Chapter 128 How Can You Come Back Empty-Handed
The two reporters came with excitement and returned in disappointment.
Finally, I met the legendary Wu Ming, and he looked so cold and charming. They used the words provided by Yipin Jiangshan Bar. As long as the Central News Agency brand was revealed, it would be easy to speak. No matter how capable Wu Ming was, he would not dare to openly reject any request from the Central News Agency reporter.
As a result, Wu Ming did not miss them at all. Although he was polite when he met, he refused to answer any questions involving the battle process, refused to take photos, and refused to reporters to interview any spy company officers and soldiers, which made the delicate female reporter beg Zhejiang fellow Yu Jishi.
Yu Jishi has now understood Wu Ming's character and better understands the role and significance of Wu Ming's spy company, so he can only explain the requirements of the two reporters with tactful explanations and make excuses on the grounds of involvement of military secrets.
Yu Jishi was very confused about Wu Ming's refusal to take photos. Who wouldn't want to become famous nowadays as long as he is an officer these days? Countless people even have only a little success, and they wish they could know it immediately. Only Wu Ming seems to be disdainful of fame, which made Yu Jishi deeply puzzled, but he secretly admired it.
The two reporters finally got the promise of Yu Ji when they asked him to leave, and whispered and complained that they didn't care about this broken place and wanted to go to Chengnan to interview General Chen Cheng who was about to come back.
Chen Shi was just watching the reporter walk out of the camp, and smiled at Wu Ming and said, "You have offended others, I'm afraid no one is willing to say good things to you in the future."
Wu Ming doesn't care: "It's better to forget me and save trouble."
Chen Shi was laughing in silence, and had no choice but to turn the topic to the day after tomorrow's return journey.
Wu Ming suddenly remembered that he saw the modified wheeled armored vehicle that was obviously thrown into the ditch due to a severe collision:
"Chief of Staff, I wonder if you have noticed it? There is a deep ditch on the side of the curve of the highway about 1.5 kilometers outside the north gate. The water is not big, about seven meters wide. There is a wheeled armored vehicle below that was not decent. It seems that no one has time to pick it up, and no one can repair it well."
Chen Shi was thinking for a while: "I didn't pay much attention... But I know that when the wheeled armored vehicle you mentioned, I received four such modified vehicles when I was in the Central Guard Division. The cars were imported from the United States. The cars were jointly modified by the Jinling Arsenal and the Automobile Repair Factory under the General Staff Headquarters. The car was removed and the steel plate was welded. There was a rotating base for heavy machine guns on the top of the center. It was usually used for battlefield reconnaissance, but almost no one tried it."
"I heard that before this war, eight such modified vehicles and six French tanks were transported, but before the battle started, six French tanks broke down one after another. I don't know the eight modified vehicles."
"Which unit was originally assigned to? Will it be directly under General Chen Cheng's front command center?" Wu Ming asked.
"It must be the command center of the front enemy, but... General Cixiu has resigned and has resigned from his post as a part-time position. It is estimated that he will return to Nanchang alone tonight or early tomorrow morning to handle it. Now General Wu Qiwei is acting as the commander-in-chief. If you are really interested, I will ask you when you go back. I believe a scrapped car will not be a problem."
After Chen Shiwuzheng finished speaking, he asked again: "I really need the text to be provided to you by Yipin Jiangshan Bar. How do you get it back? That thing is heavy and it is all steel!"
Wu Ming scratched his head: "I can dismantle it. It would be even better if I could get a ride. Even if it could not be transported to Quzhou, it would be easier to transport it to Shangrao..."
"Why do you like that kind of car? Don't you have several high-power American Dodge cars in western Zhejiang?" Chen Shi was very curious.
Wu Ming had to whisper: "I asked my men to look at the car in Chengbeigou. The shell was seriously deformed, but the engine and chassis were fine. Change the water tank and the shell, and then repair it carefully and it would be useful. Even the two dirty spare tires were new.,,
Chen Shizheng was slightly surprised: "So that's the case. Can Quzhou be repaired?"
