Lin Zhenhua looked at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with expectant eyes, and he did not intend to hide it any further. He said with a serious face: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, Chinese characters are too difficult to learn nowadays. There are too many strokes. I think we should promote simplified characters. After greatly simplifying the characters, it will be much easier to learn."
"When we were carrying out literacy education before, I found that we didn't use pinyin to teach. It was very difficult for the soldiers to learn. It often took a long time to remember the pronunciation of a word, and they would forget it after two or three days. The main reason was that the soldiers rarely had the opportunity to write on weekdays. They had to train during the day and could only learn to read at night!"
Zhao Gang immediately understood what Lin Zhenhua was going to say next. He asked with a look of shock on his face, "College student, you mean to combine simplified characters with pinyin for the soldiers' literacy education. This is indeed a new idea that can greatly simplify the difficulty of learning. But there is also a problem, that is, traditional characters are still in circulation, and the use of simplified characters has not formed a conventional rule, which means that it can only be used within our base area and cannot be promoted at all!"
Li Yunlong thought this was a good idea. He interrupted Zhao Gang and agreed with a happy face: "Old Zhao, I think you are worrying about nothing. It will take one or two years to carry out literacy in our base area. You are thinking about things that will happen in a few years. It is totally groundless. Let's do the things in front of us first. We have to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one. Don't consider the impact of this matter. As long as it is beneficial to strengthening our strength, we should implement it vigorously!"
Lin Zhenhua also said, "We must complete the initial literacy education as soon as possible, and at the same time build schools to complete primary, high school and university education. Our base is very short of talent now. We must learn to cultivate talents ourselves and establish a complete talent training system. This is the way to long-term development!"
"I am responsible for everything in the Arsenal. I don't even have a deputy. Whenever there is a problem in the Arsenal, I have to solve it. Especially many of the drawings I drew, many workers simply can't understand them. I need to explain them repeatedly many times before they can understand what the parts they want to process are like!"
Li Yunlong knew that Lin Zhenhua was not lying. During the time when he was managing the arsenal, he was really busy and exhausted. Many things had to be piled up because they could not be handled. Every time Lin Zhenhua came back from the transfer station, he would stay in the arsenal for three days and three nights. He could only sleep three or four hours a day. The rest of the time he was explaining to the workers how to process parts and how to read drawings.
"Alas, all the workers in our arsenal are trained by college students. In order to enable these soldiers to understand the blueprints, the college students conducted three months of literacy education. Only then were 800 skilled workers trained, laying the foundation for our arsenal."
"Later, the Arsenal expanded twice, and the total number of employees has now reached 3600. The plan of using chickens to lay eggs has been successful. However, many problems have also emerged. The technical level of the workers is generally not high. They can only complete basic processing tasks. Slightly more difficult processing can only be completed by a specific hundred people, and the others can only watch. This situation has not changed until now."
"I once thought of targeting the workers at the Taiyuan Arsenal, but these skilled workers were either captured by the Japanese or evacuated with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Even if some of them were left behind, it would be too difficult to find them."
"Our base really needs to train our own talents to solve the problem of talent shortage. It is really difficult to recruit from outside. Our independent regiment was well-known in northwest Shanxi before, but no one came to join us. It really makes me feel uneasy now!"
Zhao Gang stood up and spoke a fair word, saying with a sigh: "Old Li, the war has been going on for four and a half years, and most of our territory has been occupied. Even if the international situation changes, the domestic situation will not change drastically in a short period of time. Just like what the college student said before, our situation will not get better in the next two years, but will get worse. We must be prepared to endure hardships!"
"Before, our independent regiment hid from place to place and never had a stable place. Now, because of the arsenal, we have to find a place to stay. This means that we must learn to fight a positional war with the devils. I can already foresee how difficult and hard it will be for the base in the next two years!"
"The problem of talent shortage cannot be solved from outside, so we can only train them ourselves. After we take over Ping'an County, we will immediately establish an education and training system. It may not be effective in three to five months, but as long as it continues for a year or so, it will definitely make a big difference to the appearance of our base!"
"A few days ago, a college student told me about hybrid wheat and hybrid rice. At that time, I felt like I was listening to a foreign language. But when I think about it carefully, it is not impossible to do. As long as we can increase the yield of crops, our food crisis can be solved. With enough arable land and high-yield food, we don't have to worry about food anymore."
