"Absolutely!"

After listening to Qiao Lin's detailed introduction, Li Yunlong slapped the table and couldn't help shouting: "You can think of this way, I understand why the brigade commander valued you so much the first time we met. It's Zhuge Liang!"

"Head, it's almost done, you're exaggerating a bit."

Faced with such straightforward praise from Li Yunlong, Qiao Lin felt a little embarrassed.

Comparable to Zhuge Liang?He thought he wasn't that great.

"Not at all. In terms of skills, you are top-notch in the whole regiment. In terms of brains, no one in the regiment is as good as you. What do you call this? You are brave and resourceful! Fortunately, Lao Xing is still the chief of staff, compared to you It’s far away, so I’ll kill Lao Xing, and you will be my chief of staff, and let him be my bodyguard.”

The more Li Yunlong said the more he went too far, he demoted Xing Zhiguo to nothing.

Qiao Lin was startled when he heard that, if Xing Zhiguo heard this, who would he be?

"Leader, please, shut up!"

Qiao Lin hurriedly made a bow, and almost rushed forward to gag Li Yunlong's mouth.

"Chief of Staff Xing's ability is in staff operations. He is not your babysitter. He has to worry about everything. I just help out with ideas. If you stay like this, I won't dare to talk about it next time."

After Qiao Lin had finished his good words, he finally managed to stabilize Li Yunlong's mood, and prevented him from causing a farce where the guards seized power as the chief of staff.

"Okay, for your sake, let Lao Xing continue to be his chief of staff."

Li Yunlong smashed his mouth, and seemed to feel aggrieved.

Qiao Lin couldn't laugh or cry, Li Yunlong's thinking was really different from ordinary people, so he had to repeatedly tell Li Yunlong not to show this idea in front of Xing Zhiguo.

All the problems were solved, and Li Yunlong was immediately full of energy. He called Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo for a regular meeting, determined the number of recruits for each subordinate unit, and then sent the communication team to convey the order.

The next day, Qiao Lin followed Li Yunlong to the Brigade Headquarters to find a note from Brigadier Chen for approving military uniforms.

Brigadier Chen was also taken aback when he heard that the Independence Regiment wanted [-] sets of military uniforms.

Generally, when troops apply for military uniforms, a few hundred sets is already a large number. Li Yunlong now has more than 3000 sets. Brigadier Chen hesitated whether he should sign this letter or not.

It is estimated that with the soldiers in his hand, he has confidence in his heart. Li Yunlong's waist has stiffened a lot, and he became arrogant when talking to Brigadier Chen: "Brigade Commander, I have shrunk to the limit, don't you know? As soon as the Independence Regiment announced that it wanted to recruit soldiers, people from nearby counties and townships rushed over, crying and shouting that they wanted to be soldiers. There are tens of thousands of people. I recruited more than 3000 people through careful selection. You don’t need weapons. Worry, but you have to take care of the military uniform, right? You can’t let the recruits wrap themselves in sheepskin jackets and pretend to be eight soldiers!”

"Tens of thousands of people? Stop bragging to me, the people in the base area have all gone to you!"

Brigadier Chen was very dissatisfied with Li Yunlong's exaggerated statement.

"It's a little exaggerated, there are still tens of thousands of people."

Li Yunlong raised his little finger and said with a smile.

"Being able to recruit so many soldiers shows that we have built a good mass base in the base areas. The masses believe in our Eighth Route Army, and we must not let them down. Winning more battles and driving away the little devils as soon as possible is the reward for the common people. One time, next time is not an example."

Brigadier Chen educated Li Yunlong for a long time, took a pen and wrote a note, signed his name.

"Qiao Lin, the strength of the independent regiment has been replenished. You have to keep an eye on Li Yunlong for me, so that he doesn't know his last name if he has some troops."

Before leaving, Brigadier Chen held Qiao Lin back and gave him instructions.

"Don't worry, Brigadier Chen, our regiment leader is careful in his roughness, and we still have a sense of propriety in doing things."

