Chapter 248 The Newly Appointed Deputy Head
After carefully considering the commander-in-chief's order, Lu Ziming found that he had no place to cry even if he wanted to. It was clearly him who was wronged, not Zhao Zhiguo.
Lu Ziming watched Zhao Zhiguo and Yan Laoxi talking and laughing, and became angry, but he did not dare to get angry.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to get me a Japanese general's command sword. When the time comes, I'll give you the saber in my hand in exchange for it."
Yan Laoxi attended a military academy in the island country and was very interested in the Japs' sabers. The saber in his hand was modeled after the Japanese command knife. Every time he went out, he would rather carry a saber than a gun.
Of course, as the commander-in-chief, he naturally despises the command swords of those lieutenants and assistant officers. If Zhao Zhiguo gets him a general command sword, except for his wife and concubines, Yan Laoxi will give him whatever Zhao Zhiguo wants.
.
Lu Ziming has been waiting by the side. The order just now was too uncomfortable. He wanted to persuade Yan Laoxi to change the order, but seeing the two people chatting and laughing, he couldn't interrupt.
"Commander-in-Chief, the car is ready."
Before Lu Ziming could say anything, the guards had already prepared Yan Laoxi's car to go back. If he didn't interrupt, the matter might be a foregone conclusion.
"Commander-in-Chief, please stay. I have something else to say. Is the order just now..."
"Is the order just now unclear?"
"It's very clear and very understandable, but it's just a little unreasonable."
"What do you mean?" Yan Laoxi's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Seeing the look in Yan Laoxi's eyes, Lu Ziming was almost frightened and speechless: "No... nothing... quite reasonable. Have a good trip, Commander-in-Chief."
"snort!"
Yan Laoxi's cold snort made Lu Ziming sweat profusely in these nine cold days. He could only watch Yan Laoxi's car leave the prison respectfully.
"Huh~"
After Yan Laoxi left, Lu Ziming breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhao Zhiguo came up and bumped Lu Ziming with his shoulder. Lu Ziming was almost pushed into the drainage ditch on the roadside.
"How's it going? Is this backer better than yours?" Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.
In fact, Zhao Zhiguo didn't understand why Yan Laoxi was so kind to him. Logically speaking, eighty Japanese prisoners of war were not enough to make Yan Laoxi think so highly of him.
Zhao Zhiguo has been thinking about this problem, but he just didn't understand that he would become a pawn in Yan Laoxi's plan to split Lu Ziming's division.
However, according to the current situation, it is definitely very beneficial to Zhao Zhiguo. In terms of soldiers and supplies, he will not have to worry about it in the future. With Yan Laoxi's imperial order here, who dares to disobey it?
However, Zhao Zhiguo was still happy too early. With Yan Laoxi's character, he did not believe Lu Ziming, let alone Zhao Zhiguo. After all, they were all members of the Northwest Army. On the way back, Yan Laoxi told his men,
Send an officer they trust to Zhao Zhiguo's regiment as deputy commander.
Yan Laoxi's purpose is very clear, to divide the power in Zhao Zhiguo's hands, and if necessary, this deputy leader can replace him.
Therefore, the order Yan Laoxi gave to Lu Ziming before leaving was not to gain any benefits for Zhao Zhiguo. The ultimate beneficiary was Yan Laoxi.
It has to be said that not only did this transaction result in no loss of money, but also a group of people were deceived. Of course, these things were only figured out by Zhao Zhiguo later.
He is now shouting at Lu Ziming. Doesn't Lu Ziming use Commander Liu as his backer and is not afraid of anything?
Lu Ziming gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Zhiguo. He was very angry, but he didn't know who to direct it at: "We have a long way to go, we will see in the future!"
"Don't do it again. You have already done what I promised you. What about what you promised me? Hand over my brother."
"I don't know where your brother is!"
Zhao Ziming was never in Lu Ziming's hands, so it was naturally impossible for Lu Ziming to hand him over.
"Mr. Lu, are you going to go back on your word?"
Zhao Zhiguo's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a murderous aura spurted out. Only those who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have killed the enemy face to face can have such murderous aura.
Lu Ziming was startled by Zhao Zhiguo's eyes: "I didn't know where Zhao Ziming was in the first place. Everything was just to stabilize you."
"Okay! Very good! Since you said we'll see, then we'll see what happens next!"
Zhao Zhiguo was originally a fox who pretended to be powerful. He knew that Zhao Ziming was not in Lu Ziming's hands. He just wanted to rely on Yan Laoxi's remaining power to counter Lu Ziming and make Lu Ziming be polite to him in the future.
After saying that, Zhao Zhiguo turned around and left with the special force, shouting loudly as he walked: "Don't forget the commander-in-chief's order."
When Lu Ziming heard Zhao Zhiguo's words, he was so angry that he was spinning in circles.
"Captain, are you going to let him go like this?" Yao Pengju was a little unwilling.
"He has already said that the days ahead are long, so let's follow him and make a day ahead, and save them for later. Otherwise we will be bored."
"Then shall we return to the station now?"
"It's been a long time since I came out, and I really miss home."
If Zhao Zhiguo left his army, he really wouldn't know where to go. He already regarded the army as his home.
Because there were not enough horses, Zhao Zhiguo and his special team walked back to their base from Pingcheng. They stopped and stopped along the way, and it took them a day and a night to get back to their base.
At this time, the deputy commander sent by Yan Laoxi also arrived at Zhao Zhiguo's residence.
"Deputy leader? Who appointed the deputy leader?"
Before Captain Zhao Zhiguo could warm up in his seat, he heard Gao Cang reporting to him that a deputy captain had been assigned to them.
"Judging from the red stamp on the appointment letter, it is from the Ministry of Military Affairs. I don't know who arranged it specifically, but the appointment letter is definitely authentic."
Gao Cang has verified that this person is not a fake.
After returning to the headquarters, Zhao Zhiguo saw a middle-aged man about thirty-four or five years old sitting in his office chair. This man was slightly fatter, certainly not as good as Qian Kangbo, and half a head shorter than Zhao Zhiguo.
.
Seeing Zhao Zhiguo being crowded into the headquarters, even if he had never met Zhao Zhiguo, he knew that this person must be Zhao Zhiguo: "Captain Zhao, I am sent by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to assist you in your work, my name is Cai Maoyun!
"
"Are you the new deputy commander? Who sent you here?" Zhao Zhiguo looked at this person warily.
"No one sent me here, it's just work needs. Your division needs to be reorganized from the Northwest Army to the Shanxi-Sui Army. The army will naturally become more regular. In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the army as soon as possible, the officers and soldiers must be prepared in the shortest possible time.
To complete the supplement, you will naturally need help from people like me."
