Chapter 38 How could I be so unlucky?

Originally Cun Yunsheng had lost hope, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

"Tell me about it." Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party hopefully.

"Commander, there were originally a few people traveling with me, preparing to join the expedition together, but later everyone was taken to Zenda." Krupp's words made Cun Yunsheng frown slightly.

He had specifically told Stationmaster Wang that as long as they were technical soldiers, he would take them, no matter what kind of soldiers they were.

For a moment, Cun Yunsheng's face looked a little ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and listened patiently.

"This Old Wang is really not a kind person. Commander, you shouldn't be so kind as to agree to his conditions." Meng Fanle said indignantly with a pout.

Krupp was a little dazed and looked at the other party in confusion.

It was not until Meng Fanle explained that Krupp suddenly realized what was going on, and he looked at the other party with eyes full of admiration.

It is really rare to see someone treat a group of disabled veterans with such a compassionate heart.

"Commander, this really can't be blamed on Stationmaster Wang. He was talking about the artillery and other technical arms. Among those who were traveling with me, two were tank soldiers."

"They thought that a small place like Zenda would not need chariot soldiers, so they didn't say anything," Krupp explained.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng exclaimed. He didn't expect that there would be chariot soldiers. This is really rare.

You must know that the Central Army's tank unit has long been in name only, and the few remaining tanks are just used to keep up appearances.

At the same time, I also understand why these people did not introduce themselves.

After all, tanks are not something that ordinary troops can afford.

One diesel is enough of a headache.

The Sichuan Army is just a group of poor people.

So they didn't take it seriously.

"Tank soldiers? This is too rare." Meng Fanle didn't expect that it would be a chariot soldier. It was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Yes, they originally wanted to join the expeditionary force, but they heard that you can have enough food and the salary is not bad, so they followed here to take a look." Krupp said with a silly smile.

After listening to this, Cun Yunsheng patted Krupp on the shoulder and praised him.

"Not bad. Any other classmates you can recommend? It doesn't matter if you are from the artillery department, you can go to the infantry department or something like that."

"All relatives and friends at home are welcome to come. Our team is extremely short of talent right now."

Only Meng rolled his eyes in annoyance. This was a plan to catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, he also knew that Krupp, who was able to study in Germany, must come from a prominent family and might have several top students.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Krupp would shake his head with red eyes.

"My home is gone. It was ransacked by the Japanese."

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

After a long time, Cun Yunsheng patted the other person's shoulder and comforted him.

"It's okay. Kill more devils in the future and avenge them."

"It's annoying. Send someone to call these soldiers over."

To be honest, Cun Yunsheng was also curious about these chariot soldiers.

Nowadays, those who can become tank soldiers are at least intellectuals.

After all, without knowledge, it is impossible to operate a chariot.

Not long after, several soldiers came to Cun Yunsheng.

"Are you eighteen years old?" The person in front of him looked very young, which surprised Cun Yunsheng. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Sir, I just have a baby face. I'm already eighteen." There was a cunning flash in Zhao He's eyes, and he stated with certainty that he was eighteen.

"Are there really eighteen?" Cun Yunsheng looked unconvinced and threatened.

"If I find out, you will be subject to military law."

Frightened like this, Zhao He was obviously a little flustered and began to stammer.

"Commander, his name is Zhao He, he is only sixteen years old, but he is very talented. He has learned to drive a tank after just one month of military service." A person beside him hurriedly explained. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other person in surprise.

These days there are many people who lie about their age to join the army, because my predecessor also joined the army at the age of sixteen.

So, he was not surprised by Zhao He's age of sixteen.

On the contrary, it was because the name was very familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere.

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't remember, so Cun Yunsheng simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"I didn't realize you were so talented in chariots? Can you ride a bicycle?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the other person, gazing him up and down.

When Zhao He heard about riding a bicycle, he looked disdainful.

"Bicycles are nothing. I was driving a car around the streets when I was fourteen."

After all, he is just a sixteen-year-old boy, and the pride on his face cannot be hidden.

"Oh, I didn't realize that you are also a kid from a noble family." Meng Fanle added.

Children from ordinary families cannot do this.

Zhao He did not refute this.

"Okay, I have a task for you. The logistics department has ten bicycles, and they are worried about how to learn to ride a bicycle."

"Milong has been bothering me for a long time and asked me to find someone to teach him. It happens that you can ride, so you go and teach them." Cun Yunsheng patted Zhao He, who was a head shorter than him, and said with a smile.

Zhao He's face suddenly fell. Go teach people how to ride a bicycle?

He was a tank soldier, but he did such a thing. He would be so embarrassed if anyone knew about it.

"What? You don't want to? Are you embarrassed?" Cun Yunsheng was also a child after all, and he knew that the most important thing at this time is face.

"Once you have taught them all, I will get you a tank and let you be the leader of the tank platoon."

When it comes to fooling people, Cun Yunsheng is very good at it.

Especially for a sixteen-year-old child, it is even easier to handle.

"Really? You're not lying to me?" Upon hearing that there were tanks and he could be a platoon leader, Zhao He suddenly became excited. He didn't care about the so-called face and asked with certainty.

"Of course, I never lie." Cun Yunsheng said solemnly.

Watching Zhao He leave happily, Meng couldn't help but shake his head in frustration. Another fool was sold out and still helped others count money.

The key is that she looked very happy, which made Meng Fan speechless for a while.

"Commander, why do you have so many bicycles? I see there are a lot more Yunnan horses in the regiment recently. Are you going to improve the food?" Meng Fanle expressed his doubts.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party and said lightly.

"The three armies have not yet moved, but the food and fodder must go first. How many days of food, drink, defecation and urination can be carried by just carrying it on shoulders?"

"Once we cross the river, we will find ourselves on jungle and mountain roads, and the supplies carried by people cannot go far."

"Bicycles are so convenient. You can put supplies in the front and back, and you can ride them, which greatly increases the marching speed."

"Not to mention the Yunnan horses, which are stable and have long endurance, and are suitable for dangerous mountain roads. Shouldn't we rely on them to carry those weapons and ammunition for us?"

"Don't you want to go there empty-handed? And then receive the weapons there?"

These words left Meng Fan speechless, and it took him a long time before he uttered a word.

"Isn't it?"

Not only Meng Fanle thought so, but Krupp also thought so. They wanted to transport the equipment by plane and then receive it at the airport.

"You are too naive, aren't you? Let me ask you, what if the transport plane is attacked by Japanese fighter planes halfway? And then falls down and encounters the Japanese army? What will we do?"

"Facing the Japanese army with empty hands?" Cun Yunsheng asked back.

"Am I so unlucky?" Meng Fanle said with a disdainful curl of his lips.

　Sorry for being late! It won't be like this tomorrow.
