"Drink tea!"

Guan Fei made a cup of hot tea with his own hands, handed it to the other party with a smile, and sat on the other party's side: "Staff You, it's been a long time since we met. I remember the first time we met was at Lanzhai Training Camp. How many of us were there at that time..."

"Two hundred and thirty-eight people!"

Staff You reported the first batch of people entering the People's Army training camp without thinking. Perhaps recalling the scene, a faint smile appeared on his grim face. The faint smile appeared for only a moment and then disappeared. If Guan Fei had not paid attention to any subtle changes, he would probably not have seen it.

"Our chief is now the deputy chief of staff!" The little guard behind him interjected proudly.

"Xiao Zheng!" The angry face of Staff You flashed, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared. He seemed not to be able to hide his emotions. His lips moved, but he didn't explain anything to Guan Fei. He closed it tightly, held the teacup expressionlessly, stared at the rising heat on it.

Since he didn't want to talk, Guan Fei stopped making too much trouble and the narrow brigade became quiet.

"Kill! Kill!"

There were waves of trumpets from soldiers during training, and sometimes the roars, scoldings, and praise from the commanders.

Chief You raised his eyebrows, as if he couldn't stand the stagnant atmosphere in the house. He stood up, walked to the door of the shack, and looked at the lively training scene on the training ground in the distance.

"The training here is very intense, has it been like this all the time?" He looked for a while and asked, with a hint of suspicion in his voice, as if he thought that such high-intensity training would not be like this every day.

Guan Fei didn't find it strange that he had such a question.

Training intensity is not supported by will, but also requires abundant nutritional supplements and scientific training methods. It is believed that increasing intensity will only cause irreparable damage to the soldiers' bodies.

When the 291st Brigade was initially established, there was insufficient food supply. After two days of high-intensity training, the soldiers developed symptoms of hematuria. This was because the training intensity was too high and it hurt the kidneys. Guan Fei was so scared that he quickly called for a stop, and he dared to use one training for two days to maintain the soldiers' military skills. This kind of high-intensity training was not until the food was enough to eat, and then the amount was gradually increased.

"The headquarters is not now..." He said, and stopped talking under Chief You's bitter expression.

What's the point of saying these meaningless things?

"Oh, isn't this Lao You? I haven't seen him for a long time, you boy..." Sun Yaohua's voice sounded in time, still as heroic as ever. As soon as he came in, he gave Chief of Staff You a warm hug, then hugged his shoulders, leaned back, and looked at his appearance seriously, and his smile gradually dissipated, "Lao You, you have lost weight, and people have seen aging."

"Haha, that's OK!"

When Chief You saw Sun Yaohua, he was more enthusiastic than when he met Guan Fei. At least he didn't have a cold face and even patted him on the other party's back twice.

Guan Fei smiled and said nothing about his differences.

Sun Yaohua is right, Chief of Staff You can indeed describe his expression as Cang Lao. In the database of biological sub-brain, he is only twenty-seven years old this year, only slightly older than Zhang Shengguo, but compared with Zhang Shengguo, he seems to be a middle-aged man of thirty-five or six years old.

Thinness even said the key point.

Chief You's cheekbones are protruding and cheekbones are very protruding, and his cheeks are inwardly sunken, and his eyes are still as bright as before, but they are a little tired. At first glance, this person is very concise and capable. However, if you analyze it carefully, it is a loss caused by extreme nutritional disorder.

He is just using his spiritual strength to hold on!

"Old You!" Zhang Shengguo followed closely behind and saw Chief of Staff You greeted him politely, with a very polite expression, but also seemed a little unfamiliar.

He joined the People's Army a year later. Apart from Guan Fei and Sun Yaohua, he had little friendship with the first batch of old soldiers. His promotion was also very slow. If he hadn't followed Guan Fei suddenly from company to battalion and from battalion to brigade, he would have only been a company instructor.

"Staff General You, he has disappeared for several months!"

"Staff General You."

Deputy Brigade Commander Yu Bohai and Director of Civil Affairs Zhao Zhonghua, who received the notice, also came forward and greeted his old acquaintance in surprise.

"Deputy Commander Yu, Political Commissar Zhao." Staff You squeezed a smile on his face and called them the two of them with their original positions.

"Haha, OK! OK! Last time when the enemy advanced, everyone was in a hurry. Lao Zhao and I didn't have time to chase the troops, so we hid in Menghai. Today, I was so happy to see you. Let's have a few drinks together to have a good chat! Lao Guan, I want to drink tonight and ask you for an order, don't say I'm destroying the discipline!" Yu Bohai happily pulled Chief You, very happy.

