To train the Imperial Association Army, it was not that simple to have an army that he could trust in a place full of devils. He still had more things to do. The third step of the plan sounded simple, but it was very difficult to do. It also required time to hone.
Locking up Wang Qifeng was more to capture the Imperial Association Army in his hands and prepare for his next step. If the Imperial Association Army wanted to expand and provide them with good weapons and equipment, Liu Chuan would have to fool the old devil, Eternal Tortoise Shiro.
At the same time, it wasn't enough to just lie. The Japanese were not fools. If you just lie there, no matter how good your words were, you wouldn't be able to see the actual effect. Would the Japanese believe your nonsense?
Therefore, he still needed to do something to make the third step go smoothly.
Sitting in the car, he was thinking about the third step and the second step. The second step of the plan was already in progress, but it was not completed yet.
In the second step of Liu Chuan's plan, it was not just a military factory, a steel factory, or a steel factory. It was a complete industrial base.
The strength of this industrial foundation might be very weak, but it was a starting point. However, to reach this step, it would take time to hone and test the actual effect. For example, the weapons and ammunition produced by these factories could be supplied to the North China army, so that the North China army would not need to transport them from the Northeast or the Japanese.
At this time, the Japanese would pay more and more attention to the arsenal around Xuzhou. The Japanese would also support them because they would no longer send troops to North China and reduce the military expenditure on ammunition supplies.
At this time, Liu Chuan could use other reasons to perfect the second step of the plan.
Just as he was deep in thought, the car stopped. A Japanese soldier with a radio on his back got out of the truck. Liu Chuan had been busy with all sorts of things during this period of time. Sometimes, they couldn't find him, so their team carried the radio on their backs and sent a message if anything happened.
"Your Excellency, Chiba Daiwa sent a telegram. Li Hongjian, the president of the factory's labor union, requests to meet you. He has some requests and hopes that you can satisfy them ~"
the Japanese soldier said.
The labor union he was referring to was a representative of the thirty thousand captives. Liu Chuan was afraid that the Japanese would abuse them, so he asked them to choose a leader to form a labor union to manage them.
However, he could not say that to the Japanese. Liu Chuan told the Japanese that there would definitely be some cunning people among the more than 30,000 captives. They did not have many troops. There were more than 30,000 people here. If they caused a ruckus, it would be a small matter, but it would delay the production of the arsenal.
So, we will select some of them to form a labor union. We will directly tell the people of the labor union how much weapons and ammunition we want them to produce this month and let them convey it.
If the people below are dissatisfied, go directly to the labor union. The labor union will come to us again. As for whether we do it or not, that's our business. In any case, we just have to reject the people from the Labor Union.
If the people from the Labor Union can't report back to those people, they will only blame the people from the Labor Union, not us. When a group of people from the Labor Union are almost done taking the blame, we can let them choose again.
It would give the captives a place to vent and not delay production.
Yes, Liu Chuan used this reason to form the Labor Union. The Japanese also thought that this was a good idea. These people would go to the Labor Union to cause trouble.
Li Hongjian was the president of the labor union elected by more than 30,000 captives. There were about 100 people in the labor union. These 100 people were in charge of the general management of the 20 districts. They were only in charge of the people. They could not manage the specific situation in the factory.
..........
Liu Chuan changed the route and drove the car out of the city to the industrial area outside Xuzhou. The industrial area was quite large now. Various chimneys of all sizes were emitting exhaust gas, but Liu Chuan could not care less.
At this time, why did he still care about environmental pollution?
More and more buildings appeared in the industrial zone. He went straight to a building in the southwest corner of the industrial zone. It was an office area with rows of houses. Each office managed different factories and machines.
For example, the factory that produced Type 38 rifles was a standard rifle factory. There were four Japanese technicians in charge of the overall management. Another example was the production of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. It was a machine gun factory and was managed by five Japanese technicians.
These Japanese technicians didn't just sit in the office. They also had to go down to the workshop to give technical guidance to the workers. If there was a machine malfunction or something wrong in the factory, they would be the ones to solve it.
There were three shifts of work in the arsenal, and these technicians were working in three shifts as well. However, one had to admit that the Japanese were very responsible and had strong execution skills. They were armed with the Bushido spirit and were really desperate when they served the so-called Empire.
In theory, there were three shifts, but in fact, they were almost all working in two shifts. One shift during the day and one shift at night.
Behind the rows of office areas were a few two-story villas. One of them was the office of the military experts in New City Yongyi. The specifications were very high and the conditions were very good.
On this point, Liu Chuan was very concerned. These military experts, whether they were Japanese or not, as long as they could build this industry, not to mention giving them such a good house to live in, even if they had to find a few women, Liu Chuan would not hesitate to go to the brothel to pull a few over.
The other small villas were where the military experts lived. The food was good. Liu Chuan's goal was simple. He didn't care who you were, as long as you could build the industry, even if you wanted to eat dragon meat, you had to get the chef to make a fake dragon for you.
Walking into the office building of the villa, Xincheng Yongyi and the others only glanced at Liu Chuan before lowering their heads and continuing to discuss the matters in the factory. Military experts were all top-notch technical talents. No matter which country they were from, once they were busy with their work, they would not care about outsiders.
Liu Chuan didn't mind. A Japanese soldier brought Liu Chuan straight to an office on the second floor. There were three people sitting inside. They were wearing blue uniforms and had a sleeve on their left arm with the words " Labor Union " on it.
Of course, Liu Chuan knew these three people. They were the president of the Labor Union, Li Hongjian, and the two vice presidents, Lu Rongzong and Chai Guangming. They were the former leaders, second leaders, and third leaders of the Yimeng Mountain area guerrillas.
He sat down on the chair and took out a pack of cigarettes. He smoked one and threw it on the table."Have a cigarette ~"
After saying that, he took a puff of his cigarette and ignored them.