Qiao Lin said a few good words for Li Yunlong.

After leaving the brigade headquarters, the two rushed to the next destination without stopping, the quilt factory in the border area.

"What, [-] sets?"

When Liu Degui, the new director of the quilt factory, saw the note approved by the brigade commander, his jaw almost dropped.

"It's written clearly in black and white. I didn't make a lie. If you don't believe me, let's go to the brigade commander to confront him."

Li Yunlong thought that the other party didn't believe it, so he pulled out Brigadier Chen's name.

"I don't believe it, but the factory doesn't have so much stock right now, and it will take a week to get it together even if we work overtime."

Liu Degui said with a sad face, this order is a bit too big.

"It's okay, I'll come back in a week to get it, and make me another [-] military caps and [-] sets of military uniforms."

Li Yunlong waved his hand. Anyway, it will take some time for recruits to go from being selected to leaving the army, and there is no rush to get new uniforms.

"Leader Li, this is not acceptable. There are [-] sets written on this note. Without Minister Zhang's approval, I can't give you any more sets."

Liu Degui is also a very principled person. As much as is written in the note, he will work overtime. If there is no note, there is not a single thread.

"Damn it, you're ungrateful, you're the factory manager, and I was recommended by Lao Tzu, so I'm not happy to ask you for a few more sets?"

Li Yunlong scolded angrily, Liu Degui was his deputy when he was the director of the factory, and when he was transferred to the head of the independent regiment, he was recommended by the logistics department to take over as the director of the factory.

"Captain Li, how many sets are these? Four thousand military caps are enough for two regiments. Why do you need so many caps?"

Liu Degui said dumbfoundedly, although the cloth used for the military caps was small, the sum of [-] caps was not a small amount, let alone [-] sets of military uniforms.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain to you. Where's Zhang Wanhe? I'll talk to him."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and took Qiao Lin straight to the logistics office.

Zhang Wanhe is the logistics minister of the border area, mainly responsible for all logistics affairs of the Eighth Route Army, and is on the same level as Brigadier Chen in terms of rank.

But Li Yunlong didn't respect Minister Zhang as much as Brigadier Chen.

After yelling and seeing Zhang Wanhe, Li Yunlong immediately acted like a rascal.

Either meet my conditions, or I'll hang around here.

Your Minister Zhang disagrees?It doesn't matter, if it's a big deal, go to the headquarters. What's wrong with me asking for a few more military caps for the soldiers?

Under Li Yunlong's nonsense, Zhang Wanhe finally compromised and agreed to give [-] more military caps, but only [-] sets of military uniforms.

There is no way, the fabric of the logistics department is very tight, and the fabric of a military uniform is enough to make [-] military caps.

"Did you see Zhang Wanhe's note, Liu Degui, you kid will learn to be clever in the future, and you don't know how to be flexible at all."

Li Yunlong, who returned triumphantly, dumped the newly approved note from the logistics department to Liu Degui, and by the way, gave him a bad meal.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The matter of conscription has been settled, and the matter of military uniforms has been settled. The next step is to train recruits, form militia teams, and find little devils to get weapons.

Once this person is motivated, he can't take care of anything when he is busy.

In the following days, Qiao Lin didn't even have time to exercise, and ran around with Li Yunlong every day.

Go to the conscription site to help check recruits, arrange training tasks, contact the people in various townships to pay attention to the devil's whereabouts...

From morning to night, every day, riding a horse has worn a layer of calluses on the buttocks.

Some interesting things happened during this period.

According to the predetermined plan, the targets of conscription for the Independent Regiment are all healthy young men under the age of 30.

However, many young women with progressive thinking also clamored to join the army.

Although there were heroines like Hua Mulan in ancient times, in that era, the consciousness of machismo was still relatively heavy.

It's not disrespect for women, it's just that things like going to war are generally believed to be what men should do.

As for women, they can do embroidering, cooking, and farming at home, and it is not suitable for wielding knives and guns.

