Chapter 190 You are really a worm in my stomach. You know everything I am thinking! 3-word chapter!
Li Yunlong smiled and replied, "Sister Xiuqin, the college students have good intentions, so you should accept it! The villagers work hard all year round and can't earn much money. On weekdays, they can't even have enough food. How can you use your money to give extra meals to the soldiers? I'll make the decision on this matter. I'll use the college students' money to buy meat!"
"Besides, this is the good intention of the college student. We can't let him down. It can let the soldiers eat more meat. The college student is happier than eating honey! Sister Xiuqin, just take the money and go buy the meat. The political commissar and I have things to do, so we won't see you off!"
Zhao Gang also immediately persuaded, "Comrade Xiuqin, Lao Li is right, just accept the money. You should have heard about the personalities of college students. We can't let him down!"
Zhao Xiuqin saw that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were busy. She had met the college student several times and knew that he was an honest person. She did not dwell on the matter any more. She smiled at the three of them and said, "Captain, Political Commissar, I will leave first. I have to go to the market to buy meat and stew it for the soldiers at noon."
After Zhao Xiuqin left, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang continued to take Chu Yunfei to Xiaobaozhuang.
"Captain Li, Political Commissar Zhao, your team is very popular among the people. The people are even willing to spend money to buy meat for you. It seems that you do a lot for the people in your daily life!" Chu Yunfei said with some sigh.
Li Yunlong smiled and replied, "It's the busy farming season. Except for two battalions left behind to garrison, all the other members of our independent regiment are helping the people harvest food and farm. The precious food is the people's staple food, so we have to hurry and harvest it. If it rains, we won't have anywhere to cry!"
Zhao Gang also chimed in, "In fact, the closer it gets to this point, the more worried I am. The Japanese will definitely not let us collect grain so safely. Plus, there are two divisions of Japanese soldiers eyeing us covetously in Taiyuan. This year, we collected grain three days earlier than in previous years, so that even if there are some emergencies, we can respond in time!"
Chu Yunfei also knew that harvesting grain in advance would definitely have some impact on production, but compared to the damage caused by the Japanese, this loss was really nothing. After all, once the Japanese took action, the people would have to hide in the mountains, and the grain in the fields would be even more difficult to protect. In the end, it would all be taken away by the Japanese. Instead of doing this, it would be better to harvest the grain in advance so that even if they fled into the mountains, they would have food to eat.
"Captain Li, Political Commissar Zhao, I will take Xue Changkun away in a while. Just send me here. I don't have anything to do here. You should hurry up and get busy collecting grain!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not bother to be polite with Chu Yunfei. After sending Chu Yunfei to Xiaobaozhuang, they returned to the headquarters of the independent regiment and called Lin Zhenhua over, intending to carry out a large-scale transformation of the independent regiment's base.
Li Yunlong pointed to the map of the base and said, "College student, what you said before is very right. To develop industry, we must first build roads. The roads in our base are rugged, and even horse carriages are not easy to travel. Once the plan of exchanging materials for equipment is launched, the huge transportation volume will cause great trouble to our independent regiment. It is time to solve the road problem!"
"These rugged roads can effectively hinder the mechanized march of the devils, but they also have a huge impact on our development. The small cement factory we built before was blown up by the devils. I plan to find a new place to build a cement factory. This time we must build it stronger. After all, once our arsenal starts construction, the devil's fighter planes will definitely come frequently. The anti-aircraft guns in our hands are not enough to deal with the attack of the devil's fighter planes. In this regard, you college students have to think of more ways!"
Lin Zhenhua stepped forward and said, "Old Li, we will soon have more than half a division's worth of equipment and more than 30 machine tools arriving. We really need to re-plan the base and designate a special reserve area. The road leading to the arsenal must be repaired. Only in this way will it not affect the production of the arsenal!"
"Old Zhao, once we start the plan of exchanging weapons and equipment for supplies, the Japanese will definitely not let it go. They will definitely arrange spies to sabotage us. We must be prepared in advance. Once we enter the market trading area, no one is allowed to carry firearms. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the transaction."
"When the Japanese carry out assassinations, they are very powerful. We have to be on guard against this. We can also use the voucher that Xue Changkun made before. I think we can make some improvements on it. We can make a batch of vouchers with different denominations and trade them directly in the market. When the merchants leave, they can exchange the unused vouchers for dollars. Over time, credit can be formed, and our independent regiment can also gain huge benefits from it!"
