Chapter 34 The Locust Army That Determines Position Doesn't Want to Sweep!

"Not enough wood?"

"All 50,000 square meters have been used up?"

"It's all gone."

"Evacuation facilities in the mountainous areas of the base area, fortifications in Liao County and Yu County, and the widening of bridge support frames on mountain roads all require wood."

Yang Village,

Li Yunlong received an unexpected message.

50,000 square meters of wood, all used up.

But when he thought about it, he understood why.

50,000 square meters of timber is a lot of timber, and it is almost 50,000 based on the coarse pine wood that can be used as the main beam of the house.

However, in the face of the construction of fortifications in the two county towns, the construction of bridges and roads on the mountain horse roads in the Pan-Taiyue Mountains, and the construction needs of the people in the mountainous areas to take refuge in the caves, it is really a little insufficient.

"Okay, I'll figure it out."

Let the officers of the logistics supply department leave first, and Li Yunlong turned on the communicator on his wrist.

What if the supplies are not enough?

Of course, I'm looking for Brother Lu!

Although there is still a large amount of timber in the Taiyue Mountains, people can be sent to cut it, but first, it consumes manpower, secondly, the quality is poor, far inferior to the timber provided by Brother Lu, and secondly, it also destroys the water and soil environment?

Li Yunlong thought of the Tao in the casual conversation with Brother Lu.

Cutting down trees is destroying the environment.

"The 27th Division of the Devils needs a large amount of timber to build fortifications, build bridges and roads, and apply for 150,000 square meters of timber every month in order to avoid excessive deforestation and damage to the water and soil environment."

After a little thought, Li Yunlong wrote down this application list.

Reinforced concrete is in the list of special materials,

Then he pressed the button on the wrist communicator, but his finger tucked finally stopped.

150,000 square meters of timber per month, Brother Lu will definitely approve it, timber is not even ordinary materials, and he has a very reasonable reason, there is no reason not to approve.

so

Is it possible to continue to apply for some food?

After thinking about it and thinking about it carefully for a while, Li Yunlong finally added an application for 50,000 tons of grain per month to the application form to stabilize prices and prevent merchants from hoarding goods.

According to the plan, after repelling the attack of the 27th Division, the Taiyue base area needs to open up a transportation channel to the Shaanxi-Gansu border area, deliver grain to the border area, and let the rear anti-university and other institutions go all out to absorb and train talents.

It is estimated that 15,000 tons of grain will need to be delivered to the Shaanxi-Gansu border region every month to meet the demand.

It is also necessary to deliver grain to the Wutai Mountain base area,

Coupled with the food demand of the base areas in southern Hebei,

In this way, 50,000 tons per month is not enough.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Li Yunlong planned to give it a try and see if he could apply for more food.

The more food the better.

If not, the number of applications is too large, and being rejected will affect the evaluation every month, resulting in the lack of a new material quota every month, and he wants to fill in 100,000.

But if you think about it carefully, the total population of the Taiyue base area is only more than one million, which adds up to less than two million, and 100,000 tons per month is really a bit excessive.

Definitely won't pass.

50,000 tons per month is a good number.

···

Shanghai.

Concession.

"Yaga!"

"Rubbish!"

Looking at the latest Xinhua newspaper on the table, the photo of Li Yunlong stepping on the team flag, and the photo of the two team flags being placed together, made Ying Zuo Zhenzhao finally frown.

The United Flag was captured twice in a row by Tubalu.

Although it was a garrison division and a C division, the wing flag was captured twice in a row, and one wing was completely annihilated.

How could the Imperial Locust Army have such waste?

"It's all rubbish!"

After a long time, Kagesa Zhenzhao still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Kagesa belongs to the intelligence agency and has no direct relationship with the military, so it stands to reason that the defeat of the military is not his business.

He just needs to do his job.

But because of this newspaper, Kagesaki's recent work has been quite resistant.

Since the establishment of the Wang government, the first meritorious Kagezuo Zhenzhao has been highly valued by his superiors, and is responsible for continuing to promote the rebellion plan and weakening the resistance of the fruit in a bloodless way.

The results have also been remarkable.

General Guo Zheng led his troops to join the Wang government he organized.

However, the sudden appearance of this newspaper has made many officers of the Republic of China hesitate recently, weakened his wooing, and even some people who originally joined the Wang government also hesitated because of this newspaper.

Several people have already defected.

"Command."

"Strengthen the surveillance of newspapers, and if they find them, destroy them immediately."

Kagesashi gritted his teeth.

In fact, this matter did not have much impact, a few officers hesitated, several small-scale attacks, and a few people defected.

