The fleet resumed sailing, sailed west for about ten minutes after leaving the south wharf of Zhaoxian Town, and then turned into Fangcun Creek from Changshan River, and sailed into the mouth of the stream half an hour later, the water flow suddenly became turbulent, and the terrain on both sides of the bank was also dangerous.

"Changshan is located in the hinterland of western Zhejiang, hundreds of kilometers from the coastline, is it necessary to build such a tight system of fortifications? Isn't it too wasteful......" Chen Gongshu, head of the headquarters of the Secret Service who boarded the boat at the wharf in Zhaoxian Town, pointed to the bunkers on both sides of the strait and asked puzzledly.

Wu Ming was deeply wary of this handsome-looking, moderately built, well-mannered person, who looked like a weak scholar.

Chen Gongshu has always been low-key, and he is rarely mentioned in various relevant publications in later generations, so it stands to reason that Wu Ming should not know much about him, but who made Wu Ming now concurrently serve as the section chief of the Party Affairs Investigation Department? In the past few years, Wu Ming has inadvertently completed the infiltration of various action groups and departments of the Investigation Department by sending qualified military personnel and training on his behalf, and he can understand many top-secret information.

For example, this Chen Gongshu is not well-known, but he is an extremely dangerous killer, he has presided over the assassination of Zhang Jingyao, Ji Hongchang and others, this time Dai Li actually transferred this cheetah hidden in the dark to western Zhejiang, and he didn't know anything about the intelligence system of the new Second Division, or Dai Li took the initiative to introduce his true identity, which made Wu Ming's heart rise a huge sense of crisis.

"If the Japanese army insists on attacking the west, it is not safe to go west"

Wu Ming patiently explained to the killer brother: "From Xiaoshan to Quzhou, if you take the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway line, it is only two or three hundred kilometers, and the terrain along the way is not dangerous. ”

"Unless we gather several times the enemy's forces and defend them to the death along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, it should only be a matter of time before Zhuji, Yiwu, Jinhua, and Quzhou fall. Instead of rushing around and plugging leaks everywhere, it's better to take precautions now and leave yourself a way out."

"With these fortifications, even if the Japanese army mobilizes ten times our troops, it will not want to enter Maoliangwu, and we can fully rely on this vast mountain, break it into pieces, attack the rear of the Japanese army at any time, accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally drag the Japanese invaders to death in the land of western Zhejiang."

Dai Li looked at the endless fortifications on both sides of the strait, shook his head and said, "Having said that, it is still too exaggerated...... These fortresses and fortifications cost you a lot of money, right? ”

"Of course"

Wu Ming nodded heavily: "The expenditure on materials such as reinforced concrete alone is not less than one million, which is not considered artificial, but relative to the protective role played, I think this money is completely worth it, presumably Brother Yu Nong also knows that I have not read many books, let alone attended a regular military school, and my mind is full of the idea of being rich and safe, and I don't want to expose my nest to danger no matter what...... With these fortifications to protect me, I can fight with peace of mind in front of me without worrying about problems at home. ”

Dai Li looked at the endless bunkers along Fangcun Creek, as well as all kinds of light and dark fortifications of unknown use, and said in his heart that in addition to the difficulty of the Japanese to attack them, if Wu Ming and the central government turned their faces, the national army that came to encircle and suppress them might not be able to do anything with these forts and fortifications, right?

Dai Li even speculated maliciously whether Wu Ming had deliberately run his own independent small kingdom since he started?

At this time, Wei Daming, chief of the telecommunications section of the secret service, came to the foredeck of the gunboat with a telegram and handed Dai Li an urgent telegram, and Dai Li, after reading it, signed his name and handed it back to Wei Daming. Wei Daming put the telegram into the file bag, and then carefully put it in the briefcase, and then curiously pointed to the fleet following the patrol boats and passenger ships, and asked, "Master Wu, how many materials has Mao Liangwu hoarded?" I'm afraid that there are thirty or forty tons of cargo in the back dozen or so ships alone, right? ”

"Mr. Wei has lost his eyes, to be exact, this batch of goods is more than 110 tons."

Wu Ming replied frankly: "After the diversion from the Changshan River, the more upstream of Fangcun Creek goes, the shallower the water level, and only this kind of small steamer with a load of 45 tons and a very shallow draft that we specially made from the Qianjiang Shipyard in Hangzhou can pass freely. In order to save space on the ship, we use an original 'container' technology, first customized into various large boxes with wood, and then the goods are packed into different categories and sent to the ship, which greatly saves space on the ship. The fuel we purchase is transported in steel drums, which is safe and can be recycled for other purposes. ”

"After several years of unremitting efforts, we now have enough materials to ⊥ we can sustain ourselves for two or three years under a strict lockdown from the outside world, and no matter how long it takes, it depends on whether the enemy's fence is tight, and whether we have the ability to open up new transportation and trade channels."

