NFBE Chapter 162: Am I also the director of the military factory?
Chapter 162: Am I also the director of the military factory?
The chief of staff's reaction was actually the most intriguing. Although he remained silent, it was obvious that he was very surprised by the commander's decision. The reason was actually very simple.
Since the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army has become increasingly fragmented, split up several times, and gradually spread across a large area of North China.
As the geographical distribution became wider and the number of soldiers increased, the name "column" appeared.
There are mainly two types of columns: columns directly under the army and columns directly under the division and brigade.
Originally, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters directly governed only five columns, which were units at the same level as divisions, basically at the deputy division level.
Now there is another old man named Chen Yan, which means that Chen Yan is now a deputy division-level military officer.
Although he is half a level lower than the commander of the 129th Division, they are both directly under the headquarters, so they are on an equal footing.
Although Chen Yan was excited now, he was still a little confused.
All areas in North China have been divided up by the five major columns and various division-level units, which means that there is no territory for Chen Yan at all.
I can't have a deputy division-level combat unit hiding in Heiyun Village. It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone about it.
And I don’t think the leader would do this because it is really unreasonable.
Chen Yan really couldn't figure out the commander's idea, so he finally asked tentatively:
"Commander, what kind of unit is our independent column?"
"Ah! I plan to give you a supreme mission, to guard the headquarters and ensure its safety.
From now on, when the other troops of the province take turns to guard, my life and property will be in your hands. This shows my absolute trust in you."
After saying this, the commander patted his shoulder meaningfully.
Dizzy.
So you want me to be your personal bodyguard!
To put it simply, the independent column is the headquarters' professional guard force.
Chen Yan felt overwhelmed when he thought about having to stay with the boss whenever he had nothing to do and bask in the sun every day.
I am a romantic, free-loving young man from the 21st century, and I am so suffocated to death!
The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more depressed he became. It seemed that everyone else had gone out to level up and fight monsters, leaving him alone to guard the house. That would be too boring.
"Commander, the guard troops around you usually have at most two regiments. Isn't it a bit of a waste for us to have a deputy division-level combat force?"
"What? Do you mean I don't deserve so many people's protection?"
"Look at what you said. With your reputation, I think one army to protect you is not enough.
I'm just worried that you'll be too high-profile and attract criticism.
Besides, with your domineering temperament, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you if it got out that so many people were guarding you?"
"Stop arguing with me, this matter is settled.
Let’s move on to the next topic.”
“!!!”.
"What! Is this the end?"
The commander glared at him and said, "Why, are you annoyed, kid? I see you're a little unhappy!"
"No! Look how naturally and happily I smile."
At this moment, Chen Yan's face, which was neither funny nor sad, looked like an emergency assembly, and it was as ugly as it could be.
"Since I have decided to let you run a military factory, then do it well. Vigorously developing the military industry is also seeking the long-term development of the army.
So I decided…”
At this moment, Chen Yan was extremely nervous, fearing that the commander would cause trouble again.
“It’s not appropriate for a deputy division-level unit like you to handle this matter alone.
So I decided to simply set up a military factory directly under the headquarters, a regiment-level unit, and you will serve as the director of the military factory. Are you satisfied now?"
A full poop.
Chen Yan thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
He originally planned to build a military factory in his own army. If there were any good things, he would keep them for his own use and would not let others get them for free.
According to the commander, I am responsible for the equipment of the entire army, and if I don't provide it, it would be dereliction of duty.
Chen Yan's eyes turned and he quickly came up with a solution.
"Commander, this might have a bad influence. What will Comrade Zhang Wanhe, the Minister of Logistics, think? After snatching the food, he is still destroying the place. This is not conducive to unity!
I think it would be better to conduct a pilot project within our own company first, and once the time is right, we can study the subsequent development issues in time."
"Little guy, don't beat around the bush with me, I don't know what you are planning.
Just do what I say.
Don't worry, since it is a unit directly under the headquarters, you will not suffer any loss.
The headquarters will give you the greatest support if you are lacking any materials, equipment or supplies, and you must make the military factory bigger and stronger."
"Leader, there is financial support."
"I don't have any money."
"Well, you have the final say, do as you like.
Please give me some spiritual encouragement, old supporter!"
Chen Yan saw that he couldn't refuse, but fortunately the power of the military factory was in his hands, so he could still be more partial in the future.
Suddenly Chen Yan thought of something. He immediately lit a cigarette for the commander and asked:
"Commander, you have singled out the military factory and turned it into an independent unit. Are you waiting for the right time to do something about it?
By then we have chickens and ducks, and you come and replace me, but you won't replace me too, will you?"
After hearing this, the commander's face became redder and redder.
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
Damn, I guessed it right, that’s what he thought.
The commander cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "You little bastard, I'm not that kind of person! How could I do such a thing as abandoning you after you've done your job? There is real love between us."
"Commander, don't try to play tricks on me. Don't mention feelings. Nothing good will happen if you mention feelings.
Then tell me why you are blushing."
"Hmm~".
"I suddenly feel that the idea you just mentioned can also be a direction for the future development of military factories."
“!!!”.
Well! I'm just shooting myself in the foot. What a complainer!
The three men finished their conversation, and the commander began to greet them:
"Xiao Wang, come here for a moment.
……
Hey! Where are the people?
Where has this kid been going again? I think his job as a security guard is almost over."
As soon as the three men walked out, they immediately stopped where they were. They saw Li San, Da Biao and the monk tying up all the more than 20 sentries and secret guards arranged by the leaders outside the door.
Guns and ammunition were piled all over the floor.
Chen Yan was so anxious that he slapped his forehead.
It's over. I have completely forgotten about this.
Before meeting with the commander, Chen Yan was extremely dissatisfied with his detention.
He was in a bad mood at the time and felt really wronged.
So he told Li San that if he didn't come back in an hour, he would have to seize the weapons of the sentries outside.
Don't you think I have the heart to rebel? Then I will let all of you know the strength of me, Chen Yan. If I want to rebel, no one can stop me.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye he would not only become the commander of the column, but also concurrently the director of the military factory. How the hell could he find justice in this matter?
He glanced at the commander and said with a laugh:
"Commander, tell me how awesome I am and how much nonsense I say."
The commander was stunned for a moment: "Speak human language."
"Commander, as your guard unit, I want you to have a deep understanding of the strength of the unit.
Look, my three soldiers disarmed your guard company silently.
At this moment, you want to say something no”.
"Get the hell out of here, the farther the better."
