105 meetings
In the evening, after everyone arrived, Yu Dabao served as a guard in the courtyard, and the meeting began in the hall.
First of all, Pu Su proposed that most of the technicians in the original workshop, including the Duke, be transferred back to the fortress. At the same time, the work of expropriating nearby factories was immediately carried out, and this task was handed over to Lao Ren, and in principle, the compensation was in place first, and as for those who were resolutely unwilling to relocate, they could only let Lao Ren, the villain of the French Concession, come forward to solve it.
In the past, because of the lack of strength, and the control of the surrounding area of the mansion was far from the current level. And the previous self-protection ability was very low and could not withstand the impact. Now a gated community has been formed, and all the residents of the fortress have a deep sense of solidarity. In terms of safety, it is actually a little better than the workshop isolated on the inclined bridge.
In the future, the original spring processing plant will be kept there, and the workers and mechanics there can work normally. In normal times, there are rotational teams stationed to guard warehouses and docks, maintain tanks and barges. It's just that before the Duke and they withdrew, they needed to do a detailed survey of the surrounding terrain, and then start designing the transformation drawings.
His aim was to enlarge the dockyard, increase the draft and concealment, and if necessary, evacuate enough old and weak women and children and supplies, and it would be good to have more to go. Retreating from the secret passage of the fortress to that side, and quickly changing ships to evacuate from the waterway, is the only way to leave Shanghai. As long as the design is introduced, the team members will take turns to participate in the construction in the future, and there should be no complaints for the escape of themselves and their families.
The second topic is for Alyosha and Li Wenjuan. The border area was cultivated and planted, and there was no shortage of cotton, but there was a lack of textile machinery, and the traditional spinning wheels could not supply the needs of the clothing factories.
Then let Li Wenjuan prepare that vegetable plot in the suburbs to carry out planting and breeding industry, under the banner of supplying the downtown area of Shanghai, in fact, to strive for self-sufficiency, to have a good prediction of the bad situation. The place should be big enough, and not too far away, and finally agreed that the most suitable place is on the opposite side of the workshop, the other side of the river was originally a vegetable field, and it was taken down by Gu Ji before for planting fruits and vegetables as a reason, and people were sent over there, in fact, it was responsible for the role of vigilance, preventing the enemy from attacking from the other side once a situation occurred.
That place is free from the city and the concession, and it is really a three-way area. The only thing to do now is to make use of the abandoned land around it and make it large. Pusu is planned to raise pork, fish and eggs, poultry and dairy cows. The problem of eating, drinking, and lazing so many people now depends entirely on foreign purchases, and once the war takes a new turn, the situation will change and it will definitely be a life-threatening matter. Needless to say, the land route to Shanghai was now under full Japanese control. As long as the Japanese fleet carried out a complete blockade of the waterways again, the material reserves in Shanghai would not last long at all, and the result of defeat without a fight was inevitable.
Next, we are still preparing to take down the nearby houses, some of the White Russians have moved into the fortress before, and some of the surrounding houses are vacant, all of which are uniformly allocated by the Chamber of Commerce, and some houses need to be taken down for the comrades who come later. Pu Su will not let the Chinese and the White Russians live together, which can easily lead to contradictions and problems.
Aside from the bloody and strong comrades of the border districts, they will clash with the members of the White Russian team, and it is only said that the White Russian women are enthusiastic and unrestrained no matter what age, and they treat the relationship between men and women very casually. It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as the mood comes, you can do anything, and the comrades who are about to come, who have been living a hard life in the border areas before, are suddenly changed to such a world of flowers, and it is easy to make mistakes.
Therefore, with regard to the upcoming large number of comrades in the border areas, they must also take all kinds of preventive measures on their side. It is also necessary to establish strict discipline behind enemy lines, and if it is violated, it will face severe penalties immediately. At least education, then confinement, until the ship is repatriated to the border area. This kind of punishment is unimaginable for ordinary people, especially if it is repatriated, it is a stain for a lifetime.
As for the internal law enforcement picket team, because of Dabao's role, some comrades with outstanding consciousness were selected from the new comrades to cooperate.
