100,000 yuan, not to mention, is ten times more than the 10,000 yuan Old Jiang offered.
And there are 50,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, enough to support the 399th Brigade in a low-intensity battle.
This is still based on the 399th Brigade's lavish fighting style. If it were other miscellaneous warlord armies, they could fight several battles with a little saving!
Besides the aforementioned rewards in the commendation order, Yan Laoxi also provided 100 Jin-made Thompson submachine guns and 10,000 rounds of matching ammunition, a small bleed.
100 Jin-made Thompson submachine guns, before the Japanese invasion, when Yan Laoxi still controlled the Taiyuan Arsenal, were nothing special.
Back then, Yan Laoxi was rich and powerful. The Taiyuan Arsenal could even manufacture heavy artillery, not just Thompson submachine guns.
But times have changed. With the fall of most of Shanxi province, the Taiyuan Arsenal has basically fallen into Japanese hands.
Yan Laoxi's days are getting worse every year.
Taking out 100 Thompson submachine guns is a bit of a pain for him.
These can't be produced anymore, they're one less with each use!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xiao Yun's face, and he tucked the gift list into his pocket without any embarrassment: "Then thank Commander Yan for me!"
His 399th Brigade is currently operating in Shanxi province, and according to the war zone division, it belongs to Yan Laoxi's Second War Zone.
In other words, he's working for Yan Laoxi, and this is just his wages.
With the same spending, his 399th Brigade can fight much better than those Jin-Sui Army troops that Yan Laoxi keeps. Why would he be embarrassed to take it?
In Xiao Yun's eyes, except for a few generals like Chu Yun Fei in the Jin-Sui Army, the rest are all good-for-nothings.
If he were in charge, with the Jin-Sui Army's powerful weaponry and equipment at the beginning of the war, even without air power.
He would never have lost almost all of Shanxi province so quickly, leaving only a few insignificant small counties.
Without saying anything else, he would make the Japanese lose several divisions here, or he would write the character 'Xiao' upside down.
.............................
Seeing Xiao Yun's practiced movements in accepting the gift list, the Jin-Sui Army colonel couldn't help but smile.
It's good to be able to take gifts, the worst is someone who doesn't take them!
He immediately subtly expressed Yan Laoxi's intention to recruit Xiao Yun.
But Xiao Yun pretended not to hear him, beating around the bush and refusing to respond.
The Jin-Sui Army colonel had no choice but to speak frankly, saying that if Xiao Yun could bring the 399th Brigade to change allegiances and join Yan Laoxi's Jin-Sui Army.
Yan Laoxi would promote Xiao Yun by two ranks, promising him a position as an army commander.
Xiao Yun burst into laughter. He had joined the team early on, during the early stages of the business, and had participated in the Yuzhang Uprising. In other words, he had original stock!
Would he give up his bright future and go to mingle with a local warlord? That would be a step backward!
Not even Yan Laoxi, even Chiang Kai-shek's olive branch he has rejected countless times.
He, Xiao Yun, is a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy's 3rd term, nominally a student of Chiang Kai-shek, participated in the Northern Expedition, and even saved Chiang Kai-shek's life during the Northern Expedition.
With this kind of relationship, the treatment Chiang Kai-shek offered Xiao Yun was much better than what Yan Laoxi could offer.
Commander of a German-equipped elite division, in terms of status, even higher than some ordinary army commanders in the Central Army.
Compared to miscellaneous local forces, it's simply incomparable!
Even with these conditions, Xiao Yun wouldn't be tempted in the slightest. How dare Yan Laoxi think that he would bring the 399th Brigade to mix with the Jin-Sui Army?
Just for these peanuts he offered?
Besides his own career, he would never join the National Government.
As a person from the future, he knows very well.
Once Chiang Kai-shek finally takes control, the Huajiajun will have no hope of revival and will completely become the younger brother of the United States.
And at that time, China's class issues, warlord issues, opium issues, etc. will not be improved at all.
After all, Chiang Kai-shek himself is a beneficiary of this system, how could he be determined to cut his own flesh?
Moreover, Xiao Yun doesn't think joining the National Government can change anything.
What kind of person is Chairman Mao?
Even Xiao Yun, who doesn't particularly believe in heroic individualism, thinks he is a great man who is completely beyond reason and time.
His appearance kicked the entire wheel of history back a century like a football.
It erased 200 years of backwardness in China and laid a social foundation for the next 200 years that is almost impossible to go wrong.
So what's the point of him following Chiang Kai-shek?
To end up in Taiwan and learn to speak Taiwanese?
Moreover, with him in this life, it's still a question whether Chiang Kai-shek can successfully escape to Taiwan!
