The brothers of the Third Company walked back to the West Camp. They were wearing brand-new, well-fitting military uniforms and newly issued yellow canvas-top black rubber-soled, deep-patterned lace-up military shoes. They were fully armed.
In addition, I just did something extremely shameless yesterday, and in the evening I enjoyed a sumptuous banquet of fish and meat from the folks in Lincun. Company Commander An Yi also loudly announced at the banquet that each person would be rewarded five yuan after returning to camp, so the three companies
The brothers all felt extremely glorious. When they entered the camp, they walked in such a posture that they couldn't help but think of themselves as heroes returning in triumph.
Because Liu Zhi and others really couldn't stand the military appearance of the Third Company, they immediately ordered the Military Supplies Department to send brand new clothes, shoes and hats after returning to the camp yesterday. Along with these items being delivered to An Yi, there was also a death order:
Strict queue training must be completed within a week, and systematic education on military appearance and discipline must be completed, and the requirements of the "Code of Conduct" must be met.
An Yi and others knew that Shangfeng was worried about being laughed at by the friendly forces on the day of the competition, so this matter of face must not only be careful but also must not be vague.
After returning to the camp, the three of them together, Huzi was responsible for the eight-kilometer endurance, formation and basic skills training in full gear every day, while Yin Jinan was responsible for the study of various regulations and soldier drills at night. During the day, An Yi and Yin Jinan would be responsible for the intensive training period.
Analyze and summarize the various recorded data, improve and purchase various auxiliary tools, and strive to perform better in the competition on the 29th.
For five consecutive days, An Yi stayed at his desk to sort out information, study countermeasures, and conduct detailed analysis and comparison of the reports on the daily training and combat effectiveness of his engineer battalion that the division's special agent company had sneaked into Zhang Huizhan's jurisdiction for investigation, in order to identify gaps and exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Until this time, An Yi, Yin Jinan and Hu Zi did not know that Liu She and others had already made the upcoming small competition more and more popular. The military headquarters were stationed in Guangzhou City and the surrounding areas among the senior leaders of the First to Sixth Armies.
Rumors have already spread that Zhang Huizhan and Liu Zhen, fighting for their own dignity, held an unpopular engineering and soldier skills competition, and actually persuaded the Military Command Department, Military Training Department and Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission to conduct arbitration. Privately, Zhang Huizhan and Liu Zhen had
The bet was on, and none of the generals and commanders under his command would accept the other. The bet had been increased from 5,000 to 20,000. It was said that the Fourth Division, who was fond of gambling, was very satisfied with its ambitions and made several suggestions to bet bigger. Liu, who had just established an engineering battalion,
While Zhi was hesitating, other military generals were also secretly fanning the flames to join in the fun. Many people asked if they could have fun by betting, so it was estimated that the bets were likely to get bigger and bigger.
On Sunday, An Yi, who finally got a day off, drove the truck to Ou Yaoting's house as promised. When he handed the key to the housekeeper, Uncle Quan, Ou Yaoting stepped out to welcome him: "Oh, Xiao Yi, why are you so black and thin?"
of?"
"We are preparing for the Northern Expedition. The entire army is making preparations. Our engineering battalion has just been established, so training is very busy during this period."
An Yi answered politely, but his eyes glanced around from time to time, looking for Chu'er.
Ou Yaoting nodded: "Thank you for your hard work... I received your call last night. I forgot to tell Chu'er that today Chu'er and her mother went to her aunt's house to drink full-moon wine, and they will probably be back in the afternoon. Come on, little one
Yi, let’s go to the study room to have a cup of tea and chat, there are many things that need to be discussed with you.”
"Okay, please, Mr. Ou."
An Yi thought it was another business matter, so he readily agreed. He felt that it was almost lunch time after the chat, so he could have something to eat and I guess Chu'er would be back by then. It would be difficult to get another leave after today, as the army would be leaving at the beginning of next month.
The Northern Expedition, I don’t know when we will meet again on this journey.
The two sat down, and the servant also served fragrant tea. Ou Yaoting waved the servant away and asked her to close the door, signaling to An Yi:
"Xiaoyi, you paid for the purchase of military supplies for your company, but you asked me to accept the gratitude and respect of the National Government and the military generals with this honor. I feel very uncomfortable! Although you are thoughtful, you don't want to let your superiors and
Colleagues have learned about your true wealth, but I still admire your patriotism and love for the army. I admire you for knowing the secret strategy at such a young age. You are restrained and can handle all aspects of relationships with ease. It is very rare. You will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
What a great achievement!"
"Sir, you are really flattering me! I was just worried that my family background would be exposed too early, so I had to do this. Furthermore, the brothers in my company were my first capital to enter the military world, just like doing
Business is the same. I can't ruin my capital, so I try my best to find ways to equip some new things. There is also a very important reason. The brothers under me are all real hard-working brothers. Most of them are in
Those who followed me when they were desperate, we couldn’t let them suffer, we had to try our best to save their lives and let them live a better life. After all, I have suffered it myself, so I understand them." An Yi said frankly.
Ou Yaoting stared at An Yi in surprise for a while, sighed, and nodded: "A character like yours is rare in today's troubled times! Xiao Yi, I have thought about it over and over during this period, and I feel that it is still
It’s time to tell you what’s in my heart openly and honestly. I ask you to think carefully again and stay. Stay and help me. I need you very much. I plan to put all the business in Guangzhou on your shoulders. I believe you will
You can do better than me."
An Yi looked into Ou Yaoting's sincere eyes, shocked by his big decision and such a quick change in attitude, and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
