While Wu Ming and Xie Zixuan were talking, the convoy had unknowingly entered the camp north of the city. Wu Ming looked at the familiar camp gate and sighed for a while.

Xie Zixuan smiled when he saw Wu Ming's sad appearance, and opened the door and got out of the car after a few words of schadenfreude, Wu Ming had no choice but to follow, stood behind a group of chiefs, and closed his mouth tightly.

In the cold wind, Lu Zhong, who was surrounded by a group of generals, tightened his tweed coat, looked around, and suggested to Liu Rulin kindly:

"Director Liu, why don't we go to the ordnance institute first, it's not easy for us to set up this ordnance institute, we have just made some achievements and made some reputation, but in a blink of an eye, we were taken away by the central government, I am really reluctant! If you don't look at it again, I'm afraid you won't see it again. ”

Liu Rulin nodded with a smile: "There are not many ordnance institutes that can successfully imitate Browning pistols, American Colt pistols and Thomson submachine guns in the country, don't blame the Central Ordnance Industry Administration for snatching them, I also feel deeply sorry in my heart!" ”

The two of them humbly walked towards the gate of the ordnance institute, and everyone followed closely, seeing only the ordnance elder Cao Tou in a crumpled military uniform standing at the door saluting, and only a few guards were guarding the two rows of tall and spacious workshops, Lu Zhongxiu immediately sank his face: "Director Cao, what's going on?" ”

Lao Cao Tou hurriedly stepped forward and stood upright: "Report to the commander, there is no material, I have reported to the headquarters three times in a row in the past month, and there has been no response, the hired workers heard that the **** will move the entire ordnance institute, and they have all resigned one after another, the original fifty-four registered personnel are panicking, some go home and wait for the notice, and some help in the metal products factory east of the camp, to know that the commander and the commanders of the road are coming to inspect, and the subordinates will definitely notify everyone in advance, but now, this ......"

"Okay, Director Cao, you can take us on a tour." Liu Rulin came out in time to resolve the embarrassment.

Lao Cao Tou hurriedly nodded yes, and entered the workshop with a large group of chiefs, his heart was pounding with nervousness, and he was afraid that Wu Ming would be seen to be tired of the seven obsolete machine tools that Wu Ming moved from the metal factory to make up the number.

Who knew that Lu Dao, who was a layman who was purely amateur in building ordnance, saw that although the machine tool was old, it was neatly arranged and orderly, and it looked very well maintained, and the surface of the machine tool was polished and spotless, so he nodded with satisfaction, and his face looked much better.

After walking around, when he was about to leave the second workshop, Lu Zhongxiu saw that on the huge workbench of the assembly workshop on the side, there were more than a dozen incomplete Thomson submachine guns and several large boxes of gun parts, and immediately walked in here to see how to touch them, and he didn't know that these were unqualified parts and semi-finished products.

"Look, such a good processing technology, such a good steel, it's a pity, it's a pity! I hope that the Ordnance Industry Administration can remember the great sacrifices and contributions made by our military and civilians in Quzhou for the country and the nation, and don't let these machines be buried! ”

The generals immediately echoed, and Liu Rulin, who didn't know much about all this, nodded frequently, only Wu Ming secretly despised it in his heart, listening to the discussion of a group of laymen, looking at the beads of sweat oozing from Lao Cao's forehead, and suddenly felt that this scene was very funny, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

Leaving the ordnance station, a group of people walked around the camp again, and then took a car to the restaurant in the city, where Ma Zhizhai, chief of the training section of the provincial security department, who had been going through the handover procedures for the two regiments in the headquarters camp, also rushed to meet him.

During the banquet, Liu Rulin said very politely that the ordnance station that was about to be vacated was large enough, and the offices, dormitories, and warehouses were all complete, and the area of 20 acres was enough to meet the needs of the front-line headquarters for suppressing bandits, so it would not occupy other parts of the barracks.

Lu Zhongxiu, who was afraid of being robbed of half of the battalion, breathed a sigh of relief, but he was polite in his mouth, saying that he would fully cooperate and support, where do you know that this is completely a decision made by Liu Rulin after accepting Wu Ming's suggestion, the vast and well-equipped ordnance station only needs to be slightly modified, and then break the wall and open a gate to enter and exit cars and personnel, and it can be outside the entire battalion, and the strength of the two battalions stationed is more than enough, there is no need to mix with other departments, let alone look at whose face to act.

After the luncheon, Liu Rulin left Wu Ming and Xie Zixuan, plus the seven school officials he brought, to hold a working meeting together.

