Liu Yimin knows that these Yankees are difficult to manage, if they are not careful, good things will become bad things, and if something like a female student is forcibly killed in Xi'an, it will be a big trouble. You have to beat them up beforehand, and then slowly figure out how to solve the real problem.

Looking at the group of technicians sitting on the side who were not involved, Liu Yimin shouted in English: "All of them, assemble in line!" ”

Those technicians from the United States had to stand up and come together, but most of the technicians had no military experience, and stood in a pile.

Liu Yimin didn't think it was strange, and said loudly in English: "Everyone has seen what happened just now, and the behavior of these six retired air force instructors is very inappropriate. This is China, and the customs of China are different from those of the United States. Chinese girls are very conservative and pursue pure love, and it is from the beginning. You are from the distant United States, and we have invited you here to help us develop and help us fight, not to let you come here to disgrace the people of the United States of America. It's a man, it's a citizen of the United States of America, just let me hear clearly, whoever dares to misbehave and molest a woman in the future, I will cut off his genitals and feed it to the dogs! Did you hear me clearly? ”

A group of American technicians all hung their heads and replied in a jagged whisper: "Yes!" ”

After calming down his tone, Liu Yimin said again: "Of course, you have been working in China for a long time, and we will consider solving your practical life difficulties, and if you have family members in the future, you can bring your family members here." If you don't have a family member, you have met love here, and we have no objection. However, the pursuit of love must be a gentleman, and you must first learn Chinese well before you can communicate with your beloved girl. I sincerely hope that you can create extraordinary work performance in Shaanxi, earn a lot of dollars, and find your ideal love. Did you hear me clearly? ”

At this time, everyone's expressions improved, and they shouted yes!

Liu Yimin ordered six retired air force instructors to come out of the ranks and shouted at them: "The U.S. army is an army that wins battles, and your actions have disgraced the Stars and Stripes!" I despise you! The female comrade just now is the head of our Red Army's art troupe, and here she is your commander. Those who dare to flirt with female commanders will be shot according to the discipline of our Red Army. Now I will punish you each of you to do 100 sit-ups and 100 push-ups, and you will not be allowed to sleep until you complete the task. Did you hear me clearly? ”

Six retired Air Force instructors had no choice but to answer yes.

Chen Yun and the others didn't know what Liu Yimin was talking about, so they saw the six Yankees crawling on the ground in unison and doing sit-ups and push-ups, and there seemed to be people counting next to them. These people are also so obedient and hard-hearted, they look like they can't do it anymore, they are about to crawl to the ground, and their faces are covered with dust, but after a little pause, they still get up and continue to do it. In the end, it seems that the standard has been reached, and they all stand in front of Liu Yimin honestly.

Liu Yimin nodded, thinking that the quality of these instructors was okay, so he waved his hand and asked the interpreter to take them back to camp.

Seeing that Liu Yimin had so quickly subdued the rule of these Americans, Chen Yun and Li Fuchun were secretly surprised in their hearts, and on the way back to the camp, they couldn't help but ask Liu Yimin what method he adopted, and Liu Yimin replied that it was intimidation and temptation, which was the only way to deal with all the unstable elements.

After returning to Xi'an from Hancheng, Liu Yimin was so busy that the Seventh Army Corps, the Red Army University, and Hanzhong ran at three ends.

Considering that there are too many non-combat units in the Seventh Army Corps, which is not conducive to the leanness of the troops, Liu Yimin adjusted the organs directly under the Legion: proposed to the Central Committee to prepare for the establishment of Xi'an Lu Xun Art Institute, organized the Legion Art Troupe into the Lu Yi Experimental Troupe, and suggested that the Central Committee appoint Zhao Xiaoman as the deputy leader of the Lu Yi Preparatory Group, specifically responsible for the preparation of Lu Yi; On the basis of the regimental newspaper "Battle Banner Daily", preparations were made for the establishment of the Shaanxi Provincial Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Organ "Shaanxi Yuebao", and it was suggested that the central government appoint Jingjing as the deputy editor-in-chief to be responsible for the preparatory work; The corps radio station "Xi'an People's Radio" was handed over to Shaanxi Province to resist the Ming Dynasty and cook the political axe; Tang Xingying was dismissed from the post of deputy political commissar of the Logistics Headquarters of the Seventh Army Corps, and was appointed by the central authorities as director of the Women's Work Department of the Shaanxi Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe and deputy secretary general of the All-China Women's Federation.

