However, the pickaxe hit the deputy battalion commander's palms so hard that they trembled violently and hurt a lot.
He couldn't help frowning.
"Deputy Battalion Commander, you are just like us." The old soldier took the lead in making a fuss.
The soldiers around couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I just don't believe it." After saying this, the deputy battalion commander spat into his palm again, then glared and smashed it down again.
This time it is slightly better than last time, but the effect is not very good for hard soil.
Just when the officers and soldiers of the army were at a loss, hundreds of workers carrying shovels, pickaxes and hoes on their shoulders poured into the park like a flood.
Yuan Fangguo's face was full of surprise.
The old director also hurried to Yuan Fangguo's side, "Boss Yuan, the workers have all come here on their own accord. How many electric poles are there that have been burned?"
"About fifteen."
"There are almost 150 workers here, just 10 per pole." The old director nodded, then he shouted loudly, asking the workers to occupy the poles in groups of 10.
With the help of these 150 workers, at around 1:00 p.m., all the old telephone poles were cleared out and all the new poles were planted.
The officers and soldiers of the army quickly laid cables in the park.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the investigation team formed by the military region arrived at the scene. When they saw the mountain full of hard-working workers, they couldn't help but look surprised.
The leader of the team was the director of the Security Department, with a rank of 24. This veteran who had participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam could not help rubbing his eyes after seeing the scene in front of him. He could not believe what he saw.
Seeing this, Yuan Fangguo hurried over and said, "Hello, Chief. I am the buyer of this land. My name is Yuan Fangguo."
"Did you do all this?"
Yuan Fangguo smiled. "This was all a spontaneous action by the workers. Uncle Wang is also a worker at the machinery factory. Everyone knows that damaging military communication facilities is illegal, so we want to minimize the losses before the commander arrives. We've also coordinated with the troops from Damiao Town to come and help. All losses will be borne by us, so we hope the commander can be flexible. Uncle Wang has had it tough too. He never imagined there were military communication lines inside."
The head of the Security Department nodded. "I understand your difficulties. Since you've all started a 'people's war,' we, as your own soldiers, can't hold you back. Before I came here, the commander specifically told me to do everything we can to protect our people. Now that I see this, I can declare our investigation team disbanded right here."
Upon hearing what the Director of Security said, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the outcome wouldn't be too difficult for Uncle Scar.
The old director also came over at this time, dragging his staggering steps, "Commander, you see we are already doing our best to rescue him."
The security director smiled and nodded. "Old leader, you've worked hard. Let's leave this matter here. Let the workers leave. Our military district can handle this ourselves."
"What about Wang Dafu?"
"Let it go today."
The old director was very excited and shook the security director's hand tightly, "Thank you, thank you..."
At the end, the old director did not forget to say, "Commander, to be honest, I am really not used to it without Wang Dafu bickering with me every day."
"Is that?" The Director of Security couldn't help but laugh, "I talked to him when he was in the Security Department. You know, when he first entered, he was very excited and said that we would not fight the Vietnamese devils, but instead deal with his compatriots. I heard that I wanted to take off my military uniform and beat him up, but after he calmed down, he found that he was also a cute person."
"Commander, that's his personality. He looks careless and impatient, but he's actually a good person. Boss Yuan was planning to build a park for the families of our machinery factory. He wanted to speed up the process so that it would be easier for the construction team to come in and work. So, he got carried away and built a fire park."
"Mr. Yuan is the one who contracted the former Machinery Factory Employees Hospital and cooperated with the Military Region Hospital?"
The old director nodded, "Yes, that's him."
In fact, when the old director said the three words "It's him", he was obviously talking to Yuan Fangguo, but the security director did not notice it.
"He's a pretty good guy. Not only does he provide support and comfort to disabled soldiers, he also builds a park for you on a voluntary basis. I'll go visit him sometime."
Upon hearing what the security director said, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but laugh, "Commander, I am Yuan Fangguo."
The security chief was startled, staring at Yuan Fangguo intently. After a moment, he said in surprise, "No way, so young."
"I'm not young anymore. I'm almost 30." Yuan Fangguo said humorously.
"He's young and talented," the security director nodded in praise. "If this park is built, Mr. Yuan, I have a suggestion."
"Oh, please go ahead, Chief."
"We now have some plans for recuperation and information for disabled soldiers every year. I think you should build the park and a building next to it. Then report to the leader and maybe we can put it here. We can't just let General Yuan run without letting him eat grass, right?" After saying this, the security director looked at Yuan Fangguo meaningfully.
His words immediately stirred up ripples in the old director's heart again. It was precisely because of Yuan Fangguo's selfless dedication that the employees of the entire machinery factory respected him very much. Just now, more than a hundred workers basically came over spontaneously carrying their tools at the mere words of Yuan Fangguo.
