Chapter 2: Reluctantly Joining the Army (Second Update)

  Lin Hu, he fought fiercely, his troops had considerable combat effectiveness! Historically, the evaluation of this person is quite high, an anti-Sun model. A key figure in the old Gui system.

  Lin Hu wore an eight-character beard, and the armor on his body supported his spirit at this moment. Mao Feng's body was very straight, he said without humility or arrogance: "I have seen the superior officer!"

  Lin Hu didn't give a clear answer and said: "Hm, you're that Mao Fengzi?"

  Mao Feng calmly responded: "It is indeed I!"

  Lin Hu said to Mao Feng: "I know some of your situation, a Zhejiang native, what are you doing here?"

  This is a very obvious interrogation, and it's also a necessary process. It can deceive the big-headed soldiers, but for someone like Lin Hu, it won't be that easy to deceive.

  Maofeng knew that he couldn't afford to hesitate, or things would get worse. Maofeng said: "Officer, I'm at the end of my rope, this life is unbearable, and I came to Guangzhou to see if I could find a way out by going overseas! I've heard that doing business abroad can make you rich, even if it's not, there are more opportunities here than in my hometown!"

  Lin Hu's expression didn't change as he said in a deep voice, "But Zhejiang is a wealthy region, it's still possible to find some small work there! You've come all the way here from so far away, do you think I'd believe that?"

  With an aura, the commander of the battlefield with a tight grip on his heavy sword, that murderous intent naturally emerged. Mao Feng felt this intangible pressure, making him feel a bit breathless. Although Mao Feng's heart was not suppressed, this was not his original body, and he felt a little helpless.

  His face turned pale, he hastily bowed his head and said: "Officer, this is really true! If there was no other way to survive, how would I have come here? If I had known that the fighting was still going on here, maybe I wouldn't have come!"

  Lin Hu's face relaxed slightly, but his eyes remained fixed on Mao Feng. He said, "From your appearance, I can tell that you used to be a soldier? Otherwise, you wouldn't have such an air about you! Speak up! Or else, take him out and execute him immediately!"

  Mao Feng naturally knew that his various abnormalities would not be able to deceive those with ulterior motives, and although he had anticipated this, he never thought it would be Lin Hu who came to ask him. Nothing can be predicted, such is the unpredictability of life.

  Maofeng still looked nervous and said with his head bowed: "Officer, I've always liked to dance with guns and sticks, and I'm a bit skilled at it. From childhood, I admired those heroic figures, and later on, I relied on these rough things I came up with to train myself! I really haven't been a soldier before!"

  Lin Hu said in a low voice: "Put your hands out!"

  Maofeng spread out his hands and Lin Hu saw that although there were calluses on Maofeng's hands, but not on his index finger, which meant he didn't shoot often.

  Lin Hu's expression eased, and he said: "Now, Sun Hu Zi has always been cunning. I have captured many spies like you. You are not the best! I appreciate you! You were born to be a soldier! Now I give you a choice: either stay by my side as a guard or go back to your original unit?"

  Mao Feng said without hesitation: "Officer, I'd rather go back to my squad, I'm willing to start from a small soldier!"

  Lin Hu narrowed his eyes and said, "Little soldier? Hehe, you're quite ambitious! Can't you just be a guard here? As long as you do well, I'll promote you to platoon leader within a year. How about it?"

  His body straightened, he said firmly: "No, thank you for the promotion, I still choose what I did before. I want to get credit with my own hands and rise step by step. I also figured it out, at least in the army, I won't go hungry! And there's a future! I'm willing to be a soldier!"

  Lin Hu looked up and laughed loudly three times. After he finished laughing, he looked at Mao Feng with a gaze of appreciation, not hiding his admiration for him. He said: "Good, very good, extremely good! It's rare to find young people like you. Now isn't it what we hope for in young people? Very good, my team needs someone like you. You're a talent, and I, Lin Hu, have always treated talents well, as long as they're not on the opposing side! Letting you be a ordinary soldier would be a waste of your abilities! How about this: now we've just recruited a new batch of soldiers, and I'm short-handed, lacking people to lead the troops. You can be a platoon leader. If you do well, there's no need to say more. If you don't do well, then you'll still be a platoon leader! Do you understand my meaning?"

  "Understood, sir!" Maofeng said loudly with his chest out.

  "Hmm, you go to the 3rd battalion, 3rd company, 2nd platoon, 1st squad as the squad leader! That's my order!" Lin Hu said with a wave of his hand.

  "Yes, sir!" Mao Feng responded loudly.

  Mao Fengzhi walked out of the temporary courtyard that served as Lin Hu's office in the military camp. Mao Fengzhi still slightly adjusted his uniform, then stepped forward towards his own troops.

  This is his own troop, and also the troop he was in at that time. Sergeant Huang Mingyang's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't believe that the new platoon leader was actually one of his original soldiers, and one he had personally caught.

  This time, it was the squad leaders and above who came to meet the new platoon leader. The three squad leaders were all shocked when they saw Mao Feng, and the other two were no exception, thinking similarly to Huang Mingyang, but with more disdain and jealousy.

