On the way back, Lin Mo followed Xu Guyu with a gun, far behind the others. Lin Mo reported on Wu Liangdong's recruitment and security.
"Going to the Northeast to recruit people? This is not an easy job! Can we let people from outside do it?"
"Section Chief, the difficulty of this job is not to find people. Although the people we are looking for are military personnel, in terms of difficulty, it is not more difficult than finding ordinary people.
As long as we find some people first, they must know about their former colleagues, and we can continue to find people through the information they provide. This kind of follow-up work does not require us to come forward in person.
Moreover, the difficulty of this matter is still the Japanese. Once they are aware of our purpose, the matter will become dirty and may also affect those who have not been found. Not to mention achieving the purpose, it is better not to defeat the enemy.
Compared with people outside, we are definitely the focus of attention of the Japanese at present. This matter cannot be done in a short time. It will last for a long time. It is difficult for us to come forward without letting the Japanese have any
I have noticed it, so I think it would be more appropriate for someone outside to handle it than us."
"Well..." Xu Guyu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "What you said makes sense. Is there any suitable candidate?"
"You can choose people from Sun Xinhui's staff. Those people under him are originally collecting information in the market. They have certain intelligence capabilities and are good at communicating with people from all walks of life. These people should be qualified for the job.
The black market banks can also provide some manpower to assist. Their requirement is to expand their business and channels from Nanjing to various places, including the Japanese-occupied areas in the Northeast. This time, on the one hand, they will provide assistance, and on the other hand, they will also take a trip to the Northeast.
road."
"Okay..." Xu Guyu agreed, and then said: "Since you brought up this matter, it is most appropriate for you to arrange it, and it should be done as soon as possible."
"Okay..." Lin Mo nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "Section Chief, there is still a problem. To handle this matter, we must try our best to find those people who are living in the Northeast. I
I am afraid that the number of people may exceed the limit.
The Northeastern Army was really strong in military industry. The Shenyang Arsenal alone had 25,000 soldiers at its peak. Even if only 10% or 20% of the soldiers were among the people in the Northeast, that would still be thousands of people.
This does not include other arsenals of the Northeastern Army and those who are engaged or have been engaged in ordnance research and production, and the number may be even higher."
"Well...it's not a big problem. Just feel free to take action. This is a matter! There's no need to be too hesitant about it."
Hearing what Section Chief Xu meant, the repair shop could recruit not only a thousand people, but thousands or even more. This made Lin Mo interested. What happened?
"Section Chief, we are an intelligence department. It is understandable to set up a repair shop to maintain, repair, adapt and produce weapons for ourselves, and even use it to make a small amount of money. But according to your opinion, this repair shop is now completely
We are benchmarking against large arsenals!”
"This is the approval given personally by the chairman of the committee. The development of the repair shop is not subject to any restrictions and is still under the responsibility of the Intelligence Division.
At first, I was as surprised as you are now, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. After some understanding, I found that the chairman really wanted to develop the workshop.
As for the many reasons, they are related to the current situation of the government’s military industry, the domestic military industry situation, and the Ordnance Industry Administration. Other factors also have an impact. You should know and think of some, right?”
Lin Mo heard this and replied: "I'm sure I know some things, and I can think of some, but they are just general. Section chief, please tell me!"
"Okay..." Xu Guyu did not refuse and said: "The domestic situation has been relatively stable for many years. Nanjing is also a dominant company and occupies the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where the domestic economy and industry are the most developed.
It stands to reason that the national government's arsenal should be the strongest, but as you have said before, the largest arsenal in the country was the former Shenyang Arsenal, with more than 25,000 employees at its peak.
What about the national government? It controls a lot of arsenals. In terms of scale alone, the scale of several large factories is equivalent to about 10% of the Shenyang arsenal.
The Shenyang Arsenal's annual output of weapons is also astonishingly large, with an annual output of 150 large-caliber artillery pieces, nearly a thousand small-caliber artillery pieces, and an annual output of more than 200,000 artillery shells.
At the same time, the Shenyang Arsenal produced more than 60,000 rifles and 180 million rounds of ammunition annually, and the annual output of light and heavy machine guns reached more than 1,000 each.
And what about the government? Last year, the arsenal affiliated to the Ordnance Industry Administration had more than 60,000 rifles, more than 600 machine guns, 30 82mm mortars, more than 60 million rounds of 79 bullets, and more than 80,000 rounds of 75mm mountain artillery shells. More than 150,000 82mm mortar shells.
