Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chen Yan was ordered to come to the headquarters to serve as a serviceman, but he was tortured a lot. The commander treated him very badly, and he felt like he was being tortured.

Chen Yan was not the kind of person who would wait to be beaten and not fight back. He started to deliberately make trouble from the second day. Sometimes he would go to the kitchen to criticize and say that the food they cooked was as bad as shit; sometimes he would go to the telecommunications department to touch this and poke that, causing chaos in the headquarters. Many people went to the commander to complain, and the commander was so angry that he yelled, "Chen Yan, get out of here and go back to the independent regiment."

In this way, Chen Yan ended his three-day happy life at the headquarters ahead of schedule.

On this day, Chen Yan had the rare leisure time to bask in the sun in the yard. He crossed his legs and watched the monks exercising.

"Monk, you are awesome. You can do 800 push-ups in one breath. Now let me see how you can swing the millstone a few more times."

Upon hearing this, the monk took a deep breath, picked up the stone mill, and started dancing with great vigor, which made Chen Yan dance with joy.

"Monk, show me your red tasseled spear again."

The monk didn't stop his hands, but complained in his heart: "Captain, you are tiring this silly boy out."

Chen Yan was watching the monk's performance with great joy. The more he watched, the more he liked it. He was indeed the leader of the independent regiment. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and felt uneasy.

Early in the morning, Li Yunlong seemed to deliberately walk back and forth in the yard seven or eight times, and his eyes were strange, revealing a hint of vulgarity.

Chen Yan was totally confused, so he called out to Li Yunlong who was trying to pry open the door.

"Old Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"No...it's okay, you are busy, I'll leave first."

He spoke haltingly, his eyes were wandering, and the corners of his mouth were slightly downturned. These were clear signs of lying.

There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. This old Li is not a good person to deal with. I have to be careful. He has been planning to usurp the throne before, so I don't want him to start a fire in my backyard.

At this time, the monk looked at Chen Yan embarrassedly, and after a long time he made up his mind and said:

"Captain, is the deputy commander sick? He looked at me like that during the last battle at Lijiaopo, and it's gotten worse since then. He always peeks at me with a sneaky look in his eyes, and sometimes he comes to my window and strolls around in the middle of the night, scaring me so much that I can't sleep."

Chen Yan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

It turns out that Li Yunlong was not looking for me, but was targeting Monk Wei.

Could it be true, as the monk said, that Li Yunlong has the hobby of "Duanxiu"?

Chen Yan couldn't help but shudder.

No, that's impossible! Lao Li has married two wives and has two sons in his life. How could that be possible?

He looked Monk Wei up and down, and suddenly he understood.

Oh no, Li Yunlong must be attracted by the monk’s martial arts and wants to recruit him as a guard.

That won't do. I was the one who took a fancy to the monk first. He is trying to poach my people. What can I do then?

Having said that, Chen Yan hurried back into the house, picked up his things and ran to Zhao Gang's yard.

The monk is still Zhao Gang's guard, and Chen Yan plans to strike first. As long as he can get the monk, Li Yunlong will be at his wit's end. He finds Zhao Gang and hands him an exquisite wooden box.

"Old Zhao, come and see what this is?"

Zhao Gang looked at the mysterious Chen Yan, opened it with confusion, and exclaimed:

"Mauser Kar98K sniper rifle, commander, this is a good thing, where did you get it?"

"I made this myself. I said before that I would give you a joining gift."

After saying that, Chen Yan took the gun out of the wooden box and threw it to Zhao Gang, "Old Zhao, try it and see how it feels."

Zhao Gang fondled the delicate gun body, turned quickly and aimed at the crow on the tree at the entrance of the village.

There was a bang of a gunshot, and the old crow fell to the ground.

"Commander, the quality of this gun is so good. I didn't expect your military manufacturing capabilities are so strong. If it can be promoted throughout the army, then our Eighth Route Army will be better off."

Zhao Gang is truly a responsible and visionary person. He always puts the interests of the collective first in his heart, fully demonstrating the old revolutionary soldier's selfless and lofty belief in putting the interests of the people first.

"Lao Zhao, don't flatter me. In order to make this gun for you, I went to great lengths to find such a piece of high-quality carbon steel. In order to improve the precision of the gun body, I spent seven days and seven nights carefully polishing the gun. Just a 7x scope took me two days. You still want to mass-produce it? Just kill me."

"Oh, it's a pity that it can't be mass-produced. However, I absolutely cannot accept such a valuable gift."

Although Zhao Gang said this, his eyes never left 98K, filled with desire and greed.

Chen Yan teased him deliberately and stretched out his hand towards the 98K, "Old Zhao, you really don't want it? Then I'll take it."

"I really don't want to."

"Please don't let go."

"I really can't accept it, it's too expensive."

"I understand. Let go. If you don't want me, I'll give it to someone else."

After two or three moves, Chen Yan failed to pull the gun out of Zhao Gang's hand, so Chen Yan waved his hand.

"Forget it, if you feel it's not a good idea to accept this gun, then exchange it for something else."

Zhao Gang seemed to have found a new world: "Okay, I'll give you whatever you want."

"I want Monk Wei, and let him follow me from now on."

"What? Trading a person for a gun? Isn't this an insult? This is not okay."

"Old Zhao, you intellectuals are just pretentious. Let me put it another way."

"This gun is a gift from me. Can you please give it up and let Monk Wei be my bodyguard? This way it won't count as exchanging people for guns."

"Okay then. I, Zhao Gang, am a sensible person. There is no reason to refuse. I agree."

Chen Yan glanced at Zhao Gang, who was full of excitement, and muttered to himself:

It's the same thing, but you're just pretending to be so pretentious. You're really good at pretending.

This is like going into a brothel and claiming that you care about women. What nonsense.

Fortunately, Chen Yan took the initiative to poach the monk, because Li Yunlong was also planning this and preparing to set a trap for Zhao Gang, but he didn't know that the monk had changed his owner.

Li Yunlong dragged Zhao Gang to drink and talk with him, with a flattering look on his face. His previous rudeness and roughness were gone, and he was now very respectful instead.

"Lao Zhao, there were so many misunderstandings before. Let me pour you a glass. Let's drink together and get closer."

Zhao Gang was completely confused, but he knew that Li Yunlong was up to no good, so he was always on guard, but in the end he fell into his trap.

Li Yunlong saw that Zhao Gang drank more and more, and his speech became a little dazed, with the look of a villain who had succeeded.

"Old Zhao, we two brothers will have good things in the future. Do you still need my strong support for your work as political commissar?"

"Old Li, if you keep this attitude in the future, there's no doubt that we can become sworn brothers."

"That's easy to say. From now on we are brothers. Brother, can you let the monk be my guard? I really like this guy."

Chen Yan had noticed Li Yunlong's abnormality a long time ago and had been hiding outside the window and staring at him.

You're so good, Li Dabo, you've been lying in ambush all night and now you're finally showing your teeth.

When it comes to comparing tactics with me, you are still a little inexperienced. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Just wait and see how I deal with you.

Then, Chen Yan kicked open the door, and Zhao Gang, who was originally dizzy, was sobered up by the shock.
