I, the director of the clothing factory, have unlimited soldiers!

The brigade commander suppressed his anger and said with a hint of sarcasm.

Qin Hai's request did not seem excessive, but as soon as he spoke, the brigade commander became anxious like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"How dare you ask that? Two companies of veterans, why don't you just go and rob them?"

I thought I was mentally prepared.

But unexpectedly,

Qin Hai's face is thicker than a city wall. How could he make such a request?

"Ahem, don't be angry, Brigadier General. Just listen to me."

Hearing that the brigade commander on the other side seemed to be about to explode with anger, Qin Hai's tone was not anxious at all. Instead, he said with a bit of innocence:

"I don't want the entire company to be fully staffed. I don't want a company commander or an instructor. I just need these two companies to be equipped with basic platoon leaders and squad leaders."

Qin Hai stated the conditions in one breath.

honestly,

This request is already very fair. Even if it is an equal exchange, the brigade commander will definitely make a profit.

However, it is obvious that there are few veterans on the battlefield now, which is a well-known fact. How could the brigade commander let go easily?

"You kid, forget about getting two company veterans. At most I can assign you one company veteran, at most a deputy platoon leader. This is my biggest concession!"

When saying this, the brigade commander's tone was extremely firm.

To know,

On the battlefield, veterans are as valuable as gold. As the Eighth Route Army continues to expand, the importance of these veterans is self-evident.

Qin Hai asked for two companies right away, which was simply a fantasy.

When Qin Hai heard this, a smile appeared on his face. The brigade commander's answer was completely within his expectations.

Regarding the negotiation,

The first thing to do is to ask for a sky-high price. In order to gain the greatest benefit, you naturally have to raise the price. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, at least you can squeeze out the maximum value.

of course,

Qin Hai learned this set of skills from Li Yunlong. In comparison, Qin Hai is now much thicker-skinned than Li Yunlong.

"Commander, since this won't work, I have another idea. I don't need a whole company of veterans. You can give me half a company of soldiers, plus two hundred new soldiers. It's been a bit difficult to recruit soldiers recently, and I hope the leaders can support me."

At this time,

Qin Hai did make a compromise, but his words were decisively rejected by the brigade commander.

"no!"

Qin Hai's requests were not excessive, but the brigade commander disagreed, not because he was stingy.

At present, the number of the Eighth Route Army is increasing. Even the veterans are treasures to the brigade commander, not to mention the first battalion led by Qin Hai.

Even the headquarters of the 386th Brigade is now extremely short of veterans.

A company of veterans doesn't sound like a lot.

But if we add new recruits and cadre instructors to expand it into a main force regiment of one thousand people, it would be a piece of cake.

So,

The importance of battlefield veterans is clear without much explanation, and this is exactly why the brigade commander insisted on not agreeing to Qin Hai's request.

the other side,

Seeing his former leader’s firm attitude, Qin Hai didn’t know what to do for a moment.

to be frank,

The conditions he proposed were actually not excessive, and he did not expect the brigade commander to be so firm.

The brigade commander seemed to have heard no movement on the other end of the phone, his face relaxed a little, and he proposed a new plan:

"You want veterans, right? Well, I'll give you a company of veterans, but I won't give you company commanders or platoon leaders. I'll only give you squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, plus a company of new recruits consisting of two hundred new soldiers. What do you think?"

At this time, the brigade commander had relaxed and realized that he had cut too much before.

However,

Veterans on the battlefield are as valuable as gold, and this is not just a casual statement.

Both he and Qin Hai knew that this batch of equipment was worth at most two main companies. As long as the price did not exceed this, everything could be negotiated.

After hearing the brigade commander's proposal, Qin Hai's eyes did not show any sign of excitement.

Veterans are important, of course.

But without the company commander and platoon leader, it would be just an empty shell. After thinking about it, Qin Hai's eyes gradually brightened.

"Old leader, how about this?" Qin Hai took a deep breath, his eyes more determined. "Since the old leaders value veterans so much, I'll change the conditions. You give me two rows of veterans, but each row must have a squad of veteran Red Army soldiers, and give me three hundred new soldiers. How about that?"

To be honest,

Qin Hai's condition was more than just a cut in half. Compared to the previous two companies of veterans, only two platoons were needed, which was indeed not excessive.

When the brigade commander on the other end of the phone heard this, he hesitated slightly.

This guy,

Why are you suddenly making such a big concession?

Based on his understanding of this kid, Qin Hai is not so easy to talk to, so how could he let him take such a big advantage?

"Are you telling the truth, kid?"

After hesitating, the brigade commander asked this question, feeling that something was wrong.

one way or another,

Qin Hai was also a veteran he had trained before. Based on his understanding of this guy, how could he give in so easily?

The brigade commander seemed unconvinced.

Qin Hai raised a smile and proposed one last condition:

"Of course it's true, but you still have to meet my request. My cavalry squadron is in need of a captain. I hope you can send a cavalry captain to lead my cavalry squadron."

Having said that, Qin Hai did not hide anything and directly stated his intentions.

but,

This time he didn't just ask for someone randomly, but named him.

"Who do you want?" the brigade commander on the other end of the phone asked hesitantly. If this was the only condition this guy had, there would be no problem with the deal.

but,

The brigade commander is certainly not stupid. This guy suddenly brought up the idea, so he probably already has a candidate in mind.

"Hehe, it's still the old leader who understands me. There is a man named Sun Desheng in the New 1st Regiment. I know he was a veteran cavalryman. I hope you can hand him over to me and let him be the captain of the cavalry squadron of my First Battalion!" Qin Hai smiled without hiding anything.

Sun Desheng,

He is a natural born cavalryman, and he is not famous yet. Even if someone knows him, it doesn’t matter.

right now,

Qin Hai wanted to win over this talent.

"Sun Desheng?" the brigade commander asked a little puzzled. He had never heard of this name.

but,

He readily agreed, and said that if there really was such a person in the New 1st Regiment, he would be transferred to the First Battalion himself, thus completing the deal with this guy!

"Then we'll do as you say. Two rows of veteran soldiers, plus three hundred new recruits, and the one you mentioned, Sun Desheng."

The brigade commander repeated it again, repeatedly urging Qin Hai to hurry up.

after all,

The news that Qin Hai had seized the cavalry battalion's equipment would probably soon reach his superiors and other brother units.

By the time,

I'm afraid he is not the only one eyeing this batch of equipment.

Hearing this, Qin Hai patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will have someone send the horse equipment over tomorrow morning!"

that's it,

After the deal was agreed upon, Qin Hai hung up the phone with satisfaction, the smile on his face never disappearing.

“Haha, I made money!”

The horses and equipment of a cavalry battalion were exchanged for two rows of veteran soldiers, a company of three hundred recruits, and the cavalry squadron leader Sun Desheng.

On the surface, it looked like Qin Hai was at a disadvantage.
