My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 72 Brigadier: Commander, let’s negotiate a deal!
After receiving 20 tons of grain,
In fact, Commander Li was so shameless that he asked for some weapons and ammunition on the grounds of being a logistics supply center. He wanted grenades, bullets, mortars and artillery shells.

However, they were all rejected by the system because the requirements were unreasonable and violated the contract.

"20 tons." (I missed a two in the previous chapter)

Next to him, Zhao Gang sighed with emotion at the amount of food and silently shook his head.

A few days ago, it was still 20 tons per month, but now it is directly demanding [-] tons, which has suddenly increased dozens of times.

But it's a good thing for the base area.

Even 200 million tons is not too much.

Political Commissar Zhao just lamented that Boss Lu was so powerful.

This is the Jinzhong area.

The nearest coastline is only [-] kilometers away in a straight line, and the land railway line is [-] kilometers long, and they are all still in the hands of the Japanese. As for the railway lines in the north,

20 tons of grain were transported here quietly!

Is it possible that Boss Lu is more powerful than the little devil?
But why not beat the little devil yourself?

Are there any restrictions?

That's why we only cooperate with the independent regiment. Weapons and equipment have been restricted in scale, but food is freely provided.

···
The timeline goes back to the brigade commander at headquarters.

After getting a hundred old Red Army soldiers from the boss, the brigade commander felt that there were still not enough talents.

At present, the 772th Brigade has six main regiments, the 771nd Regiment, the 38st Regiment, the 57th Regiment, the [-]th Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the Independent Regiment, as well as two units directly under the brigade headquarters, including the artillery battalion and the cavalry battalion directly under the brigade headquarters.

There is also a brigade security company and a communications company.

As well as the new second regiment and the new third regiment that are being formed.

In his plan, excluding the independent regiment, the remaining five existing main regiments will be expanded to 500 men. Each regiment will have three infantry battalions of 520 men, a firepower company, and a transportation company. If conditions permit, , and form another cavalry company.

The new second regiment and the new third regiment that are being formed are also formed on this scale.

When all seven regiments are formed and combat effective, even if they are not independent regiments, he will have 21 in his hands, with twice the firepower of the Japanese infantry squadron, and a main battalion that can independently complete combat missions.

and,

The artillery battalion and cavalry battalion directly under the brigade headquarters also need to be expanded in size. The former has a total number of 500 people, and the latter can ideally reach 1000 people. As a mobile force directly under the brigade headquarters, there are currently not enough horses.

Although Li Yunlong had handed over 350 military horses before, it was far from enough.

Based on the calculation that each regiment has a cavalry company of 150 horses, a communications platoon of more than 50 horses, a cavalry battalion of 150 horses at the brigade headquarters, and a communications company of 600 horses, more than [-] horses are needed.

To replenish damage and loss, three thousand horses are required.

None of the three nearby Japanese regiments bordering the Taiyue Military Region had so many!
However, even if there are not so many cavalry units, once the seven main regiments are successfully formed, and the independent regiments are added, then they can really try to give the Shandao Regiment a serious blow.

However, with the 21 main battalions, six basic structures not yet established, and the Taiyue Military Region’s more than 5 militiamen needing to retain some experienced officers to organize and maintain training, he needs about two hundred experienced officers. Only the old Red Army will do.

One hundred more to go.

Li Yunlong, the person in charge of the Taiyue Military Region Logistics Station and the head of the independent regiment, gave him a budget of 20 tons of grain and [-] tons of suet.

He has used [-] tons of grain and [-] tons of lard.

The boss has always said that one hundred old Red Army soldiers are definitely the limit. If the price is increased, it is estimated that the price of these one hundred Old Red Army soldiers will be doubled on the spot.

So··
The brigade commander rolled his eyes and unconsciously slipped to the division headquarters.

In the early 40s, although the brigade headquarters and the division headquarters acted together, the division headquarters and the brigade headquarters were not together. The headquarters had an overview of the overall situation, and the division headquarters was mainly responsible for the Taihang Military Region.

"Teacher."

Arriving at the division headquarters, the brigade commander was smiling.

"What are you doing here?"

The division commander glanced at the pen gifted by Li Yunlong on the brigade commander's chest.

"Find a deal with the teacher."

The brigade commander rubbed his hands, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What business?"

The teacher's eyes lit up.

Even though he is from the division headquarters, this guy is just from the brigade headquarters, but his close subordinate Li Yunlong has a friend who is the God of Wealth, and with all the material support, the boss and even Yan'an are jealous, let alone him.

But there was no way, the God of Wealth only had contact with Li Yunlong.

So much so that some people suggested that the Independent Group and Li Yunlong be transferred over!
"You also know that I am organizing training for the militia troops over there."

The brigade commander laid the groundwork first.

"What a great move you made!"

The teacher sincerely praised him.

There are militia units not only in the Taiyue Military Region, but also in the north and south of the Taihang Military Region of the 129th Division, as well as in the base areas established by the 120th Division and the 115th Division. There are a large number of militiamen. Their combined number is more than that of the Japanese in North China.

It is one of the main means for the troops to consolidate their base areas.

