Section 2 Set sail (1)

It should be said that Zeng Kuoqing has tried his best, but the time is too short. The dormitory building of two thousand people cannot be completed. So far, only four bungalows have been built, each with six rooms. Even if it is crowded, only sixteen people can live in each room. More than 800 people cannot live there. There are also a guard team of about a thousand people. Zeng Kuoqing and Teng Jie had no choice but to build some temporary buildings - sheds. This kind of shed is very simple, with a few wooden stakes surrounded by reed mats, and the bed is just a few wooden boards. Now it is hot, just cover a straw mat on it.

Because there was not enough room, Zeng Kuoqing left one for Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong and Mei Youlan. He, Song Yunfei, Wu Ziniu, and Teng Jie and his wife also lived alone, so the few of them almost occupied a house.

"Brother Expand, this is not OK." After checking, Zhuang Jihua called Zeng Kuoqing, Li Zhilong and Teng Jie: "The dormitory must be adjusted. If you have children in the field, you can live alone. Everyone else can move out. The housing allocation method is as follows. Three experts and professors have a room, each of them needs to be equipped with a desk. For the remaining rooms, girls will be given priority, and then workers and boys with family members will be given priority when the guards arrive. The order is soldiers, officers, those with low ranks will be given priority. Those with the same ranks will be given priority."

If Zhuang Jihua's approach is what he did, he would be the last person to move into the building in this base, Zeng Kuoqing would have to persuade him. Zhuang Jihua waved his hand and said, "Just do it like this, please adjust immediately."

"No," Li Zhilong said immediately: "I can't accept it. If you want to move out, I will live in a sunny shed."

"Okay." Zhuang Jihua agreed calmly: "Junfu, please reassign it."

Teng Jie agreed without any vagueness, but Zeng Kuoqing hesitated: "Cultural Revolution, do you need this?"

Zhuang Jihua looked at him and Teng Jie very seriously and said, "Junfu is not clear about some things. But we are clear about them. What we have to do in the next few years requires many people to make sacrifices. When asking others to make sacrifices, we must first set an example. If we can't even do this, what else can we do in the future?"

Zeng Kuoqing was speechless, but Teng Jie's eyes flashed and showed a hint of excitement. He was a little resistant to Sichuan. Last year, he initiated the establishment of the Blue-Yi Society and became the first secretary-general of the Blue-Yi Society. However, he did not expect that just a few months later, Chiang Kai-shek sent him to Sichuan, which made him very confused. He was not sure whether it was because of the arguments with Chiang Kai-shek several times, so Chiang Kai-shek sent him to Sichuan. In addition, he had a view on Zhuang Jihua. He believed that Zhuang Jihua went abroad to evade responsibility, and judging from his actions after returning to China, he lacked a sense of responsibility to the country and the country.

But Teng Jie didn't ask anything. Although he didn't have much contact with Zhuang Jihua, he also understood that if Zhuang Jihua didn't want him to know, he would never be able to find out anything.

Soon the dormitory was adjusted. Thirty-four experts came together to occupy two houses, and the remaining two were occupied by girls. Then several workers were arranged to carry their families, all of whom were refugees who escaped from the Northeast. It turned out that they were all technical workers in the steel factory and the arsenal. Zhuang Jihua found that there were such talents among the refugees in Peking. He immediately brought them all.

Zhuang Jihua felt very regretful when he was a hero during the day and slept on a hard wooden bed at night. He felt comfortable in his life over the years, and such a bed had long been far away from his life.

"Don't feel comfortable?" Liu Yinshu leaned over quietly, and her body still emitted a fragrance after bathing.

"Well, I'm not very used to it." Zhuang Jihua also whispered. This kind of shack is not soundproof. On one side is Li Zhilong and Teng Jie is on the other side. He speaks a little bigger in the room. You can hear it on both sides.

Zhuang Jihua said as he turned sideways to Liu Yinshu: "Ashu, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

Liu Yinshu teased gently, "My husband sleeps in a wooden bed, and I have to follow him, otherwise how can I marry a chicken and follow him?"

In the darkness, Zhuang Jihua smiled and reached out to pull her into his arms: "The difficulty is temporary, and it will be fine after a while."

Liu Yinshu nodded softly, and Zhuang Jihua said again: "We have to stay here for many years, and this base must be built."

Things were complicated, and the daytime scenes appeared in his mind again. Liu Xiang, what attitude would this Sichuan hero take towards their affairs? What measures would he take to stop and make trouble? Zhuang Jihua had no idea, and then thought about the factory. Everything was difficult at the beginning, but how should he start at the beginning? Explore or plan the factory first. If the factory is planned, he had to notify the United States to order equipment, and the factory site must be selected. But the question is, what factory should be built first? Or build a gun factory and a pharmaceutical factory directly... In the chaos, Zhuang Jihua fell asleep in a daze.

In the following days, Zhuang Jihua and everyone worked together to sort out the base, level the land, help build a laboratory, and began to open up the road from the base to the dock. For this reason, Zhuang Jihua also visited Pan Wenhua and asked him to help mobilize farmers from all over the country to participate. Of course, Zhuang Jihua had to pay. The power of the people is indeed huge. By the time the guard arrived, the road had begun to take shape.

