Chapter 5 Dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon
"Changed it!"
November 11th, half past ten in the evening.
As of today, it has been two weeks since the Yellow River returned to the border area. During this time, everything was carried out in an orderly manner and there was no chaos.
Based on the original 359 Brigade, the Production and Construction Corps has absorbed another 1,500 militiamen, and the reorganization has proceeded very smoothly.
Under the leadership of Brigade Commander Wang, the energetic comrades fought with high intensity for two weeks with a progress of 160 acres per day.
This number may seem slow, but it is already the limit of the moment. After all, reclamation is not only about leveling the land, but also about soil piling, fattening, water diversion and other projects, which is a lot of work.
It took three days just to lay out the ditch to divert water, not to mention the fact that the grass ash and cow dung had to be mixed together to fertilize the fields.
These tasks are not complicated in later generations, and it only takes two hours for the excavator to grab and dig an acre of land.
But now the soldiers only have some simple tools such as plows and hoes. The only animal power that can be relied on is more than 30 ploughing cattle.
However, all difficulties are paper tigers, and the first phase of 2,400 acres of land has been completed, and cabbage and radishes have even entered the sowing stage.
The progress of the work at the airport is also not bad, although it is not up to the planned standards, but two runways of 1,200×60 meters have been built, and there are two small hangars.
It's more than enough for six Spitfires, and the next two months can be slowly expanded, which is more than enough time.

After finishing today's work, Huang He dragged his tired body towards his residence. As he passed by the yard next door, he noticed that the lights hadn't been turned off yet, which was a bit strange.
His neighbor is the director, and the two often eat together on weekdays.
In this era of lack of entertainment, people's routines are very regular. As long as there is no important work, the other party almost always goes to bed at ten o'clock and starts at seven o'clock.
But today is different from usual, at this time, the oil lamp is still on in the room not far away, and people can still be seen faintly.
Driven by curiosity, Huang He walked into the other party's yard. He first said hello to the guard, and then knocked softly on the door.
"Knock knock!"
"Director, haven't you slept yet? Can I come in? ”
After getting a response from the other party, Huang He pushed the door open.
At this time, the director was sitting at his desk, as if he was drawing some kind of design. After seeing his deputy director come in, he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, his face full of fatigue.
"Sit down, did you just come back? You should also pay attention to rest at work, and don't rely on your youth to toss around. ”
"By the way, is the fighter you said before arriving tomorrow? When the time comes, let's go to the airport together, I'm a little tired these days, and I won't go to the bureau tomorrow morning. ”
Huang He nodded, he lifted the thermos in the room and poured two glasses of water, and then moved a stool and sat next to the director.
At this time, he saw the blueprint on the table, and it was not difficult to recognize it as a rifle from its appearance.
"Director, this should be the horse rifle you mentioned some time ago, right? It looks so beautiful, has it ever been made? ”
Influenced by a retired little old man, Huang values the most important thing when evaluating a new weapon. After all, the more beautiful the weapons and equipment, the higher the combat effectiveness.
After hearing this, the director got up and went to the closet. He opened the cabinet and pulled out a horse rifle with a total length of 1120 mm from inside.
Taking the unfamiliar weapon, Huang He pulled the bolt and briefly tested the feel, and then aimed at the oil lamp on the desk.
"How? Don't you think it's good? There is a button on the body of the gun, and when you press it, you can throw the gun and the bayonet will come out. ”
This fresh function made Huang He interested, and he followed the steps told by the director, and the three-edged bayonet with a square base was thrown out.
After touching the knife surface, Huang He couldn't help but nodded. Judging from the hardness, it must have been quenched, and the blood groove on it already had the prototype of the PLA bayonet of later generations.
Seeing the other party's satisfied appearance, the director smiled, he scratched his somewhat thinning hair and said:
"This gun is based on a Czech carbine, and the design of parts is as simple as possible without affecting the basic performance of the gun. It can be made by hand and even produced in large quantities. ”
"When we first made the sample gun, we didn't have deep hole processing equipment, so we used deep hole drilling on the lathe. There is no double-wire machine, and the rifling is pulled out by the cold extrusion method. ”
"All the metal parts of the gun are made of devil's rails, and the butt is made of mountain walnut. This gun can be regarded as a collection of all the wisdom of the Military Industry Bureau. ”
"It's a pity, it's still not as good as the MAS-36 you brought back. We haven't even chosen a name yet, and the MAS-36 can be mass-produced. ”
These words made Huang He very emotional, he had listened to the stories of the older generation of military experts in his previous life, and now he has witnessed many ups and downs and hardships.
