Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"The Japanese at that time could no longer hold on, and their domestic economy was about to collapse. However, because of the indemnity from the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese managed to survive and even seized the opportunity to soar to the sky, and even had the ability to launch invasions against us later." Xu Qingfeng was so angry when he talked about this. The Qing Dynasty was really a disaster.

"Damn it, if the Qing Dynasty could withstand the pressure back then, the Japanese would have collapsed long ago, and there would not have been the current invasion." Chu Yunfei couldn't help but swear after hearing this. He was a very cultured person and seldom swore, but at this moment he really couldn't help it.

"That's true, maybe not necessarily, but the Japs definitely wouldn't have developed to the point they are now." Xu Qingfeng replied.

Even if the Qing Dynasty held out, the Japs might not collapse so quickly. They just wouldn't develop so fast, and it would be even less likely for them to have the opportunity to invade them so soon.

"What a disaster!" Fang Ligong also said.

"In short, no matter how much you say, it's useless and it won't change anything." Xu Qingfeng shook his head. He didn't want to continue on this topic, as he might get angry to death.

Afterwards, everyone chatted about other topics casually, such as the current development of the 358th Regiment. Of course, Chu Yunfei and the others were also asking indirectly, wanting to know to what extent the special operations regiment has developed, but Xu Qingfeng evaded the question.

It is very necessary to maintain the mystery of the special operations regiment so that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will not dare to act rashly.

After everyone had eaten, Chu Yunfei began to arrange accommodation for Xu Qingfeng and the others.

Xu Qingfeng and his friends were basically arranged to live in separate dormitories, which were adjacent to each other.

"This accommodation is not particularly good, Captain Xu, please make do with it." Chu Yunfei said in the room.

"Not bad." Xu Qingfeng looked around the room. The air had a light fragrance, the cups were neatly stacked on the bedside, and there was no garbage on the floor, obviously it had been cleaned.

"Captain Xu, you take a rest first. I'll leave first." Chu Yunfei turned and left.

But Fang Ligong didn't leave. Instead, he whispered, "There's something in the drawer for you. Please don't reject it."

After saying this, Fang Ligong left, closing the door behind him.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

Xu Qingfeng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, walked to the window, and took a look at the layout of the military camp.

Since entering the military camp, he has memorized the layout of the camp, and it has become a habit for him.

He glanced at the drawer next to him, which was ajar. Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but open the drawer and take a look, only to find a package in it.

"I'll just take a look and not touch it." Xu Qingfeng thought to himself, and reached out to pick up the thing. It was a little heavy. After opening the paper, he found a few small yellow croakers wrapped inside.

"Are you trying to use the gold bars to build good relationships?!" Xu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly, wrapped the gold bars, put them back in their original place, and closed the drawer tightly.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?!" Xu Qingfeng asked and walked towards the door.

"Deputy Commander, it's me." Liu Changshun's voice came in.

Xu Qingfeng opened the door and found that not only Liu Changshun was there, but also several other battalion commanders.

"Come in." Xu Qingfeng made way, and Liu Changshun and the others entered the room one after another.

"Deputy Captain, I found gold bars in the drawer of the room! They gave them to us." Liu Changshun took out something wrapped in paper from his arms mysteriously.

"We have some too, and they said it was a gift to us." Others also took them out.

Xu Qingfeng fell into deep thought. Twenty or so gold bars was a big deal. Should he accept it? !

"Deputy Captain, should we accept it?!" Liu Changshun asked curiously. The others also looked at Xu Qingfeng, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Forget it. If I accept this thing, I won't be able to pay it back in the future!" Xu Qingfeng thought about it and refused reluctantly.

It is easy to collect money, but it will be troublesome in the future, so it is better to avoid trouble if you can.

"Ah?! These gold bars are not small, you really don't want them?!" Liu Changshun said somewhat disappointedly.

"Yes, we should accept it. It's a gift from them and we don't have to accept it! Besides, we have received a lot of money for the cooperation." Zhao Ming also felt that he should accept it.

"What do you know? If we accept this, we won't be able to explain ourselves. The money for cooperation is what we deserve, but this has nothing to do with cooperation.

You have to remember that free things are always the most expensive, especially when it comes to money! Do you understand?" Xu Qingfeng said seriously.

