Considering that the news might cause chaos, Zhao Tiehu arranged the affairs of the detachment, and after handing over these matters to Luo Rong, he finally chose to leave overnight. This is also common for many fighters living in the base.

At least for the time being, news about Zhao Tiehu's withdrawal from the Eighth Route Army and his imminent departure has not spread. Whether it was Luo Rong and his entourage or Zhao Tiehu, they all deliberately blocked the news, and the person who informed them was also given a gag order.

It's just that what makes people feel very surprised is that when Zhao Tiehu was about to leave without saying goodbye. Seeing the people who suddenly appeared in front of the team, Zhao Tiehu and Luo Rong, who came to see him off, were very surprised.

'Why are you here?' ’

'You're leaving, can I not come?' You're leaving, why didn't you tell me? Am I just making you annoyed? ’

Chen Wan, who had changed out of her military uniform in front of her but still couldn't hide her beautiful appearance, looked at Zhao Tiehu with a somewhat sad expression, and said something that surprised Zhao Tiehu, but she didn't know how to answer.

For the affection of the girl in front of him, how could Zhao Tiehu, who is not a rookie, not know. But since he decided to leave, he didn't want to implicate this girl. In his opinion, girls deserve a better future.

Just when Zhao Tiehu was speechless, Chen Wan continued to speak: "Without your task force, I really don't know how to stay. If you go, I will follow you, wherever you go. ”

The words were very calm but resolute, which made Zhao Tiehu can't help but tremble in his heart. Let Chen Wan make such a decisive decision, which is enough to show that the girl in front of her is only afraid that he has a deep love for him, and even if he is hard-hearted, he really can't say anything to refuse.

Also shocked was Luo Rong, who came to see him off, he knew that the telegraph team leader in front of him was the orphan of a classmate that Director Zhou attached great importance to. Originally, the task force was only temporarily assigned, and it was planned to transfer it back to Yan'an later.

As a result, Chen Wan took the initiative to apply to stay in the team, and even after returning to Yan'an this time, she still chose to return with Zhao Tiehu. Now he chose to leave with Zhao Tiehu, which really surprised Luo Rong, and even felt a little worried.

Said directly: "Comrade Chen Wan, do you know what you are doing?" This kind of thing, how can you mess around? ”

'Commissar Luo, this is a decision I have made after careful consideration, and I hope you can understand. And when I was in Yan'an, I had already told Uncle Zhou that I would not marry an iron tiger in this life, and he also promised Uncle Zhou to take care of me!

Since he chooses to leave now, then I can only choose to leave. Otherwise, what's the point of me staying here. Even if I return to Yan'an, what else do you think I can do? Tiehu, you can't be untrustworthy, right? ’

Faced with Chen Wan's somewhat frank and shy words, Luo Rong really didn't know how to refute it. How much courage does it take for a girl to say this in front of so many people?

The most important thing is that Luo Rong feels that what Chen Wan said also has some truth. Once the news of Zhao Tiehu's departure spreads, Chen Wan, who is close to Zhao Tiehu, is afraid that she will also be misunderstood. It's not a wise choice to leave.

Chen Wan, who had been waiting for Zhao Tiehu's answer, was not disappointed in the end, Zhao Tiehu still stepped forward bravely, held her hand and said seriously: "Qing does not live up to me, I live up to Qing!" ”

The answer was very simple, but it made Chen Wan very excited. With this commitment, the name between her and Zhao Tiehu can be regarded as formalized. As for what will happen to the two of them in the future, Chen Wan has not thought about it so far for the time being.

In fact, it was very difficult for Chen Wan to make such a decision. But she knew that if she let this man leave quietly, maybe the fate between her and Zhao Tiehu might be completely severed.

Looking at Chen Wan, who had such a resolute attitude, although Luo Rong, who knew that this matter had reached Yan'an, he was afraid that Director Zhou would also be angry, and finally could only say: "Comrade Chen Wan, have you really thought it through?" ”

'Political Commissar Luo, I have thought it through, and I ask the chief to forgive me for my willfulness! ’

If you know that you are willful, why do you still make such a decision?

Luo Rong, who sighed in his heart, didn't say much in the end, so Chen Wan could only leave with Zhao Tiehu for now. Song Dabao, who also came to see him off, also chose to leave with Zhao Tiehu for Chen Wan, and suddenly felt that choosing to leave might also be a good decision.

From joining the Eighth Route Army to the present, Zhao Tiehu's ability and charm, Song Dabao can be regarded as understanding. If it weren't for the stability of the troops, Zhao Tiehu did not disclose the news that he was leaving. If it is made public, I am afraid that more people will choose to follow Zhao Tiehu.

Now he chose to leave with Zhao Tiehu, and it seems that he has given up the position of deputy detachment leader that he finally obtained. But Song Dabao also knew in his heart that once Zhao Tiehu left, he, the deputy detachment leader, might also be transferred.

Sending Chen Changyuan as the political commissar of the detachment from above, Song Dabao could feel to some extent that Zhao Tiehu, who returned to Yan'an the previous time, was afraid that some people would be afraid. As an officer anyway, it may be a wise choice to leave early.