Although the comrades of the radio station, art troupe, and battle flag newspaper that broke away from the establishment of the Seventh Army Corps were reluctant to give up, although Tang Xingying cried at home for several nights in a row, although Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing cried several times in Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong's offices, although Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong both thought that the art troupe, radio station, and Legion newspaper had made meritorious contributions to the Seventh Army Corps, no matter where the Seventh Army went in the future, as long as there was a base area, these units would be needed, and asked the corps commander to consider it carefully, but Liu Yimin was still unmoved. After the order was issued, the leaders of the three units, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, and Zheng Yan, requested to meet the corps commander before the line, asked the corps commander to give some final instructions, and to give a few words to the comrades. Han Qianjian, secretary of the party committee of the corps and political commissar of the teaching team, replied very simply: "The corps commander does not have time, please comrades carry out the order!" ”

Later, after many years, China was already highly developed, and Liu Yimin was no longer so mysterious. When studying Liu Yimin's history, some people sharply pointed out: Although Liu Yimin's readjustment of the cultural, political, and propaganda departments directly under the Red Seventh Army Corps this time was under the banner of streamlining the organization of the corps headquarters, it was in essence a resolute measure taken to get rid of emotional entanglements. Those parties may know in their hearts, but they can't fight against Liu Yimin's strength. This move didn't have much consequence at the time, but in the use of cadres in the future, except for Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, and Jingjing who have been taken care of, recommended, and reused by him because they have maintained an unclear relationship with Liu Yimin, they have been cared for, recommended, and reused, and other people have been seriously affected due to breaking away from the establishment of the Seventh Army Corps, a hundred battles of heroic divisions, and no senior cadres have been produced in these three units, and even middle-level cadres are rare. It becomes more and more obvious how unfair Liu Yimin is to these people.

As for the Red Army University, since it had recruited US air force instructors, it could not afford to waste time, and the Red Army University immediately opened up a major in aviation units, and selected and recruited 300 air force cadets in Shaanxi Province and various units of the Red Army to further subdivide the specialties and begin theoretical teaching. The six retired instructors of the US Air Force are now being kneaded by Liu Yimin as smooth as noodles, and they are all full of energy, and they chase Liu Yimin for planes when they have nothing to do, saying that theoretical teaching alone is not enough, and the pilots are fed by flight time, and if they do not practice flying, no matter how good they are in theory, it is useless.

Considering the safety of resources and air defense, Liu Yimin proposed that, with the approval of the central authorities, all steel plants, power plants, military factories, and gunpowder factories be built in Mian County, which Li Siguang called "the Ural of Asia." It is rich in mineral resources and has terrain advantages, which is convenient for concealment and defense. The only drawback is that it is too far away from the Dabaodang coal mine, and it is difficult to transport raw coal. But nothing is perfect in the world, thinking about the arrogance of the military plane, Liu Yimin can't help but arrange it like this.

In order to concentrate on the construction of several backbone factories and mines in Hanzhong, Liu Yimin had to entrust Luo Ronghuan with all the work of the Seventh Army Corps, concentrate on 20 days, finish the army contract and tactics course of the Red Army University, and designate Xiao Jinguang to be fully responsible for the work of the Red Army University, and then went straight to Hanzhong, set up camp, and undertook the construction tasks of iron mines, iron and steel plants, power plants, military factories, and gunpowder factories.

He already knew Liu Yimin very well, and knew that there was no one in the party and the army who knew more than him, so he let go of his power and asked him to take up the construction of coal mines and oil mines. This can be regarded as tying Liu Yimin, who is either staying in Hanzhong or rushing between Yanchang and Dabaodang every day, and has not returned to Xi'an for more than half a year.

