Chapter 779 I, Li Kun, will shoulder all this hardship!

Zhanjiang District, former Zhanjiang Military Sub-district Office Building

Li Kun had just finished his breakfast and returned to his office. He was looking at the map and thinking about the battle for Yucheng after the New Year, when Zhao Gang's slightly angry voice suddenly rang out from outside the door:

"Lao Li! Lao Li! Lao Li!!"

?

Li Kun, who was in a focused state, was startled by the calls of "Old Li" and recognized it as Zhao Gang.

But then I thought, I haven't done anything wrong recently, why should I feel guilty?

Just when Li Kun was puzzled, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Zhao Gang walked in aggressively with a document in his hand.

"Old Li, please tell me, what's the matter with the words 'Zhanjiang Military Sub-district Deputy Commander Li Kun' on this transfer order???"

Hearing this, Li Kun's face lit up at first, thinking that Lu Chong was really awesome this time! But when he saw Zhao Gang's angry look, he quickly put away his smile and became confused:

"Hiss~ What's going on? Why did my superior suddenly transfer me to be the deputy commander???"

"This is too sudden. Could it be that the superiors think that Old Li is also a talent, so they decided to promote me?"

As the man who knew Li Kun best in the entire army, Zhao Gang saw at a glance that he was playing tricks, and immediately said unhappily:

"Don't play tricks on me! I asked, it was Lu Chong who recommended you to the higher-ups, tell me! Did you ask for it last time when you went to the Beibei gathering place?"

"You, Commander Li, are great. We are going to attack Yucheng in the spring, but your subordinates can't even get your face as the brigade commander. They don't hold pre-war deployment meetings, organize training, and even don't stay in the brigade!"

"I was wondering how busy you are as a brigade commander. It turns out that our artillery brigade has too small a pool, and you are busy running for office!"

bang~

Having said that, Zhao Gang slammed the document in his hand heavily on the mahogany desk!

Facing Zhao Gang's questioning, Li Kun, knowing that he was in the wrong, subconsciously narrowed his eyes and put on a fawning look, just like a Shiba Inu bewildered by a ghost.

"Old Zhao, my great Brigade Commander Zhao, calm down! Calm down! I just wanted to give you a surprise~"

"Brother, you are working like a thief outside, doing illegal work for that kid Lu Chong. Your life is even harder than that of a farmhand in the old society!"

"Why? Isn't it for the future of our two brothers? It's okay if we can't get promoted, but you, Zhao, are a great intellectual and a PhD graduate. I really can't bear to see you buried!"

"I know you are a scholar with pride and ambition, but I am just a peasant, I don't have these requirements. For you, I will shoulder all these dirty and tiring work!"

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao. I'll go up first this time. Won't it be easy to pull you up? After a while, when I've gotten familiar with the place and a transfer order is issued, we two brothers can reunite at the military headquarters!"

"By then, we two brothers will still be the best golden pair!"

Looking at Li Kun's cunning face with his eyebrows made, Zhao Gang felt angry and amused at the same time, and his anger mostly dissipated before it even came out.

"Go away~ Is this what I'm talking about?"

"We agreed that we were family, but why didn't you inform me in advance about such a big move?"

"I, Zhao Gang, am not a selfish person. As your good friend, I am definitely happy for you if you can move up, but why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"If I hadn't suddenly come to the agency to see you yesterday, would I have known about it last?"

"How can I explain this to my brothers in the artillery brigade? Tell them that the brigade commander is gone?"

Zhao Gang was filled with rage when he mentioned these things. Now he was in charge of the work of the entire artillery brigade. Not only did Li Kun, the brigade commander, run away, but he was not even informed of such a big thing. No one could stand this.

After listening to Zhao Gang's complaints, Li Kun quickly pulled him to sit down:

"Sit down, sit down! Lao Zhao, please sit down first. I'll make you a cup of tea! If you want to scold me, sit down first and scold me!"

"No matter how wrong you are, it's all our Lao Li's fault. Don't worry, I won't talk back no matter how you scold me today. I'm here to apologize to you."

As he spoke, Li Kun poured the tea quickly and skillfully.

"I know you've been working hard lately. I just handed the artillery brigade to you and ran away. It was our Li who was unkind. I admit it!"

"Come on, drink some tea to moisten your throat before you start cursing. You can curse as much as you want today!"

Seeing Li Kun's attitude of being willing to kill or cut, Zhao Gang completely lost his temper. After drinking a few cups of tea, his tone softened a lot.

"Stop being so rude. People who don't know me would think I'm some nagging woman!"

"I came here today to ask you a question: Do you still have time to manage the artillery brigade?"

"If you don't have time to take care of it, I will start arranging the work after the New Year. If you do have time to take care of it, just tell me a time. You can't let the entire army stop because of your personal reasons."

"During the time you were away from the brigade, a lot of work has been piled up waiting for you to come back and handle it!"

Hearing this, Li Kun's eyes turned, knowing that Zhang Gang had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and said:

"Then I'll trouble you, Old Zhao... Look at this... Right now, in Zhanjiang District and Jiangjin District, there are eight Yezhou infantry brigades crying for food. I want to take charge of our artillery brigade, but it is really..."

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Gang interrupted immediately upon hearing this.

"I understand. Since you are busy, I will take charge of the work in the brigade!" Having said that, Zhao Gang also stood up and prepared to leave.

"The last sentence, I understand you, you also need to understand me..."

“I won’t do it next time. I promise this will be the last time!” Hearing this, Li Kun put away his playful smile and promised with a serious face.

"Okay, don't send me off. No matter how busy you are at work, take care of your health. This time I brought you half a mutated beef that the soldiers hunted in the wild. Not only is it edible, it can also replenish your energy and blood."

"Take care of yourself, I'm going back first!"

However, just as the two were about to say goodbye, a staff officer came over.

"Report to the commander, an urgent telegram from the Zhanjiang Military Region!"

Zhanjiang Military Region? Was it sent by Lu Chong?

Thinking of this, Li Kun quickly took the file and opened it to read.

The 77th Corps was in turmoil?? Arranged soldiers to retire in batches? The 11th, 12th and 13th Infantry Brigades of Yezhou Infantry were transferred from the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district to supplement the Corps??

Seeing the information on the document, Li Kun subconsciously narrowed his eyes and thought about it. Then, as if he remembered something, he moved his gaze from the document to Zhao Gang.

cough~

"Old Zhao... I'm afraid you can't go back yet... I have something that I need you to do..."

?

When Zhao Gang saw Li Kun's expression, he immediately realized that this guy was up to no good, and warned him immediately:

"Don't think of hitting on me, kid. Our artillery brigade has a lot of work to do. I don't have time!"

However, Li Kun, who was familiar with Zhao Gang, did not give up the idea, but quickly revealed his signature mercenary expression:

"Our artillery brigade is a fire support unit, so we can put it aside for a while. Besides, don't we have the Chief of Staff? I will directly authorize him and let him take full responsibility!"

"Right now there is something more important than our artillery brigade. It is a task directly assigned by the commander."

"A task directly issued by the leader?" When Zhao Gang heard that it was a task issued by Gu Chengyuan, his tone softened.
