Mr. Yan always employs people only if they are useful to him.

People who are of no use to Mr. Yan will be discarded like worn-out shoes!

Even though Hu Xiankai was the leader of the regiment, he was already useless to Mr. Yan.

Captain Hu, who left the army, became disabled and could not find a way to make a living, and finally became a beggar.

In this era, rich people may not be able to keep their property. Beggars can keep their broken bowls and have done their best.

After Hu Xiankai calmed down, he talked about some of his experiences intermittently, which was pretty much what Zhao Zhiguo expected.

"Commander Hu, what are your plans for the future?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"I……"

"How about this? You stay in Pingcheng first and I'll find you a place to live. You don't have to worry about food."

It was not that Zhao Zhiguo disliked Hu Xiankai, but that Zhao Zhiguo and his own wounded had become a burden.

After returning, Zhao Zhiguo told Ma Xiuwen what happened to Hu Xiankai.

Both Ma Xiuwen and Tian Kezhi remained silent. They knew that Zhao Zhiguo was not a heartless person and would definitely help.

As for the extent of their help, Ma Xiuwen and Tian Kezhi were not in a position to say much.

Besides, it is really not convenient for Hu Xiankai to serve in their army.

"Old friends meet again, so we are separated by clouds and mud!" Zhao Zhiguo sighed.

"Commander, why don't we open our own textile factory in Pingcheng or Wangxian?" Tian Kezhi suggested.

The army needs to manufacture its own uniforms, which costs a lot of money.

If you have your own textile factory, you can reduce a lot of expenses, and you can also accommodate a large number of injured and retired soldiers.

"Well... political commissar... do we still have money?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Matthew Wen.

"Yes, yes, but textile equipment is only available in big cities." Matthew said, "Okay, you write the report, I sign it, and then we find a way to find someone to handle it."

Matthew thought for a while, and found that opening a textile factory was also a matter for the army.

Even if the troops are no longer needed in the future, they can be converted from military use to civilian use to benefit the people of one place.

"Hey hey hey, our political commissar is still very enlightened!"

"Stop flattering me. I heard that you released a death row prisoner from prison? Are you planning to recruit him into our team?"

"Look, our political commissar is not only highly aware, but also well-informed!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"It's not that I'm well-informed, but the second platoon leader of the security battalion submitted the report before you came back," Matthew said.

"The second platoon leader is quite efficient. It feels a bit unfair to have him in prison."

On the way back to the headquarters from the prison, Zhao Zhiguo met an old friend halfway and had a long chat.

"Although the brothers in the guard camp are not elites in the army, they are all selected." Matthew said.

The responsibility of the guard battalion is not only to protect Zhao Zhiguo, but also to protect the First Army Division Headquarters.

Once a crisis situation occurs, the guard battalion will naturally be extremely capable.

"Okay, let's not talk about the second platoon leader. Let me first introduce you to Ma Dali, who is a member of your family." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"How did you become my family?"

"They are all named Ma..." Zhao Zhiguo pulled Matthew Wen to sit down first.

Zhao Zhiguo told Matthew Wen exactly what happened to Ma Dali.

"Political commissar, if it were in a peaceful time, I would never get involved in this matter, but in a war time and a moment of national crisis, I think what Ma Dali did is fine!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Commander, I also heard about something. This Ma Dali hung the burned corpse at the door of the landlord's house, scaring the landlord's little daughter to death on the spot."

Tian Kezhi told Zhao Zhiguo.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Zhiguo was a little surprised.

"When you went to Pingcheng for reconnaissance, the political commissar and I went to the prison to learn about this matter. We also went to Ma Dali's village to learn about this matter. It is most likely true, and the little girl is only eight years old."

Even if the little girl is the child of a bad person, one cannot generalize that a child of a bad person is a bad person.

I did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

Ma Dali's behavior directly led to the death of an innocent girl.

"Why didn't the second platoon leader make it clear to me?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"This is not the fault of the second platoon leader. There is no record in the prison files. This situation was confirmed by the political commissar and I when we went to the village where Matthew Wen is located. We did not expect that you would go to the prison today." Tian Kezhi said.

"Then this matter is a headache. Although Ma Dali did it unintentionally, it also cost an innocent child his life."

Zhao Zhiguo scratched his scalp, he didn't expect Ma Dali's matter to be so complicated.

"If we don't handle this matter impartially and release Ma Dali like this, it will have adverse effects." Tian Kezhi continued.

The Eighth Route Army was already a representative of credibility in Pingcheng, and Zhao Zhiguo's words and deeds were all coded.

If this matter goes wrong, it will damage the Eighth Route Army's prestige among the people.

"While Ma Dali hasn't left the prison, are you going to take him back?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Actually, if the incident only happened in the first half, or if the little girl was frightened and finally recovered, the matter would be easier to handle, and Ma Dali could be released at any time," said Matthew Wen.

A little girl's life cannot be wasted like this.

"Political Commissar, I understand, we can't let him go!"

The meaning of Matthew's article is very clear, Ma Dali cannot be released at will.

Zhao Zhiguo also knew that the Ma Dali matter was not a matter of letting go or not.

"Commander, do you plan to recruit him into our army?" Tian Kezhi asked.

"I thought he was a loyal and brave man, but Qin Weitong lacked capable men.

The anti-corruption team was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army once, and a large number of operatives were lost.

People like Ma Dali, if they recover well, can indeed become operatives of the anti-rape team.

Zhao Zhiguo had to send someone to the prison to deliver an order to imprison Ma Dali again, and asked the second platoon leader to complete Ma Dali's file in prison.

"Old Li, there is a telegram from the headquarters about Mr. Yan!" Matthew Wen picked up a document from the table.

"The headquarters won't agree to Mr. Yan, right?"

The result that Zhao Zhiguo fears most is that Mr. Yan puts pressure on the headquarters, and the headquarters has to give Zhao Zhiguo an order to take action according to the Jinsui Army's plan.

"You have so little confidence in the head of the headquarters?" Matthew Wen said, "The head of the headquarters has said that even if they ask us to agree, Mr. Yan dares to believe Zhao Zhiguo's promise?"

"Is my promise so worthless?" Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.

"It's not that your promise is worthless, it's that Mr. Yan doesn't believe you at all and is afraid that you will side with him. After all, everyone knows the conflict between the two of you." Matthew said.
