Chapter 164 The Independent Column Delivers New Year's Goods
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
As the commander of the independent column and also a member of the border district government, Ho Zhengdao's New Year was undoubtedly very busy. It's just that when he saw Yulin City on the thriving sun, He Zhengdao still felt busy and happy.
There is still about a week before the Spring Festival, and the material team with Yao Shengjun as the commander also began to set off from Yulin City to Yan'an. These materials are all New Year's goods escorted to the headquarters by Yulin.
Although the life in the Yulin border area is not rich now, He Zhengdao is as clear as he is that the life at the headquarters is only going to be even worse. In addition to escorting supplies, Yao Shengjun also needs to represent the independent column and report some work to the headquarters.
There is this year's work, and there are also arrangements for next year's work. In short, Yao Shengjun went to Yan'an this time, but he was afraid that he would not be able to come back until after the Chinese New Year. But for such a task, Yao Shengjun is undoubtedly very happy.
Being able to show more faces in front of the head of the headquarters is also a good thing for them as column leaders!
When the convoy arrived in Yan'an, Zhou Enlai, who was also looking forward to this batch of supplies, and the leaders who managed the logistics had gathered in front of Yan'an City. Looking at the long team of mules and horses, everyone looked very happy.
Compared with the current situation of other military regions, self-sufficiency is a little difficult, but Yulin also raised a batch of materials for the headquarters during the Chinese New Year. This is undoubtedly very happy for the headquarters, which is also in dire need of supplies.
'Comrade Shengjun, I have received a telegram from you. We've been waiting for you to come! Tell me, what did you send to the headquarters this time? I look at this big car and a big car. Looks like a lot! ’
Facing Zhou Enlai's inquiry, Yao Shengjun, who was in the dust, said with a smile: "Vice Chairman Zhou." Here's the list of supplies. The road conditions from Yulin to Yan'an are indeed too bad, so we hurried and finally rushed over.
Among these supplies were a batch of food, cotton clothes and quilts, as well as a batch of weapons and ammunition that had been handed over to the headquarters for storage. It's just that compared to the relatively few weapons, we pulled a lot of ammunition this time.
In addition, there are some local products, and a little New Year's gift to the chiefs, which is still a small ocean. Specifically, there are those things, and other materials are sent to the warehouse. I'll report back to the chiefs in detail! ”
When the group escorted the mule and horse team into the city, looking at the cart of supplies, many central leaders who had nothing to do also gathered at the material reserve warehouse. For them, these things are related to whether they can have a good year!
Seeing the grain transported from Yulin piled up in the warehouse, everyone also knew that at least there was no need to worry about food shortages during the Chinese New Year. And these cotton clothes and quilts are enough for them to have a warm New Year.
Just when handing over weapons and ammunition, looking at the million rounds of ammunition that were pulled this time. Mao Taizu was also surprised: "So many bullets? Did you seize it or buy it? I haven't heard about the headquarters, but you have a military operation! ”
'Report to Commissar Mao. These bullets were reloaded in our arsenal. Considering that early next year, our column will also conduct a large-scale military training. Therefore, this time there is only that. It's just that some of the raw materials are not available at present. ’
As soon as this remark came out. Mao Taizu's eyes widened and said, "Reloaded bullets? Your arsenal, now you have such production? ”
'Yes! If the raw materials can be supplied, it will be no problem to reload 100,000 rounds of ammunition per day. Come over this time. We also hope that the headquarters will tell the legions about it. As long as they pull the empty shells to Yulin, ten empty bullets will be exchanged for five bullets. ’
That's the case. Zhou Enlai also knew what this meant for the Red Army. Such an efficient bullet reloading. To some extent, the Red Army no longer has to worry about the consumption of bullets!
Immediately, he said, "Do you really have such a yield?" ”
'Yes! After the beginning of spring, if Member Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou are interested, they can go to Yulin to have a look. At present, our arsenal is also doing a good job of reloading bullets. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the output cannot be increased.
As for rifles, because of the lack of machinery and barrels, there are not many rifles that can be made every day. More, just some repairs to the guns. Other legions can also bring damaged weapons to us for repairs if they need them. ’
Mao Taizu, who opened a box of bullets to check it, said very seriously: "How high is the pass rate of this reloaded bullet?" ”
'A few hundredths!' At least for the time being, the arsenal will conduct random inspections of the reloading bullets produced every day. It is rare to encounter it, and there are cases where the bullet does not go off. There were many times when a hundred were drawn for inspection, and not a single shot was unqualified. ’
In this way, it undoubtedly made Mao Taizu and Zhou Enlai breathe a sigh of relief. With such a pass rate for reloading, at least when the troops are training and fighting, the bullets are guaranteed.
