Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

The lights in the room were dim, and after three bowls of wine, Zhao Gang felt a little tipsy.

"Captain Kong, please tell me why the soldiers today are avoiding me as if I were the plague god, and what does this have to do with drinking."

Chen Yan's heart was as happy as a flower at this moment.

Why? It’s because I gave the order.

Lao Zhao, you are still the real Lao Zhao!

Hearing Zhao Gang ask this, Chen Yan threw a peanut into his mouth.

"Political Commissar Zhao, you don't know this."

"Who are you? You are the treasured intellectual in the brigade. We soldiers are all hard-working peasants and working class people."

"You educated people speak eloquently, but the soldiers can't understand you for a long time. Isn't this a communication barrier? How can we carry out our work well?"

"So if you want to do a good job, you have to eliminate the rejection among the soldiers and make them feel that you are the same as them."

"Your drinking habits reflect your character. You, Old Zhao, have to show everyone your sincerity and be someone who can eat meat and drink wine with everyone."

"Come, drink another bowl, let me see your sincerity first."

At this time, Zhao Gang was a little drunk. After hearing what Chen Yan said, he was honest and drank it right away.

"Captain Kong, what you said makes sense. You are experienced, so I will listen to you and make sure to get along well with the soldiers."

At the same time, the headquarters of the Yangcun Independent Regiment.

In the room, Kong Jie was smoking welding fumes and running around in a hurry.

It’s over. My previous punishment hasn’t been lifted yet and the new political commissar is gone again.

The newly appointed head of the group, Chen Yan, will arrive tomorrow. How am I going to explain this?

I have heard of this guy. He destroyed Sakata's headquarters with one shot at Cang Yunling.

Later he was recruited into our army and is now a favorite of the head of the headquarters.

I guess Chen Yan won’t be very nice to me!

Have I been bullied by villains this year? Why am I so unlucky? God is going to kill me, Kong!

......

On the other hand, Zhao Gang was also a passionate person, and he and Chen Yan enjoyed themselves more and more as they drank.

"Captain Kong, the more I drink this wine, the more comfortable I feel."

"Political Commissar Zhao, do you know why not?"

Zhao Gang stared, looking eagerly at Chen Yan, who had a mysterious look on his face.

"I don't know, why don't you tell me the details behind this."

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Gang and laughed:

"Haha, the wine we're drinking today is not just any ordinary wine. The wine we're drinking is a combination of intellectuals and workers and peasants. It's a wedding wine."

"Haha, well said. Come, have another bowl of wedding wine to celebrate my marriage to the working class and peasant class."

As the two chatted, Zhao Gang felt that Chen Yan was more and more unusual. His words were a bit rough, but every word made sense and touched Zhao Gang's heart.

At this time, Zhao Gang picked up a bowl of wine and said cheerfully:

"Captain Kong, I'll toast you another bowl. I know you've been dismissed, but I think you have an extraordinary way of speaking and will achieve great things in the future."

"In a few days, when the new regiment commander Chen Yan arrives, I will discuss with him and we will go to the brigade commander together to plead for you. Our brigade is short of military cadres now, and you will be reinstated soon."

"Okay, then I would like to thank Political Commissar Zhao."

Just when he said this, Chen Yan realized that he was half sober.

"What, who did you just say the new leader is? Where did you hear the information from? Is it accurate?"

At this moment, Chen Yan's hand holding the wine was shaking non-stop, and his face, which had been flushed just now, turned pale with fear.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang looked at Chen Yan suspiciously.

"When I took office, the brigade commander said in person that the new regiment commander would be named Chen Yan, and he would be an incorporated regiment commander. Is there any problem with that?"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan slapped himself hard in the face and felt bitter in his heart.

Oh shit, it turns out I’m the leader of the independent group!

Then what's the point of my cheating? Isn't this just a waste of time?

At this time, Li San walked in quickly.

"Captain, this is terrible. We've gotten into big trouble."