"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, these are the specific rules for trading at the market that I wrote. You two can take a look at them and give us your opinions. If there are no problems, we will implement them in two days!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not expect that Lin Zhenhua was so thoughtful. They looked at each other and began to read the document carefully. It covered every detail and could be used directly. Neither of them had any objections. They exchanged glances and decided to do so.
"College student, with your help, many things are easy to do. I was planning to ask you for advice, but I didn't expect that you had already thought of a solution. You are really a worm in my stomach. You know everything I am thinking!"
Lin Zhenhua hurriedly stopped Li Yunlong from continuing to speak, and replied with a disgusted face: "Old Li, you can't talk, so don't say anything. I am the roundworm in your stomach. You really want to disgust me so much that I will vomit my breakfast!"
"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, let's not waste time on small talk. Let's get down to business. We still have more than half of the division's equipment that has not been shipped back. However, with the transportation capacity of our independent regiment, it is impossible to ship it all back at once. This has made me lose my appetite these past few days. I have been worried about this matter. Fortunately, I finally thought of a solution, and now I will tell you about it!"
When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard about this matter, their faces immediately turned serious. They knew how difficult this matter was. The reason why they had spared no effort to send Xue Changkun away as soon as possible was also related to this matter.
"College student, if what you said is true, Lao Zhao and I will fully support you, and the entire independent regiment from top to bottom will obey your orders!"
Lin Zhenhua cleared his throat and said carefully: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, I have sent Heshang and Duan Peng to attack the surrounding bandit strongholds. We plan to eliminate all the bandits in the strongholds. When the time comes, we will transport the equipment to the strongholds and hide them temporarily, and then secretly transport them back at night. Our independent regiment now has a total of 20 trucks. As long as the road conditions are good, we can definitely make a trip in one night without any problem."
"In fact, I am not worried about the weapons and equipment. What worries me most is the more than 30 machine tools. It is not a small project to move them. I think it is better for us to prepare more people in case of emergency."
In fact, Li Yunlong still hasn't figured out how much equipment a division has, because this is based on the configuration of the Third Reich's army. A division has about 105 people. Of course, there are no tanks or armored vehicles, and these are old equipment that have been eliminated before. Compared with the current equipment of the Third Reich, it is not a little bit worse. But if compared with the Japanese, it is really not worse at all. There are even 12 120mm heavy artillery and four mm heavy artillery.
Until now, Li Yunlong still didn't know what method Lin Zhenhua used to trick the Third Reich into paying such a huge price. Those were heavy artillery of more than 105 mm. Until now, Li Yunlong had never even seen them. If his independent regiment was really equipped with these big guys, he would dare to lead the independent regiment to attack Ping'an County as long as he could eliminate the Japanese fighter planes.
"College student, what I am most concerned about now are those dozen heavy artillery pieces. With those heavy artillery pieces, our independent regiment can truly fight the devils head-on. Of course, what you said before is also quite right. Without the protection of fighter planes, no matter how powerful the heavy artillery is, it is just a living target for fighter planes and cannot survive for long on the battlefield. But our independent regiment has no way to deal with the devil's fighter planes. Before, you told me that as long as there are enough machine tools, you can build airplanes for me. Did you fool me before?"
Lin Zhenhua rolled his eyes helplessly, and replied angrily and amusedly: "Old Li, I really didn't fool you before, but I forgot one thing, that is, we don't have enough skilled workers. I'm afraid that after the machine tools are installed, no one will use them. This is my biggest headache at the moment!"
"Lao Li, even if you don't come to see me today, I will still come to you. You and Lao Zhao have to think of a way to find some skilled workers for me. Otherwise, if I just rely on my hands, how long will it take to make a fighter jet? Even if you can wait, I can't. I won't do anything that will damage my own brand!"
Li Yunlong had no idea what to do with this matter, so he looked at Zhao Gang. After all, Zhao Gang came from a big city and definitely had more ideas than him, Li Yunlong, in this regard.
Zhao Gang pondered for a moment before replying in a leisurely tone, "Lao Li, college student, don't rush this matter. I'll write a few letters and send them out first. We'll talk about it after I get a reply!"
"Old Zhao, let's do as you say for the time being. I'll send a telegram to the brigade commander later to see if he has any solutions. Now is a turbulent time, we have to be careful in everything, we must not provoke the Japs. The Japs from those two divisions came at the wrong time. If they had come later, our arsenal would have already been put into production, and we would have nothing to be afraid of!" Li Yunlong said with a curse on his face.
