Chapter 95: The terms of exchange for the army



"President Wang, I am now officially reporting the dangerous situation."

"If you refuse, you will have an unshirkable responsibility for future food production cuts."

Chen Jianan looked serious.

"I won't say anymore!"

"I am the president. Even if there is a reduction in food production in the future, it is my responsibility. It is not your turn to make irresponsible comments!"

Wang Defu snorted and picked up the teacup.

This means he is leaving and he is not going to talk anymore.

Chen Jianan turned around and left. What needed to be done had been done and there was no problem with the procedure.

"Village Chief Chen, what should we do?"

"If the disaster is really serious, no one will recognize your village's record of producing 1,000 kilograms per mu."

Fang Xiaolin chased after him worriedly.

She was really worried about Chen Jianan.

"Without Zhang the butcher, will we have to eat hairy pigs?"

"Wang Defu neglected his duties and disregarded the overall interests of the commune for his own selfish reasons. He will pay the price in the future!"

Chen Jianan looked towards Wang Defu's office with a stern look.

"But, what are you going to do next?"

Fang Xiaolin was so anxious that her face turned pale.

"Director Fang, thank you for your concern."

"Next..."

Chen Jianan looked ahead and had an idea in his mind.

After leaving the office compound, he rode his bicycle away as fast as he could.

About ten kilometers away from Hongqi Town, there is a military camp.

Chen Jianan rode his bicycle to the door.

"Who?"

The sentry trotted forward and stopped the bicycle with his hand.

"I am Chen Jianan, the head of Xiaoheyan Village, and I am looking for a company commander named Ye Qiuxiong."

Chen Jianan introduced himself and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Looking for Captain Ye?"

"You wait here."

Ye Qiuxiong is apparently a celebrity here.

The sentry asked another sentry to keep watch while he went in to report.

About ten minutes passed.

The sentry is here.

Not only himself, but also a tall young man in military uniform followed him.

"Village Chief Chen."

Ye Qiuxiong shouted loudly.

"Captain Ye."

Chen Jianan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party coming to greet him personally.

It seems that this person is still nostalgic.

"Village Chief Chen, please come in, let's talk inside."

Ye Qiuxiong seemed very enthusiastic.

In fact, this is not just because the two people knew each other.

Moreover, he was conquered by Chen Jianan's marksmanship.

Since joining the army, Ye Qiuxiong was most proud of his marksmanship.

Compared with Chen Jianan, he pales in comparison.

After he came here, he had been itching to discuss shooting techniques with Chen Jianan again.

Today the opportunity suddenly came.

In the military camp, teams of soldiers were training and shouting uniform slogans.

Chen Jianan watched the scenes, which brought back familiar memories in his mind.

His military career was an indelible moment in his life.

The Hongqi Town Military Reclamation Farm does not grow grain, but grows vegetables and engages in livestock breeding.

Although it was not the autumn harvest season, their production tasks were not heavy and they spent a lot of time on training.

There has not yet been the large-scale disarmament that occurred in later generations.

A regiment usually consists of 1,500 to 2,000 people.

The Military Reclamation Corps is a special logistics branch with a large scale and a number of 2,500 people.

It can produce in peacetime and fight in wartime, and is a force that cannot be ignored.

Ye Qiuxiong led Chen Jianan all the way inside and arrived at their own camp.

Chen Jianan took a quick look and found it clean, tidy, simple and elegant, which was the usual style of the military camp.

"Village Chief Chen, what do you want from me?"

"As long as I can do it, just tell me."

Ye Qiuxiong went straight to the point.

He did not forget that he lost the last shooting competition and owed Chen Jianan a favor.

Chen Jianan nodded and repeated the situation that it was going to rain.

"You want the army to help with the autumn harvest in the village?"

Ye Qiuxiong was a little dazed.

"Yes, now only your army has the ability to complete the harvest."

Chen Jianan said in a deep voice.

In fact, he had already thought it through before he went to find Wang Defu.

Even if Wang Defu was willing to help, with the strength of Hongqi Town, it would be impossible to complete the autumn harvest.

Going to the commune to report was just a way of completing official procedures.

