Gao Yidao was very surprised to be stopped by Xiao Hongying. "Hey! You little girl, you are so arrogant, what do you mean? Do you want to rob me? Or do you want to duel?"
Xiao Hongying looked around with her big eyes, and when she was sure that no one was around, she spoke: "I want to discuss something with you."
Gao Yidao pretended to look up at the sky and said, "I said the sun doesn't seem to rise from the west today. Do you feel guilty or did you take the wrong medicine? Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"
Xiao Hongying ignored Gao Yidao's sarcasm and said seriously, "I want to discuss a business deal with you, not bicker."
"Do business with me?" Gao Yidao laughed. "Not to mention you, even if I put all of Class 9 together, there's nothing I'd like. What can you trade with me? I'm not interested!"
"gun."
"I have a gun."
"Thirty-two Hanyang-made ones."
"Haha, can you please make a draft before you brag?"
"Plus twelve Type 38 rifles with bayonets." Xiao Hongying kept her serious expression and continued to increase the order.
Gao Yidao looked at Xiao Hongying's serious behavior. If this wicked girl was talking nonsense, what was she trying to achieve? "I said, can you..."
"Fourteen steel helmets, forty-three leather belts, forty-three water bottles, twelve sets of ammunition boxes, and more than thirty sacks." Xiao Hongying ignored Gao Yidao's nonsense and continued to list the items.
"… "
"Oh, by the way, there are ten Japanese lunch boxes."
"There are fourteen steel helmets, but why are there only ten lunch boxes? And where are the other two Type 38 rifles?"
Gao Yidao was a little confused by the number reported by Xiao Hongying, but he began to believe it. Not only because of the serious demeanor of the little girl, but mainly because Gao Yidao quickly determined from the items and the quantity that this was the equipment of a squad of Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet troops. If the little girl was just bragging, then this bragging was too reliable, and it really needed to be drafted in advance.
"Why so many whys? Just tell me whether you want it or not?" The little girl wanted to do business and didn't have the energy to dwell on all these details, so she went straight to the point.
Gao Yidao thought about it and seemed to understand. When the bastard surnamed Hu led the little girl and the others back from Wuming Village, there were two more Type 38 rifles. There were four of them, and it seemed that each of them had one in their lunch box, so the number matched. However, they said that they killed two Japanese sentries on the road, so where did these things come from? There was only one possibility, they lied about military intelligence! So a new question arose, how could the four of them defeat so many enemies? Gao Yidao felt that it was impossible based on his experience, but he could not think of a reasonable explanation.
Seeing Gao Yidao was in a daze and didn't answer, Xiao Hongying thought he was overwhelmed by so many things, so she continued to urge him, "Speak! Do you want to or not?"
Gao Yidao heard the voice and recovered from his concentrated thoughts, but his expression changed and he put on a meaningful smile: "Haha, let me ask you, where did you get these goods?"
Xiao Hongying noticed the change in Gao Yidao's expression and was a little puzzled. With such a large number of goods, Gao Yidao was not tempted? It was impossible, right? These were all things he wanted in his dreams. What was wrong with him
"You don't have to worry about it. I'll ask you one last time, do you want it? If not, then we can just go our separate ways!"
Of course Gao Yidao was tempted by this batch of goods, and he was very tempted. But he also figured it out. The fact that the 9th squad lied about military intelligence was definitely confirmed. He had been looking for the little braid of the surname Hu everywhere but couldn't find it. Today, this wicked girl took the initiative to deliver it to his door. If I don't catch her, then what justice is there? If this matter is exposed to the regiment, then you, the surname Hu, may have to pack up and leave.
Then, Gao Yidao's expression suddenly turned cold again, and his tone became obviously higher: "Silly girl, have you forgotten the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, huh? Battlefield seizures must be returned to the public, didn't you commit a crime! Lying about military intelligence to deceive the organization, didn't you commit a crime! Trying to make a private deal without telling your superiors, didn't you commit a crime? I think it's time to lay off your warlord-style squad nine!"