  Liu Chun, the class monitor, was short and stout, with thick hands and piercing eyes. He sneered, "In the army, if you want to make your subordinates obey you, you must show them something. Otherwise, it won't work! I'm telling you, kid, first get past me! If you win against me, I'll acknowledge you and fully support you as my platoon leader. Otherwise, get out of here immediately!"

  The Guangdong Army has always been fierce, and Lin Hu's military governance has always been strict. The Tiger Wolf Division is nothing more than this. Mao Feng knew that Lin Hu didn't give himself a command, just one sentence, which explained one thing: the test had arrived. If he couldn't even hold the position of platoon leader firmly, what kind of talent was he?

  Mao Feng said with a faint smile: "Liu Chun, I know you, you're also an old soldier, your skills are not bad. As the new platoon leader, I'd like to extend a welcome! Let's shake hands!"

  He slowly stretched out his hand, Liu Chun looked at the hand in front of him, and looked at Mao Feng's calm expression. He raised an eyebrow and said: "Welcome? Ha ha, then I must welcome you warmly!"

  Smiling, he also stretched out his hand. When the two hands were tightly clasped together, the other two immediately stared intently at them. But what surprised them was that the situation seemed to have taken an unexpected turn, and soon a winner and loser emerged. A cry of pain immediately rang out, but it wasn't Maofeng who let out the cry of pain, it was Liu Chun.

  Liu Chun's face was contorted in agony, Liu Chun had always been strong-willed and could endure pain, but this time he couldn't help but let out a mournful cry, it can be imagined how intense the force was!

  Huang Mingyang and Class 2 monitor Jia Cheng stared at the two people holding hands, Liu Chundao almost knelt down! Just then, Mao Feng let go, he helped Liu Chundao up with both hands and said: "Sorry! I used too much force and made you suffer!"

  Feeling wronged? That's what he said! Liu Chun is so humiliated that he wants to dig a hole, he truly understands what it means to be slapped in the face. What does it mean to be ruthless?! People can't be judged by appearance! At the same time, Liu Chun also feels intimidated by Mao Feng.

  Huang Mingyang spoke up at this time, saying: "The platoon leader is really young and promising! I was wrong, I was wrong! From now on, my 180 pounds will be handed over to Platoon Leader You! Let's work together!"

  Class Two Monitor Jia Cheng immediately followed up, saying: "Yes, as for you being our platoon leader, I, Jia Cheng, absolutely acknowledge it without any hesitation. Whoever doesn't acknowledge it, I'll be the first to beat him up!"

  "It's not a fight, it's military law enforcement!"

  Four words, "Military law will be enforced", this made the three squad leaders tremble with fear! What a ruthless person! This is not something that ordinary people can say, nor is it something that ordinary people can think of.

  Maofeng looked at Liu Chun and said with an expressionless face: "Do you acknowledge me as the leader of this squad now?"

  Liu Chun still clutched his aching right hand, and with an embarrassed and slightly fearful tone said: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I'll obey your command, you just give the order, if you tell me to go east I absolutely won't go west!"

  "Hmm, that's the best! If you're not convinced, feel free to come and try again!" Mao Feng's tone was still as calm as ever, so calm it sent shivers down people's spines.

  Mao Feng was promoted to squad leader as soon as he arrived, still a stranger, which raised some objections among the officers and soldiers of the three armies, but because it was Lin Hu's personal order, this discontent was suppressed in their hearts.

  The Guangdong Army is the most exclusive force, and its cohesion is also the best among local forces. Chen Jiongming's ability to withstand repeated blows without falling is not unreasonable, which also reflects Chen Jiongming's wrist and ability.

  A row of continuous military training can be said to be a bitter day, but they all persisted. In order to let the soldiers eat well, Mao Feng was exhausted, and Liu Chun even came up with the idea of collecting protection fees, which Mao Feng agreed to! At this time, if you don't take some unconventional measures, forget about survival.

  A person who does nothing for himself will be destroyed by heaven and earth. This is Mao Feng's best idea at the moment, and it is a resolute one. If you want to achieve something, then you must make some unconventional moves.

  The First Army was Chen Jiongming's direct line, the Second Army was Xu Chongzhi, and the Third Army was Lin Hu. Lin Hu was an outsider among the Guangdong clique, he had enough seniority, and his relationship with Chen Jiongming was both subordinate and colleague! Lin Hu has always opposed revolution, and has always opposed Sun Yat-sen!

  Guangzhou was captured by the First Army, so after a brief recruitment campaign, the Third Army withdrew from Guangzhou. Chaozhou was the destination of the Third Army.

  Mao Feng led his own troops on the march, one row was neat and tidy at this moment, looking so different. One row also had a great reputation, openly and grandly collecting protection fees, which caused a lot of controversy! However, Lin Hu suppressed it with one hand, and there was no market left, let alone room for maneuver.

  A row of warriors, each and every one of them was spirited and full of energy. These days, they were overjoyed because of the long march, they were much better than other troops! The second and third rows were far inferior to themselves! This small pride made these warriors even more supportive of Mao Feng, this platoon leader.

  Mao Fengzhi's interpersonal relationships with his colleagues were relatively poor, and he was often ostracized. If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew Lin Hu was backing him, Mao might have been kicked out of the army long ago, or even lost his life.
