Devil's Army

Mr. Guo said with a sad face:

"Sir, I don't want this cow anymore."

"Niu, you're just right, thank you, we can just add more dishes."

"Then can we also waive the two thousand dollars as compensation for your soldiers?"

"You gave us more food because you didn't want the cow anymore. This is a show of support for our anti-Japanese soldiers. I have already expressed my gratitude to you on behalf of the soldiers. But it is also an established fact that your cow caused harm to our soldiers. You must not waive compensation for this."

When Captain Li heard that the rich man Guo's cow had injured Captain Lu's ten soldiers, he saw that Captain Lu didn't seem to be joking and asked with concern:

"The soldier who was gored by the bull is okay, right?"

"How can it be nothing serious? Of the ten soldiers who were gored by the bull, three had their hair knocked out, three had their nails knocked out, two were startled, and two were so scared that they jumped."

When Captain Li heard this, he smiled. His worry was in vain.

At this time, Mr. Guo already knew that the military officer was deliberately looking for trouble. But in order to reduce the loss, he proposed to take the cow back.

Upon hearing this, the Second Regiment Commander flew into a rage and cursed:

"How can you go back on your word? You just said no, and I thanked you, but now you want it again?"

Mr. Guo was shocked.

Why did this military officer in front of him suddenly get so angry when he had always been so amiable? He didn't dare to ask for the cow anymore, and quickly got up and said goodbye. If he stayed any longer, he might lose his life.

Who knew that just as he left, the second commander called him again:

"If you send the compensation today, you will have to pay double the amount tomorrow."

Mr. Guo was just about to leave when suddenly his tenant ran up to the second commander, knelt down and shouted:

"Master, I want to be a soldier, will you accept me?"

Mr. Guo is a very cruel person when he beats people. He has caused such a big trouble today. Will Mr. Guo forgive him when he goes back?

"how old are you?"

“I’m sixteen.”

"We have to be over 18 to join the army. Can you wait two years?"

If he waited two years, he might end up in a mass grave outside the village. In a hurry, he grabbed the hem of the second regiment commander's trousers and said anxiously:

"I have been cutting grass and herding cattle since I was a child. I can do many things. In two years, I will be 18 years old."

At this time, the rich man Guo pulled the tenant farmer over viciously and shouted:

"Didn't you hear what the military commander said? You are still young. Come back to the army in two years."

The tenant farmer looked at the second captain with disappointment.

"Wait, he's still young. He's a good orderly for me. I want him. Keep him. When you bring the money this afternoon, bring his things along."

The tenant farmer immediately knelt down before the second commander and kowtowed like pounding garlic. He kept saying:

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..."

This time, Mr. Guo really lost both his wife and his army. He just lost 2000 yuan, and now he has lost a tenant farmer. But he must leave this hellhole as soon as possible, otherwise he doesn't know what will happen.

Who knew that before he turned around and left the headquarters, the second regiment commander started yelling at him again:

"Wait a minute..."

"General, do you have any other instructions?" Mr. Guo asked in a low voice while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"How many months' wages does he still have to pay you? Don't you have to pay him?"

"Here, here. It's been more than two months since I last received my wages. One month is two dollars, so more than two months is five dollars."

After saying this, Mr. Guo reluctantly took out a handful of dollars from his pocket and wanted to count out five to give to the tenant farmer.

The second commander stepped forward, grabbed the money from Mr. Guo's hand and said:

"He can't count, and neither can I. So a little less is a little less."

Mr. Guo's heart was bleeding, because that handful of silver was more than five dollars, at least more than ten. But he didn't dare to say anything, he just wanted to leave this hellhole as soon as possible, and he would never dare to come to the headquarters again.

When Mr. Guo left the headquarters, Captain Li couldn't help but burst into laughter, holding his stomach.

It was already noon. The second commander handed the tenant farmer to a guard and said to Commander Li:

"Come on, Li Tuan. I'm in a good mood today. I'd like to treat you to a meal."

"Now that I've made 2000 dollars, I can afford to eat out?"

"You're overthinking it. The compensation is public money. I'm treating you to a meal with my military pay. My military pay is definitely higher than yours. Come on, let's eat and talk."

The area around Shenzhou City has just been recovered, and the public security is not very good.

The soldiers had reported to him that at least two Japanese scouts had been spotted coming to investigate, but because they had not deployed surveillance in advance, they both escaped.

This time, Captain Li came to see the Second Captain to discuss how to unite the villagers in various villages, establish militias in the villages, and jointly defend and control the situation with the troops.

So he didn't refuse and went to a restaurant with the second captain.