"No problem, everyone will be together tonight. Not only do you want to drink, but I am also greedy!" Guan Fei agreed with a smile.

Zhao Zhonghua and Deputy Chief of Staff You had nodded and smiled, and seemed very happy, but that kind of happiness was the joy of seeing their old comrades, and there was no other meaning. After the two of them held each other and patted each other, they each sat down.

"Old You is now the Deputy Chief of Staff, and we will hold a celebration banquet for him tonight." Guan Fei smiled and pointed out the current position of Deputy Chief of Staff You.

"You kid is doing well. You are already the chief of staff!" Sun Yaohua was the most active, stabbed Deputy Chief You in the waist with a punch, and smiled.

"Yes, yes, I am just a deputy brigade commander. You have already climbed to the position of deputy chief of staff. I didn't say anything when I met just now. It's time to punish me. I won't kill you tonight!" Yu Bohai was also overjoyed and said with some fun.

No matter how much jokes are, people actually don’t value the position of deputy chief of staff at the headquarters.

Everyone knows the situation at the headquarters now. Whether it is a turnover or a retreat, the total number of remaining soldiers taken away by the headquarters was only 2,000. Later, some defeated soldiers were gathered and several battles were fought with the Wei Ding Army in the Wa territory. Now the People's Army soldiers directly under the headquarters are said to be 6,000, but in fact there are about 2,566, and there are not as many troops as the 291st Brigade.

On the contrary, the total strength of the Wa armed forces at the headquarters has reached more than 14,000, which is far better than the troops directly under the headquarters. However, although they have many people, their weapons are not good, their ammunition is not enough, and their training is not good. It can be said that they are a group of mobs.

However, the situation of the inverted universe cannot be changed. The leader of the Wa armed forces and the leader were awarded the position of commander of the newly established 381 Military Region.

So strictly speaking, the headquarters is actually relying on others' roofs, and they cannot get the number of people, and they cannot maintain a large army. The situation can be said to be getting worse every day.

In addition, the previous defeat, a large number of backbones were either killed in battle or withdrawn from the country, and the outstanding commanders were all lost. This position as deputy chief of staff was really worthless. Of course, everyone is old comrades-in-arms. It is impossible to say such despicable words in front of Deputy Chief of Staff You, on the surface, they are still laughing and complimenting him for his promotion.

The enthusiasm of everyone's playfulness finally melted the ice on Deputy Chief You's face, showing his former smile, only deep wrinkles on his forehead, indicating that he is no longer the same as he used to be.

"We'll talk about it later. I'm here to read the headquarters orders this time." After a while of laughter, Deputy Chief of Staff You pressed down on his hands, calmed everyone, and then said in a stern manner.

Sun Yaohua and Yu Bohai put away their hippies and smiled expressions and listened with a look. Guan Fei, Zhang Shengguo and Zhao Zhonghua also sorted out their military appearances, straightened their hats, sat upright, waiting for him to read the orders.

Deputy Chief of Staff You took an artificial leather briefcase from the guards, opened it, took out a handwritten order from it, and stood up.

"Commendation Order!"

Guan Fei and all the senior commanders of the 291st Brigade stood up together, listening to the orders he read out with a serious expression.

"... All commanders and fighters of the 291st Brigade, led by comrades Guan Fei, political commissar Zhang Shengguo and other comrades, repelled the enemy's attacks many times, effectively protected the security of the base areas in the liberated areas, and actively expanded the base areas, compressed the enemy to the Menggu front line, and did not make any progress!

In order to commend the great contributions made by the 291st Brigade and to break the enemy's encirclement and suppression of us more effectively, the defense zone under the 291st Brigade was expanded into the First Special Military Sub-district, with Comrade Guan Fei as the commander of the military sub-district, Party Secretary, and Brigade Commander of the 291st Brigade; Comrade Zhang Shengguo as the political commissar of the military sub-district, Deputy Party Secretary, and Political Commissar of the 291st Brigade; Comrade Sun Yaohua as the deputy commander of the military sub-district, Deputy Party Secretary, and Deputy Brigade Commander of the 291st Brigade...

The commanders and fighters at all levels of the military sub-district continue to work hard, severely crack down on the enemy's arrogance, strive to recover Menggu Town as soon as possible, and make greater contributions to the People's Party's return to Menggu!

