Chapter 58: Li Yunlong is even a boss?
"Bandits! They are all bandits!"
Li Yunlong hung up the phone angrily, his words full of helplessness.
"You also say that I, Li Yunlong, am a bandit. I don't think the people above are any better than me. Are you leaving me here one by one to collect wool?"
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Zhao Gang walked in with a smile.
"Lao Li, I heard it just now from outside the door, please stop complaining about this!"
"According to the rules of our Eighth Route Army, all captured trophies must be handed over and then distributed to various units by superiors. The boss called us personally this time, which is already a great honor to us!"
Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and said with an unconvinced look: "I'm confused as to why this is breaking the rules. The boss said it himself back then, let us make the equipment ourselves and build the team ourselves."
"Now is the time. I, Li Yunlong, have just made some money, and the boss comes to pick me up? I just order three melons and two dates, and give them a bunch, and there is only one date core left!"
Zhao Gang was speechless for a while. If you, Li Yunlong, still have three melons and two jujubes, wouldn't the other troops be just rotten fish and shrimps?
But after a second thought, I can understand Li Yunlong.
It is said that war feeds war. Li Yunlong has so much equipment now because of the fighting between Li Yunlong and the brothers of the New Regiment. The help from the headquarters is really very little. It is really inappropriate for the boss to do this.
!
Zhao Gang sighed and looked up at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, what should we do now? The boss has come here in person, can we still withhold these weapons and equipment?"
Li Yunlong's eyes were slightly narrowed, with a shrewd look flashing in his eyes: "Here, if you don't give it to the boss, why are you going to trouble me every day?"
"However, I, Li Yunlong, never do business at a loss, and the same goes for my boss!"
Zhao Gang was startled and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Old Li, don't act recklessly. We are the Eighth Route Army, not heroes. Don't act out of anger!"
Li Yunlong curled his lips and was speechless for a while: "Old Zhao, can we still have a good chat? You don't think I intend to be detrimental to the boss, do you? I just want to trick the boss!"
"Later you sort out the equipment we captured, especially the little devil's equipment. We need to find it separately. Then let Zhang Wan find a time to bring it back to the arsenal to melt it and produce more new weapons!"
When Zhao Gang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Li Yunlong very well. If a stingy man took equipment from him, it would be the same as killing him.
Coupled with Li Yunlong's temper, if he can't help it, he might be able to do something outrageous!
...
That afternoon, the boss rode his tall horse and led the security company to Li Yunlong's station.
"Comrade, this is the headquarters of the New Regiment. No one is allowed to enter without the permission of our regiment leader!"
The guard at the gate of the military camp was just a new recruit and did not know the boss, so he stopped the boss as soon as he arrived.
The boss laughed, turned to look at the guard beside him and said: "Don't tell me, Li Yunlong is really good at leading troops. Although he is usually a little careless, the defense of this small barren mountain is quite good. As expected of him.
The soldiers I brought out!"
The guard nodded and smiled: "What you said is true, but it seems that many people in his army don't know you. You have to let him know you, otherwise you will be as embarrassed as today next time!"
The boss nodded, then looked at the soldier: "Little comrade, you must be new here, I am the boss of the Eighth Route Army, I came to see your commander for something!"
The soldier was confused. Today was his first day on guard duty. Unexpectedly, he met the boss of the Eighth Route Army directly, which made him immediately nervous.
"Old...Boss! I'm sorry, it's my first day on guard duty today. I'll go and notify our team leader, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, the soldier immediately ran towards Li Yunlong's house.
The guard smiled helplessly and said: "Boss, your title is so big that it's a bit scary. Look at it, it scares people!"
The boss glared at him: "What can I do? If I tell him my name, he still doesn't recognize me?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go in and take a look!"
The guard was stunned: "Aren't you waiting for Li Yunlong?"
"Wait a minute and let him come to me on his own!"
After the boss finished speaking, he waved the rope and walked straight towards Li Yunlong's station.
The boss and his party walked along the station and saw many soldiers on the road, but they did not stop. They also wanted to see what this small barren mountain would look like under Li Yunlong's management.
After a while, the guard looked at the boss with some confusion: "Boss, I just saw it. The soldiers in this new regiment seem to be using weapons produced by our arsenal."
"Even if there are weapons from the little devils occasionally, they are old and out of shape. Several of the guns have even worn out the rifling!"
The boss snorted coldly: "This is not the devil caused by Li Yunlong. This kid is just a fool. He knew that we came here to ask him for weapons this time, so he deliberately let his soldiers use these weapons. To put it bluntly, this kid just didn't want to give them.
!”
The guard suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "So that's it. I'm afraid only Li Yunlong can do this!"
At this moment, Li Yunlong hurried over with Zhao Gang.
"Hahaha, boss, it turns out you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time. If I had known you were coming, I would have greeted you at the door and then taken you to visit our new regiment station!"
