"Chief of Staff, Lao Li, the matter of purchasing equipment from the US government has become......" Weixian Ninth Army Department received a telegram from Qingdao. The excited commander Li Guosheng shouted directly to the two partners.

"I really didn't expect that the U.S. government, which has always put its own interests first, would agree to... - At the price of scrap steel, Is the U.S. government crazy?" Chief of Staff Jiang Baili asked incredible.

Li Guosheng nodded with a smile and directly expressed a news that shocked Chief of Staff Jiang Baili even more: "Chief of Staff, this time you miscalculated the amount... The US government not only agreed to all our conditions, but also gave us a free set of equipment for a small steel plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons of steel."

"What? How is it possible... Military Commander, why is this?" The two partners with a shocked look on Li Guosheng almost at the same time and asked in unison.

Li Guosheng smiled and directly told some of the analysis about himself in his mind: "The reason is very simple. The current US government needs us. The US government, which wants to open up China's huge commodity consumption market, urgently needs to find a pro-American local force in our country. And our Ninth Army, which completely controls the Ninth Army of the Eastern Special Administrative Region, was not a coincidence that it was selected by the US government."

"So, in order to avoid the goal you chose being swallowed up by other domestic forces in a short period of time, and to protect some of the benefits you are not easy to gain in the Chinese market. The urgent need for the US government to delay now is to use its own strength to strengthen our military strength, help us grow and grow, and help the US government protect their own interests in China."

After analyzing, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili finally understood why the commander Li Guosheng, who was in front of him, showed so confidently at the price of scrap iron. It turned out that from beginning to end, the US government was in Li Guosheng's calculation. Of course, while Li Guosheng was planning to plot against the US government, the US government was also using Li Guosheng to use the entire Shandong Special Zone occupied by the Ninth Army.

However, in Chiang Baili's view, these uses are very cost-effective as long as they do not cause losses to China's sovereignty and can also benefit from it.

Half a month later, the first batch of scrap steel from the US government successfully arrived and entered the raw material warehouse of the Ludong Arsenal in Yiyuan County. At the same time, the first round of transactions with the Japanese government was also completed. A total of 1,000 tons of copper ingots, saltpeter, and sulfur were also transferred to the Ludong Arsenal...

The raw materials for making gunpowder were available, and steel and copper ingots for producing ammunition and weapons were available. The entire Ludong Arsenal began to operate efficiently under the order of Li Guosheng.

The Arsenal was constantly producing and had continuous ammunition supply. Then, under the order of Commander Li Guosheng, the entire army gradually increased the live ammunition training volume...

Of course, urge the troops to increase training and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Li Guosheng did not forget the large amount of industrial equipment that had arrived continuously from the United States...

Because in the future, its own military-industrial enterprises will be established in Yiyuan County for at least a few years, and in the past few years, there will be no shortage of steel and coal resources in Yiyuan County. A steel plant with an annual output of 2 million tons of steel purchased by the US government at the price of scrap iron will be directly established in Yiyuan County.

As for the small steel plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons given free of charge by the US government, in order to ensure the supply of steel in Weixian, the military headquarters and the entire Shandong Special Zone, it was directly set up outside Weixian. As for the subsequent arrival of automobile manufacturing plants and aircraft manufacturing plants, it was also set up in Weixian for the sake of convenience of raw materials...

Establishing large steel mills, automobile manufacturing plants, and even aircraft manufacturing plants in eastern Shandong is definitely an unprecedented event in the entire Shandong Special Zone. In addition, following these large factories, like mushrooms after a rain, various small factories that have been discovered and quickly developed in the eastern Shandong area are mines that have been discovered and quickly developed. The entire Shandong Special Zone directly shows a prosperous scene to outsiders.

The troops were training, and ordinary people seized the time to carry out winter farming on the land they had just obtained, sowing their hopes. Countless workers were busy building factories and opening mines on major construction sites... Li Guosheng, the highest commander of the entire Eastern Special Zone, was ready to wait and enjoy the fruits of the harvest. A problem that he had never thought about since he came to this world was directly placed on Li Guosheng's desk.

"Marriage..." Looking at Chief of Staff Jiang Baili who was smiling in front of him, Li Guosheng immediately showed an inexplicable expression on his face. Then, he asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's marriage... Military Commander, I've been preparing to mention this idea to you very early. However, because there has been no time, and the entire army has been preparing for war, it has been dragged until now..." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili replied naturally.

Li Guosheng, who was from later generations and was very severely affected by later generations, certainly did not want others to interfere in his marriage and future happiness. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Baili finished speaking, Li Guosheng retorted bluntly: "Chief of Staff, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be my personal matter... Just be the chief of staff of our Ninth Army, why do you even interfere in my private matters..."

