810 New Position
Ye Qingshan frowned at Chen Cheng's request.
This request was completely nonsense. He had already led his troops abroad, but the headquarters still wanted to limit the total number of troops of his 42nd Army.
Does this make sense?
To put it bluntly, Ye Qingshan only needs to lead the troops to fight abroad.
His 42nd Army can expand as many troops as it wants, and even if the headquarters wants to interfere, it will be of no use.
Perhaps, this is precisely why the High Command is worried about this.
They are still afraid that Ye Qingshan will become bigger and stronger abroad and may still become a huge threat.
Therefore, Chen Cheng proposed to limit the total strength of the 42nd Army.
But Ye Qingshan would never agree to 200,000 people.
Ye Qingshan shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Commander Chen, our 42nd Army now has more than people.
Could it be that if I lead my army abroad to fight the Japanese, you would just not give me any support?
Do you want us to cut off one of our arms?
This request is really too much, I can't agree to it."
Seeing Ye Qingshan getting angry, Chen Cheng quickly persuaded him, "Brother Ye, don't worry.
Two hundred thousand is just our proposal.
How many troops do you think are appropriate? There has to be a number."
Ye Qingshan also knew that there had to be a number.
Although, the restraining force of the total number of troops is not very great.
"Half a million."
Then, Ye Qingshan stretched out five fingers and said.
Chen Cheng was shocked when Ye Qingshan mentioned the total number of troops, which was 500,000.
At this moment, Ye Qingshan's 42nd Army with troops was so capable of fighting.
If Ye Qingshan were allowed to expand the army to 500,000, even if Ye Qingshan led his troops to Myanmar, the senior officials at the headquarters would be unable to sleep or eat.
It’s terrifying to think about the 500,000 elite troops under Ye Qingshan’s command.
Mainly, Myanmar is not very far away, it is close to Yunnan Province.
Who knows, when Ye Qingshan has more troops and horses, will he fight back?
Chen Cheng immediately shook his head: "Impossible, with a total force of 500,000, I simply cannot convince the headquarters to agree.
Three hundred thousand at most, that’s the limit.
Brother Ye, please don't make things difficult for me."
When Ye Qingshan heard Chen Cheng say this, he knew that three hundred thousand should be the limit they could agree to.
Then, he stopped arguing with Chen Cheng.
Anyway, in Ye Qingshan's opinion, 300,000 and 500,000 mean almost the same to him.
“Okay, then three hundred thousand.
But this does not include my vigilante group at home.
As for the domestic militia, I can guarantee that defense will be the main focus in the future.
We will no longer actively expand our base, and the total strength of the militia will be controlled within 100,000 men."
Ye Qingshan would not allow the domestic militia to occupy his 300,000 troops.
Chen Cheng heard Ye Qingshan's promise that their base in the country would never expand outward again.
He also breathed a sigh of relief. This guarantee was very important to him.
With Ye Qingshan's guarantee, he could be sure to convince the headquarters to agree to Ye Qingshan's conditions.
"can."
Finally Chen Cheng nodded.
By this time, the negotiation points of both parties have basically been discussed.
"Brother Ye, go back and wait for news.
Tomorrow, I will get you the appointment letter from the High Command appointing you as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force."
Chen Cheng smiled and the two of them shook hands together.
After Ye Qingshan left, Chen Cheng immediately and excitedly sent a telegram to the headquarters.
Report the results of the negotiation between him and Ye Qingshan.
In addition, he requested the headquarters' approval and then issued a new job transfer order to Ye Qingshan.
"Sir, will the headquarters agree to the result you and Commander Ye have reached?"
The adjutant beside him asked worriedly.
“Humph, if anyone from the headquarters objects, let him come and talk to Ye Qingshan himself.
I won’t serve you anymore.”
Chen Cheng snorted coldly and said,
Although, he was also worried that there might be some short-sighted guys at the headquarters.
Opposed the conditions he had agreed upon with Ye Qingshan this time.
But Chen Cheng knew that these negotiation results were the best results he could reach with Ye Qingshan.
If anyone else were to come, the result would definitely not be any better than this.
Therefore, if anyone at the command dares to object.
He was just going to quit his job and whoever wanted to talk to him could come.
Anyway, he doesn't want to serve anymore.
In that case, even if the Central Army and Ye Qingshan’s 42nd Army really turned against each other and started fighting, he would not be the sinner.
“This time, Ye Qingshan only wants some righteous reputation.
They were also willing to go abroad to Southeast Asia in the name of our country to cooperate with the Allied forces in fighting the Japanese invaders.
This will greatly strengthen our country's position among the Allies.
But we don't need to pay any actual benefits.
Not to mention military pay, even weapons and equipment were purchased by Ye Qingshan himself.
Things have come to this, so how can we make excessive demands on others?
I really thought that Ye Qingshan was a kind person.
If you really push this guy into a corner, he will start to act like a troublemaker and not everyone can subdue him."
Chen Cheng sighed.
Until midnight, Chen Cheng had not received a call back from Shancheng.
This really made Chen Cheng anxious.
"Damn it, there won't be any real objections from the High Command."
Chen Cheng's face darkened.
Based on his understanding of the senior officials in the headquarters, the ones most likely to oppose were the group headed by He Yingqin.
Chen Cheng also knew that after his telegram was sent back.
The high command must be holding a meeting to discuss this.
But by the evening, there was still no reply, which made him feel uneasy.
"Go and send another telegram to the High Command.
Just say that if they don’t agree, I’ll fly back tomorrow morning.
Later on, they can send whoever they want to talk to Ye Qingshan.
If they want to fight, it’s up to them.”
Chen Cheng deliberately sent this telegram as a disguised way to put pressure on the headquarters.
Three hours after the new telegram was sent, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Chen Cheng finally received a reply from the headquarters.
"Hahaha!"
After reading the telegram, Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh with joy.
The headquarters finally agreed to the negotiation results between Chen Cheng and Ye Qingshan.
After dawn, Chen Cheng drove directly to Ye Qingshan's residence.
After seeing Ye Qingshan, Chen Cheng said happily: "Brother Ye, congratulations.
You are now the new commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.
The High Command has agreed to all the agreements we reached yesterday.
We will try to complete the rotation within two weeks.
A month later, your 42nd Army set off to fight abroad again.
OK? "
After listening to this, Ye Qingshan smiled and said, "One month is enough."
Ye Qingshan also knew that the headquarters was eager for this, so he led his troops abroad immediately.
Now, Ye Qingshan was already very surprised that the other party could give their army a month to prepare.
