The Chinese people who have experienced war always think that they can avoid disasters. Whether they are bandits, robbers or warlords, they only need food, things like the ocean that cannot be brought without life or death. No matter how fierce the bandits and robbers take these things, they will leave, but they don’t know that this time is different, different from before, and the cruelty of the Japanese devils exceeds their knowledge.

Zhuang Jihua didn't know how to convince her, so Liu Yinshu came over to take the child from Zhuang Jihua's arms, and then said, "Mom, just listen to Jihua's. Zhejiang is too close to the seaside, and he can't be separated from the Cultural Revolution. Then, there are only two old men, you, how can you come out? If you don't leave, the Japanese will catch you and threaten the Cultural Revolution, what will you do if you ask him to do?"

This made Zhuang Li believe that bandits and robbers often do things like kidnapping. She was stunned for a while and looked at Zhuang Jihua with a frustrated face. She finally nodded: "I'll go back and discuss with your father. If we want to come over, we will write to you. By the way, why haven't I seen Mingxian, the child these days?"

"He went to the countryside." Zhuang Jihua explained that after Zhuang Mingxian came, Zhuang Jihua sent him to the base cadre training class to study, but his foundation was too poor, so he kept his grades and went to the countryside with the students these days to practice.

Zhuang Li nodded and said nothing, reached out to take the child from Liu Yinshu, and then said to Liu Yinshu carefully: "The next one must have a boy."

Zhuang Jihua, who had just gotten up, sat back on the sofa. Liu Yinshu's face turned red and he quickly glanced at Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly. This old lady was really unswervingly favoring boys over girls.

The second concubine glared at Zhuang Li with dissatisfaction. She reached out to take the child from Zhuang Li's hand. Zhuang Li was stunned. She shrank the child in her arms and avoided the second concubine's hand. However, the second concubine continued to reach out to the child firmly: "Yaya is a beautiful girl, my mother-in-law, let me give it to me."

When Zhuang Jihua saw that Zhuang Jihua's face had changed. The situation was not good, he immediately stood up and said, "Mom, let me play with it. This little thing is getting more and more fun."

Then he took Yaya from Zhuang Li's hand without saying a word, then threw his eyes to Liu Yinshu, and walked out with the child in his arms. Liu Yinshu hurriedly separated the second concubine and Zhuang Li's body: "Mom, go and see if the soup is good. Sister Fang doesn't know how to make the soup." Then he turned around and persuaded Zhuang Li's body to go away. Only Liu Yinshu has this ability in this family, and thanks to her ability, otherwise the family would have been in trouble.

After comforting the two old people in the family, Liu Yinshu went out to find Zhuang Jihua, but saw Zhuang Jihua holding the child and chatting with Chen Qikun. Since Chen Qikun suffered a serious illness last time, his health has been getting better and worse, and he often cultivated at home.

Seeing her, Zhuang Jihua struggled in her arms. She danced her hands and reached out to Chen Qikun. Chen Qikun and Teng Jie got married earlier than Zhuang Jihua and his wife, but they don’t have children yet, and those who don’t have children prefer children. The children in this yard are loved by her, and the youngest Yaya is the most favored one.

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly and tightened the child: "The girl is outgoing. You can tell that she is going toward an outsider if she is so young. This girl must not be an obedient landlord when she grows up."

Chen Qikun couldn't help laughing and took Yaya from Zhuang Jihua's arms readily: "It's not that Yaya. If you want to blame, it's strange that the power is disrespectful to your father. I know that. Every time you go home, you have to bully Yaya. Look, it's a matter of reversal. Yaya, auntie, can you carry it. OK?"

After being carried into Chen Qikun's arms, Yaya became excited and muttered in ambiguously. A small hand was stroking Chen Qikun's thin face. Chen Qikun was not angry but laughed and kept teasing her.

"You like children so much. Hurry up and give birth to one by yourself." Zhuang Jihua said jokingly.

A trace of pale flashed across Chen Qikun's face. The last time the serious illness caused a lot to her body, and she almost died. She even doubted whether she could get pregnant. This trace of distress flashed by. Chen Qikun hurriedly teased Yaya to cover it up.

Zhuang Jihua didn't notice the change in Chen Qikun's expression. He respected this woman very much. She was gentle and gentle to everyone. She listened patiently to others and sincerely solved other people's problems. She stood like a series of moral norms in the base compound.

"Comrade Qikun, I want to ask you a question," Zhuang Jihua felt that Chen Qikun was the best object to talk to. Li Zhilong was too influenced by him and was determined to move forward; Teng Jie was more concerned about ideologicalism and focused on social reform; Du Yuming simply focused on military affairs, and he was also greatly influenced by Zhuang Jihua. Chen Qikun was always at the core because of his emphasis, and had some understanding of the overall situation, and was less influenced by Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua discovered that she was the most suitable one at this time.

"Captain, what's the matter? Tell me." Chen Qikun didn't feel any abnormality and still focused on Yaya.

