In the eyes of many people, Zhao Tiehu, who has just completed his promotion and follow-up repair, as long as he continues to develop in the army, I believe that he will have a very bright future in the party and the army in the future. But why did you suddenly make this choice?

In fact, only Zhao Tiehu himself knew in his heart that the temper formed by being a mercenary in his previous life, coupled with his own unruly character. In this era of troops, it must be a matter of time before they make mistakes.

This experience in Yan'an made Zhao Tiehu truly realize that the greater the position, the greater the responsibility. The most important thing is that as long as he wears the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, he must obey the orders of his superiors in some things.

This also means that if the troops want to punish him or deal with him more harshly in the future, Zhao Tiehu still can't make a move to resist. As for his worries about the future, it is better to go it alone now and truly control his own destiny.

After making this decision, Zhao Tiehu also had an in-depth conversation with Luo Rong. At the same time, he also wrote a handwritten letter and entrusted Luo Rong to personally hand over the letter to the committee members when he returned to Yan'an in the future.

In the letter, Zhao Tiehu also explained his decision. But in order to avoid misunderstandings and troubles, Zhao Tiehu took the initiative to invite Luo Rong to personally lead someone to take over the supplies of the troops and the task force.

As for Zhao Tiehu's words, he will not take away the things of the troops. But the only condition is that the officers and soldiers in the task force who are willing to go with him must also be unconditionally allowed to go. From now on, Zhao Tiehu will no longer accept anyone's orders and commands.

But one thing Zhao Tiehu knew very well was that he would not be a traitor, nor would he accept the solicitation of the Zhongyan army or the Japanese army. To be precise, if the Zhongyan Army dares to provoke him in the future, Zhao Tiehu will also unceremoniously counterattack.

In short, Zhao Tiehu wanted to form a mercenary army composed of elite veterans, specializing in fighting the anti-Japanese forces of the little devils. Of course, from now on, this army will only obey Zhao Tiehu's orders.

And Zhao Tiehu will provide weapons, ammunition and even military salaries for the soldiers who participate in the army, and if conditions are available in the future, he will also give these people a better future. He did this in the hope of untying himself.

From now on, it is impossible for the little devil to carry out any political persecution against him. It is even possible that in the future, where there are little devils, Zhao Tiehu and his troops will appear.

Hearing Zhao Tiehu say such a thing, Song Dabao, who participated in the meeting, was also surprised and confused: "Detachment leader, you won't be joking, right?" You're gone, what about the troops? What are we going to do? ”

Regarding Song Dabao's worries and puzzlement, Zhao Tiehu also said sincerely: "Dabao, you are now the deputy head of the detachment, and you are also an anti-Japanese fighter trusted by our party and our army. As for your question, I believe that the Luo Political Committee has given proof of it.

As for my departure, that's just my personal choice, and it has nothing to do with you. Again, those who are willing to go with me, I welcome. But I hope you are prepared to endure hardships and even give your lives, because the future battles are bound to be very hard.

If you are willing to stay, I also sincerely wish you a better future and future in the army. The fact that the task force is here today is also inseparable from your efforts. On this point, I am sure that the higher heads are aware. ”

After saying this, Zhao Tiehu also motioned to Luo Rong to say a few words. Anyway, it was his own choice for Zhao Tiehu to leave. But Zhao Tiehu also didn't want to see the task force fall apart because of his departure.

For this reason, Luo Rong also answered at the right time: "Comrades, Comrade Tiehu made this decision, although I am very opposed and even angry. But this is his personal choice, and I don't want to force it too much, and I hope that he will not live up to the expectations of the people.

As for the situation of the comrades, Comrade Tiehu also told me earlier. You are you, he is him, and we will not generalize. Your contributions to the army are known to the higher leaders, and they will not erase your credit.

Just about this matter, I still hope that the comrades will keep this secret and not spread the news. You should all know that Comrade Tiehu is my old subordinate, and I actually regret his decision! ”

understands that Zhao Tiehu will make a decision like today, which is directly related to his political trial in Yan'an. In fact, for many veterans who came from the Soviet area, they were only afraid of leaving a shadow in their hearts.

Fortunately, after Luo Rong heard the reason for Zhao Tiehu's withdrawal from the Eighth Route Army, as well as what Zhao Tiehu planned to do in the future, Luo Rong felt a little incredulous. But he felt that since Zhao Tiehu was leaving, it was really difficult to force it.

After all, if the relationship is really stiff, what's the use of sending troops to imprison Zhao Tiehu? Twisted melons are not sweet, everyone understands this truth. What's more, Zhao Tiehu also promised to wait for the transfer of troops before leaving.

In this way, Luo Rong at least didn't have to worry about Zhao Tiehu suddenly leaving and causing too much chaos to the task force. Even at this point, Zhao Tiehu even thought of an excuse for his superiors, how could he persuade him?

