Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

“So, you should adopt more views of your comrades. Don’t think that you can ignore other people’s opinions just because you are an expert in the field. Often, it is people who are not expert in the field who will give you inspiration,” the political commissar said slowly.

You don’t have to use it, but you can’t not listen. Think more about whether what others say makes sense before drawing conclusions.

"The political commissar is right, it's my problem!" Liu Hexuan said quickly. He also knew that he was a little arrogant.

Fortunately, the battalion commander insisted, otherwise, he might have missed a lot of things. When he thought of this, he felt a little scared.

Things like walkie-talkies, armor-piercing bullets, and new rifles were all proposed by the battalion commander, who also gave him the method to manufacture them.

"I won't hold you responsible this time. Be careful next time. Do you understand?" The political commissar did not blame Liu Hexuan for this.

Because he could understand it. After all, Li Jin had not demonstrated his ability to create a room, so it was normal for Liu Hexuan to have some doubts.

"Yes!" Liu Hexuan nodded quickly. In fact, after he didn't believe Li Jin the first time and was slapped in the face, he understood that Li Jin was also very knowledgeable in this area, and many times Li Jin could come up with good solutions to problems that he couldn't solve.

"Take me to see what you are currently working on." The political commissar smiled and said.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Liu Hexuan quickly led the political commissar and began to introduce what they were doing.

"What we are currently making include new rifles, grenades, and bullets. The machine tools are currently mainly used to manufacture new rifles..." Liu Hexuan began to explain as he walked.

"You have a lot more people here." The political commissar saw that there were quite a few soldiers making bullets. They were all new faces. They were obviously selected from the special operations battalion after coming here.

"Yes, otherwise we, the technicians alone, can't do so much work. We are responsible for guiding them on how to do it. For example, in terms of metal smelting, there are dedicated people to provide guidance.

Speaking of which, the book on metal smelting that Lafki sent is really useful. It fills in what we lack, allowing the metal conversion to be more complete and saving a lot of materials. "Liu Hexuan couldn't help but start talking about the book.

"That's great. Keep up the good work and balance your study and work." Seeing that Liu Hexuan wanted to talk more about this knowledge, the political commissar quickly changed the subject.

He doesn't know much about this area, and what he hears is like listening to a foreign language.

"Don't worry, Political Commissar, I will definitely work hard! I will never let the organization down!" Liu Hexuan responded seriously.

Under the leadership of Liu Hexuan, the political commissar visited many places, including the bullet manufacturing area, the grenade manufacturing area, and even went to see the metal smelting.

When they came out of the arsenal, they were already sweating because the temperature was very high after passing through the furnace.

"Li Jin, the ventilation here is pretty good. Those soldiers working near the furnace are really working hard." The political commissar couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

It is easy to faint when working in such a high temperature environment.

"Yes, so everything in the Arsenal is hard-earned." Li Jin also agreed.

"How many of that armor-piercing bullet has the arsenal produced now?!" the political commissar couldn't help but ask. He remembered that this type of bullet could penetrate steel plates.

Although it has not yet been tried on the battlefield, from an experimental point of view, this armor-piercing projectile should be able to be used against the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

"At present, there are nearly three thousand rounds." Li Jin replied. The manufacture of armor-piercing bullets is much more difficult than ordinary bullets, so not many of them are produced.

"Three thousand rounds is not a small number. After all, they are used specifically to attack tanks and armored vehicles. We don't encounter these so easily at the moment." The political commissar felt that it was enough.

It is unlikely that their troops will encounter the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles now, but this may not be the case later. Once they take the initiative to attack the Japanese, they are likely to encounter these.

"Political Commissar, you can take these armor-piercing bullets with you when you go back. The ones I left here are enough for you." Li Jin said.

"No need. The brigade's arsenal has also produced armor-piercing bullets. We don't need you to provide them." The political commissar refused with a smile. When Li Jin sent the armor-piercing bullets to the brigade, he also included the manufacturing method of the armor-piercing bullets.

Therefore, the brigade arsenal also produced them, but not in large quantities, because they were enough, unless the Japanese could get a lot of tanks and armored vehicles to deal with them, which was impossible.