In this way, Liu Yimin took those technicians from the United States and domestic technical talents such as Shen Qianyi and Zeng Zhao to work hard and slowly until June 2, 1936, when the steel plant and power plant were basically completed and put into trial operation, and the first furnace of steel was finally produced.

Looking at the newly produced steel ingots, those technicians and soldiers and workers who participated in the construction were even more excited, this is the first steel ingot in the history of the Red Army, and it is also the first steel ingot in the history of Shaanxi, and it is the most advanced electric arc furnace in this era, and the steel that can produce cannons!

Liu Yimin's heart was surging.

Since joining the army in Xinwei, Liu Yimin has always dreamed of making the Red Army develop and grow, dreaming of forming an economic system that can read the power of the base area, and dreaming that through his own efforts, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will be fought for a few fewer years, and fewer people will die, and New China will be built as soon as possible.

Now that the coal mines are in normal production, the oil mines are in normal production, and the iron and steel plants are about to be in normal production, plus the gold mines in Tongguan and the pharmaceutical factories in Xi'an, the economy of the base area has industrial support, and the next step is to develop steadily.

With iron and steel, military factories can produce standard weapons and ammunition, coupled with the brand-new education of cadres in the Red Army University, and the abundant soldiers in Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan, can we imagine that when the main force of the Red Army with brand-new weapons and sufficient ammunition goes to the battlefield of resistance against Japan, will it be like in history, when it can only disperse guerrilla attacks and cannot inflict heavy losses on the enemy's heavy army groups?

The more Liu Yimin thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately sent a report to [***], reporting the good news that the steel mill had produced the first high-quality steel ingot.

After sending the telegram, guard Huang Wenhu said: "Commander, this steel ingot has been trained, shouldn't we go back to Xi'an?" It's been two months since Minister Tang gave birth, and you haven't seen it yet! ”

Liu Yimin thought about it, what the hell is this doing, he is busy with work, and he can't even take care of his wife and children. If this work is done well, it is to contribute to the country and the nation, and the wife and children are their own. You have to have both! I have traveled through the 21st century, and I know how precious family affection, peace and stability are in China after the turmoil. It doesn't matter if you can't be a pure [***] member, or if you can't be a big hero who has contributed, you just have to work hard and be worthy of your conscience, and it will be affected by environmental factors. But being a bad husband and a bad father is purely a personal problem. Now, Tang Xingying has given birth to a fat boy on March 28, this child has been born for two months, and the father has not yet taken a look, and he doesn't know whether the little guy is strong or not, white or not, whether he has dimples on his face, whether he loves to laugh or cry.

As soon as the thought of seeing his son and being homesick came up, Liu Yimin was reluctant to stay in Hanzhong for a while, and immediately sent a telegram to [***], preparing to ask for leave to go back to visit relatives.

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to send a report, a telegram from [***] arrived, telling him that Liangguang and Chiang Kai-shek had a fight, and asked him to rush back to Xi'an immediately to discuss the current situation.

Liu Yimin found the directors of several factories, explained the work separately, and asked Huang Wenhu to inform the guard company to prepare and return to Xi'an.

All the way to the Qinling Mountains, it was already the evening of June 5 in Xi'an.

Liu Yimin asked the guard company to go back to the barracks, and he took Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai home directly.

Tang Xingying had already received a telegram from Liu Yimin, holding the child and waiting at the door. Seeing Liu Yimin galloping over, flying off the horse, he only said "You are finally back", and his body slipped down along the door frame, so panicked that Liu Yimin hurriedly stepped forward and picked her up with the child and walked home.

Entering the house, Liu Yimin put Tang Xingying on the chair, took the child and looked at it, white and clean, pink makeup and jade, very cute, and couldn't help but kiss the little face. This kiss made the child cry, Li Yun hurriedly walked out of the room, took the child and coaxed him.

