Even if I'm a useless bum at Whampoa Military Academy, I'll be invincible in the War of Re

Ge Yaohua did not expect that General Zhao Yunwen would receive him, and that he would be so approachable.

Zhao Yunwen first patiently inquired about the situation of several student representatives, and then asked:

Are schools in Jiangcheng still able to operate normally?

Ge Yaohua quickly said:

"Japanese planes bombed every few days, and in such a large city as Jiangcheng, there was no longer a quiet place to sit at a desk."

The government is planning to relocate schools to Chongqing, and most students will go with them, but we don't want to.

"The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen. We've come here to advise the Tiger Legion on how to fight the Japanese invaders!"

Another girl chimed in:

"We retreated from Shanghai to Nanjing, then from Nanjing to Wuhan, and now we're retreating to Chongqing!"

What if Chongqing falls too? Where can we retreat to? China is so vast, we have nowhere left to retreat to!

Others chimed in, and one girl loudly requested:

"General Zhao, please give me a gun. I want to go to the battlefield. I will offer my blood to Xuanyuan."

Zhao Yunwen had a headache listening to this. These students were thinking too simply about the battlefield. He couldn't bear to send young students to the battlefield.

"Students, I understand your desire to go to the battlefield, and I can accept you as my students."

But I must make it clear beforehand: since you've become soldiers of the Tiger Legion, you must obey orders and follow commands. Whatever work you're assigned, you must do it; there's no room for negotiation.

The crowd looked at each other, and finally Ge Yaohua tentatively asked:

"General Zhao, what are your plans for us?"

Zhao Yunwen began to speak with his silver tongue:

"The principle is to make the best use of resources and talents. The army is a whole, and it not only needs soldiers who charge into battle, but also doctors and nurses who can save lives."

The Tiger Legion will need to build its own military factory, which requires engineers and skilled workers who understand machinery, as well as an industrial park to produce supplies for combat. I can't expect soldiers who can't read much to do these things.

The reason why the Tiger Legion was able to withstand the Japanese invaders and achieve victory after victory was because we had advanced weapons;

We used to buy these weapons, but with the Japanese warships blockading the sea routes, it will be very difficult to obtain weapons and equipment in the future, so I need to rely on my own efforts.

You college students are my hope.

Ge Yaohua understood and immediately said excitedly:

"I studied mechanical design and have dreamed of building a strong military since I was a child. If General Zhao can use me, I will follow your orders."

The girl who had spoken earlier chimed in:

"I'm studying medicine, but I'd like to ask, do military doctors receive uniforms and guns?"

Zhao Yunwen immediately made the decision:

"The military doctors also have military ranks and positions. They are not only issued military uniforms, but also participate in military training in their spare time to learn essential military skills. Each person is also issued a pistol for self-defense."

The girl said happily:

"Then I'd be willing to be a military doctor!"

The others also shared their specialties, and Zhao Yunwen assigned them suitable military positions accordingly, making everyone eager to try.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Yunwen began to give them orders:

"Now I'm giving you a tough task: go back and compile everyone's information, and persuade them to obey the Tiger Legion's orders. Can you do it?"

Everyone answered in unison:

"able!"

"Classmates, I'm planning to send someone to Jiangcheng to provide assistance to those who want to come to southern Henan to join the Tiger Army. Is there anyone willing to go and help?"

"Wow!"

"Wow, many of my classmates want to come, but they're not sure if they'll make it, and some don't have the money."

Zhao Yunwen immediately said:

"The Tiger Army will cover their travel expenses and guarantee their safety along the way. Each person will receive a resettlement allowance of twenty silver dollars, and college students will receive fifty, including you."

After hearing this, everyone cheered in unison. Zhao Yunwen felt a little uneasy, as if he had been fooling an innocent child.

But the thought that these people were later tricked by the principal into joining the Youth Army and wasted as ordinary soldiers makes me inexplicably heartbroken.

Thinking of this, the last trace of guilt in Zhao Yunwen's heart vanished.

Jiangcheng is a treasure trove, housing more than half of the country's college students who are stranded there. They will soon be transferred to Chongqing, and Zhao Yunwen decided to intercept some of them.

