Chapter 185 Talk before the business trip
Chen Yan looked at the commander's sharp gaze and kept dodging.
"Chief, don't look at me like that, I'm shy."
"Stop playing tricks on me and tell me honestly how you knew about this."
"Commander, my head hurts. How about we talk about it tomorrow..."
"Even if your head explodes today, you have to die in front of me. Don't try to get away with it."
Chen Yan: “!!!”
Do you have to be so cruel!
"Okay, I'll confess.
that...
Comrade Li Yunlong told me this, but I don’t know how he knew it.”
After Chen Yan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Gang guiltily.
Old Li, please don't blame me.
Rely on your parents at home and cheat your brothers when you go out. You have to bear the consequences.
I really can't continue.
There are many people who die unjustly every year, and you are not the only one left.
Zhao Gang looked as if he had eaten a dead child, his face was extremely bad.
Damn, this is why I came with you today. If it was Lao Li who came...
This kid really wants to kill as many people as he can!
At this time, Li Yunlong was wrapped in a quilt in his room, sneezing continuously.
"A-choo~".
"It's not cold at this time, how strange."
After listening to Chen Yan's explanation, the commander looked at Zhao Gang:
"Is what he said true?"
"Don't ask me, Chief, I don't know anything.
I feel really down right now, I need to see a military doctor, you guys talk."
After saying that, Zhao Gang ran away without even looking back.
"No, Lao Zhao, wait for me..."
Just as Chen Yan was about to run, the commander threw the bowl in his hand to the ground.
"Lao Zhao, wait for me... I'll get you some clothes. Put on your coat. It's cold outside.
Chief, you see, our comrades have exhausted themselves for the revolution.
You also need to take care of yourself, I will serve you another bowl of porridge."
When Chen Yan put the porridge in front of the leader, he was so restless that he sat on the stool as if he was being pricked by needles.
The commander's face was like a pool of stagnant water, and his eyes were staring at Chen Yan like knives. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"You don't have to hide it anymore. I won't pursue this matter. Remember it and don't do it again."
Amitabha!
Chen Yan kept praying in his heart, feeling lucky to have escaped the disaster.
Brigade commander, I guess the leader has already guessed it, but I didn’t say anything, so don’t blame me for getting scolded.
At this time, the commander cursed fiercely:
"This Li Yunlong, I think he's itching to do something again. He has forgotten what happened with the sewing machine last year."
"Li Yunlong!".
At this time, Chen Yan blurted out the words without thinking.
The commander raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it just this bastard who is spreading gossip outside?
Your people should go back and educate him properly. This old guy is old, how come he still has the bad habit of gossiping about his wife?"
Chen Yan said angrily:
"The leader's advice is correct. It may be that Mr. Li has been single for too long and likes to hang out with female comrades, which has caused problems."
"What's the matter? Li Yunlong is still hanging out with female comrades? It seems like I really have to teach him a lesson."
Damn, I have such a bad mouth!
Old Li, I feel so sorry for your eight generations of ancestors!
Chen Yan covered up the matter with a few words and then talked about business with the commander.
"Chief, the current situation is quite tense. The Japanese army is marching southward in a long line and continuously invading Chinese territory. The Japanese ambitions are obvious. I don't think even the concession in Shanghai can hold out for long."
The commander blew out a smoke ring and said, "Once the Japanese attack the concession, it would be equivalent to declaring war on capitalist countries such as Britain and the United States. Is this possible?"
Chen Yan knows this matter better than anyone else.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War on December 1941, 12, the Japanese army almost bombed the US gunboats in the Huangpu River.
Chen Yan said helplessly:
"Commander, there is nothing a mentally ill person can't do. The Japanese may seem arrogant, but in fact they are ready for a do-or-die battle.
Japan's island resources were already scarce, and coupled with years of war, the domestic economy was close to collapse.
In other words, Japan is almost ruined. If you were in this situation, would you still have anything to worry about when it comes to a life-and-death situation?"
Seeing the commander's gloomy face, Chen Yan continued:
"What we have to do now is to see who can resist the Japanese. Obviously, our Eighth Route Army is in a worse situation than the Japanese. I thought that if the military production capacity can't keep up, we will be torn to pieces by the Japanese devils.
Considering what you have told me, I intend to immediately start preparations for the construction of the military factory."
The commander nodded and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"The military factory is in a good location with convenient transportation. The next thing to consider is the equipment.
It is definitely not enough to just rely on the outdated equipment in the logistics department, otherwise you would not let me set up a new military factory. So the next step is to build a production line.
The Japanese blockade our seas, so it is impossible to buy new ones. President Jiang will definitely not support us, so there is only one way, I plan to try my luck in Shanghai."
The commander pondered for a moment and said, "Shanghai is an industrial capital, so there must be equipment. It is also a place where all kinds of people gather. It would be a good idea to have more channels."
"Well, you are right, but we have to act quickly when going to Shanghai. I am afraid the day when the Shanghai Concession will fall is not far away."
"When do you plan to leave?".
"Just recently, I'll start preparing when I get home tonight."
"Well, okay, I approve this. You will be fully responsible for all matters related to the trip to Shanghai.
In addition, I will contact our party comrades in Shanghai and they will assist you when the time comes."
After saying that, the commander passed a cigarette to him. Just as Chen Yan was about to light it for him, the commander waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
"By the way, are you 30 years old this year?"
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and stammered:
"No...no, what's the matter!"
The commander said thoughtfully:
"Not yet 30, um..."
Chen Yan was not sure what the commander meant, and then the commander said:
"Can you hold on?".
"...".
Chen Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"We have to hold on even if we can't. Every Chinese person is trying hard to hold on."
Chen Yan stood up solemnly and saluted:
"Commander, I am not sure whether I can complete the task assigned to me by the organization this time.
However, please rest assured, Chief, Chen Yan will do his best.
I am aware of the importance of this matter to the development of our army."
The commander looked at Chen Yan with relief in his eyes:
"The extra soldiers from the Second and Third columns will be allocated to your independent column of 3000 people.
There will be no more if you add any, so go away."
Hearing this, Chen Yan's eyes flashed with excitement, "Thank you, Commander!"
