Chapter 39: Visiting (1)

  Huang Yue'er, who was drowsy and sleepy, suddenly heard Wang Changhu's loud shout and her face turned bright red. "Pfft!" she said, "Just because you're going to serve me in bed, you think you can bully people? You scoundrel!"

  Wang Changhu was in a good mood, helping the soldiers who had come forward to put down Huang Yue'er. As soon as Huang Yue'er was put down, she fell into Wang Changhu's arms. She just wanted to push away Wang Changhu, but Wang Changhu forcefully pulled her into his arms and walked into Li Xiao's bedroom. Wang Changhu gently placed Huang Yue'er on Li Xiao's bed, covered her with a quilt, and softly said: "Don't do stupid things in the future, rest for now."

  Huang Yue'er nodded obediently; Wang Changhu turned around and was about to leave, when Huang Yue'er suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said: "I'm scared."

  Wang Changhu grasped her small hand and said to her: "Then I'll accompany you for a while, go to sleep."

  Huang Yue'er looked at Wang Changhu with a blush and said: "That... that... how will I repay the debt I owe you in the future?"

  "Pay up! If you can't pay, use your body as collateral!"

  "Huang Yue'er lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying: 'Then can my two senior sisters also repay the debt like this?'"

  Wang Changhu pointed to Huang Yue's forehead with his finger and said, "Silly girl, you are you, they are them, not the same, at least they are not as kind as you. Alright, go to sleep, I will keep your sister's matter in mind."

  Before long, Huang Yue'er fell asleep.

  Wang Changhu quietly exited Li Xiao's bedroom, called over two old brothers to act as guards, and himself wandered around leisurely.

  At this time, the military officer selected 350 logistics officers and soldiers and 50 junior officers to bring them in front of Wang Changtiger.

  "The quartermaster reported: 'Sir, there are 350 logistics personnel and 50 junior officers, all present. Please give instructions.'"

  Wang Changhu nodded and said: "Not bad, you've done a great job. I'll give you some rewards later."

  The quartermaster said: "Boss, I don't want anything, just let me owe you some money, please?"

  Wang Changhu was taken aback and revealed a smile that he thought was very kind, saying: "Are you really willing to owe me money?"

  The military officer said: "I'm willing, many of our brothers here are also willing, aren't you, brothers?"

  Many comrades in the team shouted: "Yes, we've all heard that the more you owe, the more you are brothers, isn't that right, officer?"

  Wang Changhu was delighted, waving his hand at everyone and saying: "Since you all think so highly of me, I'll say a couple of things first; First of all, as long as you come to my team, you are all my brothers. Don't think that just because you owe me money, you can do whatever you want. You must also undergo strict training and be diligent in your duties. Brothers, we are doing a life-and-death job, it's a matter of losing our heads, only with strict training can we keep your lives safe on the battlefield, that is truly good for you; Everyone came to me today, I couldn't not show my appreciation, send the officers from your team to Hu's staff, then this afternoon organize your team into a battalion of three companies, tonight we'll celebrate, add some dishes, each table will have an extra large jar of wine, new recruits don't need to attend. After you've finished signing the IOU, just keep it, also pass on my words to every head, tell them what I said."

  Wang Changhu rushed to salute everyone. Everyone "slapped" back a salute; Wang Changhu turned and left. All the soldiers surrounded the quartermaster, saying: "Give me an IOU, give me, give me..."

  Wang Changhu smiled and shook his head, saying: "A bunch of rascals."

  The two of them stared blankly: Have we come to a fool's den?!

  In the afternoon military training, almost all soldiers knew that there was a party tonight, and everyone's enthusiasm was high. During the training, it seemed like they had been injected with chicken blood, full of energy, and the four-hour training was completed in three hours.

  Liu Fang told the matter to Wang Changhu, and Wang Changhu smiled and said: "There will be an emergency assembly tonight. Those who get up late will have to run at least 5,000 meters."

  Liu Fang stuck out his tongue and replied: "Yes."

  Because everyone finished training relatively early, dinner also started an hour earlier in a corner of the cafeteria. The logistics soldiers set up a small stage for performances during the get-together. Many soldiers were changing clothes and preparing to take the stage.