As he spoke, Li Yunlong pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Zhao Gang's mouth twitched as he watched, and he secretly complained: Just now the soldier reported that the boss was here, you clearly said there was no rush, and you wanted the boss to bask in the sun for a while, and now you act like this, it's really a Sichuan Opera show.
?
The boss dismounted and looked at Li Yunlong, snorting coldly: "Okay, you kid, don't act in front of me. You don't have a drop of sweat on your head. You clearly walked over slowly. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
"Let me ask you, where are the equipment you captured? Where are they hidden?"
Li Yunlong spread his hands, as if he was a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water.
"Equipment? The equipment has been divided!"
The boss was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became furious: "Did it get divided? Who did it all get distributed to?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "All are distributed to the militia. This is your order, boss!"
"Did you say before that as long as you join the Eighth Route Army, we will all be brothers and help each other?"
"The militiamen near Xiaohuangshan were poorly equipped and could not defeat the enemy at all, so I distributed all the captured equipment to them. You don't need to praise me for this. This is what I should do!"
"You..." The boss was choked by Li Yunlong's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Li Yunlong, are you kidding me? I just made a phone call this morning and asked you to prepare the equipment for me, and now you tell me that all the equipment has been given to the militia? How about I punish you too?
"
Li Yunlong waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no! Boss, I was just joking with you!"
"Isn't it just equipment? I'll give you ten heavy machine guns, fifteen light machine guns, five mortars, five grenade launchers, eight hundred and thirty-eight guns, and how much ammunition, what do you think?
"
The boss nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: When talking to Li Yunlong, it's better not to beat around the bush. This kid has too many tricks. If you don't give him something hard, he won't know how to feel!
Just when the boss was about to ask his guards to get the equipment, Li Yunlong suddenly said: "Boss, there is no problem in equipping you, but these equipments were obtained by our brothers through bloody battles."
"If you just take it away, how can I explain it to my brothers?"
"We can't say that our Eighth Route Army boss is interested in the equipment of our new regiment. Let us hand over all the captured equipment. This will easily hurt the hearts of the brothers!"
As he said that, Li Yunlong also acted like he was thinking about you.
The boss was stunned, and after a moment he laughed: "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I know you are not willing to accept your fate like this!"
"If I want your equipment, it's impossible for me to give you some blood. Don't hide it, tell me your conditions!"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said coquettishly: "Boss, actually I have no other conditions. I just want your approval. I plan to build a cavalry company!"
The boss was stunned. He knew that Li Yunlong's conditions would definitely be a bit excessive, but he didn't expect that Li Yunlong would put forward such conditions.
In this era, the number of each regiment needs to be reported for easy management, especially the cavalry unit. This is not only related to personnel issues, but also horses.
Without approval from the headquarters, private establishment of a cavalry platoon, let alone a cavalry company, is not allowed.
The boss looked at Li Yunlong with an unhappy look on his face: "You want to build a cavalry company as a regiment leader? Do I have to build a cavalry regiment?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Given your status as boss, it is not too much to recruit a cavalry division!"
"The reason why we want to build a cavalry company is to fight the Japs. Xiaohuangshan is the main route for the Japs to attack. There are many Japs and puppet army strongholds around. With the cavalry company, we can raid these strongholds hundreds of miles away and rob them when the time comes.
Equipment can also improve the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army!"
The boss laughed loudly: "I thought you were so enlightened. It turns out that the purpose of forming a cavalry company is to rob things! As long as you don't rob the people, I will approve it!"
Li Yunlong was overjoyed and thanked him profusely: "Thank you, boss. Don't worry, boss. In the future, I, Li Yunlong, will steal the Japanese and puppet army equipment and hand it over to the headquarters as soon as possible!"
The boss waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you just want to talk nice, hurry up and take my security company to get the equipment!"
Li Yunlong nodded, turned to look at Zhao Gang and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, just go out and show them the way!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong did not forget to wink at Zhao Gang!
Zhao Gang showed a bitter smile, turned around and led the boss's guard company towards the place where they placed their weapons and equipment.
An hour later, the boss’s guards came back with equipment, their faces full of helplessness!
The boss asked with some confusion: "Why do you have this expression? Are Li Yunlong and the others making things difficult for you?"
A guard shook his head and said helplessly: "Boss, we have all been fooled by Li Yunlong!"
The boss was stunned, looked at the weapons behind the guard company, and asked: "Did you get tricked? Didn't you get all the weapons? Are these all old weapons?"
The guard sighed: "Boss, Li Yunlong is too stingy. Although he promised us a lot, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to what he has in the warehouse."
"Even if these equipments are given, there will be no loss to them at all!"
"In addition to weapons and equipment, in their warehouse, there are mountains of food, not to mention ammunition, and there are even several trucks!"
"What?" The boss's eyes widened in shock.
Chapter completed!
