Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"By the way, the walkie-talkie you researched is quite interesting, and the idea is very good!" Li Xuan changed the subject.

He remembered the walkie-talkie that Commander Chen had given him before, but he did not want it because he knew very well the value of this thing on the battlefield.

That's why he refused.

However, when he learned that this thing was made by Li Jin, he was still quite shocked. He didn't expect that Li Jin could make such a useful communication tool.

Although it is not as good as a radio, the communication range of 20 miles is enough for the commander to command most of the troops and orders can be issued quickly.

"I just had a sudden idea, and then I started researching in this direction, but I didn't expect that I could actually make it.

Of course, I just proposed this idea to the technicians at the arsenal, but I was not the one who actually made it." Li Jin explained.

"You have also made an invaluable contribution. Without your suggestions and ideas, they would not have been able to do it." Li Xuan affirmed Li Jin's contribution.

Li Jin made an indispensable contribution to the development of this walkie-talkie.

Li Jin then asked about what had happened to Li Xuan and the others in the past two years.

Li Xuan also briefly explained the situation. Since Li Jin left, the house has not been as lively as before.

Until one day, the Eighth Route Army came and found him.

When he saw the person coming, he thought it was Li Jin who had sacrificed his life and that the other party was here to deliver a death notice. He was so scared that his legs went limp and he almost cried!
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Li Jin about being scared to the point of having his legs go limp.

Later he realized that the visitor wanted to take them to Yan'an to help teach students.

"At that time, I actually didn't quite trust them. Until they said something, I chose to go with them." Li Xuan paused here and looked at Li Jin, as if waiting for him to ask.

"What did they talk about?!" Li Jin asked cooperatively. In fact, he was also a little curious as to why Li Xuan just left with the stranger.

"They said that the country's future needs more talents, which are the foundation of the country's strength!" Li Xuan said seriously.

It was this sentence that made him choose to take his wife and leave with the other party, because he knew very well that if he was not a person who cared about the country, he would not think of these words.

So, he went with the other person.

Facts have proved that he was not wrong about the person. After coming here, he found that Yan'an was cultivating a lot of talents.

There are many university teachers, even professor-level teachers gathered here. They are all teaching and educating people, and training talents for the future strength of this country.

“Science and technology are the only way for a country to become strong, and talent is the foundation of this path.

Just thinking about making the country strong but not taking action is just empty talk.
Although the national army also wanted to make the country strong, they did not take corresponding actions.
They don't value talent, and even their own internal affairs are full of intrigues. No one would think about this at all." Li Xuan continued.

In his opinion, the problems within the national army were very serious, with numerous factions and rampant corruption, especially among many senior military officers who were fighting each other.

The key is that they don't treat the people well, and officials are always thinking about how to squeeze more money from the people.

As for whether the people can survive after being plundered, that is not something they should think about.

When the Japanese invaders arrived, many Nationalist army officers defending the city abandoned the people and fled for their lives!

"Yes, but no matter what, the National Army is also fighting the Japanese. At least they are not thinking of surrendering to the Japanese. This is still acceptable!" Li Jin nodded in agreement with what Li Xuan said.

"Alas...there are quite a few troops who are not really serious about fighting the Japanese. They are probably worried that the troops they have assembled with great difficulty will be completely consumed by the Japanese, and then they will have no capital to fight for power." Li Xuan had a very thorough understanding of the problem.

"Yes, without the troops, I'll be left alone." Li Jin also sighed.

Cai Yuanfang listened quietly to the conversation between the father and son, and picked up some food for them from time to time.

It seemed to her that they hadn't had a meal and chatted together like today for three years.

"Xiao Jin, how long will you stay here this time?!" Cai Yuanfang asked. She was more concerned about this issue.

I finally got to meet Li Jin, but he's not going to leave in just two days?!
"I've been studying here for about a month, so I have plenty of time," said Li Jin.

"You have been able to study here for such a long time. It seems that your leader still values ​​you very much." Cai Yuanfang said with a smile. She was still very happy in her heart.

After all, how could he not be happy that his son was valued by the leader?

"The leader thinks highly of me and takes a lot of care of me," Li Jin responded.

"Then you have to follow the leader carefully, do whatever you are told to do, and don't create conflicts with him." Cai Yuanfang warned.

