The next morning, Zhang Dongning and Dai Ziran came to the house together, and Wu Ming welcomed the two to the reception room in the back of the mountain.

"Did you say anything when you left?"

Wu Ming asked straight to the point. Yesterday, Fang Zhibin watched aside, and many things were not easy to explain, so Wu Ming didn't ask until today.

Dai Ziran and Tian Zhenggang had a good personal relationship, and said gloomily at the moment: "Zhenggang felt very sudden and surprised by the order, he originally wanted to wait for the eldest brother to come back and ask clearly, but later after receiving a telegram that the eldest brother was going to expand the scale of the militia in eastern Jiangxi to deal with the war, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Shangrao to take charge of this matter." ”

"This move can be regarded as an explanation to Liu Rulin, who is about to go to Jiangxi to take up his post, and secondly, we can also select elite soldiers and strong generals in advance, so that they can receive strict training as soon as possible, so that they can be directly incorporated into our new second division system in the future, and third, we are just preparing for him to become the chief of staff of the Jiangxi army."

"Just as the eldest brother said in a phone call during his stay in Shanghai, once Jiangsu and Zhejiang fall in the future, Jiangxi along the Yangtze River will inevitably become a new theater of war, and the central government will definitely set up security forces in Jiangxi Province on a large scale......

"Just ripe"

Wu Ming nodded, and praised sincerely: "Actually, I am reluctant to be Zhenggang, this time it was Liu Rulin who personally begged me, and the whereabouts are also very clear, I have to make this extremely difficult decision on behalf of Zhenggang According to the current situation, in less than a year, Jiangxi will definitely fight a big battle, and the importance of the local security forces will be highlighted at that time, I am afraid that Zhenggang, who is the chief of staff of the Jiangxi army, is about to take the position of general in one step, this kind of opportunity can be met but not sought, and cannot be missed."

Speaking of this, Wu Ming got up and opened the curtain on one side of the wall, revealing a large map of Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and Fujian made by the New Second Division, picked up the baton, and pointed to the corner of the map:

"Jiangxi's geographical location is very critical, it is a bridge connecting the east and west of the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Jiangxi and western Zhejiang are closely linked together, once the east coast of Zhejiang falls, we can only rely on Jiangxi, if Jiangxi also has problems, we will fall into serious isolation, Quzhou and Changshan fall is only a matter of time

"If the Jiangxi army can have a provincial security chief and chief of staff who cooperate closely with us, it will undoubtedly be a huge opportunity for our new second division to promote and develop and grow, and it is precisely because of this that I have to endure the pain and cut my love, and I just went to Jiangxi, and Luo Changling, the former commander of the artillery battalion, temporarily assumed the post of head of the independent regiment under the division."

In his previous life, Wu Ming only had a certain understanding of several major battles in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, such as Songhu, Nanjing, Xuzhou, Lanfeng, Wuhan, and Changsha, but he was not very familiar with the local battlefield situation in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and he did not know when the eastern part of Jiangxi and western Zhejiang fell.

The previous arrangements were all made by Wu Ming in order to avoid being taken by the Japanese all at once.

"But leaving the main force to take up a local post will be a big blow to Zhenggang," Dai Ziran sighed

Wu Ming thought for a while and asked, "Is Zhenggang still in Shangrao now?" ”

"Yes"

Dai Ziran nodded: "When he left, he transferred a platoon from the infantry company and engineer company of the independent regiment of the division, and invited twelve instructors from the Phoenix Mountain base.

"However, this situation is estimated to not last long, yesterday Director Liu Rulin has been accompanied by the military committee and the Ministry of Military Affairs, by train from Hangzhou to Nanchang, it is said that during the train stay in Shangrao, Director Liu specially met with Zhenggang, must have explained a lot of things, maybe ......"

"It doesn't matter"

Wu Ming waved his hand, interrupted Dai Ziran's words, and said: "It's nothing, I asked Liu Rulin to meet Zhenggang when he went to Shangrao, and then they will be together to build a team, they must be coordinated first, and there is also a major event that needs to be completed by the two of them......"

Speaking of this, Wu Ming looked at Zhang Dongning: "Dongning, how are those Jews doing?"

