The commander called Li Zhen his in-laws, Li Zhen was still very strange, it stands to reason that Hu Changgui called his in-laws, why was the commander shouting, but he didn't dare to ask.

Then, Xie Bingyun wanted to go to the kitchen to cook, Li Wanru also followed, and Wang Xiuying also went later, and after eating at Li Wanru's house, several people chatted for a while and went back.

And after Hu Bin sent them back, he was also relieved, and Li Zhen was the same, Hu Bin stayed at Li Zhen's house for a while and went back.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, Hu Bin still has a lot of things to deal with, including the affairs of the army and the arsenal.

Soon it was 30, Hu Bin made the soldiers a lot of tables in his home, at noon, Hu Bin spent a New Year with his family, and at night at home, eating Chinese New Year's Eve with his brothers.

At 12 o'clock, Hu Bin asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram out to greet the people of the country and the anti-Japanese troops in various places.

The next morning, Hu Bin got up and opened the door, everyone greeted each other for the New Year, Hu Bin prepared hundreds of red envelopes at this time, because the children in the neighborhood will come to pay New Year's greetings, Hu Bin needs to give red envelopes to the children.

In the morning, Hu Bin first went home to his parents to pay New Year's greetings, gave his younger brothers and sisters a big red envelope, after breakfast, Hu Bin explained that Mo shot at home, Hu Bin was going to command them to pay New Year's greetings, and he also had to go to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, and he was busy until noon, Hu Bin had a lunch at his uncle's house, and in the afternoon, Hu Bin went to Li Wanru's house.

The next day, that is, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Bin received a notice from the commander-in-chief that Stilwell, the special envoy of the United States, and Wright, the special envoy of the United Kingdom, would come to Yan'an this afternoon, accompanied by Li Zongren and Wei Lihuang, and the commander asked Hu Bin to come to the headquarters. Meet them.

In the afternoon, Hu Bin, on behalf of the commander and commander-in-chief, went to the airport in Yan'an to greet the envoys, and at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed and opened the cabin door, and Li Zongren and Wei Lihuang came down first, followed by many foreigners.

"Commander Lee. Happy New Year, Commander Wei! Hu Bin stood below and saluted.

"Commander Hu, no, I can call you Commander Hu now! Happy New Year! Li Zongren said with a smile.

Hu Bin will return to Hubei after a while, and on the basis of the 99th Army, expand into the 99th Group Army, and Hu Bin is the commander of the Group Army.

"Brother, happy New Year, I haven't seen you for half a year. You're so much fatter! Wei Lihuang said to Hu Bin with a smile.

"Brother, you're not right, you've cheated me!" Hu Bin said with a smile.

"There's no way, I'm quite relieved to take you there, and I'm not very familiar with other people, so I have to order your general." Don't blame the old man! Wei Lihuang said with a smile.

"Come, Brother Hu. Let me introduce you to you, this is General Stilwell, the special envoy of the United States! Li Zongren began to introduce Stilwell to Hu Bin. Then Li Zongren introduced to Stilwell that the person in front of him was the commander of the 99th Group Army, and he would lead troops to Southeast Asia to participate in the war in the future.

"Hello, Your Excellency General Stilwell!" Hu Bin smiled and saluted Stilwell, then shook hands, Hu Bin also brought an interpreter here, and Stilwell also brought one. Then Li Zongren began to introduce the British envoy Wright.

After Hu Bin shook hands with them, Hu Bin also began to introduce the people who came with him, including the headquarters, the command, and the Executive Yuan. There were also several senior cadres of the General Staff, and after introducing each other, Hu Bin asked them to get in the car and took them to the commander's side.

At this time, in Stilwell's car, Stilwell looked at the scenery outside, Yan'an was quite peaceful, and the whole city was still silent in the joy of the Spring Festival.

"Hu Bin, you have to remember, in the evening, you have to send a telegram to the president, this person's status in Yan'an is getting higher and higher, we need to pay attention to this person, this person is very young, let's try to fight for it!" Stilwell said to the secretary beside him.

"Yes!" The secretary in the back nodded.

"However, it's strange today, I found that those people on our list are all standing behind Hu Bin, that is to say, Hu Bin's status is higher than those people, and Hu Bin has risen in recent years, and we haven't even established a file on him now." Stilwell's lieutenant said to Stilwell.

"Yes, China has always been very mysterious, their culture makes them like to hide, so we don't know anything about them at all, plus we don't have much contact with Yan'an, after all, they are in contact with the Soviet Union, but this time, we probably have to change our view of Yan'an.

