Chapter 234 The Importance of a Good Reputation
During this period, Zhou Zheng has been busy organizing collective weddings for all the married officers of the Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
Commander Zhou Zheng said to all the officers and brides who were getting married: "After you get married, your mission is to have as many children as possible. The more the better. After the birth of each child, I will send them to school, and the tuition will be free. We in Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will take care of it all."
Hearing Commander Zhou Zheng say this, all the officers and their spouses danced with joy and shouted loudly: "Long live Commander Zhou Zheng... Long live... Long live..."
After Zhou Zheng finished organizing the weddings of all the officers of the Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he stayed at the Shuang'ershan base with his daughter Zhou Xinyi, son Zhou Jianguo, and daughter-in-law Chen Xinyi.
After a few days of leisure, Zhou Zheng was interrupted by an officer who was recruiting soldiers. The officer said to Commander Zhou Zheng, "There are now some young people from all over the country rushing to Shuang'er Mountain. The majority are ordinary people who have fled from all directions. They all want to join the army and join our Shuang'er Mountain Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army."
"If there were fewer people coming, we would have persuaded them all to go back. However, this time, there are too many people. No matter how much our subordinates persuade them to go home, since the Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not recruiting soldiers, these people simply won't listen."
"Seeing that more and more people are coming to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to request to join the army, I really have no other choice, so I came to report to you, Commander."
When Zhou Zheng heard the recruiting officer say this, he hurriedly asked how many people came to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to join the army?
"Comrade Commander, the number of people who are coming to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to request to join the army may be close to 200 million."
"How come so many people are coming to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to join the army?" Zhou Zheng was obviously surprised to hear so many people wanting to join our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. You know, our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army recruited over 200 million new soldiers in the past few months, which is more than enough for now and for a period of time.
"Comrade Commander, a large number of those who came to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to apply for enlistment are refugees fleeing from all directions, and a small number are aspiring young people from all over the country who came to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to apply for enlistment."
Then the recruiting officer continued, "Commander, there are droughts in many parts of the country right now. The people have no harvest at home. They really have no other options, so they are fleeing everywhere.
"On their way to escape, these common people heard passersby say that our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is a paradise on earth, where they will not be bullied, and that after they join the Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the soldiers who join them are treated very well."
"So, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, saying how great our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was. So all these people who had fled from all directions came to our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's territory."
The recruiting officer glanced at Commander Zhou Zheng and asked, "Commander, these civilians want to join our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. What should we do?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment, "Now our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has 475 million soldiers. We don't need to recruit anymore. But if we don't recruit again, how will these refugees survive? There is no place left to build in Shuang'ershan now."
Finally, Zhou Zheng decided to conduct a final recruitment and use all the recruited soldiers as reserve forces. Firstly, they could be added to various troops in a timely manner. Secondly, after conquering Mongolia, Mongolia would need construction, which would require manpower. These soldiers could go to engage in large-scale construction at any time, killing two birds with one stone.
Finally, Zhou Zheng said to his officer who was recruiting soldiers, "The commander has decided to recruit 100 million soldiers this time. Go down and inform them! We will only recruit 100 million new soldiers. No more. This is the last time we will recruit soldiers for the Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army."
"Yes...Comrade Commander." After saying this, the recruiting officer immediately turned around and left, going down to announce the start of the final recruitment of the Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
Zhou Zheng called Li Fei, the commander of the Imperial Guard, to his office and said to him, "Originally, our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army stopped recruiting soldiers, but there are so many refugees coming to Shuang'ershan from all directions, and many of them want to join the army."
"They are such a poor bunch! There's famine in many parts of the country right now. If our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army doesn't help these people, many of them will starve to death."
"So, this commander has decided that our Shuang'ershan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will recruit one million soldiers for the final time. After this recruitment, we will not recruit any more soldiers until we completely occupy Mongolia and the Russians' territory."
"Therefore, the training of these one million new recruits will be the responsibility of your Imperial Guards. I demand strict training and no slacking off in military training."
"These one million new recruits will all serve as reserve forces in the future."
"Yes...Comrade Commander, the Imperial Guards will guarantee to complete the mission." Imperial Guards Commander Li Fei answered loudly.
Then Zhou Zheng called the commander of the logistics army, Qian Duoduo, and ordered Qian Duoduo to distribute 5 kilograms of cornmeal to each civilian who fled to Shuang'er Mountain, and then set up hundreds of large pots to cook cornmeal porridge for these refugees, so that these civilians could have enough to eat and not starve to death.
When we have completely conquered Mongolia in the future, if they are willing to settle down in Mongolia, we will give them land and build houses for them.
"Yes...Comrade Commander, the Logistics Army will guarantee the completion of the mission." Logistics Army Commander Qian Duoduo answered loudly.
