Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Li Heng only investigated for half an hour and couldn't go any further.

The entire camp of the Temporary 1st Regiment was littered with metal fragments. The metal detector would beep every two steps. When they dug up the ground, they found all kinds of things inside: bullet casings, metal shavings, broken iron pieces, and all sorts of other things.

This place was once the battlefield of the Battle of Shanghai.

Li Heng had no choice but to give up the investigation. If he wanted to investigate further, he would have to dig deep into the entire temporary group, which was impossible!

He wanted to bribe the soldiers of the 1st Temporary Regiment, but everyone avoided him as if he were the plague. They either refused to talk about it or talked about other things. Some soldiers with bad tempers even made indirect accusations.

There was no other way, so Li Heng had to change his target to investigating the temporary group's disruption of financial order.

According to the order of the authorities, no individual or organization is allowed to hold gold, silver and foreign currency, but the Temporary 1st Regiment used rice and yuan to pay military salaries, which was clearly a violation of the ban!

Soon, he was dumbfounded again.

The money used by the entire temporary group is called accounting rice yuan. What is accounting rice yuan?

That is, the rice and yuan only exist in the account books and there is no cash at all.

To put it bluntly, what was circulated was IOUs, and when they needed to be cashed, they would be paid in gold yuan coupons according to the exchange rate at the time.

Li Heng felt that his intelligence was insulted. How could millions of dollars circulating in the black market disappear without a trace overnight?

There is only one explanation for this phenomenon, that is, they are temporarily united and can speak with one voice overnight.

No matter who comes, it is impossible to find out the result.

Li Heng really couldn't understand how Xie Zhiyu achieved such strong cohesion. Was it because he was rich?

After thinking for a long time, Li Heng decided to turn to the third case: the military supplies corruption case.

This case is named above. To put it bluntly, it is an investigation into the pile of junk distributed by the Quartermaster Department to the 1st Temporary Regiment.

Li Heng originally thought that the Temporary Group would cheer for him when he appeared as a bright figure, but reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

No one in the entire Temporary 1st Regiment paid any attention to him. Chief of Staff Zhang Tao said indifferently,

"We don't ask the higher-ups for equipment, and they shouldn't be concerned about the equipment we get!"

How is this possible!

The reason why the higher-ups are investigating these three cases is to find evidence so they can take away half of the 24 armored vehicles.

Li Heng slammed the table and shouted

"Chief of Staff Zhang, you're being typical of a faction leader. You don't think you can hold the position with just one regiment, do you?"

"Of course! General Li, you don't think that the 1st Regiment will get reinforcements when the battle is at its most intense, do you? Mountains will fall if you rely on them, and people will flee if you rely on them. We don't rely on anyone, we only trust the guns in our hands and the armored vehicles under our buttocks. In the future, we will also form a tank battalion, a bomber detachment, and an artillery battalion!"

Li Heng was stunned for a while, then he said again,

"Even if you can get the equipment, the troop establishment still needs approval from higher-ups, right?"

Zhang Tao immediately changed his words and said,

"General Li, I was wrong just now. The 1st Temporary Regiment will form a tank squad, a bomber squad, and an artillery squad. In fact, our tank battalion is not called a tank battalion, but a tank squad, and it will be organized into a subordinate regimental guard company."

Li Heng's three views were completely shattered!

If you only want to set up a class system, you don’t need approval from above!

What if you get dozens of tanks and call it a tank squad?

Get dozens of artillery pieces and call it an artillery squad?

Is this appropriate?

General Li was silent for a moment and then said,

"I know about the weapons and equipment incident. You've been wronged. The Inspectorate is investigating and will definitely give you justice! Chief of Staff Zhang, I hope the 1st Temporary Regiment will consider the overall situation!"

Zhang Tao immediately retorted,

"I hope the higher-ups will consider the overall situation and not cause us any trouble or worry about our weapons and equipment. On the battlefield, our 1st Regiment will never hesitate!"

Zhang Tao didn't wait for Li Heng to respond, he just laughed and said,

"General Li, if there's nothing else, I'll go to training first. The war is imminent, and we must find ways to improve our combat effectiveness!"

After saying that, he patted his butt and left.

Zhang Tao's attitude sends a very clear signal, that is, the Temporary 1st Regiment will probably no longer be under the control of the higher authorities.

The personnel and logistics of the 1st Temporary Regiment are completely independent of the Quartermaster Department. How can you control it?

Before Li Heng could react, he suddenly received bad news that the inspection team was asked to surrender their weapons.

The cause of the incident was very simple. Yuan Shoucheng was very dissatisfied with the lunch provided by the Temporary 1st Regiment. You guys have big fish and meat, but you only give us four dishes and one soup, and it's all green, which makes me lose my appetite.

Since you are not satisfied, we will just take away the food for now. If you want to eat better, you can just pay for it!

The kitchen staff simply stewed a pot of meat, placed it at the gate, and started selling boxed lunches.

Yuan Shoucheng was furious and overturned the kitchen pot, and the two sides started fighting again.

After the fight, Liu Ermaizi found Yuan Shoucheng and handed him a bill.

We rescued more than a dozen of your seriously injured soldiers. You have to pay for the medical expenses. To avoid disputes, you should mortgage your weapons first.

There is a saying among soldiers: Never lay down your gun while you are alive, and never take off your armor until you are dead.

The gun is a soldier's courage and a part of his life. How can he give it up easily?

