    The meeting was still going on, and what Xu Hu said also caused Li Guoyao to think deeply. Although it was not pleasant to hear, it was true.

    ¡°The children of any family are all raised by their mothers. Whether they are poor or rich, they are the treasures of their parents. No one wants their children to be beaten to death just after joining the army.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao nodded immediately and said: "Well, what Lao Xu said makes sense, I will think about it carefully!"

    Recruiting soldiers is certainly important, but the issue that Li Guoyao is most concerned about right now is the establishment of the army, because there is a serious conflict between the establishment of the Military Commission and the army he envisioned.

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "This is what I think about the appointment of personnel in the army. The Temporary Seventh Division is the core force of our army. Its establishment cannot be organized in accordance with the requirements of the Military Commission. The Temporary Seventh Division will still have three jurisdictions as before.  Each brigade has three integrated regiments of 2,500 people, but except for the necessary guard troops, the combat units at the brigade level are not directly under the jurisdiction of technical arms."

    "In addition, in addition to the three reorganized brigades, the 7th Temporary Division also has four regiments of directly affiliated troops, namely cavalry, artillery, engineers and guard troops. Among them, the engineering regiment must also serve as the logistics and transportation regiment!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, everyone was stunned. According to the organization of the army, the total strength of the 7th Temporary Division alone may exceed the organization of the entire 61st Army.

    "Military, if we do this, will the higher-ups blame us? After all, based on this calculation, the full strength of the Seventh Division is almost reaching 28,000 men." Xu Hu said.

    "It doesn't matter, let's just follow this plan. As for the issue of full quota, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, don't even think about filling the quota in the short term!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "The Military Commission also gave us the designation of a new 100th Brigade. This brigade has two regiments, plus some technical arms, with a full strength of 6,400 soldiers. I plan to expand this brigade into three regiments.  It is a brigade, but it does not have technical arms and serves as a unit directly under the military headquarters!"

    "In addition, the military headquarters also has one regiment each of cavalry, artillery, air defense, engineering, and baggage troops under its direct jurisdiction, plus a special operations team."

    Hearing Li Guoyao's arrangements for the formation of the troops, everyone took a breath of cold air. Everyone knew that Li Guoyao was a commander who did not follow common sense and did not care much about the orders of his superiors.

    But no one expected that he would be so bold. You must know that the 61st Army organized by the Military Commission only had one division and one brigade, which totaled less than 20,000 people.

    "And Li Guoyao forcibly expanded the division and brigade to 40,000 people according to his own ideas, and it seems that even 40,000 people may not be able to fill the capacity. Most people really don't dare to do this.

    Firstly, it is a serious crime to expand the troops privately. Secondly, the establishment of the Military Commission is not just some insignificant numbers, but has a close relationship with money and food.

    How many preparations for a army committee will give a troops, so it will be unnecessary according to this strict distribution of grain and crickets.

    Secondly, as the National Government¡¯s finances are unable to make ends meet, many front-line troops can only receive a small amount of living expenses. Under such circumstances, most people will think of eating empty pay instead of privately expanding the troops.

    After all, the expansion of the army will require a lot of money and food. If the higher-ups don't provide it, the general will have to pay for it himself.

    But this is not ten people or eight people, but a full 20,000 more people. Based on the salary of ordinary soldiers in the national army, not counting the consumption of rice, flour, grain and oil in one month, the salary alone will cost more than 100,000 yuan, which is simply not possible for ordinary people.  Just can't bear it.

    It¡¯s just that no one has ever thought that there is no way Li Guoyao can do this. After all, that bullshit mission is there, and there are not enough soldiers to complete the mission, so no matter what the superiors think, he has to do it.

    Of course, the main reason why Li Guoyao dared to do this was because he had money. In addition to the dozens of tons of gold, Li Guoyao had successively destroyed multiple logistics bases of the Japanese army during this period and seized a large amount of materials.  Finance is valuable.

    In addition, after every war, they will seize a large number of flashy things, such as various large-caliber artillery. If the caliber is too large and the mass is too heavy, it will be useless to Li Guoyao's troops and will be of no use.

    There are also Japanese maps, radio stations, military uniforms, shoes and even the corpses of Japanese soldiers that can be sold for money. Many national soldiers are eager to buy anything related to the Japanese army.

    As long as these things are available, people will come to buy them. Of course, after the national army buys these things, they will arrange a "battle" at will, and then report their victory to their superiors and apply forIncentive.

    Although your superiors may not necessarily approve of it, you can still use this method to gain a familiar face, especially for those motley crews who often use this method to keep their unit numbers.

    Li Guoyao could support 20,000 people just from this income alone.

    "Military seat, what are your arrangements for personnel appointments in the army?" Xu Hu asked immediately.

    "Same as usual!"

    "Still as usual?"

    "Yes, I will serve as the temporary commander of the Seventh Division. Lao Xu, you will also serve as the new 100th Brigade. From now on, Lao Wang will be responsible for the logistics of the entire army. Lao Ma will be responsible for setting up the staff of our army and coordinating combat arrangements and other matters!"

    Then Li Guoyao glanced across everyone's faces one by one, and then said in a solemn tone: "We are all brothers. If you have anything to say, I, Li Guoyao, will not hide it. I know that many people want to get promoted and get rich.  But there are some things I still want to make clear to you."

    "The Seventh Division is my starting unit, Li Guoyao. I worked hard to pull it up, so I will not hand it over to anyone for the time being. Even the order of the Military Commission will not do it. I must ensure absolute control of the unit.  right."

    "Secondly, everyone was promoted by me, Li Guoyao. Before becoming division commander, brigade commander and regiment commander, most of them were grassroots officers, and some of them have not even received systematic military education."

    "Although I have fought a few battles and achieved some achievements, I am definitely not qualified for a higher position. I am really worried about appointing you as a division commander rashly. I am not only responsible for you personally.  , you have to be responsible for your families, and in addition, you have to be responsible for those frontline soldiers, please understand!"

    Hearing what Li Guoyao said, everyone was a little disappointed, but they also understood him.

    After all, the 61st Army only has one division and one brigade that can really fight. If Li Guoyao really gives up the command at the division level, then if the new division commander has any bad intentions, Li Guoyao really  It was ignored.

    Of course, this is also because the 61st Army does not essentially belong to the Central Army, but to a warlord force such as the Northeast Army, so it has such a sectarian concept.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao made it very clear to everyone that he is not afraid of these people's mischief. No one here has the courage.

    In fact, there is one thing that Li Guoyao did not say, that is, he had some ideas after receiving the telegram from the Military Commission, and it seemed that the higher-ups were intending to continuously elevate his rank.

    However, while raising his rank, there were not many practical benefits. For example, the designation of the 61st Army, you must know that when the Jinsui Army was under the jurisdiction of one division and two brigades, when it was later reorganized, it was under the jurisdiction of  Two divisions.

    But now, when it comes to Li Guoyao, he only has one division and one brigade, and the total army only has 19,000 people.

    It is conceivable that once Li Guoyao really feels at ease as his lieutenant general, he will soon lose control of the troops, because the real power lies in that division and brigade.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao realized that the Military Commission was probably interested in this unit under his command and wanted to eat up the 7th Division.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