Jiang Baili seemed to have already understood Li Guosheng's rhetoric and rejection. However, he did not give up. He continued to analyze to Li Guosheng in front of him: "Military Session, you are not only the leader of the Ninth Army, but also the highest chief executive of the entire Eastern Shandong Special Zone, and the backbone of the tens of millions of people in eastern Shandong... Add to the agreement between our Eastern Shandong Special Zone and the National Government, if it were in ancient times, you would be a magistrate and a warlord outside the government..."

Seeing Li Guosheng in front of him who seemed to be refuting, Jiang Baili waved his hand directly and continued to speak: "Military, don't rush to refute first, listen to me first. See if there is any reason..."

With Li Guosheng's nod, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili continued to speak: "Military, whether you agree or not, whether you agree with what I just said. However, I know a fact that in the entire Ninth Army, more than two-thirds of the officers and soldiers are all obeying your orders. To put it more ugly, these people are your private army...."

"In the eyes of these people, you are the emperor in their hearts. They will fight with you all their lives. Similarly, you are also the pillar of the entire Ninth Army, the spirit of the entire Ninth Army... So, in the face of this situation, in order to ensure that the spirit of the Ninth Army is always there and the morale of the Ninth Army is always high, you must get married and have children in a short time. Let the brothers below know that even if one day you unfortunately die on the battlefield... Of course, what Bei Zhi said is that if, then the brothers below will not have any other thoughts and continue to support the young commander in the battle..."

Hearing this, Li Guosheng finally knew what Chief of Staff Jiang Baili wanted to say. He also knew the other party’s inner concerns.

After all, it’s nothing more than one thing. One day in the future, if you unfortunately die in the battlefield, you must leave a descendant, continue to lead a group of subordinates in front of you, and continue to fight the world. Let your brothers be free from worrying about your future in the future, or worrying about the future of the Ninth Army...

What is this... Isn't this the style of an ancient emperor? Did Jiang Baili and others in front of him regard themselves as emperors...

However, when Li Guosheng thought of the three eastern provinces separated from him, he felt relieved. The reason why Zhang Zuolin, a warlord of a generation, could ensure that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Army were not in chaos when he was suddenly killed. One of the very important conditions was that Zhang Zuolin had a son who inherited his mantle, that is, Zhang Xueliang, the young commander of the Northeast Army.

With Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal, even if I die, my gang of generals will still surround the young marshal and assist the young marshal to continue to fight the world and ensure the integrity of the entire warlord system.

However, Li Guosheng, who came from later generations, did not have the idea of ​​cultivating his descendants to serve as his successor. Thinking of this, he smiled at Chief of Staff Jiang Baili in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, you're over-thinking... I admit that there are indeed many people in the entire Ninth Army who blindly admire me. But I can tell you with certainty that I joined the army and fought not for myself, nor for the sake of building a country for my descendants, but for the sake of the entire Chinese nation to suffer less disasters and be able to prosper and become stronger sooner."

"As for your reminder just now, I also realized a very serious problem. However, don't worry, I will definitely eliminate the idea of ​​personality worship in the army in the shortest time. Ensure that one day I will be gone, and the troops can continue to fight under the command of the new commander..." Li Guosheng said with a firm look on his face.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili nodded without comment, but he still showed his face and said stubbornly: "Military, even if that's the case, your marriage will be tied... Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Dean Lan of the hospital... Now the whole army knows the relationship between you and Dean Lan. If you can't give Director Lan a title as soon as possible, over time, how do you ask the brothers below to view Dean Lan?"

"Also, since our Ninth Army entered Eastern Shandong, facing military threats from all sides, the tense nerves have never relaxed. Just so happen, the day of your wedding in the Military Captain, let our entire Eastern Shandong Special Zone and the entire Ninth Army relax and relax all the officers and soldiers..."

"Of course, there is more important. As our Ninth Army talks grow bigger and bigger, the pressure you are under will become greater and greater. Could it be that you have always asked a serviceman to take care of your daily life? I believe that no matter what, your wife is better than a serviceman with thick hands and yelling..."

Seeing that he had never given up, even Li Guanghua, who had been following him, seemed to be ready to come forward to speak. Li Guosheng finally gave in, but he still said with a firm look on his face: "Chief of Staff, you have said this, of course I can't continue to refuse. However, there is no need for President Lan to say that you can't interfere... What I want is the willingness of the two of them, not the purposeful arranged marriage..."

After trying his best to finally send Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and others away, Li Guosheng was just about to close his eyes and rest while tidying up his mind. When Chief of Staff Jiang Baili suddenly messed up his mind, a crisp knock on the door sounded again.

"Come in..." Li Guosheng, whose head was in chaos, frowned and spoke.