In terms of quantity, the rifles and artillery shells of all the ordnance factories of the Ordnance Industry Administration are almost the same as those of the Shenyang factory. The machine guns are about half, and the bullets are a fraction of others. Let alone the artillery, there are no large-caliber artillery at all, and there are no 82mm mortars. They only built thirty doors, which is completely incomparable to the Shenyang factory.
Others, such as research on imitation capabilities, are even more incomparable. Before the September 18th Incident, Shenyang Arsenal had already completed the production of many advanced weapons including 150mm howitzers, 150mm mortars, 100mm and 75mm mountain guns, and field guns. Imitation.
Among them, the most produced "Austro-Hungarian 77mm" field gun has excellent performance and has the ability to suppress the same level of artillery of the Japanese army.
Tell me, the weapons manufacturing capacity of the entire Ordnance Industry Administration is still inferior to that of the Shenyang Arsenal of the Northeast Army. Will the higher-ups be satisfied?
Of course, the Shenyang Arsenal is a thing of the past after all, but now, local forces still have considerable arms production capabilities.
The most famous one is undoubtedly Yan Laoxi's arsenal, which now has more than 5,000 employees. It was once one of the three largest arsenals in the country along with Hanyang Factory and Shenyang Factory.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Return to the Sichuan Army Liu Xiang's headquarters. According to the information we have received, the factories under this guy are always afraid of thousands of guns. Yunnan The arsenal under the army also produced hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition per day during Tang Jiyao's reign.
And in Guangdong, according to the information obtained by the office, they are also ambitiously preparing to build a large-scale artillery production factory. It is said that it will produce more than 200 artillery pieces per year.
The Gui Clan in Guangxi is also steadily developing its own weapons production capabilities, and also has the production capabilities of rifles, machine guns, and artillery ammunition.
And what about the Government's Ordnance Industry Administration? Just regarding the unification of standard ammunition calibers, there has been a lot of quarrel from the French system to the German system, and none of them have been finalized yet.
As for the standard weapons, especially the machine guns, there was a huge quarrel. Different factions in the Ordnance Industry Administration pushed one kind and another, and once they settled down, the advancement speed was as slow as a tortoise.
All departments of the government are similar, with many internal factions, and the Ordnance Industry Administration is no exception. It is also a place where some people amass money, and there are a lot of internal problems.
There are Japanese people outside who are eyeing the war, there are red parties inside who want to pay, and the German military adviser also recommends strengthening self-production of weapons. The chairman of the Generalissimo has been interested in strengthening military production for some years, but the Ordnance Industry Administration has not made much progress in the past few years.
.
Some time ago, after the armory workshop designed a new police weapon, the boss brought several designed police weapons, modified submachine pistols, pistol kits, and other muzzle parts, etc., to Chairman Chen to ask for a name.
I don’t know whether it was because the repair shop had just been established and produced so many practical weapons and equipment that the chairman mistook the repair shop for its full strength, or whether it was because of a serious illness that he sought medical treatment. Anyway, he gave this instruction on the spot.
However, the chairman of the chairman did not change the order afterwards. Even if the police equipment was trialled and equipped so quickly, it was the chairman who was pushing it. My intention as chairman was to put pressure and threats on the Ordnance Industry Department and make changes, or to repair the weapons.
As an example and an excuse to make adjustments to the Ordnance Industry.”
Lin Mo now understood that this was not to use the tool man of the armory as a swordsman, but to throw a catfish into the stagnant national ordnance industry to disrupt the situation and stimulate everyone in the Ordnance Administration.
"What the boss means is that since the chairman of the committee has given us this opportunity, we should seize it, run the repair shop well, and let our hands and feet go."
This is what Lin Mo wants. For various reasons before, he has always been hesitant to do things in the repair shop. Now he has some ideas and can finally let the repair shop do it. But Lin Mo doesn't say it now.
I have to wait for the repair shop to develop for a while.
"As for the security work of the repair shop, this matter really cannot be left behind. Well... just find a few people from the second group to help the repair shop set up a security department. You can discuss it with your brother and decide on the candidates. I will go to the boss.
Then ask for permission."
"Okay..." This matter was a bit beyond Hu Linmo's expectation, but since he said so, he naturally has his reasons, so just follow it.
"By the way, it's Du... Zhaoxue's matter. Where is the progress now?"
"I just received a call from my family to inform them that the Du family has arrived in Nanjing. I have arranged for them to be at Pukou. I will go there in person later and arrange for their reunion based on the situation."
"Well..." Xu Guyu nodded and said, "Get it done as soon as possible. The boss has ordered that after Du Zhaoxue agrees to cooperate, the boss will meet with him in person."
