And across the river in Lujiazui, Pudong, in a camp just established by the traversers, another special force is also rapidly taking shape.

In this era, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jin Mao Tower are still nowhere to be seen. The murky Huangpu River divides Shanghai into two shijies: Puxi is the modern ten-mile ocean field of Greater Shanghai, while Pudong is just a vegetable field overlooking the Bund Park, and the riverside beachhead is overgrown with reeds, and there are small crabs in the silt under the reeds...... Therefore, there is a saying that "I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong".

Fortunately, with the arrival of the Travelers and the Red Tenth Army, this land, which would have erected dozens of super-high-rise skyscrapers in the future long in the future, was developed more than half a century ahead of schedule and became an important military base under the Shanghai Commune.

-- Under the banner of the "Iron Fist Explosion Chrysanthemum Hemorrhage" army, rows of two-story simple houses with blue roofs and white walls of composite colored steel plates, and large field tents with new appearances stand majestically in the winter sun, just like some large-scale national defense construction site in the 21 st century. A golden plaque hangs in front of the gate of the alloy steel beam, and it is the six majestic traditional characters of "Shanghai Urban Management Brigade"!

This is the descendant troops tailored by the traversers for Sister Jinqina and Political Commissar Hu Dexing, and the guarantee for them to take root in this era.

At present, Jin Qina's post is vice chairman of the Shanghai Soviet Government, Hu Dexing's post is deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and Fang Zhimin is chairman and mayor of the Shanghai Soviet Government -- this practice is very much in line with our party's early tradition of having "friends outside the party" hold deputy posts, but it also means that the deputy officials cannot find a way to be self-reliant. will be reduced to a "senior consultant" or even a "senior vase" without a team, and it will be difficult to grasp the real power.

As everyone knows, our party is a militant party with very strong organizational strength. However, no matter how strong the organizational strength of the party is, it does not mean that there will not be all kinds of mountains and shili below, and in the early revolutionary struggles, and even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of "mountains" have always been the guarantee of political voice -- how big your "mountain" or your own team is, it shows how great your political energy is.

No way, after all, the Republic of China period was an era when soldiers were grass kings. Whether there is military support behind it or not is very different for individuals, if a leader does not have his own descendant group at all. Often, they become constrained, and they feel like they can't do it everywhere. In case he was implicated in the political struggle, he was thrown down to the cowshed or even shot a target, and he couldn't even get a little hole card to save his life.

Obviously. Now she can only mix in the Red Army system. I definitely don't want to end up like this one day.

As for Wang Qiu and others, who are "visitors from outside the world", it is also beneficial to the current unprecedented cross-time and space cooperation that can be achieved by allowing Sister Jin Qina, who is "her own person", and Hu Dexing, who is considered "half of her own people", to establish an armed force that can fight hard in this time and space, and to form an ironcore ally with relatively large political energy within our party in the thirties of the 20th century.

After all, the old version of our party and the new version of our party are two very different organizations, and they are all very different in terms of concepts and ideology. There is no reliable and powerful intermediary to communicate between such organizations. It is easy to cause very serious misunderstandings. In order to avoid the dilemma of throwing enamel tea jars at the time of the conference in some large transactions and strategic differences in the future; In order for the old diehards and the new imperialists not to fall apart because of some minor problems. From the very beginning, Wang Qiu and his team planned to build up an armed force headed by the traverser Jin Qina and political commissar Hu Dexing, equipped with all kinds of advanced weapons, in order to occupy the initiative in the long-term cooperation with the Red Tenth Army in the future, so that the form and line of the red revolutionary struggle during this period would be biased as much as possible towards the actual economic interests of the Chengguan Dogya International Column.

-- There is no way, the Chinese political scene in these years is so realistic, if you don't have a gun in your hand, you usually don't speak.

In fact, if Wang Qiu and his subordinates did not have the 2,000 mercenaries who looked very bluffing, but only carried a bunch of advanced arms and canned food to "aid the communists", maybe Fang Zhimin and other top leaders of the Red Tenth Army with black bellies would directly let the traversers enjoy the treatment of "overseas patriotic overseas Chinese": when they opened their mouths to ask for things, they were full of tears and emotion, and the compliments that did not require money were sent one basket after another; When it comes time to really make decisions on various major issues, it will politely let you step aside......

