Chapter 277 A gift from Commander Yan!
The organization of the Huben Army shocked Sun Chu, Brigade Commander Chen, Kong Jie and others. At this moment, Sun Chu, Brigade Commander Chen, Kong Jie and others were looking at Zhou Weimin in shock.
Sun Chu, Brigade Commander Chen, Kong Jie and others really did not expect that Zhou Weimin had such an idea.
Of course, Sun Chu, Brigade Commander Chen, Kong Jie and others did not expect that there would be such an organization within the Huben Army?
The only two people who knew about this matter and were not from the Tiger Guards were Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao.
Because when Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were pulling weapons in Chidong County, Xu Hu told Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao the organization of the Huben Army.
"Wei Min, your Tiger Guards are organized like this..." Before Sun Chu could finish his words, Zhou Wei Min interrupted, "Uncle Sun."
"Are you trying to say that our Tiger Guards are overstaffed? I'm telling you, our Tiger Guards are not."
"Uncle Sun, take a look at the Central Army's reinforced divisions. Aren't they 26,000 to 27,000 strong?"
"A single division of our Tiger Guards only has 210,000 or 220,000 men. How can this be considered overstrength?"
Since Zhou Weimin dared to say it, he must have his own reasons. Even if the reason is not very reasonable, it is still a reason.
"Wei Min, what you said is indeed true, but the Central Army's reinforced divisions are only two or three that the Central Army has tried its best to support."
"But how can your Tiger Guards be composed entirely of reinforced divisions? You have so much armament..."
Sun Chu suddenly paused here because he thought of the wealth of the Huben Army.
In theory, an army consists of three divisions. Whether they are reinforced divisions or standard divisions is determined by financial resources.
He is a member of the Tiger Guards and is rich, so there is really not much to say about it.
Sun Chu regretted it at this moment. If he had thought of this earlier, he would not have given Zhou Weimin an army.
Giving Zhou Weimin a divisional position would be enough.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. After all, I still have to be proud and I can’t take back what I said.
Besides, even if he wanted to come back, would Zhou Weimin let Sun Chu take back what he said?
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, your Huben Army is only one army." Sun Chu shook his head and said to Zhou Weimin.
Sun Chu, the person in charge of the organization, remained silent, and the Eighth Route Army's Brigadier Commander Chen and Kong Jie certainly wouldn't say anything either.
Besides, this has nothing to do with Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie. They were just shocked by the internal organization of the Tiger Guards.
And because Sun Chu was there, Brigade Commander Chen was unwilling to talk about many things, so he didn't say anything after sitting at the table.
Although Brigade Commander Chen didn't talk much, he and Kong Jie ate a lot.
Because Brigade Commander Chen was there, Sun Chu couldn't tell Zhou Weimin many things, so he could only talk to Zhou Weimin about other things.
Of course, Sun Chu did not forget Commander Yan's instructions, which was to send gifts to Zhou Weimin and Qiao Linwei.
However, the gift is not here yet, it is outside, so Sun Chu just mentioned it briefly.
The meal lasted for an hour and then everyone left.
The main reason was that no one knew what to say, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army had nothing to say when they sat together.
After dinner, Zhou Weimin asked Chief of Staff Shen Fei to arrange accommodation for Sun Chu, Brigade Commander Chen, Kong Jie and others, and then left.
Just as Zhou Weimin was about to leave, Sun Chu stopped him and said, "Weimin, I want to go see Lin Wei tomorrow."
"This is also Commander Yan's instruction. Furthermore, Commander Yan has a gift for me to bring to Lin Wei."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Zhou Weimin nodded slightly, and then said to Sun Chu: "Okay, Uncle Sun, I will let Xu Hu come to pick you up tomorrow."
In fact, Zhou Weimin knew that Sun Chu definitely had something to do with him, and it was related to the Eighth Route Army.
Because when Sun Chu was speaking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie several times.
Silent all night.
The next day, Zhou Weimin asked Xu Hu to pick up Sun Chu, while he and Qiao Linwei waited for Sun Chu in the yard.
Not long after, Xu Hu brought Sun Chu and Sun Chu's adjutant over.
After all, Sun Chu lived not far from Zhou Weimin.
After Sun Chu sat down, Qiao Linwei personally brewed a pot of tea, then said a few words to Sun Chu and made an excuse to leave.
Of course, Qiao Linwei also received the gift that Sun Chu sent on behalf of Commander Yan. It was not a surprise gift, just some jewelry.
After Qiao Linwei left, Sun Chu said to Zhou Weimin: "Weimin!"
"In addition to attending your wedding, I came to Hutou Mountain mainly to talk to you about the Eighth Route Army's affairs in Jindi."
"You have to know that the Eighth Route Army has developed very rapidly in Shanxi in the past two years."
"Last time when we were fighting in Chidong County, the Eighth Route Army also launched an offensive against the devils at the same time."
"The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the Japanese 30th Division's attack on Chidong County, when the Japanese in northwest Shanxi were left empty, to launch an offensive against the Japanese in northwest Shanxi."
"In this offensive against the Japanese invaders in northwestern Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a total of 80,000 to 90,000 troops!"
"You have to know that the Eighth Route Army has only been in Jin for less than two years. Can you imagine how they can continue to develop?"
"So Commander Yan has now ordered the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to suppress the Eighth Route Army's development. However, they are all friendly forces, so we can't go too far."
"After all, during this period, the key issue is the war of resistance."
Sun Chu was observing Zhou Weimin while he was speaking, but no matter what Sun Chu said, Zhou Weimin didn't react.
This made Sun Chu unable to guess what Zhou Weimin's attitude towards the Eighth Route Army was.
"Uncle Sun, I understand what you mean. Don't you want my Tiger Guards to obey Commander Yan's orders and suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army?"
"But I want to ask Uncle Sun, what benefits will this bring to my Tiger Guards? My Tiger Guards are going to leave Jin."
"And to be honest with you, Uncle Sun, I plan to leave Jin with the Tiger Guards at the end of this year, so the Tiger Guards do not want to get involved in Jin's affairs."
"Besides, I still have a few friends in the Eighth Route Army, and I can't do anything to suppress them."
"When the Japanese 37th Division attacked Chidong County, the Eighth Route Army launched an offensive against northwest Shanxi."
"This is obviously to help my Tiger Guards. It would be very bad if my Tiger Guards did not report back to the Eighth Route Army and are still suppressing the Eighth Route Army."
"I, Zhou Weimin, can't do this, and neither can my Tiger Guards."
"I can only tell you, Uncle Sun, that my Tiger Guards Division will not get involved in the affairs of Jin, nor will we help any troops in Jin."
"I, Zhou Weimin, don't care about or ask about the future situation or development of Jin."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Zhou Weimin thought for a while, and then slowly spoke to Sun Chu.
In fact, this is the truest story of Zhou Weimin.
Zhou Weimin currently doesn’t want to care about the affairs of Shanxi, especially the affairs of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Zhou Weimin now only wants to expand his troops and march south to Guizhou and Yunzhou states by the end of this year.
