Chapter 59: Showing Nothing (II)
The Ya'an camp took Qi Luo to light a long pipe, took a few puffs, raised his hand to wipe his bearded face, and slowly exhaled a thick smoke:
"Yiming, you are really willing to spend money on this training base, it is more than ten times stronger than my brother's baggage battalion, and when the warehouse in the cave and several permanent fortifications are completed, it will become a full golden soup camp."
"Actually, it didn't cost much, there were all over the mountain, and the explosives and (detonator) tubes that opened the mountain were all trial products of the Dayi Chemical Factory, and the little nephew paid for some materials and wages for building barracks. Uncle Luo, the little nephew has to thank you, if you hadn't sent fifty old sergeants to the little nephew, the newly recruited five hundred brothers would not know how to train. ”
Xiao Yimin moved the teacup to the edge of the table to make it easier for Qi Luo to drink, and this seemingly casual little thing can often move people.
Qi Luo didn't look at the teacup, and pointed to the three Wang Jian beside him:
"Thank them if you want to thank them, for for two months all the training in this place has been under their command, alas! I really can't bear to give you these three boys, they are all top military training experts, without their three military academy graduates to help me train, where can my 'Tai'an Battalion' win the championship in last year's Chengdu Autumn Season?
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, the past few days in the autumn were the most beautiful days in my life, and I was so happy to see the shocked appearance of the big man and the delicate officers and soldiers in the city puffing out their eyes and opening their mouths wide! If you hadn't become the pipe of our border army, and coaxed the adults to press me with a big hat, you would have begged me on your knees, and I wouldn't have released anyone to you. ”
Wang Jian and the three grinned, and the guards standing around looked at Wang Jian and the others, and they could see that the soldiers admired these three sturdy young officers very much.
Xiao Yimin saw that Qi Luo was getting more and more energetic, and he simply played a scoundrel:
"Uncle Luo, you didn't grab anything from your little nephew, hundreds of 20-round shell guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, five pairs of German Zeiss binoculars, 700 sets of khaki military uniforms and new military shoes, and a few large boxes of Western medicine, my little nephew didn't receive a penny from your old one! You're good, the more you talk about it, the more you talk about it, don't you still want to cheat something? ”
The crowd burst into laughter, and several teams of the baggage battalion were too happy to join the army.
Qi Luo put away his pipe unhurriedly and rolled his eyes at Xiao Yimin: "Oh! Why don't you count the hundred good horses that Lao Tzu gave you? What about others? People are worth more than horses! ”
Everyone laughed again, and now Xiao Yimin surrendered:
"Good! Isn't it okay if the little nephew doesn't say it? In this way, if you still have any ideas, say it as soon as possible, lest the little nephew return to Chengdu in two days, and you will scold your mother behind your back. ”
Qi Luo's face looked much better, he discussed with a few team members a little, turned to Xiao Yimin and made an unceremonious request: "Forget about the rest, you can send twenty German sewing machines over, so that our mothers-in-law will have nothing to do all day long." ”
Xiao Yimin looked at the leaders of several baggage battalions and joined the army, and asked Qi Luo curiously: "Uncle Luo, you don't plan to go back to your hometown in the north?" ”
"Return the ball! Most of the old guys have married their mothers-in-law here, and they have a lot of children, and they can't even speak their hometown, so what are you going to do in the north? Besides, it's been more than 20 years, and I don't know if anyone is still alive in my hometown, and it is estimated that going back is the life of sweeping the tomb! ”
After Qi Luo finished speaking, he began to load his pipe again, and his cloudy eyes showed a trace of sadness.
Xiao Yimin felt very uncomfortable, nodded and agreed:
"That's it, send fifty sewing machines over in forty days, and pull a few carts of other cloth needlework or something, if it's not enough, Uncle Luo and your predecessors will open their mouths, Ya'an to Chengdu is only a two-day carriage journey, and it is still very convenient to transport some things, wait a few years to see if you can expand the highway and build a few bridges, if it works, the little nephew will buy a few big cars to transport goods back, and you can go back and forth in one day."
Everyone was moved, and the officers below Qi Luo stood up one after another, clasped their fists and thanked Xiao Yimin, Xiao Yimin hurriedly returned the salute, and Qi Luo already had a satisfied smile on his face.
At night, the recruits returned to the camp to study, Wang Jian and the three of them, plus Zheng Yi and Zheng Changze, all went to be instructors, and there were two German technicians and translators, Xiao Yimin, Qi Luo and several officers of the baggage battalion left around the roaring bonfire by the riverside, two sergeants from the prairie were roasting whole sheep and hares around the bonfire, and several guards poured wine for everyone.
The sharp dagger cut through the fragrant golden roast and delivered it to everyone, and the two German technicians praised it with their eyes lit up after eating.
Qi Luo wiped his mouth and approached Xiao Yimin: "How many people do you plan to bring back this time?" ”
"A team of 50 horses, a machine gun platoon, the others are temporarily left to continue training, the barracks in the Chengdu North School Yard have not started yet, and there is no place to live if you go too much." Xiao Yimin replied in a low voice.
Qi Luo nodded: "Let's take all the guards back, with Wang Jian, they are responsible for the training of recruits, it is estimated that it is enough, it is useless for you to leave half of the people here, it is better to bring them all back, the old man is gone, Chengdu is unstable, the newspaper said that those who are engaged in railways in Chengdu are all in trouble, if the new governor can't suppress the field, I'm afraid the whole Sichuan will be chaotic." Besides, the grandsons of the New Army, who are clamoring for revolution all day long, absolutely can't be trusted, and you can't let them underestimate them. ”
Xiao Yimin explained in detail:
"It's okay, at least it's not a big deal for a few months, the reason why the little nephew came to Ya'an at this time, in addition to looking at the new recruits at the base, is to avoid those people in Chengdu and don't want to fall into it with them. In addition, I plan to gather together the more than 800 security guards who have completed their training since last year, led by several senior brothers, Zong Yi and Wang Jian, with the assistance of my guards, and strive to select 200 elite soldiers with a skill within a month, and then add 100 people in the guards to form three infantry teams, and return to Chengdu to guard our share of the family business, no matter how chaotic Chengdu is, no one can harm our interests, otherwise you will not be polite. ”
Qi Luo nodded: "When the time comes, if you don't have enough manpower, send someone to squeak, two or three teams of people and horses Uncle can still send you over, if it weren't for the war in the west, all the five hundred brothers would go to Tibet to reinforce, and the old brother could give you more people." ”
"It's enough for the time being, it is estimated that nothing desperate will happen, and those people in Chengdu just want to provoke me, and they have to weigh the thousands of children in Hongmen, not to mention that most of the officers in the new army have a good relationship with their little nephews, and there are two battalions of soldiers and horses in the city to contain the various departments, so there will not be much movement." Xiao Yimin did not hide this veteran soldier who had been fighting all his life.
Qi Luo put his mind at ease, and told a lot of words before leaving and returning to the camp.
Xiao Yimin sent it to the pier outside the camp gate, watched the boat go away, and walked back side by side with the guard Xiaofei, and was attracted by a meteor that suddenly crossed the sky halfway through.
The dazzling meteor flew across the blue sky, streaking a golden light from west to east, and finally disappeared into the distant sky.
The sky is still deep and clean, the stars are still full of sky, but Xiao Yimin's heart is getting heavier and heavier.
