Bai Jingran asked in surprise: "Sir, what do you want that thing for?"
Generators are a rare thing these days. Not only do most people have not used them, but only a few have seen them.
Su Rui's expression turned bitter. He couldn't say it was because his computer was out of battery and he needed to charge it in a hurry to redeem his items.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I have some things that require electricity. For example, if I want to activate some high-power radio stations, I can't just rely on hand cranks to generate electricity. And you all know the conditions here, let alone the village.
There was no electricity even in the town, so I thought of getting a generator."
"That's right!" Bai Jingran lowered his head and thought for a while, "Generators are not common here. They are only found in government agencies or the army in some big cities. I guess there must be some in Commander Hu Zongnan's Corps Headquarters.
Yes, but the problem is that they may not lend it to us!"
"Is there one at the Legion Headquarters?"
Su Rui's eyes suddenly lit up. This was good news. He quickly asked: "Old Bai, are you still related to Chief Hu?"
Regarding what Suri called him, Bai Jingran could only respond with a helpless smile: "Sir, please don't talk like an old guy. I'm not that old yet."
"It's just a title, why are you so nervous!"
Su Rui waved his hand nonchalantly. After getting acquainted with everyone, he became more and more familiar with himself. When he thought of the generator, Su Rui's eyes began to sparkle, "Since there is a generator in the legion headquarters, then I don't care.
We have to get him here no matter what, otherwise the independent group will be shut down..."
In a compound in Hongfeng Town, the headquarters of the Seventeenth Army Corps
Su Rui was sitting in a living room sipping tea. Guard company commander Luo Jiawo and two guards were standing behind him. While sipping tea, Su Rui looked up and looked around, looking at the glittering surroundings.
He turned on the electric light and listened to the rumbling sound of the generator not far away, and he became increasingly determined to get the generator outside.
Now Suri's laptop has no power and is in urgent need of charging. However, except for big cities, there are no power plants in small places these days. Besides, as a soldier, Suri must travel around, so he got a laptop that can be carried with him.
A generator is a must.
Su Rui asked himself whether he was talented or not, and his ability was not very strong. If he really wanted to develop his ability to lead troops, he would be able to serve as a company commander at best. And the only thing he could rely on in this era was the notebook he carried with him.
Although Su Rui still doesn't understand why this notebook has become so weird, as long as he has this notebook, it means that he has a steady stream of supplies, and he can live well in this era.
While Su Rui was deep in thought, a shout came from the door: "Sir Hu is here!"
As the voice fell, Hu Zongnan, who was not tall but solemn, walked in.
Suri, who had stood up a long time ago, immediately stood at attention and saluted the visitor, "Hello, sir!"
"Well!" Hu Zongnan walked to the chair inside and sat down, waved his hand and said, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Hu Zongnan opened his mouth and asked: "Captain Su, I heard that you have something to do with me?"
Su Rui nodded: "Yes, sir, the staff department does have something to see you for."
When Hu Zongnan heard this, a hint of a smile appeared on his face. He leaned back and said lazily: "I heard that you have been looking for people to raise food these days. Did you come to me today to ask for food?"
Are you asking me to borrow food? I have to tell you in advance that food here is very tight, but I don’t have any extra food to lend you! You should go to your Commander Song for this kind of thing!"
Seeing Hu Zongnan's expressionless expression, Su Rui was secretly angry. It seemed that Hu Zongnan was as mean and ungrateful as history said, with no human touch at all. He knew that Song Xilian had a grudge against him, but he let himself go to him.
, isn’t this deliberately making fun of himself? It is said that even if each of his 60,000 to 70,000 troops saves a mouthful of food, it will be enough to feed his hundreds of people for a month, but he doesn’t even have a chance to speak.
It's really too much of a lie to just close the door.
When he got angry, Su Rui's stubborn temper became stronger. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, sir, for your concern. The staff department is not here for food this time, but for something else."
"Oh? You're not looking for me about food?"
Hu Zongnan sat up straight and looked at Su Rui, with a curious look in his eyes. Su Rui's words really aroused his interest.
To be honest, for Hu Zongnan, the rank of the little colonel in front of him is really too low, so low that he is not even qualified to see him. The reason why Hu Zongnan is willing to see him today is because he saved the world in Nanjing a few days ago.
For the sake of so many colleagues in the military, this does not mean that Hu Zongnan would appreciate this person, because in the eyes of Hu Zongnan and other military leaders, what this colonel did was really a bit out of line.
The reason why Song Xilian made things difficult for him was that Hu Zongnan had also heard about not allocating food and salary, but Hu Zongnan did not think that Song Xilian did anything wrong. It is true that Su Rui saved many people in Nanjing, but what happened? It is public and private.