"It is not a long-term solution to let the soldiers eat sweet potatoes every day. It will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. We must increase the supply of staple food. We must not save money in this regard. If there is not enough food, we can rob it from the Japanese, but we must not stop eating because of choking and try to solve the problem by reducing food supply!"
"In addition to the necessary staple food supply, they also need to increase the supply of meat. We bought a large amount of canned beef from Chen Minggeng before, which can be used to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers. The soldiers' mental outlook has been much better these days than before. With the large supply of cottonseed oil, the soldiers' stomachs have also been filled with oil and water, which has unexpectedly reduced the consumption of food. This is a pleasant surprise."
"The lives of the people in our base area are much better now. They can now have oil every day instead of eating it every three to five days. This year we plan to plant more cotton to increase the supply of cotton seeds. By this autumn, we want to ensure that the people can have oil every day."
Lin Zhenhua also interjected at the right time: "Old Zhao, it is easy to get stuck if we only rely on Chen Minggeng. We should increase the number of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks raised in the base. We can also raise cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland outside the transfer station city to increase the meat supply in our base."
Li Yunlong felt that the two were talking more and more nonsense. The most important thing at the moment was to attack Ping'an County. If Ping'an County was not taken, no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He interrupted them angrily and said, "Damn it, you two are getting more and more excited. I came here to talk about departure, but you two kept changing the subject. If I let you two continue talking, you must talk until the evening, which will delay important matters!"
"I'm coming here to inform you two not to forget to leave tonight. In order to confuse the Japanese, we have been sending troops to attack the Japanese blockade at night in the past two days. After several days of mobilization, the troops have arrived at the designated positions, and the army will officially march towards Ping'an County tonight."
"Lao Zhao, I have someone spread fake news. I am going to give it a try and see if we can find the Japanese spies and traitors hiding in our base. I have already handed this matter over to Lao Xing and given him two assistants. It shouldn't be a big problem!"
"Now I'm worried about another thing. The special operations company that had been out of contact before has actually sent back news. I think there is something fishy going on. You should immediately use the intelligence network in Ping'an County to investigate this matter. Yamamoto's special forces have been staying in Ping'an County. What on earth are they planning? We still don't know the answer!"
"Compared to other devils, I am most worried about Yamamoto Ikki. Zhu Ziming fell into his hands. This is a lesson for us."
Zhao Gang immediately understood what Li Yunlong was worried about. Yamamoto Ikki had not taken any action during these days, so Li Yunlong had to sleep with one eye open at night, for fear that a traitor instigated by the three Yamamoto Ikkis would point a gun at Li Yunlong's forehead.
It's not that Li Yunlong is afraid of death, but the Japanese assassination activities have been too rampant in recent days. A total of three battalion commanders and eight company commanders have been assassinated, which has caused panic among the people and forced Li Yunlong to attack Ping'an County in advance to completely resolve these hidden dangers.
"Old Li, we can't rush this matter. Let's take down Ping'an County first. Then, as long as we can catch Yamamoto Ikki and others, we can get the spies and traitors who hide the money in the base from their mouths. It's useless to say more now. None of us has a pair of sharp eyes and can't tell who is the Japanese spy and traitor!"
As they were talking, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also came over. All preparations before departure had been completed, and all supplies had been secretly transported to the designated location through the night raids in the past few days. Now it can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is missing.
Li Yunlong deliberately coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and laughed heartily: "I have good news for you all. Chu Yunfei has promised me that he will launch an attack with us on the same day to open up a land transportation line between the Independent Regiment and the 358th Regiment to exchange materials between the two sides."
"This is a great thing for us. Chu Yunfei has money and food, as well as the copper we urgently need, which is something that money can't buy. Damn it, Chu Yunfei is so lucky that he actually occupies a large copper mine and can produce a large number of copper ingots every day. He is so rich that even I drool when I see him!"
"The 358th Regiment started a business with the copper mine and turned it into copper coins to use as money. Unexpectedly, the common people were very supportive of it and Chu Yunfei made a fortune. The stored food is enough to last for half a year, plus the ammunition supply from the rear, no wonder this guy was able to hold on for so long!"
