Chapter 29: Threats and Bribes (Second Update, Seeking Bookmarks)

  Vasily hastily walked out of the bungalow, his face a bit embarrassed and a bit angry. Chen Feichen understood why he had such an expression. However, this also shows that yesterday's drink was not in vain, and the friendship has increased a bit, otherwise this old guy would have stormed out with a furious face.

  Vasilyev rushed to Chen Feicheng and said urgently, "Chen, how can you be like this? We are friends, you must have the necessary courtesy, your every word and deed must conform to your identity, you are the captain!"

  In response to Vasilyev's complaint, Chen Feidu said with a smile: "Oh, Comrade Vasilyev, you should know that when you see a soldier making a face in front of you, you might be as fierce as I am, or even more so! What I did was precisely for my own identity. To be honest, your subordinates really need to be educated, and I mean ideologically."

  Vasilyev glared at the guard, his voice low and menacing: "You! Now! Write me a deep self-criticism, I want to see it tonight!"

  The guard opened his mouth and then closed it again, with a very wronged expression. But Chen Fei's heart was actually very pleased. What kind of thing is this?! Trying to show off in front of me!

  The sentry replied in a low voice: "Yes, Comrade Colonel."

  Vasilyev didn't continue to cling to it either, this would only make him even more embarrassed, Chen Feichen was still there after all! He smiled and said: "Chen, please, let's go inside and talk."

  "Ah, okay!" Chen Feichen agreed readily.

  Vasilyev was a bit curious, why did Chen Feichen come here today? Vasilyev had been investigating Chen Feichen's situation since early morning, and from the information he had just gathered, it seemed that Chen Feichen was indeed the regiment commander, and indeed transferred from Northeast China! But why would someone so young be appointed as a regiment commander, this was not his concern. As long as the identity was correct, that was enough! As long as he wasn't a spy, that was enough!

  Vasilyev has been very uncomfortable since he came here, because the person in charge of the Communist Party is a barbarian and a Mongolian who likes to drink mare's milk! Just thinking about it makes Vasilyev want to vomit! In his daily speech, he also has an official tone, completely not understanding coordination or peaceful coexistence, with a complete attitude of "each minding their own business"!

  Now it's good, at least someone who looks nice to get along with has come. From yesterday's drinking session, this young man is at least very refreshing and has a great capacity for liquor! This is something I haven't experienced in a long time!

  Vasilyev is undoubtedly a man who values his life, and living in the army is also a way of life! It's good to know that this war has already moved far away from our country! In fact, this atmosphere has been gradually cultivated in the Soviet Union. Not only Vasilyev, but many others have it too. Since the end of World War II, people all over the Soviet Union have begun to enjoy the fruits of victory brought by the war, and the army is no exception. What are they risking their lives for? Isn't it just for a good life? For the sake of the people's well-being, aren't his family members also part of the people?

  As a result, Vasilyev and Chen Feichen opened up again. In just a few sentences, after treating Chen with wine, they moved from the office to the dining room, from one bottle of vodka to four bottles of vodka.

  Chen Feichen was drinking with a thrilling and exciting feeling, he didn't even know why his alcohol tolerance was so good. Was this the benefit of crossing over? Chen Feichen thought to himself during the break from drinking.

  Vasily was waiting for the orderly to bring over the wine, Vasily's face was flushed with red light, he was very happy, this was too delightful, this wine should be drunk like this!

  The wine was brought over quickly, and Vasilyev immediately opened it again and started pouring. Chen Feicheng was no longer nervous at this moment, but instead very curious, wondering what his alcohol tolerance was like? How did the diluted wine almost knock him down yesterday, and why did he drink a full glass of vodka today and still feel fine?!

  Vasilyev was in high spirits, chatting about many topics, from the Patriotic War to his own romance, and even talking about the life he yearned for. Chen Feichen gradually gained a rough understanding of Vasilyev, and he increasingly felt that Vasilyev was just a breakthrough point. As Chen Feichen smiled and drank with Vasilyev, he had already planned to drag him down! The best way to do this was through corruption!

  Vasilyev wanted to know that this wine friend, in such a calculation of his own words, really didn't know what he should think! Chen Feichen, with a drunken burp, said: "Vasilyev, you are my friend, what you said is absolutely right, I also thought so, you must know that as soon as we met, we were destined to be friends! Friends!"

  Vasily nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, friend, we are friends!"

  "Vasilyev, you should know that this time the aid materials are not just military weapons, but also many scarce materials, such as gasoline, and cotton-padded clothes!" Chen Feichen said with deep meaning.