It is better for them not to take things that they should not take, so as not to ruin their reputation. If the 358th Regiment knows their identities in the future, they will probably make a fuss about the fact that they took money, so it is better not to take it if possible.

"Then forget it." Upon hearing this, Liu Changshun decisively gave up the idea.

"Okay, go back and have some rest. We'll be leaving tomorrow. Remember to put your things back where they were and don't take them!" Xu Qingfeng reminded again.

"Understood!" Everyone then left Xu Qingfeng's room and returned to their own rooms.

.........

On the other side, Fang Ligong followed Chu Yunfei and walked towards the meeting room.

"What did you just say to Xu Qingfeng?!" Chu Yunfei asked as he walked. He was not a fool. Fang Ligong did not come out in time just now, so he must have said something to Xu Qingfeng.

"Commander, it's nothing actually. I just asked someone to put some goodies in the drawer as gifts for them." Fang Ligong said with a smile.

"What is that?!" Chu Yunfei frowned. Fang Ligong actually acted on his own without consulting him.

"A few gold bars were not only released from Xu Qingfeng, but also from his battalion commander." Fang Ligong did not hide anything and told the whole story.

"Gold bars?! Where did you get the gold bars? Did you embezzle the gold bars given to Mu Jin?!" Chu Yunfei's face suddenly darkened.

"Commander, how is this possible? The gold bars were sent by someone behind the division commander, and the division commander told me to do this!" Fang Ligong hurriedly explained.

How could he have the guts to do that?

"Commander in chief, don't blame the division commander. He gave me the order because he was worried that you would not agree to do this." Fang Ligong continued to explain.

"I really won't do that, but can't the commander discuss it with me?!" Chu Yunfei was somewhat angry. He gave orders to Fang Ligong without him, almost ignoring him. "Anyway, it's done. Don't be too angry. After all, this matter is really important. Taking a few gold bars will make them think twice if they want to deal with us in the future." Fang Ligong said. After all, if Xu Qingfeng and his men accepted these gold bars, half of the problem would be solved.

"I'm afraid you'll end up losing more than you gain. Xu Qingfeng is not a simple man. He may have seen through your intentions.

Trying to build a good relationship with them in this way is simply foolish!" Chu Yunfei said angrily.

When talking with Xu Qingfeng at the dinner table, he could tell that Xu Qingfeng's abilities were extraordinary and far better than those of his peers. How could such a little trick be hidden from the other party's eyes?

"This, is it possible?! Even if he didn't take it, there would be officers under him who would have taken it, right?!" Fang Ligong said. Just because Xu Qingfeng could see it, it didn't mean that others could see it too.

"What should I say? Since he didn't take it, I'm sure you can guess that the thing wasn't just given to him. So, now the officers under you are also ordered not to take it!" Chu Yunfei felt a little disappointed.

Why is Fang Ligong considering things so one-sided? If things were that simple, he would have done it long ago. If others want to take it, they must get Xu Qingfeng's consent. If he doesn't agree, others will not dare to steal it.

Because the discipline of this Northeast Army was the strictest he had ever seen, and the soldiers strictly abided by it, he had never thought of using this method to build relationships.

But he didn't expect that the commander would actually let Fang Ligong do this, which directly ruined the plan.

"What should we do then?!" Fang Ligong frowned when he heard this. In fact, he still felt that the matter was not as serious as Chu Yunfei said.

"Just watch first." Chu Yunfei was also a little helpless.

Soon, the two arrived in the conference room.

Qian Bojun and the others have already arrived here and are waiting.

"Captain." Several people stood up.

"Please sit down." Chu Yunfei came to the podium and sat down. He stretched out his hand and pushed it down, motioning everyone to sit down.

"Do you have any other opinions on this battle plan?!" Chu Yunfei glanced at several people.

"No, there are no flaws in the plan." Everyone shook their heads, thinking there was no problem.

"Well, that's the general plan. Do you have anything else to add?!" Chu Yunfei nodded, because he also felt that there was nothing wrong with the plan.

"No." Everyone shook their heads again.

