Looking at Li Yunlong with the look on his face, Zhang Wanhe was speechless for a while.
Although he often deals with these "unruly" group leaders, fellow countryman Li Yunlong has a new trick every time that he can't guard against.
"You, Commander Li, really dare to speak! You also know the production capacity of our military factory, and all the supplies have been allocated long ago."
"If every regiment leader comes to me with drinks and asks for weapons and supplies, the logistics department will be in chaos. What's more, these supplies are collective, so just give up."
"Believe it or not, if I gave it to you today, tomorrow we would be a typical example of pulling the strings."
Li Yunlong sat carelessly next to Zhang Wanhe, put his arm around Zhang Wanhe's shoulders and wanted to toast him.
"Hey, that's what you said. I'm here for a drink today, and I'm here to help Minister Zhang and fellow Zhang."
"Someone saw me asking for weapons and supplies. I can't slander good people with my red lips and white teeth. Who doesn't know about my good reputation, Li Yunlong?"
Zhang Wanhe slapped Li Yunlong's hand away angrily. It was obvious that this was not the first time he encountered this situation. He had to stand firm when dealing with shameless people.
"Look at you, you don't look like a soldier, but you look like a businessman. Do you want to trade your broken mortar with me for twenty boxes of grenades?"
"Your heart is too dark. No, not a single box. If you have the ability, go to the brigade commander or division commander."
Seeing that Zhang Wanhe was not getting enough food and salt today, Li Yunlong became a little anxious. He said angrily:
"Look, I've heard it a long time ago. He said that the Logistics Minister Zhang Wanhe is actually not from the Dabie Mountains. He fled from Jin Province earlier. I didn't believe it at first, but I believe it this time."
"Director Huang, please comment to me, Xiao Li, what does the Logistics Department do? Isn't it just to provide material support for our Eighth Route Army troops?"
"Why can't you give us a new regiment? Our regiment is not just a moron selling weapons and supplies."
Huang He, who was drinking and watching the excitement, was suddenly mentioned by Li Yunlong. When he was about to speak, Zhang Wanhe reached out to stop him, signaling him not to interrupt.
Zhang Wanhe said with a serious face:
"You, Li Yunlong, have been in the army for so many years, don't you still want me to tell you what the three majors are and what the eighth major is?"
"Listen to instructions in all actions, speak kindly, return borrowed things, and do not hit or curse others? How many of these can you do?"
Obviously this touched the sore spot of Captain Li. Thinking of the days when he was demoted, he said angrily:
"You're so damn picky! That's not a gold ingot. Will it produce babies if you keep it?"
"Why do other regiments and other troops have them, but my New Regiment does not? They are all armed forces of the Eighth Route Army. Is our New Regiment just a stepmother?"
Li Yunlong started to act rogue and gave reasons that he thought were very reasonable.
Although part of the Mosin Nagant brought back by the Yellow River was destroyed by the Japanese.
But the total number is not small, and there are a full 1,500 rods left. Moreover, after the ammunition is distributed, each rifle also has two base bullets.
These materials are allocated by superiors as needed, but Xinyi Tuan, who is good at side jobs, is not on this list.
Seeing others holding those brand new Shui Lian Zhu, Li Yunlong almost drooled, so today he decided to come to the logistics department to ask for an explanation.
"Then Cheng Xiazi and Kong Erluo have replenished their ammunition. Why do they have to humble themselves and beg you when they come to me! Are we fellow villagers? Why are you turning your elbows outward?"
"Why are they ahead of me? I taught one how to shoot the gun, and when the other put the old sleeve on his back, I even used a speed machine."
"If you don't give it today, I won't leave, and you will still have to take care of the food!"
Just as Li Yunlong was complaining, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and it sounded like the man was wearing military boots.
I saw the door of the room being pushed open, and a domineering man walked in.
"Li Yunlong! Why are you so fucking crazy here? This is the logistics department, not a place selling vegetables in the village. What do you want to do?"
After seeing the brigade commander coming, Li Yunlong was like a master of face-changing. He stood up immediately while he was still aggressive, took the brigade commander's whip with a flattering look and said:
"Hey, Brigadier. Why are you here? You didn't tell me in advance. Look at me, I didn't even have a chance to greet you."
"Come on, brigade commander. Sit here and smoke. This is a good thing we just captured. Do you want to drink today?"
The brigade commander sat down, looked at the wine on the table, glanced at Li Yunlong who was passing the cigarette and continued:
"Well, Li Yunlong, you not only want to bribe a minister or director, but you also want to bribe me, the brigade commander, right?"
