Xu Renjie's office is always filled with smoke, and the nicotine content in the air is amazingly high. In addition to the ash, there are also strong teas that are almost as black as mud... These things look so terrible that every time they walk into the room, Su Hao has the urge to wear an oxygen mask.

As usual, the general held a cigarette in his mouth and threw a bound document: "This is a dispatch order issued by the military headquarters. Sign a letter and confirm it."

Before entering the office, Su Hao received a call from Xu Renjie and learned about the 11th Independent Forces being sent to the eastern front.

He did not argue or ask why?

Xu Renjie and Su Hao have already made a clear attitude, and Wang Qinian's role in the middle has greatly improved their trust. Since choosing to hand over the 11th Independent Force to Su Hao, it means letting him go. If you want to deal with Su Hao, you can send him out to perform any tasks alone. There is no need to pay a group of newly recruited recruits and as many as thousands of new equipment.

"Yuan Hao still has a lot of resentment towards you, and he has never been willing to let you go."

Xu Renjie kept frowning, with a gloomy and cold expression: "The Yuan family has a great say in the military ruling meeting. They insisted on asking the 71st Army to increase the support ratio and directly pointed out that they asked you and your troops to go to the Eastern Theater Command... Damn these guys' intentions are too obvious, and they are really ugly."

Su Hao was not in a hurry to look through the documents and asked: "Why?"

"How do I know why?"

Xu Renjie angrily smoked cigarettes: "Maybe it was the last incident that made the Yuan family feel unhappy, or it might be that Yuan Hao wanted to take revenge. After all, you have beaten the important heir of the Yuan family to become disabled, and you are still in the civilian area without giving Yuan Hao face in front of so many people. The cause in front and the result in the latter."

Su Hao felt a little wronged.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something like "You obviously sent a large number of troops to the scene at that time."

In the end, remain silent.

"Things are not as bad as you think. Just go and let the recruits feel the atmosphere of war in advance."

Seeing the change in Su Hao's expression, Xu Renjie slowed down his tone: "I have greeted the military department. For recruits, most of the time, there is no need to undertake the main combat tasks. I will make up for you as soon as possible. All new protective suits for this month will be allocated to you, and you will be able to go over and collect them later."

Su Hao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said seriously: "This is not in line with the rules. Why did the military headquarters suddenly issue a letter asking a new recruit to go to the war zone? This has never happened before, and..."

"It was proposed by Chief of Staff Chen Yanlin."

Xu Renjie's nostrils squirted thick smoke, which stimulated his eyes to turn red, and his voice became hoarse: "He submitted the results of the previous and next few recruit training periods, claiming that no intensity of training can replace the actual combat. The request below is usually not rejected, not to mention that this should be considered an active request for battle. In addition, the front-line battle situation does need reinforcements, and after a while, things have settled down."

Su Hao's eyes became increasingly confusing: "Replace training with actual combat? He really said so in the report?"

"I know what you mean."

Xu Renjie rubbed his eyes tiredly: "I don't understand what the old guy Chen Yanlin is thinking about? In doing so, it's not just our 71st Army that was dragged into the water. Other military regions will also be disturbed by this report and are forced to send new recruits who have not been trained. Of course, it is not undesirable to replace training with actual combat, but it must pay an extremely heavy casualties. This is equivalent to speeding up the formation procedures of civilian troops. Of course, there will be more veterans, but the number of people who died in battle will also increase exponentially. In the long run, it is a good thing to ease the situation, but the number of civilians outside the city will be greatly reduced, and even all of them will die.

Su Hao shook his head in disbelief: "He did this and almost stood opposite to everyone.

Xu Renjie squirmed his lips blankly: "Yes, I think he must be crazy."

Su Hao's eyes flashed with cleverness: "Even a madman, he has his own reasons to do things. Besides, Chief of Staff Chen Yanlin is normal. If there is no sufficient benefit, he will not do such a thing that makes everyone angry."

Xu Renjie raised his head and happened to meet Su Hao's inquiring gaze.

"You are very smart. However, this kind of thing is not something you can interfere with."

The general was frustrated and squirted with the ashes. He thought for a long time in the spicy and heavy smoke, and his angry expression slowly calmed down.

"Everything has two sides. Joining the war earlier will still be beneficial to you."

