Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chen Yan picked up the phone and did not give the brigade commander a chance to speak, and quickly shut him up with words.

"Brigade Commander, congratulations on your fortune!"

The brigade commander was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, muttering to himself:

I'm rich? Why does this guy seem to be stealing my lines?

Seeing that there was no sound from the other end of the phone, Chen Yan quickly said:

"Brigade Commander, you are busy with all kinds of things every day, but you still personally care about such a small matter. I have prepared the two cavalry companies and I will deliver them to you personally right away."

The brigade commander listened to Chen Yan's words and didn't know what to say, so he just said casually: "Okay."

Chen Yan then said: "Brigade Commander, I have to criticize you."

The brigade commander was completely confused by Chen Yan and thought to himself: "What's the matter? You kid still wants to criticize me, this is lawless."

Before the brigade commander could come to his senses, Chen Yan continued:

"Brigade Commander, you can't do everything yourself in the future. What if you exhaust yourself? Then the sky will fall for our 386th Brigade."

"You must take good care of yourself in the future, otherwise I will go to the leader and report you for not taking care of your health."

"Forget it. Just be careful about this next time. Don't let me say it a second time. I'll send you military horses later."

After saying that, Chen Yan hung up the phone, and the brigade commander was completely dumbfounded holding the microphone.

What’s the matter? I didn’t say a word, but let this kid talk on for a long time.

Is Chen Yan criticizing me? Why are his words so pleasant to the ear?

Eh? Is it because I have done too much work and my colleagues are too impatient?

No, this guy is flattering me!

Hahaha, you are great, Chen Yan, your flattery is impeccable.

This kid is quite sensible. He knows when there is benefit, so he quickly presents it to me. If all the leaders below were like him, wouldn't my life be much better?

Chen Yan hung up the phone and looked at the dumbfounded Zhao Gang with a smug look on his face.

"Old Zhao, you see I didn't lie to you. The cavalry battalion was really wanted by the brigade commander, and I had to deliver it to the brigade before it even got warm in my hands."

At this time, Zhao Gang's face turned red, and he said word by word:

"Captain Chen, you are really good at flattering people."

Chen Yan took Zhang Dabiao to the brigade headquarters to deliver military horses, but Zhao Gang insisted on going with them.

Halfway through the journey, Zhao Gang asked:

"Captain, please tell me in detail what is going on with your business dealings with the brigade commander."

"Mobilizing troops without permission is a big deal. Why doesn't the brigade commander do anything about it?"

Hearing this, Chen Yan smiled proudly.

"Old Zhao, I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but you intellectuals are all stubborn."

"We, the Eighth Route Army, are Chairman Chiang's adopted children. We are not close to him. We have no equipment or supplies. If we want to fight, we have to find a way ourselves."

"You should be happy that you were assigned to our independent regiment. Those are all the assets I brought from the Black Cloud Village. But what about other troops? Some teams don't even have one gun for every three people. Why are you still flattering the brigade commander?"

"I think that to be a regiment commander, one must be able to get equipment. Self-sufficiency is also the spirit of the central government's instructions. We can't trouble the brigade commander for everything, otherwise what are we regiment commanders for?"

"Therefore, the brigade commander is also happy about this. It's a matter of turning a blind eye. As his team grows stronger, he can also benefit from it and everyone can achieve common prosperity."

"But when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, Old Chen will not be careless. He will ask for instructions and report everything that needs to be done."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang suddenly realized, and he said:

"Old Chen, now I understand the true meaning of your business dealings with the brigade commander. No wonder the brigade commander lets you, an outsider, be the leader of the main regiment. You see things very clearly. I will learn more from you in the future."

Chen Yan put on airs again and said:

"No problem. Lao Zhao, you're a nice person. I'm going to make you a sniper rifle as a new job gift in a couple of days."

"Make guns? You mean you can produce guns? Really? I'm afraid even our Shuiyaozi Arsenal can't do it."

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Gang proudly: "Old Zhao, just go ahead, everything is possible with me, Chen Yan."

Then he added meaningfully: "I really envy you for having such a good partner like me."

At the same time, Little Leo immediately returned to the New 1st Regiment and told Ding Wei what happened in Wanjia Town last night.

Ding Wei looked at the rejected telegram and cursed with gnashing teeth:

"You are a loser. You got cheated and yet you are still helping others count their money."

"Get out of here! You can't be the battalion commander anymore."

After Little Leo left with a resentful look on his face, Ding Wei clenched his fists and looked ahead.

"You are such a shameless person, Chen Yan. I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. Today I have finally witnessed that there are people who can swallow back what they have vomited."

"This matter is not over yet, let's wait and see."

On the other side, after Chen Yan and Zhao Gang arrived at the brigade headquarters, Chen Yan puffed out his chest and strode in.

"My dear brigade commander, Little Chenzi is here to pay his respects to you."

The brigade commander was not angry at Chen Yan's boasting. Instead, he smiled and said:

"You kid are here, see how capable you are. If the eaves of my brigade headquarters were any lower, there would be no room for you."

The brigade commander asked the two men to sit down. Chen Yan respectfully lit a cigarette for the brigade commander, and the three began to talk about what happened in Wanjia Town.

At this time, Chen Yan stared at the brigade commander and said:

"Brigade Commander, you have accepted the things. As the saying goes, you should be willing to do something for me."

"Captain Ding, I'm going to trouble you to settle this matter. You know me, and I definitely don't hold grudges. But I don't know if Captain Ding can consider the overall situation. Please don't damage the harmony between the brother troops."

The brigade commander snorted after hearing this.

"You still don't hold a grudge? You really are good at taking advantage of others."

"You have a bunch of shit on your butt and you still have to clean it up for you."

"Brigade Commander, we are now in the same boat, so you have to take care of this matter. Besides, even if the New 1st Regiment gets this batch of military horses, can Ding Wei give you a share? It must be kept secret."

"Well, you are a good kid. You know how to share benefits, unlike those people below who are like the local rich people in Shanxi, who are stingy."

"So what are you going to do about this?"

"It's easy. This is the order given to you by the brigade headquarters, and you are just following orders."

After saying this, the brigade commander winked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan understood instantly, "The brigade commander is right. This is just following your imperial decree. I wonder who dares to say no."

Then the brigade commander called the radio operator.

"Send a telegram to the independent regiment, ordering them to go to Wanjia Town to attack the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade. The time must be noted as last night."

The radio operator looked at the brigade commander in surprise, then looked at Chen Yan and said:

"Brigade Commander, did the order say the time was last night?"

At this time, Chen Yan pushed the radio operator and said: "Brigade Commander, you just do whatever I tell you to do. You are so tactless."

The brigade commander said with a sly smile: "Captain Chen, are you satisfied this time?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied. This time even the chain of evidence is complete. If the New 1st Regiment comes to cause trouble, I will slap the order in their faces."

Immediately afterwards, the brigade commander and Chen Yan burst into laughter.

Zhao Gang, who was standing by, had three black lines on his forehead.

It seems that as long as there are benefits, they can really wear the same pants. "
