Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 158

"Successful check-in."

"Got 300 pairs of cowhide military shoes. (Note: Comrade Yukatsu's favorite)

" "Oh, there is a whole bunch of military shoes."

"The style is indeed similar to the pair worn by Comrade Yukatsu."

Lin Hongfei took out a pair of military shoes and glanced at them in his hand a few times, and then put them back into the system space.

At this time, orderly Li Kui had already finished washing his face, and only after Lin Hongfei finished washing, the two went to the fourth company to take up their posts.

Just like before when he came to the guard company to take up his post, this time Lin Hongfei went to the fourth company to take up his post, and Wei Wenqi also went with him, and also said a few words in front of the soldiers of the fourth company.

When the brigade arrived, not only the officers and men of the fourth company, but also the officers of the second regiment, including the battalion commander and regiment commander, all arrived.

Seeing that the brigade personally sent Lin Hongfei to take office, these people inevitably increased their attention to Lin Hongfei in their hearts, and some people with lively eyes were also secretly planning how to have a good relationship with Lin Hongfei, maybe they could get some benefits from it.

After the induction ceremony, Wei Wenqi and other officers left one after another, and at this time Lin Hongfei was the highest commander in the barracks of the fourth company.

Because the number of years to be promoted to the rank is not enough, Lin Hongfei currently serves as a company commander with the rank of lieutenant, the same as Guo Lang, the deputy company commander of the fourth company.

"Company commander, this is the roster of our fourth company, the number of rosters is 121 people, please take a look!" Guo Lang said politely, and then presented the roster.

Lin Hongfei took the roster and flipped through it quickly, then looked up at the fourth company in front of him, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle:

"This is not right, you have 121 people here, there is a problem with your roster!"

Guo Lang smiled awkwardly: "Company commander, you also know this..."

In fact, before Guo Lang finished speaking, Lin Hongfei already understood the reason, it was very simple, the former company commander ate empty salaries, obviously there will be 100 people in front of him, he directly reported 121 people to the above, and the extra military pay went into his own pocket.

This was not a rare thing in the Republican period, but it was just an open secret that everyone in the army knew but no one broke.

The company commander falsely reported the number of companies to the battalion commander, the battalion commander misreported the number of people to the regiment commander, and the regiment commander misreported the number of people to the brigade commander

In short, the result of layers of false reports is that it is clear that the books show that there is a brigade of more than 5,000 people here, but in fact about 3,000 people have died.

But the top brass are aware of the problem of misreporting the number of people, but they acquiesce to its existence, after all, it is also a method used by the top officials to win people's hearts and minds in exchange for military support.

You dare to break this layer of window paper today and send a chincha to investigate this matter, and tomorrow the army will fall to other warlords, and by the way, you will kill all the chinchai you sent for various reasons such as climbing a mountain and losing your footing, falling into the water by boat, robbing and killing bandits, etc.

Other officers ate empty pay, Lin Hongfei couldn't manage it, and he didn't bother to care.

However, the troops under him must not falsely report the number of people, and the actual number of people is as many as the roster is!

After all, Lin Hongfei doesn't need to make money by eating empty pay.

"Deputy Company Commander Guo, and your three platoon commanders, come into the house with me to talk about things."

"The others can disband!"

Lin Hongfei said that, so he led the four officers into his room, and when the other soldiers saw the commanders leave, they immediately scattered and went back to the dormitory to rest and play.

In the room, Lin Hongfei stared at the four officers under him, and his sharp eyes made these four veterans somewhat restless.

At this time, Lin Hongfei said: "When I first arrived, I still didn't understand the situation of our fourth company, and the officials didn't understand their subordinates, so this was a fart battle."

"After you go back, I will all have a message with the brethren, tomorrow morning there will be a drill, and I will personally see the combat effectiveness of the fourth company."

"Yes, company commander!" Guo Lang and the others quickly replied.

"Also, we still have 18 vacancies in the fourth company, which is not okay."

"How the Zhenwu New Army was able to hit Qihe County some time ago was not all because the garrisons in various places falsely reported the number of people, and it was clear that the garrison of 200 people turned out to be only 130 in the end."

"I know that the salary of the soldier is low, so I think about eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood."

"Other companies, I don't care, I can't manage it, but in our fourth company, no!"

"Absolutely not!"

After Lin Hongfei's words, Guo Lang and the four couldn't help but show a bit of a strange expression, which included both distress for the lack of empty pay and hostility towards Lin Hongfei.

As soon as I came up, I cut off everyone's financial path, which is really excessive!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lin Hongfei seemed to have guessed their thoughts, so he continued: "My idea, a few people here will definitely be reluctant.

"It's okay, this is also normal, cut off people's wealth, such as killing parents."

"Today I also opened the skylight and said bright words, if you can't bear those few empty salaries, you can choose to leave the fourth company and go to serve in another company."

"Don't worry, I still have a bit of thin face in the brigade headquarters, which company you want to go to, I can help you handle it."

"If you feel that following me Lin Hongfei will suffer, although you will suffer losses now, but you can get more benefits in the future, then stay and help me, everyone will be their own people in the future, sharing blessings and difficulties."

"Where to go, the four of you choose by yourself, before dinner, give me an answer!"

"Okay, you can go!"

Lin Hongfei said and raised his hand to signal that everyone could leave.

Immediately, Guo Lang and the other four greeted Lin Hongfei, and left one by one with complicated faces.

Not long after, Lin Hongfei obviously heard a burst of noise coming from the barracks, although he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, but from these tones and tones, there was a lot of complaining and anger.

Sure enough, when Li Kui walked into the room, he said a little angrily: "Company commander, the people of the fourth company are so unspeakable, they actually said bad things about you in the room!" "

Oh, what do you say about me?" Lin Hongfei asked with interest.

"To say that you are a new official who takes office with three fires, and the first fire burns them first, is simply not a thing."

"What else do you say that you are well fed, what kind of military drills, I don't know if everyone can't even eat enough every day, where to have the strength to practice."

"They also say that you don't need a tea bowl to drink tea, and the hu (pot) comes; Sell cloth without scissors, blindly; Ximen Qing fell on Su Daji and..."

"Okay, what a mess!"

Lin Hongfei was speechless for a while, and with this, he could see that the veterans of the fourth company were really useless.

"It's okay, let them go despite their nonsense, and tomorrow see how I train these veteran oilers!"

After speaking, Lin Hongfei gave Li Kui a few oceans, and after whispering a few words with him, Li Kui nodded repeatedly, and then quickly left the camp.
