*****************

That night, Wu Ming, Lu Kuiyuan and others moved out of the courtyard of the commander Fang Youchun and went directly to the large barracks vacated by the guard company to eat and live with the recruits.

One hundred and fifty recruits were shocked at first, and then moved, no one doubted Wu Ming's words "From today on, we are brothers", many people quietly took out the rubber-soled cloth shoes that had just been issued in the afternoon but were reluctant to put on, looked and looked, took out a set of military uniforms and shirts that were more than other companies and touched them, only felt that everything today was so incredible, and everything that happened made them unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

In the next few days, Wu Ming followed his own training plan, advancing step by step in an orderly manner, and every morning he ran in front of the brothers of the whole company, and one run was ten laps, unequivocally, the other battalions and companies had been closed, but his company continued to start an hour of queue training.

Since he had not yet received the weapon, Wu Minglian carried out all his training with his bare hands, and every day he took a short break after breakfast, that is, he continued the three-hour queue training, and in the afternoon, he stood in a military posture at the entrance of the barracks.

In the evening, all the recruits had to take a bath, and after finishing their studies in the large barracks, Wu Ming usually read the newspaper to introduce everyone to the current grim situation in the country, and at the same time carried his private goods, tirelessly instilling a patriotic spirit and an anti-Japanese stance.

After an hour of reading newspapers and instructions, it was time for cultural study, and according to Wu Ming's mandatory and specific punishment requirements, the recruits had to learn ten words every day, and the seven recruits who had attended the village private school with some cultural foundation were given priority to be promoted, and were appointed by Wu Ming as the acting squad leader to help all the brothers learn to read and write.

A week passed, and the turmoil over the selection of soldiers in the playground gradually subsided, and Wu Ming learned that the Ma army camp in the north of the city had been vacated, and the only small courtyard house and two rows of barracks that could be used were also roughly repaired, so he announced the order to move the next day while studying at night.

The officers and men of the guard company, who were very nervous in the barracks, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Ming's maverick and strict training brought heavy mental pressure to all the officers and men, and it was seen that more than 100 recruits had shown a neat queue and mental outlook that were not inferior to those of the officers and men of the guard company after only one week of Wu Ming's training, and those who had been skeptical and wantonly slandered behind their backs also closed their mouths with interest.

"Staff Officer Wu, summoned by the commander!"

Fang Youchun's bodyguard, Fan Maolin, suddenly appeared at the door of the barracks.

Wu Ming instructed Zhang Dongning and Lu Kuiyuan to re-register the details of each recruit, and then went to Fang Youchun's residence with Fan Maolin.

After walking dozens of steps, Fan Maolin said with a smile that he was about to join the headquarters teaching team.

Wu Ming was quite surprised, he knew that this man from Longyou was a good man, only twenty-four years old but had eight years of military experience, and he had the rank of lieutenant like himself, and it was not easy to join the teaching team that Ma Zhizhai personally grasped at this time.

Came to Fang Youchun's main hall, Sister-in-law Fang and Fang Zhichun were there, Xiao Xin stuck to Wu Ming when he saw him, Wu Ming picked up Xiao Xin and sat down under Fang Youchun, nodded to Sister-in-law Fang and Fang Zhichun, and whispered to Xiao Xin again.

Fang Youchun didn't seem to be in a good mood, and simply asked Wu Ming a few words, and then explained the reason why the weapons have not been issued so far: "At present, the guns of the recruits have not yet arrived, and there is a lot of ammunition in the munitions warehouse, but there is a shortage of weapons, and there are only more than 500 Japanese-made Type 38 rifles that need to be repaired, and the two Makqin heavy machine guns are also broken, so your teaching team has to wait a week before the equipment can be issued." ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Big brother, what standard of weapons has the province allocated to us?" ”

"The phone said that the rifle is a Japanese-made 38 rifle, I estimate that it is a stock left over from previous years, and there are 12 Czech machine guns and 100 shell guns imitated by the Shanghai factory, and there is no shadow of the heavy machine guns and mortars we need, let alone the extravagant hope for a new radio station, but the new military uniform has been issued with an additional 8,000 sets." Fang Youchun sighed helplessly.

Wu Ming didn't expect the situation of the headquarters to be so bad: "How can you do this?" You can't just say one thing and do another, right? ”

Fang Youchun snorted: "What else?" The deputy director of the Provincial Security Department, Cheng was anxious when he heard my question, and simply said that he had the ability to let us figure out our own way, as long as we had money, he would issue an approval document for us to purchase the equipment we needed, but if I had money, I also whispered to ask my grandfather to tell my grandmother what to do? Alas, in comparison, we are quite good in western Zhejiang, and the security forces of several other prefectures have not even issued new military uniforms! ”

Wu Ming was silent, and when he saw that Sister-in-law Fang was going to take the child into the inner room, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to stay: "Sister-in-law, don't leave first, there will be something to discuss later." Big brother, do you think this is good, since the security department promised to issue an approval, tomorrow you will send Brother Gu to Hangzhou, bring the approval back, I will let Zhang Dongning go back to Maoliangwu, first borrow tens of thousands of yuan for emergency, Mao Liangwu's brothers also plan to do something business in Quzhou, let them come and do it together. ”

Fang Youchun acquiesced, he knew that those people in Mao Liangwu were bandits, so he was not much surprised that Wu Ming borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from them, anyway, he also borrowed money from the money bank and bank in Quzhou today, Wu Ming can borrow tens of thousands more It is not a big deal, it is all for official business, not into his own pocket, and his heart is open.

