Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

They drank one glass of wine after another, and now everyone was drunk.

Seeing that Commander Chen was still indignant, Xiao Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "We only want your adjuster. I'll give you 2000 million US dollars, which is higher than the price offered by our logistics department."

Upon hearing this, Commander Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Xiao. Thank you, Commander Xiao. I thank you on behalf of my 20,000 brothers."

Xiao Wen waved his hand and said to the other officers at the table, "Since you have come all the way here, I cannot treat you unfairly. How about this? I will add a little to the price we agreed on. If you agree, I will arrange for the training team to select people."

Several other Kuomintang officers were also overjoyed after hearing this. Although they also belonged to the Central Army, they were not the elite among them. They knew that the quality of their soldiers could not be compared with that of the Adjustment Division, but they did not expect Xiao Wen to give them extra money.

The price of a soldier is just like that. If Xiao Wen said to increase it a little, it would definitely not be the same as the price given to the adjustment division, but it would definitely be higher than the price given by Chen Hubai’s Corps before.

It wouldn't be noticeable if the number of people was small, but now there are nearly 200,000 central government troops outside Xiyang City. Even if we pick out one-third of them as qualified, the price would still be hundreds of thousands more than before.

With this money, it doesn't matter if the troops are lost. At that time, we can give some to the masters in the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Ordnance, and then the troops and weapons will still come in large numbers, right?

These officers of the government stood up and toasted Xiao Wen. Xiao Wen waved his hand, pointed to the next room, and explained, "There are guests, there are guests. You all must know that speed is of the essence in war. My men here have prepared cash. How much you can take when the time comes depends on you."

After saying that, Xiao Wen stood up, bowed, and left without any further delay.

After Xiao Wen left, the officers of the government sat together and discussed, "After returning from Xiyang, how should we report to Chief He?"

Division Commander Chen slammed the table and cursed: "When we were marching here, we saw so many devils. What can we do? Just report it to General He and say that the devils launched a surprise attack on us and dispersed our troops."

Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers marching out on their way here, they were suddenly silent. As soldiers, they had the responsibility to defend the territory, but the upper seal did not allow them to take the initiative to attack, and now they had to pretend to be nice to the Japanese.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Several Kuomintang officers drank one glass of wine after another, and the originally delicious dishes became tasteless.

When Xiao Wen walked into another room, several officers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army were feasting around a table of food. When they saw Xiao Wen coming in, they all stood up and saluted, saying, "General Xiao."

Xiao Wen smiled and pressed it down, saying, "You guys have suffered so much, how can you be satisfied with such a small amount of food?"

One of the division commanders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army said, "General Xiao, please stop making fun of us. In the past, Chu Yunfei always said that chefs who cook Shanxi cuisine are not good enough for banquets, and that Shandong cuisine should be used for banquets. We all thought that he was just arrogant, but we didn't expect that when we met today, we could see such a huge difference."

Xiao Wen smiled and waved his hands, explaining, "This dish tastes different when cooked by different chefs. Whether it's Jin cuisine or Shandong cuisine, they are both our traditional cuisines. How can we tell which is better?"

"General Xiao is right. We are rough people. How could we have eaten such delicious food?" A brigade commander said with a smile.

Looking at this table of flattering high-ranking officials, Xiao Wendun felt bored. These Jinsui troops were the troops of the children of Shanxi, but they were the most enthusiastic about doing business with the International Youth Column.

After getting the money, these people no longer thought about defending their homes and territories, but were completely focused on doing business with the International Youth Column. The International Youth Column was able to grow and develop in a short period of time, and the greatest credit must definitely be given to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

"Since you are all here in person today, I will get straight to the point. The price I will give you today is definitely the same as the Central Army's."

The officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were immediately overjoyed and quickly stood up to express their gratitude, “Thank you, General Xiao. Thank you, General Xiao.”

Xiao Wen stood up but changed his tone and threatened: "Today we are all acquaintances, so I will put my words here. You can see the current situation in the Three Jins, and I will not hide it from you.

The main force of the Japanese First Army is already fighting us in the field. I hope that after you return to your defense areas, you will do your best to protect the land and the people, and don't let the Japanese defeated soldiers bully our fellow villagers.

However, if someone pretends to obey but secretly disobeys and continues to pretend to be a snake to the devil, it will be the same as this table. "

After saying that, Xiao Wen kicked the table in half with a whip kick, which frightened all the Shanxi Suiyuan Army officers into silence.

Looking at the few people who were hesitant to speak, Xiao Wen clapped his hands. Several section chiefs from the teaching team came in. Xiao Wen pointed at them and said, "These are your acquaintances. Go and take them to select people now. After selecting people, come to our logistics department to collect your money."

Watching the officers being led away one after another like quails, Xiao Wen said, "Remember what I said, and do your duty. My actions just now may have affected you, but today I have prepared a small gift. When the time comes, you can all go to our column logistics department to collect 50 US dollars."

Ignoring the officers' gratitude, Xiao Wen quickly ran to the telecommunications department to inform Xiao Zongmin of the news.

......

Shaanxi General Staff

Xiao Zongmin was overjoyed when he received the news. With Xiao Wen's operation, the International Youth Column instantly had more than 20 regiments.

By the time the Sanjin Campaign is over, these 200,000 troops will be able to join up with the Eighth Route Army at any time, march to North China and liberate the Central Plains at any time.

Xiao Zongmin paced back and forth in the room excitedly, reading the telegram in his hand over and over again. Finally, he could not bear it anymore and called Xiao Tiance over.

"Tian Ce, the study in northern Shaanxi is about to end, and the commanders of our troops will return to their original units. By then, I hope that our column headquarters will open up the roads between the four provinces as soon as possible to create a stable rear base for the management of the Northeast."

Xiao Tiance said with a worried look on his face: "Commander-in-chief, our troops are limited in number. If we liberate the Northeast now, our allies in the north may become a threat."

Xiao Zongmin said excitedly: "This time, Xiao Wen bought out the Central Army and the Shanxi Suiyuan Army that threatened Xiyang before, and waited for the battles in Ludong and Sanjin to end.

We still have hundreds of thousands of mobile troops to attack cities and capture territory. When the time comes, we will expand our army while fighting and solve the problem of the devil as soon as possible this year."

"Oh my goodness, hundreds of thousands! President Chang and Officer Yan will be heartbroken!"
