Chapter 204 You Want to Retire
"Let them go?! I risked my life to bring them to the safe zone, and you want me to let them go. I will lose a lot of money! Fighting a war is like doing business. You can't do business at a loss!"
Yuan Shuai snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Losing deal?! If it weren't for the wolf pack's help, we would have lost countless brothers! Now that we're driving them away, it's not considered a loss!"
"When the Japanese really come, we will have to fight and cover their retreat at the same time. By then, I don't know how many brothers will die. By then, you will have cried so much that your tears will dry up!"
Lu Huahua urged Jiang Zhengwu again.
Yuan Shuai continued to snort coldly.
"You are right. If there were no wolves, we really don't know how many brothers would have died. But don't forget who led us to the Wild Wolf Valley. Was it you, Lu Hua? Was it you, Jiang Zhengwu?! Without them leading the way, we would never have been able to shake off the Japanese so quickly! So, this time when we took them to the Wild Wolf Valley, we not only shook off the Japanese, but also earned a lot of weapons, ammunition and Japanese canned food!"
"You guys, don't always treat me as a burden. I have my own strengths, and we should take advantage of them!"
"What good can they have?"
"They don't have any advantages except that they can farm!"
"Farming is also an advantage! We can't keep stealing food from the devils. We still need to develop our team, so we need people to farm. Also, in addition to rice, we also eat meat, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, pigs, don't they all need people to raise them?"
Hearing this, Lu Huawei and Jiang Zhengwu looked at each other in astonishment.
They now understood that the reason why Yuan Shuai brought these common people with him was that he wanted to gather them together to start side businesses!
There are more than a hundred ordinary people, and nearly a hundred of them have production capabilities.
If we build a farm and let these people grow crops and raise animals, then they will have guaranteed food in the future!
The three of them discussed it and decided to do it.
At night, Yuan Shuai asked all the soldiers who had served as hunters to gather together and set traps around the area in the dark.
These people used to be hunters when they were in their hometown.
Especially the bandit veterans of the Black Wolf Army such as Hu Dacai, are all veteran hunters.
When the brothers knew that Yuan Shuai wanted to catch it alive and take it back to raise, all the hunters were stunned.
"Boss, can we feed these pheasants and rabbits?"
"These are all wild animals, with very bad tempers, and I don't think we can keep them alive!"
"If you really want to engage in breeding, why don't you buy some chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs from the common people?"
"Nonsense, how many days does it take for eggs to hatch? I'll buy a hundred eggs and you hatch them! This is an order, follow it!"
Although these old hunters were a little unhappy, they had to leave with their tools.
After sending these people away, General Yuan asked Lu Hua to gather all the wolf soldiers who knew how to make bamboo products, and asked these soldiers to cut bamboo and make bamboo cages overnight.
But what he didn't expect was that many men in the wolf soldiers could do it, which made him very happy...
However, Zhang Wei on the other side saw them making bamboo products and quickly arranged for someone to go over and inquire about the situation.
"What? Yuan Shuai is planning to do both planting and breeding?!
"He must be crazy. We are soldiers. Soldiers should go to the battlefield to kill the devils. He actually wants to take off his armor and return to the fields!"
"No, I have to talk to him!"
Zhang Wei quickly ran to Yuan Shuai with the signalman.
Yuan Shuai is making bamboo products with the soldiers.
He worked very quickly and had already made half of the bamboo cage.
Looking at his skillful techniques, these old bamboo craftsmen couldn't help but praise him.
"Boss, aren't you from the northwest? How come you can make bamboo cages?"
“And it’s so fast!”
"Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and claim to be a bamboo craftsman, but you can't even keep up with me. How shameful!"
The bamboo craftsmen around him blushed with embarrassment and hurried to speed up.
Zhang Wei ran here with his men and snorted coldly at Yuan Shuai.
"Yuan Shuai, come here for a moment, I have something very important to discuss with you!"
"Can't you see I'm busy? We're all brothers, so just talk here!"
"You...Okay, then I'll talk to you. You are the leader of the Black Wolf Army, a team that fights the Japanese, and you are a soldier. The Japanese haven't been killed yet, so how can you take off your armor and return to the countryside? To put it nicely, you are afraid of death. To put it bluntly, you are a deserter!"
The Black Wolf Army brothers around wanted to get angry.
Yuan Shuai coughed a few times to stop everyone from getting angry.
Yuan Shuai did not get angry, but asked back with a smile.
"Who told you that I'm going to retire?"
"Needless to say, you have already started planting and breeding. Isn't this just retiring to the countryside?"
"Nonsense, if the devils haven't been killed yet, why would I take off my armor and return to the fields?"
"Then what do you mean?!"
"There must be many bamboo craftsmen among your Hunan Army. Call them all to help, and I will tell you!"
"I... Damn it, Xiaokai, call someone, call everyone over here. In Hunan, any man can do this kind of shit!"
Zhang Wei raised his head and chest out proudly, and even started to take action while speaking.
It's no wonder that Hunan has a large area of bamboo. All common people, especially men, can use bamboo to make bamboo cages, shoulder poles and other bamboo products. They can even make dragons out of bamboo, which are used for dragon dance lanterns during the Chinese New Year.
These bamboo cages are certainly no problem.
Sure enough, after the four hundred Hunan troops arrived, they took quick action one by one.
There were more than 300 Wolf Soldiers and about 400 Hunan Army soldiers, totaling more than 700 people.
With so many people working together, a lot of bamboo cages were made in a few hours.
"That's enough, stop sitting here. If you sit on it again, it won't be transported anymore!"
Yuan Shuai was so amused by their speed that he quickly asked them to stop.
Zhang Wei then asked.
"You can say it now!"
Yuan Shuai didn't waste any time and told them about his plan to set up a breeding base.
After listening, Zhang Wei stopped talking.
Because he felt that Yuan Shuai really wanted to build his own team.
He looked back at his brothers, thinking that if his men followed Yuan Shuai, their lives would definitely be better in the future, at least better than in the National Army.
Because they are now much better off than when they were in the National Army.
If you want weapons, you have weapons; if you want cannons, you have cannons; if you want canned food, you have cans.
But in the National Army, they were still raised by their stepmother.
He said tentatively.
"Well, General Yuan, we brothers won't be able to find the main force for a while, so why don't we follow you first? What do you think?"
After saying this, he looked at Yuan Shuai with pleading eyes.
