It should be said that Zeng Kuoqing has tried his best, but the time is too short, the dormitory building of 2,000 people can not be completed at all, so far only four bungalows have been repaired, each building has six rooms, even if it is crowded, each can only live in 16 people, more than 800 people can not live, and then there are about 1,000 people in the escort, Zeng Kuoqing and Teng Jie really have no choice, so they built some temporary buildings - sheds, this kind of shed is very simple, a few wooden stakes, surrounded by reed mats, beds, is a few planks, now the weather is hot, Just cover it with a straw mat.

Because the room was not enough, Zeng Guangqing left one room for Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong and Mei Youlan, he and Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu were crowded together, and Teng Jie and his wife also lived alone, so they almost occupied a room.

"Brother Enlargement, this is not good." After Zhuang Jihua checked it, he called Zeng Kuoqing, Li Zhilong, and Teng Jie aside: "The dormitory must be adjusted, if there are children in Tian, you can live alone, and everyone else will move out, the distribution of housing is as follows, there are three experts and professors, everyone must be equipped with a desk, and the rest of the room, girls are preferred, and then workers with families, boys, and when the escort team arrives, the order is soldiers, officers, and those with low ranks are selected first, and those with the same military rank are given priority." ”

If according to Zhuang Jihua's approach, in this base, he was the last to live in the building, Zeng Guangqing had to persuade him, Zhuang Jihua waved his hand: "Do it like this, adjust it immediately." ”

"No," Li Zhilong immediately said: "I can't accept it, I have to move out, and I also live in a sunflower shed." ”

"Okay." Zhuang Jihua calmly agreed: "Junfu, you redistribute." ”

Teng Jie agreed unequivocally, but Zeng Guangqing hesitated: "Cultural Revolution, do you need this?" ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at him and Teng Jie very solemnly and said: "Junfu has some things that are not clear, but we are clear, what we have to do in the next few years requires many people to make sacrifices, when asking others to make sacrifices, we must first set an example, if we can't even do this, what can we do in the future?" ”

Zeng Guangqing was silent, Teng Jie's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement, he was a little resistant to Sichuan, last year he initiated the establishment of the Blue Coat Society, and served as the first secretary of the Blue Coat Society, but he didn't expect that only a few months later, Chiang Kai-shek sent him to Sichuan, which made him very confused, he didn't know if it was because of several arguments with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek sent him to Sichuan, and he had an opinion on Zhuang Jihua, he thought that Zhuang Jihua went abroad to evade responsibility, and he looked at what he did after returning to China, but also lack a sense of responsibility to the country.

But Teng Jie didn't ask anything, although he didn't have much contact with Zhuang Jihua, he also understood that if Zhuang Jihua didn't want him to know, he would never be able to inquire about anything.

Soon the dormitory was adjusted, and the thirty-four experts who came together occupied two rooms, and the remaining two were occupied by female students, and then arranged for several workers to drag their families with their families, these workers were all refugees who escaped from the northeast, and they were all skilled workers in Shenyang's steel mills and arsenals.

Charged with a handful of heroes during the day and sleeping on a hard wooden bed at night, Zhuang Jihua regretted it in his heart, he had lived comfortably all these years, and such a bed had long been far away from his life.

"Uncomfortable?" Liu Yinshu leaned over quietly, and her body still exuded a fragrance after the bath.

"Well, not very used to it." Zhuang Jihua also whispered that this kind of shack is not soundproof, next door is Li Zhilong and Teng Jie on the other, and the room is a little louder, and it can be heard on both sides.

Zhuang Jihua said sideways to Liu Yinshu: "Ah Shu, I'm sorry for making you suffer." ”

Liu Yinshu laughed softly: "My husband sleeps on a wooden bed, and I have to follow, otherwise how can I call marrying a chicken and following a chicken." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled in the dark, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms: "The difficulty is temporary, it will be fine after a while." ”

Liu Yinshu hummed softly, and Zhuang Jihua said: "We have to stay here for many years, and this base must be built." ”

Things are complicated, and the scene of the day comes to his mind again, Liu Xiang, what will this Sichuan hero have towards their affairs? Stop, make trouble, what kind of means will he take? Zhuang Jihua had no clue in his heart, and then thought about the factory, it was difficult at the beginning, but how to open it at the beginning? Exploration first, or planning the factory first, the planning factory must notify the United States to order equipment, and this side must select the factory site; But the question arises again, what factory should be built first? The steel factory still directly built a gun factory, and the pharmaceutical factory ......, and in the chaos, Zhuang Jihua fell asleep in a daze.

In the next few days, Zhuang Jihua and everyone started to tidy up the base, level the land, help build the laboratory, and began to open up the road from the base to the wharf. The power of the people was indeed enormous, and by the time the convoy arrived, the road had begun to take shape.