I originally thought that the person who came must be his adjutant. Just when Li Guosheng was about to look up and ask what was wrong, what surprised Li Guosheng was that Lan Ruoxin, who was wearing a school officer uniform and under the tightly tied belt, showed off her perfect figure, stood in front of him.

"Lanyuan...well...Ruoxin. Why are you here..." Li Guosheng subconsciously was about to call out Lan Ruoxin's position, but when he thought of the current relationship between the two, he quickly changed his words and asked.

"…..Standar Staff, it wasn't the Chief of Staff who told me that you asked me to notify me. Did I ask me to come to the Military Office to report?" Hearing Li Guosheng's sudden change of affectionate name, Lan Ruoxin's face just now showed a hint of blushing directly. Then, she asked in confusion.

"Chief of Staff..." Li Guosheng immediately understood the specific reason after hearing Lan Ruoxin's answer. Then, he said with a helpless smile.

"This chief of staff is really stubborn. He just won't give up until he achieves his goal. It seems that the two of us were targeted by the chief of staff..."

"Ah.....Staff, what was targeted by the Chief of Staff. What are these? Why can't I understand..." Lan Ruoxin's frown became deeper and asked in confusion.

Li Guosheng did not answer immediately, but stared at Lan Ruoxin who was frowning in front of him without saying a word...

Seeing Li Guosheng's hot eyes, Lan Ruoxin's face, which was already red, became even more red. After she couldn't stand Li Guosheng's hot eyes, she spoke up and said angrily: "Military, what are you looking at... Have you seen it before?"

Li Guosheng smiled embarrassedly, and then stopped hesitating, and asked Lan Ruoxin with a sincere look on his face, "Ruoxin, what do you think of me?"

"Military... Why do you ask this question... In my opinion, you are very good... The combat is very heroic, and very popular among the officers and soldiers. You have great prestige among the troops and the common people..." Lan Ruoxin replied inexplicably.

Li Guosheng, who was originally sitting on a stool, was born in a military life in his past and present, and had no experience in talking about love. Facing Lan Ruoxin's answer, Li Guosheng directly bypassed the desk and stood less than half a meter away from Lan Ruoxin. He stared at the other party and asked directly.

"Ruoxin, since that's the case, then let's get married..."

"marry….."

Lan Ruoxin's face suddenly showed a stunned expression. However, after the shock, an unknown surprise surged into her heart. After all, this was something she had always dreamed of after knowing Li Guosheng and falling in love with Li Guosheng. However, as a girl who had never experienced personnel, a trace of shy expression still enveloped her face in a flash, standing there, motionless.

Commander Li Guosheng, as a man, has nothing to be shy about. He directly hugs him strongly and holds him in his arms...

He felt that the other party's body was just trembling and there was no rejection. Especially when the other party was straight and his chest was soft, for a moment, Li Guosheng, who was in the brain, no longer hesitated. He hugged the other party tightly and pressed the other party's chest tighter. Then, he bent down and kissed the other party's tightly closed lips deeply.

Lan Ruoxin, with a shy face, was caught off guard and was kissed by the other party directly. However, although she had studied abroad, she was nervous, but not conservative. After only a brief shock, she opened her heart to Li Guosheng, whom she had admired for a long time.

Lan Ruoxin directly wrapped her hands around Li Guosheng's neck, hugged the other party tightly, gently opened her red lips, and let Li Guosheng taste his fragrant tongue...

Gradually, both the powerful Li Guosheng and the shy Lan Ruoxin began to become confused. The beauty was in her arms, and the desire that Li Guosheng had never had before began to arise naturally. With a direct effort, he reported the beauty in her arms. Regardless of the other party's opposition, he quickly walked into the lounge behind the office...

"No...no...guosheng...This is...the office, there are people outside..." Lan Ruoxin, who was blushing and was panting, quickly spoke.

However, at this moment, Li Guosheng, who had already been in the brain and was burning with desire, could not hear Lan Ruoxin's words. He directly put him on the bed, kissed Lan Ruoxin's lips again. Then, he bent down regardless of everything and pressed his huge body heavily on Lan Ruoxin's body...

"Ah..." A slight scream came from Li Guosheng's office, followed by a breath of breath sounded from the room. Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, who had been guarding the door of the office, directly showed a strong smile. He decisively ordered the guard behind him...

"Squad Leader Wang, immediately arrange a squad guard to guard ten meters outside the military seat office. Without military seat or my orders, anyone is prohibited from entering the military seat office..."

"Yes, Chief of Staff..."

Looking at the guards who quickly surrounded Li Guosheng's office, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili smiled directly at Li Guanghua beside him and said, "Old Li, it seems that it's time for us to prepare a wedding for the military captain..."
