Chapter 18 The Commander's Right-Hand Man

  As it turns out, the person who is most delighted about tonight's unexpected turn of events is Lin Hongfei. Pei Guangrong's unintentional slip-up tonight has finally made Lin Weiguo believe that Pei Guangrong has ulterior motives in this matter. If he indeed has ulterior motives, then those words he said before are not trustworthy, right? Lin Hongfei believes that his old man will not fail to think of this point.

  He also knew that Lao Yezi was not very comfortable in his heart, no matter who he became. When you know that your best and most trusted friend is actually calculating you behind your back, you won't feel comfortable in your heart. It's better to be uncomfortable than to have your family broken and destroyed by being calculated.

  Lin Weiguo took Liu Fengcai's special permit and went to get his gun, which gave the armory manager a fright!

  Five Type 81 rifles, if they were to fall into the hands of society, would cause great panic. How could Commander Liu make such a... well, it seems somewhat disrespectful to call it absurd, but how could he make such an ill-considered decision? Even the armorer had some doubts whether Lin Weiguo had forged Commander Liu's signature.

  "Chief of Staff, may I make a call to the headquarters?" The armorer's hand reached under the desk and asked Lin Weiguo cautiously.

  "Of course." Lin Weiguo smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand, and quietly took a step back, indicating that he didn't need to be tense.

  He could understand why the armorer was so cautious and vigilant, five military assault rifles, this matter is too big, although no bullets were mentioned, a rifle without bullets is like a fire poker, but still can't be careless, who dares to guarantee that there are no stray bullets outside? As an armorer, during non-military operations or exercises, encountering such a "large-scale" military equipment leakage situation, it is natural to be cautious and careful, otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty.

  Seeing Lin Weiguo's attitude, the firearms administrator felt a sense of relief in his heart, but the hand that stretched under the table did not come back... Lin Weiguo naturally knew that there was a pistol fixed on the desktop under the table, and when necessary, the firearms administrator would unhesitatingly pull out the gun and fire.

  Due to the special nature of this position as an armorer, this is also a privilege that armorers all have.

  Let's get back to the story. Lin Weiguo, as the deputy chief of staff of the military sub-district, was only in his 40s and had a bright future ahead of him. What could have driven Chief of Staff Lin to "destroy the Great Wall"? Anyway, the armorer couldn't think of anything, and the tension and caution earlier were purely instinctual.

  A moment later, the armorer who had just verified with headquarters hung up the phone and looked much more relaxed. With a terrified face, he said to Lin Weiguo, "Chief of Staff, it was really..."

  Lin Weiguo waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and smiled, "Xiao Ma, if you hadn't made this call just now, I would have criticized you instead. The fact that you made the call shows that you are a responsible comrade who takes your work seriously. Only by handing over the armory to such a responsible comrade can the leaders of the military sub-district feel at ease."

  Deputy Chief of Staff Lin not only did not criticize himself for his previous actions, but instead praised him? The armorer Xiao Ma was stunned for a moment, and the next instant, his face turned red with excitement, stood up, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Chief of Staff, I...I..."

  The very responsible armorer apparently did not expect to receive such treatment, originally prepared to be criticized, suddenly stunned, and excited words could not be spoken coherently.

  If this were to happen in ten or twenty years, the armorer would not think so. He would probably think that Lin Weiguo was either showing off his magnanimity or preparing for a showdown with himself. But people at that time were simple and straightforward, especially soldiers. If they praised you, it was genuine praise, and they wouldn't play tricks like settling scores after autumn.

  Lin Weiguo smiled and waved his hand, "Can I have a gun now?"

  At this time, the armorer finally woke up like a dream and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Chief of Staff, I'll go get the gun for you now."

  …………………

  When Lin Hongfei and Lin Weiguo arrived in front of the car, they were surprised to find that, apart from the driver, there was actually another soldier waiting there.

  As the deputy chief of staff of the military division, Lin Weiguo naturally had his own dedicated vehicle. According to regulations, Lin Weiguo was entitled to a dedicated car, bodyguard and driver. Of course, the dedicated car could not be a Santana, which cost over 200,000 yuan per vehicle, and there were only a few such vehicles in the entire Beijiao City government departments, let alone the military, which had been subject to severe budget cuts in recent years. Lin Weiguo's dedicated car was a 212 Jeep, which performed well due to good maintenance.

  What made Lin Hongfei curious was that this soldier was not the guard of his own father, but he looked somewhat familiar. Seeing Lin Weiguo coming over, the soldier who looked familiar to Lin Hongfei saluted him and said loudly, "Chief!"

  "Hello, Little Wang," returned a military salute to this soldier without insignia, "are you ready?"

  "Reporting to the superior, ready."

  "Then let's set off." Lin Weiguo nodded and said.

  Lin Hongfei glanced at him a few times and asked in a low voice, "Dad, who is this?"

  "This is Captain Liu's guard, Little Wang," Lin Weiguo knew why his son asked and explained to him, "Because this matter is relatively important, I discussed it with Captain Liu this morning, and let Little Wang follow me for the next few days."

  "It turned out to be like this," Lin Hongfei thought for a moment and understood why Lin Weiguo wanted to do so. This was clearly to let Commander Liu Fengcai understand the progress of the project development on this side at any time, and having someone by Commander Liu's side was also an indirect way of expressing his own intentions to Commander Liu.

  Lin Hongfei had to admit that his previous idea was too simple, and the old man's approach was the most reliable. After all, this was a high-powered military assault rifle, and if it accidentally fell into society, the impact would be immeasurable. Assigning two people as bodyguards was absolutely not excessive.

  With that understood, Lin Weiguo smiled and extended his hand to this "imperial envoy", saying, "Mr. Wang, thanks for your trouble over the past few days."

  The word "Mr." sounds so elegant, in Xiaowang's impression, it seems that only university professors and other cultural talents are called "Mr.". Mr. is a very noble title, ordinary people absolutely cannot be called "Mr.", just like you can't call your fellow soldier "Commander".
