Pilots like Zhou Yuankai are quite interesting. The first thing he said when he saw Li Yunlong was: "Comrade, I heard that you have a plane, is it true? Can we take a look?"
Li Yunlong slapped his chest loudly: "Of course it's true! But I can't see it now, it will take some time to arrive!"
Zhou Yuankai sounded a little disappointed.
I thought to myself: After a while, I'm afraid I'll have to wait and wait again, and then it will all be gone, right?
This is a normal reaction for stubborn soldiers like Zhou Yuankai, because stubborn soldiers often just stay on the plan and put off many things day by day and then nothing happens.
Because they had seen so many things like this, the first reaction of Zhou Yuankai and others was "Don't have too much hope."
Wang Xuexin saw through their thoughts and said: "Don't worry, comrade! If we weren't sure, we wouldn't try our best to find the pilot! It could take as little as a month, as long as two or three months, there will definitely be news!"
Zhou Yuankai and others nodded doubtfully. Anyway, when the matter reached this point, there was no turning back.
Zhang Wei asked Wang Xuexin in a low voice: "Comrade, are you Xiao Dongbei?"
Wang Xuexin nodded and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
"You are really Xiao Dongbei!" Zhang Wei cheered: "No, I don't recognize you, but we have your portraits everywhere! Your reward has increased to 20,000 yuan..."
Wang Xuexin felt a little funny in his heart. It seemed that the Japanese were trying to increase their popularity.
Zhou Yuankai and others had strange expressions on their faces when they heard that the ordinary Eighth Route Army soldier in front of them was actually Xiao Dongbei.
Zhou Yuankai asked Wang Xuexin: "Are you the Xiaobei who helped the Eighth Route Army get the T34 tank?"
Li Yunlong proudly gestured with his thumb and replied: "If not him, who else? Comrades, think about it, isn't it a trivial matter that Xiaodongbei can get tanks from Mao Xiong and planes from Yingjiang? Don't worry!
"
Zhou Yuankai and others looked at each other and nodded secretly.
They are all the top talents of this era, and they have all experienced foreign ink. They know that although tanks are not as good as airplanes, if they are top tanks such as T34... then the difficulty is not known to be several times that of airplanes.
So what Li Yunlong said is indeed correct.
If you can get T34, it is indeed not that difficult to get the already lagging Hawke 81 from Yingjiang.
Wang Xuexin immediately thought of two questions:
First, although two planes were persuaded to surrender, there were still too few pilots.
There are only four pilots on the two planes, and the other two are navigators. Although they can also become pilots, the training time is obviously longer than that of pilots.
Even if everyone is counted, there are only six. Including the thirty-odd people originally recruited, it can barely be counted as forty people, which is still far from 100 pilots.
Another problem is Ye Peng.
Regarding this issue, Zhao Gang meant to conduct a public trial for Ye Peng, show Ye Peng's crimes to the world and then shoot him. This could greatly boost the morale of the Chinese military and civilians and combat the arrogance of the Japanese and puppet troops.
But Wang Xuexin has a different view.
Wang Xuexin suggested to Zhao Gang: "Political Commissar, this guy is the Minister of Defense of the puppet army. He knows a lot!"
Li Yunlong was a little dismissive of this: "Xiao Dongbei, although this guy is some kind of 'Minister of Defense', he has no real power. He just makes speeches outside and licks the devils. In China, he crazily oppresses the people and makes money.
.If you want to dig something useful out of this guy's mouth, I'm afraid it won't be easy! It's not that he has a tough mouth, but there isn't much useful stuff in his stomach at all!"
Wang Xuexin believes this.
Because they are puppet troops...
The puppet troops, even the Wang puppets, have no real power. They just do whatever the devils say.
The so-called "Peaceful National Founding Army" is on the surface the army of Wang Puppet, but the actual control is in the hands of the devils. Today the devils will send this puppet army here to cooperate in fighting, and tomorrow they will send that puppet army to fight there...
No need to go through Wang Puppet's hands.
So, as the so-called "minister of defense" of the Wang Puppet regime, what military secrets can he know?
Zhao Gang nodded and said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, what you said does not conflict with my plan. We will ask for all valuable information before the public trial! But what Lao Li said will not be too great.
What valuable information!”
Wang Xuexin replied: "Regiment leader, political commissar, I think it is precisely because he is crazy about making money that he has a lot of valuable information!"
"How do you say that?" Zhao Gang asked doubtfully.
Wang Xuexin explained: "He may not know many military secrets, because the military is in the hands of the devils! But he knows where the devils can make money, where they are industrial centers, where they are military industry centers, etc.!"
Zhao Gang said "Oh" and said, "You mean, prepare for our army's sneak attack?"
Wang Xuexin nodded and replied: "You can say that!"
But in fact, Wang Xuexin didn't think so in his heart.
What Wang Xuexin had in mind was much bigger than Zhao Gang imagined...
Wang Xuexin knew very well that an army would not work without its own industrial base. For example, the Eighth Route Army was as poor as the Eighth Route Army. Although it had several rifle production lines, it could even buy tanks and aircraft from Yingjiang.
But the industrial foundation is king. It can not only increase productivity so that people can earn money and eat, but also cultivate various talents. It is also the only way for future development and technological innovation.
To put it simply, it is to carry out industrialization to strengthen the country through industry.
Ten machines in Xiaobeiling can affect the price of cloth in the Eighth Route Army base area through pricing. Although it is a good thing for the Independent Regiment, for the entire Eighth Route Army... it is a kind of crushing of small farmers' handicrafts by industry. It exactly reflects
The industrial level of the Eighth Route Army was backward.
Therefore, what Wang Xuexin thought of at this time was machines, factories, technology, and old technicians...these are the basis of industrialization.
Just buying small batches from Eagle Sauce won't work.
China's external highway is blocked and it is impossible to transport machinery in large quantities.
It is even more impossible to get this from the bear... At this time, the bear has too much time to take care of himself.
Obtaining industrial machines from the stubborn army is even more impossible. Not to mention that the industrialization level of the stubborn army is not high, and even if the stubborn army has them, they will not be given to the Eighth Route Army.
It can even be said that the stubborn army will not only refuse to give, but will also try every means to suppress the Eighth Route Army. It is best for the Eighth Route Army to remain in the state of small farmer handicrafts.
Then, the only way to obtain industrial machines, technology and talents is to steal them from the Japanese.
Wang Xuexin hopes to know more information about these aspects from Ye Peng...industrial information!
