Perhaps He Zhengdao himself did not expect that in front of Liu Bocheng and the division leaders of the 129th Division, he would talk about such a sensitive issue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Even if many people in the army do not like the Soviet side very well, few people dare to say this about the big brother of the Soviet Union.

Whether it is admitted or not, the Soviet Union still had a great influence in the Eighth Route Army at this time. But in He Zhengdao's view, as a soldier, you should think more from the standpoint of your own country. This is the political consciousness that a soldier should have.

Even at present, many people attribute the territories occupied by the Soviet Union to the occupation of Tsarist Russia. But now that Mongolia has become openly independent, who will support it and make it ignore the protests of Beiyang and the Republic of China government?

Although the theme of resistance against Japan is now, for He Zhengdao, he hopes that in his lifetime, he can recover the territory left by his ancestors. Those lost territories are actually really important for the future of China.

Mongolia and the Far East, which seem to be in poor environmental condition in the eyes of many people, are actually the regions with the richest oil, gas and mineral deposits. If these oil, gas and mineral deposits can be won, it will be crucial to China's future rise.

He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, knew very well that under these seemingly barren lands, there were rich resources of astonishing value. With these resources, why not have the capital to rise?

Fortunately, after He Zhengdao finished speaking, he also intended to divert this topic. After all, when talking about these things, He Zhengdao just hopes that more people in the military and within the party will understand that the backer of the Soviet Union cannot be counted on.

Once the hope is pinned on the Soviet Union, then the signing of a non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Japan soon after will be tantamount to their abandonment. Even, there will be a certain misunderstanding of the Eighth Route Army in China.

Liu Bocheng, who was also shocked by He Zhengdao's remarks, must admit that the situation He Zhengdao said exists. But what surprised Liu Bocheng even more was that He Zhengdao was so concerned about the international situation in China.

So much so that in the end, Liu Bocheng also said sincerely: "Righteous way, do you mean that Germany will launch a war of aggression against Britain, France and other countries in the near future?" Do they have the strength now? ”

Yes, compared to other European countries, Germany was not taken very seriously as a defeated country. As a defeated country, Dezhiyi has been concentrating on accumulating war resources in an attempt to wash away the shame of the defeated country.

And the harsh terms signed by the world once made many Germans resentful. In addition, Hitler, who was in power in Germany at the moment, was a pure nationalist himself, and his ambitions and domestic needs a new war.

In addition, the imbalance in the economic, political, and military development of the European and American countries has intensified, and Germany, Italy, and Japan, which have developed their military strength relatively rapidly, have demanded a redivision of the world's sphere of influence, thus further sharpening the contradictions between the opposing sides.

After all, looking at the current world pattern, the European countries, led by Britain, France and the United States, have a large number of colonies. On the other hand, Germany, which is growing rapidly in strength, is still a defeated country, which naturally breeds some dissatisfaction and contradictions.

This year Germany annexed Austria and made territorial claims to Czechoslovakia. The most surprising thing was that Britain and France went so far as to reach an agreement with Germany at the expense of Czechoslovakia.

Such a concession would only increase Germany's appetite and ambitions, and also make Germany see the weakness of Britain and France. One is Germany, which wants revenge and is ready for war, and the other is the victorious country, which is obsessed with past victories and does not want to go to war.

Faced with such a situation, Germany must sooner or later take action against Britain and France. Once these European military and economic powers go to war, it will also have a certain impact on our current war of resistance. Now it is up to us to see if we have the strength to win this war.

If we can catch up with the war in Europe and win the war against Japan, then we will be able to rise rapidly without constraints. By the time the war in Europe is divided, I believe we will have enough strength to meet the new round of challenges. ’

Compared with when he was in the 117th Division, He Zhengdao, who has now come to the 129th Division, discussed more issues with Liu Bocheng and others about some international politics and war situations. What is surprising is that He Zhengdao knows so much.

This also made many leaders of the 129th Division who participated in the meeting see that this young man was different. When many people's vision was still limited to China, He Zhengdao put his strategic vision abroad.

From such a strategic vision, it can also be seen that He Zhengdao is indeed not simple. This also means that He Zhengdao has begun to stand at the national level, look at some things and analyze some domestic and foreign situations.

After chatting about these things, Political Commissar Deng also said in a timely manner: "Commander, shouldn't we also talk about some serious things!" If you don't hurry up, you won't have time to say it tomorrow. That matter can't be left until the meeting in Yan'an, right? ”

Seeing that the time was not early, Political Commissar Deng also reminded Liu Bocheng in a timely manner and hurriedly mentioned to He Zhengdao about the establishment of the ordnance branch. After all, both machines and workers need help from the Yulin Arsenal!

