Rise From Eight Hundred

It seems easy to recruit the security battalion. When Tang Dao came, Zhuang Shisan, who was a bit rebellious, immediately gave up. In fact, there was mutual compromise and confrontation.

Inspired by Qian Dazhu, Tang Dao personally called the headquarters to request the recruitment of the first security battalion. Wang Gongyu was a local official, and the title of major general was just a nominal title. The two lieutenant generals also needed the help of this local snake. Even if they wanted to help Tang Dao, they could not use their power to pressure others. Tang Dao wanted to swallow up an infantry battalion in one breath, so he had to persuade Wang Gongyu himself.

Tang Dao had to give the big commissioner Wang this face and inside, even if he was reluctant to agree because of the face of the two lieutenant generals.

But Tang Dao hoped that because the commander of the security regiment had no knot in his heart, the first battalion of the security regiment would be willing to join the security battalion from top to bottom.

Just like the marriage of young people, if there is no blessing from the elders, the more love there is in the grand beginning, the more heartless the ending will be.

The two sat in the garden outside the headquarters for half an hour. No one knew what they said except the parties involved.

Wang Gongyu, who finally agreed to Tang Dao, looked calm, but in fact, there was already a storm under his face.

Having been in the officialdom for more than ten years, he thought he was quite accurate in judging people. For Tang Dao, he was more inclined to think that this young man was a talented soldier. War was his stage. The bigger the stage, the brighter his future.

However, after Tang Dao talked to him heart to heart for half an hour, he found that he was still wrong about this young army lieutenant colonel who performed almost brilliantly on the battlefield.

Tang Dao could never be just a "second-generation local" from a family with a little family business. He was definitely educated and rigorously trained. Not only in military, but also in society, humanities, and history, he had unimaginable and extraordinary common interpretations.

For example, what really convinced Tang Dao was not that he knew Wang Gongyu's past very well, including that he had organized the Iron Blood National Salvation Corps with great enthusiasm when he was young, published the group magazine "Iron Blood", and had contact with the party with lofty ideals, nor did he tell him that as long as he could survive this war, he would definitely become a senior official in Jiangsu Province and become a high-ranking official in a province.

Rather, it was his view on this war.

Wang Gongyu was not a soldier. Regarding the war, he was more inclined to the proposal of the high-level leaders to mobilize the whole country's troops to fight a decisive battle with Japan. If Japan could not conquer it after a long attack, the League of Nations would intervene to mediate. The two sides would be like the "January 28 Incident" a few years ago. Although they fought each other, they would eventually sit at the negotiation table. At most, they would pay a certain price and return to the situation before the war.

But Tang Dao said that this would be a protracted war, and the time and battle line would be stretched to a length and width that the Japanese could not imagine. As long as China did not surrender, the Japanese would fall into the quagmire, and the once seemingly strong national strength would be consumed bit by bit.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. China has nothing but land, and its industry is poor. As long as people can fill their stomachs and not starve to death, they can fight the Japanese, but Japan cannot. If they want to completely conquer China, it is not enough to just fill their stomachs. They must have enough steel to build more ships and tanks and cannons, and to transport these behemoths from Japan to the Chinese mainland, they need oil.

That means that if they want to maintain the huge war with China, they have to take food from other countries. The nearest one is naturally Southeast Asia, which is the forbidden fruit of the West.

At that time, even if Japan knew that it would lead to bad consequences, it could only drink poison to quench its thirst and brazenly attack Southeast Asia. That was China's opportunity and the opportunity to win the war.

What Tang Dao said not only has the great man's future definition of protracted war, but also the inherent trajectory of history. When this war started, most people were just thinking about how to smash the Japanese's delusion of destroying China in one breath. Let alone Wang Gongyu, who is not familiar with military affairs, I am afraid that the generals in the theater command will worship Tang Dao as a god when they hear it.

Generals who have experienced many battles always have a keener sense of war. To break through the fog in front of them, they just lack a direction to guide them.

But this does not prevent Wang Gongyu from appreciating the unique concept of "protracted war" proposed by Tang Dao.

In addition, Wang Gongyu also appreciates Tang Dao's definition of the Japanese nation, which is very accurate.

"The Japanese nation is destined to be lonely. The barren land and the characteristics of an island country make them want to become excellent only by learning from the outside world. They first chose China. They learned Chinese Confucianism and Buddhism from the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, but they will never learn the essence of Chinese Taoism.

Because Taoism advocates that the way follows nature, and taking a step back will open up the sea and sky, but Japan cannot take a step back. If they take a step back, the sea will be quite wide.

So, this lonely nation can only gamble on the fate of the country again and again. They won the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and they won the Russo-Japanese War again. This time, it is the turn of the Sino-Japanese War.

There is a Chinese saying that you can't do it again and again. In gambling, how can you have good luck every time?"

