Chapter 482: Madness (Third Watch)
Sun Boyong finally came back from Heshun County, and in the past few days, he personally took people to Heshun County, just to be able to find a factory to dye the cloth into the color of Liao Fan's military uniform, but Sun Boyong found several factories and said that this process was too difficult, even if Sun Boyong promised to add money, they couldn't do it.
In the end, Sun Boyong remembered that Liao Fan asked him to find the old county magistrate, and the old county magistrate told Sun Boyong through his channel that he did have a way, but this was a difficult deal, and the old county magistrate was unwilling to do Sun Boyong's business.
When the old county magistrate learned that Sun Boyong was Liao Fan's logistics minister, he immediately agreed to be willing to do this matter for Liao Fan, and only charged the capital, and did not want the rest of the money. Hearing that he didn't want money, Sun Boyong was of course willing.
However, the old county magistrate had one condition, that is, to come to Taihang Mountain to see Liao Fan.
"What? The old man is here? Liao Fan looked at Sun Boyong in surprise, let you go to Heshun County to do something, why did you bring this old guy.
Sun Boyong nodded.
"Well, a few of you deal with it first, I'll go to the toilet!" Liao Fan immediately decided to slip away and couldn't see the old man.
But the old county magistrate had already arrived at the door of the headquarters: "Commander Liao, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen you for many days, have you forgotten the old man?" Before the old county magistrate's feet entered the headquarters, the words reached the ears of everyone in the headquarters.
"Old man, why are you here, you have to tell me in advance, I will arrange someone to pick you up, this world is messy, you are always wrong, how can I explain to the people of Heshun County!" Liao Fan's attitude changed immediately, and the panic just now disappeared without a trace, as if he had received a distinguished guest from afar.
"Commander Liao, are you telling the truth?" The old man is a character like Jingjing, how can he not see the panic in Liao Fan's eyes.
Liao Fan is the kind of master who doesn't admit it even if he is killed, especially in front of the old man: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can be learned!" β
"Haha, Commander Liao, I came here this time to bring my granddaughter by the way!" The old man smiled happily.
"Old county magistrate, please sit inside first, and I'll go make you tea!" Li Lingfei let the old county magistrate into the headquarters.
Behind the old county magistrate was the granddaughter of the old county magistrate, but in front of so many people, a girl's family was a little shy, and she just lowered her head and looked at her feet along the way. Liao Fan was not interested in the granddaughter of the old county magistrate, so he could only keep his eyes open, hoping that the old county magistrate would not misunderstand him too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the girl's family.
However, Huang Changsheng, who was reporting the situation to Liao Fan, glanced at the granddaughter of the old county magistrate, but his eyes were always on the girl's body, and he couldn't leave for a long time.
"Old man, I've already made it clear to you what happened last time, and I already have a fiancΓ©e, it's really inappropriate for you to do this!" Of course, Liao Fan knew the old man's thoughts, and refused before the old man could speak.
"This time I came to Commander Liao, a business matter, a private matter, my old man's butt has not yet been hot, and Commander Liao has the idea of picking up customers, which does not match Commander Liao's enthusiasm just now!" The old man still had a smile on his face, and said happily.
"Old man, don't make fun of me, your granddaughter is not as beautiful as a fairy, but at least she has the beauty of a sinking fish and a wild goose! If the old man really wants to involve this private matter with official business, then it is okay not to listen to this official matter! β
Liao Fan knows that this kind of thing is most afraid of giving hope to the parties, this is obviously an impossible thing, why does the old man have to fall in love with his grandson-in-law.
In fact, from the perspective of the old man, it is easy to understand that in today's troubled times, a person like the old man who has such a big business is most likely to be disastrous in the family business that he has worked hard to accumulate after a hundred years. And at this time, Liao Fan happened to appear in front of him, young and promising, in charge of tens of thousands of horses, the future is unlimited, of course the old man can put his entire family business on him.
"In that case, I won't be embarrassed for Commander Liao," the old county magistrate sighed and said, "It's better to leave Xinxin in Taihang Mountain, how about you find her a job?" The girl is also older, so she can't always stay at home, right? β
Until now, Liao Fan remembered that the granddaughter of the old county magistrate was called Kang Xin, but if Kang Xin was really left behind, what would Fu Hongyu think about this matter? But if Kang Xin is not left behind, I am afraid that the old man will threaten him with official affairs again.
Liao Fan comforted himself, everything is for the public, and it is time to dedicate himself to the official business.
"Okay, in that case, I'll arrange your granddaughter, but old man, do you really feel at ease to put such a beautiful granddaughter here with me?" Although Liao Fan promised to stay with Kang Xin, he was still unhappy in his heart.
"Commander Liao, don't worry, if something goes wrong, I will definitely not trouble you, old man!"
"Old man, I am relieved of you, but what about those people in your family, I can't believe them!" Liao Fan said to the old man.
Liao Fan is nothing more than worried about the old man's son, he knows that the old man's three sons are very difficult to entangle.
The old county magistrate was silent, apparently he knew his son better.
"With Commander Liao's ability, he shouldn't be afraid of my three sons, right? If after a hundred years, they did do the act of committing traitors, Commander Liao would deal with them with the law severely! β
Liao Fan thought for a while, looked at the old man and said, "Shouldn't we talk about business next?" β
"Minister Sun found me and asked me to dye a batch of military cloth for you, dissatisfied with General Liao, and said that this batch of cloth can only be done by our family in the entire Heshun County!" The old county magistrate was quite proud of his family's affairs, this was a business he had single-handedly founded, and he was indeed proud enough to be able to support such a large family business during the war years.
