Chapter 283: Have The Central Statistics Bureau Handle The Sewing Machine
Our own younger sister’s guerrilla team now has only about forty or fifty people.
At most, it’s just a reinforced platoon.
For an ordinary small guerrilla team, getting even one rocket launcher is burning high incense.
Our own younger sister’s guerrilla team actually got two rocket launchers!
Even, this Hell Missile can be given one!
This Hell Missile has just been produced, many people came to ask for it, but none got it.
Even Regiment Commander Kong didn’t get it.
Unexpectedly, our own younger sister’s guerrilla team actually got one Hell Missile!
“What do you mean I won’t agree?” At this time, Zhang Wanhe’s voice came from behind.
Old Zhang came to the Border Region Arsenal to find Li Muzhi, found that Li Muzhi was not in the factory, but under the Guard Captain’s protection, walking the Emperor.
So, Old Zhang came over along the way.
He happened to hear the Guard Captain’s last surprised words.
Seeing Zhang Wanhe coming, the Guard Captain still turned his head to look at Li Muzhi: “Factory Director Li, are you really giving my younger sister so much?”
Li Muzhi did not answer the Guard Captain, but looked at the happy Zhang Wanhe walking over, and asked: “Minister Zhang, have you encountered another happy event?”
Although, Li Muzhi knew that if he really told Zhang Wanhe about giving those arms to the Guard Captain’s younger sister, Zhang Wanhe would ultimately agree, but he would definitely still think it was too much, at least Old Zhang would deduct one rocket launcher.
And now Old Zhang looks like he has good news, so he asks about the good news first.
Taking advantage of Old Zhang being happy, mention it casually, Old Zhang probably won’t care about the detail of giving too much.
“Haha.” Zhang Wanhe laughed and said: “Li Yunlong’s side caught another Japanese military industry expert.”
Li Yunlong caught another Japanese military industry expert?
Li Muzhi upon hearing this, said in surprise: “Regimental Commander Li’s ability is too strong, first caught Yamamoto Sakura, now another military industry expert, making it seem like these Japanese military industry experts are easy to catch.”
“Good luck, bumped into him.” Zhang Wanhe smiled and said, “What’s interesting is, Yan Kai also knows this Japanese military industry expert, named Takahashi Kōnosuke, he is a Japanese metallurgical expert.”
“Metallurgical expert?” Li Muzhi asked expectantly: “Then has there been a preliminary interrogation of this person?”
On the surface, this person is a metallurgical expert.
In fact, this person is a clue.
Since he is a metallurgical expert, he must have come from an important Japanese smelting factory.
If the location intelligence of the Japanese important smelting factory can be obtained from this person’s mouth, the significance would be great.
“Just interrogated, this person’s attitude is very tough, like a stone, completely uncooperative.” Zhang Wanhe explained.
The Guard Captain couldn’t help but say from the side: “Minister Zhang, you’re not wanting Factory Director Li to go verify again, right?”
Last time, Yamamoto Sakura was uncooperative, Li Muzhi went to verify, and ended up opening a gap for the political officer.
Now Yamamoto Sakura is undergoing modification.
If Factory Director Li goes to verify again now and opens another gap… cough cough.
The Guard Captain still thinks he is overthinking it a bit.
Although he hasn’t contacted this Takahashi Kōnosuke, from Zhang Wanhe’s tone, it can be felt that this person and Yamamoto Sakura are completely not on the same level, he is much tougher than Yamamoto Sakura.
Zhang Wanhe did not answer the Guard Captain’s question, but looked at Li Muzhi: “Xiao Li, Gao Xigang the regimental commander who brought back Takahashi Kōnosuke said, at that time there were two Japanese companies escorting Takahashi Kōnosuke, and the weapons configuration was also higher spec than ordinary Japanese troops, just from this, it can be judged that this Japanese has an unusual identity. Yan Kai says he is a metallurgical expert, see if you can find a way to confirm.”
“Where is the person?” Li Muzhi asked.
“Over at the interrogation room.” Zhang Wanhe pointed in the direction of the interrogation room.
“I’ll go take a look.” Li Muzhi nodded.
“Okay, you go take a look.” Zhang Wanhe looked at Li Muzhi, “This Takahashi Kōnosuke obviously has received anti-interrogation training, not as easy to handle as Yamamoto Sakura, if you can’t handle him, it’s okay, no psychological pressure.”
“Mm.”
Li Muzhi nodded.
Li Muzhi and Zhang Wanhe walked in front, the Guard Captain holding the Emperor walked behind.
Zhang Wanhe asked: “Xiao Li, what did you just say about giving too much, I won’t agree?”
“The Guard Captain has a younger sister who is a guerrilla captain…” Li Muzhi had just opened his mouth, not even finished speaking.
Old Zhang immediately nodded quickly: “You want to give some arms to the Guard Captain’s younger sister, right? No problem, no problem, just do as you say.”
Last month, when the Guard Captain wanted to ask for some arms for his younger sister, Old Zhang didn’t agree because it was indeed difficult.
Now it’s different, Xiao Li has set up the Border Region Arsenal, supporting a little arms and weapons to an ordinary guerrilla team is completely no problem.
Before Li Muzhi could speak, the Guard Captain behind was surprised: “Minister Zhang, you agreed without even hearing Factory Director Li specify the details?”
“If Xiao Li agrees, of course I have no objection.” Zhang Wanhe had an attitude of since Li Muzhi is in charge, I won’t interfere.
