Chapter 888 Roosevelt with a headache
Hu Bin originally thought they wanted to recruit 60,000 soldiers, because Li Nian told Hu Bin before that they came here to prepare for expansion. Hu Bin did not recruit soldiers. Don’t say that those of them disagree, even the commander-in-chief, and Commander Peng would not agree. ⊙
Hu Bin can't always be a division commander, because Hu Bin's level is now at the deputy army level. If it is expanded, it can be transferred to the army level at any time. Hu Bin's military achievements and experience are enough. The only thing that is poor is that he has other non-combat experience in terms of qualifications. So Li Nian estimates that those deputy division-level cadres will definitely want Hu Bin to expand his army.
"I said you guys one by one, don't tell me. Commander Peng did not send you a telegram. He asked you to hurry up and train the troops after you get here." Li Nian said with a smile as he looked at them.
"Hehe!" Those people laughed when they heard this.
"Tell me, what do you think? Commander Peng asked you to recruit more troops. How dare you not listen?" Li Nian asked with a smile.
"It's not that I don't listen, we listen, but Brother Bin is the division commander and he is unwilling to recruit soldiers. What can we do, right? If there is anything, Brother Bin, you should take it yourself. We will listen to you anyway!" the monk said with a smile.
"Yes, listen to you, you are the commander!" Ye Xiaohua also nodded with a smile.
"Haha, I'm talking to you, you know that Hu Bin doesn't want to be a military commander, just be a division commander. You still want to hear about Hu Bin. Then you will be deputy division-level cadres one by one!" Li Nian said with a smile.
"What does that matter? Just win a battle, and don't care about anything else." Ye Xianteng also spoke.
"That's right, what's the use of more soldiers? The strength is not the power." Deputy Political Commissar Luo Yuanjian also nodded and said.
"Okay, okay. I thought before that soldiers still need to be recruited. However, this soldier cannot join the main force directly. I originally wanted to recruit 20,000 people, but later I thought that the political commissar was right. You came here, it was arranged by the organization. It is impossible for you to always be deputy division-level cadres. I have a suggestion, can you please listen?" Hu Bin sat there and said to them.
"Teacher, tell me!" Li Nian nodded and said to Hu Bin.
"The army is recruiting 20,000 people this time, and in the future, 20,000 people will be recruited as the reserve force of our main force. This reserve force is for people outside and is also the main force. We told Commander Peng and others that these troops are just supplementary troops, so Commander Peng will not say anything about us.
After the first batch of troops are fully trained and have practical experience, we will immediately recruit the second batch of troops, recruit 40,000 troops, which is called supplementary troops to the outside world, and also require strict training. I estimate that within one year, we will still be able to recruit all the 60,000 troops. After the training is completed, we will hold a meeting to discuss the issue of the new force command system.
Let’s see how it is. Besides, it’s unrealistic to recruit 60,000 people here now. Not only will our troops recruit people, but other troops also recruit people. We can’t compete with brother troops. As for the first batch of 20,000 troops, we will also allocate troops according to our current structure.
Infantry, artillery, armored soldiers, and special forces may not be easy to recruit, but there are still many martial arts practitioners in Hebei. I remember that there are many people practicing martial arts in Cangzhou. You can go there to recruit soldiers when the time comes!" Hu Bin said and looked at Fang Lei. Fang Lei nodded, indicating that he knew. Others also looked at Hu Bin and nodded.
"That's it, are there any other problems?" Hu Bin said to everyone.
"Terminal Commander, I want to ask, there is no problem with recruiting troops, what should we do with weapons and equipment?" Deputy Chief of Staff Chen Hang asked.
"We still have more than 20,000 rifles and 38th hoods. Let the soldiers take them to practice first. You don't have to worry about the rest. I will get it. You can just practice the soldiers well." Hu Bin said.
"You don't have to worry about weapons. This is not something you worry about. Don't worry. I dare to guarantee you this. We can get all the weapons you want. Now it's about recruiting and training. Political Commissar Luo, you are responsible for training. Chief of Staff Ye Xiaohua, you are responsible for! Are there any problems?" Li Nian also said there.
As Hu Bin's partner, he knew that Hu Bin's ability in the arsenal and did not have to worry about his weapons as a political commissar. He just had to worry about other daily necessities and the ideological trends of the soldiers.
After Li Nian finished speaking, he looked at the other people, wanting to know if they have any opinions, but seeing that the others have no opinions.
