"First...sir, I...I...I don't have this ability. Sir...you...find someone else."
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm asking you to take charge of the earthwork team now, and you will be the captain of the earthwork team! You have to take charge now. If you have any problems, just talk to the king worker over there. I understand!"
After Liang Jinkai said these words, he waved his hands and left, leaving behind the demented official.
When the official turned around, he saw migrant workers in their twenties, thirties, or even thirties and forties, all looking at him with shovels.
He puffed up the air in his stomach and said loudly: "Work, everyone works! If you don't work, you won't get any money!"
This sentence really worked, and those people started working immediately.

By the evening of that day, the official was not only sweating again, but also yelling and breaking his throat.
He kept saying: "Brother, dig according to the line. You must dig according to the line." Or he said: "Uncle, fill the soil into the depression over there. When it rains, there will be water there."
He could roughly tell that the site was quite large. The first warehouse was being topped out and would be completed soon. The construction team was digging the foundation of the second warehouse nearby.
The only thing he couldn't figure out was why the warehouse was built here! It was so remote here!
As the sky darkened, the migrant workers stopped and stared at him motionless.
The high-ranking official suddenly understood that the migrant workers were waiting for him to pay them! Oh, where do I have the money?
He turned around and saw Wang Gong sitting in front of the warehouse door, and ran towards him.
He said: "Mr. Wang, our earthwork team needs... to..."
Wang Gong said: "How many are you?"
The senior official was surprised. He only knew that there were more than thirty people in the earthwork team, but he didn't know how many there were.
He hurriedly ran back, counted the migrant workers at work, and then ran back and said, "Mr. Wang, there are thirty-three of us."
Mr. Wang took out a wad of money and seemed to have prepared it a long time ago. "This is sixty-nine yuan. Count it and sign here." He pushed a form in front of the official.
The official swallowed the saliva in his mouth and said carefully: "Mr. Wang, there are...there are thirty-three of us."
Wang Gong said: "Thirty-three people, it's sixty-six yuan. You are the captain, plus three yuan. Sign it!"
The senior official was walking on the way back, smiling from ear to ear. Oh my god, I can be a captain for one day for five yuan! It’s great! No wonder people want to be officials! Being an official has its benefits! Hijikata
The captain of the team is also an official!

The Japanese have already charted a path! After much deliberation, the Japanese have indeed charted a path for us!
Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang, these three thieves, discussed it all night and finally made a decision to follow the path drawn by the Japanese! Otherwise it will not work!
Taking the first step in this direction, they sneered at each other and decided to visit the commander-in-chief of the Changsha Garrison Command, Chief Luo Bingli, today.
Erlipai, where Changsha Security Headquarters is located, is located in the eastern suburbs of Changsha. Because it is a suburb, it was not destroyed by the fire.
The Ninth War Zone Headquarters is also located in Erlipai, occupying the former Tang Shengzhi's mansion. The Garrison Headquarters uses a former middle school, and the venue is quite spacious.
After Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang arrived at the security headquarters, they told the guards at the door and quickly let them in. A young officer took them into Commander Luo Bingli's office.

The look in Chief Luo's eyes at this time was completely different from the last time Chen Zifeng and the others saw him. It contained an abyss of pain and depression! It seemed that he had already understood the purpose of Chen Zifeng and others!
Chen Zifeng said respectfully: "Sir, we are ordered by Commander Li of the war zone to continue investigating the death case of Sha Wantong."
Chief Luo waved his hand to him and said after a moment of silence: "I understand, I understand. Last time, I said I didn't know there was this person, which was wrong. He used to be my adjutant. I didn't tell the truth last time, and it was very difficult for me to tell the truth."
Feel sorry."
The smile on Chen Zifeng's face became brighter and he said: "Sir, let me ask, why? Please explain it."
Chief Luo was silent for a long time again. He suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
He turned back to Chen Zifeng and said, "Please come here and have a look. Maybe you can understand."
Chen Zifeng and others walked to the window and looked outside.
Outside is the playground of the former middle school. At this time, some soldiers are practicing on the playground. It's just some soldiers practicing. They don't understand what Commander Luo means.
Chief Luo said: "Please pay attention to their weapons and military uniforms."
When Chen Zifeng and the others took a closer look, they saw a problem.
There were three companies practicing on the playground, probably a battalion. But the weapons they placed beside the playground only had three Czech light machine guns, which were very old.
This level of equipment is the same for Shanxi's Fourth Army! Each company only has one light machine gun! The firepower is not strong!
Looking at the rifles carried on the shoulders of the soldiers is even more surprising.
Most of the soldiers carry Type 79 rifles, which is okay. In the national army, Type 79 rifles are still the dominant weapon! But some of the soldiers don’t have guns! What they carry on their shoulders is just a piece of wood.
stick!
The military uniforms they wore were also very poor. They looked like plain cloth and were very flimsy. Some soldiers had patches on their shoulders or knees. They wore cloth shoes with toes exposed, and some even wore straw sandals.
of!
These are the clothes and equipment of the local miscellaneous army! How can such an army go to the battlefield?
Commander Luo said softly: "This army is the team I raised from my hometown during the Northern Expedition! Later it was expanded into a regiment, and later it was expanded into a division! The 198th Division! All weapons and equipment,
I have to find a way to solve it myself! Please tell me how I can solve it!"
Chen Zifeng and others were a little dazed. Looking at the stern-faced Chief Luo, they didn't know what to say.
Commander Luo's eyes were already quite heavy, and there was even more pain hidden in them. "What I look forward to most is to take this unit to the battlefield again! But what will happen if such a unit goes to the battlefield? I believe you can definitely see it!"
All three of Chen Zifeng could see clearly that Commander Luo's 198th Division was actually a miscellaneous force among the miscellaneous troops! Such troops would collapse at the first touch on the battlefield! It's not that they were unwilling to fight, it was because their weapons and equipment could not withstand the fight.

