Most of the officers who remain at the headquarters do staff work.

Their ability to analyze maps and battle situations is pretty good, but if they were thrown into the mountains, they would probably not be able to tell the difference between east, west, north and south.

None of the officers appointed by Zhao Zhiguo were trained on the battlefield.

Although the ability of those platoon leaders to read maps is not as good as these people, if they are thrown into the mountains as a platoon, even if they are given twenty times the strength of the little devil, there is no way to eliminate them.

"Commander Zhao, if something happens later, shall we treat you to dinner?" an officer said.

"Invite me to dinner?"

Although Zhao Zhiguo is young, he is not stupid and sweet.

It was the first time for him to meet these people. They were strangers to each other, so he wanted to invite them to dinner. He must have some ideas.

Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo had just come out and before he could go far, these people came to the door.

Apparently he is already waiting for Zhao Zhiguo here.

"It's just to keep in touch and bond with each other," another officer said.

"Everyone, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't have a reason, I really wouldn't dare to go to such a meal."

The people who work at the headquarters are either capable or can tell the difference between their appearance and their appearance.

"Actually...Commander Zhao, we have something we want to ask you to do, but we have different matters." An officer said.

As expected, they came with a purpose.

Zhao Zhiguo glanced at the headquarters compound, but no one came out.

"As for the meal, I won't eat it. I will have dinner with the deputy commander-in-chief later." Zhao Zhiguo said, "If you have any questions, just ask them. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

The deputy commander-in-chief had already made an appointment, so of course Zhao Zhiguo could no longer spend time eating with others.

"The three of us want to go to the battlefield!" An officer came straight to the point.

Now that Zhao Zhiguo said so, they no longer hesitated.

"Want to go to the battlefield?"

"At the headquarters, half of us are doing staff work, and then we are running logistics and checking sentries. Commander Zhao, you also know that the security of the Eighth Route Army headquarters is relatively high." The officer continued.

Staying at the headquarters means basically no need to go to the front line.

Although the work of the headquarters is also very important, they want to lead troops on the front line and fight against the Japanese army.

"Oh, I understand what you mean. You want me to talk to the deputy commander-in-chief and then want to lead troops in our first military division?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"Commander Zhao is Commander Zhao, that's what we mean."

"Why don't you go talk to the deputy commander in chief?" Zhao Zhiguo continued to ask.

This is not a shameful thing. The deputy commander-in-chief has a temper at most and is not the kind to be easy to talk to.

"If you raise this kind of thing, you will be more confident."

In fact, they were afraid of the deputy commander-in-chief's temper, so they didn't dare to mention it.

"Oh, you mean if I raise the issue, if the boss has a temper and scolds me directly, it has nothing to do with you?"

Of course Zhao Zhiguo understands the boss's temper. If this kind of thing is not handled well, the boss will definitely get angry.

"No, no, no, that's not what we meant. The three of us want to go to your first military division. You can give us a platoon leader or a squad leader."

"Have you ever led troops to fight in a war?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

A few people nodded. They were all veterans. They had traveled 25,000 miles from the south to the north, and so many people had died along the way. Of course they knew the cruelty of the battlefield.

"In this case, how nice the headquarters is. There is no fear of life, and you can always pay attention to the direction of the war."

At the headquarters, you can pay attention to news from all aspects and see information that others cannot see.

In other words, being at the headquarters is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants.

While fighting the Japanese army on the front line, the death rate of lower-level officers and soldiers was not small.

If they were unlucky, none of the three of them might survive the battle.

"To be honest, we have all led soldiers and served as battalion commanders. After staying at the headquarters for a long time, we always feel too comfortable and cannot hear the gunshots on the front line. It seems that there is no war in China anymore," the officer said.

After retreating from the front line to the rear, let alone a long period of time, even if it only takes an hour, the soldiers feel that they are living people, not war machines.

After being away from the front line for a long time and going to watch a war, many people will be very unfamiliar with the war.

"Well... I mentioned this matter to the commander, but let's start the scandal first. If the deputy commander doesn't agree, don't blame me." Zhao Zhiguo said.

When they were in Pingcheng, Matthew Wen mentioned to the Chief of General Staff that he would support them with a few officers.

At that time, the Chief of General Staff did not agree. Now that Zhao Zhiguo has mentioned it to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, he estimates that the possibility of success is low.

When he came to the headquarters, Zhao Zhiguo didn't want to offend anyone.

"What do they want me to do? Are they asking me to go to the deputy commander and ask them to be promoted?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"No, no, no, Commander Zhao is joking," the officer waved his hand quickly, "We heard that the First Army Division fought with the Japanese army and captured a lot of trophies."

"Oh, you want the trophies?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"If Commander Zhao is in trouble, we won't let him go. After all, our Eighth Route Army has military regulations and all seizures must be returned to the public."

"It's not difficult. I definitely can't give you the gun, but there are a bunch of the little Japs' command knives in our warehouse. When I get back, I will arrange for someone to deliver them to you." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Zhao Zhiguo is really good at giving gifts.

Moreover, the Japanese army's saguan swords were not worth much. Most importantly, they were useless if they were confiscated. They were piled in warehouses and eventually used to be refined into iron.

"Thank you, Commander Zhao. Let's take our leave now."

"Commander, I didn't expect you to be quite popular." Zhu Hongsi said.

"Hey~ it's not difficult to get the trophies. It's the three who want to go to our army that are the big problem." Zhao Zhiguo sighed, "Let's go back, let's go back and pack up, change clothes, and get ready to meet the vice president.

Let’s have dinner together, Commander.”

"I won't go. The deputy commander-in-chief wants to discuss things with you."

Zhu Hongsi understands his status. If he eats with several big leaders, he will definitely not be able to sit or stand!

"Lao Zhu, even if you feel uncomfortable all over your body, you still have to attend more occasions like this." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Zhu Hongsi looked at Zhao Zhiguo and didn't understand what Zhao Zhiguo meant.

"No one can attend the deputy commander-in-chief's dinner, and it will be good for your future development."

The leader's dinner party will indeed make people feel uncomfortable, but through the dinner party, you can become familiar with the leader.

"Okay, but...Commander, if you have something important to discuss, just give me a wink and I'll leave as soon as I should." Zhu Hongsi said.
