Chapter 1702 Borrowing guns and bullets
Zhong Yi's words and deeds will inevitably affect everyone around him.
For example, by practicing it, Zhong Yi always insisted on eating a big pot with the soldiers when he was in the army, which inevitably affected Wen Yingxing, the deputy position.
So at this time, Wen Yingxing himself was eating a big pot in the training camp.
Holding the enamel teapot distributed uniformly by the training camp, Wen Yingxing walked out of the kitchen to line up.
The adjutant subconsciously wanted to drive away the strong man in front of him, but Wen Yingxing winked and stopped him.
There is not only one training camp, but a dozen, and each training camp is not only one kitchen, otherwise you can wait for a few hours to queue up for meals.
There are only more than a thousand people in the kitchen where Wen Yingxing is located.
The ten-way columns walked forward in order, and more than one hundred people only took more than ten minutes.
More than ten minutes later, Wen Yingxing, who was at the end of the line, received four corn buns with jade flour and an enamel tea can of corn flour. Then he walked to the corner of the playground with his adjutant and squatted down and began to eat voraciously.
Wen Yingxing's adjutant was named Wen Congning, who was his nephew, who had just been transferred from the 79th Army.
"Xiao Ning, how about the food in our training camp be better than your troops?" Wen Yingxing asked with a smile.
"There is no way to compare this." Wen Congning shook his head and said, "I eat eight treasure rice in the 79th Army. How can I compare it with this? It's incomparable."
Wen Yingxing was stunned: "Eight Treasure Rice? Can you still have Eight Treasure Rice?"
"Uncle, the eight-treasure rice I mentioned is not the eight-treasure rice you think." Wen Congning smiled and said, "The eight-treasure rice I mentioned is not the eight-treasure rice with red dates, longans, lotus seeds, etc., but the eight-treasure rice with rat shit, stones, and wheat bran. If you are not careful, your teeth will be sucked away, damn it."
"So it's such an eight-treasure rice." Wen Yingxing laughed in silence when he heard this.
Wen Congning shook his head and said, "Just-treasure rice like this, you can't eat it open."
"I know this." Wen Yingxing nodded and said, "Other troops can eat two meals a day, which means that the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and the Myanmar War Zone can eat three meals."
"Yes." Wen Congning said with a smile, "Follow my uncle to the Myanmar War Zone and enjoy your happiness."
"This is all the merits of Chief Zhong." Wen Yingxing waved his hand and said, "If he hadn't paid for his private money and ordered millions of tons of corn from the United States, the nearly one million troops in the Zhejiang-Fu War Zone and the Myanmar War Zone would not have such a food standard. Not only do you have enough food for three meals a day, but you can still eat meat every now and then!"
Wen Congning said repeatedly: "What I mean is that it is rare to see officials like Chief Zhong."
Wen Yingxing said in a deep voice: "So we should work harder and try our best to do a good job in training!"
"No need to say that," said Wen Congning, "And you have never been lazy, you are busy until midnight one day? The guard post has changed shifts, and you are still handling official duties."
"This is not enough." Wen Yingxing said, "Conn Ning, you will drive me to Chairman Long's mansion later."
"Go to Longyun's Mansion?" Wen Congning said in surprise, "Uncle, what are you Longyun doing? This is the King of Yunnan."
"Chairman Long is quite polite to me, after all, he still takes care of Chief Zhong's face." Wen Yingxing said again, "I plan to borrow a gun from him, otherwise it would be a solution to always ask the recruits to practice with wooden sticks."
The Myanmar War Zone has just been established, and the equipment provided by the United States has not been delivered yet.
Therefore, it is impossible to equip 500,000 new recruits with guns.
So now, all 500,000 new recruits use wooden sticks as rifles for military training.
But there is a difference between a wooden stick and a real rifle after all, and it is not a big deal to always use a wooden stick.
So Wen Yingxing thought about asking Long Yun to borrow a gun. Even if he could borrow five thousand rifles, it would be better than nothing. At least 500,000 strong men could touch the gun in another way.
If you can borrow some bullets, you can fire a few shots on the recruits.
In this way, when these recruits go to the battlefield, they will have some basic foundation.
...
After breakfast, Wen Congning drove a jeep to Longyun Mansion.
At this time, Long Yun was having breakfast. Last night he played mahjong with someone all night, so he simply ate breakfast first and then went to bed after breakfast.
"Wen Yingxing?" Long Yun said when he heard the adjutant's report, "Please come in."
Because the cooperation in Kunming Industrial Zone was very pleasant, Long Yun and Zhong Yi’s relationship is closer, and he has become much more polite to Wen Yingxing and other Zhong Yi’s subordinates.
Because of his closeness, Long Yun directly invited Wen Yingxing to the restaurant to talk to him.
When Wen Yingxing came in, Long Yun smiled and said, "Hesun, have something together?"
"Bizhi has already had breakfast in the training camp." Wen Yingxing said with a smile.
Long Yun is casual with him, and he must be ignorant. Not everyone is qualified to sit down and have breakfast with Long Yun.
Wen Yingxing's humbleness made Long Yun very satisfied, so Long Yun stopped eating. While taking a towel from the adjutant, he wiped his hands with a smile and said, "You must have something to do when you come to the door early in the morning, right?"
"Chairman Long's clarification." Wen Yingxing nodded, "I came here to ask Chairman Long for help."
"Zi Ren and I are the best friends. Since you are Zi Ren's person, then we are our own people." Long Yun said sighingly, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you! Even if I can't do it, for Zi Ren's sake, I will try every means to do it for you!"
"Thank you, Chairman Long." Wen Yingxing said, "But it's not a difficult thing, a small thing."
Speaking of this, Wen Yingxing said again: "I just want to borrow two thousand guns from Chairman Long and twenty thousand bullets."
"Borrow guns and bullets." Long Yun said in surprise, "Didn't your Myanmar War Zone receive the British-Burma army's supplies? Why did it be consumed so quickly?"
If all the supplies left by the British and Burmese army were consumed, Long Yun would have to take back what he had just said.
Although Yinjiang's arsenal has moved to Kunming, its production capacity has not been restored to its heyday. Moreover, the firearms and ammunition of the Kunming arsenal have to be supplied to various domestic war zones. There is really no way to divide it for the Myanmar war zone. This is what Zhong Yi asked him to speak up personally, and it is useless.
Wen Yingxing quickly explained his purpose.
"Hey, it turns out that it was a gun bullet borrowed for the recruits. This is just a small matter." Long Yun waved his hand and said, "But there are 500,000 recruits in your training camp. Are two thousand guns enough? Otherwise, I will lend you ten thousand guns! But I declare in advance that these ten thousand guns are only lent to you, and they will be returned after they are used up."
"Of course." Wen Yingxing said quickly, "It must be returned, but the bullet cannot be returned."
"That may not be possible. The bullets can be returned. You can return them when the US aid arrives." Long Yun smiled and said, "Twenty thousand bullets are definitely not enough. Five hundred thousand new recruits will have to be five million. But when the US aid is delivered, you have to return 10 million bullets. How about it?"
Wen Yingxing was stunned.
