Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Central Army 271st Regiment Station

He Shaotang looked at the box on the table, then looked at Wang Zizai across from him, and said angrily: "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this!"

Wang Zizai said nonchalantly, "I know that Commander He is a professional soldier and a hero of the time. When he withdrew from the Battle of Songhu, he also gathered a lot of defeated soldiers from the Sichuan Army, Guangdong Army, Northeast Army, and Northwest Army. A large regiment of 2500 people swelled to more than 5000 when it withdrew from the Songhu battlefield."

"But those masters in the Military and Political Department immediately threw Captain He to Shanxi. Captain He must have had a hard time these years without anyone in his power."

He Shaotang stared at Wang Zizai and opened the box at his eye signal. After opening the box, He Shaotang couldn't help but take a breath and then closed the box.

He said to Wang Zizai: "You should be thankful that you didn't get the Japanese currency, otherwise I would kill you and tell you which side you belong to."

Wang Zizai remained calm on the surface, cursing in his heart, "Who is this idiot who said that everyone in the government loves money?"

"I am the liaison officer of the International Youth Column Flying Brigade. My unit was formed by international patriotic youth in order to return to their motherland and fight against the invaders."

Hearing that Wang Zizai was not here to persuade him to surrender to the devils, He Shaotang's tense face relaxed instantly, and he said to Wang Zizai: "What do you mean, Liaison Officer Wang? 20 US dollars, such a large sum of money, is in front of me. He's gun can kill people."

Wang Zizai laughed disdainfully after hearing this: "If Commander He kills me today, my heavy artillery regiment will drive to Commander He's station tomorrow. When the cannons sound, I'm afraid that the 271st Regiment will also become history along with me."

Hearing Wang Zizai's arrogant words, He Shaotang's throat stagnated, and he didn't say anything to refute. Recently, he received news that the International Youth Column had fought several ambushes in Shanxi, and under the cover of heavy artillery, more than 2000 devils were killed in one battle.

After a few words with Wang Zizai, he found that he was not like the officers he met in the government. Hearing their disdain for the old men in the military and political departments, He Shaotang felt the same way.

In the Battle of Shanghai, both the miscellaneous troops and the reorganized army suffered heavy losses.

The reorganized division where his 271st Regiment was located was disbanded, and the division commander died for his country. He became the highest-ranking officer who survived. He gathered the remnants on the battlefield of Songhu to maintain combat effectiveness. However, the Battle of Songhu failed. During the evacuation, he led his team to gather the defeated soldiers and selected the elite to supplement the combat strength of the 271st Regiment. The rest were disbanded and arranged to his hometown.

The Military and Political Department thought that his department had mixed factions and it was difficult to maintain its combat effectiveness, so they sent him to Shanxi with a transfer order. After arriving in Shanxi, he was not loved by anyone. The Quartermaster Department also thought that his department had falsely reported its establishment, so they only gave him supplies for 1500 people. If you want more, you have to pay. How can the men in the Military and Political Department get you weapons if you don't pay? Because of the supplies, he asked his brothers in his hometown to do business and make money so that he could go to the Quartermaster Department to buy them.

Because the 271st Regiment was strong, the Japanese had sent people to win him over several times, but he drove them away. He knew why his brothers in his hometown were living such a hard life. It was just so that he would have no worries when fighting the Japanese.

Looking at the 20 US dollars in front of him, He Shaotang knew that if he took it, he would be on a pirate ship. If he didn't take it, his brothers in his hometown would have to live frugally to help him raise funds. He Shaotang swallowed his saliva and said, "Why did Liaison Officer Wang take so much money?"

As soon as Wang Zizai saw He Shaotang's face, he knew that he had taken the bait. Although He Shaotang had intended to take the money just now, it was obvious that He Shaotang wanted to take the money without doing anything. Now he asked like this because he wanted to cooperate with them.

