I rise from the sword

Chapter 85
After a while, Niu Bold brought over two cups of coffee on a tray.

"Miss Yan, please!"

Yang Lin raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

"Then I'm welcome."

Yan Zhirou first picked up the spoon and stirred it gracefully, then picked up the cup and took a sip, then thanked politely: "Battlemaster Yang, this coffee tastes very good, thank you!"

"you are welcome!"

Yang Lin is a person with strong insight. Although it is only the second time he met Yan Zhirou, he has already analyzed Yan Zhirou's behavior, conversation and dress. Her identity must not be simple. It is absolutely impossible for her to be an ordinary war reporter.

Being able to obtain a special pass issued by the war zone chief's department, based on this alone, is simply not something ordinary people can do.

Putting down the cup, Yan Zhirou said, "Battle Commander Yang, before interviewing you, I have interviewed many national army, even the generals and officers of the Eighth Route Army. The first impression you gave me is very special."

"Oh, is it?"

Yang Lin gave the other party a strange look, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, since Ms. Yan came to my independent camp for an exclusive interview, she must have done a simple investigation on Yang beforehand, and she also knew that I came from a reckless family.

So, do you feel that I still have some bandit habits? "

"No no no!"

When Yan Zhirou heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "I think you must have misunderstood me, Commander Yang."

"Our Chinese ancestors have an old saying that a hero doesn't ask where he came from."

"So, what's the matter even if you come from a reckless family?"

"On the contrary, many generals with professional backgrounds have never seen them win any battles!"

Yan Zhirou sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said: "Battle Commander Yang, I say you are special because you have all the strategies and talents of other officers and generals, and even surpass them.

And your frankness and true temperament are not found in many military officers. Among the generals I interviewed, many of them took credit for their arrogance, disrespected and despised women, and acted like a high-ranking old warlord with bad habits..."

Yang Lin said with a cheeky smile: "Miss Yan, why do I hear you seem to be praising me, Yang Lin?"

"It can't be regarded as a compliment. It should be said that it is explaining a fact." Yan Zhirou nodded and gave a pertinent evaluation, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"Miss Yan, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? In order to express my gratitude for your compliment, I will take care of your lunch!" Yang Lin greeted the monk standing at the door: "Monk ,come here."

The monk walked into the reception room and asked, "Battle Commander, what do you want from me?"

"Monk, let the cooking class take out all the delicious food in our camp. I want to treat Miss Yan well. Remember, chicken legs must be added!"

"Yes, battalion commander."

The monk responded, then turned around and went out to the cooking class.

Yan Zhirou was amused by Yang Lin's words, and said with a smile: "Battle Commander Yang, I see your attitude, as if I don't praise you, so I don't care about lunch?"

Yang Lin was joking, and jokingly said: "Miss Yan, you came to my place, and you still want to eat without praising me?

I'm not afraid to tell you, that is, you didn't speak ill of me, otherwise, as soon as you walk away, I will immediately shoot you from behind.

Then plant it on the heads of the bandits in Heiyunzhai! "

"Commander Yang, you are really different from other officers.

It's the first time I've seen such an unassuming and funny officer like you, giggling..." Yan Zhirou laughed happily, she hadn't been in such a happy mood for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Lin invited dinner enthusiastically on the surface, but in fact, he had some purpose.

Yang Lin has always been calculating, even when he asked Li Yunlong to buy military uniforms, he gave him an IOU. How could he invite this meal for nothing?

He intentionally kept Yan Zhirou for dinner because he had something to ask for.

Yang Lin knew how powerful the pen in the reporter's hand was. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a wonderful pen.

Used well, it is indeed more effective than thousands of troops.

Moreover, look at Yan Zhirou's manner of speaking and manner, as well as her dressing temperament.

Yang Lin can be sure that the identity of the other party must not be simple, and he must know many rich and famous people and celebrities from all walks of life.

He is a person who knows how to assess the situation and seize opportunities. If he can make friends with such a famous lady, it will be of great help to him in the future war of resistance, and he can also get a lot of convenience and support.

Since the other party is a war reporter, he must have published articles in newspapers.

Right now, Yang Lin is worrying about the lack of troops and supplies for the expansion of the independent battalion. As long as he is happy with Yan Zhirou and let the other party move his pen a little, won't the source of troops and military salary come?
Thinking of this, Yang Lin said: "Miss Yan, I have read the article you published in the newspaper. Your pen is really powerful. It not only denounced the traitors who betrayed the country and exposed the inhumanity of the Japanese invaders, but also inspired people. The enthusiasm of the people of the whole country to fight against Japan led more people to join the anti-Japanese front.

A pen in your hand is really comparable to thousands of troops..."

Although Yang Lin has never read newspapers, it does not prevent him from using his imagination.

Of course, besides flattering the other party by saying such beautiful words, Yang Lin actually admires such a patriotic young woman very much in his heart.

Because as a war reporter, you need to often walk on the edge of the battlefield, which is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Especially when the other party is a woman.

Yan Zhirou has the wisdom and delicacy of a woman. As a reporter, she is very keen on capturing topics, and she seems to have heard other deep meanings from Yang Lin's compliments.

She put down the coffee in her hand, and said calmly: "Battle Commander Yang, you have a good way of touting beautiful words.

It's just, I'm afraid your big meal is not for nothing, right? "

"Why do I feel like a Hongmen banquet?"

Seen through by the other party, Yang Lin smiled embarrassingly to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "Miss Yan, I'm not flattering you, a war reporter needs to walk on the battlefield all year round, which is a very dangerous profession.

And the pens in your hands have awakened many patriotic and passionate young people so that they can devote themselves to this war of resisting Japan and saving the nation.

Although you did not personally participate in the battle, your role is comparable to that of a thousand horses and thousands of troops.

Therefore, for Miss Yan, I, Yang, respect you from the bottom of my heart.

If Ms. Yan can give her face and stay for a light meal, I, Yang Lin, and all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion will be very honored! "

Yan Zhirou was very grateful in her heart, but she also knew that Yang Lin was definitely not praising herself for no purpose.

She gave me a look that saw through your thoughts, and said: "Battle Commander Yang, you are very good at chatting and speaking, to be honest, if you are not a soldier, you are really very suitable to be a reporter.

So, if you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush, just get straight to the point. "
