The 1.5 billion yuan was spent very quickly. Apart from the power industry, Su Qi also purchased a series of factories, such as soap factories, towel factories, flour factories, match factories, cement factories, and so on.
Apart from that, he purchased more than 10,000 tons of cement, which was enough to meet the various needs in the early stages. He also purchased more than 10,000 tons of steel.
As for sand, he only bought a little. After all, there was a lot of river sand near the river.
When he returned to the base, it was flourishing and everything was developing in an orderly manner.
For example, Li Desheng, the company commander of the newly formed air defense company, led the air defense company to garrison the airport and guard the entire airport. If any enemy aircraft dared to invade, they would definitely be shot down.
The Kang Fire Sickle Company had been expanded into a battalion. Other than building fortifications, they had also started to build roads by the river.
Building a new city was not a joke. First, they had to build roads. Fortunately, the road was paved with cement. In a few days, a straight road was in its embryonic form.
Six-story buildings were also being built on both sides of the road. According to the regulations, after these houses were built, everyone would be given different sized houses according to their contribution and work points.
Zhao He had already trained a group of people in the chariot company to meet the basic needs. The materials from the warehouse to the new city were transported by these young truck drivers. Although the speed was very slow, as time passed, they became more and more skilled.
After listening to Lin Yi's report, Su Qi couldn't help but nod. He felt that Lin Yi was wasting his talent as the chief of staff.
"Ah Yi, I think it's a waste of your talent to be the chief of staff.”Su Qi suddenly said.
"Ah?" Lin Yi looked at Su Qi blankly, not knowing what he meant.
"Your management is very good. Why don't you be in charge of the construction of the new city?”
"But I still want to join the army. I want to avenge my father.”Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Su Qi fell silent. Lin Yi was the kind of person who would submit to adversity. Many of his characteristics did not belong to war. He originally planned to be a peaceful and obedient citizen in the Japanese occupied area, but he resolutely joined the army for revenge.
His father did not provoke anyone. He rode his bicycle to work, but in the end, he was shot in the head.
It was just a Japanese sentry trying to see if the gun was working. It was this unexpected disaster that made him travel thousands of miles to join the army.
In the end, he did not even fight a single battle. Because he had gone to school, he was assigned to the officer training regiment and became a major.
"Don't worry, I will avenge your father and all of you. None of the Japanese who came to this land will be able to escape.”Su Qi said coldly.
"Really?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, it's true. Have I ever broken my promise?”Su Qi said with a smile.
"From today onwards, you will be responsible for the construction of the new city.”
"Yes, Guild Leader." Lin Yi faithfully carried out the order. Compared to the others who liked to bargain, Lin Yi was much more pure.
"Guild Leader, what about me? Give me some tasks.”Long Wenzhang said helplessly. Ever since he had the radio station, he had become a messenger who ran errands. He would pour a glass of water and deliver a warrant.
"What do you want? "Su Qi looked at Long Wenzhang with a half-smile and then said seriously, Or rather, what do you know?“
Seeing Su Qi's serious expression, Long Wenzhang also said very seriously,""Guild Leader, can you tell me the truth?"
"Tell me, it's just the two of us today.”Su Qi gestured.
"In fact, I wanted to go home at first. I didn't want to fight. I've been to many places. Beiping's Braised Tripe, Shabu-shabu, Imperial Root, Jinling's Dried Shredded Dumplings, Qinhuai's Moon Breeze, Shanghai's Runbing, Oyster, and so on.”
"What happened after that?"
"Later, I wanted to go to other places, such as Hulun Pool, Bell Pool, Hailar, and so on. But as time passed, there were more and more places I couldn't go to…"
" Right now, I just want things to return to how they were, so that I can taste the delicacies of other places…As Long Wenzhang spoke, the corners of his eyes became moist.
Hearing this, Su Qi sighed and looked at Long Wenzhang helplessly."" This is a showdown between two countries. It's not something you can do alone.“
" Yeah, that's why I was lost all these years. Until I met the group leader, I realized that there was still hope…" Long Wenzhang said with a smile.
"Me?" Su Qi was a little surprised and asked curiously.
"Yes, in just half a month, you've gathered nearly ten thousand people around you. Coupled with the organization behind you, I think you have a chance to return things to how they were.”Long Wenzhang said seriously.
Su Qi naturally knew what Long Wenzhang meant, but he did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he answered the question that was not asked.
"Let's chase the Japanese out of the sea first.”
Hearing this, Long Wen Zhang's eyes lit up as if he had expected this.
"Regiment Commander, give me a unit. I'm not suitable to stay in the command center.”
"Alright, I want to form a special forces unit. You'll be the captain, codenamed Old A.”Su Qi looked at Long Wenzhang and said seriously,""The number of people is temporarily set at 30. Equipment will be given priority.“
Long Wenzhang was pleasantly surprised, but when he heard that there were only 30 people, he instantly collapsed.
"Don't underestimate these 30 people. They are all elites, and they can fight 10 people at once. If they perform well, they can fight an entire battalion or even a regiment.”Su Qi said.
"Yes, Guild Leader." Seeing that Su Qi didn't seem to be fooling him, Long Wenzhang replied doubtfully.
After dealing with Long Wenzhang, Su Qi left the office and went straight to Shangguan Jieci's room. He had promised to bury his father-in-law in a high-quality mahogany coffin, so he couldn't go back on his word.
He had put in a lot of effort for this high-quality mahogany coffin.
"Regiment Commander, you're finally here. Didn't you want to bury my father-in-law in a high-quality rosewood coffin? Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" Seeing Su Qi, Shangguan Jieci said coldly,""Did you trick me into coming here and want to use other methods? Let me tell you, it's impossible. If you don't bury my father-in-law, I won't agree, even if I die.”
"A mahogany coffin isn't something that can be found just like that. We're already here. Why don't you pick a day to bury your father-in-law? I plan to build a cemetery in the area near the mountain to bury those who died in the war. Why don't you bury your father-in-law there?”Su Qi shook her head.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jieci's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Qi with a much gentler gaze.
"Really?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to anyone?"
"Hmph, who knows? You have a glib tongue and have deceived countless people.”
