Chapter 625: Brigade Commander: Junior Brother Chu, do you want to put aside the dispute and jointly
"Brother Chu, our exploration team was hijacked in your territory. Are you going to give me an explanation?"
"Brother Yunlong, what do you mean?"
"Okay, Brother Chu, you are pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth? Then I don't want this explanation. I want you to give an explanation to Old Yu. What do you think?
When Lao Yu asks you for an explanation, it won’t be that simple.
Maybe Lao Yu will even return all your deposit for the equipment."
Old Li said this, but no matter how you listened, you could feel that there was a hint of gloating in his words.
Old Li has always been rude and disruptive. What's more, he is in the right now, so he has to control Chu Yunfei even more.
"Brother Yunlong, let's not talk about this anymore. You still need to explain a few more things to Brother Yu. I really didn't know about the exploration team. When I found out about this, I rushed here without stopping."
Chu Yunfei, who always disdained explanations, became very cautious after Li Yunlong mentioned Yu Ye, and explained the inside story to Li Yunlong seriously.
"Then you'd better not tell me, tell our brigade commander instead."
As he spoke, Chu Yunfei left the guard company where it was, and he and Li Yunlong walked into the largest restaurant in Qinshui. As soon as he entered the door, Chu Yunfei took the initiative to salute the brigade commander.
The division commander saluted the brigade commander on his own initiative, which looked a bit funny no matter how you looked at it.
However, the two men did not think there was anything wrong with it. With the troops under the command of the brigade commander at that time, it would not be an exaggeration for him to be the army commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Even Old Li dared to challenge Old Yan, not to mention the brigade commander who controlled nearly half of the Eighth Route Army's main forces in Shanxi.
"Hello, senior. I am Chu Yunfei, a graduate of the fifth term of the Whampoa Military Academy. I am currently serving as the commander of the 89th Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. I am deeply sorry for the offense suffered by your exploration team in Qinshui. I have come to ask for apology and see if there is anything I can do to help you."
Chu Yunfei's attitude was very gentle. He apologized directly as soon as he came up. This made it difficult for the brigade commander and Li Yunlong to deal with him. They had prepared some questions, but with Chu Yunfei's attitude, they could not utter any questions at all.
Old Li thought to himself that Chu Yunfei was a very sensible guy.
"Since our exploration team has escaped danger, and Commander Chu was not involved, Commander Chu does not need to worry about it."
Facing this young schoolmate who was so understanding, the brigade commander's tone became gentle.
"Commander Chu, we did not inform you of our exploration this time, which was indeed an oversight on our part. But the minerals in your area are indeed essential materials for us..."
The brigade commander spoke very restrainedly, but Chu Yunfei understood the implicit meaning of his legendary senior's words.
I, the brigade commander, have taken a fancy to the minerals near your Qinshui Coal Mine. If you return them to me, that's fine. But if you don't, then I will have to change the way I talk to you.
"Senior, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, put aside the dispute and jointly develop. Now our common goal is to kill the Japanese, and we are mining these minerals for this goal.
It is true that you occupy the place, and it is also true that we do not want to resort to war.
So why not develop it together?
You can invest in it. We will give you 20% of the shares. You will be responsible for the external defense, and we will send people to take charge of the internal defense and control.
As for workers, they can be recruited from within the jurisdiction.
When the time comes, I will have Director Yu pay you your shares with arms.
This way, you, us, and the local people all benefit. It’s a win-win situation for all three parties. Why not do it? ”
The brigade commander patiently listed all the points in the project that could attract Chu Yunfei, and he looked a bit like the profiteer he was when he first talked to Li Yunlong.
Old Li stood nearby and did not interrupt, but he felt that the brigade commander's words were too righteous, as if he was leading Chu Yunfei on a pirate ship.
"Win-win-win? Then who loses? Only the devil loses?"
Chu Yunfei muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Senior, let me ask you a question, what kind of mine are you exploring?" Chu Yunfei was obviously not someone who could be easily fooled.
The brigade commander saw the comrades of the exploration team listening attentively nearby, and before they could react, he said decisively: "Coal mine! We are exploring for coal mines!"
The voice was so decisive that there was no room for doubt.
Chu Yunfei looked at Mr. Li Zhonggong, his eyes full of inquiries.
Mr. Li frowned slightly, but finally said with gritted teeth: "The area we are exploring is indeed a coal mine."
There are just some uranium ore belts in the coal mines.
Chu Yunfei clearly felt that something was not right inside. There must be something going on here. The Eighth Route Army had completely occupied the place and consumed a large number of coal mines in central and northern Shanxi. Not to mention, there were a large number of coal mines represented by the Yukou Coal Mine around Datong where the Independent Regiment had caused a big stir before. Why the hell did they come to southern Shanxi to look for coal mines?
However, surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and with the approval of Mr. Li, Chu Yunfei had no choice but to admit that the area they were exploring near Qinshui was indeed a coal mine.
Seeing Chu Yunfei's face full of doubt, the brigade commander said: "We will use arms to distribute the 20% of the shares. Yu Ye didn't come today, so I made this decision for him.
"One thousand 56 and a half rifles, one million rounds of ammunition, and 30 artillery guns every year, what do you think?"
The brigade commander did not dare to quote too high a price and carefully measured the price so that Chu Yunfei would feel that the business was worthwhile and profitable.
Chu Yunfei hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "In this case, let's do as you wish. Our 89th Division will be responsible for the security of the periphery."
"Okay, I'll place the independent regiment in Qinshui County and start our preliminary mining work first."
The brigade commander was worried that Chu Yunfei would go back on his word, so he decided to have Li Yunlong stay on the spot.
"Ok?"
Li Yunlong was a little confused. Why did he have anything to do with this? Wasn't he going to lead someone to stab Chu Yunfei in the ass?
How come it's now my turn to be surrounded by Chu Yunfei?
However, Li Yunlong also figured out a little bit of the brigade commander's thoughts. Now he is placed next to Chu Yunfei, not to mention that there are minerals to be developed together. This is a little hard to explain.
When the time is right, he will lead the independent regiment to fight with Chu Yunfei. At that time, he will not be surrounded, but his center will be destroyed.
After some reluctance, Chu Yunfei had no choice but to join us.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh, this old man is still the wisest, the brigade commander is worthy of being the brigade commander.