It was already impressive that the Japanese could mobilize dozens of tanks to fight them, but it was impossible for them to mobilize all the tanks and armored vehicles.

"That's right." Li Jin nodded.

"By the way, Political Commissar, have the higher-ups decided on a name for the new rifle?!" Li Jin asked. He still didn't know what name to give to the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

"Well, the higher-ups decided to call it the Type 18 rifle, and that's exactly what it sounds like," the political commissar said with a smile.

"Type 18 rifle?! It seems okay." Li Jin nodded.

"The rifle manufactured by the brigade's arsenal is called the Type 81 cavalry rifle. It's about the same power as yours, but it's a little heavier and has a capacity of only five rounds, which is incomparable to yours with a capacity of ten rounds." The political commissar continued.

"Very good." Li Jin heard this. It was within his expectations. Because of the machine tool sent by Lafki, the Type 81 carbine appeared earlier.

"Li Jin, you said before that you wanted to build machine tools, is it possible?!" Li Yunlong on the side couldn't help asking. He was also a little itchy in his heart, wondering whether the New 1st Regiment could also build an arsenal in the future.

"Captain, I am still somewhat confident that we can make it." Li Jin responded. He also understood what Li Yunlong meant.

"Don't even think about it, kid. You want to build an arsenal for a regiment?" The political commissar attacked without mercy.

"Didn't Li Jin also set up an arsenal?" Li Yunlong was a little dissatisfied. Li Jin was also a regiment, and he was only a battalion before.

"He has a large amount of tungsten iron ore, copper mines and coal mines here. You have a ball over there, are you going to ask Li Jin to deliver it to you?! It's such a long distance, what if something goes wrong?!" The political commissar pointed out various problems one after another.

"Besides, where are you going to get technical personnel? Some of the people in the brigade have been allocated to Li Jin, so there are no people left for you." The political commissar continued.

"This...I..." Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought about it so much.

"So, not everyone can build this arsenal. What's more, we are not stable enough now, and we may have to move at any time later. Don't think too much about it." The political commissar said that building an arsenal is not that simple. It must be as safe and stable as possible, and the materials must be available at any time. Just thinking about it is not enough.

It's okay for Li Yunlong to fight, but forget about building an arsenal.

"Okay." Li Yunlong had to give up the idea. He really wanted to set up an arsenal in the New 1st Regiment, but after hearing what the political commissar said, he realized that the arsenal was indeed not so easy to build. There were too many factors to consider.

Everyone walked towards the conference room, and the political commissar also talked about asking Xu Qingfeng to set up the regiment political department. He was quite concerned about this. "I'm already looking for candidates. In fact, I often teach them in class on weekdays, so the soldiers are very politically conscious." When Xu Qingfeng said this, a bit of confidence appeared on his face.

"That's good." The political commissar nodded with satisfaction. He was right about Xu Qingfeng's ability.

"In fact, it was the battalion commander who taught us in the beginning. I learned a lot of things from him. For example, the idea of ​​recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past was also proposed by him, and the effect was remarkable." Xu Qingfeng said seriously.

In terms of awareness, Li Jin is countless times higher than them. If Li Jin does not command the operations, there will be no problem in serving as the political commissar.

"Li Jin told me about this." The political commissar responded that they had also promoted it.

"That's perfect. Can you show me the material list and items of the special operations battalion? To be honest, we don't know how many things the special operations battalion has." The political commissar said after arriving at the meeting room.

Until now, they have never paid attention to the situation of the special operations battalion, because the special operations battalion will definitely not lack supplies.

"Political Commissar, this is a list of materials, and this is an account book. It records in detail the expenditures and incomes, as well as the materials consumed every day..." Xu Qingfeng quickly brought the things to the political commissar for inspection. He had expected that the political commissar would definitely check this, so he had already made preparations.

"Yeah." The political commissar picked up the account and took a quick look at how much money the special operations battalion had now.

"Hiss... You actually have so many oceans!" The political commissar couldn't help but gasp when he saw the remaining number of oceans.

That’s more than 85,300 dollars, which is a very large amount.

