With the first rays of sunlight in the morning, Ding Ying woke up from her sleep. ?.? `
Feeling the soft Simmons mattress under him, and looking at the horizontal corrugated tin roof above, he realized that this was not the original thatched shack, but a house converted from a shipping container.
This is the first time he's heard of containers.
At first, he heard that this thing was used to transport goods, but he was a little skeptical: wouldn't it be enough to use a wooden crate for loading, and who would have the luxury of making a box out of valuable iron sheets? You said that it is understandable that the small iron box is made, but such a large box is also made of iron sheet, which is too wasteful.
It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that trucks were pulling containers over during the rainy season and taking out a neatly arranged supply from them, that he believed that this thing was indeed used for loading.
Rich people just love to show off, and they have to use iron boxes to pack goods!
A container is five or six meters short and eleven or twelve meters long, and those people in the northern theater put a steel column support frame three or four meters high on the ground, and then put the container on it and welded it firmly. Then the windows on both sides were opened, the unloading port was made into a door, and then an iron escalator was welded to the ground, and a layer of wooden planks was padded on the inside of the box, and the container that was originally used for loading was transformed into a very beautiful stilted building.
The modified container is much more comfortable than the stilted building where he originally lived.
In his opinion, this is the right use of containers.
Those people in the Northern Theater spent one day building building on more than 40 container stilts, of which more than 20 were distributed to Ding Ying. The top and bottom of the 1O1 Military Region liked this kind of stilted building very much, and immediately abandoned the original shack and moved in the same day.
One house lives in two rows, and more than 600 people only use 21 containers converted into stilted buildings.
The political commissar and other major cadres live in that kind of small container, and two or three people live in one room, which feels spacious and comfortable, and even the political commissar Fei who came down from the headquarters, although he doesn't say it, is very satisfied with his expression.
The weather was still very hot, Ding Ying got up from the bed naked, went to the bathroom next door, turned on the shower faucet, and took a shower happily.
His stilted building is specially modified, with a large water tank specially welded on the top, and then connected through a water pipe, as long as you turn on the faucet, you can take a bath. The only thing that is not very convenient is that he can only take a cold shower and cannot heat it, but this small defect is not worth mentioning in his opinion.
Compared with the previous years when he was driven by the Dingjun Army, the current conditions are like going to heaven!
After taking a shower, putting on his military uniform, and tying his belt, he pushed open the side door, stepped on a volley of wooden planks, and staggered to the conference room next to him.
The conference room is also converted from a shipping container, with a total length of 12 meters, and is divided into three parts: the conference room, the communication room, and the weapons depot.
The conference room in the middle was empty and unoccupied, but there was a ticking sound of keys in the communication room on the right, presumably the attendant receiving telegrams.
Listening to the familiar voice of the telegram, Ding Ying was full of emotion.
This is like the appearance of a regular army, the original 1O1 Military District, although it has a big name, but what is the difference between it and the guerrillas. Even if he wears a commander's hat on his head, he is actually a guerrilla leader!
Looking through the door that opened in the middle of the side of the container, and seeing the troop station with the conference room as the core and two circles around, he finally had the pride of being a commander until today.
And in the arsenal on the left side of the conference room, there are also 500 guns sent by the Northern Theater of Operations. With this batch of weapons, he was able to pull up another 500 people and expand the team to 1,100 people, which was barely enough to support the shelf of a military region.
The five hundred rifles that Guan Fei gave him, he checked them one by one, they were good things. Although it is not a new gun, it is also seven or eight percent new, and the maintenance is also very perfect, and the bolt is smeared with a thick layer of butter. And the rifling of these guns is still intact, much better than his own old guns that are almost worn out, but there are fewer bullets, only 10,000, and they must be spared.
At this point in life, what more can a husband ask for!
Ding Ying was full of ambition at the same time, but also very sober, who gave all this.
In fact, he was always in his right mind.
When the Qiqin Independent Army was defeated, if it didn't coincide with the rainy season, and even the central government was wiped out by the Weiding Army, he knew that this was a broken ship and he couldn't stay. So he did not hesitate to join the People's Party and asked the People's Party to send someone to take over the military power. Now that the decline of the People's Party headquarters is fully manifested, and the country is favoring the Northern Theater again, he did not hesitate to accept Guan Fei's wooing and decided to take refuge in an all-round way!
