomorrow, I will pass this level tomorrow. Please choose a place and I will treat you."

Xu Chaoyang was stunned the second he put down the phone. How could he understand that there were so many "policies from above and countermeasures from below" hidden here: "Someone come."

Qu Yong came in directly: "Brother."

Xu Chaoyang looked at Qu Yong and said, "I was looking for you, so..." How do you want Xu Chaoyang to say this?
"Well, go out and find a brothel and cause some trouble, but don't kill anyone."

Qu Yong leaned against the door frame and said, "Brother, I won't go. I know this is a trap. If you still want to rectify military discipline, you can find someone else. I have learned my lesson, really..."

"I asked you to go this time!"

"You asked me to go, but I won't go."

"No."