"If you can repair it, several foreign technicians from Quzhou Metal Products Company can repair it, and their subordinates will do it. If they really can't do it, they will change the parts and order it from the US agent in Shanghai. I have a way to do this and guarantee that the goods will arrive within one and a half months." Wu Ming replied.
Chen Shi was pondering for a moment: "Since that's the case, there are three accident cars in the military station. It seems that they have just bought them not long ago, and they are all six-wheeled one-and-a-half-ton Ford trucks. They are not hit hard, but no one can repair them. They are thrown there for almost a month in the sun and rain. If you ask the division seat to help you talk about it, maybe the military station can be included in the combat damage supplies. If you take them back and repair them, you can form a car company."
Wu Ming was overjoyed, but he was not sure: "This matter is probably not easy to deal with. The military station is a ** system. Although the military station may know the division seats, it is related to three large trucks..."
"You really don't know?" Chen Shi interrupted Wu Ming in confusion.
Wu Ming was stunned: "What do you know?"
Chen Shizheng had to quietly tell Wu Ming: "The first General Fei Peng, the chief of the Military Control Commission, is the relative uncle of the division. The successor General Zhu Kongyang is also from our Fenghua. He is the uncle of the division. All the troops stations in the army are under his control. Do you understand? The text is provided by Yipin Jiangshan Bar."
Wu Ming suddenly realized: "No wonder... I said why I had supplemented us with so many supplies and ammunition, and even gave us high-waisted horse boots. I'm afraid that the main division of the Central Army would not have the treatment and enjoyment. So that's how it is. My subordinates understand!"
Chen Shizheng laughed: "Go, the division seat will go outside the south gate to welcome General Cixiu and his party. The military station will also go to the jail station. It's just right to hurry up and talk about this."
"Thank you, Chief of Staff!"
Wu Ming immediately walked to Yu Jishi, who was chatting with the officers and soldiers, and whispered in his ear.
Yu Jishi looked at Wu Ming who was grinning and agreed to help ask. Wu Ming, who knew the nepotism of the officialdom, immediately thanked him. With Yu Jishi's words, there was basically no problem.
The next morning, Wu Ming and his brothers were still resting. Yu Jishi sent his adjutant Zhang Yingnian to find Wu Ming and accompanied Wu Ming to the East Military Station to see the broken cars.
When they arrived at the place, the major general's military station prison did not show up. The person who came forward to receive a lieutenant colonel was very familiar with Zhang Yingnian. When they met, they joked unscrupulously. It took a while before they could remember Wu Ming.
After listening to Zhang Yingnian's proud introduction, the lieutenant colonel immediately put away his smile and saluted Wu Ming solemnly: "I don't know it is Chief Wu, please forgive me! I, Qi Ke, graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu Engineering Department, and I also served in the Zhejiang Army before. When I went home during the Spring Festival, I heard that my brother Liu Rulin mentioned Chief Wu. My subordinates have been famous for a long time. I will meet today and have a blessing in my life!"
Zhang Yingnian was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about it: "Speaking of it, it's a family, haha! Wu Ming, I said, can you wear formal clothes in the future? Always wearing soldier clothes will damage your reputation!"
"I originally planned to go back to the north of the city to dismantle the broken car, so I'm reluctant to wear my new military uniform! Hello Brother Qi, I'm very happy to see you. Please take care of me in the future!"
Wu Ming took the initiative to stretch out his hand and held Qi Ke tightly.
Qi Ke was very easy to talk to and soon took Wu Ming to the open space on the side of the warehouse, provided by Yipin Jiangshan Bar, pointed to the three cars and told Wu Ming in detail, saying that two of them only needed to change the water tank, transmission shaft and two tires, and then knocked the shell and sprayed it with paint, which was probably similar to the new one.
