Although the Kuomintang troops used iron barrel tactics to surround all the Communist base areas, there were still several blind spots.
Most of these places have deep forests and dangerous roads, which are not suitable for garrisoning. However, it is difficult for the Communist Party's armed forces to rush out in large numbers. They can only infiltrate in small groups through the forest paths.
Trickles can merge into rivers, and the Communist Party's armed forces use this method to break them into parts, and then break them into parts again. By the time the first grain transport ship arrives at the edge of the field, there are already thousands of people gathered here.
Thousands of horses.
Because the water was too shallow, large ships could not dock, so they used the small sampans that came with the ships to transport all the food, cloth and other supplies to the shore. Then the people on the shore carried all the supplies on their shoulders and draped them on their bodies, and walked through the forest.
The path leads back to the base camp deep in the mountains.
Sheng Muyi's cronies only knew that the eldest lady had made a big deal with the Communist Party. He often heard about how the Communists were, but after seeing these people, he was still shocked.
Although all of them were sallow, skinny, and severely malnourished, they were able to burst out with amazing strength. Each of them carried two hundred kilograms of grain and a piece of cloth in his hand, and then walked as fast as flying.
This was still done by using small sampans to unload the goods, which would take a lot of time. If the big ship could only dock, he estimated that it would take less than two hours to unload all the goods on the big ship.
The captain of the big ship felt a little unbearable when he saw the physical condition of these people. He took out the dry food on his ship, gave a share to these people, and said: "You are hungry, eat something first, and then do it when you are full."
live."
These people looked at the dry food in his hand and declined very politely.
Due to this method of unloading, it took an afternoon to unload all the cargo on a ship, and then these people mysteriously disappeared.
They didn't say a word to the cargo owner and the ship's boss. This was an order so as not to implicate these people later.
"Who are these people?" the cargo owner exclaimed.
"I think they are the same people as us, but it seems that they haven't had enough to eat for a while. If they continue to be hungry like this, they may fall ill." The boss of the ship said.
"With these grains, they can recover," the cargo owner said.
That evening, Mr. Dong received a message from the headquarters: The goods have been received, thank you.
They also thought that this was all the work of Lu Ming alone, but they did not know that this batch of goods was mainly the work of Sheng Muyi, also known as Q.
"Oh, we arrived so quickly, everything goes well, right?" Lu Ming also felt a little strange.
"It's fast to walk along the Yangtze River. Fortunately, it was calm along the way. This is destiny." Mr. Dong said.
"What destiny? You are superstitious and cannot have it." An Yi retorted, and she herself laughed after saying this.
Lu Ming's worried heart was half relieved. The other two ships carrying arms were still on the way. He hoped that his life would be so good.
People don’t believe in fate when everything is fine, but they believe in fate when everything is in trouble.
Mr. Dong still has a doubt in his mind. Since the last time he sent the opinions of comrades of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee to the headquarters, he has not received a reply. It seems that the opinions at the headquarters are not unified.
He was a little afraid, lest the headquarters would issue a strong order asking the Shanghai Underground Party to launch a riot by force, in which case all the comrades would be exposed to the eyes of the enemy.
"Lu Ming, I heard that the Kuomintang gave you a medal. Your action is also worthy of a big medal. We have already asked for credit from the higher ups." Mr. Dong said with a smile.
"I do this all on my own, there is no need to give me any reward." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Lu Ming, I'm just kidding you. If our revolution succeeds and we establish a unified public ownership system, and you need to hand over all your private property, will you be willing?" An Yi said.
"Of course I am willing, but the premise is that the country must be unified and there will be no more wars." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"But if you don't have any money and become like ordinary people, would you like that?" An Yi asked.
"If you can really establish a system like the Soviet Union, it means that China has truly achieved unification. A unified China will be extremely powerful. If you give me two choices, one is to be an ordinary citizen of a powerful country.
One is to be a rich man who will destroy the country, so I will choose the former without hesitation." Lu Ming said seriously.
Mr. Dong and An Yi were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that Lu Ming's consciousness was higher than they thought. They couldn't understand what was in his mind. Could it be that he was also pretending to be the Communist Party's theory of national salvation?
In fact, Lu Ming is not as enlightened as they imagined, just because he is well-informed and knows that only when the country is strong can the people live a stable life.
Lu Ming feels that American citizens are the most enviable in the world. They may not have a lot of money, but because they are American citizens, they are respected in every corner of the world.
It is because the United States is a powerful country, and what is doctrine is secondary. The government system of a country is not something that ordinary people can control.
On the contrary, because China is poor and weak, even China's top people and rich people are not respected in the world. A millionaire is worth less than an American passport.
In Lu Ming's mind, this is the most intuitive manifestation of the country's strength and decline.
He is already considered a wealthy person in Shanghai, but sometimes he still has to show off his small American passport to show off his appearance.
However, it was precisely because of the special convenience that the American passport brought to him that he felt an indescribable sadness and desolation.
For him, the strength of the country is above all else. As long as the country is strong, he is willing to give up all his property and live an ordinary life.
Lu Ming looks forward to the day when China's status can be like that of the United States, and every Chinese can proudly say: I am a Chinese citizen no matter where they go in the world.
"Lu Ming, you have done so much for us, why don't you join our organization directly? Do you have any concerns?" An Yi asked seriously.
"If I join voluntarily, will you trust me and be willing to accept me as a person like me?" Lu Ming asked.
An Yi was startled for a moment, then thought about it, this was really a question, at least she couldn't give a clear answer for the moment.
Mr. Dong also smiled bitterly. If Lu Ming had joined the Communist Party before joining the Fuxing Society, there might not have been much resistance, but now that he is the leader of the Fuxing Society, it is hard to say.
Even if he voluntarily joins the Communist Party and submits an application, the organization will not approve it hastily, and identifying his identity will be a very tedious task.
Of course, if people outside the Party voluntarily support the revolutionary cause of the Communist Party, that is another concept, and the organization will not reject it.
In fact, the organization has maintained effective contact with Lu Ming. This is of course based on trust in him. There are many people like him working for the party.
The party's united front regards people like Lu Ming as trustworthy friends, at least completely trustworthy when it comes to dealing with the Japanese.
As for the contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it will exist for a long time. In the foreseeable time, no one can eliminate the other. The reunification of the country still has a long way to go.
In this process, everyone must be tested. Even comrades within the organization must face the torture of their beliefs at critical moments of life and death.
Lu Ming's idea is actually very simple. Under the influence of Sheng Youde's view of "Sino-Japanese conflict", he believes that the peace period will not last long, and that a full-scale war between China and Japan will occur within five years.
So, what situation will China face? The Communist Party's proposal to form an anti-Japanese national united front is a strategically far-sighted idea.
From this point of view, Lu Ming sincerely hopes that the Communist Party will become bigger and stronger and become the mainstay of the future resistance against Japan.
"These problems can be solved gradually. The main thing is your subjective will. Are you sincerely and urgently requesting to join our organization." An Yi further said.
"I don't have this idea yet. I still want to retain my non-party identity. You are doing your revolution, and I will do my part. We are all doing things for the strength of the country, and the purpose is still the same."
Lu Ming laughed.
"It would be great if the ship carrying the arms could be transported to the destination so quickly." Mr. Dong changed the topic.
"It should be quick. The two ships have the most experienced ship bosses and sailors from the Cao Gang." Lu Ming said.
Although he said this, he was actually just as worried. There were Ning Zetao, An Gonggen, and his brothers on the ship transporting the arms.
The safety of these people is very important to Lu Ming, and nothing can go wrong.