The only one who can really be relied upon is the Military Reclamation Corps.

"But this is not against the rules."

"We are the military, how can we casually get involved in local affairs?"

Ye Qiuxiong frowned.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but he has never experienced this before.

"Rules are made by people."

"At present, not only our Heilongjiang Province attaches great importance to food, but the whole country is in a state of food shortage."

"If the autumn harvest is delayed due to heavy rain, it will be a loss for everyone."

Chen Jianan recalled how miserable the people of the Zhou family had been in their previous life due to the reduction in production caused by disasters.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll take you to ask the leader for instructions!"

Ye Qiuxiong wanted to help Chen Jianan.

He immediately got up and took Chen Jianan to the regiment headquarters.

In the regiment headquarters.

The head of the group, Zhang Weiguo, was concentrating on studying a report in his hand.

He raised his head only after Ye Qiuxiong came in.

"You have a better nose than a dog, kid. I just got two bottles of good wine, and you already knew about it?"

Zhang Weiguo looked at his beloved general and scolded with a smile.

But when he saw a young man in plain clothes behind him, he was stunned for a moment.

"Captain, I'm not here to drink for free, I have a real purpose!"

"This is the village chief of Xiaoheyan Village, Chen Jianan."

Ye Qiuxiong introduced.

"Village Chief Chen, this is our Captain Zhang Weiguo."

"Hello, Captain Zhang."

"Um……"

"Village Chief Chen, what do you want from me?"

Zhang Weiguo took a few looks and found that the village chief was surprisingly young.

Since Ye Qiuxiong brought him here personally, he still had to give him some face.

Chen Jianan did not delay and directly told him the whole story.

"Captain Zhang, we must act without delay. Heavy rain may fall at any time, and the food supply will suffer heavy losses."

Chen Jianan said in a deep voice.

"Um……"

Captain Zhang pondered.

There is no precedent for this.

"Captain Zhang, if you are willing to help, I can pay you according to the market price."

Chen Jianan knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

It's impossible to ask others to help you for free.

"Oh, so your village is rich."

Zhang Weiguo was a little surprised.

In his impression, those village chiefs were all old foxes and extremely stingy.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jianan took the initiative to offer compensation.

"Our village has a good harvest this year, and the output is far greater than in previous years."

Chen Jianan is quite confident.

"But the army is the army after all. Can we let the soldiers go to work?"

Zhang Weiguo shook his head.

If other people knew about this, it would inevitably lead to gossip.

"Or I can just not pay you."

"Donate a batch of food to your military reclamation group..."

Chen Jianan's expression changed and he spoke slowly.

"oh?"

"Village Chief Chen is really thoughtful."

Zhang Weiguo didn't expect that Chen Jianan's mind worked so quickly.

"The military and the people are one family."

"If you really help us with the autumn harvest, I will not only donate a batch of grain, but also write a letter of thanks to your leaders."

Chen Jianan's words just hit the spot for Zhang Weiguo.

In this way, you have both the inside and the outside.

The military reclamation group does not grow grain and buys it from the village every year.

Now, if you help with the autumn harvest, you can get a batch of food for free.

It may gain a reputation for helping local production, killing two birds with one stone.

"Village Chief Chen, I agree in principle."

"However, large-scale military movements need to be reported to the higher-ups."

When Zhang Weiguo thought about this, he had already made up his mind.

"Okay, please hurry up."

When Chen Jianan saw that he agreed, he felt relieved.

There was a dedicated telephone line on Zhang Weiguo's desk, and he picked it up and dialed it.

"Hello, Commander Guan, I'm Zhang Weiguo, and I have something to tell you..."

Chen Jianan listened quietly on the side.

Generally speaking, military farms have a high degree of autonomy.

This kind of thing just requires reporting, and usually the superiors will agree.

However, as I listened, I noticed that Zhang Weiguo's expression became serious.

Chen Jianan had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Weiguo hung up the phone and smiled bitterly.

"Master Guan said that we need to study it and will reply in a few days..."

"What?"

Chen Jianan frowned.

If we spend three to five days studying, it will be too late!
