Since the matter of railway wiring could not be discussed, the participants of all parties had to temporarily adjourn the meeting, and when everyone had thought about it and all kinds of bargaining chips had been gathered, it would not be too late to resume negotiations. I don't know where Minister He lives, he was the first to leave, and he still walked through the side door, and Ma Hongbin already had a residence and didn't need to worry about it.

Only Liu Yun came to Guangyuan for the first time, and he couldn't find a place to live for a while, and was considering whether to go to the branch of the road repair team in western Sichuan, but Deng Xihou, the host, would not let him go around, so he pulled him with a smile and personally sent him to a half-frontage compound, which is a typical residential house in northwest Sichuan.

The color of the compound is quite new, it should be the courtyard that was repaired in the past two years, a total of three large houses, a total area of more than 700 square meters, the street building is a two-storey wooden building, which is convenient for the householder to rent or do business, which is a common wooden plywood tile house, warm in winter and cool in summer, more suitable for human habitation.

Such a large mansion in northwest Sichuan, and there is no electricity, a black hole, as if even if there are a hundred and ten people, there is no sound, Liu Yun is really a little scared, and when he is hesitating, Deng Xihou does not say much, but personally takes him and walks around inside, well, the ambient air is not bad.

Sanjin big house, not only automatically enclosed into two hollow shapes, but also there are patios, pools, flowers and vegetation, etc., by the way, the population is relatively small in these years, the area of the house is larger than expected, if even the nearby bamboo forest is also counted, the land is more than 1,000 square meters.

To Liu Yun's surprise, the appearance of the house with poor lighting is actually very good, not only the patio can be lit, but also at the beginning of the construction, the craftsmen also paid attention to the problem of lighting and ventilation, such as the roof is equipped with glass tiles, forming a bright light, but because of the lack of electricity, it is really annoying at night.

However, Commander Liu and Deng Xihou are both rich people, not only candles, oil lamps are available, but also diesel engines are available, the only trouble is that the noise is louder, generally only used when the military situation is urgent, usually it is better to light oil lamps, but the next day is smoked into black Africans.

After the two of them walked around, the servants in the house also came out to greet them one by one, but Deng Xihou pulled Liu Yun and asked, "It's quite quiet here, it's called Guanglu, I don't know if the virtuous nephew is satisfied."

Satisfied, what else is Commander Liu dissatisfied, the bungalows and villas are good, and those are all the patents of the middle class. If you can go to the next level and reach the level of Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang, you like to live in local houses, because elegant houses are often the masterpieces of local architecture, and the most suitable for people to live in is that they occupy too much land and cannot be promoted at all, otherwise there will be no commercial housing for a long time.

Seeing that Liu Yun was so knowledgeable, Deng Lao was also quite happy, so he asked the left and right entourage to bring a land deed and give it directly to Commander Liu. What does this mean? Sending a property for nothing, Liu Yun was also a little hesitant, and this favor was too big.

However, the elder gave and did not dare to resign, and Commander Liu did not dare to resign, and he was really in a hurry for a while, but General Deng Xihou solved the puzzle by himself, "Yicheng, uncle, I am a rough person, but I and other Sichuan people still pay the most attention to the word Xinyi, and give the property here to the virtuous nephew, hoping to cooperate with each other for a long time."

Liu Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, carefully folded the deed, and then said respectfully to Deng Lao, "The little nephew also has this intention, before coming to Guangyuan, he has already instructed the adjutant Zhang Sili to lead a group of subordinates to Guangyuan to work at a fixed point in Guangyuan, specifically responsible for the sales of aircraft in the entire northwest region."

Deng Xihou is not very unfamiliar with airplanes, and there are seven or eight reconnaissance planes in the army under his command, so he naturally has a little understanding, but he is a little cautious like Liu Yun, but he doesn't understand it.

Then the two sat on the rattan chair in the patio, let the servant bring some tea and melons and fruits, and talked carefully, for Deng Lao's doubts, Liu Yun took Yingxiu Town of the Sichuan Army as an example to explain the role of airplanes and tanks, but Deng Xihou disagreed, this tank and plane can not climb the mountain.

Liu Yun was also speechless for a while, because there are more mountains in Guangyuan and Longnan, so the light infantry and mountain infantry are more popular, and no matter how powerful the tanks and other heavy weapons are, they can only circle along the mountain road, and the speed of operation is not fast if they want to, maybe they will be hit by a few big stones and hang, and General Deng's statement is not wrong.

As for airplanes, these days were still the era of visual flight, and they were most suitable for reconnaissance. As for air combat and the like, it is based on character, a large number of planes, flying several times, dropping several bombs, often not even a single hair of the enemy is blown up, except for empty fuel consumption, it is useless.

As for the battle of Yingxiu Town, from the perspective of Deng Xihou and other veterans, it was Liu Xiang's good luck to meet Zhang Guotao, who didn't know soldiers, the conscience of heaven and earth, and Vice Chairman Zhang was also a genius in using soldiers.

Well, the older a person gets, the more stubborn his character becomes, there is no blood-like fact in front of him, the old generals will not be convinced, Liu Yun had to reveal his "aircraft results", Yan'an ordered 50 (free delivery), 50 in the Central Army, 30 in Ma Jiajun, and 200 in Chengdu, etc., about four or five hundred were sold.

In the past six months, the matter of western Sichuan manufacturing airplanes has also been widely reported, and it is said that the Nanjing Military Commission has threatened to build an air force unit with thousands of fighters and build a joint airline with European and American powers. And the Sichuan army does not seem to be far behind, and it is also necessary to form an air force and passenger aviation.

Are these planes cheap? Liu Yun only drew one number, "fifteen".

