Chapter 3
Birds die for food and humans die for wealth. This is what our ancestors told us. Now that Zhao Wenbin used this sentence here, it could be said that he had achieved very good results.
Old Man Li and the other two kept taking notes in front of three tables. Behind them was a group of young people who wanted to join the army.
Zhao Wenbin sat on the bullock-cart. When he saw this scene, he grinned. Very good, there would be soldiers soon!
He knew that in this era, no! Even in the future, you wouldn't be able to talk about your ideals with ordinary people. When it came to ideals, it was money that could not be spent and a life that could not be enjoyed. This was an ideal.
If you talk to them about national justice, expelling the Japanese pirates, restoring China, or something like that, they will definitely vomit on your face. You won't even have enough to eat, so why talk about ideals?
Slowly, the sky began to darken, and the recruited soldiers stood in the open space with blank expressions. At this time, they were still holding money in their hands, and they were at a loss. They looked at the 50 yuan in their hands and were somewhat in disbelief.
At some point, Zhao Wenbin came down from the ox cart with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Young Master, we have recruited 283 people this afternoon.”
Old Man Li and the other two old guys walked to Zhao Wenbin with the roster in their hands and handed it to him.
"Well done!"
Zhao Wenbin took a casual look and then looked at Old Man Li and asked,"Do you know these people?"
"Of course I do! They were all old acquaintances from this town or its surroundings.”
Old Man Li naturally knew these people, just like how you didn't know your neighbors in your hometown.
Zhao Wenbin nodded and handed him the roster. Then, he walked in front of these 200 people and looked at them."Soldiers! From now on, you are all soldiers. But today is only the first day. So I'll give you one day. Gather here before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Now, go back and give this money to your families. At the same time, tell them that you've joined the army!”
The soldiers left in a daze, bringing back 50 dollars.
"Young Master, what should we do?"
Old Man Li looked at Zhao Wenbin and asked. The other two old men, Qian Mingxue and Old Man Zhou, were also looking at Zhao Wenbin.
After all, Zhao Wenbin was their boss now.
Zhao Wenbin looked at the watch on his wrist and said softly,"Go back first! Tomorrow morning, wait for me at the fabric shop. Then we'll go buy a piece of flat land!”
........
Zhao Wenbin returned to the Infinite War Machine. At this time, the command room was no longer as empty as last night. There was everything inside, and it looked like a battle command room.
"He really lives for war!"
Zhao Wenbin shook his head. Then, he picked up something that looked like a watch on the table and put it on his wrist. He took off the watch from before. This was a remote controller, so he could control the war machine even when he was away from it.
"Tomorrow, we will buy land to build barracks and prepare for training. What weapon should I choose?"
Zhao Wenbin frowned again. He thought about it and asked the smart assistant, Little Wang,"Help me formulate a weapons and equipment plan as well as a military establishment plan. I want it tomorrow morning!”
"Please rest assured, Commander. I will definitely prepare it and hand it over to you tomorrow morning!”
Zhao Wenbin went to sleep. By the next morning, the controller in his hand had already received the documents that the smart assistant had helped him organize.
"Leenfield rifle? Colt 1911A1 pistol? Bren Light Machine Gun? M2HH heavy machine gun?"
Zhao Wenbin looked at the four weapons selected by the smart assistant in a daze.
He knew about the Leenfield rifle. As an officer who graduated from the Military Command College, he had a more comprehensive understanding of the history of weapons development in the military school. He knew that this rifle was very classic and excellent. Zhao Wenbin was not surprised at all that it was chosen.
Only the Bren Light Machine Gun and the M2HH Heavy Machine Gun? What the hell was this? Why were these two machine guns chosen?
Especially since the M2 was only developed in 1933, right?
This Infinite War Machine had a special feature. It could provide any technical blueprints from any era. Even if you wanted the blueprints of the atomic bomb, it could immediately give it to you. However, another bad thing was that the weapons it produced were selected by scanning the weapons and equipment of the countries in the current space-time world.
Zhao Wenbin voiced his doubts, and the smart assistant Little Wang also gave him an answer.
"Mr. Commander, according to our current scan results, these two machine guns are currently under development. According to the characteristics of the infinite war machine, as long as it is a weapon under development, we can produce it in advance!”
Alright, there was an answer now.
"Good! Prepare these weapons and ammunition for me. I'll bring someone over in the afternoon!"
Zhao Wenbin nodded and went out to drive the ox cart slowly to Zhengyang Town's market.
When they arrived at the fabric shop, Old Man Li, Qian Mingxue, and Old Man Zhou were all waiting for Zhao Wenbin.
"Young Master, you're here!"
Old Man Li saw Zhao Wenbin walk in and walked over with a smile.
"En! I'm coming! Do you know if there is any flat land around here? Let's buy a piece of land and build barracks!”
Zhao Wenbin looked at the three of them and said. The three of them were so familiar with this area, so they should know.
"Young Master, are you going to train?”
Old Man Li looked at Zhao Wenbin and asked.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If they didn't train, why would they let them eat?”
Zhao Wenbin rolled his eyes.
"Young Master, why don't we go to the Great Eastern Ravine? The terrain around us is very flat. I heard that Jixi has already been occupied by the Japanese. We're a little close to the county town. If the Japanese come, we won't even have time to react.”
In fact, Old Man Li was still a little worried. To be honest, from his heart, following Zhao Wenbin was still very dangerous. Once the Japanese came, he would not be able to escape. Therefore, he hoped that Zhao Wenbin could arrange the training place in a secret place.
However, when Zhao Wenbin heard what he said, he felt that it made sense.
"En! You're right. The Great Eastern Groove is not bad. How about this, go down and recruit some masons and immediately go to the Great East Ravine. By the way, who owns the land in the Great East Ravine? Let's go find him and buy his land!”
In the end, Zhao Wenbin said heroically.
"Young Master, there's no need to buy it. That place is ownerless."
Old Man Li heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Wenbin.
"Good! Go hire some masons for me immediately. Go to the Great East Ravine and choose land. Then, plan to build barracks. Also, Qian Mingxue, go find those grain merchants and meat merchants. Tell them that I want to order a batch of grain and meat from them. The quantity must be large, this Young Master is not short of money!”
"Alright! Young Master, just wait! I'll go right away!"