Xu Renjie's tone of speaking was obviously intended to motivate Su Hao: "You are an officer and a researcher at the Academy of Sciences. This is a good thing, which means that you can exercise power in both aspects at the same time. However, your weakness is also obvious - from a civilian to a lieutenant colonel, it may take ten years or even more time for ordinary people. And what about you? It only took a year and a half. Promoting too fast can easily lead to rumors. Due to the environment and the area, it is destined that not many people will see your achievements. The Eastern Front is a very good stage where you can play freely."

"Up to now, all your military rank promotion orders have been issued by me. It is easy to criticize this. If you can rely on military achievements and directly appointed as a colonel or a brigade general by the military headquarters, the voice of the opposition will undoubtedly be much smaller. It will be beneficial to you, me, and to everyone."

These words were said very sincerely, and Su Hao nodded constantly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, which had always been calm and steady.

At this moment, he truly felt that Xu Renjie was indeed planning for himself. No matter what the purpose hidden behind him was, the aspects that were beneficial to him always accounted for the vast majority.

"General, before departure, there are a few things I want to ask you."

"Tell me"

Su Hao tested his body and took out a vacuum hose from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table. Although the room was filled with smoke, it was enough to see clearly that the hose was filled with light red liquid in the faint light.

This is a weakened version of the energy potion, and the effect is exactly the same as the one Su Hao gave to Wang Qinian. Of course, there is no addition of calcine hormones and Su Hao's blood. The content of the formula is no different from similar potions in the future world. The most important material is silver bone.

Su Hao repeated what he said to the old fat man at the Academy of Sciences. He believed that Xu Renjie had already engraved every word he said deep in his mind like a brand. Because the general's eyes, filled with blood, had been releasing an extremely shrewd gaze.

After being silent for about half a minute, Xu Renjie asked bluntly: "Is this thing energy produced?"

Su Hao nodded: "Most formula materials come from mutant organisms. Although it is difficult to obtain, as long as the execution is increased, there should be no problem."

After pausing, Su Hao added: "When I was in the field hospital of the 915th Infantry Division, if it weren't for this kind of potion, Huanghe and I might have died long ago."

Xu Renjie slowly picked up the potion, leaned closer to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and the expression on his face was cloudy and sunny. However, it was obviously more to be soothing and calm.

"If you don't have the conditions, just take out this thing first... Too bad, Wang Qinian is a cunning greedy ghost, and his researchers have the same appetite. I know there is no free lunch in the world. But I must admit that this kind of potion is indeed a good thing and can save many people in a critical moment... Tell me what do you want from me?"

Su Hao stared at the general's face with a bright look: "My request may be a little too many."

Xu Renjie's slightly improved expression instantly became dark. He shook his head sarcastically: "It seems that I have to be prepared to be exploited and sucked by the landlord's old fortune? Maybe I should give you a nickname, Su Pai?"

Su Hao directly omitted this mockery: "The Academy of Sciences has obtained the energy potion samples I provide, and they will soon be able to make a new formula that will be further improved. In this regard, President Wang will not hide his personal information. We can take advantage of our technical advantages to create a new production line as soon as possible to enable mass production of energy potions.

Xu Renjie's expression slowly calmed down: "In other words, do you own some patents for this drug?

Su Hao said bluntly: "Yes."

Xu Renjie's eyes became sharp: "So, what do you want?"

“Five percent of the finished product, and your support.”

Su Hao smiled and said, "I need a batch of supplies, mainly weapons, ammunition, food, and medicines.

Xu Renjie didn't speak, but just squinted his eyes through the smoke and looked at him meaningfully.

"I have some friends in Kunming City. Their situation is not very good and they may be in danger at any time."

Su Hao did not want to hide his specific intentions, nor did he intend to tell them all: "You know, at the beginning, I received a lot of help from them, and it was because of them that I was able to survive the threat of zombies and death. I was lucky than them, and many people died, but I got everything that ordinary people dream of. I had to help them and do something for them."

Xu Renjie kept staring at Su Hao, and his deep eyes seemed to be enough to see through everything.

With the general's experience and experience, of course, he can distinguish what energy potions mean to combat troops.

Su Hao mentioned the Academy of Sciences and Wang Qinian, proving that he did not lie.

