Chapter 125: Aren’t You Afraid Of Pissing Off The Division Commander?
Jin Sui Army 358 Regiment
“Brother Yunlong, you’re a bit late. Brother, I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”
Seeing Li Yunlong arrive, Chu Yunfei personally came out to greet him.
Of course, although Chu Yunfei said that, he didn’t mean to blame him at all.
Having teamed up with Li Yunlong again for a job, Chu Yunfei earned meritorious service and received a commendation from his superior.
“Haha, Brother Chu, sorry about that. My partner at home wouldn’t let me out, so I was delayed a bit.” Li Yunlong laughed it off, directly using Zhao Gang as a shield.
“No problem, no problem, Brother Yunlong, please come in.” Chu Yunfei invited Li Yunlong into the room.
On the table, delicious dishes were already laid out.
Li Yunlong didn’t stand on ceremony, sat down boldly, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
Li Yunlong ate with oil dripping from his mouth, praising, “Brother Chu, the food here is really good. I heard you have your own chef. Brother, I really want to stay here a few more days.”
“Hehe.” Chu Yunfei chuckled and said, “Brother Yunlong, don’t be polite. If you want to stay a few more days, just stay.”
“That won’t do. If I don’t go back today, my partner definitely won’t let me out in the future.” Li Yunlong shook his head regretfully, looked at Chu Yunfei, and got straight to the point: “Brother Yunfei, after beating three Japanese Invaders regiments this time, what commendation did your superior give you?”
“Just some ammunition equipment and such, not as good as the Japanese Invaders logistics equipment that Brother Yunlong snatched.” Chu Yunfei brushed it off.
“Brother Chu, don’t mention it. I was so unlucky, only snatched back a pile of junk.” Li Yunlong was very dejected.
“Brother Yunlong, don’t joke. That’s equipment that can make bullets. How could it be junk?” Chu Yunfei questioned.
“That damn Fujita Ichi took out the key parts inside. Bullets can’t be made now. Isn’t that junk!” Li Yunlong cursed.
“There’s such a thing?” Chu Yunfei paused, probing, “With your temper, Brother Yunlong, didn’t you hurry to deal with that Fujita Ichi?”
“I wanted to, but no choice, there are other tasks to do. Can’t deal with Fujita Ichi for now.” Li Yunlong shook his head, picked up two more pieces of meat and put them in his mouth, eating relishly.
“Brother Yunlong, you’re not loyal on this point.” Chu Yunfei pretended to be displeased, “Lately, I’ve seen you running to all the nearby friendly forces. You have a job but don’t call on Chu, letting others do it?”
“Hahaha.” Li Yunlong laughed heartily and said, “Brother Chu, you misunderstood. Where am I disloyal? It’s just that this job is too big. Calling only you wouldn’t have enough troops.”
“So Chu still has a chance?”
“Of course.” Li Yunlong nodded emphatically, “Any good thing, you’re the first I think of, Brother Chu. It’s just that I came to discuss it with you today, indeed a bit late. Don’t mind, Brother Chu.”
“No problem, I don’t mind. Good food isn’t afraid of being late.” Chu Yunfei shook his head, asked curiously: “What kind of job are you planning this time?”
“Can’t reveal the specific task yet, but this time it’ll definitely piss off the Japanese Invaders badly. Worst case, Japanese Invaders from Taiyuan will all come out.” Li Yunlong said solemnly to Chu Yunfei, “Then, when Japanese Invaders reinforcements from all directions come, whether intercepting them halfway or taking advantage of their empty defense zone to loot profits there, there’ll be big gains. Brother Chu, the Japanese Invaders area here looks profitable. When their main force comes out, you can go loot. Whatever you loot, brother won’t take a cut from you. It’s all yours.”
“Brother Yunlong has big ambitions. From your tone, this commotion is bigger than attacking Taiyuan.” Chu Yunfei was very shocked.
We took out three Japanese Invaders regiments, you snatched the Japanese Invaders iron smelting plant.
The Japanese Invaders side is furious, mobilizing troops.
And you, not only not hiding, but seem to plan an even bigger one against the wind.
You really not afraid of screwing up.
“Attacking mere Taiyuan is nothing. I wouldn’t look at it.” Li Yunlong boasted, “It’s just that this current task is too important, can’t spare for Taiyuan. Otherwise, I’d snatch Shinozuka’s commanding sword from that Japanese Invader dead or alive.”
“Hahaha.” Chu Yunfei laughed, “Yunlong is truly a hero. Chu admires you. If one day you really attack Taiyuan, Chu will definitely help out.”
“Good, no problem. Brother Chu, when brother goes to Taiyuan to get rich, I’ll definitely call you.” Li Yunlong nodded seriously, then lowered his head to eat two pieces of fish meat, praising: “This fish is really delicious, no bones even.”
“Brother Yunlong, if you like it, when you go back, I’ll have them make a few more portions for you to take away.” Chu Yunfei smiled, then asked, “Brother Yunlong, Chu has another matter. Since you’re here, let’s communicate about it.”
“What matter?” Li Yunlong looked up at Chu Yunfei.
“That strange heavy cannon in your hands, brother is really interested…” Chu Yunfei didn’t finish.
Li Yunlong interrupted awkwardly: “Brother Chu, it’s not that brother won’t sell to you. Didn’t I say? Our brigade commander won’t let me sell. I dream of earning your gold.”
“Brother Yunlong, I’ll be straightforward. Our superior is interested in your artillery.” Chu Yunfei didn’t hide it.
After he reported it, his superior told Chu Yunfei’s side to negotiate with Li Yunlong.
Superior also said, let Li Yunlong’s side set the conditions.
As long as not too outrageous, superior will consider.