Next, in order to circumvent the defect that there were no regular red military cadres among Jin Qina and Hu Dexing, this newly established independent unit was not included in the sequence of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, but hung up the terrible name of "Chengguan Brigade", which seemed to be ordinary and unremarkable, but in fact shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the other hand, the Shanghai underground party, the released political prisoners, the Kuomintang officers and soldiers who had just surrendered, and many other small shili who had joined the gang halfway in the Shanghai Commune, these "miscellaneous troops" in the Shanghai Commune are now facing the Red Tenth Army, a powerful foreign "dragon crossing the river", and naturally have the need to "huddle together for warmth...... I have to admit that the Chinese have a tradition of infighting no matter what the situation.

As a result, Liliang, who was originally "marginalized" by these parties, hit it off and quickly put together the grass platform team of the "Shanghai Urban Management Brigade".

-- Ms. Jin Qina, who is young and beautiful, has many fans, has a royal sister, a princess, an armed lady, a wife, a mother, a resentful woman, a beautiful writer, and many other cute points, as the captain of the urban management team, and is ready to gradually cultivate her leadership and political ability in the future work;

Comrade Hu Dexing, who has a lot of underground work experience, is the general political commissar of the urban management team, responsible for leading the daily operation and discipline supervision of the urban management brigade;

Wang Yaowu, a general with rich military experience, was appointed chief of staff of the Chengguan Brigade and was responsible for setting up the operational command system of the Chengguan Brigade.

Sun Liren, who graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, is a senior military adviser. In order to understand through him the characteristics of the armies of the Western powers of this era.

A large number of unemployed workers in Shanghai mixed with a small number of surrendered Kuomintang soldiers were used as soldiers of the Chengguan Brigade to maintain the purity of the ranks while recruiting and surrendering rebels.

It was thought that the captured cadres of the Red Army who were rescued from the Suzhou Provincial Courtyard were ordinary instructors, and basic training was carried out in queues, marches and digging fortifications.

With the Russian Werewolf Traverser as a senior instructor. Teach drunk driving and crowd fighting...... Uh, no, it's vehicle driving and basic infantry drills.

Ms. Xiao Se served as a guest coach to train women's self-defense skills for the female comrades under General Political Commissar Hu when she had free time.

zuihou, with the banner of "Iron Fist Bursting Chrysanthemum Hemorrhage" full of violent aesthetics as the military flag of the Shanghai Chengguan Brigade, symbolizes the invincible combat effectiveness of the chengguans.

In addition, Ms. Jin Qina's only daughter, Meng Lori Jin Xingzhen, is the general captain of the Shanghai Children's Pioneers. Hanging a five-bar epaulettes, he is responsible for leading progressive children throughout Shanghai to satisfy Lolicon's delusions...... Wrong. It is to inherit the legacy of the former prime minister Sun Yat-sen.

The entire Chengguan Brigade recruited 3,000 soldiers in the first phase, and the soldiers were not expensive. It has three motorized infantry battalions and several independent companies, such as artillery companies, armored vehicle companies, transport companies, air defense companies, and so on...... In general, the army is much simpler to train than the navy and air force. Ordinary GIs only need to receive an average of half a month to a month of assault training. So-so can go to the front.

However, those jishu troops were not so easy to tinker with - Rao was the strongest man in Shanghai at this time with the highest level of knowledge in the country, and it was also very difficult for the traversers to teach them to calculate the trajectory, measure the wind speed, and operate and maintain the vehicle. Even for those who were car drivers, the cars of the early 20th century are not the same as those of the 21st century...... Not to mention that there are people who are causing trouble......