Looking at the drawings on the desk, there are many details of the changes, and I can vaguely see that some parts have the design style of Gallic chickens.
After a little thought, Huang He knew what the other party was thinking. Just like the designers of later generations who have to make black ribbons under pressure, the stubbornness of the rabbit family has long been engraved in the bones.
"If I'm not mistaken, Director You're trying to refer to and learn the design concept of the magic weapon, and finally invent our own weapon, right?"
The director nodded, his eyes full of emotion, as if he had thought of a lot of things from the past.
"No matter how good other people's things are, they are also someone else's, and if you want to be truly strong, you have to learn to forge your own sword."
"The army is in a special period, and it is not easy to have standard weapons that cannot be easily replaced. But there will always be a time when the current weapons will be outdated, is it possible that we will be able to get new weapons of Gallic chickens in the future? ”
"It is true that the border area is still very backward now, but it is because of backwardness that we have to work harder, and we can't let others press us for a lifetime! This year, our Military Industry Bureau has been studying the drawings you sent back, and to be honest, those things are really not easy to use. ”
"In troubled times, it is a good time for stuffy hair development. But sooner or later the war will end, and we will have to build up an industrial base before the big powers react. ”
It is not surprising that Huang He can have such a vision, after all, he is the first minister of foreign trade in the future.
The technology in the Awakening Tiger system only contains things from before 1946. After the war is over, if we want not to be left behind by other developed countries, we must seize every minute and every second.
After all, you can't expect to be on your honeymoon forever with a hairy bear, there are so many bad things that you can do!
And a country cannot do without a complete industrial system. Otherwise, it is like a disabled person who lacks arms and legs, even if he has great ambitions, he will not be able to achieve them.
From scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong, it is a painstaking process, but every strong country must go through.
A complete industrial system, the greatest value of which is embodied in the war, can independently produce all war products without being stuck by foreign countries.
When a small country and a big country start a war, the big country can completely wipe out the small country with a few sophisticated products.
But in the war between the great powers, the gap in cutting-edge technology is not so big that one side is completely powerless to resist.
At times like these, it is more realistic to produce mid-range weapons in large quantities quickly than to slowly produce a handful of expensive high-end weapons.
If in the War of Resistance Against Japan, any force in the Republic of China can have the same industrial level as Sandezi. Not to mention attacking the three eastern provinces, it is estimated that even the peninsula will not dare to touch it.
In the same way,If the book is not stuck,The harm it causes to Asia is even more terrifying.。
In times of peace, war turns into competition for foreign trade.
A sound industrial system can reduce the cost of industrial supporting production, which is conducive to the production of high-quality and low-cost products, and strengthens the competitive advantage of domestic products in international trade.
No matter what country wants to threaten, they are not capable of crushing its economic system through a trade embargo, which puts a country in an advantageous position in an international conflict.
Moreover, the Yellow River knew that the motherland was very special in the world for a certain period of time, and there was a word called dividing the river and ruling during that time.
When the danger of national destruction is strangled around our necks, an absolutely complete industrial system that does not seek outsiders becomes the most correct choice.
Take the peninsula as an example, at one time they were also wealthy, and even had a higher standard of living than China and South Korea.
Now everyone knows what is going on with them, and if they don't have enough backers, they can't get enough oil, machinery parts, and technology, and the entire country's industry will collapse at once.
In the same way, I am looking at Ah San, who was simply the favorite of the two giants back then.
People are stupid and have a lot of money, they have fed some of the world's largest arms dealers, and they are still the world's biggest wrongdoers.
Not to mention that a submarine has been sunk, a fighter plane has fallen, and an aircraft carrier has caught fire, just saying that the price is ridiculously expensive, and it is often delayed in delivery and blackmailed.
Such a country is liked by everyone, and it can suck blood and can be easily handled.
But this kind of life is not what the motherland wants, and a fool will take the people's hard-earned money as a big wrong, so how can the people's quality of life be improved?
Compradors and traitors, in a sense, are all the way. If the preserved fruit can maintain its rule, it is estimated that even sovereignty cannot be guaranteed.
The people have long since chosen the future of their country.
Therefore, if peace is sought through struggle, peace will exist. If you seek peace by retreating, you will die peacefully. This statement is always true and cannot be wrong.
