Seeing Li Hao's stunned expression, the chief continued.
"I also have an appointment and dismissal order from the Eighth Route Army headquarters here. It is only conveyed to commanders above the brigade, and then the headquarters records it and does not spread it outside."
"From now on, Comrade Li Hao will be removed from the post of head of the garrison regiment, and Comrade Wang Hong, political commissar of the garrison regiment, will be appointed as acting head of the garrison regiment!"
"Because the order is not spread, thousands of soldiers in the garrison do not know that you have been removed from the position of commander. They only know that Comrade Wang Hong is now the acting commander as the political commissar to ensure that the military morale of the garrison is stable."
The expression on Li Hao's face became more and more shocked.
He couldn't understand why he suddenly lost his position as group leader even though he had made no mistake. This was definitely a situation he had never imagined.
Staring at the leader with a pair of big eyes, he asked: "In other words, except for my status as a party member, I am nothing else?"
The leader shook his head and replied: "There is also a lieutenant colonel status, which is an officer status recognized by the Ministry of Military Affairs!"
"Why?" Li Hao's face was filled with confusion.
"Chief! I want to fight and fight the Japanese. I don't agree with leaving the army like this."
"By the way, it must have been the construction of a pharmaceutical factory that made me lose my position as head of the garrison."
"I will not build the pharmaceutical factory. No, I will leave it all to Comrade Lin Xinran. I will not participate. I will go back to Laiyuan now. I want to lead the troops to fight the Japanese."
The chief interrupted with a serious look on his face: "Comrade Li Hao, you have to calm down."
"Although you are no longer the group leader, you are still a party member, and an old party member. As a party member, you must obey orders."
Li Hao forced himself to calm down.
The same question was asked again: "Chief, I want to know why?"
"I followed the Red Army when I was very young, and I really don't want to leave the team. If my superiors think that I am not suitable to be the leader of the garrison regiment, I can be a battalion commander. Anyway, I don't want to leave the team."
The chief looked at Li Hao and replied: "Comrade Li Hao, if I told you that the reason why I removed you from the position of head of the garrison was to protect you, would you believe it?"
"Our team has always been known for its strict military discipline. If you continue to serve as the leader of the garrison and engage in the things you are doing in this position, you will definitely be criticized and your future will be affected."
"A qualified soldier cannot have anything to do with politics, economics... messy things, otherwise a soldier will not be pure."
"If you are removed from the position of group leader, matters related to penicillin will become private matters, and the profits brought by penicillin will also be private to you. We must truly distinguish between public and private. This will not only protect you from criticism, but also protect you from criticism.
Go out of trouble and focus on building up the pharmaceutical factory."
"The pharmaceutical factory is a major event that benefits the country and the people. The sooner it is launched, the sooner the country will benefit and the less the country will suffer."
Li Hao felt like he was enlightened and calmed down completely.
Then come up with your own ideas!
"I understand, but I still don't want to leave the army. I have decided that from now on I will no longer care about the pharmaceutical factory and leave all the rest of the production of penicillin to Comrade Lin Xinran."
"If the superiors think that Comrade Lin Xinran is not capable enough, they can arrange for a capable person to take over."
"And my injury is almost healed now. The troops escorting the weapons will arrive in Chongqing in a few days. I will leave Chongqing with them and return to the army."
"Chief, please tell your superiors what I just thought. I want to lead troops to fight the Japanese."
The leader shook his head and replied: "I will not send this telegram, and I do not agree with your request."
"I fully agree with the order from my superiors. In my eyes, no one is more suitable to build this pharmaceutical factory than you."
"Your report this morning had a great impact on me. To be honest with you, I have my own intention of keeping you in Chongqing."
"I think the role you can play in Chongqing is much greater than being the leader of the garrison."
"As for returning to the army to lead troops, I can tell you for sure that as long as your mission in Chongqing is completed, you can go back at any time."
"Don't forget, your political commissar didn't know about the whole process of removing the commander of the garrison."
Li Hao did not speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought.
No one is more familiar with the next direction of history than him.
Therefore, what the chief said is absolutely correct. Only by setting up a pharmaceutical factory to produce penicillin himself can the value of penicillin be maximized.
Thinking about the base area again, if nothing unexpected happens, we will enter the confrontation stage between ourselves and the enemy for at least half a year, and no large-scale war will break out!
Even if I return to the base now, it doesn't make much sense.
In this case, it is better to stay in Chongqing and use this gap to do something more meaningful.
"Chief, I will execute the order!" Li Hao hesitated for a long time and finally made a decision.
At this moment, his idea is very simple. After finishing penicillin, he will return to the base area and stay in Chongqing for a year at most.
However, Li Hao never imagined that everything could not keep up with the changes, and he had to stay here for nearly three years.
The chief did not realize this. He looked at Li Hao and replied with satisfaction: "Very good!"
"I believe that if you stay in Chongqing, you will definitely make greater contributions to the revolution."
"From now on, you will only report to me if you have anything."
"In order to ensure the safety of you and the entire pharmaceutical factory, your superiors have agreed that all the garrison troops you transferred to Chongqing will stay as guards and temporarily separate from the army."
Li Hao's serious face immediately blossomed with joy.
With the elite commando team at hand, you have a team, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in whatever you want to do.
He immediately replied: "Thank you for your support, Chief. I will definitely live up to the Chief's high expectations. I will definitely make achievements in Chongqing and make new contributions to the revolution."
The chief nodded and began to give orders: "I believe you!"
"I'll give you your first mission now."
"In three days, the rocket launcher trade will begin, and all the weapons and ammunition will be in place."
"I have too much influence in Chongqing. No matter where I go, Japanese and puppet intelligence agents follow me."
"In order to prevent those weapons and ammunition from being exposed prematurely and destroyed by the Japanese and puppet troops, I will definitely not be able to appear at the transaction site."
"So, you, the protagonist, are solely responsible for the entire transaction!"
"I don't care what method you use or how much you pay, you must ensure that the medicines, weapons and ammunition are safely delivered to the escort troops commanded by Commander Chen."
"Then ensure they leave Chongqing safely."
"Please rest assured, chief, I promise to complete the task!"
Li Hao frowned and left the Eighth Route Army office. No one knew what he talked about with the commander there.
When he returned to his residence, he locked himself in the room and no one could come near him.