――“…… Tips for driving armored vehicles? Hiccup~~~~ First of all, drinking, you know. Recruit??!! ”

“…… Are you a coward? Never mind! You don't know what that putter is for? Never mind! Take a sip and you'll be able to solve it! ”

“…… Burp~~~~ Follow me and raise the bottle high. Then take a big sip of it...... Hiccup~~~~Ulla!!! ”

……

The above is the content of the first lecture of Comrade Sonia, the political commissar who drank three bottles of vodka, in the armored car teaching class of the Shanghai Urban Management Brigade......

Fortunately, before she drove a wheeled armored car into the Huangpu River, a frightened Professor Yang finally stopped the female drunk.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the whole, in the first days of January 1935, apart from sporadic harassment by the imperialist fleets in China and the Kuomintang navy, the days of the nascent Shanghai Commune were barely peaceful. Conscription and preparation for war are booming, and fighting local tyrants and sharing floating wealth are also vigorous.

-- If we talk about cracking down on local tyrants, Shanghai is definitely the place with the largest number of local tyrants and wealthy owners in China. Because the Shanghai Concession is protected by the extraterritoriality of foreign powers, it is considered to be the safest place, and the landlords, warlords, and corrupt officials of all provinces in China like to buy villas in the Shanghai Concession and transport the gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques they have looted to the concession for storage, not only for safety, but also for the sake of being able to have a place for the whole family to settle down and live in peace when they are unfortunate enough to go to the wilderness to live in peace...... As a result, all of them are now cheaper than the Red Tenth Army, and for a while, corpses of different deaths are hung all over the streets, and all kinds of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, copper tripod jade pendants and snuff bottles are copied out of the house like flowing water.

Obviously, this one-size-fits-all brutal approach will bring a lot of hatred to the Red Army, but anyway, the class antagonism in China has become so serious that the rich are eager to knock the poor out of the bones, and the poor are eager to cut the rich into the pot. There is absolutely no room for the slightest kind of friendly speech between the two sides, so the hatred of a handful of landlord-comprador reactionaries is disdained in the eyes of any backbone revolutionary.

On the other hand, the promotion of the all-plastic "Shanghai bills" issued by the Red Army, or "red bills" and "red horns", finally achieved certain results, and most merchants gradually began to accept this novel "mini currency" without triggering a run on the frenzy - after all, after the run on the silver dollar, you can find a random box or cabinet to stuff in. But if it's a run on table salt, how many places do you have in your house? What should I do if it's tidal? What's worse is that. If you don't like the silver dollar is too bulky, you can deposit it back in the bank, but you can't deposit it again if you take the salt!

Of course. If the amount of money is so large that it causes panic in the market, then hundreds or thousands of Shanghai citizens will still line up at the door of the Soviet Bank or the "salt store", each carrying hundreds of kilograms of refined salt to their homes...... However, during the period when the Shanghai Commune was first established, the market was very limited because the old currency and foreign currency could not be exchanged for "Shanghai bills", and the new currency was only used for salaries, shopping materials, and gold and silver. Therefore, the value of the currency is quite strong, and it can already hold on to the 600 tons of refined salt "reserves" brought by Wang Qiu.

In the long run, though. If you want to make the people more convinced of these "red tickets" and "red horns" and willing to accept them for trading, it is not enough to rely on refined salt, an equivalent value. Wang Qiu and the others plan to wait until the time is ripe to open a number of supply and marketing cooperatives and welfare cooperatives in Shanghai. So that ordinary people can use plastic "Shanghai tickets" to buy cheap department store goods of modern shijie in these places. Thus further establishing the credibility of the currency.

At this stage, the traversers can only use dollar, pound, franc and yen banknotes to buy old antiques and old furniture in the hands of the surrounding people...... Of course, maybe it feels easier to do this, but anyway, the traveler has as many banknotes as he wants.

On the other hand, when the Shanghai Commune and the Red Tenth Army were seizing the time to recruit and prepare for war and practice their internal skills, there were many other shili of this shijie. However, because of the sudden birth of this new regime, it seems that an eighteen-magnitude earthquake has erupted. Caught in unprecedented turmoil and confusion......

January 9, 1935, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province

At dawn the day before yesterday, a group of Red Army soldiers suddenly attacked the second largest city in Guizhou Province as if they had fallen from heaven.