Dai Li, who listened carefully, waited for Wu Ming to finish speaking, and pondered a little in his heart, adding a little bit of knowledge and fear to Wu Ming and his new second division.

Judging from all aspects, Wu Ming is a very dangerous person, very capable, good at management and leading troops to fight, and runs western Zhejiang like an iron bucket. Once he leads his troops to rebel, it will be a huge threat to the entire Zhejiang-Jiangxi border area and even to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces.

In this case, Dai Li had to weigh it carefully, whether there was no need to collect evidence of Wu Ming's crime. It's okay to say that there is no evidence, everything is as usual, but if you find it, it is a big crime to conceal it and not report it, and if you report it, you will have no good fruit to eat, which is really a headache

Three days later, in the evening, Maoliangwu, the officer quarter.

Wu Ming had dinner with his family, teased his children for a while, and when he returned to the room and listened to Wang Yuehan say that he had it in his stomach again, he couldn't help but laugh happily, and said that he was accurate in marksmanship, and he didn't miss every time, which provoked Fang Zhichunjiao, who came to check the situation, to get angry, and pinched a few handfuls on Wu Ming's waist and arm one after another to relieve his anger.

After coaxing the two wives, Wu Ming saw that the time was already eight o'clock in the evening, so he came to the study proudly and turned on the radio to listen to the radio news of the Central News Agency.

After listening for only a few minutes, Zhang Dongning and Ye Zhuhan came together.

Wu Ming got up and turned off the radio, made tea for the two of them, and after sitting down, asked, "Dai Yunong, are there any movements on them?" ”

Intelligence chief Ye Zhuhan said: "In the past few days, the people of the secret service have explored Maoliangwu Town, the nine strategic warehouses we have opened, and the two fluorite mines that have been mortgaged to the bank, and they are obviously surprised by our strict and meticulous management and the regulation and institutionalization of the mining area, and the working and living environment of the workers and the good treatment they have received have had a great impact on them. ”

"The visit to the newly developed Kumaling fluorite mining area of the Chamber of Commerce is more detailed, the construction progress of the new mining area greatly exceeded their expectations, in the conversation with more than 10 fund-raising representatives who are resident in Maoliangwu, almost all the representatives are satisfied with the progress of the construction of the mining area, because every expenditure is all used in the bright place, they have no way to use this matter to attack us"

"It's not that simple"

Zhang Dongning shook his head solemnly: "In the afternoon, Dai Li came to the Phoenix Mountain base and asked our new second division to come forward to cooperate, interview the person in charge of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, and thoroughly check the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce... During this time, the big boss and the master did not like them at all, and the chamber of commerce and the militia were all doing their own thing, Dai Li was very dissatisfied with this, and threatened to complain to the Military Committee and Chairman Jiang. ”

"Normal"

Wu Ming smiled faintly: "He's in a hurry, he wants to open the situation as soon as possible, even if he gets a little pain in our feet, it's good to be able to go back to make a difference...... In fact, these reactions were already expected by me, Dai Li's coming here is to turn fate, if he goes back empty-handed, how can he explain to Chairman Jiang? ”

"However, we really can't give him money, and the funds raised from this fundraising must be used to buy production materials, machine tools and production lines, fuel, fertilizers and other materials, because in the next few years, with the Japanese invasion of our coastal areas and the fall, we will face unprecedented challenges."

"If I give him the money now, who will help us solve the practical difficulties then?"

"Ahh

Zhang Dongning let out a long sigh and asked, "So, according to the plan, the next step is that the division commander will take Dai Li to see our arsenal?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Of course, if you don't expose some hole cards for Dai Li, I'm afraid it won't work, tens of millions of funds, you must let people understand where to use it to rest assured, Dai Li is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, these days he has also seen the real strength of our new second division, really want to force us back, he won't have a good time, now we need to give him a step." ”

"Okay"

Zhang Dongning nodded: "I know what to do, right, tomorrow afternoon, the more than 500 members of the Youth Gang sent by Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrongxuan for military training will arrive in Quzhou, do you want to greet the eldest brother to show respect?" In addition to 5,000 Mauser rifles, there are also more than 2,000 new submachine guns, which are said to be made in Finland.

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, Huo Ran stood up and asked eagerly:

"Finnish-made submachine guns? Could it be the Suomi Type 193L submachine gun? A military magazine published in Germany called this the best submachine gun at the moment, with high accuracy, due to the use of sniper rifle technology, long range, portability and reliability to achieve a perfect combination, it can be said that it is the weapon of choice for elite troops......"

"However, looking at the introduction, the cost of this submachine gun is very high, the process is also very complicated, and it is not suitable for mass production, if we can get 2,000 units, the increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops will be quite amazing"
