"The second request is that I want you to be an instructor at the headquarters for a few days and get all the things out of your head!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan agreed to the first condition, the boss followed up with the second one.
"sure, no problem!"
Li Qiufan continued to nod when he heard the second condition. It was just class, he had experience in this matter.
"The most important thing is the third one, you have to be mentally prepared!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan agreed for the second time, the boss reminded him.
"Mental preparation?"
Li Qiufan panicked when he heard the boss's words, as if something was leaving him.
"The third condition is that I want you to have an artillery regiment, but what I want is not artillery, but people!"
The boss's third condition is talent. He already knows the artillery under Li Qiufan.
He wanted this artillery regiment to be dispersed to various units and help other units cultivate some excellent artillerymen.
"no!"
Hearing that the boss wanted artillery, Li Qiufan stood up suddenly and refused directly.
He was all prepared for his boss to ask him for heavy weapons, but he didn't expect that what he wanted was people.
It took him many years to train the heavy artillery brigade under him before he could train such a group of artillerymen.
The boss immediately asked to leave a regiment, which directly removed a leg from his heavy artillery brigade.
"Since you don't agree to this condition, then we don't have to talk about this matter!"
The boss was not angry either. He knew that it would be difficult to leave the artillerymen of an artillery regiment. After all, weapons and equipment are easy to obtain, but talents are rare!
"Boss, let's discuss it again!"
Hearing that the boss said that they didn't want to talk anymore, Li Qiufan looked a little ugly and said to the boss with a forced smile.
"No discussion, no need to talk!"
The boss refused very simply, just like Li Qiufan's attitude just now.
It's not that Li Qiufan doesn't care about the overall situation. Everyone is selfish. If the boss wants weapons and equipment, he won't even frown.
But when it comes to special arms, these are the treasures of every army, and no one will be willing to hand them over.
Li Qiufan also understands the boss. The boss wants other troops to have more artillery as good as the heavy artillery brigade, which can promote the development of other troops.
The two of them remained silent for a long time before Li Qiufan gritted his teeth and looked at the boss.
"Boss, I'm not stingy, I can only give you one battalion of soldiers!"
Li Qiufan made a decision. He agreed to the boss's conditions, but it was not a regiment but a battalion.
This matter is no longer about the artillery shells. In Li Qiufan's heart, no amount of artillery shells can replace this battalion of soldiers.
He thought about it for a long time and knew what the boss expected, so he gritted his teeth and sent out the artillery battalion.
"Okay, I also know what you're thinking. It's not easy for you to provide a battalion of artillery!"
The boss looked at Li Qiufan and nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that Li Qiufan would refuse to agree to this matter, and he understood this.
Because no soldier is willing to give away his subordinates, especially those from special forces.
What the boss didn't expect was that Li Qiufan actually agreed. Although it was reduced from a regiment to a battalion, it also made him very happy.
"Qiu Fan, thank you!"
The boss stood up and patted Li Qiufan on the shoulder, saying thank you to him.
Li Qiufan did not speak, but slowly shook his head.
"Okay, then this matter is settled. You can go back to the station to select the people and then bring them directly to the headquarters."
The matter had been agreed upon, so Li Qiufan did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to his boss and returned to the station.
In the headquarters of the Independent First Column, Zhao Gang was sorting out the report on the battle. When he looked up, he saw Li Qiufan walking in with a bitter face.
"Qiu Fan, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Li Qiufan's appearance, Zhao Gang thought he was being criticized at the headquarters.
Li Qiufan looked up following the voice and found that it was Zhao Gang, and then told him the matter.
"Oh, whether you did the right thing or not, I can't judge."
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Zhao Gang sighed and said.
As the political commissar of the Independent First Column, he had the same idea as Li Qiufan, and he definitely did not want to send his soldiers to other units.
But considering this matter from another level, these are what Li Qiufan should do.
After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly, and then asked someone to call Lao Ma over.
When Lao Ma heard that Li Qiufan was looking for him, he thought it was the artillery shells that had been pulled back, so he came to the headquarters happily.
"Commander, where are the cannonballs? Why didn't I see them?"
Lao Ma walked into the headquarters looking around and asked Li Qiufan with confusion on his face.
"Old Ma, please sit down first. I have something to tell you."
Li Qiufan didn't speak, and Zhao Gang could only take care of Lao Ma and sit down first.
"What's the matter, Commissar?"
At this time, Lao Ma also noticed something was wrong with Li Qiufan and asked Zhao Gang cautiously.
"this…….."
Zhao Gang opened his mouth and said one word, but all the words he had planned for were stuck in his throat.
If there is anyone who doesn't want these soldiers sent out more than Li Qiufan, it must be Lao Ma.
As the top leader of the heavy artillery brigade, except for a few key members who were trained by Li Qiufan, all the soldiers under his command were taught by him step by step.
It is said that artillery is his horse's life, and his artillerymen are the most important part of his life.
Lao Ma, who has always been a good guy, got angry for the first time because of his artillery.
In one battle, an artilleryman made a mistake and almost accidentally injured his comrades.
The grumpy Erhu found the soldier and scolded him. Unexpectedly, his mother broke out.
They were both brothers who had stayed in the same village. Erhu naturally knew what kind of person Lao Ma was.
But what he didn't expect was that a veteran would actually fight him.
This almost shocked Erhu, but it was finally resolved by Li Qiufan.
From then on, the whole column had a saying, that is, you can scold the officers of the heavy artillery brigade, but you cannot bully the soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang really didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his head and look at Li Qiufan.
Feeling Zhao Gang's gaze, Li Qiufan raised his head and glanced at him, then turned his eyes to Lao Ma.
"Well, Commander, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm a little scared when you look at me like this!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's gaze, the boss always felt a little uncomfortable.
"Old Ma, you are my old brother!"
Li Qiufan looked at Lao Ma and suddenly sighed. This was one of the three hundred people he brought out of the stronghold, and the only one he had personally taught.
"Yes, Commander, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qiufan's words made him a little uneasy, and Lao Ma frowned and looked at Li Qiufan.