I’m worried that Li Jin might become too arrogant in the future and look down on everyone, which would be bad.

"Don't worry, I will. The leader values ​​me so much, so I will certainly not let him down." Li Jin smiled.

"That's good." Cai Yuanfang nodded.

Soon, dinner was over and Cai Yuanfang went to wash the dishes. Li Jin wanted to help out of filial piety, but was rejected.

There was no choice, Li Jin had to play chess with Li Xuan in the yard.

However, Li Xuan lost several games in a row, which made him fall into deep thought for a while.

"You kid, do you think your dad is a Japanese? You set traps for me one after another!" Li Xuan couldn't help but say.

He was really convinced. Li Jin just gave up those chariots, horses and cannons just to set a trap for him. As soon as the big piece was taken, he fell into the trap.

"Dad, what you said is just to win the game of chess. You can also set a trap for me. Of course, whether I fall into the trap or not is my business." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Why, you can't beat your son, so you plan to let your son give you a move?" Cai Yuanfang also came out and couldn't help laughing.

"What a joke! I need him to give me a handicap? All right, just wait for me, I'm going to kill your spirit today!" Li Xuan got angry and was determined to win against Li Jin no matter what.

But no matter how he set traps for Li Jin, it was useless and he even ended up setting traps for himself.

This time, Li Xuan changed his tactics and specifically played against Li Jin. Only in this way could he have a chance of winning. Under normal circumstances, he could not win at all.

Not to mention, after implementing the pair plan, he has already played several draws with Li Jin.

Later on, he even won a game against Li Jin. However, that was because Li Jin let him win. Otherwise, Li Xuan would probably have to play with Li Jin all night.

"Haha, kid, you lose this time. I am your father after all." Li Xuan immediately stood up.

"Then let's do it again." Li Jin said.

"It's getting late. You should go back to your place. I'll play against you next time!" Li Xuan disagreed. He was just kidding. He had finally won a game. If he continued, he would lose.

He also realized that Li Jin's chess skills were so superb that ordinary people could not beat him at all.

"It's getting late. I'll go back first and see what the arrangements are for tomorrow.

I guess I have to go to class now. I'll come over to have dinner with you guys." Li Jin glanced at the sky, and it was almost dark.

"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow night." Li Xuan nodded.

"Xiao Jin, tell mom what you want to eat tomorrow and I will ask your dad to buy it for you." Cai Yuanfang said.

"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food. By the way, mom, I have some money on me. Here, give it to you." Li Jin took out more than 20 dollars from his pocket and put them in Cai Yuanfang's hand. "Where did you get so much money?" Cai Yuanfang was shocked. Li Jin's allowance should not be that much.

"Don't worry, mom. This is all my savings. There's no problem at all. Just accept it." Li Jin said with a smile.

"That won't work. How can I take the money you saved with great difficulty? You should keep it. Maybe you will want to buy something in the future and you will have the money to buy it." Cai Yuanfang responded, worried that Li Jin would starve without the money.

"Oh, Mom, please accept it. This is my filial piety. If you don't accept it, I will be angry!" Li Jin pretended to be angry.

"Afang, just accept it. After all, it's a filial act of your son." Li Xuan also started to persuade.

"Okay, then I'll accept it. I'll keep the money for you and use it when you get married." Only then did Cai Yuanfang accept the money.

"Then I'll go back to my residence first." Li Jin turned and left after seeing Cai Yuanfang accept the money.

"Be careful on the road, watch the road, and don't fall." Cai Yuanfang warned Li Jin while looking at his back.

"understood."

"This kid." Cai Yuanfang looked at the heavy dollars in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

"Our son has grown up and knows how to be filial to his parents." Cai Yuanfang sighed.

"Wait a minute, why is mine not there?" Li Xuan was stunned. Why didn't he have anything?

Just then, Li Jin ran back again.

"I almost forgot, mother, this jade pendant is for you to protect yourself." Li Jin took out a Buddha statue from his arms and put it on Cai Yuanfang himself.

"This jade pendant is nice." Li Xuan commented, but he felt jealous in his heart.

