The independent regiment headquarters and headquarters simultaneously discussed the issue of "what to change."
The reason is that Zhao Gang feels that this matter is not something they can decide, and they should report it to the headquarters and let the chief make a decision.
But of course, they didn't just kick the ball out, the regiment itself also started a discussion.
Li Yunlong set up the dragon gate formation and took this opportunity to pour the wine again.
"Come on, fill it up!" Li Yunlong poured wine for Wang Xuexin and said with a smile: "Xiao Dongbei, you have to remember one thing, don't let that wet gold..."
"Skinnai!" Wang Xuexin said.
"Yes, yes, it's Skinny!" Li Yunlong collected the wine bottle and filled it for Zhao Gang and himself, saying: "The names given by foreign devils are really troublesome. Sometimes they are wet with gold, and sometimes they are cruel, so you can't choose one."
Simple and easy to remember!”
Zhao Gang said with a smile: "You are just a country bumpkin who comes to the city and doesn't know what to do. That's what the foreign devils call you!"
Li Yunlong took a deep sip from the bowl, shook his head and said, "I don't care what they name them, they are all begging us for something? By the way, what did you say just now?"
Then he said "Oh" and said: "We have to discuss this matter first, and we can't let the foreign devils get wind of it, otherwise they will definitely have a hand in it!"
"We must not let the foreign devils know!" Wang Xuexin nodded in agreement.
Wang Xuexin knows this better than Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong just thought that if Yingjiang knew about this, he would use the "hollow charge" technology as an excuse to share the benefits.
But in fact……
At this time, although Yingjiang was also helping Mao Xiong, he was very afraid of Mao Xiong from a technical perspective.
Therefore, if he knew that this technology would be transferred to Mao Xiong... Yingjiang would probably put pressure on the Eighth Route Army or even suspend cooperation.
Zhao Gang said confidently: "Leave this aspect to me, and I will do a good job in keeping it confidential. The most important thing now is to talk about what we should change if this business is successful!"
"That goes without saying!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and replied: "Of course it is food. Although there is a harvest of food this year, it is estimated that this food will only be enough for three months!"
Li Yunlong stretched out three fingers and waved in front of the two of them: "It's only enough for three months, and then we have to wait for the next year's harvest. No one knows what next year will be like. I feel guilty without food!"
There is nothing wrong with what Li Yunlong said.
In front of food, all guns and bullets are just a cloud.
The soldiers and civilians need to have enough to eat. If they are starving to death, who can carry the guns and fight?
However, Li Yunlong's level of thinking is a bit low.
Or it can’t be considered a low level, but that poor people have grown up hungry, and their biggest concern is food. This sense of crisis and fear comes from fear.
"I'm talking about Lao Li!" Zhao Gang objected: "Eating is important, but aren't we growing sweet potatoes? Although the food is only enough for three months, we live frugally and add sweet potatoes and sorghum. In addition, there are
With China Reserve Bonds, you can still get by if you buy grain from the Japanese!"
After a pause, Zhao Gang added: "Besides, this year our army has opened up a large area of wasteland and cultivated land. The cultivated land has doubled compared with previous years. We also raise pigs, grow vegetables, grow cotton, etc. In this situation...
I don’t think it’s worth it if we exchange food for next time!”
In this regard, Wang Xuexin agreed with Zhao Gang's view. Although the Eighth Route Army did not have much surplus in food, basic food and clothing was not a problem.
And because the Eighth Route Army is clearing up wasteland on a large scale, next year's bumper harvest is just around the corner.
But when it comes to next year's food problem, Wang Xuexin thinks of a movie describing the disaster in Henan next year... That's about Henan, which is the area controlled by the stubborn army south of the Yellow River.
This disaster can be said to be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.
Called it a natural disaster, Henan will experience a severe drought next spring, and then the summer harvest will be less than 20% of the previous year. In the autumn, there will be another locust plague that covers the sky.
It is said that it was a man-made disaster, but it was the recalcitrant army, especially the commander of the first war zone who was the "corrupt general" who continued to collect food and soldiers despite the disaster, and even misappropriated a large amount of disaster relief money and food.
As a result, tens of millions of people were affected by the disaster, and 3 million of them died of starvation.
Although this incident occurred in an area controlled by stubborn troops, Wang Xuexin believed that the Eighth Route Army should also make some preparations.
Li Yunlong felt that Zhao Gang's analysis was reasonable. After taking a few sips of wine, he said: "If we don't exchange food, then don't think about it. We will definitely have to exchange guns for bullets!"
Zhao Gang laughed: "I also asked you if you have any good ideas. You just want to replace whatever you want!"
"Isn't it just to exchange for what is missing?" Li Yunlong retorted: "Speaking of Lao Zhao, is it possible that you would trade with others for something that is not missing? Isn't that stupid?"
Zhao Gang replied angrily: "We are short of a lot of things. For things like guns and bullets, Xiaodongbei has replaced the production lines from the foreign devils. The first batch of production lines will arrive in Xi'an the day after tomorrow. We can do it ourselves. Are you in a hurry?"
Change?"
Li Yunlong thought it was right, but then he became confused: "Then what should I change?"
Li Yunlong may be good at fighting and doing business, but his long-term strategic planning is poor.
Wang Xuexin thought for a while and just said: "Regiment leader, political commissar, I'm thinking... we should make a plan and see what Dayun City needs, and then we can replace it!"
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong both cast surprised glances at Wang Xuexin. Is this guy still thinking about moving to Yuncheng?!
On the other side, the chief and chief of staff were having the same discussion.
The chief of staff made a list in his notebook, including food, equipment, upcoming production lines, etc.
What Li Yunlong said was rough but not rough. The chief of staff also thought that whatever was lacking most would be replaced.
However, the chief of staff was more rigorous. He believed that we should list in detail and roughly calculate, sort out the production, combat and other activities of the Eighth Route Army, and then determine what is missing.
After calculating for a while, he finally came up with the answer. The chief of staff took his notebook and reported: "Chief, I think what we will be most short of in the future may be steel for the production of rifles and copper for the production of bullets."
The chief nodded in agreement.
In Xiaodongbei's plan, although there are steps to fight guerrillas in Zhongtiao Mountain to capture the steel mills and copper smelting plants in batches from the Japanese, there is no need to think about it, this will definitely be a long process.
However, the rifle production line can produce more than 10,000 rifles per month. This is an urgent question. Does it mean that production will be suspended?
If we wait like this, does it mean that our combat effectiveness cannot be improved?
Time is life and a fighter!
The further down you wait, the more opportunities you will lose!
The chief took the notebook, looked at it, and said, "You mean, let's switch from Mao Xiong to the steel smelting plant and the copper smelting plant?"
"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded. He had the experience of studying abroad in Mao Xiong for five years. He first studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and then entered the Frunze Military Academy, so he was very familiar with Mao Xiong.
"Maoxiong Heavy Industry is very developed." The chief of staff said: "It would be very helpful to us if we can build steel plants and copper plants with their help!"
The chief hesitated for a moment and then said: "Chief of Staff, have you ever thought that it might be possible to do this in the iron smelting plant? But the copper mine is only found in Zhongtiao Mountain, which means that no matter what we do, we can't get around Yuncheng!"
