Chapter 170 An unexpected surprise!
Hearing this, Chen Yan sobered up immediately and looked at the brigade commander excitedly.
There was also surprise in the excitement.
His purpose was to ask the brigade commander for more troops, and his initial idea was that a few hundred people would be enough.
2000 people is not a small number, just his 386th Brigade?
Could it be that the brigade commander was drunk and talking nonsense?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan quickly asked:
"Brother, listen to me, this is an extra zero."
At this time, the two little princes stopped fighting, and Lao Li, the black whistle, came over.
The brigade commander narrowed his eyes and took a deep puff of his cigarette:
"Brother, you look down on me and think I'm kidding you."
"No, brother, I'm just afraid that once you sober up tomorrow, all my happiness will be in vain..."
"No, just tell me if 2000 is enough.
If 2000 is not enough, try 3000.
If 3000 is not enough, then 4000."
At this time, Chen Yan felt more and more uneasy as he listened to the brigade commander speak.
Why the hell is this guy raising the price himself...
He really dares to say that bragging is tax-free.
However, the brigade commander doesn’t seem like that kind of person!
Seeing Chen Yan's confused face, the brigade commander put his arm around Chen Yan's neck and whispered:
"Brother, it's not just you who got promoted, I got promoted too.
The number of troops has increased in recent years, and our Eighth Route Army organization must also make adaptive adjustments.
The headquarters decided to form the Taiyue Column with the 386th Brigade, the First Death Column, the 212th Brigade and part of the Second and Third Death Columns to open up the Yuenan Anti-Japanese Base Area, and I, your elder brother, will be the commander of the column.
The brigade commander looked at Chen Yan and blinked, "Brother, I have a full complement of troops under me. Do you think you are short of 2000 people?"
It is not just full staffing. Although the columns below the brigade level are regimental-level units, they have a large number of people. It is not uncommon for a column to have 3 or 4000 people.
"Brother, only transfer a part of the second and third columns to me, the rest..."
After saying this, the brigade commander gave Chen Yan a look that said, "You understand."
At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly realized.
There was no news about this matter in advance, and it seems that it is still in the confidential stage.
If it weren't for the insider tipping off, Chen Yan would never have gotten this advantage. Those who are eyeing him must be eyeing him covetously.
Chen Yan lowered his head and asked in a low voice:
"Brigade Commander, is this safe?"
"Brother, don't worry, it will be safe.
I have already started preparations for the newly established Taiyue Column Headquarters, and I estimate that the next two days will be the start of the work."
"Brother, tell me the truth, how many people are left in the second and third columns?"
The brigade commander looked at Chen Yan with interest and said, "Boy, are you planning to take it all? I heard that many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat."
Chen Yan said with a smirk:
"Brother, no matter how fat the meat is, it has to rot in your own pot. If you throw it into someone else's pot, you won't even get a sip of soup. Isn't that the truth?"
"According to preliminary statistics, at least 5000 people can stay."
"5000!!!"
"Oh my goodness, those are 5000 elite soldiers who can be deployed to fight, and they are the organization of two reinforced regiments."
At this moment, Chen Yan could no longer suppress his inner excitement and shouted wildly in his heart.
5000 is mine!
5000 is mine!
"Brother, can you make this happen?"
"this.......".
The brigade commander looked at Chen Yan's face full of expectation, but at this moment he was scratching his teeth.
I must have been a little drunk just now, and the atmosphere was just right. I would feel as if I wasn't bragging a little.
Who the hell would have thought that Chen Yan would really dare to open his mouth? He really wanted to kill all 5000 people. This was not something he could decide.
Even with 2000 people, he has to try...
The brigade commander patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be too excited, listen to me first..."
Chen Yan did not allow the brigade commander to speak and spoke first:
"Brother, shut up and listen to me first.
I'll give you equipment for 5000 men, can you do this?"
brigadier:"!!!".
"What? Say it again, you're giving me equipment for 5000 people for free?"
Seeing Chen Yan nodding with a smile, it was the brigade commander's turn to be shocked.
I gave him this 5000-man army, and he gave me 5000 men with equipment.
Anyway, those 5000 people will be given to others, so for me there is no difference between giving it to Chen Yan and giving it to others.
This business is a sure win!
Seeing that the brigade commander was still hesitating, Chen Yan, under the influence of alcohol, shouted:
"Brother, I have set the price. Can you do it? If not, I will find someone else."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll take the job and I can definitely do it."
At this moment, the brigade commander could not hide his excitement and slammed the table.
"As long as the equipment is in place, I have to do it even if it means I lose face."
"Can you figure it out?"
"Brother, don't worry, you must get this done clearly."
"Okay, then give me a toast."
"Uh~".
The brigade commander paused for a moment, then continued:
"Brother, that's very nice of you. I'll drink this glass of wine."
At this time, Chen Yan was very proud.
It’s good to have money. Everyone has to do things for me and thank me.
"Thanks, brother, I'll have another drink."
Chen Yan smiled broadly and raised his glass to toast the brigade commander.
It would certainly be very difficult for the brigade commander to handle 5000 soldiers, but it is not impossible.
At worst, I can just kneel down to the commander-in-chief. It’s because Chen Yan gave me so much.
The confused people who were listening on the side looked at the two big guys stupidly, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Gang asked in a low voice: "Old Li, did you understand what happened in the past two minutes?"
“I think... I understand...
Our army will soon have 5000 soldiers."
"Is that all?".
"It's like Chen Er just waved his hand and we lost the equipment of 5000 people..."
Zhao Gang: “…”
"Fuck, Chen Er is such a spendthrift!"
Looking at Ding Wei and Kong Jie again, the two men stopped fighting. They stood face to face, looking at Chen Yan and the brigade commander.
Ding Wei's heart was beating fast when he heard this.
Damn, Chen Yan is really rich!
You don’t take the equipment for 5000 people seriously, and just give it to them?
This time I came here just to get a few hundred guns, damn, that's too small.
If this were to be made known to others, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of our Commander Chen?
At this time, Ding Wei mustered up the courage and came to Chen Yan with a flattering look on his face.
"Commander Chen, please raise your hand again and give me another thousand or eight hundred guns. It doesn't matter if it's more or less. I don't mind."
Chen Yan: “!!!”
Chen Yan looked at Ding Wei in surprise, as if he was an idiot.
You're not complaining at all, thinking that I'm Xiao Kai and anyone can take advantage of me.
At this time, Chen Yan looked at the brigade commander meaningfully, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
It's your own people, so you take care of them.
At this time, the brigade commander was also a little embarrassed.
Ding Wei seems to be quite smart, but he is actually a simple-minded person.
I just wanted to provide equipment for 5000 people, but my subordinates also want it. Isn't this just taking advantage of me?
Where is my face?
As he said this, the commander roared: "Ding Wei, you bastard, get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself."
After Ding Wei walked out with a resentful look on his face, Kong Jie came up again with a nagging look on his face.
"Brigade Commander, I have something else to do..."