When the weapons and food were counted and put into storage, I looked at the large boxes with a few locks. Yao Shengjun opened the lock and said, "This is the 50,000 oceans I escorted back this time, and it is also the money we can squeeze out at present." ”
'Fifty thousand, that's good! Compared to other military divisions, you are the only one who sends money to the headquarters. With this 50,000 yuan, I, the Minister of Finance, can live a little more comfortably this year. ’
Hearing that the independent column pulled back 50,000 oceans this time, Lin Lao, as the finance minister of the headquarters, also seemed very pleased. In his opinion, this should be the first money he received from the local government after he took office!
The central government, which is poor and white, is not as good as hard currency reserves. But Lin Lao knew better that the money could not be used easily. It is very dangerous for a political party and an army to have no reserves at all.
As for what he can use now, it is undoubtedly these current oceans. But in general, the Central Red Army has gone all the way to this point, and the little possessions it has accumulated have almost been spent when it comes to forming democratic governments in various places.
If there were no new sources of finance, he, the finance minister, would have declared bankruptcy. And these 50,000 oceans can at least make the headquarters a little looser this year. If there is any emergency, it can also be dealt with in time.
With the rest of the carts of things, Yao Shengjun said with a smile: "Chiefs, this is some New Year's gifts prepared for you by our commander and political commissar, as well as all the officers and soldiers of the column. It's not expensive, but it's more practical.
How to use it, or wait until the headquarters, I will personally show you! With these things, at least the leaders don't have to worry about getting up in the middle of the night or early in the morning to burn the stove this winter. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone who watched the lively chiefs seemed very happy. Although I don't quite understand what honeycomb coal is. But when they saw the stoves, they knew that they were supposed to use them for fire.
It was not until he arrived at the headquarters in Yangjialing that Yao Shengjun personally demonstrated the use of honeycomb coal stoves. Many family members of the army immediately said with a happy face: "Wow, this briquette burns so easily?" This fire looks very strong! ”
Yes, it's easy to burn in this stove, just find something to start a fire and burn it for a while, put the briquettes on it and it will soon be on fire." If it is replaced, it is also very checked, and the burned ones below are picked out.
If you don't use it for the time being, you can also seal the stove and burn slower. As long as there is a fire in the stove when you sleep, you can continue to use it by replacing it with new briquettes the next morning, and you don't even need to restart the fire.
The stove that was brought to the chiefs this time can be used to boil water and rice. If the coal stove burns vigorously, the temperature is higher than that of the wood stove. So, this time, we can't get any valuable New Year's goods, so we will send something practical. ’
After listening to Yao Shengjun's introduction, several chiefs who like to make tea immediately smiled and said: "This thing is good, if you want to drink hot water to make tea in the future, just put the kettle on the stove." It's really convenient! Who came up with this thing? ”
'Report to the chief, our commander remembered it. These things are currently being made by the disabled soldiers of the military reclamation farm. What the commander meant was to find something to do for the disabled soldiers.
In addition, when the production increases, it can also be used for sale. This can be regarded as a groping for us to open up sources and reduce expenditures. And this thing is not expensive, the price of ten briquettes is not worth a load of firewood.
If sales increase, I believe that this income can not only support the expenses of those disabled veterans, but also provide blood to the troops. I will make a specific report to the central government in writing later. ’
In addition to the stove for these chiefs, Yao Shengjun took another wool shawl and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, these are also a batch of wool shawls newly produced by our column woolen mill. Because the production is not much, only these can be prepared.
As for these shoulders, they are given to the chiefs. With this shoulder, I believe that when the leaders work outdoors, they can also keep out the cold. This winter in northern Shaanxi is actually similar to that of Yulin. ”
Hearing that the independent column had even taken these chiefs' wives into account, the chiefs were naturally very happy. Even if they don't lack anything to protect them from the cold now. But this kind of wool shawl and shoulder, if you have to spend money to buy, it's really not cheap!
In short, the materials and New Year's goods sent by the independent column made the leaders of the headquarters very satisfied. In their opinion, if there were a few more such independent columns, their days would not have to be so tight.
Looking at the smiling faces of these headquarters leaders, Yao Shengjun, who came on behalf of the independent column, also felt very happy. Isn't the careful preparation of these New Year's goods just to let the headquarters have a good year and leave a good impression on the independent column?
At the moment, these things are not too valuable things for the independent column. But the practicality still makes these chiefs feel very satisfied. I also feel that it is equally rare for an independent column to be able to use its brains under the existing conditions.
Compared with other places, more questions are asked about blood transfusions at the headquarters. The Yulin border area, which has finally stabilized, has undoubtedly done better in this regard. This invisibly also adds a lot of points to the party committee team of the independent column in front of the head of the headquarters!
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