"Although there is nothing wrong with the plan, I feel that Mu Jin is looking down on us! Cooperating to attack Fucheng is a big deal anyway.
Moreover, we paid so much money, but he didn't come to command in person, but only sent Xu Qingfeng." Qian Bojun said.

After all, they paid the money, and it was a bit disrespectful that the other party didn't come in person.

"I think so too." The deputy head of the group also agreed with what Qian Bojun said.

"If they don't respect us, they probably won't even send Xu Qingfeng. At most, they will send a battalion commander to command us.
Besides, Mu Jin might have other things to do, so he didn't come. Please understand that it is more important to capture Fucheng at the moment. "Chu Yunfei didn't think so.

Although he had not been with Mu Jin for too long, he thought that he was not that kind of person, so he believed what Xu Qingfeng said, that Mu Jin could not come because of something.

"What could possibly happen to him?! The Japanese airport was bombed not long ago, and a big battle just happened. How could there be anything else happening?!" The deputy regiment commander still didn't quite believe it.

He felt that Mu Jin just looked down on them, so he didn't come in person. Moreover, Xu Qingfeng had said before that the reason why the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was targeted was because he couldn't stand it.

"That's enough. Don't talk about this anymore. If anyone dares to talk about it again, don't blame me for being rude!" Chu Yunfei scolded with a stern face.

"Yes." Qian Bojun and the others lowered their heads and said nothing more.

"We have asked him so many times indirectly today, but Xu Qingfeng always evades the question. The development of the other party may not be as surprising as we thought." Fang Ligong changed the subject.

If the other party's development was really amazing, he would have let it slip, but he managed to keep it watertight.

"It's possible. If they really develop to the point where they can threaten us, they would have said it long ago." Sun Ming said. He felt that since the other party always avoided this issue, it was very likely that he was guilty.

"I think that the reason why Xu Qingfeng didn't say anything was that he didn't want to expose their true strength. It is very likely that their development is faster than we thought.

Of course, it is also possible that it is the same as what you said, but it is difficult for us to find the answer to this matter.
Whether it is the former or the latter, one thing is the same, we can't afford to offend Mu Jin, all we can do is not to ruin our relationship with them and remain vigilant. "Chu Yunfei said slowly.

Mu Jin’s strength is there. Whether it is the former or the latter, neither of them is easy to deal with.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Judging from the soldiers brought by Xu Qingfeng, each of them was quite strong and had a strong murderous aura. They were obviously elite soldiers. Of course, compared with those veterans, the new recruits were still far behind.

"Tsk, this is really hard to deal with. It would be great if the 358th Regiment's combat effectiveness was also so strong." Fang Ligong couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

If they had such strong combat power, they could solve many troubles and kill many Japanese devils.

"This kind of thing is just a dream." Chu Yunfei said helplessly. If he wanted to train troops to have a combat capability as strong as Mu Jin's troops, he didn't know how much supplies would be consumed.

"Let's adjourn the meeting and go back and have a good rest." Chu Yunfei waved his hand.

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and left.

Chu Yunfei glanced at the phone on the podium, picked it up and called his teacher.

"Hello, Yunfei, have you received Mu Jin and the others?!" After waiting for a while, the voice of Master Zhang came from the phone.

"Yes, I received the call, but Mu Jin didn't come. The one who came was Mu Jin's right-hand man, Xu Qingfeng." Chu Yunfei informed him of the matter!
"What?! Mu Jin didn't come?! Damn it, does he look down on us?" Master Zhang got anxious when he heard it. Didn't he give so much money just to have a good relationship with Mu Jin?

"Master, Mu Jin had something to do, so he didn't come. But Xu Qingfeng who came is also very important. When I was working with them, Xu Qingfeng's status was no worse than Mu Jin's!" Chu Yunfei hurriedly explained.

"Are you serious?!" Master Zhang's tone softened a little.

"Yes, Xu Qingfeng's ability is not much worse than Mu Jin's, he is equally powerful..." Chu Yunfei then told them everything that they talked about at the dinner table.

Ten minutes later, Chu Yunfei said, "Xu Qingfeng's ability is stronger than many people, and he is probably only slightly weaker than Mu Jin.

So, Mu Jin has already attached great importance to us by letting Xu Qingfeng lead the team here. Please don't misunderstand me, Master."
