Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Commander Yan looked at Li Jin, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

"Okay, if you change your mind, you can come to me anytime." Commander Yan said helplessly. The other party refused again, which made it clear that he would not join.

If he continued to persuade her, it would only make people annoyed, so he just gave up.

"Commander Yan, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first." After saying this, Li Jin stood up and left without looking back.

"Commander, why don't we take this opportunity to kill him?" Commander Zhang suddenly said. Although the Northeast Army was powerful, without Mu Jin's leadership, its strength would decline and it might not be without the ability to fight.

"What are you talking about! If he dies here, his men might not care about anything and just attack us.

Do you think that with the few people we have, we can stop their attack? !" Commander Yan said unhappily.

Mu Jin can still restrain the Northeast Army. The other side still cares about the overall situation. As long as Mu Jin's bottom line is not touched, he will always put the overall situation first. If he is gone, it is hard to say what problems will arise.

"Besides, our biggest enemy right now is the Japanese, not Mu Jin!" Commander Yan said again. Now that there is no one around Mu Jin, it is indeed a good opportunity, but the consequence of killing Mu Jin is that he will most likely be buried with Mu Jin. He will not do such a stupid thing!

"Commander, I also think that Mu Jin must not be killed. With him around, the Japanese will focus on him, and our pressure will be much less. So no matter from the overall situation or from the serious consequences, it is not appropriate to kill Mu Jin." Chu Yunfei also spoke quickly.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the commander would actually say something like killing Mu Jin, although to some extent, Mu Jin's threat was indeed great.

But after all, the other side is the strongest force currently fighting against the Japanese. Not to mention that after killing Mu Jin, this Northeast Army will seek revenge. Even if they don't seek revenge, it will be beneficial to the Japanese.

"Commander, I didn't think it through. Mu Jin is a potential threat. He is even more terrifying than the Japanese.
If he really joins the Eighth Route Army, what will happen in the future? !

If the two sides come to war, can we stop Mu Jin's attack? ! If a real fight breaks out, we are no match at all.

His command and combat abilities are both too terrifying! Even if he was not commanding the powerful Northeast Army, but just an ordinary unit, he would probably be very powerful. "Master Zhang admitted his mistake, but also explained the reason.

A powerful commander can maximize the combat effectiveness of a unit, which is a terrifying thing.

"I know, that's why I thought of bringing him in, but I didn't expect that he would refuse again." Commander Yan nodded and sighed at the end.

If Mu Jin could join them, perhaps the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could be taken to a higher level in the future, but Mu Jin refused, and was so decisive.

High positions and generous salaries could not mobilize Mu Jin at all. It was obvious that the other party was greedy for money, but he did not join them because of this.

"We don't know how long this battle will last. Let's talk about it after it's all over," Commander Yan continued.

If there ever comes a time when we go to war with Mu Jin, we'll talk about other things later.

"Chu Yunfei, how many Japanese soldiers did you kill in Fucheng?!" Commander Yan changed the subject and asked Chu Yunfei.

"Reporting to the commander, I'm not sure of the exact number, but I estimate it to be around four thousand!" Chu Yunfei responded. As soon as the battle was over, they rushed to the next battlefield without stopping. They didn't have time to count how many Japanese had been killed.

"A regiment of Japanese soldiers, it seems that the Japanese really want to destroy your 358th Regiment." Commander Yan said. With the strength of a regiment of Japanese soldiers, it is not difficult to attack a county town defended by four or five thousand people.

Not to mention a regiment, even a battalion of Japanese soldiers dared to attack.

"Yes, they take it very seriously." Chu Yunfei nodded.

"How much equipment was seized? How much share did Mu Jin give you?!" asked Commander Yan.

"He gave me 80%." Chu Yunfei responded.

"What?! 80% of the equipment?! How could he give so much?" Commander Yan was stunned when he heard this.

"They said it was compensation for keeping the overall plan secret." Chu Yunfei answered truthfully.

"Mu Jin, this guy, wants to apologize in this way, tsk... this kid." Commander Yan didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was clearly Mu Jin who made the mistake, but the other party had his own explanation. He was convinced, but he had to admit that the other party was quite capable and left him speechless.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have been fooled by Mu Jin.