According to the information I know, there are now more than 1 million troops on the Yan'an side, and they also have their own complete armament system, which is very terrifying, a force hiding in the ravine, actually has its own military industrial system, and their new weapon is very powerful.

The telegram sent from China, you have also seen, now we have to purchase 100,000 of these guns from them, and the British side will also purchase 200,000 such guns, this money is not small for Yan'an, and even for China, therefore, Yan'an will definitely develop rapidly in the future.

We need to build a good relationship with them now, and hope that they will be able to help us hold back the Japanese troops on the battlefield in Asia in the future! Stilwell nodded.

During this time, he also began to study the situation in Yan'an, and the more he studied, the more he found that he didn't understand Yan'an, but he was also more optimistic about Yan'an.

Now Chongqing has no ability to develop new weapons at all, and the entire ruling area is quite corrupt, and a lot of money goes into private pockets, unlike Yan'an, where a lot of money goes into the army, that is, into schools and scientific research institutions, or into the economic field, which is very wise for a force!

"Are we going to change our strategy toward China in the future?" The deputy asked, looking at Stilwell.

"Not yet, let's take a look first, China also hopes to help Britain win the German victory first, and then say, as long as the situation in Asia does not deteriorate further, we will not care about it for now, of course, we need China's help." Stilwell shook his head and said, he attaches great importance to China, but it has not reached a very high level, and now their main enemy is still Germany.

"Yes!" The deputy nodded.

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the headquarters, and the deputy commander went to meet them, the commander and the commander-in-chief did not show up, an envoy was just a special envoy, and there was no need for the commander to come to greet them, the two sides talked for a while in the headquarters compound, and the deputy commander took them to the conference room, the commander sat in front, and then Hu Bin.

"Thank you very much for your meeting, I bothered you this time!" Stilwell spoke. And Wright also greeted the deputy commander.

Then the two sides began to talk briefly, exchanged their views on the current world situation, and the deputy commander invited them to dinner.

After eating, the deputy commander sent them to rest, and Hu Bin and the deputy commander went to the commander's office.

The deputy commander-in-chief brought the commander-in-chief letters from the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, which were sent by the two envoys.

The commander picked it up, handed it to the translator to translate, and then looked at the deputy commander and Hu Bin and said: "Tomorrow Li Zongren and they want to check the armaments, I have already put Commander Peng in charge, and the deputy commander, you and Xiaobin are responsible for negotiating with the United States and the British side to buy weapons, and we also have to fight for some interests in this military dispatch." You two need to cooperate well! ”

"Well, we've got this ready!" The deputy commander nodded and said.

"Commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, I want to preside over tomorrow's negotiations!" Hu Bin suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, as well as the commander-in-chief, all looked at Hu Bin.

"You're hosting? Can you? The commander-in-chief looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Okay, I want to sell more weapons and fight for some profits!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

"What do you mean, Old Zhou?" The commander looked at the deputy commander and asked.

"Let him try?" The deputy commander looked at the commander with a smile and asked.

"Okay, let him try!" The commander-in-chief next to him nodded first.

"Boss. You believe in this kid! The commander looked at the commander-in-chief with a smile and said.

"Of course, how did the money come back before, wasn't it all Xiaobin talking about it?" The commander-in-chief said with a smile.

"Okay, you host tomorrow!" The commander heard the commander-in-chief say this, smiled, nodded and said.

"Okay, thank you Commander-in-Chief, thank you Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" Hu Bin heard it and said quite happily.

He needs a lot of money now, if he can sell more weapons, of course it is the best, and there is also the matter of sending troops to Southeast Asia, he is one of the generals who lead the troops, of course he has to fight for more benefits, this is beneficial to himself.

After Hu Bin went back in the evening, he began to be busy with this matter, during which Li Wanru also came over, and saw that he was busy, so he was afraid of disturbing him, so he went back first.

Hu Bin was preparing to negotiate until midnight, before going to rest, and the next morning, Hu Bin got up early, washed his cold face, changed his clothes, and took Mo Jie, Zhenguo and Zhang Fan to the headquarters.

After breakfast at the headquarters, Hu Bin went to the conference room, and after more than ten minutes, Stilwell and Wright were also brought over, Hu Bin said hello to the two of them, and sat down separately, and there were their respective interpreters next to them, Hu Bin actually knew a lot of English, but now he didn't plan to let people know.

"General Hu, when will we start talking about buying weapons?" Stilwell looked at Hu Bin and asked, he didn't expect that they were negotiating directly with Hu Bin, thinking that there were other people coming! (To be continued.) )