"Dad, you get a share too. This pen is for you. It's made of gold and is very valuable." Li Jin could tell that Li Xuan was a little unbalanced, so he quickly took out the pen he had prepared.

"Just some fancy stuff." Li Xuan said it nonchalantly, but he didn't slow down in putting away his pen, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

"If you don't like it, give it to me." Cai Yuanfang reached out and tried to snatch it away.

"Why? This is given to me by my son!" Li Xuan quickly protected it, fearing that the pen would be snatched away.

"I'll go back first." Li Jin smiled and turned to leave.

"Hey, look at the pen, it's really nice, and it's made of gold." Li Xuan held up the pen with a smile, as if showing off.

"Tsk, what's so great about that? My jade Buddha is still more beautiful." Cai Yuanfang said disdainfully. She touched the jade Buddha and felt that it felt very good.

"My pen is better. It looks like a high-end product."

"Bullshit, my jade Buddha is obviously better. Look at the texture, it's obviously carved from top-quality jade!"

.........

When Li Jin returned to his residence, Teacher Zhang and He Guangchen were working late into the night.

"Captain Li, you're finally back! Come and follow Teacher Zhang!" When He Guangchen saw Li Jin, he stood up excitedly. He couldn't bear it anymore.

I was defeated by Teacher Zhang and had my head shaved bald several times. It was impossible to play at all.

"You're back, come on, I just want to get my revenge!" Teacher Zhang is very confident now. After torturing He Guangchen, he feels that his previous loss to Li Jin was completely due to carelessness!

"Okay." Li Jin nodded. He sat down, set up the chessboard, and started playing chess with Teacher Zhang.

.........

Tianli Mountains, the base of the special operations regiment.

In the conference room, Xu Qingfeng had a serious look on his face.

He glanced at the reconnaissance battalion officers present.

"You mean, it's been half a month and we haven't found any news at all?!" Xu Qingfeng frowned, his tone a little angry.

"Political Commissar, we have checked all the counties of this little devil, but we have found basically no problems in the counties we have checked so far!"

“It takes a lot of time to investigate missing persons, and it’s not just one county that has missing persons, there are other counties as well.”

"Yes, and some people have been missing for a long time, so it's hard to find out. Unless the devils continue to arrest people in the near future, it will be difficult."

Everyone said that it was not that they did not want to investigate, but that the task was indeed somewhat difficult.

"I don't care about that. There is still half a month left. You must find out in which county the Japanese laboratory is located!" Xu Qingfeng said slowly.

The one-month deadline is getting closer and closer. If we still can't find the answer, it will be difficult to report to the leader.

"Yes!" Everyone stood up.

"Go down." Xu Qingfeng waved his hand.

After everyone left, Xu Qingfeng's brows became more and more furrowed. Although he did not sign a military order with the leader, he had already told the time. If he could not find any information by then, he would be in trouble.

He even wondered, does the devil's laboratory really exist? !
The reconnaissance battalion's ability to investigate intelligence is unquestionable. If even they can't find anything, it seems that either the Japanese are hiding very deeply, or there is no such laboratory.

But this laboratory should exist. Judging from Zhao Jiucheng's analysis, the laboratory definitely exists.

It's just that I can't tell where the laboratory is.

It may also be that the direction of the investigation is a bit wrong. Perhaps, we should not only investigate the missing persons, but also investigate other areas.

"Someone come here." Xu Qingfeng shouted outside the meeting room.

"Political Commissar!" The messenger walked in.

"Go and call Liu Changshun over to me!" Xu Qingfeng ordered. He forgot to bring the walkie-talkie, otherwise he wouldn't have to ask the messenger to call someone.

"Yes!" The messenger turned and left.

After Xu Qingfeng waited for a while, Liu Changshun ran in.

"Political Commissar, you are looking for me." Liu Changshun said.

"Well, let's sit down first." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"Is it related to the Japanese laboratory?!" Liu Changshun asked tentatively.

"Take the veterans of the first battalion with you to participate in the investigation. I'll give you a map of the county that has been investigated. For the areas that have not been investigated, you can send someone to go there. Be careful not to get discovered by the Japanese!" Xu Qingfeng took out a map and handed it to Liu Changshun, and gave him instructions.

If the Japanese noticed that someone was checking the laboratory, they might move away.
