My god, run!!!

After leaving the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment's artillery base, Zhou Zheng returned to the headquarters office and asked someone to call Zhao Hu to the headquarters office.

Zhou Zheng and Zhao Hu sat on the sofa. Zhou Zheng asked, "Hu Zi, is any of your classmates from the Military Academy reliable?"

"Brother, don't worry. This classmate of mine from the Military Academy is very reliable. He has a wide and deep network of connections in the National Army. His uncle is a senator of the Kuomintang, so don't worry, brother."

When Zhou Zheng heard what Zhao Hu said, he nodded and felt relieved.

However, Zhao Hu added, "It's just that my classmate has a big appetite, which means he's quite greedy."

Hahaha...

Zhou Zheng burst out laughing, then smiled at Zhao Hu and said, "Problems that can be solved with money are all minor problems. I'm not afraid of his big appetite or greed, but I'm afraid of his stubbornness. That's the real problem."

"Can you tell me about the specific situation of your classmate?"

"My classmate is quite capable, but he's very good at dealing with people. Although he graduated from the Military Academy, he's still a little behind those who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy."

"So he went to Shanghai through his uncle's connections and got a job in military logistics. And don't you know how successful he became after he got there."

"Because he's very good at dealing with people! He manages the entire military logistics, as well as the relationships with his uncle and his other uncles' colleagues, in perfect order."

"Some people are born to eat this dinner." Zhou Zheng said.

"That's not true."

"It's because he's doing well in the military logistics department in Shanghai and has a good network of contacts, so I told him about your plan to go to Shanghai. He guaranteed that there would be no problem at all, but..." Zhao Hu smiled after saying this.

"Tell your classmate that I'll give him $50 in cash as a thank you after this is done. Of course, if there's any area where we can collaborate, we can also work together."

"Tell him that money isn't a problem. All problems that can be solved with money are minor. He'll understand once I meet him and talk to him in Shanghai."

"Brother, I've already told him. Here's his home address and phone number. He said he'll welcome you when you get to Shanghai."

"OK..."

"However, tell him again what I just said. You will never lose out to your friends by cooperating with me."

"Okay, big brother."

"Also, while I'm in Shanghai, you and Hua Rong have to take good care of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment, understand?"

"Don't worry! Big brother, Hua Rong and I will take good care of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment."

"I am assured of this, but you should pay attention to two points."

"Brother, tell me."

"First, you must pay close attention to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army in Hebei. They lost two regiments last time, so they can't just let it go. It's been so long and there's still no movement. They must be holding back something, so you must pay close attention to this aspect."

"Okay, big brother, we will pay attention. It would be best if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army don't come. If they do, hehe... no one will be able to escape."

"As long as you know what's going on."

"The second point is that the Japanese pirates will not give up after their three men disappeared from Shuang'er Mountain. They will definitely send people to Shuang'er Mountain to conduct reconnaissance. Therefore, we must pay close attention to the patrols and inspections of the Shuang'er Mountain base, because these Japanese pirates are all elite spies. So tell the brothers to be alert, otherwise you will suffer."

"Don't worry, big brother, I will make it clear with Li Fei, Li Erniu, and the brothers who arranged the patrol."

"Well... that's no problem."

After giving instructions to Zhao Hu, when Zhou Zheng was about to go home, Feng Baobao and Li Fei came to find Commander Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng saw Feng Baobao and Li Fei coming to him together, and something must have happened.

So he smiled and said to them, "Ah...it's a bit strange that you two came to see me together!"

Zhou Zheng saw Feng Baobao and Li Fei looking at each other, as if they had something to say but didn't know how to start.

"Tell me? What could make you two grown men hesitate like this?"

Finally, Feng Baobao spoke directly: "Commander, we heard two soldiers in our Fourth Regiment talking about equality for all, fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land, and letting the people be the masters of their own destiny."

Zhou Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Feng Baobao, then looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei said, "We have verified it privately with our brothers, and it is true."

"Okay... I understand. Go and take those two people to the back mountain. I'll wait for you at the horse."

Half an hour later, Feng Baobao brought the two men to the back mountain and came before Commander Zhou Zheng.

When the two men saw that it was Commander Zhou Zheng, they immediately saluted and shouted loudly, "Hello, Commander."

Zhou Zheng also returned a military salute to the two people and told them not to be nervous and relax. He asked them to come to the back mountain today just to chat with them.

He also said, "I've known what you two said in private for a long time." After Zhou Zheng said this, the two of them were obviously very nervous, and their muscles were tense. Zhou Zheng patted them on the shoulders and asked them to sit on the ground together.

Zhou Zheng said, "I have a deep connection with you, the Red Army Communist Party."

When these two people heard Commander Zhou Zheng say that he had a close relationship with their Red Army and the Communist Party, they were obviously stunned.

"You all know I've been an orphan since I was a child. When I was 18, I was wandering in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan when I was captured by the Kuomintang and forced to build fortifications. They said they were going to ambush the Red Army and the Communist Party. I also heard these Kuomintang soldiers say that after we finished building the fortifications, they would kill us all to silence us."

"So I ran out at night for my life. The white dogs chased me to a cliff in order to capture me and claim the reward. In order to avoid being caught by the white dogs, I chose to jump off the cliff."

"The cliff was very high. I was lucky enough not to die from the fall. Instead, I passed out and was rescued by the Red Army and the Communist Party who rushed over. They nursed me back to health."

"After leaving the Red Army and the Communist Party, I wandered all the way to Shuang'er Mountain. Then I killed all the bandits on Shuang'er Mountain and established our Shuang'er Mountain Independent Regiment."

"So, I have a deep connection with you, the Communist Party. You are soldiers of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment. You know the Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention. You also know that all the soldiers of our Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment come from poor backgrounds."

"So, you two don't need to be nervous. As long as you don't bully the common people and don't do anything that harms the world, no one in the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment will bully you, because you are my brothers, Zhou Zheng."

After hearing Commander Zhou Zheng's story and his words, the two were moved to tears and said loudly to Commander Zhou Zheng: "Yes...Comrade Commander."

Then he saluted the commander and said, "Thank you, commander."

Zhou Zheng smiled and returned a military salute, and told them to return to their own troops.

After the two of them left, Zhou Zheng turned to Feng Baobao and Li Fei and said, "Most Communists come from poor backgrounds, similar to the soldiers of our Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment. They are truly kind to the people and never bully or exploit them. In this respect, we are the same as them."

"You all know what kind of people the Kuomintang are. As long as they don't join our army, we don't need to worry about people like the Communists. They are also a group of people with beliefs and ideals! It's just that their current conditions are completely different from ours."

"Yes...Comrade Commander," Li Fei and Feng Baobao answered loudly.