"Commander, Mu Jin is probably saying this in a disguised way. He doesn't want to offend us to death." Commander Zhang said.

"Yeah." Commander Yan nodded. Mu Jin had shown weakness from the beginning. Although he did not apologize, he also made his attitude clear and made compensation.

"Judging from the fact that he spoke well of the Eighth Route Army, he has a very good relationship with them. Do you think there is a possibility that he has been reluctant to join us but has actually already joined the Eighth Route Army?!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but frown. If this was the case, then the strength of the Eighth Route Army would surely improve by leaps and bounds in the future.

"It shouldn't be the case. Mu Jin is a person who doesn't like being constrained. If he joins there, there will be many restrictions, and he won't be free when fighting." Commander Yan said. He actually had this idea in his mind.

"That's hard to say. They have cooperated with each other many times. Besides, Mu Jin and his team are so strong, so it's normal to make some exceptions.

Just like the commander, he was even willing to offer Mu Jin the conditions to become the army commander, which was unprecedented. "Master Zhang disagreed and explained instead.

Faced with such a strong army like Mu Jin, only a fool would not try to win them over. Since one wants to win them over, it is reasonable to meet Mu Jin's conditions.

"Hiss... This is really troublesome." Commander Yan took a breath. He actually had the idea of ​​killing Mu Jin, but when he thought that he could not bear the consequences, he gave up.

"Yun Fei, you keep half of that batch of equipment, and send the remaining half to the headquarters." Commander Yan was too lazy to think about this bad thing and decided to deal with the matter first.

"I understand." Chu Yunfei nodded.

"Yunfei, are you really not aware of Mu Jin's entire plan?!" Commander Yan looked at Chu Yunfei with lightning eyes and asked.

"Ah?! Commander, I really don't know anything about this." Chu Yunfei said hurriedly. He didn't dare to say that he knew, otherwise, he would be in trouble.

"Well, go back!" Commander Yan looked at Chu Yunfei for a few times, and seeing that he didn't see anything, he waved his hand. "Yes." Chu Yunfei then turned around and left the tent.

Commander Yan looked at Chu Yunfei's departing back and fell into deep thought for a moment. In fact, from the current perspective, Chu Yunfei is indeed very good and has made so many contributions.

If it were someone else, he could be promoted to brigade commander, even division commander. But the other party graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and was sent to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army by that person, so his identity was somewhat special.

"Commander, I think Chu Yunfei probably doesn't know about the overall plan. After all, the plan is so important, it would be bad if it got out.
Moreover, let alone us, in order to complete the plan, I am afraid that even the Eighth Route Army does not know the specific plan. "Master Zhang spoke for Chu Yunfei and analyzed it.

"That does make some sense." Commander Yan nodded. Mu Jin's plan was aimed at the headquarters of the 16th Division. How could he tell other people about such a risky plan?

But, what if Chu Yunfei really knew about this but deliberately didn't say anything? ! That would mean that Chu Yunfei really had second thoughts about me, so I should put aside the matter of letting him get promoted.

"Commander, why don't you report all of Mu Jin's situation to the higher-ups? As for what the higher-ups think, that's their business.
As for whether they want to win over Mu Jin, that is their business. "Master Zhang said a solution, which is to throw the problem to the higher-ups, and then the one who is at ease becomes that person. Anyway, Mu Jin's existence can pose a threat not only to them, but also to that person.

You know, that person has always disliked the Northeast Army. He made the Northeast Army fight many tough battles, but he did not provide them with supplies. Now such a powerful person suddenly appeared in the Northeast Army. This is a big deal.

"It's a good idea, but it will be troublesome for Mu Jin. Moreover, if he fails to win him over, he will probably be dealt with first.
The point is, we might become the vanguard, and we will be the ones who suffer the consequences, so there is no need for this." Commander Yan explained the interests involved.

He knew that person's character very well. The appearance of Mu Jin was obviously a greater threat. It could even be said that whoever could win over Mu Jin would be able to tip the balance. If he could not be used for his own benefit, then he would have no choice but to get rid of him.

