102. Tobacco War
Time is like water, and in the blink of an eye, the calendar has turned to 1929. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Maybe it's because the dragon lord has changed shifts, and he is more diligent on duty this year, and it has been snowing since New Year's Day, and now the entire north is frozen for thousands of miles.
"Inform the Highway Bureau to keep the highway open, and I will give them a certificate of merit at the beginning of spring."
In many places, the snow has reached more than two feet deep, and now only a few cars can be added with a simple snow shovel to clear the roads 24 hours a day, otherwise the transportation would have been cut off.
Luo Rong rubbed his hands and said:
"The snow is heavier on the foreign side, and the Soviet Union has stopped transporting our goods. Comrade Valina sent a telegram saying that we can transport the ore as we please, and we will settle the accounts in March. The winter here is really cold, if the commander hadn't asked people to repair the ground nest with the kang, I'm afraid that many people would have frozen to death and frostbite! ā
Qin Lang waved his hand, then said with a smile:
"Ship the canned food to Tianjin, and find a way to send a batch to the Hunan and Jiangxi red districts. It's going to be the New Year, and I really want to stay over there. ā
Although the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas have expanded a lot, the coast is almost blocked, after all, the passage to the outside world is now only Fumin. However, this is the place where the navy of the Republic of China is the strongest, and there are often warships patrolling on the water, so fishing boats can only be sent to transport small batches. Originally, Qin Lang wanted to copy the experience of the later generations and buy a few speedboats to break through, but the cost was too great to execute at all.
"The chairman has sent a telegram to stop the transport, only one of the first few operations was successful, the losses are too great!"
Hearing Luo Rong's Hua, Qin Lang sighed heavily, and had to pick up the conversation.
"The training of troops has now reached a critical moment, and we must overcome the difficulties of winter operations. What is the reaction of the political workers to the winter clothes issued? ā
Luo Rong says:
"There was no problem with the uniforms, and the four brigades also carried out training one after another, and after a week in the field according to the subject, no one was frostbitten. What they complained about the most was that the gun was easy to freeze, and later found out that it was the problem of the engine oil used for the gun, and they asked Fengjun to buy some Japanese production to solve it. ā
Qin Lang nodded and said:
"Find a way to do more, it may not be easy to get it in the future."
Luo Rong says:
"Commander, now that the young marshal has changed his banner, our pressure is bound to be greater, and the headquarters organs have also repeatedly asked for caution, what measures should be taken now."
Qin Lang smiled:
"It's freezing right now, it's not suitable for a war with soldiers, and some people aren't ready. At most, in March, this time the war will begin, and then the sea will be high! ā
Luo Rong says:
"The two production funds aided by the Soviet Union for free have been installed, and after Zhong Cheng and Gu Xin'an cooperated, they are now able to produce a production line with a capacity of 50,000 rounds per day. Because of the copper material, only about 10,000 rounds can be produced now. ā
Qin Lang frowned and thought for a moment.
"Let the mint temporarily stop producing copper dollars, and hand over all the copper materials to the bullet factory, and strive to produce two million rounds of new bullets by March."
Two million rounds of ammunition looks like a lot, but in fact, it is the existing troops, about three base ammunition. If you really fight with someone, I'm afraid there will be nothing after a battle.
At present, only the infantry squad of the 1st Brigade barely meets the requirements of the 28-year establishment table, that is, there is one submachine gun and two semi-automatic rifles in the three-person fire team, and one general-purpose machine gun in each squad, as for the number of mortars, only 60 mortars are equipped with more than 50 in the whole army, and the rest are almost all on paper.
"It is true that military production cannot be increased, otherwise our deficit will be even more serious. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the cigarette factory's profit of 200,000 oceans, it would have been a difficult year. ā
Hearing this, Qin Lang smiled and said:
"Feng Jun and Jin Jun have come to order, these military supplies are really appetizing, 650 yuan a box of cigarettes, let us open to 1,000 yuan, we are ashamed of this profit!"
Luo Rong said coldly:
"If these people are not eliminated, there will be no future for Huaxia. Now even the Red Zone has weak-willed people, who have received information from the Security Bureau, and the Political Department has dealt with some people. It is a time of war, and the strictest punishment has been done in accordance with the relevant disciplines. ā
秦ę says:
"We can't loosen this string, as long as we find it, we will punish it immediately. I've also heard the argument that leeks are easy to cut when they grow, which is completely conniving. The intelligence department in the Security Bureau should be separated and a Social Investigation Bureau should be established as soon as possible. All the leading cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection were dismissed from their posts, and further investigations were conducted. ā
While they were deliberating, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Report to the commander and political commissar, some people are blocked on the border of Suiyuan, claiming that when we want our tobacco to cross the border, we must give them road money, otherwise we will kill a chicken and dog."
When he heard this report, Qin Lang laughed.
"Is that the one who is there? Recently, the side has been quite honest, so I don't even know who to fight. ā
The staff officer also smiled and said:
"It's the men and horses of the Gan army, and there are more than a dozen brigades under the banner!"
When Zhang Zuolin came out of the customs, he once sent a force to Gansu Province, but with the unfavorable situation of the war, this vote became independent, plus the remnants of the original Zhilu coalition army, there was a force of 20,000. The economic situation of Gansu Province is even worse than that of Shaanxi next to it, and of course it is a needle in the seams for the sake of taxation, and now it has actually started the idea of Jicha Suihong District.
"Order the entire 1st Brigade to go out to destroy this enemy before the year, and force the Gan army to sign an alliance under the city. In the future, they will not be allowed to collect a penny of tax on the goods imported and exported by Jichasui, and if we can ensure the safety of the caravan, we can give them dividends. ā
The troops at hand now are simply not enough to control the entire Gansu. Rather than getting caught up in a law and order war, it's better to do a certain amount of control and then slowly infiltrate it. Once the time comes, Gansu will be mastered.
Luo Rong nodded.
"I agree with the commander that sooner or later the tobacco industry will become our backbone, and there really can't be any mistakes now."
Qin Lang smiled:
"Gansu is more suitable for growing flue-cured tobacco, so we use the method of subsidizing grain to encourage the people to expand the planting area. Wait until the purchase season and drive the tobacco station directly to the county. If high-quality tobacco seedlings are successfully planted, the amount of flue-cured tobacco purchased in the United States can also be gradually reduced. In this way, our tobacco profits can go to a higher level. In addition, Lu Jinbo reported that they managed to buy a formula for a high-end cigarette, which tasted good after trial production, and now it will be introduced to the market after the year. ā
Luo Rong thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice:
"Fight, this battle must be fought, otherwise we will be in a difficult situation." (To be continued.) )
