Su Tianyu hummed and replied, "You're the big brother, you should take care of me... instead of fleecing me. Doing this can easily damage our brotherly relationship."

"A little money affects our brotherly relationship?" Zhao Weihu glanced at him and cursed, "Then what good are you as a younger brother?"

While the two were chatting nonsense, a guard outside walked in and shouted, "Commander, dinner is ready."

"Let's go, eat!"

...

Ten minutes later, at the entrance of the canteen, Zhao Weihu, with his pants legs rolled up, sat on the cool stone steps, holding a bowl of zhajiangmian (noodles with savory soybean paste) in his left hand, which contained some braised meat and two cloves of garlic. With chopsticks in his right hand, he started eating with loud slurps.

Su Tianyu originally thought that the other party would treat him with good wine and food, but he didn't expect that he would only ask the kitchen to cook some noodles. But he was also hungry, so he followed Zhao Weihu's example, scooped a large bowl, and added two spoonfuls of fragrant chili oil to the braised meat before sitting on the steps to eat.

The two chatted as they ate.

"Xiao Yu, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Zhao Weihu had developed the habit of eating quickly after being in the military for many years. He devoured the noodles, which made everyone else's meal taste better.

Su Tianyu frowned and asked, "If it's not about donations, then I really don't know what you want to do."

"Donations don't solve the fundamental problem, and the association isn't just yours. Even if I ask you for it, how much can you give?" Zhao Weihu looked at him, paused, and said, "Cooperation and mutual benefit are the key to moving forward."

"How do we achieve mutual benefit?" Su Tianyu replied.

"After I took you around, did you discover any business opportunities?" Zhao Weihu asked with a smile.

Su Tianyu blinked his eyes, "Investing in building a factory? That's too slow, right? We're not strong enough to do that right now! Hmm... a hospital?"

"That's right!" Zhao Weihu immediately nodded, "It's a hospital!"

"That's not very interesting, is it?" Su Tianyu paused for a moment and replied, "How many people does your Chi Army have on staff now?"

"Fifteen thousand!" Zhao Weihu replied proudly.

"Big brother, we're all on the same side, can you stop bragging?!" Su Tianyu replied speechlessly, "We've been fighting for more than a year, and your channels for replenishing troops are limited. How could it be more and more?"

"...I mean... in the next two years, there will definitely be fifteen thousand people." Zhao Weihu immediately tried to make up for it, "Currently, the establishment of four regiments has more than five thousand people, all of which are understaffed. Some people in the Renmin Army have tried several times to revoke my military designation, but if this army-level designation is gone, the military expenditure will be at least halved, so I can't accept it. Fortunately, the military equipment business has helped a lot. With this connection, I can speak with confidence."

"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded and replied, "Big brother, I'll say whatever's on my mind. You're saying you only have five thousand good people, and I came all the way here to build a hospital, that... that's not worth it, is it?"

"What I'm talking about is not building a hospital for the Chi Army." Zhao Weihu pointed outside the courtyard and replied, "But contracting the battlefield hospital project from the official army!"

"Damn, there's even contracting for this kind of thing? I've never even heard of it." Su Tianyu was dumbfounded, "Can't the official army do this themselves?"

"They can't do shit. The battlefield hospital is the most troublesome thing for the higher-ups." Zhao Weihu explained softly, "I'll ask you, how many years has the education system in Mo Nan been interrupted?"

"That's been a long time. Most areas should have had a break in education since the Era of the Founding." Su Tianyu replied.

"That's what I'm talking about. The rich and powerful have all run to other districts. The rest of these people have difficulty even staying alive, so how can they engage in education?" Zhao Weihu said mercilessly, "Most of the people here have no education. So how can they produce medical personnel?!"

"They can be trained. Although this industry has a threshold, it's only for doctors. It's not difficult for ordinary nursing workers to become skilled through practice, right?" Su Tianyu retorted.

"It's not difficult. But after you've just trained a batch, a shell comes over and blows them all up. What do you do then?! Or after they've learned the skills, they just run away. What do you do then? There's a problem of attrition and loss here." Zhao Weihu replied softly, "In addition to medical personnel, there are other difficult problems to solve. For example, the transportation of medical supplies, and the construction of field hospitals... all of this requires a large number of logistical personnel to operate and guarantee. But the official army has difficulty absorbing young and strong soldiers, so how can they be willing to fill all the people into logistics?"

Hearing this, Su Tianyu slowly nodded, "That's indeed a problem. The foundation here is too poor."

"Now the official army has money. They've fought well this past year or so and recovered a lot of territory. The Renmin Army has made a lot of investments under the table. I heard that there are also investments from the Hua District." Zhao Weihu turned his head and glanced around, and said in a low voice, "They have money, you have people, and you have resources. This is where you can cooperate! Build convenient field hospitals, contract all medical care, medical equipment, and supplies. They pay you a lump sum. This will not only reduce the logistical pressure on the official army, but you can also make some good money!"

Hearing this, Su Tianyu's eyes lit up, "The problem is, will the higher-ups let us do it?"

"If I'm here, they will!"

"Then what do I need to do for you? Big brother?!" Su Tianyu asked askance.

"If you want to do it, I'll take 20% of the profits!"

"Big brother, if I lick your dick, can you only take 10%?" Su Tianyu asked, "We... we have to organize resources for this."

"Even if you suck my dragon! The money can't be less." Zhao Weihu glared and cursed; "Don't be too greedy at a young age. If this thing really works out, you're going to make a lot of money."

"I have to discuss this with the people in the association. I can't make the decision myself." Su Tianyu blinked his eyes and said, "But if it's really stable, they should be willing to do it."

"Don't worry, I will absolutely guarantee the safety of your personnel. We can sign a contract with the higher-ups to build hospitals only in the rear support area, not on the front line."

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with them!" Su Tianyu agreed immediately.

...

Two days later.

The guard company commander under Tang Zhengde brought more than twenty military supply vehicles to the Chi Army defense zone.

"Brother, the goods have been recovered!" The company commander shouted in broken English.

Su Tianyu smiled and shook hands with him, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Bonus! The rest of the bonus!" The company commander made a gesture of twisting money with his fingers.

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, let's count the goods first. Come in, come in!" Su Tianyu greeted him.

In this way, a group of seven or eight people entered the barracks.

After ten minutes, Zhang Chao walked in from the outside and whispered to Su Tianyu, "The goods are all correct, nothing is missing!"

"Alright!" Su Tianyu smiled and stood up, giving Fei Guantou a wink.

Inside the barracks, Tang Zhengde's deputy company commander was drinking water and chatting with a loud voice. Su Tianyu led Fei Guantou to the door, looked around with a smile on his face, and whispered, "Go, bring in the manure scooper from the door! Smash it on his head!"

"How many times should I smash it?" Fei Guantou asked fiercely.

"Smash him until his hairstyle is the same as yours, and that's the end!" Su Tianyu replied.

Fei Guantou turned and left. After half a minute, he took the manure scooper into the barracks and came to the company commander with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong?! Brother!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, you sit down! I'll get you some food!!" Fei Guantou waved his hand with a smile.

The company commander bent over and sat down.

"Bang!!"

Fei Guantou smashed the scoop on the other person's head, splattering dung and blood.