There is no doubt that once energy potions are mass-produced, their significance is no less than penicillin-like medical milestones. With Wang Qinian's shrewdness and stinginess, he will definitely hold this thing firmly and use it as a bargaining chip to get more benefits from the military.

With Su Hao's shrewdness, he would not be unable to see this. Since he was willing to reveal his secrets to himself, he naturally wanted to get some benefits from it.

Five percent of the finished products are not many, but if aid materials are added, it may be an exchange of equal value.

After all, Su Hao did not mention the specific amount of materials, which also shows his cunning in dealing with problems. The amount can be controlled by himself. Too much is of course a good thing, and if there is less, it will only cause adverse effects.

For some reason, Wang Qinian's vulgar, cunning and arrogant face suddenly appeared in front of Xu Renjie. Su Hao, who was sitting opposite the desk, gradually overlapped the image of the old fat man, and slowly became the same person.

"I knew there were no good people in the Academy of Sciences. The old scammers were just a bunch of small scammers, all of whom were full of bad water..."

Xu Renjie's mind was filled with an extremely vicious curse, but his face was filled with the elder's unique kind smile: "You should have more than that. What else is there?"

"Please be sure to maintain supplies to the 11th Independent Force."

"I need to double the weapons and equipment."

"The last request: Please keep my friend and wife safe in the base city."

Su Hao said a series of words one after another. Although his speech was fast, he could hear it clearly enough.

Xu Renjie did not express his objection. These demands were reasonable and not excessive. At best, the soldiers who were about to go to the front line were worried about logistics and relatives.

The general's tight face began to become loose: "Don't worry, the military and legal departments will not make the same mistake again

Su Hao laughed again.

This is actually a kind of exchange of interests.

Sooner or later, the energy potion will be developed by the Academy of Sciences. According to the trajectory of the future world, it will be put into mass production in a year, and then a high-level potion with stronger healing effects will appear. Before the real inventors, you can of course get more. As an ally of sharing interests, Wang Qinian and Xu Renjie have been invisibly tied together.

Su Hao really wanted to add a batch of new weapons and combat suits to the materials he requested. However, he knew very well that it would only cause trouble for himself if he proposed it now. After all, his friends in Kunming City were just a bunch of civilians. He could support some of their weapons and resources, but he would definitely not be the best and strongest.

Many things have to be taken step by step.

Su Hao looked at Xu Renjie with bright and clear eyes, smiled, and suddenly a rather evil thought came to his mind.

"General, can you give you some advice?"

"Yeah, say it"

"Smoke less cigarettes."

Su Hao's voice and expression are more sincere than ever: "That is bad for the body and will cause a series of diseases including cancer. In addition, it will also damage your reproductive system, which may never lift, or be impotence or premature ejaculation."

The gentleness that had just appeared on Xu Renjie's face frozen in an instant. Within less than five meters, Su Hao could hear the fierce and harsh teeth grinding sound from the depths of his tightly closed lips.

"It's up to you whether I smoke or not? Get out of here———"

The 11th Independent Forces' departure preparations were cumbersome and complicated. Because things came very suddenly, Su Hao and Yu Qian directly appointed Zhang Nanyi, Huo Ziwei and others as the team captains. He did not ask Xu Renjie to send a sufficient number of officers. The "worker bees" accounted for more than one-third of the entire army, and could completely form absolute control from top to bottom.

The Group Army's biological management department has injected all new recruits with first-level enhancement potion. It was an extremely solemn and wild and exciting scene. Since the outbreak of the virus, the image of soldiers in the eyes of civilians has been extremely mysterious. The word "strengthening man" is like a god in the eyes of civilians. Yes, the power and speed beyond ordinary people are the best capital to fight against mutated creatures.

At the injection site of the training camp, the recruits, with uneasy mood, extended their arms to the serious medical officer with great devout devotion, and watched the liquid in the syringe slowly injected into the blood vessels with trembling, fearful and excited eyes.

Many people cried loudly on the spot.

Many people laugh and dance like crazy.

Many people knelt down on the spot, muttered to the sky, and hit the ground with their foreheads hard, and desperately thanked the omnipresent gods in a way that harmed their bodies.

The medical officers have long been accustomed to this scene. They are injecting in an orderly manner, with extremely skillful process and very fast speed. It seems that the recruits passing by are not humans at all, but cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks waiting for the disease prevention vaccine in the feedlot.