Zhuang Jihua did not expect that the chief and deputy captains of the escort team were actually his old acquaintances Du Yuming and Hong Junqi, and with the team came Tang Zong, the director of the security department appointed by Dai Li, Tang Zong was a graduate of the sixth phase of Whampoa, and originally served as a confidential secretary in the secret service led by Dai Li, who was shrewd and capable, and won the trust of Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li.

After a short surprise, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but have a layer of doubts, but before he could speak, Du Yuming couldn't help but speak first: "Cultural Revolution, what are we going to do in Sichuan?" The principal transferred me from Hubei, Henan, and Anhui to Nanjing, and when we met, I asked if I would like to come to you as a bodyguard, of course I nodded and agreed, but I was still confused, and the principal didn't explain, let me come to Sichuan to ask you, you explained to me, what are we doing here? ”

"Yes, the Cultural Revolution, I'm also confused." Hong Junqi also interjected eagerly and asked, before he served as the deputy head of the camp guard regiment in the Nanchang camp, he was also transferred to Nanjing in a daze, and then came to Sichuan.

"I thought it was Song Xilian coming." Zhuang Jihua understood a little in his heart that Chiang Kai-shek had taken great pains to treat his deputy, and Du Yuming and Hong Junqi had dealings with him, but the relationship was not as close as Song Xilian, so the two candidates were just right.

"Meng Guo wanted to come, and the report was handed over to the principal, but the principal thought that the 87th Division had suffered too much loss in Shanghai, and he was needed to help." Du Yuming couldn't help but want to laugh when he talked about Song Xilian, and after he came out, Song Xilian came to him and asked him to have a treat, for no other reason, that is, he went to Sichuan.

"By the way, since it was trained by Moe Guo, why didn't the principal let him come?" This question has been hidden in Hong Junqi's mind for a long time, and when he sees Zhuang Jihua, he can finally ask.

"The principal naturally has the principal's arrangement," Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "Why don't you want to?" Want to leave me here alone? ”

After joking with Du Yuming, Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked Tang Zong: "Do you also have such a problem?" ”

"Yes, I want to ask for instructions." Tang Zong didn't look like a spy at all, white and clean, with a pair of platinum-framed delicate glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"There's no rush now, I'll tell you all then." Zhuang Jihua looked at Tang Zong, and then said solemnly: "You may already know that I have recruited a group of students in Beiping, most of them have participated in the anti-Japanese petition march, have been in prison, and are very sensitive to you, so you must pay special attention to it, you must not fall into the handle, if you want to take action against any of them, you must have conclusive evidence in advance, and you must report to me, these two points must be firmly remembered." ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone had become very stern in the end, but Tang Zong's expression did not change in the slightest and did not refute, but simply agreed: "Yes." ”

Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised, it seemed that this Tang Zong was not easy to match, he looked at him deeply, and then said: "I'll go and see those experts, you guys settle down the soldiers." ”

There were also about a dozen experts who came with the boat this time, and their accommodation was arranged in the villagers' homes on Guanyinqiao Street.

Two days later, in the evening, Zhuang Jihua summoned all the experts, as well as Du Yuming, Hong Junqi, Tang Zong, and others to the office shack in the center of the base.

"You must have a lot of questions in your minds, what are we doing here? Among you are steel experts, chemical experts, electricity experts, mechanical experts, road traffic experts, professional soldiers, counterintelligence specialists, what are we going to do when a group of people gather here to explore the resources of the southwest region? It seems that there are so many people, and today I will uncover this mystery for you. ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he made a gesture, and Song Yunfei opened the curtain behind Zhuang Jihua, revealing a 1:500,000 map of China.

"I confess that when I invited you, I didn't tell the whole truth, because I can't do that, and what we're going to do must be kept secret, so the content of today's meeting must be kept secret, at least not a word can be revealed until the war is fully broken."

Zhuang Jihua's words caused a burst of whispers among the participants, some excited, some confused, and finally focused on Zhuang Jihua, waiting for his further explanation.

"..., after 918, the army provoked the 128 Incident in Shanghai, and the political axe judged that within five to eight years, a full-scale war would inevitably break out between China and China, and our job was to prepare for this war."

Zhuang Jihua's words made those experts from Peking extremely excited, but then they fell into confusion again.

"What are we going to prepare?"

"Why is this here? Isn't it bad in Shanghai, Beiping, Shandong? ”

…

…

"The difference in strength between China and China is obvious, once the war breaks out, we will lose the North China Plain, Jiangnan, Shandong, Shanxi, unfortunately, although I am very reluctant in my heart, but I am a soldier, I must admit the facts, this division has hundreds of guns, but what about us? An army has no more than a dozen guns, this is still the equipment of the Central Army, and when it comes to local troops, it is good to have a few machine guns in a regiment, why? The reason, I think you also know very well, is not that the central government favors one over the other, but that the central government does not have so much money, and most of our weapons have to be purchased from abroad, and once the war starts, the consumption of weapons and ammunition will be amazing, which requires a lot of money, and our country has so much money? No. ”