After Liu Rulin read out the order of the Provincial Security Department, gave the two regiments official numbers, and then solemnly issued letters of appointment to Xie Zixuan and Wu Ming.

As soon as Liu Rulin sat down, Ma Zhizhai stood up and suddenly announced a series of orders that made Wu Ming and Xie Zixuan stunned:

"After the study and decision of the headquarters, Colonel Xie Zixuan, the commander of the fourth regiment, was transferred to the commander of the first regiment of the headquarters, and all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the fourth regiment were transferred to enrich the first regiment; Lieutenant Colonel Chen Zhaoxian, the current commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment, was transferred to the post of commander of the 4th Regiment and promoted to colonel; All the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment were transferred to the 4th Regiment, and the number was 4th Regiment and 1st Battalion; The lack of soldiers in the five regiments is recruited by the regiment commander Lieutenant Colonel Wu Ming, and the required equipment is allocated by the headquarters. It is hereby ordered. ”

Xie Zixuan's face was quickly covered with a bright smile, he never dreamed that he would be able to leave the first line of the damn encirclement and suppression to enjoy happiness in Hangzhou, the provincial capital, and under the joy, an old face was full of wrinkles with a smile.

Everyone's eyes were all on Wu Ming's face, Wu Ming was full of resentment after being shocked, and he didn't dare to confront Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai in front of everyone, so he had to take a deep breath, sit down, take out a cigarette and light it, and silently think about the reasons and countermeasures.

######

In the cold rain, a convoy of four sedans and five Chevrolet two-ton trucks slowed down to cross the road bridge in the east of Changshan City, which had not yet been fully completed, and drove through the uneven Yanjiang Road and entered the headquarters of the Fifth Regiment under Zhanyi Mountain in the north of the city amid the stunned and curious onlookers of many construction workers and people.

The camp, which covers an area of more than 50 acres, is being renovated, and the convoy can only be parked on the temporary playground that has been put into use.

After Liu Rulin got out of the car, he looked at the old and simple old-fashioned barracks in front of him with great interest, and then looked at the low and dilapidated wooden houses scattered around him, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"The conditions are really bad, compared with the camp in the north of Quzhou City, it is a world of difference, no wonder Brother Wu feels uncomfortable."

Several school officers who had gathered one after another also shook their heads frequently, Wu Ming was still going through the formalities with the quartermaster at the truck parking lot, and Zhang Dongning neatly arranged for two brothers from the direct company to carefully unload the equipment on the five trucks and store them in the conference room of the regiment headquarters for the time being.

Ma Zhizhai left Quzhou in June last year, so he didn't know that Fang Youchun had allocated 100,000 oceans of construction funds to Wu Ming before he was transferred at the end of the year, and he felt very sorry for Wu Ming, so he took the opportunity to say good things for Wu Ming:

"This time, we transferred the second battalion that Brother Wu had worked hard to equip and painstakingly trained, and he was sure that he felt uncomfortable, although we sent him the equipment of the four companies to fill the gap, but it would take him at least half a year to complete the recruitment and training of soldiers, which was really difficult for him...... If you can, can you squeeze out a sum of money from this year's budget to repair the barracks for him? ”

Liu Rulin thought for a moment: "Most of the regiments directly under the government have just set up a shelf, and there are too many places to use money, and the provincial government will ensure that the Hangzhou-Jiangxi Railway is completed and opened to traffic this year, and the military expenditure given to us is 20% less than last year, so I am afraid that it will not work to revise the military budget plan again!" After I returned, I was going to make a proposal to postpone the collection and transfer of taxes at the checkpoints on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border for half a year, leaving it to the two regiments to build barracks and fortifications. ”

"This is very good, it can not only solve the difficulties of the headquarters, but also not let the provincial government criticize the gang, anyway, the provincial government has approved the implementation of self-financing of food and salaries for the four and fifth regiments stationed in the locality, plus the water checkpoint and the border checkpoint in the south that Jiangshan County has taken over, the two regiments have no worries at all, and we can also save a lot of trouble."

Ma Zhizhai agreed, others don't know the truth, he can be very clear, the seven new and received border checkpoints in western Zhejiang, four are under Wu Ming's jurisdiction, and the four checkpoints in Changshan and Kaihua collect taxes every year, all of which are about 800,000 oceans, this figure is still the result of greed for ink, and now the right to collect taxes has been handed over to Wu Ming, and it is impossible to make a fortune with Wu Ming's means.
