Of course, the only one who can say such a thing is Xiao Lang - Xie Xi looked back at this stubborn companion in a wheelchair, smiled and shook his head:

"It's still the same sentence, Lao Xiao, it's too far away from Hainan Island, and the supply line can't keep up!"

-- Arguments like this have happened countless times in the past month, since Xiao Lang has always been unwilling to give up, Xie Xi does not mind arguing with him, anyway, according to Old Jack's doctor's advice: let Xiao Lang talk more, it will be good for the recovery of his abdominal muscles, and the right is to help him do rehabilitation training.

Insight Xi took out the old supply line again as a reason, and Xiao Lang pouted disdainfully:

"It's okay to coax others with what you say, but it's too fake to tell me - the Weihaiwei base has basically taken shape, and all the supplies are being transported from there. It only takes one day to get from Weihai to this side of the sea route, what is the distance? ”

"But Weihaiwei itself doesn't produce grain, and everything that comes from there still has to be sent all the way from Hainan Island."

Xiao Lang didn't respond to the theory of dismissal, but took out a pack of cigarettes from a small cloth pocket hanging from the handle of the wheelchair, took out one from it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and looked at the seat defiantly, his face was full of contempt.

Xie Xi was stunned for a moment, and shrugged helplessly:

"Well, I'll admit it - both tobacco and cigarettes are made in Shandong. But it was only a cash crop, mainly used to make money on the mainland, and the Weihaiwei base could not provide much military logistics materials. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a cheer from the other side of the children's camp, but the regular daily activities were beginning to be carried out there, and I saw several instructors in Joan's naval uniforms pushing small carts full of baskets of steaming boiled eggs. The children lined up to take the eggs from the instructors in turn, some of them peeled and eaten on the spot, but many of them carefully hid them in their pockets and prepared to take them back to their families.

Seeing this scene, Xie Xie's face couldn't help but show a little smug - let the children be sure to receive eggs from the hands of the people wearing the uniforms of the Qiong Navy, which was his special request, in Xie Xie's view, this is just like Yuan Shikai instilled the concept of loyalty to himself in the officers and soldiers through the payment of military salaries when he was training at the small station, and he also wanted to let these children establish a good impression of the Qiong Navy from an early age, and naturally become the iron core of their Qionghai Town in the future.

But just as he was complacent, he heard Xiao Lang sneer, raised his hand and took out an egg from the cloth pocket, unhurriedly knocked it on the handle of the wheelchair, and ate it in a few bites, only then did he sneer:

"Poor Nanhai has worked hard to raise chickens and pigs in Shandong, and has been sending them here day and night, and he only got a sentence of 'not much' to you...... Tsk, I'm really sorry for him. ”

Xie Xie's face was suddenly very embarrassed - of course, so many fresh eggs could not have been transported from the south, and even Lushun was able to start implementing the "one egg a day" policy promoted by Wu Nanhai, which of course showed that his chicken farm was already very prosperous. Including pig farms -- several boats were sent from Weihaiwei during the Chinese New Year, and the boats were full of slaughtered white pigs. So that night, everyone on Lushun Island, including all the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town, all had a steaming meal of braised pork.

However, it was after this big meal that it was rare to see new refugees coming from Houjin, and it seemed that it was these boats of pork that made Huang Taiji completely cut off the idea of using the population to drag down the logistics of the Qiong Navy - Wu Nanhai was in charge of the logistics work, and wanted to cut off the food of the Qiong Navy? This is no less difficult than defeating them directly on the battlefield.

was slapped in the face twice in a row, and Xie Xi finally showed a little annoyance and anger, so he simply played a scoundrel:

"We've argued about this many times, man, since no one can convince anyone, there's no need to waste any more time."

Xiao Lang was dumbfounded for a moment - what if you have the upper hand in your mouth, people won't talk to you. Turning his head, he saw Pang Yu also looking at him with a smile, knowing that this was by no means something he could convince-he had tried countless times recently, and of course he had failed countless times.

