The battle was over.
After the tank was destroyed, the German soldiers who appeared out of nowhere hastily retreated.
After the battle, the first thing to do was to treat the wounded and count the results.
Three died and four were injured, and Li Changgeng himself was among the injured.
What about the German soldiers?
A tank was destroyed, five crew members were killed, and five German infantrymen were left behind.
"3 to 10, a great victory in the first battle!"
Soon, the battle report of the 13th search team spread among the task force. It seemed to be just an encounter battle that was not worth mentioning, but it was of great significance to the task force. After all, this was their first victory, and the opponent was the Germans.
Even Sun Delin, the head of the security team, was very happy when he took the battle report.
"Captain George, according to the usual casualty ratio, the German casualties should be around 20 people, plus the destruction of another tank, even if it was placed in China, it is worth writing about. I think the brothers of the 13th search team should be rewarded."
George did not immediately agree to Sun Delin's suggestion, but asked him to sit down, and then continued to draw something. After finally finishing the last stroke, he looked up at Sun Desen and said:
"Director Sun, our Zhenhua Company is a company..."
Hearing this, Sun Delin's mind sank. Just when he thought the company would not reward him, he heard the boss say.
"But we must also reward outstanding employees, and we are still on the battlefield. Well, I decided to select some people to print our own newspaper, which will publish our own news and commend outstanding employees. I think we should call it "Hua Bao". "
While speaking, George handed the newly drawn pattern to Sun Delin and said:
"This is the "Blue Dragon Medal" pattern I just designed. What do you think?"
"Medal?"
Sun Delin looked at the boss in surprise.
"Yes, words are not enough. Commendations always need proof. This medal is the proof of merit."
In fact, everything George did was for one purpose-to strengthen the team's sense of honor and collective belonging.
A decent salary can certainly attract people and win people's hearts, but the sense of belonging and honor of the group will make them truly integrate into the group and eventually become part of the group.
And at that time, this army will truly belong to you.
A beautifully printed newspaper, a detailed battlefield report, and a few photos, what does it bring?
It is honor!
Sometimes, honor is even more effective than money.
What is more effective is the pension. The newspaper also published the information of the three sacrificed members, and also mentioned that the company had paid a pension of $1,000, and according to the agreement signed between the company and the insurance company, their families will receive a $2,000 death insurance. It was not until this time that they knew that the company had purchased a life insurance for all the task force members.
3,000 US dollars!
It is definitely a huge sum of money in China. Many people can't earn so much money in their entire lives.
Faced with such a huge pension, everyone fell silent. Similarly, a strange emotion emerged in their hearts. For the first time, they had a sense of belonging to this collective.
After a small-scale encounter, the changes in the task force were obvious. To a certain extent, this was a transformation of the soul.
In the following days, the 23 search teams of the task force collected weapons left by the German army in various countries in France. After the Allies joined forces with Lyon, they even went all the way to Normandy to search for weapons in the reinforced concrete fortresses of the Atlantic defense line, dragging cannons out of the gun positions. These Russian or French cannons, which the Allies looked down upon, were rare heavy artillery for China.
There were many cannons, but the shells were very limited. After all, they were all captured spoils of war. Despite this, China was still shocked by the number of weapons and equipment found by the task force. While being surprised at the large number of weapons abandoned by the German army, there was still controversy over whether to send a second batch of personnel.
"...Because the dispatched personnel must have a high school education or above, there are very few educated young people in China. The youth army trained in China is already insufficient. If 20,000 more people are transferred, it will cause a shortage of youth army manpower, so it is opposed by all parties. Moreover, some people claim in the newspaper that the government's handing over of soldiers to foreign companies is actually equivalent to selling pigs, so there is a certain resistance now..."
As the director of the liaison office, Zhao Xiyong has been responsible for contacting the country. Originally, he was excited to ask the country to send people, but he didn't expect that there would be twists and turns.
"Selling pigs..."
George frowned. Although he had no intention of getting involved in domestic affairs, he needed people now.
After thinking about it, George said.
"You contact the country. What if we recruit personnel ourselves?"
"Recruit by ourselves?"
Zhao Xiyong said puzzledly.
"Yes, the company will send employees to recruit employees in China, and directly advertise our benefits in newspapers. A monthly salary of 20 US dollars and a battlefield allowance of 5 US dollars. I don't believe that such good benefits can't recruit 20,000 people."
Then, George emphasized again.
"Just put ads in those newspapers that say I'm a pig dealer, and pay the advertising fee in US dollars. I want to see if US dollars are a pain in the neck."
The boss's decision made Zhao Xiyong stunned, and then he said repeatedly.
"Chief George, if we put out an advertisement, based on our benefits, let alone 20,000, we can recruit even 200,000."
What is rich and powerful? George wants to let the country feel his arrogance this time. It's nothing more than a matter of money. Anyway, the United States will pay for it.
"Before departure, each person can be given a resettlement allowance of 50 US dollars."
Zhao Xiyong was surprised:
"Do you also give out US dollars in China?"
"Yes, we give out US dollars!"
George nodded and said:
"For the personnel sent to China, we can draw some staff from the Assam branch and let them take US dollars with them. No one will find US dollars difficult to handle."
The Assam branch was a custody agency established at the beginning of the year for the transportation of donated weapons. It has more than a thousand people. The person in charge of the branch is Zhu Yihai, who is also George's earliest team.
"Secretary Lin,"
George instructed the secretary again.
"Send a telegram to Manager Zhu, asking him to be personally responsible for this matter and make sure it is done well."