Yes, it is refuge!
He knew very well that Guan Fei couldn't give himself so many things just to find an ally. People say that pie does not fall from the sky, and Christianity also says that there is no such thing as a free dinner. Yu Baihai is right, he, the commander, is just a battalion commander in the Northern Theater, and in terms of the combat effectiveness of the troops, he is even inferior to a company of others, why do people give you so many things?
What Guan Fei gave was not just a few hundred guns and a few cannons, but actual real money.
On behalf of the Northern Theater, when Yu Baihai signed a cooperation contract with the 1O1 Military Region, he said that he would give the 1O1 Military Region a special loan of 100,000 yuan every month before finding and mining the mine. And at that time, he was given a passbook of the People's Bank of Xincheng, on which the deposit amount of 100,000 yuan was clearly printed!
He was excited.
100,000 yuan, or ...... on a monthly basis, although it is a loan, but the 1o1 military region is so poor that it is tinkling, what else can be used to offset the price?
It's just the brand of the 1O1 Military Region!
Therefore, at that time, he swore to the other side that he would resolutely listen to Commander Guan's words, resolutely support all the decisions of the Northern Theater, and resolutely obey the instructions of the Northern Theater.
When Yu Baihai hinted that the 1O1 Military Region now only has military organs, and there is no corresponding civil affairs department to manage the civil affairs of the military region, which will bring trouble to the future work, he immediately said that he can only lead the troops and does not understand civil affairs construction, and hopes that the Northern Theater will send capable cadres to form a civil affairs department of the military region.
This is also his statement: as long as I am allowed to control the military power, I am willing to give up the civil power.
He didn't dare to say such a big thing as power coming out of the barrel of a gun, but he firmly believed that having a gun was the king of grass. As long as he controls the troops, he has the value of existence in Guan Fei's eyes.
As for the civil power, he doesn't know how to operate anyway, and it's not a big deal to hand it over to the Northern Theater of Operations.
Anyway, he has 100,000 yuan of military expenses every month, and even if he finds a mine and opens it in the future, his share will be indispensable, so why bother to be bored and fight for civil power with the Northern Theater.
If he hadn't been a little ambitious and wanted to make a difference, I'm afraid he would have gone to the Northern Theater with his passbook to take out the money, and then run away.
100,000 yuan, he has enough to spend all his life drinking!
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
He stepped up the stairs, walked out of the conference room, and circled around the station. Seeing his commanders and fighters, they all greeted him warmly, and he was also very happy to see the elated appearance of the soldiers.
As he used the first funds of the Northern Theater to purchase the first truckload of rice from the base area, the 1O1 Military Region was so excited that they cried tears as if they were crazy, and many people cried on the spot. Every time they ate fragrant rice and remembered the hard days they had lived in the past few years, the cadres and soldiers were more and more grateful for Commander Guan's goodness, saying that without Commander Guan, they would not have enough to eat.
Later, when he gave each soldier the first allowance in several years, although it was only five yuan, the soldiers were overjoyed. The original decadent despair is swept away, and everyone is full of hope for tomorrow. The drill, which had been stopped for a long time, has now been restarted, and it is slowly taking on the appearance of a unit.
In the previously lifeless military district station, it has once again regained its vitality!
Seeing this change in the troops, Ding Ying knew that even if he ordered the soldiers to refuse the reorganization of the Northern Theater now, I am afraid that no one would listen to his orders......
Fortunately, he doesn't have much ambition.
He had always understood that the people of Qiqin would not have been able to win liberation without relying on a powerful force.
In this way, it's good.
"Commander, Commander!"
With a smile on his face, he was patrolling the small station when he saw the head of the communications unit rushing to the door of the conference room at the headquarters, his face full of joy, waving vigorously at him and shouting loudly.
The warriors looked up curiously.
Seeing his happy face, everyone knows that it must be a good thing.
Ding Ying nodded at him, still maintaining a calm demeanor, and walked over unhurriedly.
