Long Lan was very reluctant, and after thinking about it, she felt that what Qi Rui said made sense, so she asked, "Then how much are you going to give?" ”

"It's enough for us to leave thirty tanks! Give the rest to Xue Yue! "Qi Rui has already calculated, thirty tanks are enough for his own side, in fact, this is a bit much, after all, it is not easy to get a lot of materials in this era.

"Give them sixteen! You're so generous! Long Lan was startled when she heard this,

"Thirty is not a lot! Upkeep, maintenance, and renovation all require money and people. Qi Rui is still very content, because he was still thinking about buying a few from the Germans, but now this money has been saved!

Zhang Lingfu and Huang Wei brought a lot of supplies, but when they went back, they brought sixteen tanks, which broke Xue Yue's coke, so he also went to Nanchang to hold a welcome party, and specially selected some smart and clever soldiers to let Qi Rui train.

In this way, Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying and other officers wanted to get closer to Qi Rui more, and even Lao Jiang was happy to bubble his nose when he heard about this, because Qi Rui's tanks were given to his descendants, which was equivalent to enhancing his strength.

When Lao Jiang heard that Qi Rui still had thirty tanks in his hands, he immediately wrote a letter of appointment, asking Dai Li to incorporate Qi Rui's troops, and gave Qi Rui the rank of lieutenant general and division commander for the sake of thirty tanks.

This letter of appointment was in Xue Yue's hands, but the officers here in Xue Yue basically knew that Qi Rui didn't want to join the fruit army, so no matter who they were, they didn't want to go, because they would offend Qi Rui if they didn't get it right.

Xue Yue also had an idea in his heart, he wanted to take this opportunity to test Qi Rui again, and he also knew that Lao Jiang had taken a fancy to Qi Rui's tank, but if the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade was really absorbed, it would definitely belong to the Ninth War Zone, which would definitely be beneficial and harmless to Xue Yue.

Xue Yue planned to go in person, but was stopped by Wang Yaowu, Luo Zhuoying, and Yu Jishi, and they all persuaded him not to go, because if Qi Rui was unhappy, it would be difficult to cooperate in the future.

When he was worried, Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater of Operations, arrived, and he also heard that his army had purchased 16 tanks before he came.

Chen Cheng, as the boss of the civil engineering department, also wanted to accept Qi Rui, so on a whim, he sent someone to invite Qi Rui to Nanchang to meet.

Qi Rui received Chen Cheng's invitation and his head hurt, he really didn't want to go, but he would cooperate in the future, and not going would make Chen Cheng think more, so he had to rush to Nanchang with a few people.

After the meeting, Chen Cheng personally put the letter of appointment in front of Qi Rui, with the rank of lieutenant general, and also allowed the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade to expand into a division, and also guaranteed that the military supplies would be in place immediately.

Chen Cheng thought that Qi Rui would gladly accept it, because after all, he was a lieutenant general as soon as he came up, which was rare, and Chen Cheng also had to apply for the Guoguang Medal for Qi Rui.

But Qi Rui didn't even look at the letter of appointment and refused: "Commander Chen!" I'm really sorry, I told you the generals before, I like to be free and don't like to be bound, and most of my people are bandits, and they don't want to! So I can only say thank you to the generals for your love, but this letter of appointment really can't be accepted! Please bear with me! ”

Chen Cheng's face immediately became difficult to look at, he thought that Qi Rui was embarrassed, Lao Jiang wrote the letter of appointment in his own hand, and he personally summoned him, Qi Rui didn't give any face at all.

Xue Yue saw that Chen Cheng was angry, and hurriedly said, "Commander! Qi Rui has indeed said to us more than once before, he is very willing to cooperate with us, but because they are used to being free and comfortable, they are not used to being constrained by rules and regulations, we will find a chance to talk about this matter in the future, today we have a rare get-together, or talk about cooperation in the future! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! In order to thank Brother Qi for his sixteen tanks, we will not get drunk today! Luo Zhuoying, one of the four King Kongs of the Department of Civil Engineering, also hurriedly said.

Seeing Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying and the others gave themselves a look, Chen Cheng had no choice but to endure this breath, smiled and said: "Brother Qi, in fact, you should think about it, if you join the fruit army, there are many benefits, at least your military supplies and even military salaries are guaranteed!" It's better than you doing it alone! ”

'Thank you, Commander Chen! I will definitely discuss it with my brothers again when I go back next time! Qi Rui said perfunctorily,

Lao Jiang's letter of appointment was written in vain, Chen Cheng was full of joy and disappointed, and at the banquet, Chen Cheng asked his subordinate Huang Wei to ask Qi Rui about the arrangements for the rest of the tanks.

Qi Rui knew their intentions, so he didn't take this stubble at all, but the nerd Huang Wei had a tendon in his brain, so he had to ask for an understanding, and forced Qi Rui to say loudly: "We don't have enough of the remaining thirty tanks ourselves!" So don't worry about it, everybody! If anyone mentions tanks to me again! After that, we didn't have to do it after that! ”

Xue Yue's face turned red and white for a while when he heard this, and Luo Zhuoying was the same, after all, Huang Wei was his subordinate officer!

"Commander Huang! What are you talking about with Brother Qi!? Luo Zhuoying asked with a dark face,

"I just want to ask Brother Qi how the thirty tanks are going to be arranged!"

"Brother Qi, how can I arrange to take care of your affairs! Drink your wine honestly! ”

"Yes!" Huang Wei glanced at Chen Cheng and hurriedly lowered his head,

"Everyone! There's so much more to do at home! I, Qi Rui, made these three glasses of wine to make amends! In the future, you will be able to fight wars with your words! As long as it's a devil, I'll be there! You don't have to look for me for anything else that doesn't matter! Qi Rui's words seemed to be directed at Chen Cheng,

After Qi Rui finished speaking, he raised his head and drank three glasses of wine, and then got up and left without looking back, Luo Nan, Li Maoshan, Xi Fengyuan, He Lan Bokun and Xiao Ting followed him closely.

Xue Yue and the others hurriedly chased after him, and gave Qi Rui compensation one by one: "Brother Qi!" Don't take it to heart! Don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else! Commander Chen, he doesn't understand you! ”

"Brother Xue stays! In the future, we will have a private friendship with each other! Don't mention it to me again! Qi Rui warned,

"Okay! Good brothers! If you need my brother's help in the future, just say! As long as I Xue Yue can do it, I will do my best! Xue Yue is still very willing to cooperate with Qi Rui, because he has never suffered a loss by cooperating with him.

Luo Zhuoying also hurriedly came up to make amends: "Brother Qi!" Huang Wei's brain is missing a string! Don't bother with him! ”

"Never! General Huang is also a famous anti-Japanese general! Qi respects all heroes who fight devils! I just wanted to warn those who are worried about my tank to believe this heart! ”