However, due to lack of supplies and personnel, the current militia force is still very different from what was envisioned.

Insufficient training, almost no combat effectiveness, insufficient publicity for the revolution and the Anti-Japanese War, and even some militia units are controlled by some people with evil intentions. They can only find a problem to solve the problem, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

But the army really does not have the ability to solve the problem comprehensively.

Now the actions in the Taiyue area have taken off and serve as a good example. Once the results are good, other base areas can also learn from the methods of the Taiyue Military Region in the future.

And you can avoid a lot of detours.

That food and material management system has begun to be promoted throughout the army and all base areas, which has greatly improved the efficiency of material utilization and reduced waste.

"So, aren't you asking the teacher for help?"

The brigade commander chuckled.

"You boy..."

The teacher didn't think about anything else and said:
"What do you want?"

"Get me some old Reds."

The brigade commander stated his purpose.

"Old Red Army?" The division commander frowned:
"With more than 5 militia troops, your boy has obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment. The demand for qualified battalion and company-level officers and cadres is indeed great, but you also know that there are not many old Red Army troops, and everyone needs them."

The teacher is telling the truth.

The old Red Army they are talking about are not just soldiers who have come from the Red Army period, but talents who are qualified to serve as battalion-level officers and cadres, or to assist in the management and construction of land projects in a local area.

Not really much.

But every base area needs it.

"Five hundred tons of grain, 25 tons of lard each."

The brigade commander didn't hesitate and just offered the price.

If the boss comes now, let alone the old Red Army, he will not be able to save the remaining [-] tons of food.

It is still the price of 25 tons of staple food and [-] tons of lard.

The reason why he offered this price was because based on his understanding of the teacher and the boss, the two people usually doubled the price first and then slowly bargained.

"Five hundred tons of grain, 25 tons of lard!"

The teacher's reaction was the same as that of the boss. He swallowed his throat, disbelieving but eager to do so.

"Really?"

The teacher couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Hey hey..."

"Pay money with one hand, and hand over people with one hand."

The brigade commander chuckled:
"Moreover, they are all imported corn and white flour, which are highly dry and well packaged, making them suitable for long-term storage. The lard oil is also packaged in sealed tinplate."

"How many do you want?"

The teacher's frown deepened.

He wants food.

Five hundred tons each, I guess the price can be raised. If sold, no, if it supports dozens of 1 brigades, it will be more than [-] tons.

This year, the food gap in the entire Taihang base area has been met.

But there are really not many old Red Army soldiers!

"a hundred!"

The brigade commander stretched out his fingers.

"a hundred!"

The division commander rolled his eyes at the brigade commander's big mouth:

"You guys think I'm here in the Yan'an Border Area, and there are a hundred old Red Army soldiers here."

"You are a teacher, there must be a hundred of you."

Since the brigade commander dares to pay this price, he knows that the division commander can get it.

"If you can get one thousand tons of grain, then I will give you a hundred."

The division commander tried to double the price to get the brigade commander to negotiate a deal.

"make a deal!"

The brigade commander had been waiting for this moment.

"what?"

The teacher was dumbfounded.

"One hundred thousand tons of grain, five thousand tons of lard fat, in exchange for one hundred old Red Army soldiers, handing over the goods with one hand and delivering the goods with the other."

The brigadier decided immediately.

"hiss···"

The teacher took a breath of air and lamented the God of Wealth's methods behind Li Yunlong. At the same time, he nodded directly without any hesitation and said:
"Row."

"One-handed delivery, one-handed delivery."

Although getting rid of a hundred old Red Army soldiers will cause some damage to the division headquarters and the Taihang base area, with these [-] tons of grain and [-] tons of pork suet, not only will the materials be extremely rich, but also the resources will be greatly enriched. Improve the financial situation of the base area.

In these years of war and chaos, food is the real hard currency.

Not to mention meat fats like lard suet.

With sufficient supplies and good finances, we can increase talent training and absorb talents from other places. We will soon be able to make up for the losses of the [-]-year-old Red Army and advance to several levels.

This deal is worth it!
No, it should be earned through blood.

The two then discussed the specific grain transportation plan. After all, including packaging, the total weight exceeds 11 tons. Transportation of such huge materials is not a simple matter.

Even, it is a big problem.

Taiyue Military Region is quite a distance from the division headquarters.

One or two people are fine, but if there are more, it is easy to attract the attention of the Japanese. Once the Japanese discover that large quantities of food are being transported in the base area, they will either attack the base with troops or bomb them with planes.

In the end, the brigade commander had to adopt the transportation plan proposed by Li Yunlong.

···
After the brigade commander left.

The teacher's smile never stopped.

When he thought about getting [-] tons of grain and [-] tons of lard oil, the division commander felt that his steps were much thicker. He even felt that the Japanese prison blockade was not that troublesome.

Once you have food, you will naturally not panic.

"Ha ha··"

Suddenly, outside the division headquarters, the boss's hearty laughter could be heard.

The teacher's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't wait to tell the boss the good news.

"I have good news for you!"

"I have good news for you!"

The two said in unison.