This time both sides opened fire, and the Greyhound assault vehicle provided emergency support. The 37mm rapid-fire gun only fired two shots before the inspection team raised the white flag.

When Li Heng arrived at the gate, the inspection team was like plucked quails, with drooping heads and no energy at all.

Yuan Shoucheng wanted to complain, but Li Heng glared back at him fiercely.

The supervision team suffered such a big setback. If they don’t make up for it, how can they deter other troops in the future?

Li Heng stared at Liu Ermaizi and shouted,

"You want to disarm the Inspectorate?"

How could Liu Ermaizi not know that he had gotten into a big trouble? His calves were twisting, but this time there was no way out, so he bravely said,

"No, the inspection team owed our regiment medical expenses. I came to ask for it, but Director Yuan turned his nose up and refused to pay. Isn't this just being a rogue? Our regiment is so poor at the moment, and we're desperate to make a penny. Our regimental commander, a dignified lieutenant colonel, has lost all his dignity and begged for alms everywhere to get a little equipment. We were raised by a stepmother and have to rely on ourselves, otherwise we will starve to death. Don't be fooled by the fact that the brothers usually have good meals, but the money is actually borrowed. We owe a large amount of foreign debt to TA Company. In fact, we didn't intend to ask for the medical expenses. We just wanted Director Yuan's attitude, but Director Yuan didn't treat us as human beings. I was angry and asked Director Yuan to put the guns in front of us first. It was just a joke, but Director Yuan fired!"

Liu Ermazi suddenly caught sight of the overturned pot of stewed meat, his eyes rolled, and he immediately turned black into white.

"General Li, please judge for yourself. We prepared four dishes and a soup for them out of respect for our comrades, but Director Yuan wasn't satisfied and insisted on having stewed meat. Well, you're the boss, so we have to satisfy even the most unreasonable requests. We prepared a huge pot of stewed meat, but we don't know what upset Director Yuan. Such good meat, but he kicked it over! The brothers were so angry that they only complained a few times, and he came up and punched and kicked us. We couldn't stand it anymore, so we fought back! The medical expenses came after this incident!"

Yuan Shoucheng's face flushed red, and he immediately retorted,

"What a crap four dishes and one soup! It's nothing but greens and radishes, and the stew you prepared. Why are you charging us for it?"

Liu Ermaizi was happy. As long as you complain about the food, you are in the wrong.

Liu Ermazi said with a smile,

"You can choose not to eat, why are you kicking over our meat! Besides, these four dishes and one soup are indeed completely vegetarian. Even General Li can eat them, so why can't you?"

Yuan Shoucheng glanced at General Li and felt something was wrong.

As Liu Ermaizi said, if the general can eat it but he himself doesn't, it is very clear who is right and who is wrong.

Yuan Shoucheng was not a pushover either, and he immediately said,

"Even though I have committed a thousand faults, not just anyone can humiliate me. Look carefully at my uniform; it's a military police uniform! Anyone who uses force against the military police will be severely punished!"

Liu Ermazi shouted loudly,

"Director Yuan, are you saying that the inspection team beat us, scolded us, and pooped on our heads, and we just have to endure it?"

He said this entirely to all the soldiers of the 1st Temporary Regiment.

There was deep resentment between the two sides, and when the soldiers of the 1st Temporary Regiment heard this, they immediately became excited and shouted and cursed.

General Li drew his pistol and fired two shots into the air, hoping to silence everyone!

Liu Ermaizi's eyes rolled, and he also pulled out his pistol and fired two shots into the sky.

The soldiers of the 1st Temporary Regiment around them followed suit and fired at the sky.

They expressed their dissatisfaction in this way.

General Li stared at Liu Ermaizi with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He has realized that he has lost control of the situation and continuing to stay in the Temporary 1st Regiment will only make him a laughing stock.

There is only one way to deal with the temporary group, and that is to subdue them with martial virtue!

General Li was still lost in thought when suddenly the roar of an engine was heard in the camp, followed by six armored vehicles rushing towards the gate at high speed.

When the leading car was approaching General Li, it did a beautiful drift and braked suddenly two meters away from General Li.

General Li pushed away Yuan Shoucheng who was trying to pull him away, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

After all, he was a general, yet he was treated with such contempt by the Temporary 1st Regiment.

Chief of Staff Zhang Tao jumped down from the armored vehicle, saluted, and asked,

"Why did you shoot?"

Liu Ermazishan said,

"It was General Li who started it, and we don't know why!"

Li Heng glanced coldly at everyone present, then turned and left.

Liu Ermazi wanted to show off in front of Chief of Staff Zhang Tao. He felt that the matter was not big enough, and seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be sighing.

"He surrendered after just two shells, and now he's abandoning his comrades and running away. If this kind of person were on the battlefield, he'd definitely be a coward. Alas, there are still more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers lying in the infirmary. Who are we going to ask for their medical expenses in the future?"

General Li suddenly turned around and asked coldly,

"You just said that a team of people used artillery against the inspectors?"

Liu Ermaizi's paws were numb and he was trembling with fear.

Firing a gun can be considered an accidental discharge, but firing a cannon is of a different nature.

Zhang Tao really wanted to skin this guy alive.

Liu Ermaizi's mind worked quickly, and he came up with a solution in a moment. He said,

"That's right, two bolts of divine thunder suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the heads of the inspection team!"

The implication is that the inspection team will be struck by lightning!

General Li looked at Liu Ermaizi's face carefully and left without looking back!
