Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 201 The Prophet of Uncertainty (II)
Wu Ming saw Fang Youchun's worried face, thought about it and told him one more thing:
"Big brother, before the end of the year, I'm afraid there will be something big in the country...... Under the pressure of the Japanese invaders step by step, another cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will soon come, so I suggest that after you go back, improve the treatment of political prisoners in Quzhou Prison, pay close attention to the movements of the central party headquarters and the provincial party headquarters, but do not participate in any political struggle, even if there are documents to come down, try to delay as much as possible, and manage Zhejiang and western Zhejiang so as not to cause chaos. ”
Fang Youchun nodded worriedly: "If a full-scale war between China and Japan starts, I'm afraid the whole of Zhejiang will be devastated."
"It's not that serious, at least Mao Liangwu is still safe."
Wu Ming thought about it, and still felt that he should tell Fang Youchun: "Judging from all aspects, western Zhejiang should not fall for a while, but in order to prevent accidents, in the past two years, our engineer battalion and Maoliangwu militia have built fortifications by means of blasting and excavation on the water and land throat from Xikou to the south of Maoliangwu Town in the south of Fangcun. ”
"At the same time, our troops have quietly expanded the cordon to all major roads with Maoliangwu as the center, Fengshuling in Chun'an in the north, and Fangcun Xikou in the south.
Speaking of this, Wu Ming consciously lowered his voice: "In addition, I have asked people to blow up the mountain and fill the deep ditch in the rear of the Maoliangwu Field Hospital and the officer's family area, and then plan a relatively hidden residential area, and build more than 50 independent two-story small western-style buildings, all of which are built close to the mountain, and the pillars and walls of all rooms are poured with reinforced concrete, and nearly half of the space in the room is hidden in the mountain......
"Before the war started, the families of our officers above the regimental commander had to arrange to live in, and I also had to take the two elders and your family to live in. Don't blame me for being selfish, war is our man's business, and it has nothing to do with women and children, and people of your status like you and me, whether you want to or not, must be at the forefront of the war, how can you rest assured if you don't settle your family well? ”
Fang Youchun was very dissatisfied when he heard it: "You don't think about other innocent people? ”
Wu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "If you give me enough funds, I will immediately build air-raid shelters and houses on the east and south of the Phoenix Mountain training base and Qipan Mountain south of Maoliangwu...... If there is no money for everything, then we can only send innocent people who are willing to flee to Maoliangwu to avoid trouble, and there is no problem in terms of security."
"Big brother, the miners of Maoliangwu now not only have to mine, but also quietly blast stones and build air-raid shelters at the foot of Longji Mountain in the town, and then continue to live under the mountain north of the town, and strive to build an air defense facility that can accommodate 20,000 people to avoid bombing within the next ten months...... This is the fundamental reason why the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce has been buying a large number of steel bars in the past few months, but no longer sells cement and other building materials. ”
"It is precisely because of these big projects that the money earned by the villagers in the past few years has been spent like flowing water, and it is not easy, so I will discuss it with the brothers in the town again to see if I can build as many bamboo and wood houses as possible in front of the air defense facilities in the north of the town, and try to do it."
Fang Youchun nodded helplessly, no longer harshly criticized Wu Ming, he was very clear about the situation of the navy and air force of the Nationalist Government, knowing that once the battle started, the whole of Zhejiang would be under the bombing of the planes of the Japanese army and navy aviation, and measured by the current combat capability of the army, if the Japanese base camp insisted on opening up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, I am afraid that the Japanese army would not be able to hold it for a month, and the Japanese army would attack all the way to western Zhejiang, and it was very rare for Wu Ming to be able to do this.
The speed of the specially ordered 60-ton military patrol boat is good, and the officers and men of the water patrol are very familiar with the river channel, and it only takes two and a half hours to reach the 47-kilometer waterway from the north wharf of Zhaoxian Town to the south wharf of Maoliangwu Town.
Fang's sister-in-law and the children are still the first time to come to Maoliangwu, they feel fresh and interesting about everything, and they feel that the wharf under their feet is more flat and clean than Quzhou Wharf, there are seven or eight neat and beautiful two-story Western-style Western-style buildings in the north of the wharf, and the market and shops in front of the western-style buildings are full of people, bustling, a prosperous scene, and they are so surprised that they shout.
Wu Ming took the initiative to take the little son in the hands of the little maid and held it in his arms, and walked with Fang Youchun, who was holding a five-year-old girl, bypassing between the two hills where the fortifications were being built.
Zhang Dongning, who was full of spring breeze, walked over from the parking lot in front of him, greeted him for a while, and politely sent Wu Ming and Fang Youchun's families into three military cars.
Xiao Xin said that he wanted to squeeze into the same car as Wu Ming, and asked this and that along the way, he was extremely surprised, and it didn't take long for him to point to the town to the west and shout, asking how there were so many beautiful western-style buildings in this ravine, and the streets were so smooth and wide, even more beautiful than Quzhou City.
The car drove across the small bridge, turned to the left and drove into the woods, quickly bypassed the field hospital and entered the officer's family area, and slowly stopped in front of a row of bamboo fences full of blooming roses.
Wu Ming got out of the car with his youngest son in his arms, and ordered Zhang Dongning, who was walking quickly, to call his old father-in-law, Lu Zhengde and others to accompany him, and then bent down and called his wife who was full of surprise in the car.
Wang Yuehan, who was resting at home, heard the sound of the car, rushed out, and was stunned when she saw Wu Ming and Fang Youchun's family holding the child.
At the critical moment, Fang Zhichun showed the bearing that a virtuous wife should have, squeezed out a smile, walked step by step in front of Wang Yuehan, who was discolored, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and greet with a smile:
"Sister Yuehan, my little sister came uninvited, please bear with me, if you want to blame, you can only blame the stinky man who deceived our feelings."
Sister-in-law Fang hugged the little heir in Wu Ming's arms, stepped forward amiably to introduce herself, and then called her two children to her side and told the children to call their aunt quickly.
The obedient Xiao Xin and Xiao Nan bowed respectfully to Wang Yuehan, and greeted their aunt who they saw for the first time, which moved Wang Yuehan, who came back to her senses, to tears.
After Wang Yuehan returned the salute, she smiled apologetically at Fang Zhichun, who was half a head taller than her, stepped forward, and squatted in front of Fang Ruhua, who was almost two years old: "It's so beautiful, can Auntie hug you?" ”
Fang Ruhua, who was wearing a printed dress and had a small pink face, hurriedly hugged her mother's thigh, and after a while, she pointed to the big tree in front of her and asked, "Who is that little brother?" ”
Wang Yuehan, Fang Zhichun, Sister-in-law Fang and others hurriedly looked over, only to see that under the big tree, a handsome and lovely boy was sitting behind a small desk and looking up at Wu Ming nervously, Wu Ming lowered his head to check the small book on the table, and his voice with joy and love came clearly:
"Yes, son, you can write your own name, it's much stronger than your dad back then, but you're Wang, the word is not written well, the three points of water on the left are not bad, and the king on the right is short and two, this is not good...... Come, pick up a pencil, Daddy will teach you how to write......"
Fang Youchun, who was standing beside his wife, was surprised that such a young child could learn to read, and hurriedly asked Wang Yuehan: "This child is really smart, what is his name?" ”
"My surname is Wang, my name is Zemin, I'm very naughty, let's go in and have a glass of water together......"