  Vasilev nodded and said, "Yes, there is, but it will be gone soon. I have received instructions from above that assistance in this area will stop immediately, including weapons assistance. This is a private conversation between us, you can't tell anyone, but it's only a matter of time!"

  Chen Feichen was taken aback, but he wasn't like others either. He was a latecomer and knew what the Soviet Union had done in history. Manzhouli seemed to be a transit station for Soviet aid materials during the Korean War as well!

  "Vasilyev, that would be a pity," Chen Fei said after some deliberation. "You know, these things could sell for a pretty penny!"

  Vasily was taken aback, shaking his head and saying: "This is a matter of losing one's head, don't even think about it!"

  Chen Feichen smiled and continued: "As long as you and I don't say anything, and we're a bit more secretive about it, who will know?"

  Vasily was a little moved, although he had drunk too much wine, but Vasily always wanted to live a good life, now there is such a direction, how can he not be moved? But he still has concerns, after all, Chen Feichen is still unfamiliar.

  Vasilyev said: "This is probably not good?"

  Chen Feichen listened and said in his heart, "Not good? Then it's very good! Still pretending!" But he said with his mouth: "As long as everyone does it together, who will say anything? Everyone is afraid of death."

  "Hmm?" Vasilyev pondered, this has both good and bad aspects, too many people means too many mouths! Chen Feichen said in a low voice: "My intention is to bring in the main cadres and officials, isn't that enough? Is there no problem on your side?"

  Chen Feichen unconsciously pulled towards the inside, and Vasilyev's thinking path also unconsciously changed from choosing to agree or disagree with corruption to how to be corrupt, which has already changed in nature. However, Vasilyev did not notice.

  Vasilyev said without hesitation: "I have no problem here at all, they are all trustworthy!"

  Chen Feichen nodded and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then how to sell these materials will be up to you. After all, you're familiar with this stuff, it's best if you can just absorb them over there."

  Vasilyev said: "Well, how should I distribute this money?"

  Chen Feichen chuckled and said: "How about we split it 7-3? After all, you need to sell the goods and have a sales channel!"

  Vasily's heart was racing out of control as he calculated what a sum of money it was! After calculating, Vasily said: "This won't do, you know this is not something that you and I can swallow, domestically there are still expenses to be incurred, if I can get one percent of it, that would be good enough!"

  "Two successes! This is the lowest I've ever had."

  Vasily roared again: "Bring wine!"

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Chen Feichen stumbled out, Dong Cheng was a bit speechless looking at the captain, how did he get drunk again? When the car started heading to the team department, Chen Feichen's expression suddenly became serious, and his drowsy appearance immediately changed.

  Chen Feichen couldn't help but smile a little, Vasilyev had naturally guaranteed the bottom line, he still didn't say everything, but that was enough, it looked like he had drunk too much wine, but he must have already thought about this aspect, otherwise how could he think of ways to sell and send money to relevant parties?

  Dong Cheng saw that his captain seemed to have changed into a different person. This was a great change in a living being! Dong Cheng asked doubtfully, "Captain, is anything wrong?"

  Chen Feichen chuckled and said, "Of course it's nothing, this little bit of wine doesn't count!"

  Chen Feichen thought again: Now you can take it all, when the time comes, eat as much as you want and spit out as much as I give you, if you can't spit it out, then give your life to me! Hehe!

  Chen Feichen immediately convened a meeting as soon as he returned to the team, and on the meeting, he told the story. The result can be imagined, all were opposed voices.

  "This is a crime, this is murder!" he exclaimed. "Don't you know how much our troops need this aid? The front-line soldiers need the Soviet Union's advanced weapons and supplies to win battle after battle, and they can also save themselves as much as possible. We cannot do this!"

  Liu Guangda also nodded and said: "Captain, if this is known by the higher-ups, we'll be in for a bullet to the head!"

  Chen Mingliang sighed and said, "Captain, I really admire you. You even thought of this method. The potential risks involved are too complicated, and if we're not careful, we'll be done for!"

  "What's all the commotion? I haven't finished speaking yet, you one by one jump out, be quiet! Wait till I finish!"

  Tang Jingwu, Liu Guangda and Chen Mingliang all shut their mouths and didn't make a sound. They were all waiting to see how Chen Feichen would say it! Tang Jingwu had already made up his mind that he would not agree to this no matter what, this was simply playing with fire! Too outrageous! Tang Jingwu is currently serving as the director of the political department, and the original five-member party committee has now become four.

  Chen Feichen said slowly and calmly, "What about water? I just finished drinking wine, my throat is smoking!" Everyone who heard this was collectively speechless. What is this? Is he showing off?! Tang Jingwu looked at Chen Feichen with a mixture of laughter and tears.