Wang Zizai cleared his throat and said, "Captain He, you also know that our Youth Column came back from abroad. We can only replenish our troops by boarding ships from abroad, and then sneaking from the Japanese-occupied areas to Shanxi, which is time-consuming and laborious. Once we suffer huge losses and cannot replenish our troops in a short period of time, we will be easily wiped out by the devils."

Hearing Wang Zizai's words, He Shaotang understood what he meant. He wanted to buy someone from him.

"So, your army wants to?"

"Yes, that's what Captain He thought. We want to seek a group of soldiers from Captain He. Our captain learned that Captain He had gathered a large number of veterans from the Songhu battlefield. He also knew that Captain He loved his soldiers like his own children and had been working hard to maintain their supplies. So our captain asked me to come to Captain He to recruit a group of professional talents."

"These are my beloved relatives, brothers and sisters. Even when I retreated from the Battle of Shanghai, I did not abandon any of them," He Shaotang said affectionately.

When Wang Zizai heard He Shaotang say this, he knew that the matter still had to be discussed. Then Wang Zizai decided to leave instead of talk, so he said, "Since Captain He is reluctant to leave them, I will take my leave." After saying that, Wang Zizai turned around and left.

Seeing that Wang Zizai was really about to leave, He Shaotang immediately reached out to stop him.

"Wait a minute, Liaison Officer Wang."

"Captain He, do you have anything else to say?" Wang Zizai knew in his heart that the matter was settled, but he still said it calmly.

He Shaotang then closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "I'll do what you said. But I'll have to pay more."

"Okay, I hope Captain He can go back and create a form so that we can give you a quote. We don't need them to bring weapons. Captain He, please be ready. We will bring the money this afternoon. The 20 will be kept as a deposit with Captain He." After saying that, Wang Zizai turned around and left without any reluctance.

Behind the screen, He Shaotang's adjutant came out and said, "Commander, this International Youth Column is really generous. 20 US dollars, they bought our regiment and there is still some left."

He Shaotang interrupted him and said, "Don't forget that we still have nearly 10,000 brothers in our hometown. They have had a hard time over the years. We want to fight the Japanese, but we have such a large regiment here. The theater headquarters has repeatedly ordered us not to fire a single shot at the Japanese. The brothers have long been resentful. It would be better to send the brothers to the team fighting the Japanese. It won't hurt the brothers to see the situation."

The adjutant immediately said, "The commander is wise."

Feng Zheng, who was waiting for Wang Zizai to come out outside the 271st Regiment’s base, knew that the matter was done when he saw Wang Zizai’s happy face.

After Wang Zizai got in the car, Feng Zheng said, "I just logged off and contacted Zhi Yuan. Zhi Yuan said that the player's military rank can only be promoted to second lieutenant. A second lieutenant company commander can only lead 180 local soldiers. The squad leaders and platoon leaders below must have the quality of non-commissioned officers."

"I just went in and talked to He Shaotang. It seems that he has a lot of professional soldiers under his command. They are all elite veterans. If we give them some nutrition and training, they will be a first-class army of this era. By then, we will have 35 companies, with 6300 soldiers. The ground crew will be a 5000-man ground crew regiment and a 1000-man anti-aircraft artillery battalion. We can start building our airport then." Wang Zizai made a quick calculation and spoke.

"With so many elite veterans, they are treasures no matter where they are. After some training in the teaching team, they can become elite non-commissioned officers and can be platoon leaders in this era. Is he willing to sell them?" Feng Zheng looked at Wang Zizai, who was resting with his eyes closed, in surprise.

"He Shaotang has to support so many people, and the pressure is very great. Most of his soldiers joined the army to fight the Japanese, and now the Japanese on the Kuomintang side are chasing them away and won't let the soldiers rob. The people under him have been complaining for a long time. Now we are giving him a large amount of US dollars to streamline his troops, and he has to thank us." After saying this, Wang Zizai couldn't help but laugh.

"If we continue like this, there will be no need for the Japanese pirates to launch a surprise attack on the United States next year. I'm afraid that the inflation in the United States will force it to join the war," Feng Kite analyzed.

"For us players, US dollars are just waste paper that can be printed at any time."
