The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"You Quan, you've made such a big fuss about this, I'm really flattered!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand to signal everyone to end the ceremony, then turned to Wu Taixun and said with a smile, "Brothers, you look really good... It shows that you Wu family are really good at leading troops!"

From the entrance to here, everything in sight shows signs of rearrangement and renovation... It is enough to show how much Wu Taixun cares about his face and himself.

Jiang Cheng naturally saw through it but didn't say anything. Wu Taixun must be a little proud: "Haha, although my Heilongjiang Province's troops are a little worse than your Jilin Army, but after years of training by my father, my family still has a solid foundation!"

As he said this, he led Jiang Cheng and his party to inspect the barracks: This Master Wu really wasn't bragging. With the productivity of this era, the buildings in the South Camp were considered quite good, with thick walls and floor heating in every room;

In addition, the layout and facilities of the barracks are also very scientific, and it is obvious that they have learned a lot from Jilin in recent years.

The Wu father and son are willing to spend money on these infrastructure projects, which shows how much they value the army.

After asking about the brothers' food, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's really good, and the food is better than our Jilin Army. By the way, Youquan, I won't say anything more. Do you want me to see the drill? Shall we go to the parade ground?"

Wu Taixun glanced at Jiang Cheng in embarrassment and said, "Alright, Feilan... I've shown you almost everything you should see."

"I think we should just skip this training!"

Jiang Cheng immediately understood what he meant.

It is easy to do superficial work. Even if you stay up all night and urge everyone to do a thorough renovation, there will always be an obvious change.

But if we want to train personnel, we can't do it in a short time... In addition, Jiang Cheng inspected the barracks and could clearly smell a faint smell of smoke;
This indirectly shows that the military discipline is not very good.

"Let's go to the office and talk about this."

After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng decided to give his brother some face, and said, "By the way, ask the commander of the South Camp to come as well."

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Cheng asked Wu Taixun to prepare the roster - at this time, Li Xuedong, the commander of the Qiqihar South Camp, came in and brought a large stack of documents according to the instructions of Governor Wu.

"What are you doing? Come and take a look with me..."

Seeing Wu Taixun's guilty look, Jiang Cheng smiled instead, "I just understand. Besides, I'm not your boss. Why are you acting like a mouse watching a cat?"

Wu Taixun smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "Brother, you are so arrogant. Besides, since our two companies are cooperating, even the people below know that I have to listen to you..."

"Stop being so rude to me - just tell me what you have to say."

Hearing his good brother say this, Jiang Cheng quickly said: "Brother, don't take it personally. I came to Heilongjiang Province not to find fault with you, but to solve your problems."

"Just think about it, the Second Master left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to explain anything - Yang Yuting then sent Chang Yinhuai to Heilongjiang Province for you. God knows what he messed up!"

After rolling his eyes a few times, Jiang Cheng planned to put the blame of "being bad", "causing trouble", "poor leadership" and so on on the dead men in order to carry out the next work better. Anyway, they could not jump out of the coffin.

"No matter what, I have been leading troops for more years than you, and I have been through a lot... I always think that since our two companies are cooperating, I will help you find out the shortcomings and fill them first."

Wu Taixun heard that Jiang Cheng was trying to shift the blame to others, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "That's true! In the beginning, my father was the one who took care of all the big and small things in the army. Later, it was that Chang who insisted on taking all the power, making it difficult for everyone to do their job—"

"Hey, you know that the political affairs of Heilongjiang Province have given me a headache. I don't know how many things Chang has ruined."

He winked at Li Xuedong, who was also a veteran in the business, so he knew everything. "I won't look at the list, I just want to ask, does this name... match?"

Jiang Cheng said sternly, tapping the thick roster with one hand, "Don't be afraid, I just want to know - how many people are on the roster, how many are there actually?"

Knowing that he was planning to investigate the issue of empty salaries, Li Xuedong looked at Wu Taixun and finally chose to tell the truth.

The number was far greater than Jiang Cheng had imagined: the number of people turning in and out was as high as two-thirds!
In other words, out of the one thousand people on the list, perhaps only more than three hundred can be named.

In addition, the weapons and equipment allocated by the higher-ups had hardly been issued before, and were all stored in the armory.

The worst thing is, these weapons may not match up!
Because my father took over Heilongjiang Province from the Bao family, and it was a mess at that time...

Wu Junsheng had taken inventory many times but still had no clear answer. What was even worse was that the three logistics officers were all his cronies. In addition, Chang Yinhuai had been in charge of military affairs for nearly a year, and there had been many changes of generals.

"In other words, you guys haven't even taken inventory of how much stuff Curry has, and you haven't even handed it over to the previous person?"

Jiang Cheng realized that the problem was far more serious than he had imagined.

The personnel are not clear, the accounts are not clear, and now even the military equipment is a mess.

No wonder the bandits in Heilongjiang Province can’t be completely eliminated, and according to the secret report of the Free Trade Zone, a lot of military equipment has flowed into the market.

This shows how chaotic the management of the entire Heilongjiang Province is. This Wu Datou is really as the book says. Besides liking to plunder the people for his own benefit, few of his troops are capable of fighting.

With his chin supported by one hand, Jiang Cheng fell into deep thought.

Recruiting soldiers is easy. Once the conditions are set, the troops can be fully staffed in less than two months.

The training is not that difficult... He has already transferred a group of reserve officers from the Jilin Military Academy. He will leave the task to them and they will be able to complete the training in half a year or a year.

The biggest problem now is that there seems to be a smell of decay throughout Heilongjiang Province, and there are big problems with the entire management -

This is a huge project, comparable to the military reorganization in the past.

"I probably understand."

Jiang Cheng retracted his gaze and looked back at Wu Taixun, "I'll leave Li Jinglin to you... Let him follow you during the training these two days."

"Oh, by the way, give me a list of all the officers above the regimental level in Heilongjiang Province. I'm not afraid of the trouble. Let's check them one by one to see which ones can be used and which ones can't."

After saying this, Jiang Cheng stood up and said, "By the way, didn't we allocate a batch of tanks to you before?"

"Where are your tanks? And where are the armored forces... Pan Sheng and I will go over and take a look now."

Wu Taixun simply let go: "Okay, let's pack up and go to Longjiang."

"The armored forces have been stationed in Longjiang since last year and have not been deployed to the vicinity of Qiqihar." (End of this chapter)