Zhang Dongning's face was excited: "I was about to report this matter, because our 'European and American geological expert group' is very large, when we got off the train at Quzhou Railway Station, it aroused the curiosity of many people, and our reception and liaison staff deliberately vaguely said, which quickly attracted the attention of local newspaper reporters in Quzhou." Since it was late on the day of arrival, we arranged for these quality experts to stay in the time-honored hotel opposite the administrative office, and after a night, everyone in Quzhou knew that a group of blond and blue-eyed foreigners had arrived. ”

"The next day, as we invited reporters from Shanghai and Hangzhou to be in place, the European and American geological experts boarded the ship at Quzhou North Wharf and went to the Kumaling area west of Maoliangwu with great fanfare. After half a day of discussion, the members of the expert group immediately held a special seminar according to the plan, and finally reached a unanimous conclusion that this is a large-scale mineral deposit with resources of tens of millions of tons, and then our propaganda department told the reporter who followed the interview about this exciting news. ”

Wu Ming happily asked, "What was the reaction of those reporters?" ”

"At that time, I was still in the Phoenix Mountain Martyrs Cemetery, and I also rushed to Kumaling after the afternoon meeting to listen to the introduction of Chen Guangde, deputy commander of the engineer battalion...... At first, most reporters wondered if it was a hoax, otherwise how could it have been so coincidental to find the vein? It is important to know that the investment in prospecting is large, the geological situation is complex, if the geological aquifer is dug up, it may even cause a murder, and it is unheard of to find the vein so easily as now. ”

"As a result, we sent to assist in the survey of the sappers, in the excavated cave, on the spot with a steel pry to excavate a large piece of fluorite ore, the reporters did it themselves, did not spend much effort but also harvested a lot, caused a huge shock on the spot, with the reporters' news reports have been spread back to the agency, I believe that the media in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai will report the news on a large scale in the next few days, and then we can sit and wait for someone to send money to the door."

Although Dai Ziran knew some of Wu Ming's plans to make a fortune, it was not comprehensive, and he smiled when he heard it at this time: "I said that the chief of staff came back to be mysterious, and I couldn't invite you to drink at home at night after the meeting was dismissed yesterday, so it turned out that I went here...... Well, with the fish on the hook, we won't have to worry about running out of money for at least a long time to come."

Wu Ming was always calm, shook his head and said: "Things are not as easy as imagined, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng have played this set of fund-raising tricks in Shanghai, if the operation is not good, I am afraid that the chickens and eggs will be empty, we have to continue to add materials, so that the incident continues to heat up."

"What are we going to do next?" Zhang Dongning asked.

"It's time for the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Shangrao Chamber of Commerce to move...... Let the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce come forward and tell the reporter that since this super fluorite mine is stored in Quzhou, then it should be invested and built by the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce, and in the past three years, my brother-in-law has developed Quzhou into a prosperous industry, and it is not a problem for Quzhou's industrial and commercial circles to come up with millions of investment funds

Wu Ming's words deeply inspired Dai Ziran, and took the initiative to take over Wu Ming's topic: "When the time comes, we will let the Shangrao Chamber of Commerce come forward and reprimand this is a typical local protectionism, who should invest more in the construction, and fight in the newspaper with great fanfare, it is estimated that those people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium will be tempted, and it will naturally be stirred up when the time comes."

"That's right"

Wu Ming nodded: "This is the situation, such a large mineral deposit, as long as the speculation is done properly, it is absolutely no problem to raise funds of 128 million oceans, and then we will mortgage the shares in our hands to the bank and take him a loan of 35 million, as long as the war is together, who will pay attention to this mineral deposit?" At that time, all this money will be used as military expenses for our new second division, which will be used to purchase arms, develop weapons and equipment, build fortresses and fortifications, and fight the Japanese."

Zhang Dongning and Dai Ziran were both amazed by Wu Ming's interlocking design, and discussed some detailed issues before the matter was completely resolved.

Subsequently, Wu Ming asked Dai Ziran how he had prepared to find a plant suitable for the local method of producing penicillin and a container containing nutrient solution.