"Are our steps too fast?" Zhuang Jihua asked: "Are we building too many projects?"

Chen Qikun's expression became solemn. Yaya obviously felt her change and immediately screamed in dissatisfaction. Her dancing little hand hit her face. Chen Qikun quickly shook her body gently, and the little girl giggled again.

"Captain, this is a big problem," Chen Qikun immediately understood what Zhuang Jihua wanted to express: "Our work direction is national defense industry and social reform, and the purpose is to prepare for the war of resistance. However, I also think that we are not too fast, but we are pursuing too many things, from pharmaceutical factories to aircraft factories, guns and cannons to tanks and armored vehicles. Sometimes I also wonder if our stall is too big. But every time you take us to safely break through, four steel mills, no, there should be five, five rifle manufacturers, and three more will be expanded this year. Now we are planning to build a tank factory armored vehicle factory. The aircraft manufacturing factory has started construction, and we all think you can take us to continue break through."

Chen Qikun spoke with sincerity, Zhuang Jihua's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling, and he also felt that the attitude of his colleagues around him had changed subtly.

However, Chen Qikun's tone changed: "But now you want to ask, I can only say that my original feeling is that our street stalls are too big. The technology of guns, ammunition and cannons is relatively simple. Domestic arsenals have produced them, so we haven't felt technically difficult yet. But when it comes to automobile manufacturing, we have problems. The first car had repeated several processes, and then tanks and aircrafts have never been built in China. The technical difficulties are getting bigger and bigger, and more. It is better to strengthen infrastructure and build more machine guns and cannons factories. As for heavy equipment like tanks, they can be temporarily released. At present, the weapons we build can only be equipped with twenty divisions every year. Time is very urgent, and once the war begins, ammunition consumption and weapon damage will be very large. Can we supplement this little thing? Captain, I suggest a test in this regard."

Chen Qikun's long narration, Zhuang Jihua did not interrupt him at all, he just listened silently. He thought with all concentration, and did not even hear Liu Yinshu's footsteps coming.

When Liu Yinshu approached, she found out that they were talking about the important matters. She never participated in Zhuang Jihua's important matters. However, she has now walked to the side to avoid the traces of rebellion.

She walked over and smiled and said with a smile: "I thought you were holding the child here, but I left it to Qikun. Qikun, give me Yaya, you can chat slowly. Chen Qikun smiled and hugged Yaya even tighter: "Yaya, do you want to play with aunt or mother."

Yaya opened her round eyes and looked around, as if she was reluctant to leave Aunt Chen and was reluctant to leave her mother, so she finally reached out to her little hand.

"This ghost girl." Chen Qikun twisted Yaya's little face lovingly, and Yaya let out a happy laugh. Liu Yinshu hugged her and turned away.

"You know that you can hide Yin Shu at home. In fact, he can also join our work team." Chen Qikun said to Zhuang Jihua with a smile.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "I never had this idea. Didn't she also attend school before she gave birth to Yaya?"

"You said if we want to adjust, what projects should we start?" Zhuang Jihua didn't want to talk about this issue. His real idea was that he didn't want Liu Yinshu to get involved in politics. So he quickly changed the topic.

"I don't know much," said Chen Qikun. "This must be tested to know, but my intuition is to strengthen ammunition factories and bullets. We now produce a lot of them, but the firepower intensity of civil war and anti-Japanese war must be different."

Zhuang Jihua nodded. The Great Wall Anti-Japanese War had proved that the ammunition consumption in combat against Japan was far greater than that in the civil war. He quickly calculated in his mind that the current ammunition production volume was in full swing. He had to admit that Chen Qikun's judgment made sense, especially the artillery shells.

With Chen Qikun's confirmation, Zhuang Jihua conducted an ammunition test internally. Taking twice the scale of the Great Wall's War of Resistance Against Japan as a unit of measurement, the army was equipped with the newly reorganized division. The result surprised him. 300,000 people consumed 2 million bullets and 20,000 shells a day. With the current production scale in Chongqing, bullets can barely meet the consumption. The production volume of shells will be consumed for half a month.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous," Zhuang Jihua took the test results, slapped his forehead, then looked up at Li Zhilong and Du Yuming and others, "It seems that we must make adjustments to our work direction this year."

Looking at the result, Li Zhilong looked heavy: "I took a detour, but there is still time. We still have time. However, the adjustment must first start with copper smelting. There is a big reason for insufficient ammunition production because of insufficient copper production, so we must first expand the copper smelting plant, or build a new copper smelting plant."

"In addition, capacity is also a problem," Du Yuming frowned. The test results made him very shocked: "From Chongqing to Wuhan, and then from Wuhan to various places, the former can be transported by water, and the latter must be transported by car, and even pack horses may have to be used. The bombing losses of the Japanese Air Force must also be calculated. Therefore, the output must be doubled to be enough."

"It's inevitable to adjust your work goals without a word." He interrupted seriously.

Hong Junqi also said: "I agree that the ammunition depot should not only be built around Sichuan, but also near Wuhan."