But it's just disgusting.

He was doing his best to deal with the preserved fruit, and the 11th Army was also very cooperative, although it failed to complete the strategic task of the base camp, but it also inflicted heavy losses on the front-line preserved fruit troops and suppressed the morale of the preserved fruit.

Quite a few officers began to waver, creating a lot of opportunities for him.

But something like this suddenly popped up in North China.

And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there will be a lot of troubles in North China in the future.

He had to work hard to block the news.

···

A few days later.

Ze County.

Around noon.

"Today's silver dollar has been exchanged, please come back tomorrow."

The staff at the counter said to the people outside.

"Hey..."

The people in line sighed, and then the regret dispersed.

But the other queue, that is, the window for exchanging counterfeit currency, miscellaneous currency, and fiat currency for the new Hebei currency, is still full of long queues.

It's just that this team was quickly redeemed.

There was only a dozen minutes between the two.

"It's a good result!"

This scene made the person in charge of economic warfare in the southern Hebei base area, who was inspecting the situation in Zexian County, feel gratified.

As it turned out, the decision to take the drug was the right one.

150,000 silver dollars are put into the market every day,

In the beginning, on the first day, the 10,000 silver dollars were still exchanged in half an hour, even for the first three days, but on the fourth day, people's enthusiasm for exchanging silver dollars began to wane.

Today is the sixth day.

After the exchange of 10,000 silver dollars was completed, it was already noon, that is, it took about three and a half hours for 10,000 silver dollars to be exchanged.

And there are not many people queuing up for redemption in the future.

"What are the prices on the black market?"

The person in charge asked an officer on the side.

"The same price as ours, one silver dollar is equal to ten new Hebei coins."

The officer replied.

"Good!"

The tone of the person in charge became more and more relieved.

The exchange rate on the black market is the same as the bank exchange price, which means that the market has completely accepted the new Hebei currency.

"Continue to maintain the investment quota of 10,000 per day, and the delivery of southern Hebei currency will also be doubled according to the predetermined plan, with 300,000 new southern Hebei dollars per day."

The person in charge advised.

Next, it is just a matter of continuing to consolidate.

Of course, it is also necessary to increase the amount of investment in the market to meet market demand.

According to calculations, in the future, only the southern Hebei base area needs 10 million southern Hebei coins in circulation, so according to the plan, after the circulation of currency in the market reaches 10 million, 10,000 silver dollars and 150,000 southern Hebei coins will be restored to the market every day.

"Do you buy those drugs?"

The person in charge asked.

The day before yesterday, the General Headquarters sent a company of soldiers from the guard battalion directly under the General Headquarters to bring some medicines to sell in various banks, with a price tag of 15,000 southern Hebei dollars per bottle, which is equivalent to 1,500 oceans per bottle.

Such a price is sky-high.

You must know that at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, it only cost 1,500 oceans to buy the latest American Ford car in Shanghai.

Other words

The headquarters believes that a single bottle of new medicine is comparable to a new American Ford-type car.

For a time, it was difficult for the person in charge to think about it.

But this is an order from the headquarters, and the guard unit directly under the headquarters is sent to be in charge, so he can't interfere, so he can only arrange sales.

"Nope."

The officer replied.

"Got it!"

The person in charge was not surprised.

Although the headquarters said that this drug was very valuable, and when the fame spread, someone would come to buy it, and it would be able to recover a large amount of currency and stabilize the currency, he once suspected that his superiors were painting cakes to satisfy his hunger.

But this is the responsibility of the headquarters, and he does not need to think about it.

"What are the prices of grain in southern Hebei today?"

The head of economic warfare continued to ask.

The core of this silver dollar war, and the real key problem, is not to stabilize to one silver dollar for every 10 southern Hebei coins, but to stabilize the prices in the base areas.

No matter how much money there is, it doesn't make sense, and the price is the key.

Otherwise, no matter how many silver dollars there are, you can't buy anything on the market, and silver dollars are not as good as waste paper.

"It's stable at the moment."

"We are also putting a small amount of high-quality grain on the market, and we can buy a pound of high-quality grain at the price of one pound of high-quality grain."

The officer replied.

"Good!"

The person in charge nodded.

"Still."

The officer's subsequent words made the person in charge a little nervous:

"In the first half of this year, there was a small-scale drought in Henan, coupled with the impact of the embankment burst, I am afraid... In the second half of the year, food prices will skyrocket. ”

"I see."

The person in charge frowned.

The southern Hebei base area is directly connected to Henan, and once a famine occurs in Henan Province, the price of grain will rise, which will inevitably affect the southern Hebei base area.

