Chapter 44: The Brigade Commander is a Specialist in Dealing with All Kinds of Disobedience (Please Read Next)
Ren Zhong couldn't help but laugh as he watched Li Yunlong arguing with the messenger officer.

I thought this was a rare sight for Old Li to indirectly confront the boss, but I didn't know if the brigade commander would come in this time and space and directly take down the troublemaker Li Yunlong!

Seeing Li Yunlong sticking out his neck and showing a look of dissatisfaction, the messenger and staff officer tried to persuade him several times but to no avail, so he had no choice but to leave. However, not long after, Ren Zhong heard a noisy sound of horse hooves.

He's coming, he's coming!
It must be the old brigade commander coming here in his leather jacket!
Ren Zhong was guessing secretly in his heart, but he said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, have you taken a lot of heat today? You are so arrogant, and you dare to confront the boss. Why don't you go and fight the brigade commander?"

"Even if the brigade commander comes, he has to be reasonable, right?" Hearing the brigade commander's name, Li Yunlong couldn't help but shudder, but continued to say stubbornly, "The brigade commander can't be so indiscriminate."

However, the voice became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that the two words "brigade commander" still had a great killing power on Li Yunlong.

The sound of horse hooves was urgent, and in a blink of an eye they arrived in front of the earthen kiln.

The brigade commander in leather jacket arrived as expected!

Before he dismounted, he heard the brigade commander shout, "Li Yunlong!"

This sound made Li Yunlong, who had just straightened his back, tremble. He then stood at attention and saluted, "Brigade Commander!"

Li Yunlong really didn't expect the brigade commander to arrive in such a short time, as if he had been waiting for him to do something stupid.

The bold words he had just spoken were instantly forgotten by him, and he lowered his head like a dishonest student caught by his teacher.

"Li Yunlong, you are amazing! I admire you! Really, I admire you!" The brigade commander pointed at Li Yunlong with a whip and said, "Are you so crazy that you want to fly to the sky?"

"Brigade Commander, I haven't done anything wrong now. I've been stripped down and sent to the clothing factory for embroidery. What other mistakes could I have made?" Li Yunlong muttered in a low voice.

"Li Yunlong! You are quite talkative. Why, now that the headquarters can't transfer you, you don't even listen to me?" the brigade commander said sternly, "The headquarters transferred you to the independent regiment, and you are making a fuss about it. Why, do you still want me to carry you to the post in a sedan chair?"

"Brigade Commander, how can that be possible? Can't I, Old Li, go?" Li Yunlong couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this. If he kept talking nonsense, the brigade commander's whip would really hit him. Li Yunlong could be dissatisfied with others, but he couldn't say a word to the brigade commander.

When Li Yunlong had not yet carried Zhongzheng on his back, the brigade commander had already carried Zhongzheng on his back!

"Speak louder, I can't hear you!" the brigade commander shouted.

"Report to the brigade commander, I, Li Yunlong, will resolutely obey orders and take up my post in the independent regiment immediately!" Li Yunlong also shouted loudly.

The brigade commander really hated and loved Li Yunlong. If he wasn't punished for three days, he would tear down the roof and tear down the tiles! So the brigade commander was also very troubled. Today, he came to the headquarters to report on his work. As soon as he entered the door, he was scolded by the boss for a long time. The brigade commander realized that Li Yunlong had caused trouble for him again, and this time he even went against the boss's order! This was unacceptable, so the brigade commander didn't even have time to say anything and chased to the clothing factory. After asking, he found out that Li Yunlong had not embroidered at all during this period, but was tossing some earthen kiln, which made the brigade commander even more angry!

So as soon as he arrived, the brigade commander started to scold Li Yunlong!

Seeing that Li Yunlong was still a little unconvinced, the brigade commander pointed at Li Yunlong with a whip and said, "Why, are you going to the independent regiment to bury your talent, Li Yunlong? You are still unconvinced. Look at what you have been doing recently. I heard that you have been playing in the mud here. Are you addicted to it? How about I let you squat here and play in the mud for the rest of your life?"

After the brigade commander finished speaking, he looked at the earthen kiln, where some strange-shaped large vats were being burned. He could not help but calm down and asked curiously, "Li Yunlong, what are you doing? This thing doesn't look like a vat. What are you burning it for?"

"Brigade Commander, speaking of this, you have to thank me, Xiao Li. This is what we use to produce sulfuric acid. With it, we will soon be able to produce bullet propellant ourselves." When Li Yunlong heard the brigade commander ask this, his back straightened up and he said as if he was showing off.

"Produce sulfuric acid? You, Li Yunlong, can barely recognize a few words, how can you learn to produce sulfuric acid from others?" The brigade commander was stunned, and looked at him intently as if he saw Li Yunlong for the first time, which made Li Yunlong feel a little numb again.

"Brigade Commander, please don't look down on me. I spent a lot of effort to make this thing." Hearing the brigade commander's disbelief, Li Yunlong refused to give in and said with his neck stiff, "Of course, I made the vat. I hired an expert to produce sulfuric acid. Yes, it's Brother Ren. He is good at it. We have already produced a part of it. We are just waiting for this big vat to come out. Then we can produce sulfuric acid in large quantities."

The brigade commander turned and looked in the direction Li Yunlong pointed. Ren Zhong was wearing a long gown at the moment. Although he was young, he did have a bookish air. The brigade commander had sharp eyes and could tell immediately that Ren Zhong's hands were not good for working, and there were no signs of sun and rain on his body. His delicate skin and tender flesh made him look like a young master from a wealthy family.

"Hello, Brigadier General! I have heard of your great name for a long time. Nice to meet you!" Ren Zhong saw the Brigadier General looking at him and immediately bowed. "I am Ren Zhong, an overseas traveler. Nice to meet you, Brigadier General!"

"Are you an overseas Chinese?" The brigade commander's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had never thought that Li Yunlong was so wild that he even hooked up with overseas Chinese. Although the brigade commander himself did not know how sulfuric acid was produced, with the help of an overseas Chinese, it did not seem so difficult to understand why Li Yunlong could produce sulfuric acid.

"Yes, Brigade Commander. I am a Chinese from Southeast Asia. We Chinese feel the same about the domestic war of resistance. I joined a Chinese underground organization to do my best for the domestic anti-Japanese war. Our organization is weak and can only transport some scarce materials to the base. Then, I apply the little knowledge I have learned to the production of materials in the base. Sulfuric acid is a product of my little knowledge of chemistry. I tried to use the conditions in the base to see if I could build a simple production workshop."

Ren Zhong humbly explained the matter briefly.

"You are..." An idea suddenly occurred to the brigade commander, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he leaned closer to Ren Zhong and whispered, "You are the one who provided the penicillin special medicine?"

Penicillin is now the most valuable thing in the base, and it is also a good thing that makes Zhang Wanhe make a lot of money. The news has long been classified as top secret, and except for a few high-level officials like the brigade commander, the source has never been leaked to the outside world.

Of course, the wounded soldiers of the New 1st Regiment had tried it and had some understanding of it. Apart from them, only a very small number of people like Li Yunlong and Hu Zi knew the direct connection between penicillin and Ren Zhong.

But they were all asked to keep it secret, so Ren Zhong was just a strange man who wanted to produce a custom-made vat to the kiln workers and workers present. It was not clear what Ren Zhong could do.