“Hehe.” The Guard Captain chuckled and said, “Minister Zhang, then on behalf of my younger sister, thank you, two rocket launchers, one Hell Missile, settle the account later.”
“What, two rocket launchers, one Hell Missile?” Zhang Wanhe upon hearing this, his eyes immediately widened.
Guard Captain, your damn appetite is huge.
Your younger sister is just a small guerrilla captain, only about forty people, and you dare ask Li Muzhi for two rocket launchers?
Do you know that the county brigades below can only get one rocket launcher, and you want two!
Not to mention you also want one Hell Missile, this Hell Missile hasn’t even been issued to the main force yet.
The direct lineage dozen divisions are fighting the Japanese, the Hell Missiles need to be reserved for emergencies at critical moments.
Li Muzhi said to Zhang Wanhe: “Minister Zhang, I offered it proactively, it wasn’t the Guard Captain asking for it.”
“Then, then, then also…” Zhang Wanhe originally wanted to say that it’s still too much, but since he had already agreed readily before, he just nodded and said: “Then no problem, a girl leading a guerrilla team to fight the Japanese is not easy.”
Li Muzhi followed up: “Yes, she’s not easy, send her a partner, best if cultured.”
Zhang Wanhe upon hearing this, glanced at the Guard Captain, then looked at Li Muzhi: “Okay, I got it.”
Zhang Wanhe is shrewd, he saw that Li Muzhi wants to support the Guard Captain’s younger sister’s team to develop and grow, otherwise the partner should best be cultured.
For a unit to grow, culture is very important.
Immediately after, Zhang Wanhe still said: “If she wants priority for weapons and ammunition in the future, she has to show results. Logistics rules are set, can’t break them.”
Giving two rocket launchers and one Hell Missile, if that can’t produce results, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Zhang Wanhe to continue favoring, others would say it’s unfair.
The Guard Captain quickly stated: “Of course, of course, Minister Zhang, if my younger sister doesn’t do well, I definitely won’t make it difficult for you.”
The Guard Captain was extremely happy in his heart.
The younger sister’s guerrilla team’s weapons are secured, partner secured, as long as results are produced, the team’s development is definitely no problem.
If the person problem can also be solved, then he can focus on guarding the Border Region Arsenal.
Even if died in battle, no regrets.
Following behind Li Muzhi and Zhang Wanhe, the Guard Captain didn’t disturb Li Muzhi and Zhang Wanhe anymore, pondering in his mind how to write back to his younger sister.
Zhang Wanhe asked: “Xiao Li, how is the flashbang coming along?”
“Can be made before inspecting goods.” Li Muzhi nodded and asked, “The equipment from Military Statistics Bureau side, can it really arrive on schedule?”
“If it can’t arrive on schedule, don’t even think about flashbangs.” Zhang Wanhe was very serious, then said: “Central Statistics Bureau side also wants flashbangs, I told them to get me a batch of sewing machines.”
Have Central Statistics Bureau get sewing machines?
Li Muzhi was stunned: “Minister Zhang, you’re not having them get military industry equipment?”
“Xiao Li, you haven’t run this household, your eyes are only on arms, I don’t blame you.” Zhang Wanhe said solemnly, “Our troops have developed too fast, Japanese blockade is tight. Last winter, many tragedies of frostbite even freezing to death in the troops. To fight the Japanese, can’t just have weapons and ammunition in hand, also need clothes on the body, quilts to cover when sleeping at night. The clothing factory’s sewing machines are not enough in number, must expand scale.”
Immediately after, Zhang Wanhe added: “These military industry equipment are not easy to get, they are not fools. These living equipment are easy to exchange quickly.”
“Just having sewing machines, still need cotton and cloth.” Li Muzhi pointed out.
What Old Zhang said is not wrong, this factory director’s mind is indeed full of military industry equipment all the time, wishing to produce more and better weapons for the troops.
Living aspects are indeed not to be neglected.
Just like the Border Region Arsenal can now smelt iron.
The first thing made was not weapons, but iron pots.
If not for the arsenal’s conditions not allowing, materials insufficient, the military water bottle should also be made.
Marching and fighting, physical consumption is high, need to drink a lot of water.
Besides military water bottles, tents for field camping, even rain hats and umbrellas, all should be made.
In short, fighting wars is not just simple weapons and ammunition, but also clothing, food, housing, and transport.
“Cotton and cloth definitely need to be gotten too, but step by step, first exchange the most important ones.” Zhang Wanhe nodded.
In the time of speaking, Li Muzhi followed Zhang Wanhe to the interrogation room side.
Zhang Wanhe reminded the Guard Captain: “This Takahashi Kōnosuke although tied up, still struggling fiercely, has some danger, you follow in, don’t let Xiao Li get too close to him.”
“Okay, Minister Zhang.” The Guard Captain nodded, looked at Li Muzhi, pointed to the Emperor he was holding, and asked: “Factory Director Li, should the Emperor be brought in too?”
“Of course.” Li Muzhi said without thinking.
Need to let the Emperor in to smell, let it remember the smell of Japanese.
In the future, if one day a Japanese spy sneaks in, maybe the Emperor can identify the other in time, avoiding disaster.
“Good.” The Guard Captain nodded, holding the Emperor followed Li Muzhi into the interrogation room together.
Zhang Wanhe did not go in, since Li Muzhi is taking care of the Guard Captain’s younger sister’s guerrilla team, then Old Zhang needs to quickly find a cultured intellectual, and have someone send the rocket launchers, rockets, and Hell Missile over.