This is not a betrayal, this is just a personal choice made by Zhao Tiehu, he can't adapt to the system of the Eighth Route Army, and he doesn't want to be picked on in the future to find trouble. After all, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!

Zhao Tiehu, whose personality is destined to be like this, wants him to change this character, which seems somewhat unlikely. Even in private, Luo Rong felt that letting Zhao Tiehu leave might make Zhao Tiehu go further.

Just when everyone was silent, as Zhao Tiehu's guard and direct subordinate team leader, Li Hao, nicknamed Datou, said very directly: "The captain is my life-saving benefactor, my life is saved by him, he goes there, I will go there!" ”

The simple but resolute words made everyone who participated in the meeting stunned. In fact, it is not easy for these people to make this decision. On one side is the troops, but on the other side is the boss they admire.

Fortunately, Zhao Tiehu was not in a hurry, in fact, if he didn't want to take a group of people away, Zhao Tiehu wouldn't have told the news at all. Telling the news to these old subordinates is also to give an explanation to these old subordinates.

After all, they followed themselves to Zaozhuang, and now that he is leaving, he should not leave secretly. In that case, others will think he is a deserter. Such a shameful reputation, Zhao Tiehu didn't want to bear it anyway.

Therefore, Zhao Tiehu quickly said: "You don't have to make a choice in a hurry, it's okay to go back and think about it." Actually, if you all chose to come with me, I wouldn't agree to it. After all, you are all leading cadres now.

This time, I will pick some people who are suitable to go with me. Since the big head has made this choice, then you will hand over the position and work. When this counter-encirclement campaign is over, leave with me! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

As the direct detachment leader, Li Hao is also a high-level figure in the task force. But even so, when he learned that Zhao Tiehu planned to leave the Eighth Route Army, he still chose to follow without saying a word. This loyalty really moved Zhao Tiehu a little.

As for the next road, Zhao Tiehu already has a detailed plan. He is well aware that the decision he made today may cause him a lot of trouble in the future. But he did it anyway!

After all, for a mercenary who had worked abroad for many years in his previous life, he didn't necessarily have to stay at home. And in his current situation, there is no point in staying in the country. Because, he is already alone!

And in the future, the mercenary group formed by him himself may show the edge of the real Chinese soldiers in the future. In the current situation, Zhao Tiehu believes that it should not be a problem to recruit some real iron-blooded veterans.

In the eyes of others, mercenaries have no faith and fight only for money. But in Zhao Tiehu's view, the mercenaries he will form in the future will be a mercenary group with faith, a mercenary group with the belief of defending the dignity of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

What's more, at this moment, we are in the most intense period of World War II, and I believe that a mercenary group composed of elite veterans should not worry about not receiving the task. Isn't it a double win to have money to make and to fight?

At least Zhao Tiehu, who can't leave Huaxia for the time being, can only undertake the hiring task of finding trouble with the little devil. Perhaps for the development of the mercenary group, Zhao Tiehu will take the initiative to find trouble with the little devils in order to obtain funds and fame.

After the fame was spread, Zhao Tiehu believed that the Zhong Yan Army, who was now eager to put him to death, would also find a way to ask him for help. At that time, Zhao Tiehu will really become a dangerous person in the eyes of the Japanese army who will do everything he can to get rid of it.

Once he became famous on the battlefield in China, Zhao Tiehu might be able to lead mercenaries into Burma to participate in the expeditionary force in the future. Or lead the mercenaries to the countries of Nanyang to defend the dignity of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

After all, at present, Nanyang is still a colony of various countries, and there are many descendants of Yan and Huang who went to Nanyang in the early years. Even some of the Nanyang countries that were founded mainly by the Chinese in later generations are still colonies of the great powers.

And in the near future, these Nanyang colonies belonging to the great powers will also usher in the invasion of little devils. If a mercenary group can be formed in Nanyang, perhaps Zhao Tiehu can also support a Chinese anti-war force in Nanyang.

If you have the opportunity, it is not impossible to establish a self-governing country for the Chinese in Nanyang in advance!

In short, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, after leaving the Eighth Route Army, he didn't worry about fighting at all. It is even possible that he can lead the mercenary group under his command in the future to travel all over the world to show the fearlessness and bravery of the Chinese mercenary group.

Of course, these ideas sound a bit exaggerated now. But Zhao Tiehu felt that such a challenging thing was somewhat unwilling not to try it. After all, it's rare to be reborn once, and you have to fight again!

It is precisely out of ambition for the future, as well as some understanding and judgment of the future situation, that Zhao Tiehu finally made today's decision. And the mercenary group he wants to build will also be officially established from the day he leaves the Eighth Route Army!