But Sister-in-law Fang couldn't hold her breath: "Little brother, tell me if you have something." ”

Wu Ming nodded: "A few days ago, I went out to buy shoes, underwear and socks for the recruits, and found the shop of the old Zhong family on Shuiting Street according to Brother Ma's instructions, the sister-in-law of the old Zhong family was very enthusiastic, not only helped me buy all the things, but also a lot cheaper than the market price, before leaving, she specially entrusted me to say hello to you and the eldest brother." ”

Sister-in-law Fang suddenly sighed: "When I knew her, it was still when Lao Zhong was blown off and carried off the battlefield for a while, and then she often walked there, after your eldest brother was in trouble, she and Lao Zhong sent a hundred oceans, and said a lot of reassuring words to me, alas! If I hadn't just settled in, I would have visited her...... There are more than a dozen people in her family, and they rely on the old clock to run the boat and open the shop with her to live, and the life is tight. ”

Wu Ming asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, don't you have a beautiful hand of needlework?" I discussed it with Brother Gu, and thought of buying dozens of sewing machines in Shanghai and coming back to set up a quilt factory, and put them in the camp in the north of the city that was about to start...... I don't have time to take care of these things, how about leaving it to your sister-in-law and Sister-in-law Zhong? ”

Sister-in-law Fang's eyes widened, obviously moved, but after seeing her husband's ugly face, she had no choice but to excuse herself: "How can this work?" I've never done such a big thing, and the child is still young, but the one from the old Zhong family is quite capable, and his personality is also pungent, and he has been doing business in a shop for many years, so it's probably no problem for her to do it. ”

"How is it okay? Military uniforms are all produced at designated points, and the province is willing to let you produce military supplies yourself? Besides, who doesn't know that the procurement of military supplies is a big fat meat? Who doesn't know the unsavory stuff in the procurement of munitions? If you want to run your own quilt factory to produce military supplies, it is absolutely impossible to do it without the approval documents issued by those big men in the province, I advise you not to fight this idea. Fang Youchun unceremoniously objected.

Wu Ming knew that the situation would be like this: "It's okay, I don't only have one way to produce munitions in this quilt factory, the civilian market is big, you have never seen many convenient and beautiful clothes styles at real prices, and in addition to ordinary sewing machines, you will also buy a batch of industrial sewing machines that can process leather and thick canvas, there are many things that can be done, why hang yourself on the tree of munitions trading?" Big brother, you don't understand this, don't worry about it, if you're worried that your sister-in-law won't be able to keep people if she shows up, then say something else. ”

Sister-in-law Fang couldn't help but laugh and scold, Fang Zhichun and the two orderlies on the side couldn't help laughing, Fang Youchun couldn't help but laugh and scolded "", and it didn't matter if he thought about it.

"I'm going to the quilt factory too!" Fang Zhichun suddenly shouted loudly.

Wu Ming was in a dilemma: "Didn't you contact the girls' school to teach?" ”

"I've changed my mind, I can use a sewing machine, I can make handmade cheongsam, and if I can't do it, I will still count and keep accounts, how about it? Meets your criteria, right? ”

Fang Zhichun glared at Wu Ming fiercely, and it seemed that he would not give up if he did not achieve his goal.

Wu Ming saw that Fang Youchun and his wife had no objection, and the quilt factory really needed trustworthy people to control the financial power, so he readily agreed, and Miss Fang immediately smiled happily.

Fang Youchun asked about the things that Wu Ming and Zhong Changqing discussed: "Have you met Changqing's cousin?" ”

"No, Lao Zhong will come back tomorrow, I heard that their ship will be left in the Hangzhou shipyard for maintenance, and it will have to be repainted, and this time it will be able to rest for ten days." Wu Ming replied.

"Do you really want to buy the Zhong family's hardware factory? Where did so much money come from? Fang Youchun asked again.

Wu Ming could only continue to fool: "It's not an acquisition, it's a joint venture, at most, you can invest 30,000 yuan, and you can get half of the shares...... I already have a lot of ideas, it is estimated that the hardware factory can turn losses into profits within half a year, but these are not important, the important thing is that there are dozens of experienced technical workers inside, as well as the students of Quzhou Industrial College who plan to be recalled for two years, I plan to select a group of people from them to enter our repair shop, starting with repairing those damaged weapons in the munitions warehouse, I signed the military order! ”

Fang Youchun nodded understandingly: "It's not easy to do something these days!" ”

Wu Ming smiled: "No matter how difficult things are, you have to do it hard, right?" Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the most difficult first step, I believe that the road ahead will be easy to walk, and I am very confident in this. ”

Fang Youchun nodded: "Since it is handed over to you, you have to worry more, the day after tomorrow, someone from the Belgian Foreign Bank will come, that one is called Franky." After receiving my letter, Esther's manager called back and said that he was going to visit me in Quzhou in person, and brought a technician to repair those machine tools, and you came to my office at noon the day after tomorrow to meet him with me. ”

"Understood."

Wu Ming got up to say goodbye, and after leaving, he kept thinking that this might be an opportunity, if he could establish contact with European and American arms dealers in China from this Ai Youde, it would be of great help to him, even if he couldn't, at least he could buy a batch of advanced processing machine tools and wood processing equipment from Ai Youde.
