Instead of worrying about the seven hundred rounds of ammunition or the one hundred and four dollars, Xu San just asked, "How much does 40,000 rounds of ammunition cost?"
"Eight thousand!" the little girl blurted out.
"This was just a night's battle, which lasted two hours. There were only about 200 people from the fifth battalion participating in the battle. Please calculate how much it costs to kill them in one hour."
"Twenty thousand shots an hour is four thousand yuan." The little girl answered quickly as usual.
"Yeah!" Xu San nodded and continued, "This is just a small-scale local battle. Four thousand ammunition was destroyed in one hour. This does not include the consumption of grenade grenades and medical supplies."
After listening to Xu San's words, Su Yuan felt that the teacher seemed to want to say something, so she asked, "Master, what do you want to say?"
"Money! I lost so much money, master, my heart aches!" Xu San said pretending to be heartbroken.
Su Yuan lowered her head and remained silent. She still didn't understand what Xu San meant, so she lowered her head and asked, "Senior Sister Meizi, do you know what the master meant?"
"Well" the little girl thought for a moment, "Uncle must have lost money!"
"Actually, my uncle did not lose money. The ammunition he consumed was later replenished by Yamamoto. What I mean is that the war is a waste of people and money, so it is better to end it as soon as possible. Four thousand yuan is not a lot of money for a battalion-level unit, but it is Most people can't make it in their lifetime; and how many people who are about to starve to death can be saved by these four thousand yuan?" Xu San finally ended the conversation with the girls with a question, and then sighed leisurely, He turned the accelerator and sped away in the direction of Ping An City.
Su Yuan was silent.
Xiaohong looked at the sky thoughtfully.
The little girl frowned and was calculating the accounts.
The motorcycle drove into Ping'an City, and Xiaohong got off the car. She said she was going to buy something, but in fact she was going to Boss Qian to ask him to arrange for someone to secretly protect Ma Cuilan's family. There was another thing. Xu San asked Boss Qian to inform Langcun. Captain Sun of the county brigade was currently injured and was recovering in the hospital at the headquarters. Finally, Zhang Shouling was asked to come over, saying that he would help dig a cellar.
If the thief didn't miss the target, how could he lose the ammunition while shooting at the shooting range? However, the caliber of these bullets did not match the Browning, so Xiaohong gave them to Boss Qian as a favor.
After explaining the matter, Xiaohong went home, but as soon as she got home, she saw Xu San pushing a motorcycle and planning to leave.
After stopping the car, Xiaohong asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the cement factory." Xu San answered casually without hiding anything.
"I'll go too!" Xiaohong said.
"The dust pollution in that place is serious. Every time I go there and come back, I am disgraced. Why do you go to that place if you are so stinky?" Xu San asked.
Xiaohong grabbed the motorcycle and said, "I'm going. You said you would take us there this morning. Why did you forget in the blink of an eye? I'm not Meizi and Yuanyuan, just as you said."
"Didn't this happen to that idiot battalion commander? I'm worried that he will be detrimental to you." Xu San said seriously.
"Isn't it you? You are my brother-in-law, my lovely brother-in-law, my all-powerful brother-in-law! Isn't it a small thing for you to protect your beautiful and kind-hearted sister-in-law?" After saying that, he grabbed Xu San's arm and started shaking it. .
Xu San had no other way to deal with the coquettish Xiao Hong other than using his official position to suppress her, so he thought about it and agreed, "Then go, but before you leave, you should change your clothes first."
Xiao Hong looked at her clothes and found that they were indeed splattered with a lot of mud, which was really unsightly. However, she thought it might still get splattered after a while and said, "I'll take the clothes with me, otherwise I'll have to do it later." Splashed.”
"OK!"
"Brother-in-law, which one do you like me to wear?" Xiaohong asked.
"The dress, it's the gray plaid one I bought in Taiyuan." Xu San touched his chin with a thoughtful look.
"That suit." Xiaohong recalled the fabric and style of the suit, and frowned and said, "Isn't it too hot to wear in this weather?"
"Re, please dress appropriately. This time I will take you to meet Thomas, the British man. People in that place are more pretentious. You can leave a good impression on him by dressing formally."
"Thomas, is he the fifty-year-old technician you mentioned?"
"Yes, that's him. I'm not rich in time. I want him to teach you English. With your talent, two months at most will be enough." Xu San said seriously.
Xiaohong's English learning must also be put on the schedule, because today she boasted about her awesomeness and it must be fulfilled.
"Then in what capacity should I meet him? Still your sister-in-law?"
"My sister-in-law also serves as secretary."
Xiaohong nodded, indicating that this status is not bad.
Xiaohong went into the house to look for clothes, while Xu San got into the warehouse and took out hair wax and a handful of ak.
Not long after, Xiaohong not only changed her clothes, but also carried a small bag. After throwing the small bag into the car basket, she sat down in the back seat of the car.
Xu San put his motorcycle on his leg and asked, "Do you know what secretaries do?"
"I know! Don't you always say that when you have something to do, the secretary will do it, and when you have nothing to do, do the secretary?"
The whole journey from Ping'an to Chuliang was basically by road. Even so, the three-wheel drive still took more than three hours, and it was already past five o'clock when we arrived at the cement factory.
The sun has set to the west and the sky has dimmed slightly.
Xiao Hong jumped out of the car and started to complain after moving her waist a few times, "Brother-in-law, why don't you drive slower? I was almost knocked apart by you all the way."
Xu San parked his motorcycle, looked at the time, and said, "Let's go to my office to change clothes first, and then go directly to Thomas. Let's hurry up. We can leave at about eight o'clock, so we don't have to spend the night here."
"Wouldn't it be nice to spend the night here? Then you won't be able to sleep with me again? Don't you want to sleep on the same bed and relive old dreams?" Xiaohong said with a smile, still not forgetting to tease Xu San.
Xu San stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, looking like an old pervert, "Let's go, stop talking nonsense all day long, be careful one day I accidentally eat you."
"Then eat. If you eat, I don't have to marry Xiao Linzi." Xiao Hong said with a smile, and then looked at Xu San with a little expectancy, as if she wanted to get an answer from him.
"Hey~ the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard. We still have to focus on the revolutionary cause. For personal emotional issues, we must obey the organization's arrangements." Xu San spoke in an official tone, avoiding Xiao Hong's expectant eyes.
Xiaohong smiled slightly disappointedly, "I'm just teasing you, I won't be sorry to Xiao Linzi. Although he is silly, he is more suitable to be entrusted with him for life than you, a philandering carrot."
"Okay, it's time to go." Xu San said and looked around, "There are not only people from the Fifth Battalion here, but also people from Yamamoto and Kurosawa."
"Yeah!" Xiao Hong agreed and said nothing more. She was just teasing, but when it came to serious matters, her attitude was still very upright.
My fingers hurt so much, and typing was really painful.
