"Comrade Chen Qi is right. The Japanese joining the Sith Alliance and cutting off the transportation route is not entirely a bad thing for us.”
"Although the transportation line has been cut off, our resistance will be even more difficult in the future. However, just like what Chen Qi said, the Wei Nation's blockade also prevented the Western powers from interfering. We no longer need to consider the attitudes of the Western powers and can fight however we want.”
Which one of the Bureau Chiefs wasn't a person with lofty vision? They quickly reacted and said with a smile.
The 8th Route Army was no longer the 8th Route Army of the past. They already had their own guns and could fight the Japanese head-on.
Ever since the Phoenix Mountain Munitions Factory in Yanzhou was officially established, a large amount of weapons and ammunition had been transported to the front line every day. Coupled with the smooth development of the Spark Plan, the various military regions were also busy building military factories.
It was easy to imagine that the Eighth Route Army would soon have enough weapons and ammunition.
At that time, they should also blow the horn for a counterattack.
In fact, the Eighth Route Army had already achieved great results in their resistance. With the support of weapons and ammunition from the headquarters, the soldiers at the front line could finally vent their anger.
The offensive and defensive situation had changed. Facing the gradually armed Eighth Route Army, they lost the advantage and cover of the aircraft and tanks. The Japanese could only hide behind the city walls of the county towns and big cities. They did not dare to be as rampant as before.
It had only taken him less than a year to achieve such a huge breakthrough.
According to this trend, in less than two years, the Japanese would be driven back to their hometown and the Dragon Country would be liberated.
At the thought of this, the few Bureau Chiefs were also extremely excited. They said to Chen Qi,"Comrade Chen Qi, what materials and experimental equipment does your military department lack? If it doesn't work, make a list first. The headquarters will do their best to help you solve it. If it really can't be solved, then let our comrades work harder and think of other ways.”
"Thank you, Chief!"
Chen Qi was touched.
He knew very well how difficult it would be to obtain supplies and experimental equipment when the transportation line between Yanzhou and the Su Nation had been cut off.
It was no exaggeration to say that behind every resource, especially prohibited items such as experimental equipment, it would require the joint efforts and sacrifices of countless comrades to transport them from the enemy's territory to Yanzhou.
Each of them was as heavy as Mount Tai.
Chen Qi chatted with the few chiefs about the current situation in the country and then briefly expressed his views.
In the end, seeing that it was already lunchtime and there was still one person missing, he could not help but ask,"Bureau Chief, where's Minister Yang? Did he go to harvest wheat again?”
When the Bureau Chief heard Chen Qi's question, he could not help but say with a strange expression,"Old Yang, he just said that he went to the base to harvest cotton.”
Chen Qi was speechless.
..................
Zhao Village.
Yang Zhao and his comrades from the logistics department were pushing a huge man-powered tricycle as they went from house to house to harvest cotton.
"Auntie, do you sell cotton at home?”
"Eighth Route Army comrades, how much do you charge for a catty?”
"Auntie, we'll take 12 cents per catty. It's one cent more than if you sell it in town.”
" That's fine. Auntie, I know that our Eighth Route Army has always been short of cotton, so I specially planted more this year. I'll bring it to you now."
"Auntie, look at the scale. It's a total of twenty-three catties and four taels, two yuan and eight cents a cent.”
"It's alright, Auntie. I believe in our comrades of the Eighth Route Army."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
“.......”
Seeing that it was already noon and that they had only harvested less than 200 catties of cotton after going around Zhao Family Village, Yang Zhao's guard, Little Wang, couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.
He also knew that it wasn't that the villagers didn't want to sell cotton to them, but that they really didn't have it.
After all, the yield of cotton was really not high. Excluding the cottonseed, one mu of land only had a few dozen catties.
The land at home was not even enough to grow food, so how could he bear to use a variety of cotton?
Just like what the old lady had said, she was also supporting the Eighth Route Army and responding to the call of the Eighth Route Army, so she planted more. Otherwise, it would be good enough for a family to grow three to five plots of cotton.
In addition, they had to keep a portion of the cotton they planted for their families to make quilts and quilts. Otherwise, it would not be a good winter.
Yang Zhao couldn't help but frown.
He looked at the large ball of cotton wrapped in cotton cloth in the car and thought for a moment. He said to the guard, Little Wang,"Let's go to Li Village. I heard from the comrades in the company that Li Village's harvest this year is not bad. They should have planted a lot of cotton.”
Of course, even he himself did not believe what he said.
Because even a large village like Zhao Village could not harvest cotton, the other villages could forget about it.
But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Yang Zhao was not willing to give up. That was why he took the initiative to lead his comrades from the logistics department to go through the streets and alleys, buying supplies from house to house.
"Chief, Chief!"
Just as Yang Zhao and the guard, Little Wang, were pushing the tricycle back to Li Village, they suddenly heard someone call his name.
He turned around and saw Li Daniu, the soldier on duty in the logistics department.
"Chief, you should go back quickly. The comrades from the Military Industry Department have brought two large carts of military uniforms and fabric. They said that they won't let them unload until they see you.”
"I heard that the fabric is produced by them themselves. It's made of oil and coal. It's so beautiful. I've never seen such beautiful clothes and materials in my life."
Yang Zhao saw Li Daniu running over, but before he could ask anything, he heard Li Daniu speak quickly, not giving him a chance to interrupt.
What?
Chen Yaoqian from the Military Industry Department actually sent something over?
Or was it a military uniform and fabric?
Two whole carts?
Or did they produce it themselves?
Made from coal and oil?
When Yang Zhao heard this, he immediately waved his hand and interrupted Li Daniu." Alright, enough bullsh * t. How can I not know who Chen Yaoqian is? If he doesn't have any benefits, why would he send something to our logistics department? Why didn't you say that the fabric and clothes made of oil and coal grew from the ground?”
"Chief, it's true. When have I, Li Daniu, ever lied to you? If I really lied to you, shoot me!”
"Are you really not lying to me?"
"I'm really not lying to you!"
"Did the people from the Military Industry Department really bring over two carts of fabric and clothes?”
"It's true!"
"Are these clothes and fabrics really made by the military department using oil and coal?”
"Um, I don't know about that. I only know that the clothes and fabric are really beautiful. I've never seen them before."
After Li Daniu finished speaking, Yang Zhao stuffed the carriage into his hands and turned to leave.
The security officer, Little Wang, immediately followed." Chief, where are you going?”
"I'll go back and see what Chen Yaoqian is up to. I can't let him fool the chiefs again."