Listening to what Political Commissar Deng said, He Zhengdao also looked at Liu Bocheng in confusion. After listening to Liu Bocheng's words, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "It is indeed necessary to set up an arsenal in Taihang Mountain. ”

So you're agreeing to help! ’

Hearing that He Zhengdao recognized his idea, Liu Bocheng naturally seemed very happy. If an arsenal can be formed near Taihang Mountain, then the 129th Division will naturally benefit the most. As for the supply of ammunition, it will be solved on its own.

Looking at Liu Bocheng's happy face, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "The old chief has said so, do I dare to say that I won't help?" It's just that to rebuild an arsenal, place, workers, and money are all crucial.

Another important point is what kind of arsenal the old chief wants to set up. If you want to build an arsenal similar to Yulin, I guess the central government and the headquarters will not agree.

Although I know that the more arsenals, the better, but in terms of resources, if there are too many arsenals on the market, it will also form a waste of resources. Therefore, the old chief needs to think about what this arsenal intends to build. ”

Regarding He Zhengdao's worries, Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "It is naturally impossible to build an arsenal as big as Yulin. Even if I had this heart, I wouldn't have been able to come up with that much money, let alone find so many workers.

I wanted to start an arsenal, but I wanted to be able to produce some reloads and grenades and mines. If you can, it would be nice to get a few more machines and do some gun repairs. ”

If that's the case, it shouldn't be much of a problem. As far as I know, there are still many skilled craftsmen who have been withdrawn from the Taiyuan Arsenal in Yan Xishan, and I can also discuss with them to recruit them as workers at that time.

At present, Yan Xishan's life is not easy, and in order to feed the troops under his command, he also needs funds, guns and ammunition. We can provide a batch of weapons and ammunition, and replace them with people or even those idle machines and equipment.

In order to carry out bullet reloading, it is also necessary to build a gunpowder factory. There is also a lot of iron ore here, and you can disassemble some rails from the railway line from time to time, and even set up a small steel factory.

Of course, that's all my vision. What to do depends on what the headquarters and the old chief think. At least I personally think that if we want to make our military industry bigger and stronger, it is far from enough to rely on a single Yulin Arsenal. ’

As He Zhengdao said this, Political Commissar Deng smiled and said, "Teacher, you see let me guess right again!" I said that to set up an arsenal, Commander He would definitely fight Yan Laoxi's idea. It seems that we are really heroes, and we see something in the same way! ”

"Xiao He, the reason why I want to set up the arsenal is also that when I contacted Jin Suijun a few times ago, I learned that they have a lot of machines and workers who are idle. There were even some young workers who were incorporated into the army as soldiers.

I think it's better to let the young people be soldiers than to make them workers. Produce more weapons and ammunition and let our troops fight the little devils, so that they can be considered to be the best of their talents.

And Yan Xishan's side, as you said, his life is not very easy now. Lao Jiang had stopped paying the salaries of the Jin Sui army for a long time, so that Yan Xishan could only pay for his troops now.

In addition, the little devil has a relatively strict blockade of Linfen, and many of the small factories he runs in Linfen cannot be opened at all. I think it's better to leave those people and machines idle, than to exchange something with them.

When I went to the headquarters a few days ago, I discussed this matter with the boss. What the boss means is that the formation of the arsenal should be carried out by the people on our side to be practical. This means that a group of people must be transferred from the Yulin Arsenal.

Of course, we also hope that you can give us ideas on this matter. After all, you already have experience in such a thing as the construction of arsenals. So, I can only ask you for support in this matter. ’

'That's fine!' It's just that you've found a place? This is not as good as Yulin, and if you want to form an arsenal, you must choose a suitable place. Otherwise, once the little devil knows, he will definitely send planes to bomb it. ’

In He Zhengdao's view, the biggest problem in the formation of the arsenal at the moment is how to prevent the surprise attack of the little devils. Once the arsenal is exposed, the little devils will definitely have to send planes to bomb it, and then the arsenal will definitely not be formed.

Regarding this worry, Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "We have also considered this and found an ideal place to build a factory." It is a natural stone cave, just in the mountains on the other side of Licheng. At present, I have sent someone to clean up the place. ”

Listening to what Liu Bocheng said, He Zhengdao was basically sure that it should be the Huangya Cave, where the famous Eighth Route Army Arsenal was located in history. It seems that the inertia of this history is really not small, and it will eventually become the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.) )
