Chapter 282: Disaster Relief Conference
"We can't be too careful! In addition, another batch of medicines and gasoline barrels will be organized in Mumbai, and a few small gasoline engines will be procured, and the reserves will be available at the airport. Dolly doesn't need it, and the logistical strength of others is not comparable to us. The material consumption of Xinpingyang will be very fast, we just need to fill the gap! ”
"Mr. Li, the command has a proposal to requisition our airfield and transport planes! How do we respond? ”
"And the general made it clear what we were going to do, and they shouldn't stop the relief of Chinese refugees, but asked them to support us. We will hand over the airport to them at the end of the year, and if the plane needs to airdrop supplies to Burma, we will obey the command, and we can tell the general that even if we airdrop them to Xinpingyang now, find a time when the weather is better, we can do it, and at most half of the supplies will be lost. They make up their minds, and we execute. Does Mr. Shen need to introduce you to the American general? ”
Shen Zui thought about it and shook his head: "No! No! It's okay not to know something! ”
After dinner, when the weather was a little cooler, Brother Wei organized people to install the machine by hand, and it was to be installed until the next morning. It's uncomfortable to sit there during the day, and I can't really work. Shen Zui counted the decisions of the playboys, and less than ten were willing to go to Lido, a dozen were determined to return to China, and the other less than 80 went to Mumbai. According to his own intentions, let these people go by train, and Shen Zui insisted on sending them by plane. Unmoved, the matter of transporting food is still the most important. In the end, Woody said that his special plane could carry more than 30 people, and it would be enough to send one himself.
Although he compromised, he still warned Shen Zui: "They are all adults, and we are not nannies, we don't know how to save our lives, and then scare them to return to China." To them here, it is a battlefield, and sacrifice is not a big thing! Put your words in place, and put your responsibilities away, lest you trouble me! ”
Shen Zui mocked: "You were the one who let the arranger come, and now you have to take people away, I'm afraid that you will be the one who will be affected!" ”
"It seems that your commander really has no soldiers in his hands!" I went back with a word.
Send Woody off and ponder what he said. People still want to save face, and it is always not good to rely on civilian rescue! It will only be requested unless it is absolutely necessary. It's a good thing to promise to requisition the airport at the end of the year! And we have priority access to all military airfields, which is even better! Woody really has a good popularity! You have to think hard and make full use of the conditions! You can't waste people's thoughts, right?
I went to Lido's drunkenness, and as long as I can take off the delta wing every day, I will definitely go back to the airport, which is called caring for me! The command plane flew over Myanmar several times, because the clouds were too thick, and it did not play a big role, and also because the command plane of the Flying Tigers arrived, and it was returned to us. Using our plane, we felt awkward and people were not very reassured. When it comes to military confidential issues, everyone is very cautious and cautious, for fear of being suspected!
Shen Zui didn't want to know much about things, and he didn't have any channels to inquire about the news, but on June 20, he heard Cousin Wei say, "Ni Pengfei of Xinpingyang telegraphed to inform that the Chinese army has arrived in Xinpingyang. I don't know why there has been no news of leaving for India! It was confirmed that Chinese troops had reached the grapes via Sunbrabeg. ”
But I know very well whether the Chinese army should come to India, there are too many differences of opinion, and it is difficult to become a soldier! It was almost the end of the month, and I felt that staying in India for more than half a month had no effect, so I moved my mind to go back to Shaanxi. The second uncle drafted a telegram asking him to organize American reporters to come to Shaanxi for inspection and interviews, preferably in mid-July. Disaster relief is the most important task in the second half of this year, and when asked about the transportation of grain, Brother Wei opened his mouth to say that the number was just over 10,000 tons. It's enough for 30,000 people to starve to death a year! Feeling that he had miscalculated, he said to his cousin, "You telegraph to Mr. Woody and start buying meat in large quantities, whether it is a large can, or salting, a pound of meat is better than a pound of grain!" You can also source directly from the local area, which is also a way to maintain local relationships. By the way, there is also sugar, this thing is high in calories, packaging you have to find a way! ”
Call Shen Zui to come to the airport, and explain to Brother Wei in front of Shen Zui to cooperate, actively support the rescue of the Chinese army, and contact him by telegram if there is no solution! Shen Zui said that Lieutenant Yin had no role in India, and asked to return to Shaanxi together.