This order!"

"Yes! Complete the task resolutely!" As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Fei immediately leaned his heel, greeted a standard military salute, and responded firmly.

"Resolutely complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors, recover Menggu as soon as possible, and make the greatest contribution to the cause of liberation!"

Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua, Yu Bohai, and Zhao Zhonghua also stood attentively, saluted and solemnly promised.

Military division!

The promotion of the 291st Brigade into a military sub-district means that it is no longer an ordinary force, but an independent military and political institution with most autonomy. Unless the headquarters directly issues an order, the military sub-district can allow the independent expansion of the troops according to conditions. Only people with money and weapons can be used, even if they expand the brigade to the army, they only need to submit a report to the upper limit.

Basically, the military sub-district can be said to be a prince of one place!

This is probably the compromise that the headquarters had to make when seeing that the 291st Brigade was closely related to the country and was in danger of gradually getting out of control...

After all, from the root, the existence of the People's Party still relies heavily on domestic attitudes. Even if they are dissatisfied with the domestic cut off aid, they can only endure it and dare not really offend it.

Cutting off aid is at most a matter of life and death. But if the country is completely offended, the Wild Army might launch a large-scale attack the next day. How can a defeated general with only two or three thousand people with only two thousand defeated soldiers withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of powerful enemies?

Deputy Chief You finally showed a relieved smile on his face and waved his hand: "Sit down."

Guan Fei solemnly took the order and handed it to the guard Xiao Li to let him take it away and sit down with the others one by one. Only then did everyone relax and talk and laugh at them all, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Promotion is always a good thing.

The 291st Brigade was promoted to the Military Sub-district, and the actual benefits were needless to mention. Every military and political chief here also mentioned the level of the military sub-district commander and political commissar, and the worst of all members of the Party Committee, so everyone was naturally very happy.

Sun Yaohua and Yu Bohai are both talkative people and are also old acquaintances with Deputy Chief of Staff You. The two of them are noisy and joking, and they are very happy.

When they were in high spirits, they simply pulled Guan Fei and did not allow him to do other things today. They asked the kitchen team to open fire immediately, prepare a sumptuous banquet, and entertain Deputy Chief of Staff You. Since it was a festive event related to the promotion of the 291st Brigade to the Military Sub-district, Guan Fei could not destroy the atmosphere at this moment, so he naturally agreed readily.

The news of the establishment of the military sub-district was spread by the guards who took them. Soon, there were already bursts of cheers outside. The sound was very loud. It was obvious that not only the troops were shouting and laughing happily, but most of the educated youth students also heard about it, and bursts of laughter were everywhere.

When the soldiers in the kitchen started serving with a smile, there were even more majestic singing outside, "We are walking on the road, with high spirits..."

Tens of thousands of people responded in unison, even in different places, training grounds, classrooms, courts, military service agencies, banks, and even in the valley technical school next door, loud singing came from, singing loudly along with the beat.

Songs one after another, never stopping.

Looking out from the open door of the brigade department, everyone I saw was full of joy and spirit.

Even Guan Fei and others haven't seen this cheerful atmosphere for many years.

Under the extremely enthusiastic environment of everyone, Deputy Chief of Staff You quietly moved to Guan Fei and whispered: "Commander Guan, the headquarters can no longer be exaggerated. Can you... help us... a little... food..."

His face turned red, not excitement, but uncontrollable shame. His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he was so low that he could not even hear it.

As the People's Party, the People's Army headquarters was so embarrassed that he asked his subordinates for food. He felt extremely sad and even more embarrassed.

But the situation is stronger than that of the people. The granary at the headquarters is unwilling to fall, but the 291st Brigade is bringing in one truck after another, even so much that it can squander and recruit mass gangs to work!

At such a life-and-death moment, even the most stubborn BJP's top leaders could no longer withstand. Between starving and compromise, they were forced to make a choice against their will, elevating the 291st Brigade to a military sub-district and becoming an independent unit semi-departed from the headquarters' jurisdiction to obtain food aid from the other party.

Deputy Chief You was also in a deep pain, but he could only lower his head and beg Guan Fei to lend a helping hand.

I secretly asked Guan Fei for helping him secretly, this is the only fig leaf to protect his face.

Zhang Shengguo and Zhao Zhonghua sat closer. They seemed to hear something, but they all turned their heads and looked at the celebratory scene outside, smiling.
Chapter completed!
