After leaving the hospital, Li Hong did not return to the security regiment, but went to the military office building where Wei Boru temporarily worked.

Before, Wei Boru came to visit the hospital and said that Li Hong would report to him first if he was injured.

Led by a female officer, he strode to Wei Boru's office.

Li Hong stood at the door, straightened the military uniform on his body, and then knocked on the door of Wei Boru's office.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

There was a loud voice from inside the office.

Pushing the door and walking into the office, Wei Boru and Chen Tingxiao were sitting on the side of the coffee table, and the two were fighting and playing Go face to face.

"Hello Chief Chen, hello Chief Wei!" Li Hongli saluted the two of them.

When he came in, he paid special attention to Chen Tingxiao's collar rank and found that the other party had been promoted.

Wei Boru glanced up at Li Hong, who was tall, and then withdrew his gaze, he held the chess pieces in his hand, and stared intently at the chessboard.

"Li Hong, you sit down and wait for a while, this game of chess between me and Ting Xiao will be decided immediately......"

Li Hong glanced at the black and white moves of both sides on the chessboard, and his brain was calculating the next moves of both sides.

Judging from the trend of the two of them on the chessboard, Wei Boru would have lost in a few minutes.

Receiving the water from the orderly, he sat quietly and waited, aimlessly sweeping the office.

After about five minutes, the game of Go between the two was over.

"Brother Boru, your chess skills have regressed, hahaha!"

Chen Tingxiao took a sip of tea with a smile, and a victor's smile appeared on his face.

"Tingxiao, let me tell you that this game doesn't count, if it weren't for Li Hong's kid coming in just now and distracting me, how could I lose to you, and we'll play another game later......"

Wei Boru was unwilling to admit defeat, his old face turned red, and he actually attributed the reason for his loss to Li Hong.

Li Hongzhen didn't expect that a high-ranking general would also play a scoundrel when playing chess.

He smiled helplessly, there was no way, both of them were chiefs, so he could only be the back of his subordinates.

Immediately, Wei Boru walked back to the desk, he took out a document in his hand and handed it to Li Hong.

Li Hong opened the document, which contained a commendation order and the names of several troops.

"Li Hong, these brigades are all good troops, and the soldiers are complete, can you pick a brigade to take with you?"

Wei Boru didn't deliberately hold any commendation and promotion meetings, he directly asked Li Hong which unit he wanted to go to, which was simple and clear, and there was no superfluous nonsense.

Li Hong is not a fool who is flattered by a casual official, these troops are indeed elite Central Army troops, but there is one thing, these troops are not independent troops.

If he accepts the appointment now, he will be subject to the constraints of others, and he will have to consult his commander for any future troop movements and any military operations, and besides, there will be division commanders and army commanders and various commanders above.

If Li Hong is allowed to serve in Chen Changjie's army, then he is quite willing, the key is that all good things cannot be his turn.

"Chief Wei, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, but Li Hong's ability is limited, and he really can't lead these troops, so I'll continue to take my security regiment."

Li Hong politely declined the appointment, in fact, he had a grand plan in mind.

This is because he wants to establish an anti-Japanese base area on his own, so that the military strength of the security regiment can be freely expanded, and it is not a problem to expand ten or eight battalions.

"It's a strange thing, it's the first time I've met an officer who doesn't want to be a general." Wei Boru looked at Li Hong strangely, not knowing what the other party was thinking.

Chen Tingxiao looked at Li Hong, and he seemed to guess what Li Hong was thinking.

Suddenly, he smiled and said to Wei Boru: "Brother Boru, since Regiment Commander Li doesn't look down on the small appointment letter, then he must have other lofty ambitions. ”

At this point, Li Hong didn't beat around the bush, and simply told his plan in full.

"Report to the chief of the guard, I want to establish an anti-Japanese base area!"

"Li Hong, you are too presumptuous, you still want to establish an anti-Japanese base area?"

Wei Boru scolded Li Hong, his face suddenly changed, and his expression was a little annoyed.

If other main combat regiments wanted to establish an anti-Japanese base area, Wei Boru would definitely agree.

However, Li Hong's military talent is unfathomable, and people with ability are generally ambitious.

If he nodded and promised Li Hong to establish an anti-Japanese base and let it expand, what if Li Hong's wings hardened in the future and he couldn't control this army?

"Chief Wei, if you don't agree, you will continue to go back with the security team." Li Hong said again, facing Wei Boru without fear.

At this time, Chen Tingxiao walked next to Wei Boru and said a few words in his ear.

After listening to Chen Tingxiao's words, Wei Boru's expression softened.

There was another reason why Li Hong did not accept the appointment, because Wei Boru could only nod his head to establish an anti-Japanese base at the regimental level, and if it was at or above the brigade level, it could only be decided after a high-level military meeting passed it.

After careful consideration for a moment, Wei Boru agreed to Li Hong's request.

"Chief Xie Wei!" Li Hong kicked the ground under his feet and raised his hands in salute.

"Don't thank me, it's Tingxiao who speaks for you."

"Thank you, Sir Chen."

At this time, Li Hong was so happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Li Hong, you still have the courage and strategic vision, you can boldly and confidently do it when you establish an anti-Japanese base area." Chen Tingxiao patted Li Hong's shoulder, with a satisfied smile on his face that his father-in-law looked at his son-in-law.

Chen Tingxiao was promoted to the rank not long ago, and he also concurrently held an important position in the Shanxi General Ordnance Industry Administration.

If there was no Nicholas Chen on the side to say good things today, Wei Boru might not be able to agree to Li Hong's request.

"Li Hong, I, Wei Boru, have always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, so let's ask the Logistics Quartermaster Department to replenish military supplies for your security regiment according to the brigade-level standard." After speaking, Wei Boru took out a pen and paper and opened a note for Li Hong.

"Thank you, two chiefs, for cultivating."

Li Hongbi saluted respectfully, turned around and walked out of Wei Boru's office to return to the security group.

After Li Hong walked for a while, Chen Tingxiao and Wei Boru returned to the coffee table and sat down.

"Tingxiao, this Li Hong's ability is not small, and his ambition is not small, now there is no rope to trap him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control in the future." Wei Boru took the chess pieces and said with some concern.

"Brother Boru, you are too worried, Li Hong is ambitious, but there is no doubt about employing people, no need for suspicious people, besides, with Chen Lin staying by Li Hong's side, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Tingxiao, you can really be an old fox, you even planted a spy!"

"Hahaha!"

The two of them smiled cunningly, and began to play with chess pieces in their hands......