When he returned to the base, when his uncle saw him coming back, he immediately summoned Uncle Tang, Commander Feng, Li Daze, and Tian Gong to meet the disaster relief problem. The uncle first reported the situation: "Peng Chengfu reported that the situation in various parts of Henan is very bad. There is no rain in spring, and the wheat harvest in the field is less than two percent of the perennial year. I haven't seen rain in the summer! The summer-sown crops have withered in the ongoing drought, and the autumn harvest has determined that there is no hope left! Some of the fertile fields near the river and by the well may be a little harvested. At present, the base reserves about 14,000 tons of grain, and the reserves of the Li family and the Zhou family are about 10,000 tons, and the total amount is still a drop in the bucket. What are we going to do, let's talk about it! ”
After waiting for a while, I saw that everyone was looking at me. After thinking about it, let's just say it, I guess people have discussed it a few times. "Then I'll talk about it first. The situation may be even worse in the future, and disaster relief may be a one-year task from now on, so be mentally prepared. One is to suspend food procurement! Let's talk about the autumn grain, send people to Gansu, Ningxia and Mongolia to purchase meat, cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs! It is made into bacon or canned food and transported back, mixed with grain to carry hunger. One is to purchase some coke and coal, I forgot about this, I can't do anything without burning! ”
The uncle interjected, "You speak slowly, I'll write it down!" ”
I slowed down and continued: "I have already informed the second uncle to organize reporters and ask to be able to come to Shaanxi before the end of July. I plan to start disaster relief on August 1st! In the early stage, we guided the people in the disaster area to come to Shaanxi. At the same time, it will cause social impact, after all, the government and the general public have risen up to provide disaster relief, and we should do our best, but we can't complete such a big task! Therefore, the third is that from mid-July, the business newspaper and radio will focus on reporting on the disaster situation and our preparedness, disaster relief plans, and officially inform the relevant government agencies in Shaanxi and Henan. When things are said, one is to put pressure on ourselves, and the other is to welcome reporters to supervise! Even if we are wrong, we will change! ”
Pause for a moment to see if everyone has no objections, "Fourth, call on and mobilize the Li family, the Zhou family and the villages that have a good relationship with us, and each household accepts one Henan family to survive the disaster, and we can give subsidies!" How to subsidize it, my uncle and cousin will study it! Through the testimony of reporters, the newspaper commended each of them! Of course, there is a good side, and there is a bad side. After the masses entered the disaster-stricken areas, each village stepped up patrols and strengthened protection to prevent individual people in the disaster-stricken areas from making trouble, and also to prevent Japanese spies from coming in to do things. ”
Uncle Cousin nodded and said, "That's no problem!" ”
"Fifth, please ask Commander Feng and Li Da to study the disaster relief route, formulate a disaster relief plan, and also formulate a protection plan for the disaster relief site, and determine the manpower needed. At the same time, Li Da is ready to be the commander-in-chief of disaster relief in Henan, responsible for all disaster relief affairs in the front, and bring Peng Chengfu under your command! The escorts were mainly hired by Li Daze and the Fourth Group Army, and the base personnel basically did not need to go to Henan, because they were needed for many things here. Moreover, the cost itself is also a form of assistance that we give them. ”
"Understood!" Commander Feng and Li Da spoke in unison.
"Sixth, if there is a disaster, there will be an epidemic, and we will also have to purchase relevant medicines and prepare medical personnel. By the way, there is also the purchase of large quantities of soap, and personal cleanliness is very important. Uncle nodded in agreement.
"Seventh, arrange for the construction company to choose a place to build a house, which needs to accommodate 10,000 children, of course, this is one after another, but it will be completed within a year. I can still afford to raise 10,000 children! Commander Feng's tears flowed down his eyes when he said this, and he felt surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Commander Feng?" ”
"Nothing, nothing! I just think of my father-in-law, and I haven't even gone back to see them once since I left Hebei! You continue! ”
