Zhou Jinbao was also worried about his own future at that time. He had too much time to take care of himself and had no reason to stop others from seeking another job or climbing a higher branch, so he could only reluctantly agree. But it is impossible to say that he didn't have any grudge in his heart at that time.
And he is quite familiar with Zhou Wen's habits. After all, the two of them met at the end of their lives, and they know each other's rise to prominence clearly.
Although Zhou Wen looks humble and gentle on the outside, and seems gentle in his behavior and conversation, he is actually a decisive and ruthless master.
As early as when he asked Zhou Wen to help him plan his transfer back to the supply office, Zhou Jinbao already knew that Zhou Wen was someone he could not offend easily.
Think about it, Fatty Zhao didn’t have a life-or-death feud with him. He just gave him and Xu Dacheng a little trouble when they first arrived at the military camp. But when he said that the way to solve the problem was to get rid of Fatty Zhao.
When he fell, the young man's eyes were full of calmness, as if it was easier than killing a chicken.
And he believed that if he hadn't tried to dissuade him in time and try not to kill anyone, Fatty Zhao would never have ended up with both legs disabled.
At that time, Zhou Jinbao felt that the reason why Zhou Wen wanted to get Fatty Zhao was not just to help him. He vaguely guessed that Zhou Wen was probably crazy about poverty at that time, and he directly focused on Fatty Zhao's smuggled arms and money.
.Zhou Jinbao knew very well the embarrassing situation that the Third Supplementary Group that Zhou Wen joined was in.
Later, Zhou Wen's development and rise shocked him even more.
He had almost wiped out all the bandits in the Funiu Mountains. He had robbed countless bandits of their robberies over the years. Almost every piece of the ocean was stained with the blood of bandits. Although these bandits who committed all kinds of evil deserved to die,
It was a bit scary that hundreds of people died at the hands of a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time.
Later, Shi Shouxin's family, who had become enemies with him, were directly destroyed. It is said that even the servants were not spared (actually it was Chief Gu who helped Zhou Wen cook). Moreover, Shi Shouxin's many years of savings and his cousin Shi
All the gold and silver treasures entrusted to him by the Marshal were missing, and were said to be worth millions of oceans.
That's all. Zhou Jinbao was just frightened and envied and admired Zhou Wen's methods.
What makes him feel palpitated and frightened is that no matter who Zhou Wen is, he can be brothers, but the prerequisite is that you don't touch his bottom line, otherwise, this person will turn against him and kill someone without any hesitation.
Zhou Jinbao still clearly remembers the cold light in Zhou Wen's eyes when he rushed to the Hongxiu family to explain after something happened to the Hongxiu family that Zhou Wen entrusted him to take care of.
He believed that if he had made any excuses at that time or had not been candid enough in his explanation, he might have become a corpse buried in the yard of Hongxiu's house that day.
Therefore, he repeatedly warned himself that when interacting with Zhou Wen, you must be honest, honest, and no matter how honest you are, there must not be a trace of your own selfish desires mixed in, let alone any crooked thinking.
Of course, he knows that Zhou Wen is also a very friendly and loyal person. As long as you are really kind to him and help him sincerely, he will repay you tenfold. Most of what he is today is due to Zhou Wen's best care.
And maybe he was too busy to take care of this at the time or he did it on purpose. Anyway, he never told his former good brother Zeng Erniu.
After hearing the news that Zeng Erniu had been dealt with, Zhou Jinbao still felt a little sad. Although he didn't know what outrageous things this old subordinate had done, he knew that he must have been deceived by lard and offended Zhou Wen.
Bottom line.
Just when he was filled with jealousy, a "bang" sounded, and a thunder exploded in the sky, making him tremble all over.
At this moment, a truck in the distance came swaying on the uneven mountain road.
"Here it comes, it's the transport team's truck." An officer shouted.
It finally arrived, and all the officers present breathed a sigh of relief. It was about to rain heavily, and if this distinguished guest didn't come, everyone would be drowned.
Sure enough, the truck stopped a little distance away with the dust along the way. A young man in a Chinese tunic suit jumped out of the passenger seat and greeted Zhao Huaili with a smile from afar: "We haven't seen each other in a few years, Brother Zhao is still here."
The style remains the same, but this uninvited guest, my little brother, has come to disturb me."
This young man is none other than Zhou Wen.
Zhao Huaili hurriedly greeted you and said with a hearty laugh: "Scholar, you are a distinguished and rare guest. I, Old Zhao, haven't had time to welcome you. How can I call you a nuisance?"
The two shook hands warmly and exchanged a few words of farewell. Zhao Huaili took Zhou Wen's hand and turned to his officers and said: "The scholar is responsible for the secret service of the Military Commission. His identity should not be made public, but his official position is higher than mine, Zhao."
If it’s too much, you all can come over to pay homage.”
Zhao Huaili knew that when Zhou Wen came to visit, he would have to help with something. Whether it was on official business with the secret order from the Military Commission or from the perspective of personal friendship, he was obliged to help.
That's why he brought all his officers out to greet Zhou Wen. He learned from his own reckless lessons in the past to prevent these arrogant generals from unknowingly colliding with and offending this man who seemed to be his equal, but actually had more power.
His much older comrade-in-arms.
Zhou Wen saw that Zhao Huaili was so arrogant and did not want to be trusted, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zhao is too polite. How can my official position be comparable to that of you? Just look at these mighty brothers of yours and you will know
Brother Zhao is still as good at leading troops and running the army as he was before. No wonder he is able to gain the trust of Chief Gu and lead a strong army to guard this important place alone."
The so-called "Huahuaqiaozi" was praised by everyone. Although Zhou Wen's words had the meaning of reciprocating favors and complimenting each other, they also went into Zhao Huaili's heart, making him feel very happy after hearing them.
Zhou Wen's words about leading troops and running an army are all. The key is to lead a strong army alone. This sentence is to the point, and it also talks about Zhao Huaili's pride.
You know, even if you are a major general and brigade commander in the direct line of the Central Army, although your official position and status can be regarded as barely entering the ranks of senior officers, if you can't bear to have too many mothers-in-law on your head, any division commander or army commander can yell at you.
Come and drink, and when it comes to fighting, you can only follow orders, and you don't have your own ideas and opinions.
It's different in the Independent Brigade, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters. There are a lot less mothers-in-law on the head, and naturally there is a lot less noise. Moreover, the Independent Brigade is now alone. It seems to be far away from the center, but it is
It's a lot more comfortable.
It can be said that in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Hukou, Zhao Huaili can say one thing, but others dare not say two. It can be said that he has great power and can kill as he pleases. Do you think he feels comfortable or not?