"Meet?" Lin Mo thought about it and asked: "Section Chief, where is the meeting place? Is it the old house, the new home, or a rental house?"
The old house refers to the old headquarters of Ji'e Lane, the new home refers to the new headquarters of Hong Gong Temple, the rental house will be the office location of the second group in the future, and currently it refers to Lin Mo and the others' place of residence. They are all nicknames.
Within the Intelligence Office, the Jige Alley headquarters is codenamed Room A, and Hong Gong Temple is Site B. However, now that the Operations Group Two is working separately outside, and a Japanese spy has been uncovered within the Intelligence Office, the Codenames have been changed for the sake of caution.
.
"No need, the boss has specifically given instructions for you to find a place to meet outside."
"Is it okay to find a safe house?"
"Okay..." Xu Guyu nodded and said, "Decide on the location and just tell me."
"good……"
After chatting, they arrived at the dock. Several people who were the masters of the village came to greet them. Lin Mo gave them a few more words before boarding the boat and leaving.
When the boat arrived on the river outside Nanjing, Lin Mo asked the boat owner to dock the boat at Pukou first, took Shi Baocun and others off the boat, and rushed to the agreed place.
"Baocun, please lead your brothers to be on guard around the area. If there is any situation, blow the signal to notify me."
In fact, there is not much need to be vigilant, but it is not suitable for contacting too many people. After all, Xu Guyu specifically mentioned just now that choosing the location outside was ordered by Boss Dai, which was a reminder to him.
The Du family was arranged by Lin Mo in a very ordinary single-family house in an ordinary alley, a private, quiet, and inconspicuous place.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Wang Yinglong was waiting with two team members. The three people's faces showed deep fatigue. When they saw Lin Mo's figure, they managed to squeeze out a smile and came forward.
Lin Mo gave a few caring greetings and said to the two of them: "The people I brought are already on guard outside. You two go back and rest!"
After the two left, Wang Yinglong invited Lin Mo in and reported the situation at the door. What he said was almost the same as what He Changwen had said, and his words also revealed his admiration for He Changwen.
"Looking at how tired you are, it wasn't an easy journey, was it?"
"In order to catch up, we found a speed boat. It was fast, but it was a little small and bumpy. We didn't get much rest along the way.
As for the other brothers, I will arrange for them to go back to rest when they arrive in Nanjing, leaving only the three of us here to guard and ask Captain Lin to punish them."
"What's the punishment?..." Lin Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "You did a great job in this matter. I chose this resettlement place just to keep a low profile. If a bunch of you come, then
That’s what ruined my business.”
"Yes..." Wang Yinglong breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't consider this. He just felt that nothing happened along the way. Now that he was on his own territory, there was no need to be cautious.
Lin Mo probably guessed what he was thinking and made a few remarks. He couldn't take any chances. Since he was on the intelligence front, he had to keep his heart tight at all times.
"By the way, I heard from Chang Wen that you are quite talented in data analysis? It played a big role this time."
"This..." Wang Yinglong didn't know how to speak for a moment, thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "Actually! I couldn't compare to people like Lao He and the police in terms of platooning, investigation, and questioning, so I thought of finding another way.
When I was hunting in the past, my marksmanship and skills were not good, but I couldn't let others take care of me all the time. At least I had some ability to survive safely.
By analyzing animal footprints, feces, habits, etc., I found out the prey's movement tracks, haunts, habitats, etc., and became an expert at finding prey.
Gradually, I became accustomed to this way of thinking. Whenever I encounter something or ask questions, I will consider and analyze it in this way."
"Well..." Lin Mo nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good skill that can make a living. You performed very well this time when you went north, and the department decided to hire you.
Originally, I planned to keep you by my side, but since you have such strengths, you must have a suitable place to display them, so I will think of a way to find a suitable position for you."
"It's all up to Captain Lin's arrangement!" After Lin Mo finished speaking, Wang Yinglong solemnly saluted Lin Mo, with excitement and gratitude on his face.
"Well..." Lin Mo nodded, very satisfied with Wang Yinglong's attitude, and said with a smile: "I remember that after I went there, I read more, learned more, and asked others for advice. The people in the office have not experienced professional training.
Even with years of experience, you still have a lot of lessons to make up for.”
"Yes..." Wang Yinglong responded respectfully.
"You don't have to be so polite. From now on, we will all be colleagues. Just get along with each other as colleagues."
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Mo brought the topic back to business and asked about the situation of the Du family.