If it were based on the normal consumption of an ordinary group, these dollars would be enough for a group to use for seven or eight years. If they save a little, they can use it for longer.

"Well, there aren't actually that many dollars. The main part is gold bars." Li Jin coughed lightly and explained the situation.

Previously, Liang Gu sent someone to deliver gold bars worth 50,000 oceans, but the actual amount was only over 30,000 oceans.

"So that's how it is. I thought you really made so much money." The political commissar nodded, and then realized: "You should hand over these gold bars to the brigade headquarters. You don't need them."

The purchasing power of gold bars is far better than that of the ocean, and they are convenient, so Li Jin can't use them here. If he gives them to them, people can buy supplies from foreigners.

"I understand. It would be nice if the political commissar could take the gold bars with him when he goes back." Li Jin nodded.

"Wait, where did these gold bars come from?!" asked the political commissar. He remembered that Li Jin had handed over almost everything he should hand over.

"As for Liang Gu, when I came back from completing the mission, Liang Gu helped me and gave me some reminders, so I didn't ask for the balance..."

"Later he sent someone to deliver it to you, right?" The political commissar remembered this incident. When Li Jin came back to report, he mentioned that he did not want the balance payment. The leader did not say much after hearing it.

"Yes." Li Jin nodded.

"This Liang Gu is quite good." The political commissar said with a smile. If it were anyone else, upon learning that they didn't have to pay the final payment of tens of thousands, they would probably be overjoyed. How could they take the initiative to make up the difference?

"I think so too. If we can win him over, we can give him a hand." Li Jin had a good impression of Liang Gu.

The political commissar then continued to check the list of supplies. Just as expected, the special operations battalion had a lot of supplies. Li Jin's ability was indeed extraordinary as he was able to get so many supplies even after handing them over to the brigade headquarters.

Compared with the new group, it is many times better than the new group.

"Put everything away. There's really nothing missing on your side. I was wondering if there was anything missing so I could get it for you. Now it seems I was overthinking." The political commissar handed the things to Xu Qingfeng and said to Li Jin.

"You don't need to worry about me. If we really lack supplies, I will ask the Japanese to get them myself." Li Jin responded.

"Well, you will be the regiment commander in the future. You have to report before mobilizing battalion-level troops. Do you understand? Don't make mistakes." The political commissar reminded Li Jin.

"I understand." Li Jin nodded and assured. He also knew this.

"This kid Li Yunlong mobilized an entire battalion of troops to fight without asking for instructions. If he hadn't been smart and surrendered his warhorse, the commander would have called him to the brigade headquarters and whipped him." The political commissar started using Li Yunlong as an example again.

"Hey, political commissar, stop exposing my past." Li Yunlong was a little embarrassed. Doesn't he have any face?

"What confidence do you have?" the political commissar said unhappily!
Li Yunlong was embarrassed, it seemed like that.

After hearing this, Xu Qingfeng, who was standing by, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he had to hold it in.

"By the way, I remember you said that the special operations battalion has a doctor, and there are two doctors. Take me to see those two doctors." The political commissar changed the subject.

"Okay, I'll take you to the hospital." Li Jin quickly stood up and led the way.

"I remember these two doctors are a couple, right?" the political commissar said as they walked.

"Yes, they were being chased by the Japanese at that time, and were later met by Lu Changgong, who rescued them. They also had a son." Li Jin replied.

"It just happened to happen. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." The political commissar laughed. Their army was very short of doctors. Only the brigade-level troops had hospitals. Some units didn't even have a hospital, so there was a shortage of doctors.

"Luck is still on our side." Li Jin said that it was indeed luck for him to receive two doctors.

"When the time comes, ask them if they are willing to become probationary party members." The political commissar said that they cannot miss such talents.

"Okay." Li Jin nodded. He had already considered this when these two people joined. Once there was enough time, he would let these two people write applications to join the party.

The group walked for seven or eight minutes and arrived at the hospital.

Li Jin brought the political commissar to the offices of Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua.

"Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander." After seeing Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng, Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua hurriedly greeted them, but their eyes also fell on Li Yunlong and the political commissar.