"The brigade sent an urgent telegram saying that Political Commissar Zhao is missing. Now the entire Eighth Route Army in the Second War Zone has been mobilized to search for him."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang spat out a mouthful of wine.

"What? I'm right here. The brigade must have made a mistake."

Li San looked at Chen Yan guiltily at this time and said nothing.

Chen Yan was also dumbfounded. He never expected that the Eighth Route Army in the entire Second War Zone would be in chaos.

This is not something that can be resolved by killing a few pigs.

It seems that this matter can no longer be concealed, and the incident cannot be allowed to escalate further.

Chen Yan quickly calmed himself down and explained everything to Zhao Gang.

Afterwards, Chen Yan said with a sad face and aggrieved.

"Lao Zhao, I got the news in advance that a well-educated college student will be coming to the brigade. My original intention was to impress you and ask you to help me with the ideological work of the soldiers in Heiyun Village. It is not easy for me for the development of the army. You have to understand me."

Who knew that Zhao Gang didn't buy into Chen Yan's tricks at all, and shouted angrily:

"Are you trying to move me? This is a blatant lie."

At this time, Chen Yan did not give up. He continued to squeeze out a few tears, pretending to be even more heartbroken.

"Maybe there's something wrong with my approach. I will definitely change it in the future."

"Political Commissar Zhao, it's all my fault that I cherished you too much. You are a rare talent."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang said with a look of disgust: "Don't flatter me. Send me back to Yangcun immediately. This is a big mess. If I don't handle it well, I will be scolded. It's nonsense to talk about this right after taking office."

At this time, Li San interrupted:

"Political Commissar, don't let anyone send you off. Just go with the commander."

As he spoke, Li San took out another telegram.

"The Political Department of the Headquarters has issued an order, ordering Chen Yan to immediately go to the Independent Regiment and serve as the regiment commander. The 17th Squadron of the First Death Squadron will be incorporated into the Independent Regiment, and the order will take effect immediately."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang almost fell down. He looked at Chen Yan in disbelief.

"What the hell, you are Chen Yan."

"The new commander of the independent regiment kidnapped the new political commissar?"

Chen Yan smiled shamelessly.

"Look, Lao Zhao, we two brothers are so destined to be together. It's all fate."

Seeing Chen Yan's playful face, Zhao Gang was completely speechless. He turned his back in anger and cursed:

"Damn it, what is going on?"

Seeing Zhao Gang cursing, Chen Yan was not angry, but even more proud.

"Old Zhao, I knew college students were not ordinary, and you said it right away. You, the intellectuals, are getting better and better at integrating with the workers and peasants, and you're even cursing."

Then, Chen Yan said to Li San:

"Hurry up and call your superiors and tell them that Political Commissar Zhao encountered a small enemy attack on his way to take office and was rescued by our troops. He is currently fine and is resting in Heiyun Village. Tomorrow morning, I will personally send Political Commissar Zhao back to the Independent Regiment."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and said:

"You are so cunning. By reporting like this, you actually get credit for it."

Chen Yan quickly put on a smile and said:

"My great political commissar, you are a loyal man who always considers the overall situation. You will definitely not report me to the brigade commander."

"Why did the brigade let me join the independent regiment? It's because they saw my abilities. I believe that if we work together, we can lead a team that has a tough style and can win battles. Let's not mention this little episode today in the future."

Hearing Chen Yan praising himself all the time, Zhao Gang's expression eased a lot.

"What you reported is true. Without you, it would be difficult for me to escape from the predicament today."

"Forget it, let's just let this matter go. But if you make any more mistakes in principle in the future, I will never tolerate it."

Chen Yan took a breath quickly:

"The political commissar is sensible. I will definitely cooperate with you in your work and listen to you in the future."

This misunderstanding was thus dealt with, and the more Chen Yan looked at Zhao Gang, the happier he became.

He stood under the moonlight and sighed:

"This is the true character of Zhao Gang. He is principled but not fussy about details. He is a role model for our young people."

"Thank you, Lao Zhao."