The head of the communications unit obviously couldn't wait for him to move slowly, jumped down the steel staircase in three steps and two steps, ran in front of him, and whispered in his ear: "I just received a communication from the prospecting team, saying that they have found the mine!" ”
"What's all the fuss about! Look at you like that, like a monkey, and you're not afraid of the jokes of the warriors. Ding Ying thought it was a big deal, and scolded with a smile.
Two months ago, the prospecting team, escorted by the guards and soldiers of the Northern Theater of Operations, followed the guides sent by the military region and went out to prospect for minerals.
The 1O1 Military Region nominally covers an area of 20,000 square kilometers, but in fact this is really only nominal.
The military region has four districts under its jurisdiction, namely, Pianma, Xidong, Tuojiao, and Luokong, each of which has several thousand square kilometers, which is much larger than that of the Northern Theater. However, there are only about 600 people in total, and it is simply impossible to control such a large area and effectively control it.
Not to mention that across the river from the Nme Khai River, just across the river is Myitkyina, the military town of the government army, where a whole division of regular troops is stationed!
If it weren't for the fact that the main force of the Weiding Army was dragged by the Qiqin Independent Army, and the mountain roads in the jurisdiction of the 1O1 Military Region were difficult to travel and supplies were difficult, and the Weiding Army attacked several times, the 1O1 Military Region would have avoided without fighting with few people, and would have taken advantage of the mass advantage of the same Qiqin people to fight guerrillas all over the mountains, and they would have been wiped out by the other side many times in head-on battles.
That's it, they were also chased by the other party several times, and they couldn't escape in the defense area, so they were forced to hide on the side of the border to temporarily avoid the edge. When the rainy season arrived, the government forces were unable to resupply the Chins and had to retreat to Myitkyina to allow them to "liberate" the mountainous region again.
Half a year ago, with the complete victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression operations of the military sub-divisions, the 88th and 77th divisions of the enemy were completely annihilated in one fell swoop, shaking the whole country. In order to strictly prevent Guan Fei from moving south, breaking through the Lashio defense line, and then threatening Mandalay, the army had to recruit new soldiers quickly and draw troops from various fronts to reinforce Lashio.
As a result, a large number of troops were transferred to the two fronts of Qiqin and Yanbang, and the Qiqin Independent Army, the 1O1 Military Region, the Central Military Region of the People's Party, and the 815 Military Region were suddenly greatly reduced, loosened from the enemy's encirclement step by step, and resumed their activity.
In view of the shortage of troops, in the dry season in the first half of the year, the army did not carry out encirclement and suppression operations against the 1O1 Military Region, but guarded Myitkyina, and only built a group of fortresses on the side of the 1O1 Military Region on the bridge of the Nmei Kaijiang River to protect the bridgehead for attack, while all other strongholds were abandoned.
It is precisely because of this that Ding Ying dared to let the prospecting team from China prospect in the defense area without worrying about encountering the Wei Ding Army.
Even so, the 50 soldiers of the Guard Brigade sent by the Northern Theater also went out with the prospecting team to serve as a guard and guard mission.
In the past two months, the prospecting team has 66 consecutive reports of a lot of information, all of which say that they have found mineral deposits. However, although there are many types of these mines, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, and tin, the reserves are not large, and some of them have a little mining value, and some have no mining value.
Ding Ying was still very concerned in the early days, but over time, he was also tired, and when he heard that a new mineral deposit had appeared, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"Commander, the mine I found this time is different from before, I heard that it is a big mine!" The head of the communications unit was impatient, scratching his ears and cheeks, and said in his ear.
"Oh? How big is it? Ding Ying asked indifferently.
"I heard that there are more than 100,000 tons of reserves!" The Chief of the Communications Unit happily reported the figures.
"More than 100,000 tons, barely have mining value, what mine?" Hearing that there were more than 100,000 tons, Ding Ying was a little interested, stopped and asked.
"I heard it's called ......, what's it called, by the way, it's called molybdenum mine!" The head of the communications unit thought for a long time, and finally remembered the unfamiliar name.
"Molybdenum? I haven't heard of it," Ding Ying was disappointed when she heard it, "How much is it worth?" ”
"I heard it's worth hundreds of millions!"
"What!"
Ding Ying shouted, and as soon as his foot on the stairs slipped, the person rolled down the stairs.
