In order to welcome Shen Quan's arrival, the boss used his own allowance to buy a large roast chicken and asked the cooking team to make a plate of braised pork with ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, which was regarded as a blessing for Shen Quan.
For such a fighting hero, even eating delicacies from mountains and seas is not an exaggeration.
Several people sat down in order of official position. Shen Quan was specially arranged to be on the right hand side of the boss, and on the left was the division commander. The salary was extremely high.
"The conditions in our Eighth Route Army are very difficult. We can only find these things to eat if we scrape together, so we'll make do with it!" the boss said, breaking off the drumsticks of the roasted chicken and putting them in Shen Quan's bowl.
The chief of staff on the side echoed: "Chen Quan, we are all blessed by you today. This is the roast chicken that the boss bought with this month's allowance."
Roast chicken and braised pork are already considered a luxury item in this era.
The Eighth Route Army's allowances are not high. Even the boss's allowance is only enough for basic expenses.
Looking at the food on the table, Shen Quan knew in his heart that this table of food had already consumed the boss's entire month's allowance.
Picking up the chicken leg and taking a big bite, Shen Quan said with a smile: "This meat tastes really good. Thank you boss for the warm hospitality."
Chen Quan understood that if he didn't take the first bite today, the other leaders would naturally be embarrassed to speak.
Sure enough, after Shen Quan took action, several leaders started to use their chopsticks, but they did not pick up the braised pork or chicken, but ate some sweet potatoes and peanuts.
Chen Quan's heart suddenly felt a warm current!
This, this is why the people choose to support the Eighth Route Army!
This is why Shen Quan wears this military uniform without hesitation!
"Chen Quan, during this battle at Wujiapo, the New Regiment saved the arsenal and the hospital behind enemy lines for us. Their contribution is very great."
"According to our rules and regulations, meritorious service will be rewarded. In addition, since Cangyun Ridge, you have developed a shabby new regiment into such a strong one, your credit will be even greater!"
After hearing what the boss said, Shen Quan quickly put down the chicken drumstick in his hand and said with bright eyes: "Boss, what do you want to reward me? Is it a cannon or a weapon? If not, you can give me some troops."
"You bitch, don't hit your face with your nose!"
The boss rolled his eyes at Shen Quan and said: "Who doesn't know that your new regiment is now a local rich man in northwest Shanxi, with four or five cavalry battalions, artillery battalions, and infantry battalions.
You damn girl are almost becoming a brigade commander, yet you still have the nerve to reach out and ask for something from me. "
"To be honest, I really want to incorporate your new regiment into the headquarters' security regiment."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Quan couldn't sit still and said in shock: "No, boss, it's okay if you don't give me a reward, but don't add insult to injury!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
After three rounds of food and five drinks, Shen Quan finally said boldly: "Boss, we have eaten and drank wine. Is it time to talk about business?
This time you came to the headquarters with me, not just to praise me verbally, right? "
clever!
Hearing this, several leaders looked at each other, and finally looked at Shen Quan.
This look made Shen Quan sober in an instant, which was frightening.
The boss smiled slightly and said, "Okay, since you have said it all, I won't hide it anymore."
"The day before yesterday, we received a first-level telegram from Ting'an. A Japanese plane carrying the latest code book crashed. According to the intelligence we have, the plane crashed right in your new group. Within the defense zone of the garrison.”
"Due to limited conditions, we don't know the specific place where the plane crashed. It may be in your defense area, or it may be in an enemy-occupied area or a Kuomintang-controlled area."
Chen Quan wondered: "The Japs' code book is on this plane. The Japs must have set off to the crash site long ago, right?"
The boss shook his head and said: "The Japanese still don't know where the plane was left alone. All the communication equipment failed before the plane crashed, so now many forces are looking for the crashed plane."
"If we can get the cipher machine and code book on the plane, we can know the next specific actions of the Japanese army in North China."
"This matter cannot be made public, so we discussed it and decided to let the new regiment carry out this task."
As a time traveler, Shen Quan naturally understands the importance of this password.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Quan asked again: "Boss, how much information do we have now? I hope to know everything."
"Only in this way can I be sure that I can find the crashed plane."
The boss regretted: "There is no more information. This information came from Ting'an, and we here don't know about it.
Shen Quan, I know you have many ideas and are good at analyzing situations, so I have placed my hope on you. I hope you won't let me down. "
Suddenly being given a high hat by the boss in front of several leaders, Shen Quan was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Boss, let me try my best. If it doesn't work, don't blame me. "
"Don't worry, I won't get the wrong person!"
The reason why Shen Quan agreed to the boss's request was because he had his own plans in mind.
If the crashed plane can be found and the code book and cipher machine are obtained, the enemy's movements can be grasped, which will be more conducive for the new regiment to take the initiative to fight the enemy and achieve a greater victory.
If you fight many big battles, you will naturally have weapons and equipment, and the new regiment will be able to develop more powerfully.
On the other hand, the newly established intelligence department of the New Regiment has not yet carried out its work effectively. Once it masters the Japanese code book, it will help the intelligence department collect more effective intelligence.
Soon, several leaders and Shen Quan drank all the ten pounds of sweet potato roast.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the boss drunkenly hugged Shen Quan and said, "You have a good rest tonight. I will hold an award ceremony for you and the New Group at the headquarters tomorrow!"
"Thank you, boss!"
That night, after several leaders left, Shen Quan took Monk Wei for a walk around the headquarters and discovered that there was a loophole in the location of the light and dark checkpoints at the headquarters. He pointed out the problem and immediately helped designate more concealed light and dark checkpoints.
This drunken act allowed the division commander responsible for protecting the headquarters' security to once again witness Shen Quan's military strength.
the next morning.
After the boss read out the commendation documents for the New Regiment and Shen Quan at the headquarters, he personally awarded Shen Quan a first-class military medal.
The boss patted Shen Quan on the shoulder and said: "Chen Quan, I am optimistic about you. In time, you will definitely become a top military backbone talent, and it is not impossible to become a general."
Chen Quan: "Thank you, boss. I will do my best to drive the Japanese out of China."
In his previous life, Shen Quan had been in the army for many years and had only the rank of lieutenant. Now he has traveled here and become a regiment-level military cadre in just a few months.
As for the general level that the boss mentioned, Shen Quan really hadn't thought about it. After all, he came here not to be an official, but to work with his ancestors to drive the Japanese out of China.
