Yesterday I broke off.,I'm sorry.,And thank you lazy readers.,Nanyang Empire.,Jiangbian Zhizhi's reward,

At noon, a long convoy drove on the road leading to the port of Balangka, and in front of the procession, Sun Bin and Zhao Yan rode on horses, ready to go to the port to receive weapons.

"Congratulations to Brother Sun on his ascension," Zhao Yan rode on his horse and smiled at Sun Bin.

After Sun Bin was promoted to the director of logistics, he contacted the local natives through the descendants of Peruvian Chinese, and searched for 6,000 alpacas within a week, exceeding the task assigned by Li Mingyuan.

Therefore, he was praised by Li Mingyuan, and promoted him to be the deputy chief of staff and the director of logistics, and Sun Bin stepped into the core and senior of the Chinese Independence Army.

Before Sun Bin was promoted to deputy chief of staff, there was only one chief of general staff in the General Staff Headquarters, Liu Pu, and most of the posts of deputy chief of staff and subordinate division chiefs were vacant, while the affairs of the staff headquarters were handled by the deputy commanders of various departments.

In the initial period of the army, there was a shortage of talents, and at this time, people with insufficient ability were raised to high positions, which was prone to problems.

Therefore, Li Mingyuan adopted the method of preferring shortage to indiscriminate use, lowering the few civilian positions in the army, and waiting for them to make achievements in the deputy positions before being promoted.

As a result, the officers in the staff have room to rise, and they have become more cautious and conscientious in their work, thus reducing the number of incidents in which the operation of the troops goes wrong.

"Brother Zhao is polite, I just completed the task by luck, and I was mistakenly loved by the prince to become the deputy chief of staff." Sun Bin said modestly.

"Brother Sun is too modest, and everyone can see your performance in the General Staff, so the position of Deputy Chief of Staff should be held by Brother Sun."

During the feudal period, the imperial court paid attention to the appearance of officials, and it is said that Sun Bin was lame and it was unlikely that he would serve as an official, but the Chinese Independent Army was newly established and there were not so many rules, so after a preliminary investigation, Liu Pu transferred him to assist him in his work.

Sun Bin cherished the hard-won opportunity, conscientiously assisted Liu Pu in managing the logistics of the Chinese Independent Army, completed the work at hand very well, won Liu Pu's favor, promoted him step by step, and finally entered Li Mingyuan's eyes, so that he has today's position.

"Hehe, don't talk about me, how is the work of Brother Zhao's subordinates?"

Zhao Yan's burden is also not light, drug procurement, Lang Zhong management, and food allocation are in charge of him.

These days, Zhao Yan is also busy with his feet not landing, so when he heard Sun Bin ask about work, he said with a wry smile, "The problem of food is easy to handle, the grain from the occupied area has been shipped to Arequipa City, but it took a lot of effort to make up enough quantities for medicine and Langzhong." ”

"Tell me about the specifics."

"The troops had to pass through sweltering forest areas during their transfer, so there were many drugs for the control of tropical pests and diseases on the list of medicines procured.

In order to complete the task, I not only visited merchants from various European countries one by one, but also personally collected medicines to meet the demand for medicines. ”

Zhao Yan said and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his scarred right arm, and said bitterly, "These scars were all dropped to collect cinchona." ”

"Tropical forest areas are prone to all kinds of diseases, and an abundant supply of medicines and medicines is very important for the troops to reach their destination safely, so, Brother Zhao, purchasing medicines is a big deal, and it is appropriate to suffer a little."

"Hehe, I understand what Brother Sun said, it's not that I just said this in front of you, when I really do practical things, I'm not sloppy."

Zhao Yan smiled and quipped, "For the sake of my hard work in collecting medicine on the mountain, Brother Sun won't treat me?" ”

"Okay, after I'm done with the weapons received, I'll treat you to a drink in the evening."

When Sun Bin was promoted to deputy chief of staff, Zhao Yan was also promoted to the head of the Military Affairs Department, and the gap between the two was not very big, so they still got along well as when they cooperated before, and there was no obvious difference between the top and bottom.

"Brother Zhao, as far as I know, there are not many people among the Chinese who can heal, how did you manage to get enough of them?"

After discussing the matter of dinner in the evening, Sun Bin asked.