Zhuang Jihua didn't expect that the chief and deputy captain of the guard team were his old acquaintances Du Yuming and Hong Junqi. He also came with the team and the director of the security department appointed by Dai Li. Tang Zong was a graduate of the sixth class of Huangpu. He was originally a confidential secretary in the secret service office of Dai Li's leadership. He was smart and capable, and was deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li.

After a brief surprise, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, but before he could speak, Du Yuming couldn't help but speak first: "Cultural Revolution, what are we going to do in Sichuan? The principal transferred me from Hubei, Henan and Anhui to Nanjing. When he met, he asked if he would like to come to be a bodyguard for you. Of course, I nodded and agreed, but I was still confused. The principal didn't explain, so he asked me to come to Sichuan to ask you, and you would explain to me, what exactly should we do here?"

"Yes, I'm confused as well in the Cultural Revolution." Hong Junqi also asked anxiously. He had served as the deputy commander of the camp guard regiment in the Nanchang camp, and was also transferred to Nanjing in a confused manner, and then came to Sichuan.

"I thought it was Song Xilian who came." Zhuang Jihua understood a little. Chiang Kai-shek took great pains to his deputy. Du Yuming and Hong Junqi had dated him, but their relationship was not as close as Song Xilian. So the two candidates were just right.

"Mengguo wants to come, and the report is handed over to the principal, but the principal thinks that the 87th Division has suffered too much in Shanghai and is just needing his efforts." Du Yuming couldn't help laughing when he said Song Xilian. After he came out, Song Xilian came to him and insisted on treating him. The reason was nothing else, but to go to Sichuan.

"By the way, since it's Mengguo training, why didn't the principal let him come?" This question has been hidden in Hong Junqi's mind for a long time, and when he saw Zhuang Jihua, he could finally ask.

"The principal naturally has the principal's arrangements," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "Why don't you want to? Want to throw me here alone?"

After joking with Du Yuming, Zhuang Jihua turned around and asked Tang Zong: "Do you have such a problem?"

"Yes, I want to ask for instructions." Tang Zong was not like a spy at all, and was clean and delicate glasses with platinum framed on his nose.

"No hurry now, I will tell you all at that time." Zhuang Jihua looked at Tang Zong. Then he said solemnly: "You may already know that I have recruited students in Peking. Most of them have participated in the anti-Japanese petition parade and were in prison. They are very sensitive to you, so you must pay special attention and never leave a handle. If you want to take action against any of them, you must have conclusive evidence in advance. And you must report to me. You must remember these two points."

Zhuang Jihua's tone became very strict at the end. But Tang Zong's expression did not change at all and did not refute. He simply agreed: "Yes."

Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised. It seemed that Tang Zong was not Yi and he was not. He looked at him deeply and then said, "I'll go see those experts, you can settle the soldiers."

There were more than a dozen experts who came with the boat this time, and their residences were arranged at the homes of villagers on Guanyinqiao Street.

Two days later, Zhuang Jihua summoned all the experts, Du Yuming, Hong Junqi, Tang Zong and others to the office shack in the center of the base. After entering the house, Zhuang Jihua ordered martial law around the shack. No one was allowed within 20 meters.

"You must have many questions in your mind. What are we doing here? Among you are steel experts, chemical experts, power experts, machinery experts, road traffic experts, professional soldiers, counter-espionage specialists. What exactly do we want to do when we gather here, just to explore the resources in the southwest region? It seems that we can't need so many people. Today I will reveal the answer to this mystery to you."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he made a gesture, and Song Yunfei pulled the curtain behind Zhuang Jihua, revealing a map of China at 1:500,000.

"I admit that when I invited you, I did not tell the truth completely, because I must not do this, and what we have to do must be kept confidential, so the content of today's meeting must be kept confidential, at least not a word can be revealed before the war completely breaks out."

Zhuang Jihua's words caused a whisper among the people present, some excited and some confused, and finally they focused their attention on Zhuang Jihua and waited for his further explanation.

"………… After September 18th, the Japanese army provoked the 128th Incident in Shanghai. The government judged that within five to eight years, a full-scale war would inevitably break out between China and Japan. Our job is to prepare for this war."

Zhuang Jihua's dialect made those experts from Peking extremely excited, but then they fell into confusion.

"What are we going to prepare?"

"Why is this here? Isn't it good in Shanghai, Peking, and Shandong?"

"The gap in strength between China and Japan is obvious. Once the war breaks out, we will throw away the North China Plain, Jiangnan, Shandong, and Shanxi. Unfortunately, although I am very reluctant, I am a soldier. I must admit the fact that a Japanese division has hundreds of cannons, but what about us? One army has only a dozen cannons, and this is still the equipment of the central military and local forces. It is good to have a few machine guns in a regiment. Why? I think you know the reason. It is not that the central government favors one over the other, but that the central government does not have so much money. Most of our weapons must be purchased from abroad. Once the war starts, the consumption of weapons and ammunition will be amazing. This requires a lot of money. Does our country have so much money? No."

