Delivery man on the battlefield: Start with the sword

Chapter 154 Figure it out
"Commander, Yu Xiaoqing has become the division commander without any notice. Why don't you do something about it?"

After Long Wenjian was busy serving tea and water for a while, he spoke to Wang Zhifei.

"What's the matter? Does it affect your ability to manage your subordinates? Have you ever seen a brigade with seven regiments? Yu Xiaoqing is now the division commander. How many people can he manage?

There were those who were collecting salaries without working, those who were supporting the powerful, and those who were trying to interfere. Although Yu Xiaoqing was a division commander, he only had seven regiments at most, and he might not be able to command even these seven regiments.

In our regiment, even the snake buttocks in charge of logistics can stand up on the front battlefield. How can they compare? Do you know how to make a fortune in silence? What happened to the division commander? Does the division commander dare to touch me? "

"That's what I said, but in the eyes of the people of Zenda, we are not as high-ranking as them, so we can't speak with confidence."

Long Wenjian said.

"So what? How many times have they come to collect the summer harvest? Do they dare to collect it if I don't give the order?"

Wang Zhifei was drinking tea leisurely. Tang Ji had come several times. The first time he asked Wang Zhifei to cooperate with the summer tax collection to replenish the military grain warehouse.

Wang Zhifei didn't give him any face at all: Although you are the adjutant of the division commander, I am an independent brigade under the direct command of the principal, so you are nothing.

As a result, Tang Ji was kicked out in disgrace.

The second time, Tang Ji was quite polite and asked Wang Zhifei to do a good job. Their Yu Division was almost out of food. Without food, there would be a mutiny, and then even the independent brigade would be implicated.

Wang Zhifei said, "Master Yu, if I fight with all my might, it won't take long to destroy you."

Tang Ji...

Destroy friendly forces? Is this something a human can do?
The third time, the military called directly: Please ask Wang Zhifei's 4th Independent Brigade to cooperate with the Yu Division in summer grain tax collection...

Wang Zhifei didn't even finish reading it, he just wrote down a big word and asked Dong Dao to send it out: Get out!
The military didn't dare to say a word, so it would be fine if Wang Zhifei didn't pursue the matter. But if he did, no matter who sent the telegram, there would be absolutely no benefit.

What does Baldy like to do most? Commanding battles. The 4th Independent Brigade is so good at fighting, and it is directly under Baldy's command. He has such a small unit under his direct command, and he can even wake up with a smile in his sleep.

He likes to give orders, but he absolutely doesn't like others to give orders. You are giving orders to my troops without my knowledge. Do you want to go to Chen Lifu's place?
The military didn't expect Wang Zhifei to be so reckless, so they immediately stopped the attack. However, they still had some conscience and told Tang Ji.
Well, you reckless men, find a way to communicate on your own. The military is busy here and doesn't have time to mediate with you.

When Tang Ji saw it, his heart sank.

……

This time Tang Ji came with a very serious attitude: "Brigade Commander Wang, Brigade Commander Wang, I have something to talk to you about, a big thing, a very big thing!
Brigade Commander Wang, help us, our Yu Division’s food is almost gone. Look at my white hair, it’s only been a few days and it’s gone.

Brigade Commander Wang, I know that what I did in the past was not quite right, but I had no choice.

Since you and I are in the same trench, and since we both have the same enemy, Takeuchi Renzan, please help us collect the tax grain for the summer harvest.

Otherwise, our entire division would have been left with nothing but eating dirt.

If our General Yu leaves in disgrace, and you have to guard such a long front line alone, wouldn't your manpower be stretched to the limit?
Even if you are not stretched too thin, you probably can't attack, right? You are different from us. We, Master Yu, muddle along. If you don't kill the enemy, you will lose. With us here to guard, you can attack flexibly. As the saying goes, adding a monkey will add three points of strength. With so many of us here, Takeuchi Renshan will not dare to act rashly, right..."

This time Tang Ji could be said to have persuaded Wang Zhifei with both reason and emotion. Wang Zhifei felt that killing people was not the right path, and the most important thing was that he couldn't kill them now.

The ones who suffer are the soldiers below, and you cannot break the rules by collecting taxes in summer. You say you are self-sufficient?

When the time comes, the bald man will see: Wow! There is another person here who is like the people in Yan'an, cultivating his own land. Which side are you from?
I bent the curve for a long time, but I still have one on my side.

By then, not to mention Wang Zhifei, even the Chen family will be implicated. If he doesn't want to be implicated, he can only come here in person to capture Wang Zhifei and execute him.

"Since you are so sincere, I am not the kind of person who would not be willing to show my respect. Tomorrow I will ask Lin Yi and veterinarian Hao to bring his son to your place and distribute the food collected evenly according to the roster. I don't care if you are not paying the bills, and don't say that my independent brigade is overstaffed. This is how my independent brigade is."

Wang Zhifei also let Tang Ji know the difference between the big and small Wangs, so he agreed to the summer tax collection.

However, collecting taxes is Tang Ji's job, and Wang Zhifei only needs to send two people to keep count. Things like kicking and adding weights will naturally be handled by Tang Ji's people. We won't do such unethical things.

……

Soon, the grain was collected and Yu Xiaoqing's side was completely stable. Yu Xiaoqing also realized one thing: no matter how to say it, Tang Ji did cause him a lot of trouble, but Wang Zhifei didn't even get hurt.

But if Wang Zhifei made things a little difficult for him, Tang Ji would have to pay both compensation and apology.

These were all instigated by the Song family, but when trouble arose, it was all Tang Ji who had to beg and plead with everyone to settle the matter.

This gave Yu Xiaoqing an illusion that the Song family was nothing special.

If one wants to stand out and stand tall, then one needs to be strong himself. Yu Xiaoqing now urgently wants military merits. With military merits, he can speak loudly and throw them in Wang Zhifei's face, telling him that he is nothing great.

It's just a victory, I can fight too!
It has to be said that Yu Xiaoqing's thoughts went astray from this moment on.

……

Wang Zhifei was staring at the telegram in a daze: a large number of American equipment was being shipped here, and there was also a guidance group from all over the United States, which specifically asked Wang Zhifei to receive them.

At the same time, another letter arrived in Wang Zhifei's hands. It was a letter from Lucy. This time, she did not come here as a reporter, but came here to assist in guidance.

All American equipment, heavy artillery, submachine guns, flamethrowers, air fire support...

These things became things that Wang Zhifei could easily obtain. The trees he planted that year finally blossomed.

But what does Lucy mean by this letter with kiss marks and full of ambiguity? That's not all. What does it mean that you, Baldy, sent me a telegram repeatedly emphasizing that we must receive the visiting team well?
Could it be that I was ordered to pick up girls? Wang Zhifei fell into deep thought.