Deng Xihou was also interested, and asked with some speculation, "150,000 silver dollars?" ”

Someone's silent hint, yellow.

"Well, I know, it's 150,000 taels of gold", General Deng was very honest, and said that someone's heart was cold, it was really so expensive, who would dare to buy his plane, just go and grab it.

Forget it, Commander Liu decided to say it himself, so he coughed a few times, showed a charming smile, and whispered, "Well, the ex-factory price in western Sichuan, each fighter is worth 15 kilograms of gold."

Deng Xihou was most familiar with the silver dollar, which was denominated in gold and dollars, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he asked stupidly, "That virtuous nephew, how much is it in exchange for the ocean, and what should I do if there is no gold?" ”

Dizzy, no gold, what kind of plane to buy, don't charge the ocean to know no. Of course, Liu Yun would never dare to say such words, so he reminded very euphemistically, "We have invited a lot of Germans from the West Sichuan Arsenal, and they don't believe much in Dayang or any mark."

"Knowing it, they believe in gold, they came to China to pan for gold", Deng Xihou immediately understood, and was upset for Liu Yun, "These big noses are really not things, they liked to rob Africans and Indians at the beginning, but now it's good, they came to rob us."

This has wronged the German allies, Liu Yun's old face turned red, and he hurriedly stopped, "Ahem, Uncle Shi, low-key and low-key, we are now allies with the Germans, what you say now is very detrimental to unity, not to mention that the Germans are also more friends, and the quality of arms in western Sichuan is indeed excellent."

In this way, Deng Xihou is also a little embarrassed, there are seventy or eighty thousand people under his command, and it is already very difficult to raise them with a little commercial tax and agricultural tax, not to mention the new weapons and equipment, otherwise he will not follow the example of Corporal Liu Bei Lixian, and originally hoped to earn some weapons and the like for nothing, but others only need gold to sell.

Gold, gold, Deng Xihou was also anxious, for a while, where did he find gold, he only had millions of oceans in his hands, or the living expenses of tens of thousands of brothers under his hands, by the way, didn't Commander Liu like oil, it was not okay to use oil in exchange, there seemed to be oil deposits near Guangyuan.

Remember, it seems to be in Cangxi County and Wangcang County, Deng Xihou hurriedly asked someone to send a map, and immediately found these two counties in his jurisdiction, and told Liu Yun that there was oil here, and it seemed that it was discovered by Soviet experts.

Guangyuan has oil, how can Liu Yun himself not know, by the way, he is in another time and space, and he has never been to Guangyuan, how can he know, could it be that tens of thousands of tons of small oil fields have been discovered, and General Deng Lao is too lazy to say it, and he took out all the seized information, which is actually a proper Russian version.

Fortunately, there is a wise brain translation, Liu Yun can barely understand it, this information really mentions oil, which is extremely rich in resources in Guangyuan, but Russian experts are only a rough guess, suspecting that Cangxi County and Wangcang County have oil deposits of about 5 million tons and billions of cubic meters of natural gas.

Speaking of natural gas, Liu Yun suddenly knew the ins and outs, yes, there is a shortage of oil in Sichuan, but there is no shortage of natural gas and asphalt, in another time and space, Sichuan roads have always been very popular black pavement, or asphalt roads, the reason is that when drilling for oil, a large amount of natural asphalt and natural gas were found.

What does asphalt have to do with natural gas, and what does it have to do with oil? Let's put it this way, the residue of oil after refining is asphalt, and natural gas is a combustible gas, of course, it can also be understood that oil in a short molecular state, or volatile oil, can also be burned as gasoline after certain technical improvements.

However, there are ant robots in hand, these technical improvements, or technical processing are some small meanings, Zhi Brain also assured Liu Yun that these asphalt and gas, after the purification and processing of the ant robot, can be used as oil, but I don't know how many specific reserves. In other words, the purpose of coming here is to survey the terrain and resources, and with the information of Soviet experts, you can also have a target, and pay more attention to these places.

By the way, among these sources, there are also some other resources, such as 600 million tons of coal, 1,000 tons of gold, 4 million tons of pyrite, 9 million tons of bauxite, and 300 million tons of cement limestone. Liu Yun was also ecstatic, this Guangyuan is really a cornucopia, investment, resolutely invest, even if the actual resources are only half of the surface data, it is enough to support the development of the rear of the Anti-Japanese War.

If you explain it directly to Deng Xihou, I am afraid that there will be complications, Commander Liu decided to talk about life and thoughts with Deng Lao, "Uncle Shi, the little nephew has something unknown, you have been fighting horses for half your life, what are you trying to do?" Is it like Boss Liu, to be the king of Sichuan, and to be a small prince of one side? ”

Deng Xihou was also stunned when he heard this, touched his gray hair, pointed to the officers and soldiers standing guard outside, and said with a smile, "You young people, all of you are the sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, where do you know what the old people think, and call the king the hegemon, it is all the business of young people."

"Let me tell you the truth, my greatest wish is to hope that these officers and soldiers under my command can be properly settled. They were born and died with me, but now most of them are dying, and their sharpness has long been exhausted, and it would be all nonsense to let them carry guns and fight. Being a soldier is just to make ends meet."

Commander Liu was overjoyed in his heart, and finally seized the opportunity, and said with a sad face, "Uncle Shi's idea is very realistic. But the Japanese devils are pressing forward step by step, and now that the Sino-Japanese war is imminent, if you raise the art of war like Uncle Shi, wouldn't it harm others and yourself. These people are not good at fighting, and once they are on the battlefield, they will only lose their lives in vain, and even the battles that should be won will be lost, and they themselves will die worthless."