Zhuang Jihua said this, and then the participants said: "I have said so many depressing things, so is it impossible for us to win this war?" No, I can tell you clearly that the final victory will definitely belong to us, I have no doubt about this, because the way of fighting is different, the strong country has the strong way of playing, the weak country has the way of playing the weak country, the weak country has the way of playing, and the way of playing of the weak country is very simple and summed up in one sentence, exchanging time for space, accumulating small victories into big victories, slowly consuming the strength of the enemy, while we are slowly becoming stronger, and finally winning the victory, as for the speed of this strengthening, it depends on our work today. ”

"The choice of Sichuan is the result of comprehensive consideration by the political axe and is based on the preparation for a long-term war of resistance. What we need to do in Sichuan is to study new equipment and build factories, including iron and steel factories, firearms factories, artillery factories, pharmaceutical factories, hospitals, aircraft factories, telecommunications equipment factories, and so on. Now I want you to share your opinions, how do we go about it, and where do we start? Remember, what we need is not conventional development, but unconventional development, and we don't have much time, five years at the shortest, eight years at the maximum. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua sat down, and the room fell silent, five years, to complete so much construction, and in the case of war, this is almost an impossible task.

"How much money is the political axe going to invest?" After a long time, someone finally asked.

"Don't think about the issue of funds, to tell you the truth, we are not the only ones who are preparing for this matter, overseas Chinese have already taken action, they have raised a lot of money, and the political axe intends to invest all this money in it." Zhuang Jihua can't tell the truth about this question, and must save face for Chiang Kai-shek: "So don't think about the problem of funds, you just have to come up with a plan, if I can't give you funds, you come to me again, now I only want the result, five years later, there will be a national defense industry in Sichuan to support the war of resistance." ”

"First of all, electricity," someone finally stood up: "Whether it's a steel plant or any other plant, if you want to run it, you can't do it without enough electricity." ”

Zhuang Jihua saw that Wu Kungang, a professor at Tsinghua University, an electric power expert, was speaking, and he said without thinking about it: "Okay, please ask Professor Wu to develop a power development plan for the Yucheng area, Mayor Pan is also preparing to expand the Yucheng power plant, they seem to have a plan, I will talk to him with you tomorrow." ”

"No, I think the most important thing to build is the road, whether it is to bring in the equipment or to send the weapons to the front line, it needs to be transported, so the road construction should start now." Fang Yixuan, a professor at Jiao Tong University from Shanghai, said.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, he had actually considered this question: "Professor Fang, you see that the people of Sichuan have been talking about the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway for a long time, how about you say that we should start with the Chengyu Railway first?" In addition, it is not realistic to build all the railways, the construction period is too long, and the situation in Sichuan is also very complicated, I would like to say that the railway should be built into the Chongqing railway first, connect Chengdu and Yucheng, and build a few highways with other provinces. ”

"It's all right, but you must start planning now, and build while planning, otherwise it will be too late." Professor Fang said.

"Okay, Professor Fang, then please come forward and organize a team, called the road team, which will be responsible for opening up traffic for us." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

….

Subsequently, the steel group, the chemical group... Wait, Zhuang Jihua also specifically asked to set up a weapons and equipment group, which is responsible for the research of weapons and equipment, Zhuang Jihua still has several weapons in his head, and if he doesn't develop them for himself to taste, he will feel very uncomfortable.

The meeting was held until late at night, the atmosphere of the meeting became more and more enthusiastic, everyone was a little excited, the sultry heat of Xia Yue did not affect their mood at all, and when they walked out of the venue, a strong sense of mission arose spontaneously in their hearts.

After the experts left, Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming stayed behind, and now the matter they wanted to discuss was more urgent.

"Now you know what we're here for." Zhuang Jihua smiled at Du Yuming: "How is it, are you still satisfied." ”

"I'm quite satisfied, but..."When Du Yuming was still considering the words, Zhuang Jihua interrupted him with a smile.

"But it's just a little condescending, isn't it?"

Du Yuming smiled and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"If it's just a bodyguard, let you Du Guangting come, you will definitely be condescending," Zhuang Jihua said solemnly, and then looked at Hong Junqi, Zeng Guangqing, Li Zhilong, Teng Jie, and Tang Zong one by one.

"We were talking about hardware, and now we're going to talk about software." Zhuang Jihua's words made everyone wonder what this software is.

"Software is soft power, soft power is embodied in the organization of the people, it is not enough to have good weapons, simply put, after a battle, half of the soldiers are killed or wounded, how to supplement? We are now relying on recruitment, but once the war starts, the speed of recruitment will definitely not be able to catch up with the consumption, so we still have to establish a reserve, but the establishment of a reserve requires the cooperation of the regime," Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua paced two steps in the room: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, so that we can mobilize the people and mobilize the forces of the whole society, and what we have to do can get twice the result with half the effort, so after thinking about it, I decided to take Yucheng and take Yucheng in our hands." Now let's talk about how to achieve this. ”
