Chapter 249 The Central Army’s methods of dealing with warlords!
"Wei Min, what do you think?" Qiao Linwei hesitated for a moment and asked Zhou Weimin.
Qiao Linwei knew that Zhou Weimin was the old man's student, and also knew that the Tiger Guard Division was now under the control of the Central Military Commission.
At this time, the Tiger Guards Division had suffered a great loss of strength after a great battle. It was not a good time for them to fall out with the Central Army.
"What do you think? I don't think about anything. The old man gives the old man's orders, and I do what I have to do."
"I founded the Tiger Guard Division, and the old man has never given any support since the establishment of the Tiger Guard Division."
"Now the Tiger Guards say they are the central army, but in fact they are my, Zhou Weimin's, private army. Who else can give them orders except me?"
Zhou Weimin had no scruples when facing Qiao Linwei and dared to say anything.
"Is this really okay? How about you send a telegram to explain?" Qiao Linwei said after hesitating for a moment.
You have to know that the current Central Army is still very powerful. A million-strong army is very intimidating.
"What's there to explain? It's obvious that the old man wants to use up the Tiger Guards."
"I just don't obey the old man's orders. What can the old man do?"
"The old man's methods are useless to me. My Tiger Guards don't need the old man's weapons."
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Zhou Weimin shrugged indifferently, and then said to Qiao Linwei.
Why can the Central Army command those warlord forces? On the one hand, it is because of the Central Army’s strength, and on the other hand, it is because of the old man’s methods.
The old man's methods are money and arms offensive.
If you obey me, I will give you money and weapons. If you disobey me, I will give you nothing and see how you fight.
You should know that at that time China's military equipment basically came from overseas. With the Japanese attack on China, most countries began to impose an embargo on arms exports to China.
Only the Central Army still has channels to purchase arms from overseas, and the Central Army also has the support of the United States.
So the old man made good use of this method to continuously weaken the strength of local warlords and strengthen the central army.
But this trick didn't work on Zhou Weimin, and Zhou Weimin also looked down on the old man's armaments.
Because the old man’s weapons are things that others don’t want.
"Wei Min, that's what you said, but the Tiger Guard Division is under the name of the Central Army after all."
"Although it's just in name, sometimes names can be very devastating. Besides..."
Before Qiao Linwei could finish her words, Zhou Weimin pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Besides, this is Jin territory, and there's no central army in Jin territory. I won't listen to the old man, and the old man can't do anything about it."
Qiao Linwei didn't hear what Zhou Weimin said at all, but said with a slightly red face: "What are you doing!"
"Hurry up and let me go. If someone comes in, I...it will be so bad."
After hearing this, Zhou Weimin did not let go of Qiao Linwei, but instead hugged her even tighter.
In an instant, Qiao Linwei's pretty face turned red, and she glared at Zhou Weimin fiercely, but she was still a little happy in her heart.
"I...tell you, we are just engaged, and...not married yet!" Qiao Linwei said with her pretty face still flushed.
"What are you thinking about? I just want to hug you. Besides, this place is not suitable!" Zhou Weimin said with a smile.
"Bah... You're obviously imagining things. If you keep doing this, I'll ignore you."
"And let me go quickly, it seems someone is coming. If someone sees me, I..."
Qiao Linwei seemed to hear footsteps and said to Zhou Weimin anxiously.
Zhou Weimin also knew that this era was not his previous era, and such behavior was very bad, so he let Qiao Linwei go.
However, Zhou Weimin was very unhappy with those who ruined his good deeds.
"Commander, a unit of the Eighth Route Army has arrived in Chidong County." Xu Hu walked into the house and said directly.
But after he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Linwei with a red face, and he knew without thinking that he had come at the wrong time.
"Wei Min, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first." Qiao Linwei said quickly when she saw Xu Hu looking at her.
After saying that, he straightened his clothes and quickly walked out of the room.
"Master, I...I didn't know Madam was here too." Xu Hu said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Okay, it's not what you think. Tell me which Eighth Route Army unit it is. If you didn't know them, you wouldn't come to me."
"Also, if you come to see me next time, remember to knock on the door. Why not? Isn't the door meant for you to knock?"
Zhou Weimin was very unhappy with Xu Hu, so he deliberately tried to find fault with him.
What could Xu Hu do? He could only nod and say, "I understand, Master. I will knock on the door next time."
In fact, Xu Hu was thinking in his heart that next time he came to see Zhou Weimin, he would definitely ask the guard at the door who was in the room.
If Qiao Linwei was in the room, Xu Hu would ask someone else to report.
"Okay, tell me, which Eighth Route Army unit it is?" Zhou Weimin looked at Xu Hu and asked.
"Commander, it's Li Yunlong's new regiment." Xu Hu said hurriedly after hearing that.
"Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment? What is he doing in Chidong County? This is not his defense zone!" Zhou Weimin thought for a while and asked after hearing this.
"Commander, Li Yunlong is here to escort our wounded and is already in the city." Xu Hu said slowly after hearing this.
In fact, Li Yunlong came to support Zhou Weimin, but Li Yunlong did not expect that the battle between the Tiger Guard Division and the Japanese 37th Division was over when he was halfway there.
Li Yunlong is a brave man. Other troops dare not come to Chidong County for fear of being implicated, but Li Yunlong is not afraid.
Moreover, the last time Zhou Weimin helped Li Yunlong destroy the Sakata Regiment, he gave Li Yunlong a lot of weapons and equipment.
This time Zhou Weimin was in trouble and Li Yunlong was nearby, so he decided to come over and take a look.
But when Li Yunlong was halfway there, he saw the scouts of the Tiger Guard Division fighting with the defeated soldiers of the 37th Division of the Japanese army.
So he helped the scouts of the Huben Division, who were few in number and suffered heavy casualties.
Li Yunlong had no medicine, so he sent the wounded scouts of the Tiger Guard Division to Chidong County.
After Li Yunlong arrived in Chidong County, the soldiers reported to Xu Hu, who also met with Li Yunlong.
I also understood the reason why Li Yunlong came.
"This is Li Yunlong's personality, but why do we still have soldiers outside?" Zhou Weimin thought for a while and asked after hearing Xu Hu's words.
"Commander, the entire northwest of Shanxi is now filled with soldiers from our Tiger Guard Division. The Japanese in northwest Shanxi are now evacuating."
"Our soldiers are chasing these devils everywhere, so small-scale battles are going on all the time."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Xu Hu took out a telegram, handed it to Zhou Weimin, and said.