After discussing these, Pu Su finally said the main point. Sporadic sabotage operations were carried out in Japanese-occupied areas.
A large-scale operation like the one before is okay in the concession, but it won't work when you get to Hongkou. The entire Japanese-occupied area was under militarized management, and there were formed military camps everywhere, and they responded very quickly. Moreover, it is impossible to match head-on in terms of numbers and armament configuration, after all, the other side is a regular army that has defeated the elite troops of the national army.
So what Pu Su means is to break it up, break it up, destroy Japanese vehicles, oil depots, or simply blow up warships and ships, conduct a surprise attack on a hospital, and quickly retreat after succeeding. Boiling frogs in warm water slowly consumed the strength of the Japanese, and at the same time caused panic in the occupied areas, so that the Japanese army increased the investment of troops in the occupied areas, so as to relieve the pressure of the Japanese army on the border areas and the battlefield of the national army.
The main targets are the arsenals, oil depots, and hospital warehouses, while the granaries are not moving. The destruction of granaries and the lack of food only prompted them to intensify their raids in the occupied territories again, and it was the common people who suffered in the end. As for the arms and oil depots, as well as medicines, China is not a producer in the first place, and if they want to replenish them, they can only rely on local imports or other sources.
Importing from the homeland has intensified their war attrition, while obtaining them from other channels, using their brains from other European and American powers, can only arouse the resentment of other countries, hasten their international reputation, and wait until they provoke public anger, that is, when they perish.
Therefore, in the near future, the training in the mansion should be strengthened to target sabotage and small group operations, and to develop reconnaissance and evacuation routes. The Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River, which are surrounded by the Japanese defense zone, are long waterways, and it is impossible for the warning party to cover all aspects. If you need to enter the Japanese defense zone with a pass for every operation, it will be very difficult to retreat even if you blend in. As long as a few intersections are closed, they will be trapped in the defense zone.
Therefore, the reconnaissance team needs to be dispatched to conduct careful observation and find out the weak points in the defense area as a site for infiltration and evacuation.
In the future, each time they enter, 1-3 action teams, each carrying out activities according to the set goals, will quickly evacuate according to the plan after they succeed. Form a special combat mode of small strands and multi-point flowering.
In addition to military objectives, they looted foreign banks, banks, and other business premises of overseas Japanese. What can be taken away is taken away, and what can't be taken away is burned. Let the vampires who are vassals behind the army and grab the dividends of war in China can also taste it. I don't know if the Japanese military department will compensate them.
If compensation is made, such attrition will undoubtedly be a huge burden for the Japanese military. If the compensation is not paid, it is unknown whether the news will spread to Japan and whether there will be people willing to come to Shanghai for business activities. Anyway, as long as they dare to come, they will make a plan to lose their money. Pu Su's strategy is to burn what can't be taken away, although it may not necessarily be the turn, but once it happens, it will be bankrupt.
In fact, Pu Su's current business is not a no-brainer business. In his mind, the so-called chambers of commerce and foreign banks were nothing more than a pretense for hoarding materials and transporting them to the border areas under the banner of such a decent public pretext. The lives of so many people need to be solved, and the consumption of arms also needs to be replenished. In the battle of the dock alone, a staggering amount of light and heavy machine gun bullets was consumed. In particular, there are not many grenades and explosives left.
The first time he saw the inventory in the warehouse of the mansion before, Pu Su still felt that the amount was amazing, where did he think that just that one encounter of average intensity would need to consume so much ammunition, so the battle was originally a bottomless gold-swallowing beast, and it itself required a lot of money to maintain.
And the comrades from the border area who came back with the boat this time were more than 100 people. Most are non-combatants. Although they have undergone rigorous military training, they have not participated in military operations in the border areas in the first place, and they are all specialized in logistics support.
Pu Su hopes that they will join in and develop the economy. The current situation is still too dependent on Belarus, not that Belarus is not trustworthy, Pu Su has long thought about it, from many perspectives, the Belarus in the French Concession in Shanghai is much more reliable than the Chinese, and because of the stakes and the snort, it is related to family members and children, and even their loyalty is far greater than that of other groups.
