The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 474 Headquarters’ response

Author: Star Traveler

Li Yunlong laughed when he heard Chu Yunfei's words. He completely understood Chu Yunfei's purpose of coming this time. He was the lobbyist sent by Bald Jiang, who wanted him to rebel against the Eighth Route Army and join the Nationalist Army.

Although his military rank is not high, he still holds a hundred thousand troops in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of these one hundred thousand troops ranks high among the Eighth Route Army units.

This does not include the more than 100,000 troops brought to the northeast by Ding Wei and Kong Jie. If all are taken into account, Li Yunlong can influence more than 200,000 troops.

You must know that the current strength of the Eighth Route Army has just reached about one million, and Li Yunlong's troops alone account for more than 200,000 troops, accounting for one-fifth of the total strength of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, with Li Yunlong's military rank, he would not be able to get into the eyes of Bald Jiang. With such a large number of troops, no one can ignore him.

Even the Eighth Route Army headquarters was not completely reassured about Li Yunlong, otherwise it would not have divided Li Yunlong's troops into two before, thus reducing the number of troops Li Yunlong could command by half.

Although there are various reasons, the most direct reason is that the strength of Li Yunlong's troops has developed too fast.

As a leader within an organization, it is impossible to let the development of any unit exceed one's control, otherwise any mistakes will lead to huge consequences.

Li Yunlong also understood this behavior, so he did not have any dissatisfaction with the previous division of the army into two, and happily agreed.

Seeing that Li Yunlong just smiled at himself after reading the letter without any reply, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Thinking that these conditions could not satisfy Li Yunlong's appetite, he patted the table gently with his hand and said:

"Brother Yunlong, with the troops you command now, although the position of the military commander is a bit low, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the chairman of the committee also has his own considerations and needs to take care of the emotions of other generals. It's impossible, right?

Please give me your military rank, you have been promoted too high."

As he spoke, Chu Yunfei looked at Li Yunlong's expression again, and seeing no change, he said again: "If you are not satisfied with the current conditions, you can tell me if you have other requests. Although Chu has a humble official position, as a member of the Chiang Committee,

If you are a long-term student, you can still help Brother Yunlong as a lobbyist. Although there is no guarantee that all the conditions proposed by Brother Yunlong will be met, as long as it is not too excessive, it is not a big problem."

Chu Yunfei is now starting to feel a little jealous of Li Yunlong. After all, as a direct descendant of Huangpu, even he himself is not as valued by the Chairman as Li Yunlong.

You must know that he has a serious academic background, while Li Yunlong is just a mud-legged person. To put it bluntly, if it hadn't been for the war, people like Li Yunlong might have been digging in the soil all their lives and never have a chance to succeed.

And he himself is destined to rise to the top, and it will only be a matter of time before he takes on an important position.

Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Li Yunlong's expression changed. It seemed that Bald Jiang was really willing to win over him. The position of a military commander was just to test the waters. If he was not satisfied, he could make further demands.

So Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I, Li Yun, come from a humble background. How can Long Hede be so valued by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek?"

"Brother Yunlong, you can't say that. Although you are not from a very good background, you are not without merits. When it comes to leading troops and fighting in wars, even I, a person with a professional background, can't match you. Chairman Chiang can value you, so naturally you have

It makes sense." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Chu Yunfei quickly waved his hand and said.

"Brother Yunlong, look at this..." Chu Yunfei pointed at the letter in Li Yunlong's hand and said.

Li Yunlong understood what he meant, which was to ask him whether he agreed with the change of government, but he couldn't say it clearly, so Chu Yunfei could only speak vaguely.

"Brother Chu, I am dissatisfied with you. I am not very satisfied with the current situation. You said that I need soldiers in my hands and territory in my hands, but the treatment given to me by the superiors is still so low. Not to mention the generous salary of high-ranking officials.

Not even a girl, you know I'm quite old, if I were placed in the countryside, even the children would know how to do it."

In order to pretend to be like Li Yunlong, he squeezed out a few tears. He took Chu Yunfei's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "But the organization won't even solve my personal problems. If Chairman Chiang really

As mentioned in the letter, arrange some beauties for me, Li Yunlong, to be my wives. I will definitely seriously consider the matter of changing the government. And there is the official position... You see, although my current position is not high, I have a lot of money in my hands.