At least Song Dabao believes that if he follows Zhao Tiehu, he should not worry about running out of soldiers in the future. When they first came to Zaozhuang, they were not familiar with the place, and it didn't take long for them to pull up the current task force, so Zhao Tiehu should be able to pull up more troops in the future.

The more than 200 people who left with Zhao Tiehu this time were basically the elite backbone of the task force. With such a backbone here, if you want to expand the troops, I believe it will be an easy thing.

For this reason, Song Dabao is also looking forward to when he will receive Zhao Tiehu's summons again, and continue to fight side by side with Zhao Tiehu with other soldiers who choose to leave. At that time, I believe that life will definitely become very exciting!

Regarding the thoughts of Song Dabao and other people who chose to leave, Zhao Tiehu naturally couldn't guess. But he only knows that he will see people's hearts over time. Whether these people really follow him or not will always be seen in the following time.

Perhaps the path he chooses to take will be very difficult, but once it is successfully realized, Zhao Tiehu believes that the rewards of these people will be beyond their imagination. After all, in addition to his super combat experience, he also has advanced vision and a sense of the overall situation.

When Zhao Tiehu arrived in Lincheng and joined Chen Liquan and others who arrived in advance, he listened to Chen Liquan's report. Zhao Tiehu also smiled and said: "200,000 oceans, the little devil is really generous!" It's just that this money is not enough! ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen Wan, who was staying by Zhao Tiehu's side, was also very curious: "200,000 oceans are already a lot." If the price is raised again, I'm afraid the little devil won't agree, right? ”

'Xiao Wan, the little devil is willing to pay 200,000 to redeem the head, so I don't care about paying a little more. Now we have to start all over again, and if we don't have some money in hand, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything.

The most important thing is that I will pay the soldiers who fight with us in the future. As for what to do with those salaries, it is up to the fighters themselves. What's more, if you want to build an elite army, you can't do it without money.

Liquan, you will contact that little devil tomorrow and tell me about my conditions. One price, 300,000 oceans, as long as the little devil agrees to pay, the head will be returned to them immediately. Remember, at this price, if you don't agree to the deal, you will pull it down.

At that time, you can also tell the little devil that Chongqing should be very willing to pay a high price for the head of the little devil's lieutenant general. Even many foreign journalists in China should be interested in the head of this little devil's lieutenant general.

Whether it is more important to lose face or give up money depends on their choice. Take a tough attitude, I believe the little devil is willing to pay for it. In addition, you have to remember that this time it is the same old rule, see the money to give the head. ’

'Yes, Captain! ’

Listening to the title of Chen Liquan and others, Zhao Tiehu felt that when he arrived in a new place, maybe this title should also be changed. The more than 200 soldiers he took away at the moment were enough for Zhao Tiehu to set up a small mercenary group.

So in the future, should the soldier call him 'regimental commander', or something else? Zhao Tiehu felt that maybe he needed to think about it. In fact, Zhao Tiehu would prefer others to call him by his code name.

In this way, it is also beneficial to protect the situation of each mercenary group member. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the information of the group of people who came out with Zhao Tiehu this time is only available on the side of the Eighth Route Army, and others are afraid that it will be difficult to collect.

This means that the outside world may seem very unfamiliar with the mercenary group he is about to establish. But Zhao Tiehu believes that when his mercenary group begins to show its edge, it is believed that it will also attract the attention of all forces.

When Chen Liquan met Miyamoto Taro again with Zhao Tiehu's conditions, Miyamoto Taro was undoubtedly very shocked and angry when he heard Zhao Tiehu ask for a ransom of 300,000 oceans.

said directly: "Mr. Chen, your appetite is inevitably too big, right?" ”

'Mr. Miyamoto, I'm very sorry, but this is the price that our captain personally offered, and we are not allowed to counter-offer. In addition, our captain also said that if Mr. Miyamoto can't afford this price, Chongqing should be interested.

There are also those foreign journalists in our country who should also be very interested in this news. After all, the head of a lieutenant general who was cut off on the battlefield, I believe many people are interested in seeing what that head looks like. ’

As soon as these words came out, Miyamoto Taro's heart was immediately shocked. From these words, Miyamoto Taro can basically judge that Zhao Tiehu is a person who knows the situation at home and abroad very well.

If this news is really exposed, I believe that those foreign media who are dissatisfied with the Japanese invasion of China will definitely be excited by this news. At that time, I am afraid that the face of the Japanese bowl army may be ridiculed by the whole world.

In view of this situation, Miyamoto Taro could only consult Major General Kurokawa, who had been waiting for news. Knowing that the Eighth Route Army finally offered a sky-high price, Major General Kurokawa finally decided to redeem himself in order to stabilize the morale of the army and the position of division commander.

But when the ransom was paid, the payment method proposed by Zhao Tiehu once again aroused Miyamoto Taro's suspicions. The reason is that Zhao Tiehu asked for a certain amount of pounds and dollars in addition to the ocean and gold payment.

What is the use of asking for the currencies of these two countries for a military unit in China?