"I heard you talking about seniority here as soon as I came here. I really shame you. You like to talk about seniority, right? Then I will have a good talk with you today."
"When I was a soldier, you were still weaving baskets in the Dabie Mountains."
"They also say that Kong Jie wears an old sleeve. Is the old sleeve no longer a weapon for protecting our country?"
"Besides, when you memorize the official title, do you know what I am memorizing? What are you so arrogant about?"
Looking at Li Yunlong's appearance, the brigade commander became more and more angry as he thought about it.
Although he is somewhat partial to his subordinate, preference is not doting.
He knew that if he did not strengthen his ideological education, Li Yunlong would cause trouble again sooner or later, and no one would be able to protect him by then.
"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I shouldn't have protected you with the deputy general staff back then."
"When we were crossing the grassland, you dared to send troops to grab food. Now it's better for you to grab things and go to your own logistics department. How much more do you want to achieve?"
At this point, the brigade commander grabbed the riding whip and whipped Li Yunlong twice with the handle.
At this time, Li Yunlong stood aside like a child who had made a mistake, with his head lowered and did not speak. The events of that year were still vivid in his mind.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become so tense, Huang He took the initiative to change the topic.
"Hey, is this the legendary man in Shanghai? Mr. Wang, who claims that as long as the money is in place, he can find out about anything?"
"I am the director of the newly established Procurement Department of the Eighth Route Army. I have something to trouble you with today. I want to ask you to find someone. The commander of our 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is missing. Please help me find him."
Following Huang He's words, the brigade commander and Zhang Wanhe started laughing after being stunned for a moment.
This is in sharp contrast to the embarrassed Li Yunlong. How could poor old Li know about the brigade commander's previous great achievements.
The brigade commander has always been a funny man, and he never minded others making fun of him.
"You are really familiar with me. You dared to joke with me the first time we met, but I like it. Old Liu is right, you Huang He is an interesting person."
"No, you are the contemporary Guan Yu. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
"There was one sentence I didn't finish just now."
Huang He paused for a moment and adjusted his expression.
He crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees and pretended to say: "What does arresting Lu Xun have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?"
"Hahaha, you really laughed me to death. It seems that you know a lot of things. After the war is over, I will take you to his former residence. Hey, if I had you back then, I wouldn't have made such a mistake. catch."
The atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot because of Huang He's jokes, and the brigade commander who had been on the front line also felt a little more relaxed.
"Li Yunlong, sit down. For Director Huang's sake, I won't pursue your behavior today."
At this point, the brigade commander noticed that Li Yunlong was about to smile playfully. He immediately returned to his serious expression and said:
"If there is a next time, you won't even have a chance to take the blame. I will clean up the house myself, so you can grow up."
"Hey hey hey, thank you brigade commander."
Li Yunlong sat next to the brigade commander, as humble as a little boy.
"You kid, stop complaining. I know everything about your Xinyi Tuan. He also said that Zhang Wanhe is a local rich man. How can I not know how many things you, Li Yunlong, have hidden?"
"The 772nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment are both good boys. I know all about your ability, Li Yunlong, to make extra money. Otherwise, would I let you go to the New Regiment?"
"Let me tell you, when I first took charge of the 386th Brigade, the troops were poorly equipped and lacked training. The most important thing was the lack of rifles."
"In one battle, my supplementary regiment set out to fight, and some soldiers went to the battlefield carrying spears."
"At that time, the soldiers of the first battalion were shouting slogans. Do you know what that slogan was? They said that they would exchange spears for the Japanese soldiers' 38-pound cover. In that battle, there was a fierce man who stabbed eleven Japanese soldiers to death with his spears."
The brigade commander took a sip of wine and continued:
"Later, I asked the division commander for equipment. What do you think the division commander said? Whether I need equipment or not, relying on the assigned weapons is nothing. If you have the ability, you can get it yourself. So, Li Yunlong, don't bother me with such nonsense in the future."
Li Yunlong saw that the brigade commander's anger had subsided, and he quickly got off the slope with a smile.
"Brigadier, let's stop chatting here. Is there anything you want to do here this time?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Huang He asked what he had been holding back for a long time.
"Yes, your logistics department is closest to our 129th Division. Now the headquarters hopes that your logistics department can properly handle the issue of bullets so that they can be supplied to our entire division with priority."
The brigade commander brought a new question.
