Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 560: The Blame Prepared for Old Yan (1)

Yu Ye instantly became the focus of the scene.

"It was indeed difficult before, and some misunderstandings occurred. This time we attacked Taiyuan City, which was occupied by the Japanese, and we also captured a lot of spoils. We must not let Commander Yan go back empty-handed.

Otherwise it would seem that our Eighth Route Army does not know etiquette.

Commander, I will apply to you right now, what do you think? "

Yu Ye said, turning to ask the commander.

The commander immediately waved his hand and said, "You said it, so why shouldn't I approve it? When Commander Yan leaves, bring back a thousand Japanese Type 38 rifles for our comrades in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. This is our Eighth Route Army's way of thanking our comrades for fighting side by side with us."

Hearing this, Old Yan and a group of Shanxi Suiyuan Army officers felt jealous.

The accuracy of the Japanese Type 38 rifle was still very good for them. Many soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were willing to replace their Zhongzheng rifles with the Type 38 rifles after seizing them from the Japanese.

Judging from the commander's casual gesture, he obviously did not take the thousand Japanese Type 38 rifles seriously.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army treated things that the Eighth Route Army did not value as much as treasures. How could Old Yan feel good about this?

Thinking of this, Old Yan looked at Yu Ye deeply. Over the past year or so, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has made great progress, and all the progress in equipment was led by the young man in front of him.

"The commander is generous, and Director Yu is also generous. Bochuan would like to thank him here."

Although he felt sad inside, he still appeared calm on the surface.

"Commander, the reason I came here today is just to express my condolences to your department. There is something more important that I want to discuss with you." Old Yan changed the subject and brought up the main topic of today.

"Commander Yan, we are all comrades in the Anti-Japanese United Front. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

All the Eighth Route Army soldiers focused their eyes on Old Yan's face, as if they wanted to see something from his face.

Look at Old Yan, and then look at Chu Xi standing behind Old Yan. In fact, everyone knows what this guy wants to do without Old Yan saying anything.

It's nothing more than taking back the Taiyuan that he has been longing for.

Yu Ye was very curious. After Chu Xi was scolded back, what excuse would Old Yan use to intervene in Taiyuan this time.

"Then I'll tell you. Brothers, we have been operating in Taiyuan for 20 to 30 years. The Japanese bullied us in China and occupied Taiyuan. We, the people of Taiyuan and even the entire Jin area, suffered a lot of harm.

Now your troops have finally fought a bloody battle with the Japanese and recaptured Taiyuan, which belongs to the people. I, Bochuan, am very grateful.

I think after operating in Taiyuan for so many years, I am more familiar with the situation of the entire Jin area, so if the commander does not abandon me, I, Bochuan, am willing to help your army defend Taiyuan and even the entire Jin area. "

Old Yan spoke slowly, staring at the commander with a burning gaze, and tried to straighten his chest as if to show that he was upright and selfless.

However, all this seemed very ridiculous in the eyes of the commander, Yu Ye and other officers of the Eighth Route Army.

Yu Ye's heart flashed with disdain. What the hell is called helping to defend Taiyuan? What the hell is called helping to defend Jindi? We have even driven the devils away, do we still need you to help defend us?

Are you kidding me?

I'm afraid the defense is fake, and the real purpose is to grab our territory and squeeze us out of Taiyuan.

When the commander heard what Old Yan said, he almost laughed out of anger. We came here to grab the territory and yet we spoke so righteously. If people didn't understand, they would think we were begging the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to come and help us garrison.

However, the commander was still the commander after all, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Commander Yan, I am a rough man, and I don't understand many things very thoroughly.

I would like to trouble you to translate, what does it mean to assist in the defense of Taiyuan? "

"Assisting in the defense of Taiyuan means..."

Old Yan felt a little embarrassed by the commander's questioning, and his voice was trembling.

"Commander Yan, could you please translate for me what does it mean to help defend Taiyuan?"

The commander emphasized it again. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire temporary command center changed. Almost in an instant, there was a feeling of tension.

Old Yan and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and their companions were already in the wrong, and after hearing the commander's questioning, they immediately felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

The scene suddenly froze and no one dared to say another word.

If we don’t handle it well now, the situation will collapse immediately.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Yu Ye coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes were suddenly cast on him.

"Commander Yan, let's put this joint defense thing aside for now. I want to talk to you about something that concerns the livelihood of the entire province. Do you think you are interested?"

Yu Ye directly changed the topic and talked about people's livelihood instead of military affairs.

"Director Yu, why don't you tell me about it?"

Old Yan saw someone handing him a ladder. He decided to take advantage of the situation first. He couldn't just turn against each other and start a fight here, right?

"You said you have been doing business in Jin for 20 to 30 years. I think you must be concerned about the people's livelihood in the entire Jin area and keep the more than 10 million people in your heart.

I heard that you have made great achievements in both industry and agriculture.

We would like to hire you as the chief official in charge of water conservancy and agriculture in Jin. If possible, we would like to let you be in charge of water conservancy projects throughout the country. What do you think?"

Yu Ye expressed his thoughts slowly and calmly.

Since you, Old Yan, said that you have been running Jin for many years, then I will take the opportunity to invite you to be in charge of water conservancy and agriculture. I will also mention that you have made great achievements in agriculture and industry, and praise you highly. Whether you want to take advantage of this opportunity to step down is up to you.

Hearing what the young man said, Old Yan felt a surge of rage in his heart. I valued you so much, but I didn't expect that you, a little bastard, actually wanted to strip me of my military power and make me work for you?

Old Yan was about to speak, but was blocked by Yu Ye: "Commander Yan, please don't be angry yet. I, Yu Ye, am speaking to you very frankly.

Please don't think I am insulting you. With my army's unstoppable momentum, the whole world will surely be in our hands. In the future, managing the world's water conservancy will be a good job."

Old Yan was originally furious, but when he saw Yu Ye's clear eyes, he instantly sobered up a little, suppressed his emotions and said, "Thank you, Director Yu, for your advice. I will consider it."

Yu Ye glanced at Lao Yan with approval in his heart, and said silently in his heart: "My little brother, it's a good thing you didn't refuse and didn't end up in a dead end.

You will all know from now on that the price I offer the first time I negotiate with others is always the most fair."

Yu Ye brought up this matter with Old Yan, not for any other reason, but mainly because of the several machine tools and a set of measuring instruments that Old Yan had sent to Liaoyuan Arsenal when it was in the most difficult time. Regardless of Old Yan's original intention, the final result objectively contributed to the rapid improvement of the industrial level of Liaoyuan Arsenal.

Just for this reason, Yu Ye is willing to give him a chance to choose this time.

If there is any other reason, it is because a heavy blame will be put on Old Yan's head later, so this can be regarded as compensation to Old Yan in advance.