Dai Ziran said that the plant will be located in the hollowed out mountain belly at the southern foot of Qipan Mountain, five kilometers southwest of Maoliangwu, and is only more than 200 meters away from the Maoliangwu Hydropower Station, which is also in the belly of the mountain.

If there is no problem with the penicillin preparation method provided by Wu Ming, I believe that the first batch of penicillin will be manufactured in half a month at most.

Wu Ming was very satisfied with what he heard, these things were the most important things at present, Zhang Dongning and Dai Ziran handled them very well, which greatly reduced the pressure on his work.

With a "squeak", Sun Chengyuan pushed open the door and walked in, holding a telegram in his hand.

Wu Ming took it suspiciously, and the signature at the end of the telegram was Chen Cheng, and he hurriedly read it carefully, and after reading it, he couldn't cry or laugh: "Chairman Jiang has always been thinking about us in his heart, and he even asked our new Second Division to send someone to be responsible for building the Zhajia Line, and now the training of the troops will inevitably be affected."

Zhang Dongning took the telegram and read it, it turned out that it was sent by Chen Cheng in his private name, and it is estimated that the official notice will have to wait for the Military Committee and the Ministry of Military Affairs to jointly issue it.

"If we act in accordance with the orders of the Military Committee and the Ministry of Military Affairs, the military skills contest and live-ammunition confrontation exercise of the whole division in June will not be held as scheduled, and we will lose the most precious training opportunity before the outbreak of war, and we must take a long-term view." Dai Ziran was a little anxious.

Zhang Dongning pondered for a while, and suggested: "I don't think it's as good as this, the first brigade and the second brigade will not be transferred for the time being, and now the supplementary brigade has been expanded many times and has five new regiments under its jurisdiction, we can completely select one regiment from them to continue to stay at the Phoenix Mountain base for training, and the remaining four regiments can go to eastern Zhejiang in the name of the first brigade and the second brigade, and build the Zhajia defense fortifications while training."

"In order to strengthen the strength of the civil engineering fortifications of the four supplementary regiments, we can appropriately transfer engineers from the engineer companies directly under the first brigade and the second brigade, and then select personnel from the infrastructure company of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, and expand the engineer battalion directly under the division into a regiment in one go, and the engineer battalion will have three battalions under the jurisdiction of the engineer regiment, and we will leave one engineer battalion, and the other two engineer battalions will be transferred to eastern Zhejiang to assist the four regiments of the supplementary brigade in carrying out civil engineering operations."

"It's the best of ......"

Dai Ziran's eyes lit up and applauded loudly: "After this operation, all aspects will not be affected too much." In addition, since we are responsible for rebuilding the defense fortifications of Chajia, we will not be able to allocate funds, right? Maybe we can make a windfall."

"Dongning's suggestion is very good, but we must not reach out for the money allocated from above"

Wu Ming's expression was solemn: "Once you take over the construction of Zhajia national defense fortifications, all accounts must be made public, every purchase and expenditure must be implemented, and every cent and every centimeter must be used for the construction of national defense fortifications. ”

"Besides, in the future, let's not necessarily rely on this line of defense to defend against the Japanese, if we cheat, won't we hurt ourselves?"

"If you can stay in eastern Zhejiang to fight, it will be great."

Zhang Dongning, who had seen the fortifications and fortresses carefully constructed by the Japanese in the Hongkou and Yangshupu areas of Shanghai, knew how difficult it would be to attack the eastern area of the Shanghai Public Concession, which was entrenched by the Japanese army, under the threat of the Japanese navy's naval artillery, and said with emotion at the moment:

"The Shanghai operation was completely filled with flesh and blood, no matter how brave the individual was, no matter how elite the troops were, they could not withstand the consumption of the copper wall. It's best that our new second division can stay on the Zhajia line, with national defense fortifications to rely on, and we are not afraid of any army."

"One red heart, two kinds of preparations, this time I will let the Ordnance Institute study a few secret weapons suitable for urban combat, and the enemy's fortress may not be as difficult to conquer as imagined"

Wu Ming looked at his watch when he said this, and then stood up: "Okay, let's do it today, you have to hurry up at work, I will go to Shangrao first, I want to see Zhenggang and say sorry to him in person, otherwise this matter will always be in my heart and will never be able to let go." ”