After the Battle of Jiangcheng, he would find a place to develop, fight a protracted war with the Japanese, build factories and schools, manufacture weapons, and form armored troops, artillery, and air force. Which of these would not require educated young people?

Zhao Yunwen finally managed to appease the college students, and then sent Lu Ping to lead a team to Jiangcheng. Ostensibly, the mission was to urge the Military Commission for supplies, but in reality, it was to poach their personnel.

He had only one request:

"We must be careful to distinguish between enemy agents and spies. We must purify our ranks at the source."

Lu Ping, being Zhao Yunwen's right-hand man, immediately expressed his opinion:

"Don't worry, those Japanese spies can't escape my eyes."

Zhao Yunwen added another sentence:

"We need to guard against enemy agents, not just those from over there, so as not to arouse the principal's suspicion and affect our fight against the Japanese."

Lu Ping understood immediately, nodded, and turned to leave.

This group of young students totaled more than 600. Zhao Yunwen first selected a portion of the medical and nursing professionals and sent them directly to the field hospital, where they were placed under the care of Su Wanqing.

The rest were all thrown into the training regiment for three months, and the same was true for those Lupin brought over later.

Prioritize the needs of field hospitals and increase the number of medical personnel to 800, including no fewer than 200 doctors.

When Su Wanqing received the first batch of hospital staff, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She even said a few nice things about Commander Zhao, but she scolded Xiao Jianyun quite a bit.

"Can you please stop being so rude! You're already a regimental commander, yet you still act like a warlord. Why don't you learn from the commander?"

Xiao Jianyun said, his neck stiff:

"I learned this from the commander!"

Su Wanqing angrily punched him lightly:

"Nonsense, Commander, you don't learn the good things, you only learn the bad ones."

Xiao Jianyun stopped arguing with her and said instead:

"I have already delivered the people as ordered. The military commander has arranged for these medical personnel to receive living allowances. It has been agreed with the local government that they will be requisitioned for half a month, and I will come back to send them back after that."

Let's go!

"Wait a minute!"

Su Wanqing suddenly called out to him and then said:

"Let me see your wound."

"What injury do I have?"

Su Wanqing didn't say anything, she just stared intently at Xiao Jianyun, making him feel uneasy.

After a long pause, Xiao Jianyun had no choice but to say:

"It's just a minor injury, it's already been treated."

Su Wanqing said with a dark face:

"With your clumsy hands and feet, you think you can treat a gunshot wound? Lift up your clothes!"

Su Wanqing's tone was irresistible, and Xiao Jianyun obediently lifted his military uniform, revealing a wound on his waist.

Although it had been bandaged, a lot of blood seeped out and stuck to the gauze.

"A minor injury, just a bullet hole. Who was it that blurted that out?"

Su Wanqing ignored him and carefully removed the gauze, revealing the shocking wound inside.

"You said it was nothing, but look at it, it's all festering!"

As Su Wanqing spoke, she brought over special instruments and carefully treated the wound, scraping away the necrotic tissue. Her eyes were already filled with a layer of mist.

"It will hurt a lot, just bear with it."

Xiao Jianyun winced in pain, but still said with a tough attitude:

"It's nothing, it's like scratching an itch."

Su Wanqing stopped talking and focused on treating his wound. After scraping away the necrotic tissue, she disinfected, reduced inflammation, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged it. After that, she gave him some oral anti-inflammatory medicine before saying something that seemed to contradict her:

"Come back in three days for a dressing change!"

Xiao Jianyun wanted to say that he was all better, but he swallowed the words back and answered honestly:

"Okay. I have some things to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he ran away as if fleeing. Su Wanqing said angrily:

"You idiot, do you think I'm going to eat you? Where did that bastardly courage you had when you pointed a gun at me go?"

Qiao Chujian leaned closer and said:

"Director, stop looking, Commander Xiao has already gone far away."

Su Wanqing said with annoyance:

"Whoever saw this, don't go spreading rumors! You're pregnant, don't go running around."

"It's alright. The hospital is short-staffed right now, so I came to lend a hand."

After finishing her sentence, Qiao Chujian changed the subject:

"But you and Commander Xiao seem like a perfect match, Director. Should I try to set you up?"

Su Wanqing said, embarrassed and annoyed:

"Don't talk nonsense. Who said he and I are a perfect match? I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to check on the wounded brothers."
