Chapter 72: You Have to Try Your Best
"Oh? Is there any good idea?" The boss became interested.
“What we do best is finding difficulties and solving them.
The difficulty facing us now is that Principal Chen, although he has contributed his own strength, is unwilling to join!
It’s because he has no roots in the country. Since he has no roots, we will give him one.
Since he has no family, give him one.”
When the Chief of Staff said this, everyone understood.
"Are you talking about the little girl named Tian Xiaoyu?
We are not feudal parents, we cannot arrange marriages!" the teacher emphasized.
The brigade commander was very supportive of this: "Anyway, the girl now thinks he is her husband. Didn't the report say that she is quite satisfied with him?"
The teacher disagreed: “What if it’s not?
What if the little girl misunderstands and there is another one at home? If we mess around like this and make the little girl suffer, how will she cope with it? "
The boss couldn't stand it any longer: "This is the combat command room, not a matchmaker's place!
I support you in introducing a partner to Principal Chen, but the prerequisite is that it must be voluntary and you should not force a marriage.
But everything requires effort!
It really doesn't work!
We will promote Principal Chen in the base area. Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes. There is such a person who has made such a great contribution to the country and the people. I believe that among so many female students in the base area, there must be one who likes heroes!
If it doesn't work, assign him a political commissar. I don't believe that a political commissar can't enlighten him. Why is a good young man so disgusted with the world? "
The chief of staff smiled bitterly: "The problem is that he doesn't want to get involved in this. He even runs his own school to train talents for us, but he buys all the necessities of life himself.
It's like this now, why are you assigning him a political commissar?
If he is assigned a political commissar and he feels uncomfortable and just leaves, the loss will be even greater!
So in the end, we have to solve this problem in a tactful way. Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beauty, so let’s set up a beauty barrier for him!”
The boss agreed with the decision: "I only have one request, that it must be voluntary and not forced.
We don’t practice feudal patriarchy!”
The Chief of Staff nodded affirmatively: "We don't even recruit able-bodied men, let alone such a thing as marriage, and it is even more impossible to force them!"
"Okay! Now for the next thing!"
The boss picked up the M3 submachine gun on the table and said, "What do you think of this gun?
Regarding what Comrade Feng Lin said in the letter, Chen Xiao asked Yan'an to send personnel to Europe and the United States to register the patent for this submachine gun.
And I want to sell the patent in Europe or the United States to exchange for a batch of production equipment. What do you think? "
Along with Feng Lin's letter came a piece of information about the M3 submachine gun.
It was Chen Xiao's idea to have Yan'an send personnel to Europe and the United States to apply for patent registration.
“I think we don’t need to discuss this issue.
Can anyone here understand the ins and outs of patents?
Since he has this request, it is better to convey the problem to Yan'an. There are talents in this area there, and they can do it if they think it is feasible.
If it works, you will make a lot of money. If it doesn’t, there is no loss.
We are outsiders!"
The division commander's reasoning was very clear. He believed that this issue did not need to be discussed at all and could be left to Yan'an.
What we should focus on now is when the people who went to explore the authenticity of the mineral deposits will come back and what results they will bring back?
Also, what is the combat effectiveness of the instructors from the Scout Agricultural Science School who escorted these materials back?
"How strong is their combat capability? It's very simple. Just give them a demonstration and we'll know! We didn't let them demonstrate last time, so we can make it up to them this time!"
When the boss heard this question, isn’t it simple?
So they sent someone to pass the message, but the signalman only brought back one sentence: Please keep the command center on alert, and 30 instructors from the Scout Agricultural Science School will demonstrate combat methods to the leaders.
"Ha! He has quite an aura, but I don't know if it's arrogance or real ability.
Notify everyone, the guard company should be on high alert!
Tell Liu Songtao that if he can't defend against these 30 people with a guard company of more than 200 people knowing that the enemy is coming, he should quit as company commander and go to the kitchen to clean the big pot!"
"yes!"
Then the signalman went out and never came back until a voice came from outside the door: "Report!"
"Enter!"
A stranger walked in from outside the door, but from his clothes one could tell that he was an instructor at the Scout Agricultural School.
Because there were collar badges on his clothes, the instructors' collar badges had bars, but the students' collar badges did not, and the Eighth Route Army did not have collar badges.
"Niu Dali, instructor of the Northwest Shanxi Scouting Agricultural Science School, reports to the old leaders!"
The man saluted solemnly, then chuckled and said, "My dear old leaders! You are all captured!"
The leaders were stunned. Were they all captured?
Is this the combat effectiveness demonstrated by the instructors of the Scout Agricultural School?
"Where are the people from the guard company? What are they doing? They are so quiet, not firing a single shot, and there is no movement at all?" the boss asked angrily.
"Reporting to the commander, all the guards have been knocked unconscious. Captain Liu Songtao has been killed in the exercise. We were following the signalman , and when he received the exercise order, we used two steamed buns as bombs to kill them."
Niu Dali explained: “Our principal once said that although scouts are powerful, they are still human beings.
The subjects we are trained in can enable us to achieve twice the result with half the effort in flank battlefield, armed infiltration and intelligence acquisition, but it does not mean that we can directly confront enemies that are several times our number.
Therefore, all our tactics take the saying "the art of war is all about deception" to its extreme.
When we received the order from our leaders to demonstrate our combat power, we had already started the combat arrangements.”
The bosses have seen many storms and waves, but it is hard to accept such a clean capture, even though it was during an exercise.
Not firing a single shot?
"Are you usually at this level? Except for the two bombs, you eliminated all the soldiers of the guard company with your bare hands?" the division commander asked without confidence.
"Report to the commander, that's not the case!" Niu Dali replied.
so far so good!
If he is always so powerful, it would be incredible. Maybe today he wanted to show off in front of the boss, so he displayed extraordinary fighting power?
“If it was normal times, without any warning, I wouldn’t even need two bombs and would have dealt with them all with my bare hands.
After all, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and no one knows when we will come." Niu Dali said a little bluntly.
In fact, he had something else to say . If a scout made a noise while performing a mission, even if the mission had been completed, it would actually be considered a very poor performance.
The teacher was choked and it took him a while to recover: "Is your principal also at this level?"
"No! If it was the principal, even if there were a regiment of guards here, he wouldn't find it difficult to break in.
The principal always says that our level is far inferior to that of the Japanese special forces.
So he is now selecting talents from the school to form a special forces unit to fight against the special forces led by Yamamoto Ikki of the Japanese army. "
If he had not sneaked into the command room, the first two sentences would definitely be considered as praising his own principal.
But now that he has said it, what everyone is concerned about has become the last two sentences.
"Chen Xiao wants to train special forces? Why didn't Zhao report to us just now?" the chief of staff asked puzzledly.