"It seems that I didn't think it through and almost caused a disaster!" Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang felt his scalp tingling. If he really let the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army attack Mu Jin, he would be seeking death.

Moreover, this is a break between the two sides. Mu Jin doesn't care about any previous friendship and will kill them directly.

“So, don’t think about things too closely, but look further ahead so that you won’t make mistakes.” Commander Yan began to preach.

Xiao Zhang's abilities are okay compared to his peers, but compared to those old foxes, he is still far behind.

This is all about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

"Thank you, Commander, for your advice." Commander Zhang hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Just now when Mu Jin asked us whether we had caught the spy, you shouldn't have said yes." Commander Yan changed the subject and talked about this.

"Ah?! Why?! If you don't say you caught him, are you going to say you didn't catch him?!" Master Zhang asked in confusion. If he said he didn't catch him, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?

"You should have said that there were no spies in the Jinsui Army. If you said that, wouldn't it mean that Mu Jin was overthinking it?!
If you just say you caught him, wouldn't that be a slap in my face, saying I didn't discipline him properly?!" Commander Yan explained. This was clearly a good opportunity to make Mu Jin feel guilty, but he lost the opportunity.

"I'm sorry, Commander, it's my fault!" Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang immediately apologized and admitted his mistake.

He didn't expect that Mu Jin asked this with this in mind, but he didn't expect this and instead ruined the commander's good plan.

"It's okay. Remember this and think more about it next time." Commander Yan did not pursue the matter, after all, he was someone he trusted.

"I understand." Master Zhang nodded repeatedly.

"But it can also be seen that Mu Jin is indeed quite capable in politics. It's not easy for someone who doesn't understand politics to get promoted. It's a pity that he is not interested in this." Commander Yan praised Mu Jin, and then sighed.

It can be seen that he really wants to win over Mu Jin!

.........

At this time, Xu Qingfeng was also waiting for Li Jin to come back. He looked at his watch from time to time, calculating the time, fearing that something might happen to Li Jin.

"Political Commissar, why hasn't the commander come back for so long? Has something happened to him?!" Zhao Ming became worried. He had said he was just going to apologize, so it wasn't like he wouldn't have come back for so long.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could anything possibly happen?!" Xu Qingfeng said unhappily.

"But, that's hard to say. Our actions this time have already demonstrated even more terrifying strength, and the command ability demonstrated by the captain is even more terrifying.

There is no guarantee that Commander Yan will not have some bad ideas. When the time comes, there will be no one around the regiment commander, so it will be a disaster." Zhao Ming couldn't help but say, his analysis was also very reasonable.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. If the captain dies there, the consequences will be something they can't bear!" Xu Qingfeng said this with half-closed eyes, full of murderous intent.

If Li Jin was really killed, he wouldn't think so much and would just kill his enemy first.

"Oh... The captain is so mean. He doesn't even let us go with him! It's so dangerous." Zhao Ming felt helpless. He wanted to go with the captain, but the captain said that the apology had to be sincere and there was no need to bring too many people.

"Okay, stop talking so much and just wait patiently." After hearing this, Xu Qingfeng became a little annoyed and asked Zhao Ming not to say too much.

A few minutes later, there was a sound coming from the walkie-talkie in Xu Qingfeng's hand.

"Old Xu, I've come out from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Headquarters." Li Jin's voice came from the intercom.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up right away." Xu Qingfeng said excitedly.

"No, no, I can do it myself. They don't dare to do anything to me." Li Jin said. Commander Yan is a smart man and will not do anything that will lead to serious consequences.

Moreover, he is not a pushover. If the other party really wants to take action, he can definitely replace Commander Yan.

"Okay then, come here quickly and don't waste time. Contact me immediately if there is any situation. I will bring people to support you as soon as possible!" Upon hearing this, Xu Qingfeng didn't say anything else, just gave some instructions!
"Ok."

After waiting for ten minutes, Li Jin finally came back. Xu Qingfeng was relieved to see Li Jin coming back.

"Captain, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have brought people to find you." Zhao Ming said hurriedly.
