Chapter 204: Three Months Later
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The first phase of Xu San's planned cement plant has been completed, and of course this first phase of the project is only the most rudimentary earthen kiln. However, because there are two high-quality supervisors, the cement produced can barely meet the requirements of the military department. The so-called high-quality overseers were invited by Xu San in Phoenix City by not very honorable means.
One is Thomas Howard, a British, and the other is a Chinese, named Zhu Qing.
The two of them didn't have any resistance, and they also knew the cruelty of the devil, so they cooperated, and Xu San's ability to draw cakes also made the two of them feel at ease to cooperate with the construction of the factory.
The location of the cement factory was arranged by Yamamoto, south of Chuliang County, which was actually the location of the former gunpowder workshop of the Kurosawa Wing.
To be honest, Xu San doesn't like this location very much, because it has always been bombed by the Eighth Road once, and building a factory in this location that has been bombed by the Eighth Road has always made him feel a little awkward in his heart, and he feels a little unlucky.
Xu San also has no better location, because the roads and railways here are very convenient, many infrastructure facilities are ready-made, and there is a power plant east of Chuliang, which is also convenient to receive electricity in the later stage. The quality of cement goods, whether it is raw materials or finished products, is very large, and if there is no good transportation conditions, then it will be very unfriendly to sales.
From the site selection to the mass production of the first batch of cement, Xu San took two and a half months.
Now that the first batch of cement has been shipped out, the funds on the books are almost at the bottom.
Xu San grabbed his head and began to worry about money.
The second phase of the construction has to ask for money, and the money he has been abducted and deceived is about to bottom out, and the little rich woman's aid funds have not yet arrived, and even if it does, Xu San does not plan to use it, because the third phase will be equipped with large-scale equipment, and at that time it will almost cost a budget of 80,000 or 90,000 oceans, which is still a conservative calculation, because the inflation in this period is too fast.
It's June now, and all the cement manufactured is also given priority to the devils, and a small part is supplied to Xu San's puppet army, and according to the current production capacity, the orders in hand cannot be completed by the end of the year.
There are orders, but there is no money, it is not that the devil will not give money, but because of the account period, if you want to get the money for this first batch of goods, you will have to wait at least until October, which is still the result of Yamamoto's maneuvering.
Yamamoto was as he expected, because this cement factory was built, and he had a lot of close relations with several devil high-ranking officials, and Xu San always felt that he seemed to be planning some conspiracy through these meetings with Yamamoto.
This old fox, now healed, is starting to think about biting.
But what he was going to do made Xu San scratch his head.
Throwing the cement factory's financial report on the table, Xu San rubbed his eyebrows and left the desk, pulling out a copy from the shelf, planning to change his mind, see if he could get inspiration in it, and see where to make some money.
"Report!" Sun Changhai's voice came from outside the office door.
"Enter!"
Sun Changhai pushed the door and walked in and walked to Xu San's side: "Report to the commander, the battalion commander is invited." ”
Xu San threw it on the table and asked, "Do you know anything?" ”

"I don't know!"
"Okay, I know, I'll go." Xu San said, waving his hand to let Chen Changhai go out first.
He Yong looked for himself Xu San knew in his heart, one was the matter of cement, and the other should be a matter of sweeping.
As the weather warmed up, the sweep of the devils also became closer, and He Yong's puppet military camp was also fortunate to participate in it.
However, under Xu San's ingenious arrangement, He Yong was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, wrapped dumplings, and then successfully escaped under Xu San's ingenious arrangement.
Saying.. Edition. 】
In this escape, Xu San turned the tide, quickly adjusted his strategy with the puppet army of the fifth battalion, and left a squad of devils as bait to successfully break through.
The whole process went smoothly without a little delay, and in the process of this breakthrough, except for the loss of a little equipment, there was almost no damage to the personnel.
This makes He Yong very satisfied, because he is more interested in people than equipment, and he believes that only with more people can he gain a foothold in this troubled world.
As for the equipment, he can be cheeky to ask for the devil, as for the devil to hit a few mouths, it is not a matter, not to mention that now that Xu San is the quartermaster, this kind of thing just let him do it.
The combat effectiveness of the fifth battalion of the puppet army where Xu San is located is actually quite good, after all, there are devils to provide equipment and training, as long as there are no major mistakes in command, there is still the strength to fight.
However, the puppet army is a puppet army after all, they are naturally inferior, and they have never won a battle, so they cannot exert their power even if they have good equipment.
Since that battle, He Yong has also fully realized Xu San's ability to command and escape.
Although the level of the battle cannot be seen, the level of retreat and escape is definitely first-class, so He Yong basically has to discuss with Xu San when there is a major military operation.
After straightening his clothes, Xu San came to He Yong's office.
After a little greeting, He Yong said his intentions.
Sure enough, Xu San saw the area of this sweep on the document handed by He Yong.
From the area indicated in the combat order, and then looking at the military map hanging on the battalion headquarters, Xu San felt that the target of the devil this time had approached the 358th regiment, which was the defense area where Chu Yunfei was located.
Staring at the map, Xu San thought about it for a while and roughly guessed the devil's intentions.
He Yongshou's military order saw part of this battle plan, but he knew that during this period, the devil seemed to be negotiating with Chongyang Z, and this sent troops over, it should be to exert pressure.
Using a talking stick to draw on He Yong's map, a familiar place fell into Xu San's eyes, "Lang Village? ”
I don't know how to dig the tunnel in Lang Village, although he drew a reference map for Zhang Shouling, but after all, this is a paper thing, and it needs to be modified when it is implemented.
But to be able to silently destroy six devils, it's good to dig up.
Looking at the area Xu San pointed to, He Yong said, "This operation does have this place, half a month ago, a six-member imperial army squad disappeared. According to the informant, it is said that they last appeared in Lang Village, and the Locust King suspects that there are eight roads hidden here, so this Lang Village is a key target, and if they find a place where they can, they will kill them all. ”

Xu San flipped through the documents in his hand, carefully remembered the distribution of the devil's troops, and then handed the documents back to He Yong, "Taijun, are you using us as cannon fodder again?" ”
"Which sweep did we not use cannon fodder, brother, I used to be a full battalion, and now there are only 400 people left, isn't this all a sweep by devils? What do you say to dress up in eight ways, but it turns out that the more labor and management soldiers sweep away, the fewer people there are, MD! Hey, who told us to send people under the fence, don't talk about those bad things, brother, let's tell me what you think of this operation, right? He Yong was asking Xu San for advice.
"I've been to Lang Village, about three months ago, and at that time, I did kill a few eight roads with two Taijun."
"So this place is really the stronghold of the Eighth Route Army?"
"Do you want Taijun to say, if Taijun said that the fellow is the Eighth Road, then they are the Eighth Road. If Taijun said that Balu is a fellow countryman, it is a fellow countryman. ”
Xu San's ambiguous words made He Yong not quite understand, "Brother, let's say it clearly, what should we do?" ”