Seeing Huang He's thoughtful look, the director continued:
"When I went to Maozi's side before, I was going to study at Dongfang University. However, because of the slander of some people, he can only go to work in the People's Posts and Telecommunications Commission. ”
"Although I am very aggrieved, I have tried my best to continue learning! Just so that I can contribute my strength to the motherland in the future. It's much better now, and these things you brought back have provided us with valuable references and references. ”
"But thanks to you, my hair is getting less and less every day. Seeing that he is thirty-six, he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law. ”
These words made Huang He smile, for scientific researchers, no one can refuse advanced drawings. However, the current topic was indeed a bit heavy, and he raised an eyebrow to divert the topic.
"No, I remember that you were married twice, Director. Once before going abroad, and once when Maozi was there, she seemed to be a German woman. ”
The past was revealed, and Rao was a little embarrassed as the head of the secret service back then, so he pretended to be angry and waved his hand.
"Then you can't blame me, you say this to me like a scumbag. The first one lost contact in a special era, and when the news came later, she had remarried. ”
"The second term is reluctant to return to China with me, and I can understand that life here is too difficult."
"Hey, I really don't know when I'll have another love."
At this point, it's late. Huang He got up to leave, and before going out he turned back and said:
"Director, I once heard a sentence. Dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon. Let's work together, and the future will be created by everyone together. ”
"Good!"
————
Early the next morning, the Yellow River was called up by Wang Dexing.
After washing, the two had breakfast together. By the time they went out, the director had been waiting at the door for a long time.
The southerner, who was afraid of the cold, rubbed his hands helplessly, and said with some complaints: "Why did you kid get up so late, and I waited for you for a long time." Let's go, don't be too late. ”
Forty minutes later, Zeng and Huang arrived at the airport in the border area.
There were already many people chatting at the scene, even the Desperate War Fox and the Army Morale Master were standing at the front of the crowd, and the heads and faces of various departments in the border area came.
After all, today is a special day, and everyone wants to witness the first batch of aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.
Five minutes later, Huang He looked at his watch, calculating the time when the six Spitfires should have arrived.
This time, the arrangement of the system is very different from the previous ones, and the weapons of the previous times are all dead objects, and they can be extracted directly from the warehouse. But this time there were not only planes but also pilots, and it was only reasonable to fly from outside the province.
While everyone was discussing the form in which fighter jets would come to the airport, the unique sound of a piston engine gradually came from a distance, which was both unfamiliar and familiar to everyone.
Although the unit does not have an air force, it has a lot of experience in being bombed.
This kind of movement, which is completely different from the devil Lu Hang, immediately made everyone realize that today's protagonist is about to appear.
Suddenly! Six fighters appeared in the sky. Compared with the various models that appeared on the battlefield of the Republic of China in the past, the appearance of those planes is more than one grade higher.
In the eyes of the Yellow River, Da Peng Jiu is much better looking than Yi 16 on the side of the preserved fruit.
The fighter planes gradually moved from far to near under the gaze of the crowd, hovering above the airfield for two weeks before landing one by one.
At present, there is no ground staff at the border airport, and there is no staff to assist the soldiers to get off the plane, but this kind of trivial matter is naturally difficult for ace pilots.
The Spitfire's wings were not high off the ground, and they could flip the cockpit side doors down and double as pedals, and they could flip directly from the cockpit to the wings like a roadster.
"Report Chief! Wang Hai's flying brigade came to report! Please the chief instructs! ”
This neutral voice made everyone's eyes focus on the leading soldiers. He wears a one-piece leather flight suit, fleece pants and a flight scarf to keep warm from the cold.
"Comrades, hard work! From today onwards, you are the first air force of the Eighth Route Army! In the days to come, the task of guarding the airspace will be left to you! ”
After hearing the boss's words, several aces were obviously excited, and they stood up and saluted and shouted to the front: "Serve the people!" All enemies are paper tigers! ”
Just when everyone surrounded the pilot and asked for warmth, Huang He pulled the director to the vicinity of the six big spray nines.
Instead of the Royal Air Force livery, the fighters wore a gray color similar to a black ribbon, and he even saw the Siberian Tiger logo under the cockpit of the plane.
once made him, a time-traveler in later generations, have a feeling that he doesn't know what year it is.
Touching the heavy fuselage and looking at the two 20mm cannons, Huang He let out a heartfelt sigh.
"Obediently, it deserves to be the Tiger tank of fighters, this looks too domineering."
"I don't even know why the little devil's Type 97 fighter fights it, and when I get the Thunderbolt out, trouble the Type 1 Falcon, Type 2 Zhong Kui, Type 3 Feiyan, and Type 4 Wind to line up and send them to death!"
I went to remove the stitches today, and it was delayed for more than an hour! Kowtow to the bosses!
Next, there is a big man who wants to meet with the Yellow River, and if you are interested, you can guess who it is.
