Rise From Eight Hundred

"Do you know you're wrong?" General Wu glanced at Tang Dao, who was sincerely submissive, and stopped his pretentious steps.

He sat down at the table with a big horse and a golden sword, took a sip of the tea that was boiling hot before and finally cooled down, "Tell me, what gift did you send me? I want to see if I'm satisfied."

"Well, this is not a personal gift from Tang Dao, but from my Four-Line Regiment. Let Chief of Staff Zhuang tell you!" Tang Dao was quick to pass the buck.

"Your regiment sent it? Then this gift is not small!" Comrade Lao Wu's face was a little surprised.

Originally, he was just making fun of Tang Dao. With Tang Dao's stingy nature, what gift could he send? Lao Wu just couldn't stand Tang Dao's arrogance. Tang Dao's analysis just now, even the strategy of the wise man's "Attack the North and Defend the South" was similar. If it's not difficult for Tang Dao, how can he reflect his majesty as a general?

Unexpectedly, Tang Dao actually prepared a gift for him, and it was sent by the entire regiment. Could it be that there was really a big gift?

"Ahem, Commander Wu, the Military and Political Department gave me two deputy commander positions in the Sihang Regiment. Deputy Battalion Commander Lei served as the first deputy commander, and Deputy Battalion Commander Guo wanted to go to the front line, so he served as the commander of the second battalion. Therefore, the position of the second deputy commander has been vacant. The result of our discussion in the regiment is to ask Commander Wu to send a strong soldier to take the position. Commander Guo also called to agree with our idea." Zhuang Shisan, who was blamed by Tang Dao, could only bite the bullet and say.

"What the hell?" Comrade Lao Wu's eyes suddenly froze.

"You Tang Dao, you are really a hungry wolf who eats meat and doesn't spit out bones!" Comrade Lao Wu was so angry that he slapped the table and pointed at Tang Dao's nose and scolded.

"Good fellow, I'm still waiting for your big gift! In the end, Teliang actually wants to poach my people. This is the first time I've seen you give gifts like this."

Facing the current situation where Tang Dao is destined to be scolded but not beaten to death, Zhuang Shisan and Lei Xiong tacitly took a step back and lowered their heads, pretending that they didn't see anything.

It can't be blamed on the brothers for being disloyal. It's really that the gift you gave is too weird. Brothers are not so stubborn and can't be beaten with you. Both of them wisely refused.

"Sir, don't be angry, don't be angry!" Tang Dao smiled. "You can't say that I poached your people. You see, this is also to leave a position for the meritorious brothers to be promoted! Besides, including me, who can't be your soldier, even if the number is different."

"What's the matter? My infantry army is not as big as your small broken regiment! My soldiers still need to find a position here." It would be fine if Tang Dao didn't say this. When he said this, Lao Wu became more excited.

His face was red and his neck was thick, like a cockfighting.

"Your temple is big, but it can't withstand the bloody battles of the brothers, and there are too many meritorious deeds!" Tang Dao continued to smile. "If you don't want it, to calm down, then I'll let Lao Guo take this position. Just pretend I didn't say anything about this, okay?"

"No, it's your fault that you have bad intentions. You talk beautifully, but you're actually thinking about my few soldiers." Lao Wu continued to blow his beard and glare.

"Then drink a few sips of water to calm down?"

"No!"

"Eat first?"

"I'm full of anger!"

"What? Erya, go get the wild boar legs that the kitchen team has been pickling, and let the officer's orderly take them away later." Tang Dao was also very straightforward, turning his head and calling Erya outside the house.

"What are you doing? You want to kick me out right now!" Comrade Lao Wu was even more unhappy when he heard this, and sat down with a slump: "Hey! I'm not leaving yet, I haven't even had the Jiangnan side dishes prepared by Tan Tai's niece!"

"Ahem!" Lei Xiong and Zhuang Shisan's faces turned red, and one of them couldn't help coughing.

They could see that this big guy didn't want this position, but Tang Dao said it so bluntly, which made the big guy lose face!

He is an infantry army, but he has to stuff people into the Four-Line Regiment to get promoted. If it were the army commander, wouldn't he have to express his dissatisfaction in public?

He had to let Tang Dao beg, beg twice, and pave enough steps, then he would agree.

Who knew that Tang Dao was a rolling knife, and he withdrew before he even finished paving one step.

This is good, forcing the big guy to wipe off his face and rely on himself.

