"Where?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"I don't know about this, anyway, I often see a boat coming to pull ......," the squad leader replied.

"Why is there nothing in the yard?" Fang is not the way.

"All withdrew...... I just left, and I said that I would come after the rainy season......"

It's the middle of April, the rainy season is approaching, the water level is rising, it's not easy to build, and it's really time to stop work.

But why isn't there even a janitor?

"Everything is gone, it's just a pile of rotten bricks, there's nothing to see......" the squad leader replied.

"When did you leave?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"I remember it like two months ago!" The squad leader answered, and then looked at the squad deputy.

"Yes, it was two months ago, just after the ...... of the Chinese New Year," the deputy recalled, "saying that the sea was opened, and he was going to Shanghai to repair the embankment...... A big freighter came to move things......"

Ship?

How many things can a brick factory have, and it still needs a big ship to pull it?

There were no assembly lines in this era. Whether it is to break the boulder into stone bricks, or to use cement to make cement bricks, it is all manual operation.

"What did you pull?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"It's all stone bricks!" The deputy of the squad replied.

Fang Bu's eyes lit up.

Is there no stone in Shanghai or no cement, and you have to pull it from Nanjing?

A shipload of stone bricks was pulled to Shanghai, and even the coal money for the steamer was not enough.

Fang Buwei looked at the courtyard between the stone brick yard and the arsenal, which was only separated by a wall, and asked, "Whose sand and gravel cement do they use to make stone bricks?" ”

"The sand and gravel used is the first one in the estuary, and the cement is pulled from Shimonoseki......"

There's the one with the arsenal......

Fang Buwei tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Zheng Lixin is still not careful enough, and he is not sensitive enough.

Pulling Nanjing's stone bricks to Shanghai, the head of the owner of this brick factory has not been kicked by a donkey, right?

It is understandable that the soldier is not clear, but Zheng Lixin didn't ask about this, which is really unreasonable.

This bastard estimated that after discovering the arsenal, he was too excited, and he didn't visit it well the second time.

"Okay, thank you, I'll go down and take a look first, I'll have to look for you later!" Fang Buwei put away the binoculars and said to the squad leader.

"Sir is gracious!" The squad leader replied, "We are in the hospital around the clock, and we can come and ...... whatever the commander wants."

Fang Buwei nodded and got off the watchtower.

"Go find Zheng Lixin and bring me the inspection records of the ferry fort area......" Fang Buwei explained to a team member.

There is a phone in the naval hospital, and Zheng Lixin is in Xiaguan, and he can ask clearly on the phone.

But Fang was not afraid of arousing the suspicion of Zhao Shirui and others.

Now he has long passed the stage of doing it himself, and if he asks too much detail, his subordinates will instinctively wonder if something was missing, but Fang Buwei found out.

The team responded and left the naval hospital in Fang Buwei's car.

Fang Buwei didn't go to the room specially left for him by the dean, but left the naval hospital alone and came to the stone brick factory.

The wall is not high, only two meters, and Fang Bu turned over it as soon as he reached out.

Just entered the door is a gatehouse, the door is wide open, there is a rotten lock falling underneath, the stubble is very new, it should be Zheng Lixin let people smash.

The house was empty, and the entire place where I could put my feet was dug up.

Fang Buwei turned around, except for the gatehouse, there were only two piles of bricks in the yard, and there was nothing else.

Fang Buwei stood up and turned his head to the wall.

The walls are all rectangular cement bricks, and Fang Buwei wanted to lift a piece down to try the weight, but as soon as his hand reached up, the broken sand fell straight down.

It turned out to be a scrap product, no wonder it wasn't pulled away.

Fang Buwei lifted the brick stack, stuck it to the ground, and slapped it twice with a stone.

The ground is not empty, and there is no passage under the walls.

Looks normal.

Now I am waiting for Zheng Lixin's visit record to see if the stone bricks of this house are really transported to the river embankment.

Fang Buwei patted the dust on his hands, stood up, and was about to climb out of the courtyard wall, when he was suddenly slammed under his feet.

It's not a stone, it's like a slender cylindrical thing.

If it's a branch, there should be a sound.

Fang Buwei picked it up easily, and knocked down a steel bar head of about three inches.

It is only the thickness of a little finger, and there is still wet mud on it, which may have been dug up by Zheng Lixin when he was digging the yard......

No, rebar?

In later generations, steel and cement will be put together, and anything can be repaired, but the Republic of China is different.

If cement can be used to repair the embankment, it can show that the national government has enough money, and the flood control department is clean enough.

The government of the Republic of China did not have this requirement in its flood control construction procedures.

Cement is not cheap, steel is even more expensive, and it can only be used for building buildings with more than two floors.

So why is it here?

Fang Buwei took a deep breath, lowered his head, and kicked as he walked.

When he was about to walk to the center of the field, Fang Buwei kicked something hard.

He looked down and saw that it was a cement brick, dug out and half-sunk into the earth.

Fang Buwei lifted the brick out, and took a closer look, the narrow side of the cement brick had an exposed steel bar.

Where will such bricks be used?

It will definitely not be used to repair river embankments, and it will not be used to repair buildings.

Instead of using this kind of brick, it is better to directly tie the steel wall and then pour it with cement, which is much stronger than using this kind of brick to build the wall.

Fang Buwei's breathing gradually became heavier.

Could it be that in the process of repairing the vault in Lion Rock, the Japanese were shocked by the water thieves, and thought that the movement of pouring directly with cement was too big, and the raw materials were not easy to use, which was easy to arouse suspicion, so they thought of this method: first expand the cement bricks, and then pile them up?

The more I think about it, the more I realize that it is possible.

When the stone brick yard was withdrawn, the reason why the thrown stone bricks were pulled away was because they were afraid of leaving clues......

So where will the Japanese pick within these two miles?

The squad leader said that the stone bricks of this brick factory were used to build the river embankment......

Just look it up.

If the embankment had been built recently, it would have been impossible for the sentinels on the watchtower not to know about it.

Fang Buwei went back to the naval hospital and found the two squad leaders.

"Has the nearby embankment been repaired?" The squad leader looked at Fang Buwei, "Sir, have you forgotten that last summer, the Japanese warship drove to Xiaguan and fired a few shots?" ”

It was after the disappearance of the consul in June last year, the Japanese opened the warship to Shimonoseki under the pretext of starting a war, and fired a few cannons.

At that time, Fang Buwei was still protecting Yu Erjun on the American cruise ship.

"Isn't it a cannon fired at the river?" Fang Buwei asked.

"It was driven into the river, but one shot missed, and it was too close to the shore, and the Hukou dock collapsed......"

"In the summer?" Fang Buwei repeated a sentence.

The Japanese repaired the vault before the beginning of winter last year.

Half a year is wrong!

And Fang Buwei didn't see a dock within these two miles?