Our military strength is more than 200,000 anyway. Isn’t the position of the army commander a bit low? Brother Yunfei, can you help me ask Chairman Chiang to raise his rank?"

Chu Yunfei was very disgusted with Li Yunlong wiping his nose with his sleeve, but he had no choice but to say anything to Li Yunlong now.

I could only force myself to calm down, for fear of having an attack, and give Li Yunlong a try. After hearing Li Yunlong's words, although I was mentally prepared for Li Yunlong's promise to change his mind, I was still a little overjoyed.

After all, his only mission this time was to persuade Li Yunlong to join the national army.

So Chu Yunfei said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Yunlong, based on our relationship, I will definitely agree to this small favor. Just wait here for my good news."

"If nothing else happens, the results will come out in a few days. By then, we will be brothers in the same camp, so we need to get closer and closer."

"Definitely, definitely, then I, Li Yunlong, will wait here for the good news from Brother Chu." Li Yunlong said, cupping his hands.

Seeing Li Yunlong's promise, Chu Yunfei didn't stay here any longer. After saying a few polite words to Li Yunlong, he stood up and left.

After all, after the matter was done, he still had to report to his superiors. As for the conditions proposed by Li Yunlong, he thought it shouldn't be a problem. The matter of a beautiful wife was easy to solve, but the job was a bit difficult.

After all, the national army has millions of troops and many excellent generals. There will definitely be many people who are dissatisfied with the position given to Li Yunlong, but this kind of thing is not something he can decide.

After Chu Yunfei left, before Li Yunlong could sit down and take a rest, Zhao Gang walked in from outside.

"Old Li, I heard that Chu Yunfei came over. What does he want from you?" Zhao Gang came in and saw no one in the room, so he asked Li Yunlong.

After all, we are now in an important period of negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and any slight disturbance can affect the outcome of the negotiations. So when he learned that Chu Yunfei came to find Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang immediately became nervous, fearing that Li Yunlong would not be able to resist the temptation and fall into Chu Yunfei's trap.

It was a treacherous plot, so he hurried over in a hurry.

After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong handed the letter that Chu Yunfei had given him directly to Zhao Gang.

Anyway, he was not prepared to agree to this matter. Li Yunlong was not prepared to accept the sugar-coated bullets given by Bald Jiang.

After all, as someone who has experienced this, Li Yunlong knows that in the ensuing dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the national army will definitely not win.

Moreover, Li Yunlong did not believe in Jiang Baldy's character. After all, compared to the officers from Huangpu, Li Yunlong was an outsider. The reason why Jiang Baldy promised many benefits to win over him was just to divide the forces of the Eighth Route Army units. Basically,

It is impossible to regard Li Yunlong's troops as direct descendants.

Zhao Gang was confused by the letter in Li Yunlong's hand. Although he didn't understand what it was, he still read it intently.

"Old Li, you..., did you agree?" Zhao Gang asked Li Yunlong after reading the letter.

Although he had been with Li Yunlong for such a long time, he was not sure whether Li Yunlong could resist such a big temptation.

After all, the conditions offered by Chairman Liang for the Eighth Route Army Headquarters were very tempting, especially for someone like Li Yunlong who was in his thirties and didn't even have a wife.

As a man, Zhao Gang also knows that the saying that a hero is saddened by a beauty is not an empty statement.

Many celebrities in history have fallen for women, and he was not sure that Li Yunlong could remain unaffected.

But the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Li Yunlong were particularly important to the Eighth Route Army, especially at such a critical moment. Any accident would be a catastrophic problem for the organization.

"What do you think, if I had such thoughts, could I still give you the letter?" Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Zhao Gang angrily and said.

"This... I'm a little anxious. I'm sorry, Lao Li, but I am too..." Zhao Gang said embarrassedly.

He did not ignore these details on purpose, but the issue was too important. After all, Li Yunlong held one-fifth of the entire Eighth Route Army. Although Ding Wei and Kong Jie took away half of the troops to the northeast, the lower-level commanders within the army

All officials were trained by Li Yunlong.