Qi Ke finally pointed to the car that had been severely deformed and blood-stained on the side of the car, and suggested that Wu Ming not to ask for it. There are three accident cars in Shangrao warehouse, which are similar to the two outside. If Wu Ming needs it, he can pick up the goods. The temporary military warehouse in Shangrao is under the jurisdiction of the Nancheng Military Station, and it is fine to cancel it. Finally, it also means that a convoy will return to Shangrao tomorrow and can pull these two accident cars and the parts removed from the north of Cheng to Shangrao together.
Wu Ming thanked him repeatedly, very grateful. He immediately took out his notebook from his pocket and asked Qi Ke to leave his mailing address, then wrote down his mailing address, and tore it off and handed it to Qi Ke:
"The address and phone number of Quzhou and Changshan are both above. If Brother Qi passes by in the future, he will definitely stop and have a drink. If there is any younger brother who can serve him, Brother Qi will just say O."
Qi Ke happily accepted it. Others didn't know Wu Ming's wealth and his power in western Zhejiang. He knew that Wu Ming gave a brand new American car to Zhou Wenyan, director of the Quzhou Party Department, Qi Ke also knew about Gu Qing, so he attached great importance to Wu Ming, a new friend.
The next morning, Qi Ke personally followed the car to the intersection of Chengbei Road, sent an empty car to carry Wu Ming's regiment's engineers to the curve in front to install the parts of the armored vehicle that had been removed, then pulled Wu Ming aside, pointed to the truck compartment of the two towing accident vehicles and told Wu Ming:
"There are more than 80 boxes under the tarpaulin, which are filled with more than 50 damaged light and heavy machine guns and a batch of parts. I know that you have a small arsenal in Quzhou, and you are hired as foreign technicians to see if you can repair it. If you can repair it, repair it. If you can't repair it, remove the parts.
Wu Ming was very grateful: "I won't say thank you anymore! If you want to say thank you, I will be out of here. I am not very good at speaking and like to keep everything in my heart."
Qi Ke grinned and laughed, and after laughing, he waved his hand and walked back. Wu Ming was deeply moved, knowing that this favor was not too great.
Zhang Dongning leaned over and asked, "Brother Ming, who is this person? He seems to be quite familiar with you."
"It was my new friend, introduced by the Seizuku and Adjutant Zhang. His name was Qi Ke, a Phase IV of Huangpu. After the split of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he returned to Zhejiang to join the Zhejiang Army and was a family friend with Liu Rulin... At present, he is in the Nancheng Military Station system. These two six-wheeled trucks were dragged away, and three such cars were placed in Shangrao. They were all given to us by him. After going back to repair them, they bought a few more and formed a heavy artillery battalion, and used these cars to pull them away." Wu Ming whispered.
Zhang Dongning was shocked: "He is so generous?"
"First, for the sake of the teacher's face, second, the text of Brother Liu is provided by Yipin Jiangshan Bar, and third, the vehicles we gave us are all accident cars. If there is an accident report, they can cancel it in the name of war damage without taking any risks."
Wu Ming whispered to Zhang Dongning that all these things must be known, and that intelligence and communication are the job of Zhang Dongning.
Zhang Dongning sighed: "Brother Ming, I have never seen you return empty-handed for so many years with you, so I am completely convinced of you!"
Wu Ming smiled and said, "Go back empty-handed? Why do thousands of brothers beat them to death? Isn't it just a good life? I can't let me return empty-handed. Even if it's a mosquito, I want to pick it off, let alone the rich Central Army? Don't waste these bastards. When you come to Shangrao, take a look, hum! I'll scrape him another layer!"
Zhang Dongning was shocked and subconsciously moved away from Wu Ming, but Wu Ming had already walked towards the two drivers, asked a few questions in a kind way before turning back.
Not long after, the adjutant Han Tiecheng came over with four cigarettes and one hundred oceans from the newspaper bag and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the two drivers. After finishing, he left without turning around. It took a while for the two drivers to react. After counting the money, he opened the newspaper and couldn't help but praise Wu Ming.
