Although he was a little puzzled, Jiang Li was quite happy when he thought that the work of integrating the military and the civilian population of the army could be done to such an extent.

Letting go of his depressed mood and smiling loudly at Zhao Xiaojing, Jiang Li took a step forward and said, "Since the masses are so enthusiastic, we can't make people wait for a long time." Commissar, let's go and have a look. ”

It was quite embarrassing to hide from the rain all the way, but the formation of the first division was not too messy.

Three or two steps to the gate of the campsite, which had no walls and gates at all, before he got closer, Jiang Li saw a group of men, women and children, leading horses and horses, driving cars, if it weren't for a few motorcycles mixed in, Jiang Li almost thought that this was ancient times.

At this time, the two soldiers on duty tried their best to calm the emotions of the people who came, until they saw the figures of Jiang Li and Zhao Xiaojing, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The herdsmen in front of them were too enthusiastic, but they knew nothing about the discipline of the troops.

If it weren't for the two of them, I am afraid that I would have led the tall horse into the camp with local specialties by this time.

The most important thing is that reasoning doesn't make sense, and the obstruction of the two almost caused these people to misunderstand.

Under this kind of contradictory exchange, Jiang Li was finally hoped.

"Commander, these people just want to bring local products to come in and comfort us. The two of us talk about it, but people think we are big. Come and persuade you. ”

The situation between the military and the people that the local military sub-district has cultivated with great difficulty must not be destroyed all at once because of these newcomers. Thinking of this pressure, the eyes of the two fighters who looked at Jiang Li were shining.

Hearing the whispered grievances of the two soldiers, Jiang Li raised his eyes and looked at the crowd who came to support the army not far away.

The leader is an old man with an old name.

The prairie has been exposed to the wind and sun for a lifetime, and the dark face has been washed out of the ravines by the torrent of time. Only in this dim sky can you see from that lean face that he was also a handsome guy back then.

The rickety back, and the hoop legs of the horse, could not be concealed even if they were dressed in costumes. For a while, Jiang Li saw his old father through the figure on his face, which fused with excitement and expectation.

After carefully looking at the old man a few times, Jiang Li focused on the sturdy young men behind him.

The same dark face, but the eyes showed innocence, no different from the recruits from the steppe he had seen over the years.

Jiang Li turned his head to give Zhao Xiaojing a gesture, and the two greeted him very tacitly.

"Old man, I'm sorry, it's our fighters who are not sensible. We are the people's soldiers, and there is no reason to stop our people from entering. I'll see if I'll clean him up later. ”

Holding the old man's hand, Jiang Li sincerely apologized.

"You see, so many brothers and sisters have come from afar, but I am very moved. Quick, please come in. Although the rules say that identity verification is mandatory, the rules are dead, and people are alive. ”

"You have to be satisfied with our soldiers for a while, and you can just make up the information and register when you leave. No big deal. ”

Put your posture very low, such an attitude just satisfies the old man's little temper. For a moment, the old man grinned, and then nodded at the men, women, and children behind him:

"It's still this chief who is sensible, big guy, quickly take out your ID card and let our comrades soldiers check it. Ga Wazi reminded me when the loss came, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get in today. ”

When he turned around, the old man proudly took out a cloth bag from his gorgeous clothes, took out his ID card from a stack of fragmentary banknotes, and took the lead in handing it over to the two soldiers on duty.

"Ga Wazi is my grandson, and the year before last, he went with others hundreds of miles away to set up network cables for your PLA, and I know a lot. I brought him here today, and he insisted on telling me that he had seen all the aircraft cannons, and there was nothing to see. ”

"Young people, don't know how to do things, and don't know that we have a stable life because of you."

Although he said this, it can be seen that the old man is still very satisfied with his grandson.

Jiang Li smiled and agreed, and the old man continued to start his chatter: "Our place, everything else is fine, but this God is unforgiving." ”

"The place you just came to was fine at noon, and when there was a thunderclap, it rained immediately."

Although there was some nagging, but listening patiently, Jiang Li seemed to feel that he could get a lot of valuable information about fighting on the prairie from the old man's mouth. With this purpose in mind, Jiang Li took the initiative to chat with the old man.

Most of the people who came as he spoke had already registered.

Although there were two women holding children who did not bring ID cards, Jiang Li still let them in very accommodating in order not to chill these people. Amid the messy sound of mules, horses, and carts, a group of people all entered the makeshift camp.

Jiang Li, who was willing to get useful information from the old man's mouth, instructed the cooking class to make a few dishes urgently.

In the makeshift anti-aircraft tents, the crowd and officers of the 1st Division sat on either side of several tables.

According to Jiang Li's plan, these people were first allowed to eat and drink well, and then before they maneuvered, they could visit some basic equipment and facilities. Of course, this degree needs to be grasped by Zhao Xiaojing, a political commissar who is good at mingling with the masses.

"Old man, we're here this time to conduct a drill. But as you can see, as soon as we arrived in the grassland, this god gave us a dismount. ”

Although the old man didn't ask, Jiang Li still took the initiative to reveal some unclassified information to pave the way for the next consultation.

Sure enough, when the old man heard this, he put down the chopsticks he had just raised.

didn't care about wiping his mouth, the old man said very enthusiastically:

"Hey, I'm saying what kind of wind is blowing you here, and here is the exercise. I know that there are many secrets in the army, so I won't ask more. But I've lived in this prairie for decades, chief, if you have anything to do with me, just say. ”

That's what Jiang Li wants.

Originally, the arrangement of the seats on both sides of the long table was that the officers and the crowd sat apart, but Jiang Li only moved slightly in the direction of the old man's house, and the two got together.

"Thank you so much, old man, I don't need a master like you for guidance now. If nothing else, at least don't be carried away by this heavy rain. ”

Without explaining that the rain just now was artificial rain from the Blue Army Brigade, Jiang Li winked at the officers present, and then began to ask questions to the old man like a primary school student.

For a time, the tent was unprecedentedly lively.