It was private. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the Ministry of Military Affairs had already expressed their gratitude for Su Rui's behavior by giving him two promotions in a row. However, Su Rui's behavior of recruiting troops without authorization was intolerable to the superiors.
During the Republic of China, one of the important benchmarks for judging whether the central clique and the miscellaneous clique were from Huangpu. In the Central Army, which was almost all from Huangpu, they would involuntarily exclude people who were not from Huangpu clique.
There is no doubt that officers like Su Rui who are not from the Whampoa Military Academy and have never attended a military academy will be ostracized in the Central Military Army. This has almost become a subconscious reaction of the superiors.
Seeing a flash of surprise in Hu Zongnan's eyes, Su Rui pretended to be respectful and said: "The staff department heard that there is a generator in Chief Hu's Corps Headquarters. It happened that the staff department needed it for some things, so I came here shamelessly.
I beg you, sir, to part with this generator. Sir, please don’t refuse in a hurry, please listen to what the department has to say..."
Seeing a trace of anger on Hu Zongnan's face, Su Rui said hurriedly: "Of course the staff department will not ask for the officer's things in vain. It happened that he also brought something with him when he broke out from Nanjing last time. If the officer is willing, the staff department will
You can exchange these things with your superior."
"Okay, you say it!"
A trace of anger flashed in Hu Zongnan's eyes. Hu Zongnan is not a generous-minded person. At the same time, he is also conceited and likes luxury. Although a generator cannot be said to be priceless, here even a box of matches must be imported.
In those days, it was really not easy to get a generator. Even the generator for the Corps Headquarters was something that Hu Zongnan had to ask someone to get with great difficulty.
Now that Su Rui wanted to ask Hu Zongnan for the generator, it really touched Hu Zongnan's nerves. If he hadn't maintained his identity, he would have filed a lawsuit long ago.
He suppressed his anger and said: "Okay, you tell me, I will listen to your explanation!"
Su Rui saw Hu Zongnan's expression in his eyes and sneered in his heart: "This Hu Zongnan has such a big air!"
Although he was very annoyed in his heart, he had to pretend to be respectful on the surface and said with a smile, "It's like this. When the staff came out of Nanjing, they got a batch of western medicine called sulfa powder. This medicine is
An antibacterial drug that is very effective in preventing and treating bacterial infectious diseases. I wonder if Chief Hu is interested in this kind of drug?"
"Sulfonamide powder!" Hu Zongnan couldn't help being surprised when he heard it, and quickly asked: "Is it the new sulfonamide drug that was just invented and produced in France this year and is very effective in treating gunshot wounds and infections?"
Suri nodded: "That's it!"
Hu Zongnan couldn't help but stood up: "Really this kind of medicine? How much do you have?"
In the 1930s, China did not have any particularly effective anti-inflammatory drugs. Soldiers who were injured by gunshots usually could only do a simple bandage, and the rest could only be resigned to fate. If there was no infection, they would survive.
If the wound gets infected, you will most likely die.
Hu Zongnan has seen a lot of these things. This year, he also heard someone say that France invented a sulfonamide powder, which is very effective in suppressing wound infections after gunshot wounds and surgeries. However, the quantity of this drug is too scarce, and the drugs produced
Even European countries are in short supply, let alone flowing into China. Now that he heard that Suri has the goods, how could he not want it? With this thing in hand, he might be able to save his life someday.
Su Rui smiled. If he couldn't see that Hu Zongnante was particularly interested in this kind of medicine at this moment, he would stop messing around. "I'm disappointed, Chief Hu. Our independent group doesn't have much of this kind of medicine, only a few dozen boxes."
, if Chief Hu wants it, I can allocate you fifty boxes, what do you think?"
"What? Only fifty boxes!"
Hu Zongnan couldn't help but said with some disappointment: "Isn't there just a little more? These fifty boxes are enough for what you can do."
"Sir, these medicines are currently on the market at a very low price. A bottle is hard to find. Do you still think there are too few?"
After hearing Hu Zongnan's words, Su Rui naturally quit. Giving you fifty boxes is already a sign of respect for you. What else do you want?
Hu Zongnan waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, then you can send someone to deliver it later."
After waiting for a long time and not hearing Su Rui's answer, Hu Zongnan looked up impatiently and saw Su Rui looking at him with a smile and saying nothing. He couldn't help but secretly hate it, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you will do it later."
Carry that generator back!"
Suri said quickly: "There is still gasoline!"
"Take them all, take them all!"
Hu Zongnan stood up, turned around and walked out angrily.
Seeing Hu Zongnan going out, a smile appeared on Su Rui's face. It seemed that the independent group's food had been secured... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
