"What are you doing here?" Huang Ke stood in front of Batu, lowered his head and scolded Batu lying on the ground, and he stabbed Batu with sharp eyes.

Batu rubbed his eyes and fixed his eyes to see who it was, and his wine seemed to wake up. He hurriedly stood up and spoke tremblingly.

Undoubtedly, in front of Huang Ke, he has always been the Mongolian boy, without the slightest arrogance of a general.

"Commander......" Batu was so dull that he didn't know what to say.

"Have you lost your soul? Where's your military uniform? What a foreign appearance here! What does it look like? Huang Ke clasped his hands behind his back, his voice was not loud but not angry.

"I ......," Batu said again.

"You've let me down so much!" Huang Ke didn't speak, pulled his face and left without saying a word.

When he walked to the door, Fourteen Tsai had already prepared the vehicle, and without waiting for Batu to catch up, Huang Ke yelled loudly for the driver to drive. Batu ran after him shirtless, but he didn't catch the door, and the car drove forward in a puff of smoke.

Batu, who was sober, looked at Huang Ke's car and secretly regretted it, the major of the racetrack hurriedly ran over, and when the car he watched was far away, he patted his thigh and said, "Why did the minister leave in a hurry?" ”

Batu glanced at him and asked, "When did the commander come?" Coming here for business? ”

The major realized that he had just made a mistake, and quickly explained: "I don't know, and I didn't say hello beforehand." In the afternoon, the minister came over in civilian clothes with two guards, saying that he came to see it, and the guards asked us to clean up, and the minister went around in person, hey! ”

The Major slapped his leg in dismay, and when he sighed, Batuu's mind had already begun to make a basic judgment. That's right, Huang Ke came to see him, but he was so decadent that he was drunk and slept naked in the racecourse.

Ay! It's too casual on your own. Isn't this a prairie? This is the capital of Nanjing, and he is like a woman who is petty, drunk and crazy, and sleeps outside in the afternoon shirtless.

Thinking of this, Batu's intestines are all repentant, what should I do? What can be done now to recover?

The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, although Batu is usually quite smart, but at this time he has no idea, but fortunately, he remembered that he wanted to discuss it with others, and he suddenly remembered Liu Jian who left before he drank, could it be that Liu Jian told the commander?

Maybe there is this possibility, but Liu Jian would not have thought that he would be drunk after he left. What now?

Looking for Liu Jian, yes! Find Liu Jian and ask him what to do about this? Batu usually doesn't have many friends, Liu Jian is one, not to mention that Liu Jian has a smart head and will definitely help him come up with a solution.

"Major, do you have a phone here? I'm going to borrow it. Batu led the way.

The major nodded: "There is one in the duty room, I will take you there." ”

Batu hung up the phone and went to the officers' dormitory of the Ministry of National Defense, and as expected, Liu Jian was in the dormitory. Batu said to wait for him in the dormitory, and he would go over.

After speaking, Batu walked to the well and fetched a large bucket of cold water, he took off his military hat and stuffed his head into the bucket to sober up, and after ten seconds or so, he took it out of the bucket, wiped it with a towel indiscriminately, and then walked out.

After returning to the dormitory, he told Liu Jian what had happened back and forth, and Liu Jian frowned after hearing it, and remained silent.

Batu stared at him closely, feeling a little furious in his heart: "What do you say I should do now?" The commander must have gone to me on purpose. Hey, I was also upset and confused at the time. ”

Liu Jian paced and thought for a moment before asking, "Did Commander Huang say anything else?" ”

Batu thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "No! ”

Liu Jian's tightly knit brows relaxed, and he smiled: "That's fine!" It seems that the commander is still not too disappointed, and your performance today is what he expected. ”

"What?" Batu was a little confused.

Liu Jian smiled and said, "Don't doubt it, believe me." You go to the commander now and take the initiative to admit your mistakes, and the commander will forgive you. ”

Batu naturally didn't know that Liu Jian, who was familiar with history books, understood that as a military commander, leading his subordinates had to think and act at the same time. After dismissing the cavalry, Batu's heart must be uncomfortable, but he can't reward him with anything, so Batu's heart will naturally be collected.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian smiled. At this time, Batu had already packed up and went out, called a rickshaw and ran to the Ministry of Defense.

……

When Batu came running, Huang Ke had already seen him coming, but he didn't let Batu in, and people stopped him, saying that he was going to sober up and come in again.

Batu stood at the door for more than half an hour, during which time Huang Ke asked Shishizai to bring chairs and tea, but this stubborn Mongolian man was never used.

