Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

He thought carefully, and it seemed that Li Yunlong really had the ability to achieve a victory by surprise.

If he could really make the New 1st Regiment a top-notch unit in six months, it would undoubtedly be great news for their 38th Brigade.

Besides, even if Li Yunlong couldn't do it, with the military order in place, his performance wouldn't be too bad.

The brigade commander was shaken, "No joking in the army?"

He did intend to protect Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong immediately responded: "There is no joking in the army!"

The brigade commander gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this is just the first time. I'll ask the boss for you first!"

Li Yunlong smiled brightly, "Oh, Brigade Commander, I kneel down to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my position as the leader of the new regiment..."

The brigade commander rolled his eyes immediately and said, "But Li Yunlong, don't be too complacent. If your new regiment still hasn't improved after six months..."

Li Yunlong replied solemnly: "I will bring my head to you!"

The brigade commander snorted and was about to hang up the phone when he thought of something else.

"Li Yunlong, someone must have given you advice this time, right? Otherwise, how could you think of issuing a military order to respond to the superior's instructions?"

In the past, if Li Yunlong wanted to disobey orders, he would have done so directly. Why would he need to issue a military order to defy his superiors?

When it comes to Li Yunlong dealing with the Japanese army, he may have many strategies.

But this was the first time that Li Yunlong disobeyed orders and used the method of signing a military order to get around it.

Brigade Commander Chen did not believe that this was Li Yunlong's idea.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you, Brigade Commander. Someone really gave me advice this time. His name is Cao Geng, and he is now the commander of the Third Battalion of my New First Regiment."

Brigade Commander Chen asked, "Cao Geng?"

This was the first time he heard the name.

"So it turns out that he is one of your soldiers."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded, "He's much smarter than you."

Li Yunlong suddenly looked embarrassed.

Then, without giving Li Yunlong a chance to refute, the brigade commander hung up the phone!

After the brigade commander hung up the phone, Li Yunlong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He followed Cao Geng's advice, and unexpectedly it worked for the brigade commander!

Now the brigade commander has passed the test, and now it depends on the response of the boss.

However, he still felt a headache when he thought about transforming the new regiment into a reinforced brigade within six months.

This is beyond human power.

"Then the next step is to break up into smaller units and divide our forces!" Li Yunlong whispered.

He remembered what Cao Geng said when he gave him advice that day.

Divide the troops!

This was also the idea that Cao Geng proposed to him.

On that day, Li Yunlong heard Cao Geng say: "If we want to expand the New 1st Regiment to the size of a brigade within half a year, we must let the soldiers in the regiment disperse and find strongholds in battalions and develop on their own."

"Half a year later, the dispersed troops will return to the new regiment's base."

"Only in this way can the efficiency of recruiting soldiers for the new regiment be maximized!"

After Cao Geng finished speaking, Li Yunlong thought about it and expressed his deep agreement.

He knew that sometimes to grow the team, he had to delegate.

In order to achieve the best results within half a year, he had no choice but to divide his forces.

Dividing the troops is now his only way to solve the problem.

This is the only way to complete the task.

As for the result of dividing the troops?

I can only leave it to fate.

Of course, when Cao Geng made the suggestion, Li Yunlong also met Cao Geng's requirements and gave him the few people he wanted.

Wang Chengzhu, Wang Xikui, Sun Desheng...

As long as it could help him overcome the difficulties, it would be no problem for Li Yunlong to give Cao Geng a few soldiers.

...

Shortly after the brigade commander had a cordial conversation with Li Yunlong.

Brigade Commander Chen had a phone call with the boss.

What was the conversation about?

Of course, it is a question about Li Yunlong's future fate.

The brigade commander asked: "Boss, Li Yunlong is indeed a rare talent in our brigade! Is there really no room for maneuver regarding the matter of going to the clothing factory?"

The boss frowned and asked in surprise, "What kind of magic potion did Li Yunlong give you? Why are you suddenly speaking for him?"

In the past, Brigade Commander Chen of the 38th Brigade always carried out the orders of the commander-in-chief without hesitation.

But it was the first time for Brigade Commander Chen to speak up for this idiot Li Yunlong, which surprised the general.

Brigade Commander Chen said with a smile: "To be honest, I just passed on your order. But guess what? Li Yunlong actually gave me a military order! He said he would expand the New 1st Regiment into a reinforced brigade within half a year!"

The boss was shocked when he heard this.

"Expand it into a reinforced brigade within half a year?"

The boss's voice couldn't help but get a little louder.

It was similar to his reaction when he spoke to Li Yunlong before.

Is it his boss who is crazy, or is it Li Yunlong who is crazy?

His words shocked the deputy chief of staff who had been looking at the map.

"What's wrong, boss?" the deputy chief of staff asked in surprise.

The boss is usually calm, but today he seems a little out of control.

Did something major happen?

However, the general did not respond to the deputy chief of staff, and questioned Brigade Commander Chen on the phone: "How dare Li Yunlong issue such a military order in half a year?"

Brigade Commander Chen expected the boss to react like this.

After all, expanding the New 1st Regiment into a reinforced brigade within half a year is simply a fantasy.

Frankly speaking, he was quite surprised when he recalled his conversation with Li Yunlong now.

Brigade Commander Chen said: "That's right, after listening to Li Yunlong's military order, my reaction was the same as yours. I also felt that he could never do it!"

"But guess what he said?"

"It took more than half a year to build the New 1st Regiment into one of the strongest regiments in the division. This should be certain, right? Li Yunlong wiped out the Sakata Regiment with only one regiment in Cangyun Ridge. Who would have believed it before it happened? Who would have dared to believe it?"

"However, Li Yunlong did all these!"

"Now, in order to avoid your punishment, he has signed a military order. If the new regiment cannot be upgraded to a reinforced brigade within six months, he will come to see me with his head on his shoulders!"

"But I thought, if he can really complete this military order, wouldn't it be something worth celebrating for the entire North China region?"

"Boss, why don't we give him a chance?"

Brigade Commander Chen asked tentatively.
