Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

Chapter 166 Opinions!

Political Commissar Wang nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

"This worry is not unfounded."

"You saw what happened between Li Yunlong and Cheng Shifa when we were in the 772nd Regiment."

"One was good at fighting, the other followed the rules, and what was the result?"

"They have a small argument every three days and a big fight every five days, and the brigade headquarters has to clean up their messes."

Brigade Commander Chen picked up his teacup and took another sip of water.

He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said something that Political Commissar Wang hadn't expected.

"Old Wang, what do you think about me sending Xiuying to the New Second Regiment?"

Political Commissar Wang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Old Chen, you're just trying to save face."

"Mingming Yang clearly stated in his letter that he wanted Comrade Xiuying to go, yet you've been going around in circles for so long."

Brigade Commander Chen also smiled, but his smile was somewhat helpless.

"I'm not trying to save face."

"I am seriously considering this."

His tone became more serious.

"Xiuying has been doing political work for many years. She has rich experience at the grassroots level and has also done underground work in the White Area. She has dealt with all kinds of people."

"It wouldn't be difficult for her to persuade the new recruits in the Second Regiment."

"Moreover, she is a woman, so the soldiers are more polite to her, which is beneficial to the work."

After listening, Political Commissar Wang nodded.

He thought for a moment, then added another sentence.

"Moreover, now that Comrade Xiuying has gone to the New Second Regiment, we don't need to worry about her working in other places."

"Aren't you less troublesome too?"

Brigade Commander Chen glared at him, but there was no anger in his eyes.

"Old Wang, are you joking with me?"

Political Commissar Wang waved his hand, his smile still lingering.

"No, no, I'm only thinking of you two."

"Think about it, Comrade Xiuying was busy with work in other provinces, while you were in Shanxi."

How many times a year do we meet?

"If she went to the new Second Regiment, although it's more than 40 miles away, at least it would be more convenient for you to visit her and for her to visit you than it is now."

Brigade Commander Chen opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But it turned out that what Political Commissar Wang said was indeed the truth.

He was silent.

He really rarely saw her.

If she went to the new Second Regiment...

Commander Chen rubbed his temples, suppressing those thoughts.

"Let's call her over and ask her first."

"Let's see what she thinks."

Political Commissar Wang nodded.

"Okay, let's call them over and ask them first."

Brigade Commander Chen called out towards the door.

"Correspondent!"

"arrive!"

"Go and call Comrade Wang Xiuying here."

"yes!"

Footsteps echoed in the courtyard a few times before fading into the distance.

The room fell silent again.

Commander Chen picked up the letter on the table and read it again.

Less than fifteen minutes later, footsteps were heard again in the courtyard.

"Report."

Wang Xiuying's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Wang Xiuying walked in.

She was wearing a neat military uniform, with her hair tucked behind her ears.

Her gaze swept around the room, and when she saw that Brigade Commander Chen and Political Commissar Wang were both there, a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"Old Chen, you were looking for me?"

Brigade Commander Chen pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Please sit down."

Wang Xiuying sat down, her gaze shifting back and forth between Brigade Commander Chen and Political Commissar Wang.

"What is it?"

Brigade Commander Chen did not speak immediately, but instead pushed the letter on the table over.

"Take a look at this first."

Wang Xiuying took the letter and began to read it.

Her expression didn't change much as she glanced at the first paragraph.

Upon reading the second paragraph, she raised an eyebrow slightly.

Upon seeing the third paragraph, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to laugh but held it back.

She finished reading the letter, put it down, and looked up at Commander Chen.

"Was this written by Tianyang?"

"Um."

"He wants me to be the political commissar of the new Second Regiment?"

"Not a political commissar, but a political work advisor."

"In his letter, he said that the ideological development of the new Second Regiment was not keeping up with the pace of the army's development, and he wanted to ask you to go and provide guidance for a period of time."

After listening, Wang Xiuying did not rush to answer.

Her gaze lingered on Commander Chen's face for a long while, as if trying to read something from his expression.

Brigade Commander Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and cleared his throat as a cover-up.

What do you think?

Wang Xiuying did not answer his question directly, but instead asked him a question in return.

"Old Chen, did you call me here to hear my own thoughts, or have you already made up your mind?"

Brigade Commander Chen put down his teacup and looked at her.

"I want to hear what you have to say."

"If you want to go, then go."

"If you're not willing, I'll send someone else."

Wang Xiuying remained silent for a moment.

She didn't answer immediately, her gaze fixed on the view outside the window.

After a long while, she finally spoke, her voice a few degrees calmer than before.

"I know a little about the situation in the new Second Regiment."

"The last time I ran into Tianyang and Li Yunlong at the entrance of the brigade headquarters, I chatted with Tianyang for a few minutes."

He said the training in the new Second Regiment was good, but the ideological work was not keeping up.

"At the time, I thought that if we could improve the political education of this team, its combat effectiveness could be raised to another level."

She paused, then turned her gaze from the window back to Commander Chen's face.

"Old Chen, as you know, when I was doing underground work in Shanghai, I came into contact with all sorts of people."

"Students, workers, farmers, businessmen, all kinds of people are here."

"Later, when we arrived at the base area, we mostly came into contact with cadres and soldiers, but the approach was the same."

"People need to understand from the bottom of their hearts what they are doing and why they are doing it."

"Most of the new recruits in the Second New Regiment were young people who went directly from the fields to the battlefield."

"They knew they had to fight the Japanese, but they didn't know why they had to fight the Japanese, who they were fighting for, or what their lives would be like after they fought the Japanese."

"These principles cannot be fully understood simply by company and platoon leaders shouting slogans."

Brigade Commander Chen listened without saying a word.

But his gaze never left Wang Xiuying's face.

"So, you're going?"

Wang Xiuying smiled, a smile that carried an indescribable composure.

"Where I work doesn't matter?"

"The Second New Regiment needs people, I'll go."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Commander Chen again, her eyes filled with a hint of mischief.

"Besides, aren't you reassured?"

"I went to work in another province, and you worry about me every day."

"I went to the Second New Regiment, which is over forty miles away. It's right under your nose!"

Commander Chen was taken aback by her words and opened his mouth to refute her.