Wang Gongyu will always remember the light of wisdom flashing in Tang Dao's eyes when he analyzed the Japanese nation. At that moment, he even admired the young man in front of him.

To express the understanding of a nation in such a humorous language in a simple and easy-to-understand way requires sufficient wisdom.

If you hand over one of your security battalions to such a person, maybe one day he will achieve something he can't imagine?

Wang Gongyu himself is a very successful businessman. He has a hunch that this may be the most important investment in his life, so he took his security battalion.

Facts have also proved that he is more suitable to be a businessman than an official, since the moment he decided to hand over the first security battalion to Tang Dao.

Time and space are like a crossroads with countless choices. Different choices make each dimension of oneself embark on a different destiny trajectory.

This future businessman made a huge investment in advance in this time and space that will make a lot of money.

Tang Dao didn't even promise him anything, but just used his understanding of history and the advantage of future people's extensive information to convince him.

But for Wang Gongyu, the essence of venture capital is not to draw big cakes? Although Tang Dao never promised to give people cakes, for people at this point in time, the cake that their country and nation will eventually win is attractive enough.

Incorporating a battalion is only secondary. Tang Dao also used the method of eating up a battalion of the security regiment in one bite to tell the other infantry regiments in Songjiang concisely and clearly that the commander of the security battalion, Tang Daying, is not only good at fighting.

That was indeed the case. Seeing that a certain lieutenant colonel failed to dig out an infantry platoon and simply took the whole pot with him, the other infantry regiment commanders who were still hesitating and unwilling to release the soldiers all stopped their tempers and released the soldiers.

If they still didn't release them, Captain Tang would come again and swallow up an infantry company, and then they would have nowhere to cry.

Besides, the security battalion only needed 400 people, seven infantry regiments, and each regiment sent 50 to 60 people. Although they were all excellent officers and soldiers, at least they would not hurt their bones.

In an hour and a half, all the 630 newly transferred officers and soldiers were in place. Together with the 210 people under Tang Dao who could still participate in the war, the total strength of the security battalion reached 840 people, exceeding the 800 people stipulated by the headquarters.

Naturally, as long as the two big guys in the headquarters didn't say anything, the others would just pretend not to see it.

The three infantry companies had 450 people, the guard company had 150 people, the fire support company had 200 people, and the remaining 40 people were organized by Tang Dao into the guard squad and communication squad directly under the battalion headquarters, which was also the last force in Tang Dao's hands.

Of course, Tang Dao did not really let Qian Dazhu be the platoon leader of the communication platoon.

Perhaps Wang Gongyu's previous impression of Tang Dao can be used to describe this new second lieutenant platoon leader. He should be a talented soldier. The bigger the stage he is given, the more exciting he will perform.

Tang Dao is looking forward to seeing how this seedling he discovered will burst out on his stage after several battles.

China, because of these outstanding soldiers who emerged in the war, finally laughed to the end in this asymmetric war.

But in the end, how many of those outstanding or ordinary Chinese soldiers can live to celebrate the victory, Tang Dao does not know. Tang Dao only knows that the Chinese soldiers written in the historical records suffered millions of casualties in this war.

Tang Dao cannot decide everyone's fate, but he can give some people a stage.

Tang Dao appointed Qian Dazhu as the platoon leader of the 2nd Company of the Security Battalion, indirectly preserving his original Sichuan Army infantry platoon organization.

Tang Dao was very thoughtful. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Company was concurrently served by the second deputy battalion commander Liu Zhenshan. The backbone of the 2nd Infantry Company was also the remaining 40 people of the original Sichuan Army Company. In addition to the several second lieutenant officers Tang Dao got from Guo Junzuo and Lao Wang, they supported the skeleton of the 2nd Company. Nearly 100 people needed to be supplemented, 50 of whom were officers and soldiers of the original 1st Battalion of the Security Corps, and 50 were officers and soldiers transferred from the 67th Army.

Almost all of the 220 people in the 1st Battalion of the Security Corps were disbanded and joined 3 infantry companies, but no one complained. Not only did they know that there was a gap in combat effectiveness from the veterans of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army, but Tang Dao's arrangements were also very detailed. Zhuang Shisan became the third deputy battalion commander and concurrently served as the commander of the 3rd Infantry Company. Tang Dao also personally selected 20 people from the Security Battalion to enter the battalion headquarters.

The security battalion took up half of the 40-man guard and communications squads, which represented an honor. The resentment of the troops being dispersed was naturally gone.

Tang Dao also had a little serviceman beside him.

The 13-year-old bald boy had two heavy pistols hanging around his waist, one of which was damaged and had not been repaired. The bloody belt he wore across his body was full of yellow bullets. His murderous outfit was a little funny compared to his childish face and the military uniform that was too big for him even in the smallest size.

But no one laughed at him.

Because his uncle was called Crow.

This reason was enough.
