Chapter 8: I’m Dying Of Laughter
Independent Regiment Regimental Headquarters
Independent Regiment’s Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan and Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao heard that thirty crates of grenades had been sent from the arsenal, so the two immediately ran to Li Yunlong to ask for the grenades.
Shen Quan patted his chest in front of Li Yunlong and guaranteed: “Regiment Commander, give me these thirty crates of grenades, and I guarantee I’ll bring back more family fortune for you.”
Wang Huaibao was not to be outdone: “Regiment Commander, when it comes to using grenades, our third battalion has the most say, Wang Gensheng is one of our third battalion’s men, Regiment Commander, this kid throws grenades accurately, our third battalion can’t be without grenades.”
Shen Quan grumbled on the side: “Even if Wang Gensheng throws grenades accurately, he alone can’t use thirty crates of grenades.”
“I plan to have him teach some people, can’t I?” Wang Huaiyuan retorted.
“If grenade throwing is that easy to teach, our second battalion would have long ago…” Shen Quan’s words were not finished.
Li Yunlong interrupted: “Enough, enough, all shut up for me, thirty crates of grenades, first battalion, second battalion, third battalion, each battalion gets ten crates, that’s it…”
Li Yunlong’s words were not finished when someone hurriedly ran over to report: “Report Regiment Commander, Minister Zhang from logistics is coming over aggressively with the guard detachment.”
Zhang Wanhe is coming over with the guard detachment?
Shen Quan couldn’t help but say upon hearing this: “Regiment Commander, this Minister Zhang isn’t coming to take back the thirty crates of grenades, is he?”
Wang Huaibao also said: “Regiment Commander, Minister Zhang even brought the guard detachment, isn’t that a bit excessive, just thirty crates of grenades, does Minister Zhang really need such a big show?”
Li Yunlong scowled: “Hmph, since these thirty crates of grenades have entered our mouths, even the king of heaven can’t take them from me.”
Li Yunlong’s expression was so fierce, but when he walked out of regimental headquarters and saw the aggressive Zhang Wanhe, he switched to a smiling demeanor: “Old Zhang, why are you rushing over so frantically, who pissed you off? Tell me, I’ll help you vent…”
“Li Yunlong, I ask you, have you seen Li Muzhi from the arsenal?” Zhang Wanhe, as if he had eaten gunpowder, directly ignored Li Yunlong’s smile and asked bluntly.
It was as if Li Yunlong had ordered the arsenal to stop production.
Hearing Zhang Wanhe open his mouth asking for Li Muzhi instead of demanding the grenades from him, Li Yunlong still breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Zhang Wanhe wasn’t here for these thirty crates of grenades, but this Li Muzhi had caused him some trouble.
So, Li Yunlong still curiously asked: “Minister Zhang, how did this Li Muzhi piss you off?”
“Li Yunlong, don’t waste my time, I ask you, have you seen Li Muzhi?” Zhang Wanhe asked irritably.
Li Muzhi is from headquarters logistics, and he arbitrarily stopped the arsenal’s production, this was after all logistics making a joke.
Although Zhang Wanhe was emotionally angry, he still knew not to air dirty laundry in public, logistics still needed face.
“He said he made a cannon, to test it on the enemy’s gun tower, so I had my subordinate First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao take a battalion to go with him.” Li Yunlong explained.
“Did you see the cannon he made?” Hearing Li Yunlong say Li Muzhi made a cannon and even took a battalion with him, Zhang Wanhe couldn’t help but pause, could it be the guard was telling the truth?
But what that pile of junk at the arsenal was, Zhang Wanhe knew clearly, let alone making a cannon, even making cannon slag was impossible.
“Old Zhang, don’t you know what strength your arsenal has?” Li Yunlong couldn’t help but want to laugh again.
You Old Zhang really dare to think, Border Region Arsenal made a cannon, hahaha, hilarious.
Li Yunlong could guarantee that soon the whole army would spread this joke.
Zhang Wanhe saw Li Yunlong’s barely suppressed amused expression, his face burning hot.
Damn it, logistics’ joke really couldn’t be covered up.
This damn Li Muzhi, when he was deputy factory director before, he worked diligently and honestly, that’s why I promoted him to factory director.
Who would have thought he’d cause such a big joke, even the combat troops knew.
Really embarrassing.
Zhang Wanhe quickly suppressed his inner shame and anger, and asked Li Yunlong: “Where did your first battalion commander take Li Muzhi?”
“This I really don’t know.” Li Yunlong shook his head.
After all, choosing what target required Zhang Dabiao to select.
“Regimental Commander Li, please don’t joke with me!” Zhang Wanhe’s face darkened.
You sent out a battalion, and you as regiment commander say you don’t know where this battalion went, isn’t that nonsense!
“Minister Zhang, I really don’t know…” Li Yunlong’s words were not finished.
The communications soldier sent by Zhang Dabiao came running back panting, reporting to Li Yunlong: “Regiment Commander, the battalion commander told me to inform you, the cannon from the arsenal fired, one shot took out three gun towers at Sunjiabao!”
The arsenal’s cannon fired?
One shot took out three gun towers at Sunjiabao!!!
Li Yunlong and Zhang Wanhe upon hearing this, the air immediately went quiet.
Before Zhang Wanhe could speak, Li Yunlong cursed first: “Little Yue, you’re spreading false intelligence, believe it or not I’ll shoot you!”
First, Li Yunlong fundamentally didn’t believe the arsenal could make a cannon.
Second.
Even if your arsenal could make a cannon and it fired, at most you’d bombard one gun tower, and that would be wishful thinking.
One shot taking out three gun towers, even if you’re blowing for the arsenal, you didn’t even draft it in advance.
Zhang Wanhe’s face looked even worse, glaring at Li Yunlong: “Li Yunlong, did you deliberately arrange someone to make a joke of me!”
Clearly, Zhang Wanhe misunderstood.
Thinking this communications soldier sent back by Zhang Dabiao was pre-arranged by Li Yunlong, and these words were prepared in advance.
“Old Zhang, what’s in it for me to arrange someone to make a joke of you?” Li Yunlong said to Zhang Wanhe, “Do you think I’m idle all day?”
“Then why is your man talking such nonsense!” Zhang Wanhe still didn’t believe, pointing.
Li Yunlong’s gaze fell back on the communications soldier’s face, tone serious: “Little Yue, you should know our army’s discipline, spreading false intelligence means execution by firing squad.”
“Regiment Commander, I swear I didn’t spread false intelligence.” The communications soldier said solemnly, “We all thought the arsenal’s cannon wouldn’t fire, who knew it really did, unbelievable, Regiment Commander, the arsenal struggles even to make bullets, yet they made a cannon, our arsenal is truly amazing…”
“Shut your mouth!” Li Yunlong flew into a rage, interrupting the communications soldier, “I’ve emphasized our army’s discipline to you so many times, do you really think I won’t shoot you!”
The guards and captains who came with Zhang Wanhe saw the communications soldier’s tone consistent without any change.
They couldn’t hold back anymore, and quickly stepped forward to say to Li Yunlong: “Regimental Commander Li, please calm down, we believe your man isn’t lying!”
