To be honest, Chen Xiu didn't expect this crisis to come so quickly. He felt that he was just an arsenal here, and he just wanted to develop the military industry in peace and stability, and he didn't want to get caught up in the struggle for power and profit.

But he also knew that it was just a hope.

This era is an indescribable era.

It can be said that this is a good era, but it is also because war can be said to be the worst era.

In this era, there is faith, sacrifice, protection, and affection, it is a prosperous era in troubled times, an era of literati and masters, and an era that fascinates Chen Xiu.

The Republic of China has flesh and blood, wind and bones, mountains and rivers.

Even if you are wearing a cheongsam elegantly and gorgeously, with a tactful tone on the stage, and deep affection, you may have the determination to sacrifice for the country.

General Jin Ge Iron Horse, guarding a side of the rivers and mountains, what to do with his own body.

The literati and inkmen are full of disadvantages, and they are all great in talking and laughing.

Ten miles of foreign field, old alleys, pavilions and corridors, pen and ink lyrics and songs.

Chen Xiu sighed, when the production capacity of his base is getting bigger and bigger, his weight will become heavier and heavier, if he only wants to be single, it is impossible.

Now, he has rightly rejected the side of the Nationalist Government. In fact, there is still room for negotiation, and if the Nationalist Government can negotiate with real sincerity, or buy shares, or admit that it has complete autonomy, and no one is allowed to interfere, he will not refuse.

Now refused.

Remarkable, reinventing the production line.

Remarkable, starting from scratch all over again.

Chen Xiu didn't have anything to fear. It's just that I don't like change, so I finally developed it.

But, what should he do?

"Self-denial." Chen Yifu looked at Chen Xiu in a daze, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"Dad, I didn't expect our base to be here for almost a year." Chen Xiu came back to his senses, "It seems that those people can't sit still anymore." ”

"yes."

"Dad, this uncle, can't he really be the one?"

Chen Yifu's face was not very good-looking, but he still nodded, "That's right, but I didn't expect him to come as a lobbyist." Originally, he and I were just cousins. ”

Chen Xiu nodded, in this era, the power of the clan really can't be underestimated, "He wants to empty the white wolf, and then, give us a position of a void brain." When the time comes, he will have the final say on everything at the base. If he had a way to stop those people, he would have sent it, and it had only taken us so much time, so it would have been great to come back again. However, if he wants to use this as political capital, he will compromise with those people, which I can't bear. ”

Chen Yifu sighed, "I can't bear it as a father." ”

Only in the base do you know the hard work that everyone has put into the base.

If he could endure it so casually, then when Wei Biliang came, Chen Xiu would probably have endured it a long time ago.

"But now, I'm afraid the base will be in crisis." Chen Yifu tapped his fingers on the table, "It is estimated that in a few days, on the old Tang side, I am afraid that the order will come down soon." ”

Chen Xiu nodded, "Father-in-law, they are soldiers after all, so they won't have much objection." It's just that, in this way, they will definitely take our escort group. ”

"Convoy."

"Disperse, except for the soldiers who guard on weekdays, the rest will leave two hundred people as the total force guard, and the rest, directly blend in with the workers." Chen Xiu spoke, "Once something happens, they can just take up arms and resist." ”

"That's all it can be." Chen Yifu nodded.

……

Chen Xiu sat on the balcony, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking about how to break the situation, now, the Battle of Wuhan is over, although Japan does not have the greater ability to launch a general war, but the Japanese are still the number one enemy of the Chinese. If all the Japanese were not driven out, the war would not be over.

But in the troubled times, how should he save himself?

"Didn't sleep?" Tang Ning sat beside Chen Xiu, "Today, is something happening?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Xiu nodded, and then told Tang Ning about the day's events.

"So, you're worried?"

"yes."

"When the independent brigade is transferred, it will be transferred, and as a soldier, my father will not object." Tang Ning smiled, "And the bandits around the base have almost been cleared, not to mention, Liuba County is now extremely prosperous, as long as you have a strength, you can support yourself, you don't have to worry about banditry." Or are you afraid that the upper authorities will directly surround our base? ”

"Why should there be no excuse for a trumped-up crime?" Chen Xiu frowned, "Although we are also acting correctly and sitting up straight, we are always incomparable to playing with power." ”

"Then be strong! Not only does the escort not need to be hidden, but it just lets them see it in the open! Then keep hiring! Tang Ning smiled, "It's so powerful that they don't dare to move lightly, isn't it?" ”

Chen Xiu's heart moved, Tang Ning was right, only weakness is the original sin! "Ah Ning, thank you!"

"You're on the tip of the horns!" Tang Ning sighed, "I know you don't want to support the army and stand on your own, but, in the troubled times, if you don't have the strength, you will only die faster." ”

"Well, I'll talk to my dad tomorrow, let's continue to recruit."

"Hmm."

"The people who recruited you still have to work harder." Chen Xiu's brows furrowed, "I'm really sorry, marrying you makes you tired." ”

"Otherwise, how bored should I be?" Tang Ning smiled, "Then I will discuss the defense of the base with Yifeng and them, and be sure to build the base into an iron bucket, so that there is no need to worry about the future." ”

"Okay."

Untie the knot, Chen Xiu is also relieved, Tang Ning is right, because he is weak, he will worry about the east and the west here, as long as his strength is enough, let him change everything, he can break it by himself.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of weapons in the base, whether it is guns or cannons, what is lacking is only people.

……

"Third child, Lao Chen told me something." Tang Hu and Di Feng were in the moonlight, planning to have a few drinks.

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Di Feng frowned, after Chen Xiu came back, he also brought people back from Yichuan.

"On the party-state side, send people to try to empty the white wolf and take away the base." Tang Hu was a little helpless, "I think the two of the old Chen family don't have much ambition, they just want to guard the base like this, and if they continue like this, they will be swallowed and there will be no bones left." ”

"Big brother, what do you mean?"

"Our 15th Brigade alone, there were more than 3,000 people left when we came to Hanzhong, although the number is full now, but starting tomorrow, you will separate the soldiers recruited in Hanzhong from the original soldiers! If there is an order from above, then our 15th Brigade should also take these 3,000 people to transfer. Tang Hu smiled, "Then, you take these soldiers recruited in Hanzhong, stay behind, and guard the base." ”

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?" Di Feng frowned.