But he still wants to try:

"Pang Yu! You've put a lot of effort into it here, are you really willing to hand it all over to the Dongjiang Army? Can they do a good job? Can you continue this business? ”

Pointing to the hot children's camp, Xiao Lang hissed, Pang Yu sighed, and finally responded positively to Xiao Lang's words:

"Of course we're going to take everybody...... You're right, if you really want to stay, the logistics department can keep it going at any cost - but why should we spend so much money to keep it here? As a springboard on the mainland? We already have a Weihaiwei base. Political necessity? Tianjin is clearly more suitable. Recruiting the population? It is obviously faster and more convenient to recruit directly from the mainland than from here...... There weren't so many spies mixed in. ”

Seeing Xiao Lang's lips twitching, Pang Yu sped up a little faster, and said before he spoke:

"Compared to the Weihaiwei base, the only advantage on Lushun's side is that it is more suitable as a bridgehead when fighting Houjin - can we fight Houjin among our options in the near future? Since they don't plan to take the initiative, why is it necessary to set up a base here that is likely to be directly attacked by Houjin? Xiao Lang, you should know that the current situation in Lushunkou looks pretty good, but it comes at the cost of slowing down the development of the Weihaiwei base -- a lot of materials and supplies there have been diverted here. ”

hesitated slightly, but Pang Yu finally spread his hand:

"Maybe you have your ideas, but for the 3rd Regiment, we don't need Lushun, at least not in the near future."

As soon as these words came out, the face of the dismissal on the side changed slightly, and Xiao Lang was even more agitated, raised his hand and hated the handle of the wheelchair and slapped it:

"It's a pity that I didn't succeed in building up my own armed forces, and I still don't have as much say as you have in this regard."

Xie Xi and Pang Yu looked at each other and smiled--Xiao Lang's words were not "politically correct" enough, and if they were heard by people with ulterior motives, they might bring him some trouble. But at the moment, there are only three of them here, and some words don't need to be so cautious, anyway, everyone's political IQ is not low.

-- Xiao Lang had taken advantage of the negligence of Xie Pang and the others, and with the help of the committee, he temporarily obtained the leadership of the Third Regiment and the Weihaiwei base. But after all, the third regiment was a team created by Xie Xi Pang Yu and other "Qiongzhou Thirteen Taibao", and the essence of the big collective of the Qionghai Navy is actually composed of several such small groups and small hills. As the leader of the mechanical group, Xiao Lang could not really take control of the mountain of the Third Regiment with only a letter of order from the committee - if the committee could really do this, even Xiao Lang himself would be uneasy, because it meant that his position in the mechanical group would be deprived at any time.

Therefore, Xiao Lang's leadership of the Third Regiment and the entire Weihaiwei base can only be regarded as a temporary loan, and once he returns to Shandong, or even if Pang Yu stands up, he can only return it. Xiao Lang himself knows this very well. Therefore, his strategy from the beginning was to "borrow the chicken to lay the egg" -- to use the strength of the Third Regiment to open up the new Lushunkou base, hoping to lead the mechanical group to get rid of the limitations of only being a technical team in the large collective, and seek greater development in the military and political aspects.

The early implementation of the plan was not bad, and a big war opened up a new situation on the side of Lushunkou. It's a pity that a few hidden arrows from Houjin's spy made all his follow-up plans come to naught. The emergency medical support brought by Xie Xi and others saved his life, but they were not obliged to continue to help him in his plan to set up another mountain.

Everyone spent the whole winter on this little peninsula, and they all said what they should say to each other, and they all knew what they shouldn't say. Regarding Xiao Lang's thoughts, Xie Xi and Pang Yu had long known it. Therefore, no matter how much he talks about lotus flowers, the two of them just laugh. Even if Pang Yu has actually run Lushunkou very well out of habit, and even established economic income channels, he still has only one word for the future of this base: withdraw!

The response to dismissal was more direct:

"Hehe, man, I didn't obstruct you when you asked for the acting commander of the first battalion, and I didn't interfere when you gave orders to the entire third regiment...... We've given you a chance, and success can only be considered bad luck for you...... No, it should be said that you yourself are too impatient, and you have to rush into that battle, otherwise why not give the other assassin a chance. ”

"So you'd rather give up the good things that have been built up here in order to prevent my idea from coming true? Abandon the fruits of a battalion of bloody battles? I commanded that battle, and the soldiers who could participate were all your old subordinates, can you really bear it? ”

Xiao Lang patted the wheelchair sadly, but this time it was his turn to pout:

"Alas, brother, everyone knows the roots, what are you doing...... Sending troops to Lushun is not in line with the overall strategic policy of the big collective, okay, you have to give it a try, and we will let you try, who is to blame for the failure to function? ”

Now that it has been spread out, Pang Yu is no longer secretive, shaking his head and saying:

"If you still want to go in the direction of military politics...... Don't take shortcuts. The Navy has been vigorously building up the Marine Corps recently, and the Fourth Regiment has been scheduled to be headed by Ling Ning, and the Fifth Regiment headed by Ah Wen seems to be in the pipeline. When you go back this time, you might as well apply to the committee for the establishment of a Sixth Regiment with the Technics as the team - as long as you can convince the rest of the Technics.
