"If that's the case, I have no objections.”
Knowing that Secretary Zhu was not seeking special treatment, but preferential treatment for all workers, Li Yan did not have any objections. After all, although he was an industrial commissioner and a member of the committee.
However, in his heart, he still felt that he was still a worker. Since it was a preferential treatment for workers, there was no reason for him not to have it.
"That's right. This isn't specially for you, Commissioner Li. It's for all the workers. Ask the canteen to steam two more baskets of steamed buns at noon.”
Seeing that Li Yan had no objections, Secretary Zhu began to consider the issue of credentials.
"By the way, Commissioner Li, your ID card might take two days to be processed. How about this, I'll write you a note. Just treat it as an ID card.”
Secretary Zhu picked up a pen and started to write Li Yan's certificate on the paper. Because it was only a short-term transition, the note only wrote the position of Li Yan's industrial commissioner and hoped that the township below would give him the necessary help.
"By the way, Commissioner Li, where are you going this time?”
After writing the note, Secretary Zhu asked about the scope of Li Yan's research.
"It's very close. I plan to go north along the Meng River to see if there's a place suitable for building a power plant. After I find it, I'll go along the mountain to look at the few villages in the north. I'll also look at the route of the power lines and the specifics of the factories in the industrial zone.”
Li Yan took the paper and put it in his pocket. He didn't feel that it was dangerous. In his opinion, this was just a short journey. The whole journey was less than 20 kilometers. When he was selecting the location of the Ford branch, he had almost traveled all over New Mexico.
"In this case, the basic safety is still relatively reliable. As long as we don't enter the county, there won't be too much danger. With Xu Chang and Hu Rui watching over us, there won't be any big problems. By the way, Commissioner Li, do you need to ride a horse this time?”
Commander Zhao, who was more skilled in military affairs, began to give Li Yan his opinions on safety.
"No need. One is relatively close. Besides, we have to take the mountain road and the river. How about this, I'll go back and tidy up first. Oh, I have a letter for my family. My mom doesn't know that I'm here yet. Now that I've decided to build an industrial zone here, it's time to inform my family. You just need to hand this letter and report to the military attaché in China.”
"By the way, let me talk about my personal plan for the next step. I personally hope that after the research is completed, that is, five to seven days later, you can provide about 500 human resources. After all, building a hydraulic power station still requires a lot of manpower.”
After saying that, Li Yan handed the letter to Secretary Zhu, then said goodbye to the committee members and went back to the office to pack his luggage.
After Li Yan returned, Secretary Zhu and the others in the office started a new round of discussion.
"Commander Zhao, what do you think about this?”
Secretary Zhu was a little shocked when he found out that there was a total of 2 million USD in financial assistance. Moreover, Li Yan was here just now, so it was not convenient to discuss some things.
Now that Li Yan had returned, the few of them could discuss this matter properly. After all, for now, it was very easy to accept assistance. Who wouldn't want 2 million USD? But what about after receiving assistance? What about the attitudes of the others?
"I personally think that it can be used, or rather, it must be used. Everyone knows that our column is undergoing reorganization. After reorganization, about 10,000 people will be eliminated. How to arrange these people after elimination is a big problem. They have all fired. If we really let them go back without doing anything, there may be some hidden dangers.”
"Originally, we planned to let them go back after a certain period of training, but now if we really want to build an industrial zone in Green Camel Town, they will be natural workers. Moreover, most of them are guerrillas from various places.”
These two identities were very good jobs in the past.
"It's just that with the arrival of the Japanese army, they lost their job opportunities and sources of income. In fact, most of them were eliminated because of their age. To be honest, I didn't feel good about letting them go back like this. Some of them would definitely suffer revenge from the Japanese authorities after they returned.”
"Now there is an opportunity. Although they have put down their guns, they can make guns for the soldiers at the front line. I can imagine that their working attitude will be very hard. In addition, the reorganized Shandong Brigade would have 55,000 men, but they were extremely short of guns and ammunition. It was foreseeable that they might not even be able to have a rifle for each person in the future battles. Those with rifles would not be able to have more than three rounds of ammunition.”
"We have discussed this before. In the summer of next year, the Japanese army will definitely start to attack our base. At that time, they will definitely focus on Fei County. At that time, our arsenal in Fei County will have to be moved. Once we start moving, it may be constantly moving because the Japanese army will not be able to let the Fei County Arsenal provide us with support.”
"At the very most, we only have about a year to develop and store ammunition. Now, we can produce 8000 bullets per month. Adding on the previous inventory and possible increase in production, we might be able to save up 120,000 bullets in the end. 120,000 bullets, the 105th Division and the column combined can only get four bullets per person. At that time, our soldiers will have to exchange their lives for the enemy's bullets. Now, there is a chance to change this situation. We must seize it.”
Commander Zhao did not think as much as Secretary Zhu. After all, no matter what happened in the future, the most important thing now was to seize this important period of development to develop themselves and strengthen the industrial base.
"Yes, Secretary Zhu. Before the war, Director Gu proposed that we need to seek assistance from other countries for our war. Later, in a conversation with reporter Snow in 1936, he emphasized that 'Japan's invasion not only poses a threat to China, but also to world peace, especially the peace of the Pacific Ocean.'And the idea that America's eastern interests were closely linked to the resistance against Japanese imperialism', and the current situation just proved Secretary Gu's judgment.”
Now they have decided to support us because of the launch of the new Japanese battleships, although a small part of it has been given to us. Therefore, my personal suggestion is to accept it, but at the same time, send a message to the North Bureau, report what we know to Secretary Gu, and listen to Director Gu's opinion. We can't make such a big decision, but I personally feel that Director Gu should agree to this matter. I will draft a telegram with the details later, and then organize our committee's opinions and send it over. I believe Yan 'an will definitely agree.”
Governor Li didn't think that the Northern Bureau would object to this matter. After all, as he said, they had already thought of the current situation to a certain extent five years ago. Now that the benefits that they had expected five years ago had finally fallen, there was no reason not to eat them. Not to mention that they had only expected support. Although there was no support now, there was a big and thick pie like an industrial zone falling on their heads. Wouldn't it be too wrong not to eat it?