After all, the battlefield significance of heavy firepower is beyond doubt!
“Brother Chu, this really puts brother in a difficult spot.” Li Yunlong continued frowning, “Our brigade commander won’t let me sell. Don’t talk about your superior, even if your principal comes, I can’t sell.”
“No problem, Brother Yunlong, I’m just giving you the heads-up.” Chu Yunfei said, “Our superior said, you can set the conditions. As long as not too outrageous, it can be considered?”
“Let us set conditions?” Li Yunlong was stunned, “Aren’t you tempting me to break discipline? If I want Brother Chu’s artillery battalion, would Brother Chu trade your artillery battalion?”
“Brother Yunlong, that probably won’t work.” Chu Yunfei immediately shook his head, “Artillery battalion is Chu’s bread-and-butter. Brother Yunlong, don’t joke about brother. You can go back and discuss this condition slowly with your brigade commander.”
“Alright, for the sake of Brother Yunfei’s sincerity in treating me to this meal, I’ll go back and report to our brigade commander. I have to say it upfront, I don’t guarantee it will work.” Li Yunlong thought to himself, I won’t report to the brigade commander. After this meal, head straight to the arsenal.
That Younger Brother Li at the arsenal is the guy who fools even our brigade commander completely.
See how Younger Brother Li handles this.
If he doesn’t want to, then drop it.
If he does, hehe, this business won’t lose us anything.
What, sell my Hell Cannon to Chu Yunfei, what about me later?
Don’t joke!
If selling Hell Cannon, we’ll definitely tell Younger Brother Li to sell from someone else’s hands.
Like our division commander!
He has four Hell Cannons in hand.
“Of course, nothing is absolute.” Chu Yunfei, hearing Li Yunlong agree, was very happy, poured wine for Li Yunlong, “Brother Yunlong, if it doesn’t work out, Chu won’t blame you.”
“Haha.” Li Yunlong laughed heartily and said, “I’ll still try my best to make it happen. So Brother Yunfei can report to your superior.”
“Thanks, Brother Yunlong. Come, drink, drink.”
……
Li Yunlong drank and chatted happily with Chu Yunfei, eating very enjoyably.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Yunlong hurriedly said goodbye: “Brother Chu, we have matters at home, won’t stay longer.”
“No problem, Brother Yunlong, your matters are urgent. After you’re done, come to Chu’s side for food and drink again.” Chu Yunfei saw him off.
“Definitely, I will. It’s a deal. The food here is damn good!” Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly, left under Wei Dayong’s escort.
Watching Li Yunlong’s departing figure, Fang Ligong suspiciously said to Chu Yunfei: “Regimental Commander, are the Eighth Route Army really planning a big operation? Don’t they know the Japanese Invaders are mobilizing troops for a raid on them?”
“If the Eighth Route Army weren’t planning a big operation, would Li Yunlong run to so many friendly forces?” Chu Yunfei said pointedly, “This Li Yunlong is a guy who doesn’t know what danger is. If he says he’ll do it, he’ll definitely do it.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. Best if these Eighth Route Army end up burning themselves.” Fang Ligong said, “That would fulfill the principal’s wish.”
“Brother Ligong, Japanese Invaders haven’t retreated yet. Better say less of that in the future.” Chu Yunfei glanced at Fang Ligong. This chief of staff always talked politics in front of him, and Chu Yunfei disliked that topic most.
Japanese Invaders not beaten back yet, everyone muzzles pointed outward together now.
Japanese Invaders wiping out Eighth Route Army does us no good now.
“Yes, Regimental Commander.” Fang Ligong shut up, then asked: “Regimental Commander, do you think the Eighth Route Army will really sell us the cannon?”
“Nonsense, of course they will.” Chu Yunfei was very certain.
If no possibility, Li Yunlong wouldn’t budge.
Since Li Yunlong budged, there’s room for it.
“Buy their cannon, take it to the arsenal, then we can copy it.” Fang Ligong anticipated. Heavy firepower that mules can pull, Eighth Route Army’s miracle copied directly by us, haha.
“We’ll see.” Chu Yunfei said.
Logically, Eighth Route Army made heavy firepower under such harsh conditions.
Our arsenal has much better conditions. If we can’t copy it, that’d be a joke.
But Chu Yunfei had a premonition that this wouldn’t be that simple.
Whatever, just carry out superior’s order.
As for follow-up, later.
……
“Regiment Commander, not going back to regimental headquarters, to the arsenal?” Wei Dayong saw Li Yunlong heading to the arsenal, not regimental headquarters, so asked.
“Monk, didn’t you hear just now? Chu Yunfei wants to buy our big cannon. Can’t I sell?” Li Yunlong said.
Wei Dayong paused: “Regiment Commander, are you dumb? You really selling the cannon in our hands? Not afraid brigade commander beats you?”
Originally, Wei Dayong thought Li Yunlong was just being polite with Chu Yunfei.
Didn’t expect our regiment commander really plans to sell.
This is our Independent Regiment’s treasure. You really willing?
“Who said I’m selling my own cannon.” Li Yunlong waved his hand.
“Then whose? Regimental Commander Ding’s?” Wei Dayong was suspicious, “Probably Regimental Commander Ding won’t agree either.”
Don’t talk about Regimental Commander Ding, whoever has cannon won’t agree.
“How would I trick Old Ding.” Li Yunlong shook his head.
“Then whose cannon do you want to sell?”
“Division commander has four cannons. Selling one, shouldn’t be a problem.”
“What, Regiment Commander, you want to sell division commander’s cannon? Are you crazy!” Wei Dayong was shocked, nearly fell off his horse.
“That cannon was earned by me originally. I want to sell it, any problem!”
“Not afraid of angering division commander?”
“Won’t happen.”