  First, Wang Changhu spoke: "Brothers and sisters, we gather here is fate, for our gathering here, let's have a drink first; after finishing speaking, Wang Changhu raised his wine glass to toast all the soldiers, old soldiers drank liquor, new recruits held white water and drank together. Everyone drank very happily.

  Wang Changhu poured another cup of wine and said, "This second cup is dedicated to everyone present. I hope that you will all undergo arduous training, diligently hone your skills, and in the future bravely fight on the battlefield, achieving great merits."

  Everyone shouted: "Good, let's go!" and then they all fell silent at once.

  The third cup of wine is for all the leaders to toast everyone, wishing our team to grow stronger and stronger, with greater fighting power, cheers!

  Wang Changhu didn't say much, and the wine was not drunk in vain. Wang Changhu finished his toast and sat down at the first table near the stage to enjoy the show; after a while, the emcee came out to announce the first program: Program 20: Life, Love, Underwear.

  Only four or five soldiers put on their white pants and lay down on the wooden board, symbolizing a bed, and fell asleep. After a while, a thief in black clothes quietly walked to the bedside, with the words "Old Soldier" written on his chest.

  Wang Changhu was taken aback and said: "What's going on here?"

  Ouyang Qing said irritably: "Go back and ask your wife."

  Hu Jingzhong said: "The other day, everyone was tortured by you, and they had no underwear to wear, so they went to buy new soldiers' underwear. This play might be about that time!"

  Only to see that old soldier taking off the new recruit's underwear one by one, when he got to the last one, the new recruit suddenly woke up and the two of them engaged in a fierce struggle for the underwear. In the end, the new recruit's underwear was saved with everyone's support. At this time, the soldier recited a poem with tears streaming down his face: "Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it's for underwear, both can be thrown away." Everyone bowed and left the stage.

  The new recruits applauded loudly, while the old soldiers' faces turned red for a moment, then white, feeling very uncomfortable.

  At this time, Wang Changhu stood up and said two sentences: "Brothers, I saw the fighting spirit of new soldiers in this play, and also saw the hope of new soldiers; there is a saying that goes well: wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit; there must be competition to make progress. In the future, all allocations in our team except for eating will be made up for by lack, and when fighting, if you grab a machine gun, use it, if you grab a rifle, use it, if you don't grab anything, sorry, you have to make your own weapons. If you capture weapons and see what you like, you can exchange with others or buy with money, the profit belongs to yourself. As for the captured goods of the column, 30% will be deducted from each unit's spoils, and the rest will belong to everyone; however, I remind you that each unit should also retain some as ammunition reserves, otherwise, if we lose the battle, we will lose our heads."

  The old soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the boss! Long live the boss!"

  The new recruits' heads drooped all at once;

  Wang Changhu's face turned red with rage, and he shouted: "You're finished! You're a good-for-nothing! I'll give you one chance to get the weapons. If you don't have them, take your head to the battlefield and get them for me. If you can't, then sorry, I'll kill you on the spot!"

  This decision directly led to the birth of "wolf pack tactics" in naval warfare history!

  Wang Changhu finished speaking and took Li Xiao away, while other cadres saw them off at the door. Wang Changhu turned around and said to everyone: "Let them have a good time tonight, tomorrow morning we will hold an emergency assembly, training must be strict, mistakes and errors must be caught accurately, I don't want to see today's situation again, do you understand?"

  Everyone replied: "Yes."

  Wang Changhu and Li Xiao got into the car and headed in the direction of the constabulary. When they arrived at the intersection, the car stopped, and Wang Changhu and Li Xiao walked towards a small tavern to ask about Zhang San's residence. As soon as they reached the entrance of the tavern, someone came out from inside. Upon seeing that it was the owner of the tavern, Wang Changhu greeted him, saying: "Hello!"

  The tavern owner nodded and asked: "Are you looking for Mr. Chang?"

  Wang Changhu was taken aback, and then he nodded; The tavern owner pointed at Li Xiao and asked: "Who is this?"

  Wang Changhu replied: "My secretary Li Xiao."

  The tavern owner nodded and said: "Come with me!"