However, this also shows one thing, this army commander really didn't treat Tang Dao as an outsider. If it was someone else, I'm afraid Tang Dao's move would offend him to death, so why would he stay and not leave?

Gu Yan

Comrade Lao Wu has been through all kinds of storms to become the lieutenant general commander, so what's the big deal about stepping on the empty step? His expression remained unchanged, "Don't provoke me, I won't be fooled by your kid.

I know Guo Shouzhi, if he wants to be a front-line officer, let him be, don't put him under you and Lei Xiong as a decoration. The second deputy commander position of your regiment is indeed a hot potato. The other officers are too inexperienced. It is not good for unity to promote them rashly. If you let your 43rd Army Headquarters support it, Brother Guo will not have enough manpower. If the Military and Political Department sends people to take it for nothing, it will be even more unprofitable. In the end, your kid really has to rely on me."

See, what does it mean to turn the hand to the clouds and turn the hand to the rain? They have the final say on everything, whether black or white. The two lieutenant colonels looked at each other and said they had learned something.

"Does that mean you agree?" Tang Dao asked with a smile.

"Hey! Who made you the son-in-law of Lao Tantai? As an uncle, I am really..." Comrade Lao Wu sighed.

Tang Dao's eyes twitched slightly.

Is this the legendary "one sits at home and the pot falls from the sky"? Is Uncle Tan Tai okay now?

"Tell me! Who do you like?" Comrade Lao Wu asked casually. "However, don't even think about touching my guard company and the guard company commanders of the two divisions. We are about to go to war with the Japanese, and I don't want to easily give my head to the Japanese as a trophy."

"Gong Shaoxun!"

"I knew that your kid had been planning for a long time." Comrade Lao Wu was angry for a moment. "If you don't do the guard company, you will go after my cavalry battalion commander, right?"

"Major Gong has been promoted to lieutenant colonel, but he is a cavalryman. It would be a waste of talent for him to serve as the deputy commander of an ordinary infantry regiment. However, my Sixing Regiment has newly established a cavalry company. He can continue to play his specialty, or wait for two years, when you establish a cavalry regiment, and then transfer him back to serve as the commander." Tang Dao's reason is very sufficient.

It was so strong that people could not refute it, because what he said was not only the truth, but even General Wu thought so, so Gong Shaoxun's position had not been moved.

"Tsk! Your cavalry company is still the cavalry platoon given by me for show! If you want to become a real cavalry company, how long will it take!" General Wu sneered with a slight twitch of his mouth.

"Give me a year, 200 cavalry!" Tang Dao was unmoved and stretched out a finger.

The strong self-confidence made Old Wu, who sneered at him, feel that he could do it, even though Tang Dao was now poor and the current financial resources of the Four Lines Corps could not afford the cavalry known as the gold-eating beast.

But so far, almost everything Tang Dao said has come true.

"It doesn't matter whether I come back or not, what matters is that the soldiers of my 67th Army can become real soldiers who defend their country." General Wu, who pondered for a while, nodded. "Then give your kid a face and let Gong Shaoxun be your second deputy regiment commander."

"Thank you, sir!" Tang Dao immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Hehe! Your kid is really good at poaching people. Gong Shaoxun came to you, which saved your kid a lot of trouble." Comrade Lao Wu should have solved a problem that was hanging in his heart. His tone was much more relaxed. He glanced at Tang Dao and said, "Do you know what gift I gave you this time?"

"What?" Tang Dao was stunned.

"Take it and see for yourself!" Comrade Lao Wu fumbled out a wrinkled receipt from his jacket pocket. "So that your kid can know what is a gift and what is generous! Learn from me in the future."

Tang Dao looked at the receipt in his hand and felt that his eyes were about to be blinded.

"We have received 1.5 million US dollars in cash from the owner of the goods. The designated arms will be shipped to China in April 1937. With this document and designated personnel, it will be received by Habro Company!" Zhuang Shisan, who came over curiously, whispered.

Lei Xiong and Zhuang Shisan were completely dumbfounded.

If Comrade Lao Wu was not joking, this gift was indeed a bit big.

It was so big that it was unbelievable.

I didn't see that even Commander Tang, who could argue with a lieutenant general for half a day, was stunned.

1.5 million US dollars, converted at the current exchange rate, is 5 million silver dollars. With that purchasing power, it is enough to buy a squadron of fighter planes!