Liu Yimin laughed: "Silly boy, stinky boy, when you see your father, you don't know how to kiss, you will cry!" ”

Li Yun smiled and said, "It would be strange if he could recognize you as his father." As soon as you left, it was more than half a year, and you didn't even have a letter, and you didn't even come back for something as big as Xing Sakura giving birth. Those who know say that you are busy with work and should keep it a secret. I don't know, I thought my daughter was abandoned, these two girls are already orphans and widows! ”

When Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that he was busy and dizzy, and he had done it, and his mother-in-law was educating herself with a smile! Just as he was about to open his mouth to apologize, he heard Tang Xingying say angrily: "Mom, what did you say? Isn't he back? ”

Li Yun looked at Tang Xingying, then at Liu Yimin, sighed, and couldn't help muttering: "Didn't I watch my daughter wipe her tears alone every day and panic?" After saying that, he went out with the child in his arms.

Liu Yimin was already extremely guilty at this time, and took Tang Xingying's hand and said, "Xingying, I've worked hard for you, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to come back, I really can't come back." ”

Tang Xingying held back two tears and got up to get him food.

As soon as they finished eating, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, Wu Zheng, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di, who knew that the commander of the regiment was back, rushed over together.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Luo Ronghuan is already married, and what Liu Yimin didn't expect was that Luo Ronghuan's wife was still Lin Yueqin. Liu Yimin wondered in his heart, without the Western Route Army's expedition to the west, Lin Yueqin's ex-husband should not have been sacrificed by rumors, why did these two people still come together? I'll have to find a chance to ask quietly.

Luo Ronghuan gave a brief report on the work of the Seventh Army Corps for most of the past six months, and expressed his heartfelt congratulations to Liu Yimin for finally building the iron and steel plant, power plant, military factory, and gunpowder factory.

Wu Zheng reported on the situation of the division's reclamation and breeding farms, and also reported on the progress of the troops' pack horses, and also said in detail, Liu Yimin stopped him, saying that he would report in detail when he returned to work at the corps headquarters.

Then, Liu Yimin asked Qian Zhuangfei to report on the current situation in North China and the situation in Guangzhou.

Qian Zhuangfei reported: "On June 1, Liangguang raised troops against Chiang. On June 2, the two Guangxi and Guangxi telegraphed the establishment of a military committee and the anti-Japanese rescue [***], with Chen Jitang as chairman and commander-in-chief of the Military Commission, and Li Zongren as deputy commander-in-chief, and began to march to Hunan. ”

After listening to Qian Zhuangfei's report, which took a long time and contained a lot of content, Liu Yimin straightened out his thinking, and it turned out that as in the course of history, since the establishment of the "Jicha Political Affairs Committee" in North China and the outbreak of the "129" Movement, the military has suspended its aggression militarily and adopted the means of "taking the truth without taking the name of it" in a vain attempt to tightly control the Jicha authorities politically, militarily, and economically. For the time being, the situation in North China is relatively stable, and a more intense storm is brewing. In terms of the two Guangzhous, as in history, due to the death of Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to abolish the semi-reading status of the two Guangzhous and implement the unification of military orders and government orders, which caused Chen Jitang to rebound and lead to armed confrontation.

Since the historical trajectory has not undergone major changes, the trend will not change significantly, and Liu Yimin has a bottom in his heart. For Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi, Liu Yimin still has a trace of respect for them because of their contributions to the battlefield of resistance against Japan. As for Chen Jitang, he is just a warlord who buys his own arms and asks for his advisers, and he will soon fall apart, and Liu Yimin will naturally not stick a stick sideways, change history, and help him defeat the Central Army.

After Qian Zhuangfei finished his report, Luo Ronghuan said: "Commander, don't leave again when you come back this time, since the factory has been built and can produce normally, I think you still have to go back to the corps to preside over the work." I remember that you often said that the Seventh Army Corps should be the mainstay on the battlefield of resistance against the Japanese, but now that the situation is so tense, once there is a big combat mission, you can't do it if you are not in the army. I would like to report to the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the Commander-in-Chief, and ask you to return to the Corps immediately. Do you think it's suitable or not? ”

Cai Zhong said: "I agree with the opinion of the political commissar, if the commander of this corps is not there, the troops will not have spirit. I suggest that a meeting of the cadres of each division be held immediately to report on the training, education, and reclamation situation. ”