"It turned out to be a matter of dyeing fabrics, and this matter is not a troublesome thing for the old county magistrate! Then thank the old county magistrate for his help! As for the price, Minister Sun should have negotiated with you, the old man, right? How much money should be how much is how much, I Liao Fan will never take advantage of my own people! β
"I came this time to ask Commander Liao how many military uniforms he plans to make?"
"Hmm......" Liao Fan thought about it, the number of troops is indeed quite a lot, according to two pieces per person, if you add those captive soldiers, there will be more than 100,000 military uniforms, this is a big project, "Why don't you order 80,000 military uniforms first?" β
"80,000 pieces of military uniforms is not a small number, a month is calculated according to 10,000 pieces, it will take eight months!" The old county magistrate silently calculated, "And I'm afraid it's difficult to produce 10,000 pieces of military uniforms a month." β
"How about five thousand pieces a month?" Liao Fan also knew that the intensity of this work was a bit too high.
"According to 10,000 pieces a month, I can't find you more dyeing workshops, and strive to pay all the numbers within half a year!" The old man seemed to have made a great determination.
"Then thank you, old man, why don't you have a few more drinks with me tonight?" Liao Fan smiled and kept the old county magistrate.
"I still won't stay here, lest Commander Liao see the old man and I feel uncomfortable, so my granddaughter will be handed over, I hope Commander Liao will help me take good care of him!" The old county magistrate got up and took his leave.
After the old county magistrate left, Hu Guoshan and the others were already waiting honestly at the gate of the headquarters, they were physically punished by Liao Fan this morning, and they did not start to select soldiers until the afternoon, but according to Liao Fan's requirements, each division can only select 5,000 soldiers, if there is more than one person, none of the four division commanders wants to take any prisoners from here.
The process of selecting soldiers was not very smooth, especially after the special combat team was selected, the prisoners understood that the New 33rd Army was recruiting soldiers from among them, and some company commanders of the Central Army knew about it, and quietly united many people to resist this matter.
However, Liao Fan, the commander of the New 33rd Army, is a big hooligan, and a group of gangsters playing hooligans with a big hooligan will definitely not have any good results. The officers of the Central Army who took the lead in making trouble were all imprisoned in a small black room by Liao Fan, and let them think about it, of course these people would not stay in Taihang Mountain anymore.
Just when the four division commanders were selecting people, Wang Haoran finally knew about it, he was the main person in charge of the Chongqing office in Taihang Mountain, of course, he couldn't watch his family's troops being divided by Liao Fan.
is a mere colonel, Liao Fan's dignified lieutenant general, he doesn't need to be a hooligan, he can crush Wang Haoran to death with just his military rank.
Wang Haoran had no choice but to report this matter to Chongqing.
Zhongtiao Mountain was defeated, and the 200,000-strong army only saved 80,000 or 90,000 people, which was really more devastating to Chairman Chiang than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the roof leak happened to rain overnight, which is the best way to describe Chairman Chiang's mood at this moment.
However, there was one thing that made him a little more excited, that is, Xue Yue had blocked the Japanese attack in Changsha, as long as the troops in southern Gan arrived at the battlefield, Xue Yue would encircle the Japanese army and encircle and annihilate the invading enemy.
Chairman Jiang was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, he had been tired enough in the past few days, and he had finally stolen an hour of leisure, and he only squinted for a while.
However, where is there a half-point of leisure in the stormy country, Chen Cheng is the chief person in charge of the office in Taihang Mountain, and today he received a telegram from Wang Haoran, which made him feel terrified.
"Commission, telegram from Taihang Mountain!" Chen Cheng reported to Chairman Chiang.
"A telegram from Taihang Mountain? Could it be that he Liao Fan wants to warn us about something? "Chairman Jiang is very dissatisfied with Liao Fan, why Liao Fan can always anticipate him first.
Chen Cheng didn't speak, but handed the telegram to Chairman Chiang, and he really didn't know how to say it.
After reading the telegram, Chairman Jiang's face was full of surprise: "This is a good thing, Taihang Mountain has rescued 38,000 of our soldiers, and I want to reward Liao Fan well!" "Chairman Jiang felt that the defeat of Zhongtiao Mountain was nothing at this moment, and the soldiers who were captured by the Japanese army were rescued by Liao Fan, which was great news.
However, Chairman Jiang suddenly thought of something wrong, and then looked at Chen Cheng's expression, and his heart "chuckled".
"He, Liao Fan, is taking advantage of the fire to rob! I'm going to remove him from all his military duties!" Chairman Chiang, who had come back to his senses, tore the telegram to shreds and then shouted loudly.
According to Wang Haoran, Liao Fan has already imprisoned all our officers of the Central Army, and the four division commanders under him are also dividing up those prisoners, I'm afraid we will ......," Chen Cheng said.
Chairman Jiang's face was flushed with anger: "Telegraph to Liao Fan, let him send all our soldiers back, otherwise he will bear the consequences!" β
"The ...... of the commission," Chen Cheng wanted to say something more.
But Chairman Chiang didn't give him a chance to speak: "Go!" Why are you still stunned? β
Chen Cheng had no choice but to leave Chairman Jiang's official residence and give the final order to Taihang Mountain. However, only an hour later, Chen Cheng received a telegram from Taihang Mountain again, but this time he did not have the courage to report it to Chairman Chiang, who was worried that he would vomit blood after seeing the telegram.