Countries and nationalities, as well as skin colors and languages, are different, but as human beings, emotions are universal. After they went into exile, no matter how brilliant their military strength was, they were actually a minority in Shanghai, and they were also an out-and-out vulnerable group. After being exploited by the gangs, Alyosha appeared as a leader, brought them together, and provided stable living conditions, which were already very satisfying.
What's more, now a series of changes have improved their lives and treatment, even with the education of their families and children, to an unimaginable level, not to mention in Shanghai, even in Russia, their former homeland, they have never lived this kind of life without worries. According to the welfare regulations announced by Alyosha, even if they are disabled or die, they do not have to worry about the lives of their families and children. The rest of the country's compatriots will always take care of them and give them the same living conditions.
And they are very confident in the construction and planning of the entire community now. Although he is in a foreign country, he also has the mentality of trying to create for his homeland. Whoever tries to deprive or destroy this homeland will definitely risk their lives to defend it.
As for the usual tasks, instead of resisting, they are looking forward to it. Originally, they were long-term mercenaries, and they knew very well where they would get in return if they didn't pay, and they all knew this truth, and they also knew very well how much economic investment they needed to enjoy their lives now.
It's just that no matter how loyal they are and how full of emotions they are. After all, this is Shanghai, and the inconvenience caused by their skin color and appearance is very huge. On many occasions, only the Chinese are more suitable for action in this land.
First of all, it is very difficult for Belarus to enter and exit Hongkou normally through a permit during the day, and even after entering, their whereabouts are very noticeable. You can't mask your face in broad daylight, that would be equivalent to three hundred taels of silver here.
That's why Pu Sucai needed to mobilize manpower from the border areas. Some of them are responsible for production and technology, and some of them are scattered to various places for intelligence gathering. Lao Ren's bag can only be used appropriately, and cannot be completely trusted. In the plan, he was going to let some of his comrades break into the patrol houses in various places, and lay dormant to come in handy when needed.
In Shanghai, he eventually wanted to establish an independent intelligence system of his own. Staggered with the original "lighthouse", that would make him more at ease. Speaking of "Lighthouse", since Li Wenjuan came, Pu Su no longer had to receive tasks through the other party. His actions were originally out of line with the previous Shanghai intelligence system, and it was best to cut off contact with that side in a complicated situation. For this reason, he specially told Li Wenjuan several times, and he knew that Li Wenjuan had a close connection with the "lighthouse" when he was in the border area, but he must not have any more contact with him.
After he finished what he had to say, Li Wenjuan and the others also talked about their own opinions. For example, Lao Ren proposed that a team of White Russian members dressed as gangsters should cooperate with his relocation of factories and expropriation work.
Alyosha suggested providing adequate protection, and suggested stamping thin steel sheets to make protective gear and helmets for team members to reduce casualties. In fact, Pu Su thought about this problem, but Alyosha thought too simply. Not to mention the forging technology and craftsmanship of the thin steel plate, the kinetic energy of the bullet fired by the modern firearm from the barrel is far from being able to withstand the thin layer of steel plate, and even because the steel plate is close to the body, it can aggravate the damage after the most bullet penetrates. When he was in the Soviet Union, he saw a lot of tests there, which were actually a very complex combination of technology and materials.
It's just that this suggestion, he will pay attention to. As long as the dukes move to the fortress, there will be enough time and space for testing in the future. This kind of thing can't be rushed in the short term.
And Li Wenjuan also reported the accounts and recent business progress by the way, but a few minutes later, several people present heard that their faces changed very strangely.
Li Wenjuan unhurriedly reported the figures, from where to Shanghai, what product name, what ship arrived at the port, what is the starting price, how much is the actual cost after removing the freight and customs clearance fees, and what is the current price of the same item in Shanghai.
Li Wenjuan reported every transaction clearly. In the end, just the most recent trade, the real profit is 600% of the investment. That is, 10,000 yuan is invested, and the actual income after removing various miscellaneous expenses is 60,000 yuan.
Of course, the more you invest, the more you earn. They weren't conservative in the first place, so the actual numbers are staggering.