Commander-in-Chief Luo Bingli sat behind his desk again and looked at Chen Zifeng and others opposite him motionlessly with heavy eyes for a long time.
He said calmly: "Captain Chen, you see, I have the rank of lieutenant general, I am very powerful! Just because I am from the Huangpu First Phase, I am still the chairman's student! You see, it is very honorable for me to be the commander-in-chief of the security!"
Just because of a fire in Changsha, my predecessor was shot! No one was willing to take care of this mess! That’s why it fell on my head!"
Chen Zifeng and others looked at Chief Luo and simply didn't know what to say!
Chief Luo's eyes gradually became stern, "I tell you, the Japanese army will attack Changsha soon! That's for sure! But what will happen after the battle is over! This army of mine is just a number of deaths! I know
This is the result! I watch them practice every day, and this is what I think about! But I can’t help it! There is nothing I can do!”
Chen Zifeng whispered: "Sir, I guess you must have thought of something!"
Chief Luo said: "My army only gets a small amount of funds every year. After eating, there is nothing left. I have appealed to all aspects, high and low, but to no avail! In the Tamura arms warehouse in the west of the city,
Do you know that there are a large number of weapons and ammunition stored there?"
"Sir, I know. Director Jiao is here with that batch of ammunition."
"It's him! Now, this batch of ammunition belongs to Long Yun in Yunnan! We're just waiting for his newly formed army to arrive to receive it!"
"Sir, do you want those ammunition?"
"Needless to say! I really want it! I just lack weapons and ammunition! I once asked Jiao Juncai if it was possible, give me some! He said, sir, that would cost a lot of money! Let me tell you, I don't have any
Money! My savings can’t even buy ten guns! But don’t give me too many weapons and ammunition, just give me a small part, and my army will be different!”
"and after?"
"Later, one day, Sha Wantong told me the news that there was a large amount of silver hidden somewhere in Changsha! I don't know if it was silver ingots or silver coins! He had been looking for a person named Yan Boling! He said, only
This man knows! He said that as long as we can get a small part, that will be enough!"
"Sir, what money?"
"I don't know! All I know is what I just said to you! Sha Wantong is looking for the money! I told him, you are causing trouble for yourself! He said, sir, I am resigning.
That’s it! I found it and brought it back quietly! Buy equipment for our troops! He said, sir, with the new equipment, we can go to the battlefield!"
Officer Luo's face was still serious, but there were tears in his eyes.
"It's a pity that he died inexplicably like this! Taking away all my last hope! I just want to know who killed him! Let me find it. I would rather the commander was wrong than to avenge him.
This revenge!"
Chief Luo stared at Chen Zifeng motionless, gritted his teeth and said: "Captain Chen, can you find the murderer!"
Chen Zifeng stood up and said with a serious face: "Sir, I will definitely find the murderer!"
Officer Luo stared at him for a moment, then stood up and walked to the door, opened it, and waved out.
After a while, a young officer came in and stood at attention and saluted him.
Commander Luo said: "Captain Chen, this is my guard company commander, Lian Guozhang. He is also a good brother of Sha Wantong. From now on, whenever it comes to Sha Wantong's affairs, you can always go to him! He should contribute where he should.
