Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

'Yes, 8008 points were added. Unfortunately, the puppet company commander was killed by the soldiers and only received 200 points of military merit!'

Without thinking any more, Xu Le had the body taken away to be dealt with, then he took out a piece of paper and shouted:

"Next, anyone whose name I read can go to the Logistics Department to claim the rewards for this operation!

Liu Erzhuang, if you kill a Japanese soldier, you will be rewarded with 5 yuan; Chen Sanwa, if you kill a Japanese soldier, you will be rewarded with 5 yuan; Meng Sixi, if you kill a Japanese soldier, you will be rewarded with 5 yuan...."

"Liu Gen, kill a puppet army company commander and you will be rewarded 40 dollars!"

Until the last name was read out, the scene became boiling again, especially Liu Gen, who was surrounded like a moon surrounded by stars. That was 40 oceans, equivalent to three months' salary for the commander of the National Guard Corps!

.......

At night, Xu Le didn't know how he fell asleep. He was drunk and felt his chest rising and falling. It seemed like something soft was shaking up and down in his abdomen.

Very comfortable!

Very enjoyable!

The next day, the logistics department also counted the gains from the ambush. Excluding food and cotton clothes, a total of 800 rifles, 100 pistols, 20 light machine guns, 4 heavy machine guns, 10 rounds of bullets, 90 Type 4 150mm mortars, and shells were seized.

The rifles were mainly Type 4 and Hanyang rifles. Except for four Type heavy machine guns, Xu Le looked down on the rest.

Nominally it was under the guard of the guard team and no one was allowed to approach, but in reality he exchanged all of it for the system in the form of materials.

The Type 4 rifle without a bayonet alone weighs 2 kilograms, and it weighs more than 2 kilograms without the wooden part. It can be exchanged for 1 military merit points, and then you can resell it as an SVT.

[I don’t know how heavy the wooden part is, I just wrote it casually, don’t take it seriously! ]

A Type 170 mortar weighs 170 kilograms and is worth military merit points.

Except for bullets and shells, all of them were exchanged for 3800 military merit points.

"Young Marshal, the rewards you set for killing the enemy can indeed motivate the soldiers' fighting spirit to a great extent, but the rewards are so high, where can we get so much money? The logistics department only has less than half of the money left."

Xu Le’s reward system was announced suddenly without discussing it with Jiang Feng and others.

But everyone was having a great time drinking that night, and Jiang Feng didn't want to spoil everyone's mood. Now that it was convenient, he went to find Xu Le. He believed that Xu Le had a way to solve the problem, but he didn't know and was unsure!

"Oh, I was just about to tell you about this! We can make money on our own. The National Guard and the Jin Army are both wealthy. Why don't we just sell weapons to them?"

"This..." Jiang Feng was stunned. He thought of many possibilities, such as doing business, mining, and even robbing the Japanese, but he never thought of selling arms.

"Young Marshal, the Tang Dynasty is now in a full-scale war. It would be a bad idea for us to resell arms. We will be cursed for making money from the war. Besides, the equipment of the Jin Army and the National Guard is not too bad. What weapons can we sell to them?"

"No, first of all, we are the anti-Japanese force of the National Guard. We are a real force fighting the Japanese invaders. Our military achievements are here! Secondly, we sold it at a normal price and did not cheat them. It was an honorable act to support friendly forces in the war of resistance. They even had to say thank you to me! With these two conditions added together, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to say anything about us. It may even become a good story!"

The resources in the rear of the Tang Dynasty were not many, but not few either. However, the National Guard and local troops had limited technology and equipment, so they could not produce any good weapons, and production could not be increased.

During this world war, almost all of Tang Dynasty's transportation to the outside world was cut off, making it impossible to purchase arms from abroad.

There was one thing Xu Le didn't say, which was that the ammunition for the system was too cheap. Even if he sold one gun, he would make a lot of money if he got a few hundred extra shells.

In this case, as long as he does not ask for an exorbitant price, any troop will rush to buy his weapons, spread the word about his merits, and even send troops to protect him.

Jiang Feng also figured this out and stopped dwelling on the matter.

He believed that Xu Le had his own weapons channels, just like the semi-automatic weapons that the troops are now equipped with, so he would not ask too many questions!

"By the way, I want to make some reforms to the troops. Commander Jiang, please notify the regiment commanders and chiefs of staff to come to the meeting. I will tell you the details later!"

"Okay, I'll ask the communications team to call them now!"

......

On that day, Xu Le issued several political orders, not military orders!

Because he wanted to build the 176th Division into a future motorized force, he shamelessly borrowed from the military system of previous Chinese dynasties.

Calling each other brothers in the army always feels like banditry. From now on, regardless of gender, everyone will be called "comrade".

In addition to the Logistics Department, two more departments were established:

The General Staff is responsible for the military construction of all armed forces and organizes and directs the military operations of the armed forces, including combat, intelligence, military training, mobilization, etc.

The General Political Department is responsible for the political work of the entire army, including propaganda, discipline inspection, organization, etc.

The original contents of the General Logistics Department included finance, quartermaster, health, military transportation, fuel supplies, infrastructure and barracks, etc.

This is a division that only exists in a national-level army, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the National Guard has a complete system.

The officers also understood Xu Le's independent thoughts and were delighted and actively developed their work.

However, these cannot be accomplished in a short period of time. It may take several months or even several years. The main reason is that the 176th Division now has few talents, and most of them are combat troops. They cannot participate in the work of several departments.

At the same time, Xu Le announced matters related to arms trafficking, which he had been thinking about long before he left Kang.

The logistics department would contact the surrounding Jin army and temporarily avoid the National Guard. As long as the other party needed weapons, they would sell them. The two parties would agree on a location, exchange money for goods, and not accept national currency, only dollars and gold bars, or metals such as copper and iron.

The key point is four words: no credit!

As for the weapons for sale, Xu Le is not stupid and he will definitely not sell advanced weapons. At least they have to be one level lower than the equipment of his own troops. Otherwise, what if others turn around and attack him?

For example, the 176th Division is now equipped with semi-automatic rifles, so he will sell Lee Enfield rifles. This gun has good performance, and the key is that it has an 8-round capacity, which can significantly increase the rate of fire.

The faster the rate of fire during battle, the greater the fire suppression will naturally be, and the greater the hope of winning!

He believed that no matter which Tang Dynasty army it was, they would like Lee Enfield!