Although the headquarters will support 5,000 tons of grain in the southern Hebei base area every month, because of the inconvenience of transportation, it costs a lot of money to transport this grain, which is actually equivalent to 3,500 tons.

If grain prices soar, it will inevitably cause a sharp rise in grain prices in the base areas in southern Hebei, and grain prices will not be able to be suppressed.

That's not a good thing.

The plan of the headquarters is to build the southern Hebei base area into a prosperous base area.

Other commodities, and even some machinery and equipment, can take advantage of the devil's demand for silver dollars, and the devil merchants bring it in, but the food devil is also in urgent need, and it is impossible to transport it to the base area.

···

The next day.

"Yo Si."

Stone Gate.

Suzuki looked at the statistics sent by his subordinates, and his tone was excited.

In just seven days, the economic team he sent collected 350,000 silver dollars.

With the Empire's ability and means, it was possible to sell these silver dollars to the United States, or to the London futures market, for the equivalent of 150,000 dollars, or 750,000 yen.

And the price is just a few coins that cost little money, and counterfeit money.

At this rate, wouldn't he be able to get 600,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 3 million yen, in a month?

The annual budget for his department is only 2 million yen.

In a month, he earned a year and a half of activity funds, and his superiors did not reward him.

Even if the exchange of miscellaneous coins and joint coins is stopped in the future, he still has enough means to obtain silver dollars - the locust army has mastered the external channel, as long as the goods are transported into the Tuba Road base area, the silver dollars are not very big?

And

With the increase in the organizational strength in his hands, he is sure that next week, he will be able to collect forty percent of the silver dollars that Tubalu has put on the market.

"It's strange that there really are so many silver dollars in Tubalu."

The only thing that made Suzuki Fan 200 puzzled was.

Tuba Road in the southern Hebei region really invested 150,000 silver dollars into the market every day for seven consecutive days, without any reduction at all.

"It seems that the people behind Tubalu are very powerful!"

Suzuki narrowed his eyes.

Although he didn't understand, because of his interests at this time, Suzuki Fan Ji naturally hoped that Tu Hachi Lu would continue to invest 150,000 oceans in the market every day and never decrease.

In this way, he can continue to make money from the southern Hebei region.

"Your Excellency."

At this time, an officer walked in and reported to Suzuki Fanji:

"Heze Lian is preparing to send a brigade to unite two brigades of the Imperial Association Army, with a total of 2,300 troops, to launch a routine attack on Zexian in the southern Hebei region."

The devil also knows that sweeping is ineffective against the base area, and it is impossible to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, but he also knows that sweeping again and again can weaken the strength of the Eighth Route Army to the greatest extent and avoid growth.

So there will be regular sweeps.

This is especially true in plain areas like southern Hebei.

"Attack?"

Suzuki frowned.

Zexian County is the core area of the so-called southern Hebei base area of Tuba Road.

It is also a key hinterland.

Once the locust army attacks, Tubalu will inevitably suspend the exchange of silver dollars, so isn't there nothing he can do with a minimum of 45,000 silver dollars a day and a maximum of 60,000 silver dollars?

A sweep that lasts at least half a month.

How much of a loss?

Interests determine positions.

At this time, Suzuki Fanji didn't realize that he had been forced to become a community of interests in the southern Hebei base area.

Suzuki Fanji pondered for a moment, and immediately dialed the phone of Heze Daisa, and said in a serious tone:

"Heze Dazuo, I suggest postponing this sweep."

"A week ago, the Third Brigade launched an attack on the Tuba Road in the southern Hebei region, and during the battle, the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei region showed very strong firepower, and they had a large number of medium mortars, which led to heavy losses in the Third Brigade."

"According to intelligence, this is an artillery battalion from the Tubalu headquarters."

"The strength of a brigade is probably difficult to take, and it may even be difficult to lose."

"It's better to wait for the 27th Division to finish the sweep and have enough troops before launching the sweep."

"Makes sense."

Heze Dazuo immediately nodded in agreement.

He didn't want to sweep it.

Recently, the strength of the Tuba Road in the southern Hebei region has skyrocketed, and the strength of the Tuba Road is there, and because the 27th Division has been transferred, the locust army in the southern Hebei region is seriously insufficient.

If it weren't for the prescriptive order from his superiors, he wouldn't want to sweep.

"However, regular sweeps are orders from the command."

Heze Dazuo's tone was worried.

"We jointly propose to the command."

Suzuki immediately proposed.

"Thank you very much."

Heze Dazuo is also overjoyed.