Li Nian said, "Since you have no objection, then raise your hand to vote." As he said that, he raised his hand, and Hu Bin also raised it. The others watched as both the political commissar and the division commander raised their hands, and immediately raised their hands, and the matter was passed.
"Okay, I just talked about the arrangements for the New Year, and now we will continue to discuss." The political commissar continued, and Hu Bin also began to express his opinions.
Almost half an hour later, the meeting was over, and then they sat in the conference room and chatted.
"Brother Bin, I thought you could fight Yingkou before, why did you stop behind me?" Monk Li Qinwei looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"You think I don't want to fight, he Made, the Japanese are too treacherous and want to retreat, and it won't work. You also know that we are not ready to start a war. If we forcefully fight, it won't work, but then the Japanese will definitely reinforce a large number of troops in the Northeast, which will bring greater trouble to our next attack.
So I thought, forget it, let’s wait and talk about it. The devils in Yingkou and Fengtian are not afraid. Now I am worried about the devils in the Far East, and the new recruits brought by the devils from India.
If this is transferred to the northeast of our country, I don’t know how many people it will harm. Logically, we should do it quickly.” Hu Bin sat there and sighed.
"When will the fight be done?" Ye Xiaohua asked.
"Waiting for the order, waiting for the command of the headquarters, now we need to train the troops well. Once the order arrives, we will go to fight!" Hu Bin replied.
However, at this time, on the United States, Roosevelt also convened the General Staff, the Cabinet, and his own staff to hold a meeting.
Now the Japanese troops have been pushed to the border area of the United States and are still attacking. Japan has obtained a large amount of food in Canada. Therefore, the food does not need to be transported, and the remaining food is transporting weapons, ammunition and other daily necessities, which greatly reduces the logistics pressure of the Japanese troops.
Now many of the soldiers in the Philippines have become veterans, and they are very fierce in wars, no worse than Japanese soldiers. Therefore, in the past year, the casualties of the United States have exceeded 3 million, and they are all young people in their own country.
At this time, the United States recruited more than 6 million troops across the country, of which 4 million troops were guarding the front line, establishing defense lines to block the attacks of the Japanese, and there were 2 million troops arranged to be trained across the country.
"His Excellency President, it's time for us to continue recruiting soldiers. The casualties on our front line are too great. Japan is also resting. I guess they are tired of fighting, and it will be difficult for us to hold on to their next attack." Marshall sat there and said to Roosevelt.
"I know that the parliament will discuss this issue tomorrow, and I think the parliament will pass it. Everyone understands that if we cannot stop the invasion of Japan, all of us in the United States will be in trouble. We don't know where to escape.
The Soviet Union is unsafe. China, perhaps China is still a little safer now, but once the Soviet Union is defeated, China will no longer be safe. At that time, China will face attacks from Germany and Japan, which is even more unsafe." Roosevelt rubbed his temples and said.
"Is China unwilling to cooperate fully with us now?" Marshall asked.
"They disagree. Chongqing now wants to regain their previous capital Nanjing. After fighting Nanjing, they will cultivate their children and rest. In Yan'an, I guess they will definitely think of ways to regain Northeast China and Mongolia next year! Mongolia, once Japan and the Soviet Union fight, Chinese troops will drive in!" Roosevelt said.
Marshall heard it and sighed.
Originally, he was able to reach this agreement last time he visited China, and China also hoped to reach an agreement with him, but because of his hesitation and distrust, this opportunity was missed in vain.
"I'm sorry, I've done this matter, and I didn't expect it to be like this." Marshall apologized to Roosevelt.
"It's not your fault. We didn't believe it at the beginning. Who knows how China fought? A country that looks like apart can actually make Japan like this.
Now Japan doesn't dare to place so many troops on its homeland, just because it's because China's air force will one day bomb Tokyo!" Roosevelt couldn't figure it out, and none of the others could figure it out. They couldn't analyze any correct results in the matter on China.
"Report, General Stilwell is back and has just arrived at the White House." At this time, a secretary pushed open the door and spoke.
"Okay, please invite him in. He has made great contributions to our United States in China!" Roosevelt said happily when he heard this.
"Let General Stilwell talk about China later, so that we can also understand China!" A cabinet man looked at Roosevelt and said.
"Well, look at General Stilwell's mental state. If there is no problem, I agree to let him tell us. I also want to know China better." Roosevelt nodded and agreed to the cabinet staff's suggestion.
