Chapter 279 The most difficult help, I remember it!
Zhou Weimin's tone and attitude made Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie know that this was Zhou Weimin's true thoughts.
"Wei Min, I understand you, and I also understand your Tiger Guards and the way each unit treats us..."
"I just hope we'll have the opportunity to fight together in the future."
Brigade Commander Chen looked at Zhou Weimin, and seeing the expression on Zhou Weimin's face, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he slowly spoke to Zhou Weimin.
In fact, this result was much better than what Brigade Commander Chen had expected. Originally, Brigade Commander Chen had planned to completely withdraw from northwest Shanxi.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Weimin only asked the troops to withdraw, and those intelligence personnel and local armed forces did not need to be evacuated.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army can still develop in northwestern Shanxi, and because the Tiger Brigade occupies northwestern Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army may develop even faster in northwestern Shanxi.
But Brigade Commander Chen didn’t understand why Zhou Weimin allowed the Eighth Route Army to develop privately in northwestern Shanxi!
Zhou Weimin seemed to have seen what Brigadier General Chen was trying to say, so he slowly said to him, "Brigade General Chen, to be honest, my Tiger Guards are leaving Jin."
"Jin has never been the target of my Tiger Guards. That's why Commander Yan is willing to let me station my Tiger Guards in northwest Jin."
"After the Tiger Guards are expanded this time, I will launch a large-scale campaign against the devils in Jin."
"After the battle is over, I will lead the Tiger Guards out of Jin and head south to the Great South."
"So I can allow your unit to develop privately in northwest Shanxi, but I cannot openly provide you with any help."
Zhou Weimin thought for a long time and decided to reveal the news to Brigade Commander Chen.
After all, after the Tiger and Leopard Army swept across Shanxi, there were only the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Shanxi, and no threat from the Japanese.
There will definitely be conflicts between the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Let Brigadier General Chen know about this in advance so that they can be prepared.
After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Brigade Commander Chen immediately understood what he meant, and those puzzled questions were instantly answered.
Now Brigade Commander Chen understood why Zhou Weimin allowed them to develop privately in northwestern Shanxi.
I also understand why Zhou Weimin was unwilling to help them openly, because the south is now the defense zone of the Central Army.
The Huben Army must obey the orders of the Central Army, so why not just be perfunctory?
Of course, Brigade Commander Chen knew even better that Zhou Weimin had a good impression of them, and he should not underestimate this good impression.
This is a very important thing.
This means that the Tiger Guards will not be their enemy in the future, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Brigade Commander Chen was quite satisfied with this conversation and recognized Zhou Weimin.
"Wei Min, thank you. We will provide some assistance in recruiting soldiers for the Tiger Guards."
"Our troops in northwest Shanxi will also be evacuated as soon as possible. You can rest assured about this."
Brigade Commander Chen looked at Zhou Weimin, and said to him with joy and seriousness on his face.
"Commander Chen, thank you for your understanding. My Tiger Guards will definitely march south by the end of this year."
"However, our defense zone in northwest Shanxi will be returned to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. This is what Commander Yan and I agreed upon."
"My Tiger Guards will retain this base at Hutou Mountain for a few more years. I have already agreed with Commander Yan on this point."
After hearing what Brigade Commander Chen said, Zhou Weimin nodded slightly, then looked at Brigade Commander Chen and said.
There are still many factories inside Hutoushan, and it will take time to relocate them, so Zhou Weimin will keep Hutoushan for a few years.
Of course, once Zhou Weimin has established a foothold in Yunzhou and Guizhou provinces, he will move the factory there as soon as possible.
"I understand." After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said.
After the serious talk, the next thing was to reminisce about the past, of course mainly Zhou Weimin and Kong Jie promised to drink.
Kong Jie was a great help to Zhou Weimin, especially in helping him establish his ideas.
When Zhou Weimin was just reborn, he was fighting the Japanese, but as his army grew larger.
Zhou Weimin then realized that fighting the Japanese was easy, but dealing with matters between various troops was extremely difficult.
There were too many troops in China during this period. If these troops had been united, the Japanese would have been driven out of the country long ago.
However, these troops each had their own calculations, which made Zhou Weimin have no idea how to deal with it.
It also let Zhou Weimin know that the Tiger Guards could not just fight the Japanese, but had to gain a foothold.
It was at this time that Zhou Weimin began to think about his future path. After several conversations with Kong Jie, Zhou Weimin clarified his future path.
So in Zhou Weimin's view, it was Kong Jie who helped him establish his ideas, and Zhou Weimin was very grateful to Kong Jie for this.
"Captain Kong, this is the longest time we've been in contact since I came to Jin. I, Zhou Weimin, have always considered you, Kong Jie, my best friend."
"It was you, Captain Kong, who helped me during my most difficult time and helped me see the path to the future."
"You didn't ask for anything in return then, and I was also struggling, with nothing to repay you."
"Now that my Tiger Guards have developed, I can't give you any help. All I can give you is some armaments."
"German armaments are being consumed too much, and the logistical pressure is too great. I'm afraid your department will find it difficult to support it."
"The weapons seized from the Japanese during the Chidong County battle were all taken away by Sun Chu. This was also part of the deal between me and Commander Yan."
"But I still have some Japanese weapons in my Tiger Army warehouse. If you don't mind, Captain Kong, I'll give them to you."
Zhou Weimin looked at Kong Jie, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke to Kong Jie.
In fact, this was an idea that suddenly came to Zhou Weimin after chatting with Kong Jie for a while. Zhou Weimin didn't know why he had such an idea.
Perhaps he wanted to help the Eighth Route Army the most in his heart. After all, Zhou Weimin grew up in a red country.
"I don't mind. What do I have to mind? I really want it!" Kong Jie was slightly stunned after hearing Zhou Weimin's words, and then quickly said.
At this moment, Kong Jie felt a little ashamed. Kong Jie thought that Zhou Weimin's troops had become stronger and Zhou Weimin had changed.
But when chatting with Zhou Weimin this time, he found that Zhou Weimin had not changed at all and was still the Zhou Weimin he knew before.
He is still the same young man who is devoted to the war of resistance.
Kong Jie is different from Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong has no shame at all when it comes to weapons, but Kong Jie has dignity.
Every time Kong Jian came to chat with Zhou Weimin, Zhou Weimin would give Kong Jie some weapons.
This made Kong Jie very embarrassed. For a while, Kong Jie didn't dare to come to Zhou Weimin at all.
It was Zhou Weimin who sent people to invite Kong Jie.
This time, when Kong Jie learned that Zhou Weimin was getting married, he also brought gifts, which were some wooden weapon models made by Kong Jie himself.
Although it looks good, it is very simple and not made of good wood.
But Zhou Weimin liked him very much and felt Kong Jie's intentions. In fact, in Zhou Weimin's heart, Kong Jie was like his elder brother.