Therefore, if Li Yunlong had other ideas, it would have disastrous consequences for the organization.

"Okay, I know you are confused if you care. Don't worry, you don't understand me yet. I am sincere to the organization and there is no way I will be moved by Bald Jiang's sugar-coated bullets." Li Yunlong vowed.

"I feel relieved now. What about this letter?" Zhao Gang patted his heart and pointed at the letter in his hand and said to Li Yunlong.

"Leave it to the headquarters. If the organization is worried, I can put down my military power and report to the headquarters." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

He didn't know whether the heads of the headquarters completely trusted him. After all, this was not a small problem.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang was a little at a loss. After all, if this matter was reported to the headquarters, then regardless of whether Li Yunlong had other thoughts, the headquarters would not be able to put Li Yunlong in such an important position.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even if Li Yunlong has no evil intentions, the headquarters will temporarily take away Li Yunlong's command of the troops.

That's why Zhao was so entangled just now. After all, he and Li Yunlong have been together for so long, and they still have feelings. He believes in Li Yunlong, but it doesn't mean that other people in the organization also believe in Li Yunlong.

But if the letter is not handed in, there will be trouble in the future when the organization learns about it.

"Old Zhao, just do as I say and deliver the letter to the headquarters. As for how to deal with it, I can't accept it." Li Yunlong said nonchalantly.

Anyway, there won't be any war during this period. Even if you are temporarily transferred from your post by the headquarters, it won't matter. You can just stop and rest.

Seeing that Li Yunlong was in a good mood and was not affected by this incident, Zhao Gang comforted Li Yunlong a few words before walking out of the command room and dispatching personnel to deliver the letter to the headquarters.

When the headquarters received the letter from Zhao Gang, they were extremely nervous. After all, this was not a small matter, as it related to one-fifth of the troops.

So the head of the headquarters quickly called together leaders at all levels for a meeting to discuss how to deal with Li Yunlong's matter.

After all, Li Yunlong's troops are different from other troops. The expansion and development of Li Yunlong's troops did not receive support from the headquarters. Everything was solved by Li Yunlong alone.

Even the weapons and equipment for the expansion of the army were captured by him, so the headquarters did not have much control over Li Yunlong's department.

All lower-level commanders were trained and appointed by Li Yunlong himself, and the greatest support provided by the headquarters was to merge Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong's departments together.

But before the merger, the strength of Li Yunlong's army had already developed, so even after the merger, Li Yunlong had complete control over the appointment of most officers in the army.

Most of the officers appointed during the expansion of the army were also Li Yunlong's old troops. After all, compared to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong was forward-looking enough to prepare for the expansion of the army early.

We have consciously cultivated talents in this field in advance, and the National Defense Military Academy founded by Li Yunlong has also developed well over the past year. The first batch of colleges have also been reused after completing their studies.

They were assigned to serve as officers at all levels in the army. Even the middle-level officers of the army brought to the Northeast by Ding Wei Kongjie were mostly from the National Defense Military Academy.

As a military academy, the National Defense Military Academy founded by Li Yunlong is unique among all military training courses of the Eighth Route Army, ranking among the top three in terms of teaching strength.

All of this is caused by Li Yunlong's forward vision.

The National Defense Military Academy has not stood still and is still developing. It not only has regular students, but also has crash training courses. In order to solve the shortage of low-level officers caused by the large-scale expansion of the army, Li Yunlong specially opened a three-year training course in the school.

A three-month training course to prepare the lowest-level officers for the army.

All squad leaders and company commander-level officers in the army must take turns attending training courses for three months of training.

After passing the assessment, you can return to the original army and continue to serve as a commander. Otherwise, you can only stay in school and continue studying, or resign from your original position and become a low-level soldier.

Because Li Yunlong knew that the most important reason why the German army was rampant in Europe was the quality of the overall officers, especially the lower-level officers. Sometimes knowledge is also an invisible combat power.

In the past, there was no choice but to make do, but now it is different. As long as conditions permit, Li Yunlong wants all officers in the army, as long as they are commanders leading troops, regardless of their official position, to pass through the military academy.
