Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

After the commander left, only Chen Yan and the brigade commander were left in the yard.

Chen Yan is a smart and sweet-talker boy. He came up and saluted the brigade commander first.

"Report to you, senior. I, Chen Yan, a student of the 14th class of Huangpu Military Academy, salute you. It will be my great honor to serve under your command in the future."

"From now on, if you point east, I will not go west. If you ask me to beat the dog, I will never scold the chicken."

When the brigade commander heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Wow, what a talent!

Is this how we become friends?

At this time, the brigade commander was very satisfied with him and said with a smile:

"Chen Yan, I think your mouth can plow the land, you are really good at talking."

"Stop talking nonsense. I am now talking to you formally on behalf of the organization."

They were about to get to the point, but the brigade commander was a little troubled.

Looking at Chen Yan's long-expectant eyes, the brigade commander muttered to himself.

The leader agreed to give him the position of company commander, but can he really do it?

Alas, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death!

But the more I look at this guy, the more I like him. I must not let him run away. I have to trick him.

The brigade commander thought about it and came up with an idea. He continued:

"The commander has never appreciated or valued you more than before."

"The leader instructed that you are still young and need to go to the grassroots level for more training."

"This will allow us to firstly get familiar with our Eighth Route Army and secondly, lay a solid foundation. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."

"With your talent, you will definitely achieve great things in our Eighth Route Army in the future."

This set of PUA completely stunned Chen Yan, who was completely confused.

Chen Yan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The brigade commander looked at Chen Yan's confused eyes and felt much more at ease.

I have laid the groundwork almost enough, I should be able to trick them.

Then the brigade commander continued:

"In order to recognize your abilities, the leaders are preparing to directly reorganize Heiyun Village into a regular army with an organization."

Hearing this, Chen Yan showed an incredible expression and exclaimed:

"Brigade Commander, is it true? You are going to give me the assignment?"

The regularly organized troops mentioned by the brigade commander are the official national army recognized by the National Government, and can obtain military equipment, food, wages and other military supplies allocated by the Logistics Department.

During the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army was called the Eighteenth Group Army. It was then affiliated with the Military Commission of the National Government and was a product of the era of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

During this period, although the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army expanded a lot, the Kuomintang only gave it three divisions in order to restrict the orderly development of the Communist Party. The other expanded teams were not recognized by the government, that is, they were non-staff teams with numbers but no organization.

The 772nd and 773rd Regiments were all regular troops recognized by the Kuomintang, while the New st and Independent Regiments were too numerous to count.

This was one of the reasons why the Eighth Route Army had difficulties during the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance. As the army grew larger and larger, the Kuomintang had limited supplies and often could not deliver them.

Therefore, when Chen Yan heard that the brigade commander was going to give his team a regular army organization, Chen Yan was really shocked.

Then, Chen Yan said with tears and snot: "Thank you for the trust of the head of the headquarters, I will do my best."

"Brigade Commander, don't worry, our Eighth Route Army is very decent, and I, Chen Yan, am also not vague..."

Seeing Chen Yan's non-stop expression of his views, the brigade commander quickly took advantage of the opportunity to intervene.

He said lightly:

"Xiao Chen, your attitude is very good. You should work hard to improve yourself at the grassroots level."

"I'll say hello to the 772nd Regiment later. With your strength, you can squeeze out a reinforced company for Heiyun Village."

Hearing this, Chen Yan's mind went blank at first, and then started buzzing.

What the hell? Going to the grassroots for training means they want me to be a company commander?

The most hateful thing is that I got into the hands of Blind Cheng. With his two knives, I have to follow him around in the future?

This can't be a huge conspiracy to make me a cheap son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan jumped up, moved closer to the brigade commander, widened his eyes, and said loudly:

"Brigade Commander, no, this is absolutely not possible."

Seeing Chen Yan's reaction, the brigade commander felt a chill in his heart.

Damn it, this guy is hard to fool, I still can’t agree.

At this time Chen Yan picked up a cigarette and sighed:

"Mr. Brigade Commander, you are too bureaucratic."

"I joined the Eighth Route Army sincerely, and you are also using the Kuomintang's game of closeness and distance to get close to me?"

"With the Black Cloud Village being able to defeat them seven times in and out of Cangyun Ridge, and a force of more than 300 people, you are only going to give them the organization of a reinforced company?"

"It seems to be the same everywhere. An adopted child is like a weed. Neither his father cares for him nor his mother loves him."

As he spoke, Chen Yan looked at the brigade commander with an aggrieved look on his face, and he also had his own little plan in mind.

The first priority of Heiyun Village now is to join the team and not let the negotiations break down.

However, we cannot let others lead us by the nose; we must still take the initiative in our own hands.

When people are under the most stressful moments, their brains work very quickly.

At this time, Chen Yan remembered the bluffing strategy among the Thirty-Six Strategies.

Then, Chen Yan forced out a few tears and looked at the brigade commander affectionately.

"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

"Brigade Commander, the Eighth Route Army will always be the most sacred team in my heart."

"However, I'm sorry, this condition is difficult for me to comply with, and I can't explain it to my brothers."

"I wanted my brothers to feel the warmth of the Eighth Route Army, but now I feel a little disappointed."

After saying that, Chen Yan covered his chest with his hands and pretended to leave.

At this time, the brigade commander felt a little flustered and couldn't help but frown.

It’s over, the duck that has been caught is about to fly away.

However, the brigade commander, who was used to big scenes, quickly recovered his composure.

But Chen Yan caught the brigade commander's slight change in mood clearly.

Then, the brigade commander smiled and grabbed Chen Yan, pressing him down on the stool.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You are asking for an exorbitant price in business. Why don't you pay me back on the spot? Would you like to negotiate it?"

Hearing this, Chen Yan's eyes lit up.

It’s settled. This time he’s been fed to death.

It seems that the brigade commander has really taken a fancy to Heiyun Village. It will be easy to deal with it if we know its trump card.

The brigade commander said: "Brother, you have to understand my difficulties."

Then the brigade commander explained the whole process.

Chen Yan listened carefully and thought of a solution in his mind.

"Brigade Commander, since the commander has spoken, we must respect it."

Then, his eyes rolled and he had another evil idea.

"Brigade Commander, this is just like fighting a war. Since a frontal assault doesn't work, let's change our thinking. All roads lead to Rome, right?"

Hearing this, the brigade commander's eyes sparkled and he said in surprise:

"So, you have an idea!".