As a result, conflicts arose at once. Those young women who wanted to join the army thought it belittled women and looked down on women, and clamored to go to the headquarters to file a complaint.

Fighting on the battlefield itself is physical work, and it is very dangerous. It is indeed not suitable for women.

But when it comes to bickering, ten men can't quarrel with one woman.

The big truths don't make sense, and the small truths don't make sense. After a few rounds, the soldiers in charge of conscription were defeated, and their faces were reddened by those young women.

They are all the people in the base area. It is not appropriate to speak too much, and it is useless to speak too lightly. Faced with wave after wave of subordinates who come to ask for help, Li Yunlong also has a big head.

In order not to affect the conscription, Qiao Lin had no choice but to step forward and advise Li Yunlong.

Soon, the Independence Regiment revised the requirements for conscription. Based on the principle of equality between men and women, it agreed to recruit female soldiers, but there were conditions.

Select the top soldiers from each army as a model, as long as they can catch up with them in the march, and their load can match them, they will be allowed to join the army.

Although this condition looks simple, it is actually very strict. These top soldiers have received long-term training, and their physical fitness is very strong. Compared with their speed and strength, not to mention women, even ordinary men can't match them.

In order to dispel the doubts of the young women, the Independence Group also deliberately claimed that, based on the principle of fairness and justice, shooting and shooting and combat skills are not natural skills, and they can be trained after enlisting in the army, as long as the physical fitness meets the standard.

Those young women who wanted to join the army couldn't see through that this was a smoke bomb, they all believed it, and enthusiastically signed up for the selection.

After several rounds, none of them reached the standard, and they were unwilling to admit defeat, and these young women did not complain about suing.

The fact that the Independent Regiment did not recruit female soldiers is a problem with the Independent Regiment, but now that the Independent Regiment recruits female soldiers, it is their own fault if they fail to meet the standards, and if they continue to make trouble, they will be playing rogue.

"Qiao Lin, with you, you are not only good at thinking, you are also top-notch in fooling lesbians."

After learning that the young woman's problem was quickly resolved, Li Yunlong was only convinced.

"What fooling? I'm convincing people with reasoning."

Jolin excused himself.

Educated with new ideas, he would not really exclude women from the army, but he believed that these aspiring young women should be placed in positions suitable for them.

Soon, under Qiao Lin's suggestion, the independent group announced another new news.

Young women who want to join the army cannot enter the combat unit due to physical reasons, but they can join the health team. The requirement is to be smart, bold and careful.

As for those young women who only want to fight on the battlefield, they can join the militia and receive corresponding military training. If conditions permit, they can participate in some small-scale battles.

For those young women who neither want to join the health team nor dare to fight, and middle-aged women who exceed the age standard, they can form a women's federation and be led by an independent group to be responsible for intelligence and logistical support.

In this way, the women's issues in the base areas were properly resolved.

Because of this incident, the Independent Corps also gained a good reputation, especially the women comrades, who said that the Eighth Route Army is the army that respects women the most.

It can take more than ten days of busy work before and after the conscription work is completely over.

In the defense area of ​​the independent regiment, six recruit training bases were divided, and Li Yunlong personally selected a group of soldiers with excellent military qualities to train the more than 3000 recruits.

Various militia brigades and squads were also established one after another. There were no clear tasks in the early stage, but a group of soldiers were photographed to train them, and tasks were assigned to them after a certain combat effectiveness was formed.

The uniforms of the quilt factory were also ready. Li Yunlong sent a battalion of soldiers to borrow horse-drawn carts and ox carts from fellow villagers, and it took a day to bring the uniforms back.

Each of the new soldiers in the establishment was issued a new set of military uniforms. As for the militia, except for the captain who was issued a uniform, the rest of the militia only received a military cap.

Even so, it made them very excited. From the moment they put on their hats, they were members of the Eighth Route Army.

After things are done one by one, only the issue of weapons remains, but this matter can only be determined by fate, and cannot be forced.