Mao Yisheng, a bridge manufacturing expert from the Engineering Department standing upstairs, looked at it and said with a smile: "Minister Huang, it seems that you have chosen a good person, but this work still needs a person with perseverance to do it." ”

Huang Ke's face was grim, half a year ago, the think tank made a proposal based on Japan's strong naval and air force strength to open up the highway between China and Burma, and once the war broke out, it would break the Japanese blockade and better obtain assistance from the outside world.

Huang Ke thought about it for a long time, and he knew that this was the famous Yunnan-Burma Highway in history. Because it was a purely militarized path, the National Assembly discussed it and handed over the responsibility of construction to the Ministry of National Defense. At first, officials at the Ministry of National Defense disagreed, but Huang Ke pushed back against it, believing that this was a good time to build a professional engineering army.

Engineering is no joke! The project requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it also needs a large number of excellent professional knowledge engineers, which are easy to do. Money is not a difficult matter, the Ministry of National Defense spends a lot of money every year, plus many military enterprises and Huang Ke personally got money in Shenzhen, although the construction project costs gold and silver, but this is not particularly difficult.

At the moment, the most difficult thing is talent. Although China's economy has made great strides in recent years, and its industrial strength has been improving, all kinds of professional talents are still scarce resources, and experts in building bridges and highways are like fragrant sweets in various units, and it is not easy to poach people.

But Huang Ke still stubbornly assigned this task, and the hard work paid off, and a group of engineering experts who were interested in serving the country came here, including Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert and professor at National Central University.

At that time, Mao Yisheng was in the limelight, and his design of the Qiantang River Bridge was completed shortly after, which is one of the few modern bridges in China. However, Mao Yisheng did not take credit for himself, continued to study civil engineering-related knowledge, and when he learned that the country was going to build the China-Myanmar Railway, he did not hesitate to sign up.

Under the leadership of Mao Yisheng, a large number of civil engineering experts came to the Ministry of National Defense to participate in the construction of national defense projects, these gratifying scenes made Huang Ke very excited, Huang Ke decided to appoint Mao Yisheng as the commander-in-chief of the construction of the engineering corps, but Mao Yisheng refused.

Mao Yisheng said, "I'm just a builder, I'm good at giving advice, but I can't command these hundreds of thousands of troops, you still find a person who specializes in leading troops, so that we can give him advice on the project, and he will command tens of thousands of soldiers to build, so that it can really make the best use of things." ”

Huang Ke thought so, he appointed Mao Yisheng as the chief designer of the project, and led the engineer group to form a think tank team, but he did not have any candidates for the commander of the engineering troops, and he decided to give this position to Batu after a long time.

So, there was the previous scene.

Batu had been standing outside the door for more than two hours, and in the afternoon in Nanjing, the heat was unbearable, Batu was wearing riding boots and a thick military uniform, and the sweat was dripping like rain, but he still stood still, like a javelin.

"Minister Huang, it's almost! I'm afraid his body can't bear it if he continues to dry it. Mao Yisheng said with some distress.

Huang Ke's face turned pale, and after half a sound, he said to Fourteen Tsai: "Go, call Batu up." ”

After the fourteenth boy received the order, he immediately ran down in a hurry, and he hurriedly ran to Batu and said, "General Batu, the commander asked you to go up!" ”

Batu cracked his mouth and smiled, and when he was about to move forward, he fell to the ground with his head......

Batu, who suffered from dehydration and heat stroke, regained his previous vitality after a few days of recuperation, he didn't know that these were all tempered by Huang Ke, and it took more than perseverance for a proud cavalry general to be able to put down his sword and pick up a shovel.

But Batu did it, and it worked!

He took off the collar badge symbolizing the glory of the cavalry, and led tens of thousands of troops who had been turned into engineers to carry simple weapons and mechanical equipment into the deep mountains and forests of Yunnan in the scorching heat.

Subsequently, together with tens of thousands of people in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, he used the most primitive tools and the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese to build a modern highway between Yunnan and Burma, which later played an important role in the Sino-Japanese War and later laid the foundation for the Chinese National Defense Army's southern expedition to Burma.

Of course, the engineering troops led by Batu did not stop there, they left the scorching southwest jungle, and then moved to the cold and biting Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, holding a gun in one hand and a shovel in the other, building the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, which is amazing to the world, and at the same time building the project, they also abolished the Tibetan serfdom, suppressed the rebellion of the Tibetan Turkish army, dealt a blow to the invasion attempts of the British and Indian troops, and maintained the unity of the country.

Countless of them have left their lives there forever, but they have turned into mountains!

(Hats off to all the working people and engineers!) Advertising time: I rarely recommend books, recommend "Chrono Commando: World War II", the idea is good, the scene is grand, you can take a look)