"There are only twenty-seven Chinese who know how to do medicine, and the prince asked me to make up enough for a hundred Langzhong, this problem is really difficult to handle, but the prince gave an order, no matter how difficult it is, I must do it well, so I selected more than twenty military doctors from the captured Peruvian army, and then searched the occupied area, until yesterday, I had enough to gather a hundred people."

The Chinese Independence Army (CIA) was highly disciplined and did nothing to the ordinary Peruvian people in the occupied areas, but for urgently needed doctors and other talents, whether they wanted it or not, they would take them to the army and leave with the troops.

Sun Bin nodded in agreement with Zhao Yan's approach, the importance of military doctors to the army is obvious, although Zhao Yan's approach is a bit simple and crude, but it is also suitable for the current situation of the Chinese Independence Army.

chatting all the way, the two arrived at the port of Balangka, and on the sea, dozens of ships were parked in the port, and boxes of weapons and ammunition were being transported down from the ships.

"Brother Sun, we came a little early, and they haven't finished unloading the weapons yet." Zhao Yan held a horsewhip and pointed to the busy Prussian sailor in the harbor.

"The other troops are still waiting to be equipped with new weapons, so let's not waste time and let the brothers in the back help them transport the weapons."

"Okay, I understand," Zhao Yan glanced around the harbor on horseback, and found that the Prussian business representative was talking to a middle-aged white man in military uniform,

"Brother Sun, the Prussian commercial representative is there, and we will directly consult with him about the transportation of weapons." Zhao Yan pointed at Hoffman and the middle-aged white man.

"Hmm," Sun Bin replied, dismounted and walked over there.

"Hello, Mr. Hoffman, I am the person in charge of handing over weapons to you, and this is my deputy." When Sun Bin and Zhao Yan walked up to Hoffman, he was still talking to the middle-aged white officer, not noticing the arrival of the two.

"Oh, Sun, Zhao, it's nice to see you again." Hearing the voice, Hoffman turned around and saw Sun Bin and Zhao Yan, and recognized them as the two people who had talked to him about arms trading last time. Hence the enthusiasm.

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Hoffman," Sun Bin said with a smile as he shook Hoffman's hand.

"Who is this gentleman?" After greeting Hoffman, Sun Bin looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce you, this is Mr. West, Captain of the Prussian Navy."

"Hello, Your Excellency Colonel." Sun Bin took the initiative to reach out his hand.

"Last time we worked together, do you remember?" West spoke.

"I remember that you were the commander of the Prussian fleet with whom we first traded." Sun Bin said suddenly.

"Haha, this is our second collaboration."

"Yes, thank you for trading weapons with us." The first time he traded weapons with the Prussians, he provided the Chinese workers with weapons for expansion, and if there were no weapons, the Chinese Independence Army would not have the current scale, so Sun Bin still had a good impression of West, who sold weapons to the Chinese Independence Army.

"No, you trade money and mines for weapons, don't thank us." West shook his head.

"This foreign devil can't even hear kind words, and he is still a barbarian." Sun Bin said with contempt in his heart, but the smile on his face was the same: Mr. Hoffman, Colonel West, I want my soldiers to help you carry weapons, is it okay?

"Thank you very much for your kindness." Hoffman simply accepted Sun Bin's kindness and sent one of his men to lead the Chinese soldiers to carry the weapons.

"Mr. Sun, I'm curious that you can defeat tens of thousands of Peruvian regular troops with a group of laborers, how did you do it?" When West came to trade, he heard Hoffman talk about the expansion process of the Chinese, so he asked curiously.

"Hehe, we defeated the Peruvians under the leadership of the son, who is a great leader, and under the leadership of the son, we have never failed." Sun Bin said with a smile on his face, an expression of adoration on his face.

"Your son is a wise and wise general, and I want to meet him." West said seriously.

Prussia had a strong military atmosphere, and West admired a general who led his subordinates to victory in the face of adversity.

"If the Colonel wants to see the Prince, I can introduce him to the Colonel." Before Sun Bin came, Li Mingyuan told him to have good relations with the Prussians, because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still many aspects that needed to cooperate with Prussia.

"That's all right, after the arms deal is completed, you and I will go to see your son."

"It's a deal." ……
