"Haha, you guys go out first, I'll say a few words to this baby!"
After Li Qiufan finished speaking, the man did not answer, but said something to the entourage.
After hearing what that person said, the entourage walked directly out the door, including Zhao Gang, who was very discerning.
After everyone left, only that person and Li Qiufan were left in the entire conference room.
"The last time I saw you was in Yan'an, right? I remember you were still the regiment leader at that time!"
After the door of the conference room was closed, the man continued to speak, talking about the first time he met Li Qiufan.
"Yes, I was still the commander of the 22nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade at that time. It was the old brigade commander who brought me to see you!"
After hearing what the other party said, Li Qiufan also remembered the scene when the two met in Yan'an.
"Time flies so fast. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the small group leader has now become the commander!"
The man nodded towards Li Qiufan and couldn't help but sigh after talking about what happened in Yan'an.
"Do you know why I came here this time?"
After sighing with emotion, the man got down to business and asked Li Qiufan if he knew why he came to Yunnan.
"It should be for my military rank. I heard that this matter has not been settled yet."
When he heard that person talk about business, Li Qiufan didn't hide it and just told the truth.
"Yes, your baby's military rank is a big problem, and there is no result yet!"
"But I'm not here for your military rank this time, but I have something else to ask you!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's answer, the man nodded and admitted that his military rank evaluation was indeed a big problem.
But then the man changed the topic and said that he came to Yunnan this time not for military rank. Li Qiufan immediately said in his heart that it was true.
"What's that for?"
Although Li Qiufan had already guessed this, he still pretended to be curious and asked.
"I heard that when you first entered the peninsula, you left an air defense battalion at the Volunteer Army Headquarters?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, the man was silent for a moment and then spoke, but there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
Li Qiufan was also stunned when he heard the question, and his head immediately buzzed, and he didn't calm down for a long time.
He never expected that person to ask him this question, and now he was a little worried that the person had guessed something.
"That's what happened. I left an air defense battalion at the Volunteer Army Headquarters."
After forcing himself to calm down, Li Qiufan nodded and responded.
"Why did you do that in the first place?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's admission, the man immediately sat up straight and continued to ask.
"At that time, American planes bombed our army very frequently, so I thought of leaving an air defense battalion for Shiji to prevent enemy bombing of Shiji's station. After all, Shiji is the command center of our entire volunteer army. .”
Li Qiufan spoke realistically about the situation in the peninsula at that time, and his answer can be said to be very reasonable.
But the man frowned after hearing Li Qiufan's answer, and then looked at him deeply.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it today, it's getting late!"
After listening to Li Qiufan's answer, the person ended the conversation directly, which made Li Qiufan secretly relieved in his heart.
After that, the man decided to live in the military area, and Li Qiufan and Zhao Gang quickly arranged accommodation for him.
After the man went to bed, Zhao Gang followed Li Qiufan to his office.
"Old Zhao, aren't you curious about what that person talked to me about?"
After the two entered the office, they sat on the sofa in silence. After a while, Li Qiufan asked Zhao Gang.
"I'm curious, but I don't want to know!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, Zhao Gang nodded towards him first, and then shook his head.
As for the content of the conversation with Li Qiufan, Zhao Gang said it was a lie if he said he was not curious.
But he didn't really want to know about it, because knowing it would do him no good and might cause trouble.
"Okay, then I won't tell you!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's answer, Li Qiufan nodded and stopped talking, which made Zhao Gang look at him in a daze.
"Are you kidding me?"
Seeing that Li Qiufan really shut his mouth and stopped talking, Zhao Gang felt like a cat scratching his heart, itching terribly.
"yes!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards Zhao Gang. He really had no intention of telling Zhao Gang. He just wanted to liven up the atmosphere by asking him.
"Li Qiufan belongs to your uncle!"
When he heard that Li Qiufan said that he was just teasing himself, Zhao Gang immediately stood up and cursed, and then went back to sleep.
Looking at Zhao Gang's leaving figure, Li Qiufan shook his head, then rested his chin with his hand and continued to think deeply.
That person did not stay in Yunnan for long, nor did he continue to talk to Li Qiufan. After that, he inspected the armored division and mountain division and then returned to Beijing.
And after that man returned to the capital, Li Qiufan's military rank was determined.
However, Li Qiufan did not receive any news, and the commander-in-chief did not tell him.
Nothing major happened in the following days. The relationship between Li Qiufan and Tian Yu quickly heated up, and Zhao Gang and Feng Nan also came together.
While everyone was waiting for the day of the conferment, Li Qiufan received an order from the capital, asking him to rush to the capital in advance and go to the sea to attend the conferment ceremony.
Li Qiufan was very confused about this order and didn't understand why he was asked to go to the capital for the conferment.
Because he clearly remembered that the generals of all military regions except the capital were awarded by senior leaders and did not go to the capital.
Especially a commander of a large military region like Li Qiufan cannot leave his post without permission.
Students like Li Yunlong and others who were studying in Nanjing did not return to their respective military regions. Instead, they were awarded titles by their superiors in Nanjing.
"Old Zhao, what do you think about this?"
Li Qiufan really couldn't understand, and then he thought about asking Zhao Gang his opinion.
"Me? I'll just sit and watch!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, Zhao Gang, who was sitting and reading, replied without raising his head.
"Can you speak properly, you sour scholar?"
Li Qiufan was already a little irritable, but after hearing Zhao Gang making sarcastic remarks, his mood became even worse.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'm going to find Feng Nan!"
Seeing Li Qiufan transformed into a powder keg, Zhao Gang glanced at him and left, not giving him a chance to get angry.
"Sour scholar!"
"Heartless!"
“We love the new and hate the old!”
Looking at Zhao Gang's leaving figure, Li Qiufan started to curse, but his eyes became more and more resentful.
