    "Zi Ren!" Yu Liangzhen frowned, "This is different from what you said originally."

    In Changsha, Zhong Yi drew a big picture for Yu Liangzhen and proposed a two-step plan. He would first spend about a year building the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps into a model force, and then use this model force as a template to transform Zhejiang.  The troops from various counties under the Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps were eventually built into a battle-worthy division.

    But now, Zhong Yi suddenly changed his mind and said that he no longer wanted the civilian armed forces in Yinjiang, but wanted to directly recruit troops to build the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps into a regular army!

    It is of course great to be able to directly build the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps into a regular army, and Yu Liangzhen welcomes it with both hands, but building a regular army is not just about talking, but requires a huge investment of real money!  Anyway, Yu Liangzhen will never be able to come up with this money, and Zhong Yi may not be able to come up with it either.

    Zhong Yi said: "Commander-in-Chief, it was because I lacked understanding of the civil self-defense armed forces in Zhejiang Province, especially Yinjiang, that's why I thought that way. But now, I have become familiar with the four most typical civil self-defense armed forces in Yinjiang."  After all-round contact, we found that our original idea may not work.¡±

    Yu Liangzhen said: "You mean these civilian self-defense forces are not useful?"

    "To say they are not useful is to flatter them." Zhong Yi nodded, "Let's talk about the personnel first, the old ones, the young ones, and the number of young and middle-aged people is very small; let's talk about the equipment, the number of modern rifles like those made in Hanyang is very small, and the number of old people is very small.  The number of sleeves is not large, most of them are shotguns and firecrackers, and there are even a considerable number of broadswords and spears.¡±

    Xuan Tiewu said: "Isn't this the case with civilian armed forces? Do you still expect them to be equipped with all rifles?"

    Zhong Yi said: "But with such weapons and equipment, it is impossible to fight a tough battle with the Japanese, so we have to spend a lot of money to purchase weapons and equipment to arm them! The cost will probably not be less than reorganizing a regular army."

    After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "This is not the worst. The worst thing is that these civil self-defense forces are firmly in the hands of the clan leaders, town mayors and even the squires. And these squire clan leaders  Their national concept is very weak, they only want to defend their hometown, but they have never thought about defending the country."

    Yu Liangzhen said: "Then what do you mean by trying it just now?"

    Zhong Yi said: "Try what I just said, which is to bypass those squire and clan leaders, go directly to the villages to recruit militiamen, then form militia squads in each town or township, form militia brigades in each county, and finally organize the county brigades in each county  Together they form the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps."

    "Zhong Yi's move is to imitate our party's practice in the base areas behind enemy lines.

    But to be honest, without the backing of a strict party organization and strong organizational mobilization capabilities, it is difficult for this move to work, so Zhong Yi only said it was a try, because he knew that it was basically impossible to do it.

    Yu Liangzhen shook his head after hearing this: "This method will definitely not work."

    "Then there is no other way." Zhong Yi said, "Commander-in-Chief, just organize and train the regular army."

    "Why don't I want to train a regular army?" Yu Liangzhen said with a wry smile, "The question is, where does the money come from?"

    Zhong Yi said: "There are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as the goal is determined, we can always find a way to solve it."

    Yu Liangzhen was moved when he heard this and asked: "Zi Ren, honestly speaking, how much money did you get from this cleaning operation?"

    "Not much." Zhong Yi replied, "Including the properties that have not been disposed of, the total is about two million French currency."

    "Two million French currency! That's a lot." Yu Liangzhen exclaimed, "But if you want to build a division-level organization, the equipment cost alone is far from enough, let alone military pay."

    A few years ago, the equipment cost of a division of the Central Army was approximately 2 million French currency, and the military salary was approximately 400,000 French currency per month. But now, with the rapid depreciation of legal currency, the equipment cost of a division has risen to 5 million.  Above, military pay has not increased, but it still costs nearly five million French currency a year.

    Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "If you can't train a division at once, then you should train a regiment first."

    ¡°After a slight pause, Zhong Yi continued: ¡°At this stage, we will first complete the downsizing of the Yinjiang Garrison Corps. When the funds are in place, we will use the Yinjiang Garrison Corps as the backbone to expand it into the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps.¡±

    "This is a good idea." After Yu Liangzhen finished speaking, he said to Xuan Tiewu, "Tiewu, just listen to Ziren and shrink the Yinjiang garrison division into the Yinjiang garrison regiment. There are only more than two thousand left.  Man, what¡¯s the point of keeping a division number? There¡¯s no need to assign one.Now that we are here, let Ziren serve as the head of the Yinjiang Guard Corps.  "

    Xuan Tiewu smiled bitterly and said: "Commander-in-Chief, you have said so, what else do I have to say."

    "Then it's settled." Yu Liangzhen slapped his thigh and said to Zhong Yi, "Zi Ren, I will leave the Yinjiang Guard Corps to you, but you also know what my situation is now, so there are still funds.  Don't count on me as a junior officer, you can figure it out on your own, I'll give you full authority!"

    Zhong Yixin said, this is what I am waiting for.

    At that moment Zhong Yi said: "Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."

    Even though the business talk was over here, Yu Liangzhen smiled and said: "Zi Ren, I heard that you are still alone now? Do you want me to introduce you to a girl?"

    "There's no need for this." Zhong Yi declined politely, "I already have a fianc¨¦e."

    On the surface, Zhong Yi is calm, but deep down he is already wary.

    Zhong Yi knew very well that Yu Liangzhen would never raise this issue for no reason. If he guessed correctly, this matter should have been instructed by Principal Chang, and Dai Li, the director of the Military Command Bureau, must also be involved. In other words, Yu Liangzhen wanted to introduce him to  This girl of his is probably an informant of the Military Command Bureau, specially monitoring him.

    This is a routine operation in both the military and political circles of the Kuomintang.

    "Bullshit, how can I not know that you have a fianc¨¦e?" Yu Liangzhen said, "But isn't your fianc¨¦e around? It's not good for your physical and mental health, you know? You have to have a woman to take care of your life. Only by taking care of your personal life  Only when your life is settled can you focus on your work, you know?"

    "Commander-in-Chief, I really don't need it." Zhong Yi declined politely, "My father-in-law has sent a telegram and will bring my fianc¨¦e to Yinjiang soon. Manyi and I are getting married."

    "That's it." Yu Liangzhen didn't insist too much, nodded and said, "Forget it."

    After a pause, Yu Liangzhen said sincerely: "Zi Ren, I leave all the affairs of the Eastern Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps to you."