"… "
This time it was the little girl's turn to be speechless. She finally figured out what was going on. She didn't expect that Gao Yidao, this bastard, would put hatred before interests! His awareness was too poor! Compared to her, he was a world away from her. He was so shameless!
"Gao Yidao, stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you mean!" Xiao Hongying's face also darkened. If the deal fails, then benevolence and righteousness are meaningless. Don't expect me to be a vegetarian.
"I am a company commander in the Eighth Route Army. Do you think I am as dirty as that guy surnamed Hu? Girl, you are young and ignorant. This must be all instigated by that guy surnamed Hu. You must not make mistakes again, okay? Tell me, where are all the stolen goods hidden?"
Oh, in the blink of an eye, these are called stolen goods. The little girl immediately realized that Gao Yidao wanted to take the things for free and also wanted to report the crime and get the credit. This idea was perfect. However, this also made the little girl realize that Gao Yidao was also thinking about his so-called "stolen goods". This was good news. As long as you have this intention, I dare to play dumb with you!
"Bah! Gao Yidao, don't give me that. Do you think I was brought up by fear? If you dare to show off, I will still dare to show off! Who is afraid of who?"
Gao Yidao saw the two girls with pigtails shaking in anger, and he felt amused and proud. "What? You want to be a rogue now that you can't hide it? Are you trying to kill yourself by pulling out a grenade? You little girl, I'm telling you, it's useless. This is a big deal, no one can cover it up!"
"Who said I was going to pull the grenade? Who said I was going to cover up this? I'm also telling you, I dare to find you to do this deal today, so I'm not afraid of you thinking about it. I don't need you to sue me. I'm going to find the political commissar now to turn myself in and explain myself. By the way, I'll sue you for knowingly blackmailing. None of us will have a good life. The gun is hidden far away, and naturally the first company outside will send people to get it. By then, I'll see if you, the disabled second company, can get a single hair! You want a gun? Dream on!"
Xiao Hongying acted fearlessly. After she finished speaking, she took small steps towards the regiment headquarters without hesitation or ambiguity. She wanted to intimidate Gao Yidao, but she was also half sincere because she had already thought about surrendering herself.
In Gao Yidao's mind, the temptation of such a large batch of equipment must be greater than Hu Yi's personal vendetta. As for the awareness of abiding by discipline, that is to educate others and scare Xiao Hongying, otherwise he would not be Gao Yidao. This wicked girl is very fierce, she is a god who dares to do what she says. If the matter is really exposed to the regiment, it is unknown how the surname Hu will punish her, but the equipment will not be the second company's share, so it will naturally be in the hands of the first company.
Alas - Gao Yidao sighed helplessly. He really couldn't control this damn girl. It was impossible to kill two birds with one stone. So, let's talk about the deal.
The little girl who was walking away with her head down was stopped by Gao Yidao. "You are so cruel, you little girl!"
"Do you want it?" The little girl didn't waste any words.
"Yes! Make some conditions!"
"All the equipment belongs to you, but you also have to bear all the responsibility. How these things came from has nothing to do with Class Nine in the future. You, the Second Company, have to dig this hole yourselves!"
Xiao Hongying's idea is to shift the responsibility and drag the Second Company into the water, letting the Second Company find a way to solve the problem. Even if the matter is exposed again in the future, the law cannot hold everyone responsible, so what can the regiment do!
Gao Yidao lowered his head and thought about it. It felt a bit shameful that our Second Company had to clean up the mess for his Ninth Squad. However, we could directly get the equipment of a full armored platoon. It was worth it!
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the goods and then report you to the regiment headquarters?"
"Afraid. So I want you to swear to me on your military honor." Gao Yidao was not an easy guy to control, but Xiao Hongying knew that he was a man who cared a lot about face. Swearing, the oldest but least secure method, was the most effective for Gao Yidao.
"make a deal!"
"I will give you a map showing the location within three days."
Then the two of them turned around and went their separate ways without saying anything else.
