Duanwu hummed a song and approached the small conference room. When Li Zhongren, Commander Yu and others saw it, they felt that everything must have gone well, otherwise why would they be so happy?
But little did they know that Dragon Boat Festival was all just an act. Only he knew how painful he felt at this time.
Li Zhongren asked: "Is it done?"
Duanwu waved his hands and said: "Half and half."
Li Zhongren asked worriedly: "What does half and half mean?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "That's right. Regarding the seizure of supplies, the old man has already agreed. I think it won't be long before the order will be issued. However, he said that he still needs to think about the artillery brigade. You also know that now
There are fightings everywhere, and requests for artillery reinforcements are everywhere, so this artillery brigade will have to wait a little longer."
Li Zhongren shook his head and said: "I understand this word. It's no time. Boy, you are still young. You don't understand the Taoism here."
Duanwu thought to himself: He just said it, this Li Zhongren is not easy to fool.
However, it was not that he was unprepared. Instead, he put his arm around Li Zhongren's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Old Li. The Chairman's artillery brigade may be far away, but my artillery regiment will definitely be ready for you."
Li Zhongren looked back at Duanwu, studied Duanwu's serious expression for a while, and then said for a long time: "I will listen seriously. If you get me a cannon regiment, our account will be completely settled, and by then,
I will also buy you a drink."
Duanwu stretched out his hand, Li Zhongren shook hands with Duanwu, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and the agreement was concluded.
Then Li Zhongren invited Duanwu to live in his mansion, but Commander Yu said: "Should we go back too? The other generals have already left long ago."
Duanwu stopped him and said: "Lao Yu, it's not safe to walk at night. Tomorrow I will be the host of a big restaurant in Xuzhou. Let's have a good meal for him. Let's go again tomorrow. By the way, Lao Zhang, in the living room of Lao Li's house
But there is a Mosin Nagant hanging, let’s go take a look together?”
Zhang Zhizhong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then let's all stay at Commander Li's house today?"
Li Zhongren said: "Welcome to you. This guy is going to treat us tomorrow. We have to give him a good meal."
"Go, go, go!"
The Dragon Boat Festival was so busy that he actually walked to the front.
The headquarters was not far from Li Zhongren's residence. Within a quarter of an hour, the four of them returned to Li Zhongren's residence.
When I arrived at Li Zhongren's living room during the Dragon Boat Festival, I took down the Mosin Nagant.
Li Zhongren scolded: "That's what I use for hunting. You kid, don't always worry about my gun."
Duanwu said: "Isn't it just a broken gun? Let me tell you, in the future, I will be equipped with one for every class in my regiment."
Li Zhongren said: "You are just bragging, and each squad is equipped with one? My entire legion only has eleven sniper rifles."
Duanwu said: "You, Lao Li, just buckle. You have equipped the troops with weapons and equipment early. How can you be so arrogant?"
Li Zhongren said: "You just don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Foreigners' things are so expensive. I bought rifles back then, but I spent a lot of money in vain, and some of the guns were second-hand."
Duanwu joked: "This reminds me of a story. Once upon a time, there were two rabbits, a little white rabbit and a little black rabbit. When winter came, Grandpa Goat gave each of them a cart of cabbage for the winter.
What about the little black rabbit? He accepted it and politely said thank you.
But what about the little white rabbit? He doesn’t want the cabbage.”
"Isn't this the story of the little gray rabbit and the little white rabbit? Can you change the color? Just pretend that we can't hear it?"
Before the story of the Dragon Boat Festival was finished, Li Zhongren said angrily. Although he was old, how could he not know such a story that all children know?
General Zhang Zhizhong also said: "Yes, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the little white rabbit asked for seeds and gave Uncle Goat a cart of vegetables next year. He also said: Only by growing your own can you have endless vegetables, right?"
Li Zhongren said angrily: "This little bastard, you think we are all stupid?"
Commander Yu also said: "Brother Duanwu, Commander Li and General Zhang are different from me. I am a rough man, but these two have gone to college."
Duanwu echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, I have gone to college and understand the principles, but I just don't do it. You all know that only by growing your own can you have endless vegetables, why don't you do it? Look at others
Marshal Zhang, are we the same generation as you, right? He makes guns, cannons, and airplanes. He is the white rabbit, and you are all black rabbits."
"Hey, you bastard, you actually called us rabbits?"
Li Zhongren was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Commander Yu stopped him. Instead, General Zhang was silent for a moment and said: "Duanwu is right. We have gone to college and understand the principles, but we didn't do it. Then
It was no different from the gray rabbit. Instead, Dashuai Zhang walked in front of us.
The localization of weapons and equipment is important. Take our current weapons and equipment as an example, they are made by all countries. It is very difficult to supply ammunition to the front line because the types of firearms used are different.
On the other hand, what about the little devils? The weapons and firearms made by themselves are of the same caliber, so the supply in the rear is very convenient."
Li Zhongren sighed after hearing this, because General Zhang was right, their weapons and equipment were indeed too complicated.
And what Duanwu said is even more correct. If they had thought of making their own weapons instead of buying them, maybe the Sino-Japanese war would not be like this.
But the hardest thing to buy in this world is the medicine of regret, and there is no chance to start over in life. And all they have to do is what they should do tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Li Zhongren couldn't help but look at Duanwu, that brat who could make people angry with his words. Although his mouth smelled bad, it had to be said that he could get to the point every time.
He felt that perhaps it was precisely because of this that this brat could win every battle!
It's just that Duanwu always thinks about his gun, which makes him unbearable. He said to Duanwu: "Even if you kid is right, I can't give you this gun."
Duanwu said with a smile: "I don't want it, I'm just borrowing it. There's nothing in the army to beat as a sacrifice these days. I'm thinking of shooting a wild boar and bringing it back. Lend me your gun. One hundred rounds of ammunition will be enough.
I've run out of time and I'll bring you an artillery regiment. Isn't it a loss for you, Old Li?"
Zhang Zhizhong advised from the side: "Commander Li is really worthy of this. If I had a Mosin Nagant, let alone borrowing it, I would give it to him on the spot."
Li Zhongren snorted angrily and said: "Huh, you guys are just watching the fun and don't know what's going on. It took me a lot of effort to get this gun? A gun costs more than 1,300 yuan.
That’s enough to buy a cannon.”
However, Li Zhongren then thought about it, if Dragon Boat Festival could really bring him an artillery regiment, this gun would really be nothing.
So Li Zhongren said to Duanwu: "I can lend you the gun, but if you dare to break your promise, I will never let you go!"
