"If it is a temporary appointment, there will be no problem..." the commander-in-chief affirmed.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and said, "Wang Ping, since the Deputy Commander and Minister Li have fallen in love with you, then you should do it well and don't be embarrassed. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly!"

"You don't know, the equipment you brought helped me a lot!"

"In no time, the Yan'an Left-behind Corps will form the first artillery battalion in history."

"The Wang Huzi in front, which is Suide Garrison District, has also formed an infantry artillery company and a mortar company..."

"There are also those light and heavy machine guns that directly increase the firepower of the left-behind Corps and all troops in Suide Garrison District to a higher level!"

"I also thought of how to use the five hundred submachine guns. Give Wang Huzi one hundred, one hundred left-behind corps, one hundred cavalry units northwest Yan'an, and two hundred equipment and guard regiments directly under the command..."

Minister Li also interfered: "Those supplies and funds have also helped me a lot!"

"The gold and silver finance worth more than one million oceans, besides the direct inventory of gold and US dollars, the remaining oceans, fiat currencies and yen are enough for us to spend nearly half a year!"

"Also, when it comes to these funds, I thought of a telegram from the Eighth Route Army headquarters a few months ago, hoping that we would exchange all the legal currency at hand for materials and oceans, and it doesn't matter even if we lose a little. If I remember correctly, this suggestion seems to be made by Wang Ping!"

"We discussed it for a while and decided to accept this suggestion. Looking back now, I feel a little scared!"

"As soon as we used all the fiat currency in our hands, the fiat currency in Chongqing began to depreciate!"

"A few months ago, four or five yuan of fiat currency could be exchanged for a piece of ocean. Now, even ten yuan of fiat currency can be exchanged for a piece of ocean!"

"Wang Ping, you don't know. Just because of your suggestion, the Eighth Route Army and the Commander did not reduce the losses of hundreds of thousands of oceans!"

Wang Ping replied with a serious face: "If I did not make a mistake, the fiat currency will continue to be compiled!"

"The economic situation in Chongqing is not much better than ours, but they have to support several times more or even dozens of times more troops than us. Without money, if you want to support so many troops, there is only one way to print fiat currency on a large scale~"

"If this situation continues to develop, I estimate that at most a year, fiat currency will turn into waste paper because of a large number of stocks!"

Minister Li replied with admiration: "Yes, your judgment is exactly the same as the judgments of several old professors of the Ministry of Economics!"

Then he continued: "Deputy Commander, I said from the beginning that Wang Ping's ability in economics is not worse than that in military affairs. Now it seems that he has reached the level of those old professors!"

"I still insist on the initial proposal to transfer Wang Ping out of the army and to the Ministry of Economics, and directly let him serve as deputy minister!"

"I remember that Wang Ping was just a regiment commander and a regiment-level cadre in the army. The deputy minister of the Ministry of Economics is a division-level cadre. As long as the deputy commander, you nod, I am sure Wang Ping will agree!"

Minister Li became more and more excited as he spoke. Facing Wang Ping, he forgot the commander-in-chief next to him, and was digging his corner in front of the commander-in-chief.

The deputy commander didn't say anything, but looked embarrassed.

Just now, he promised the commander-in-chief that Wang Ping would be a special consultant in the Ministry of Economic Affairs, but it was just a temporary appointment. Minister Li followed closely and exposed his true intentions.

"Old Li, have you finished speaking?" The commander-in-chief was not angry, but asked with a smile and a confident look on his face.

Minister Li quickly explained: "Commander-in-Chief, I don't want to dig your corner!"

"But you also know that there are too few talents in our economic field. We finally found a talent, and it was an old revolutionary, an old Red Army, an old party member... I couldn't help but ~"

"And Wang Ping only has one regiment commander in the army, and some cadres can hold him up. But it is different from the Ministry of Economics. The Ministry of Economics has only a few deputy ministers. If he wants him to be the deputy minister, he will definitely be able to better exert his talents!"

The commander-in-chief asked, "I heard it... Lao Li, your words are actually very simple. Wang Ping's use in the Ministry of Economics is greater than in the army!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Minister Li replied with a tough bullet.

The deputy commander only manages the economy, and he also wants the talent of Wang Ping, but it is difficult to talk to the commander-in-chief.

Now that Minister Li has helped me speak, and it is reasonable and well-founded, the deputy commander-in-chief also wants to know how the commander-in-chief explains.

If the explanation cannot be understood, I would not have much objection to transfer Wang Ping, a talent from the army to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

The commander-in-chief's face did not change at all, and he still looked like he was sure to win, and then stared at the deputy commander-in-chief and Minister Li and asked back.

"Yes, Wang Ping is indeed a regiment commander, a regiment-level cadre in the army, and a colonel commander appointed by Chongqing. But do you know how many troops Wang Ping has, how big the base he has established, and how many Japanese deceased at his army?"

"In this way, Wang Ping is here, let him report to you by himself, which is more convincing!"

"Yes~ Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Ping hesitated and replied: "When I left the base, the total strength of the main force of the new first regiment had exceeded 15,000, and it was almost 19,000."

"When the new 1st regiment reaches full capacity, the total strength of the main force will reach 18,000!"

"In addition to the local garrison troops, the total strength of all anti-Japanese armed forces in the base area will reach 25,000!"

"As for the base area, it has reached nine counties. And it is still expanding..."

"Is this still a regiment?" Minister Li couldn't help but exclaim!

"If I remember correctly, there are not so many troops in many other base areas~"

"Commander-in-Chief, since Wang Ping already has so many troops and the base area is so large, why is Wang Ping still just a regiment commander? According to his military merits and qualifications, there is no problem in becoming a division commander!"

The commander-in-chief nodded and affirmed: "Yes, in my eyes and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Wang Ping has long been our division-level cadre!"

"The reason why he was not promoted was because of another identity of Wang Ping, the colonel leader!"

"Wang Ping is the colonel leader appointed by Chongqing, and he was appointed by Chongqing himself. With him in charge of southwest Shanxi, he can do many other troops that cannot do!"

"Although he is just a regiment commander, for our Eighth Route Army, he is a magic needle that is stabbed in southwest Shanxi..."

Both Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Minister Li have experienced the old revolutionary waves, and they can immediately hear the implicit meaning in the commander-in-chief's words.

After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, Minister Li was reluctant and heartbroken, but he still made a decision: "Commander-in-chief, I don't know these. Since Wang Ping's role is so great, he must continue to stay in the army!"

"However, while he was studying in Yan'an, he had to work on the position of special consultant!"