Next, under the continuous cold winter rain, all kinds of Red Army troops entered the city one after another from the Wujiang River. Although the Red Army soldiers who had traveled a long way were covered in mud. His clothes were in tatters, but his mental outlook was very good, and when he entered the city, he excitedly sang the "Red Army Discipline Song".

Because, after a long and arduous three-month journey, they finally have a place to stay.

-- In the previous three months, the morale of the Central Red Army was extremely low due to successive defeats, especially when crossing the Xiang River, and it lost two-thirds of its troops, and some of its troops had already broken and disintegrated, while the enemy was blocking the front and chasing after it, and set up a heavy encirclement. At this critical juncture, Li De was helpless, only knew how to lose his temper and scold others. Bogu was also at a loss, and could only sigh. The whole army was discouraged.

Fortunately, when the Central Red Army desperately crossed the Xiangjiang River, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps fought several victories in Xiangxi, once threatening Changde, an important town in Xiangxi, pinning down the main force of the Hunan Army and Xue Yue's two Central Army columns, and leading the most urgent pursuit for the Central Red Army with heavy losses.

The Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie, who was deployed in front of the Central Red Army, had a total strength of troops equal to that of the Central Red Army, and all of them were "double spearmen" with poor equipment, loose discipline, and opium smokers. In the face of the Central Red Army that broke into Guizhou, Wang Jialie not only wanted to preserve his strength, but also guarded against Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army breaking in and grabbing his territory under the pretext of "suppressing bandits". Therefore, the Central Red Army finally got rid of the encirclement and interception of the strong enemy temporarily, walked out of the deserted mountains and mountains, and came to Zunyi, an important commercial town in northern Guizhou, to rest temporarily.

For the Red Army soldiers, who were already scarred and exhausted, this rest came at a very timely time.

You must know that after the Central Red Army set out from Jiangxi, it passed through the city all the way until it came to Zunyi. At that time, the soldiers had privately discussed: How big is this Zunyi, and which one is more prosperous compared to Ruijin? So when they came in, they all liked it - this was the big city they had in mind, and it was also the most beautiful city they had passed through on the expedition so far.

In order to leave a good impression on the people of Zunyi, Zhang Wentian also specifically asked the Red Army soldiers and cadres to wear shoes before entering the city.

But in fact, in Zunyi in 1935, the so-called "big city" in the minds of the Central Red Army, actually had a population of just over 30,000, and there was only a small generator in the whole city to supply electricity to the mansions of a few wealthy people.

-- Compared with the Red Tenth Army Corps in the Great Shanghai Huahuashijie, the current situation of these local buns of the Central Red Army is really a bit sad.

Of course, in any case, the commanders and fighters of the Red Army, who had been on a long journey for three months in a row, finally got a good opportunity to recuperate in this city -- the logistics personnel immediately used Zunyi, an important commercial town rich in material supplies, to replenish supplies, buy daily necessities and medical supplies, and prepare for the future march and battle, so as not to go to the barren mountains and mountains where there are no villages and no shops in front of them, and they will not be able to buy anything with silver dollars. Political workers recruited new soldiers everywhere to replenish the soldiers, and in just a few days, thousands of recruits were recruited from Zunyi City, which has a population of 30,000. He also went to the school in Zunyi to carry out revolutionary propaganda, and also organized the Red Army cadres to play basketball games and dance with the students of Zunyi, which was very "little bourgeois".

The Central Red Army's clothing factory had a foothold, and it took the opportunity to start working with all its might, making new uniforms for the whole army in just a few days, and the Red Army field hospital also treated the wounded and sick in a surprise attack, and managed to resettle some disabled people who had lost their combat effectiveness. The veterans and cadres who had some spare money in their pockets took the opportunity to go shopping in Zunyi City, buy books and newspapers, make clothes, and go to restaurants to make dental sacrifices, and got a very good rest here.

The central leaders of the party and the Red Army moved into luxurious mansions and enjoyed a luxurious life that had not been seen for many years. (To be continued......)