Liu Yimin thought for a while and said: "I have been on this trip for more than seven months, and at that time, I was mainly afraid that others would not be familiar with it, and if I did not do it well, I would take a detour, which would affect our next step in weapons production. Now that it has worked, of course you can get out. The commissar doesn't have to report to the chairman, I'll go back to the corps to work normally. Director Cai's suggestion is good, this meeting is very necessary, and there will be no major combat missions for the time being. In this way, but now that the wheat harvest has begun, the meeting has been postponed a bit, and the time has been fixed for late June, and it will be held at the battalion level. The heads of the Political Department, the General Staff Office, and the Logistics Command summed up the work of the previous paragraph, and the political commissar presided over the meeting. ”

After finishing the matter, Cai Zhong said again: "Commander, when the child was born, you were not at home, let alone please the full moon wine, you don't even have a name." I think you're sorry for the two of them. However, you are busy with big things, and you are working for the benefit of our Red Army, and Don Jr. will not blame you. I think, the child has just passed the double full moon, and you have just come back, so you will make up for the full moon wine tomorrow. No matter how busy you are, you can't lose your child. What do you think? ”

Liu Yimin smiled and said: "You are all the uncles of the children, I am not at home, you don't even put the full moon wine for my son?" That's not interesting, isn't it? ”

Luo Ronghuan hurriedly said: "We were set up at the time, and even the chairman and they came. However, you are the father of the child, you can't empty the child's bar? ”

Zeng Zhongsheng continued: "To put it bluntly, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, everyone misses you and wants to be happy together." ”

Liu Yimin immediately agreed that he would set up two tables at home tomorrow, and no one else would call him, just a few people from the army headquarters and the medical staff from the hospital.

A few people left with a smile.

After a day of driving, Liu Yimin was already tired, and as soon as Luo Ronghuan and the others left, Tang Xingying asked Liu Yimin to go to bed. Liu Yimin remembered that he didn't name his son, so he asked Tang Xingying, what is his son's nickname?

Tang Xingying said that she casually shouted Panpan, hoping that the child's father would come back soon.

Liu Yimin must have laughed with a snort, Panpan, it's too funny! Let's just say that in the future, don't call this nickname, just call the big name, just call Tang Zhenghe. In the future, there will be the second, third, and fourth children, respectively called Tang Zhengping, Tang Zhengan, and Tang Zhengning. It means looking forward to the peace and tranquility of the country and the nation. It can also be directly called Tang He, Tang Ping, Tang An, and Tang Ning. Peace and tranquility are the nicknames of children.

When Tang Xingying heard this, she was pleasantly surprised, because people in that era paid great attention to inheritance, what the child's surname was very important, she was an only daughter, if her parents knew that the child's surname was Tang, I am afraid they would faint with joy.

Holding back the excitement in her heart, Tang Xingying still asked: "Why don't you have the surname Liu, but the surname Tang?" ”

Liu Yimin said: "A name is just a symbol, you can call it anything. I mainly think about the safety of my children. There were spies assassinating in Chengdu, and spies spreading rumors and slander in Xi'an. This will be on the battlefield in the future, and I don't know what tricks this agent will make! I originally wanted to use the surnames of the two of us, but the surnames of Li, Zhang, and Wang, but I was afraid that you would not want to, so I used the surname Tang. ”

When Tang Xingying heard this, it turned out to be this consideration, and immediately said that it would be called Li Zhenghe, and the Tang character should not be used.

Liu Yimin knew that his wife loved her and was more open than herself. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, when we win, we can just change it." ”

The two went to bed to rest.

Lying on the bed, Tang Xingying held back her tears all night before she flowed out, saying that Liu Yimin was really ruthless, and when she came back from Hancheng, she didn't even see her, so she was driven away from the Seventh Legion. Then he went to Hanzhong, and after walking for more than half a year, even his mother wondered if something annoyed him and asked him not to want this home. If he doesn't come again, he will take his son and go to Hanzhong to look for him.

Liu Yimin was busy comforting Tang Xingying, the construction tasks of several factories were big, and it was not safe to ask others to go. You can't go anywhere, and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Tang Xingying was a little happier at this time, and the two of them fell asleep.

(To be continued)