Zhuang Jihua said this and then said: "I have said so many frustrating things, so is it impossible for us to win this war? No, I can tell you clearly that the final victory must belong to us, and I have no doubt about it. Because the fighting style of war is different, the playing style of strong countries has strong countries, and the playing style of weak countries has weak countries. The playing style of weak countries is very simple to summarize into one sentence, exchange time for space, accumulate small victory into big victory, and slowly consume the strength of the enemy, while we slowly become stronger and finally win. As for the speed of becoming stronger, it depends on our work today."

"Choose Sichuan is the result of the government's comprehensive consideration and is based on the preparation for the long-term anti-Japanese war. What we need to do in Sichuan is to study new equipment and build factories, including steel factories, gun factories, artillery factories, pharmaceutical factories, hospitals, aircraft manufacturers, communication equipment factories, etc. Now I want everyone to express their opinions, how should we start and from which aspects? Remember that we need not regular development, but extraordinary development. We don't have much time, at least five years, at most eight years."

After saying that, Zhuang Jihua sat down and fell silent in the room. In five years, it took so much construction to be completed, and it was almost impossible to complete in the face of war. How much money is the government planning to invest?" After a long time, someone finally asked.

"Don't consider the issue of funds. Let me tell you the truth, it's not just us who prepare for this. Overseas Chinese have already taken action and they have raised a large amount of funds. The government intends to invest all of this money in this issue." Zhuang Jihua cannot tell the truth, and must give Chiang Kai-shek face: "So don't consider the issue of funds. Just come up with a plan. If I can't give you funds, you come to me again. Now I have to achieve results. Five years later, there will be a national defense industry in Sichuan that supports the war of resistance."

"First of all, it's electricity." Someone finally stood up: "No matter whether it's steel plant or any other plant, it's absolutely impossible to operate without sufficient electricity."

Zhuang Jihua spoke at the speech of the power expert Wu Kungang, a professor at Tsinghua University. He said without thinking: "Okay, please ask Professor Wu to develop a Chongqing power development plan. Mayor Pan is also preparing to expand the Chongqing power plant. They seem to have a plan. I will go to him tomorrow with you to talk to him."

"No, I think the most important thing to build is roads. Whether it is transporting equipment in or sending weapons to the front line, it needs to be transported, so the road construction should be started now." said Fang Yixuan, a professor from the Jiaotong University of Shanghai.

Zhuang Jihua nodded. He had actually considered this question: "Professor Fang, you see, the people of Sichuan have long been talking about the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway. How about you saying we should start with the Idiom Railway? In addition, it is not realistic to build all the railways. The construction period is too long and the situation in Sichuan is also very complicated. Let me give you an opinion. The railway will build the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway first, connect Chengdu and Chongqing, and build several highways in contact with other provinces."

"Everything is OK, but you must start planning now and build while planning, otherwise there will be no time." Professor Fang said.

"Okay, Professor Fang, then please come forward and organize a group called the road group, responsible for opening up traffic for us." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

Then, steel groups, chemical groups, etc. Zhuang Jihua also specially asked to form a weapon and equipment group to be responsible for researching weapons and equipment. Zhuang Jihua had at least several weapons in his head. If he didn't develop them for the Japanese to taste, he would feel very uncomfortable.

The meeting was held until late at night, and the atmosphere of the meeting became more and more lively. Everyone was a little excited. The sultry summer heat did not affect their mood at all. When they walked out of the venue, a strong sense of mission arose in their hearts.

After the experts left, Zhuang Jihua, Du Yuming and the others stayed. Now they have to discuss things more urgently.

"Now you know all the goals we are here." Zhuang Jihua smiled at Du Yuming and the others: "How is it, are you still satisfied."

"I'm quite satisfied with it, but..." When Du Yuming was still considering the words, Zhuang Jihua interrupted him with a smile.

"It's just a bit in a bad way, right?" Du Yuming smiled and said nothing, which was a default.

"If it were just a bodyguard, if you were Du Guangting, you would definitely be misleading," Zhuang Jihua said solemnly, and then looked at Hong Junqi, Zeng Kuoqing, Li Zhilong, Teng Jie, and Tang Zong.

"We just discussed hardware, and now we want to talk about software." Zhuang Jihua's words made everyone wonder what this software is.

"Software is soft power, soft power is reflected in the organization of the people. It is not enough to have good weapons alone. Simply put, in a battle, half of the soldiers are killed or killed. How to supplement it? We rely on recruitment now, but once the war begins, the recruitment speed will definitely not keep up with the consumption, so we also need to establish a reserve, but establishing a reserve requires the cooperation of the regime." Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua walked in the room for two steps: "I have been thinking these days, so that the people can mobilize the entire social power. We have to do the land to achieve twice the result with half the effort. So after thinking about it, I decided to take Chongqing and take Chongqing into our hands. Now let's discuss how to achieve this goal." Climbing ^ Piao Astronomy, this chapter was first published by ""
