Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 416
The reorganization training went well.

After all, most of these newly joined soldiers are veterans who can fight well, and quite a few of them still use the previous equipment and basically do not need training.

What is relatively unfamiliar is to change the tactics to the "three-three system" of the Eighth Route Army, but it is not difficult for them.

If there is any difficulty, it is the issue of discipline and funds.

Zhao Gang is in charge of discipline, which is easier said than done, because some of the Jinsui Army are "two-handed soldiers".

These soldiers can't solve their problems by doing a few ideological work, but they have to quit their bad habits completely when they join the Eighth Route Army.

But it's almost impossible to quit like this all at once.

In this regard, Sun Ming also talked to Zhao Gang several times.

What Sun Ming meant was that this situation seems to be very common in the stubborn army. Many of the "Double Spearmen" are his old subordinates.

But Zhao Gang is very firm on this point.

"Comrade Sun Ming!" Zhao Gang said, "I hope you understand one thing. First of all, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are very difficult. What we eat, use, etc. are all public food and taxes paid by the people. For the people's army, every bit of public food and every tax money must be used to the blade, and of course it cannot be used to smoke opium!"

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued: "The more important point is that once you get into this bad habit, it will be difficult to adapt to the harsh environment of the Eighth Route Army, and it will be difficult to resist the coercion and temptation of the devils. In other words, it will be easier to become a traitor. , This is a threat to our entire army, especially the independent regiment is still carrying out very important secret missions!"

Sun Ming thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement.

He had already heard from Li Yunlong that the task of the Independent Regiment was to form and protect the Sixth Branch Factory... an arsenal capable of producing Citi's official rifles.

This is no small matter.

Five rifle production lines, with a monthly output of more than 1 Citi rifles... Taiyuan Arsenal did not have such a production capacity in its heyday, let alone such advanced rifles.

(Note: Taiyuan Arsenal produced 3000 rifles per month in its heyday, but it also has production lines for submachine guns, machine guns, pistols, etc.)
When he heard this, Sun Ming felt that he had made the right move to join the Eighth Route Army.

Because if the superior has doubts about him and his troops, it is impossible to agree with this army to join the independent regiment to perform such an important task.

And what Zhao Gang said is also reasonable, those "two-gun soldiers" may be okay to fight, because they go to the battlefield with guns in their hands, and the devils can kill them with one bullet or shell, and there is no discussion or temptation at all. space.

but……

If one day, they are captured by devils or contacted by spies, and they just take some property and smoke to lure them, they will reveal all their secrets.

Thinking of this, Sun Ming became cruel, and stood up and said: "Resolutely obey the superior's arrangement, I have no objection!"

So the "Double Gunners" were all transferred away.

They still have a choice, they can return to the Jinsui Army or they can quit their addiction in the Eighth Route Army. Only when they succeed can they join the army to fight, otherwise, they can only work in the rear.

In terms of funds, it is because the independent group of more than 1000 people exceeds the burden of the three stores.

In fact, if we really want to talk about this problem...it's nothing to Wang Xuexin.

The system can exchange millions of dollars, and it is no small feat to feed more than 1000 people!
The problem is that these are foreign exchange. If you tell Sun Erwei to buy hundreds of tons of grain next time, the cost plus freight will definitely not be worthwhile.

Fortunately, the independent group still has some bottom line... Li Yunlong organized a cavalry team to go to Dingbian to collect salt to make some money, which will come in handy now.

Coupled with doing some preparations by yourself and saving money, you can barely deal with it.

For example, when building a factory on Qiling Mountain, we opened up wasteland to grow grain and sweet potatoes.

Another example is buying cloth-dyed military uniforms...

In fact, the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army are all self-made.

The military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army are usually gray-white and khaki-yellow: gray-white in winter and khaki-yellow in summer, but they are often mixed because of the shortage of uniforms.

The gray military uniform was dyed with plant ash.

Spread the white cloth, spread it evenly with the pot ash from the kang of the common people, then pour water on it and step on it with your feet, or roll it with a roller. Become a gray cloth.

Khaki is doing the same thing with red clay.

Therefore, the military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army tend to be more white and sometimes uneven in one piece or another. This is because the original dyeing method is easy to fade.

However, the advantage of this thing is that it is cheap, and a military uniform costs more than three yuan.

However, more than 1000 people including Sun Ming would have to change their outfits, plus the shoes would cost four to five thousand, which is not a small sum for the independent group.

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and felt distressed. Half of the savings left by the cavalry team in the past disappeared in an instant.

But he also knew that he couldn't be reluctant to part with the money, otherwise two different military uniforms in an army would easily be misunderstood by friendly troops during a battle, which would be life-threatening and affect morale, so he gritted his teeth and put them all together.

Wang Xuexin also contacted Sun Erwei about the acid-making equipment.

Sun Erwei was a little embarrassed at this moment: "Wang, the devils have already made representations to us. They said that our actions are forcing them into a state of war!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Xuexin asked.

"It's like this!" Sun Erwei said, "We don't want to join this war, so we don't want to stimulate the devils too much, do you understand?"

Of course Wang Xuexin understood, but he didn't think Ying Jiang could escape this war.

But of course, it is not suitable for Wang Xuexin to discuss this issue with Sun Erwei, because no matter what Wang Xuexin says, it will be considered as an ulterior motive to drag Yingjiang into the water.

So Wang Xuexin asked very simply: "You mean, the transaction between us is over?"

"No no!" Sun Erwei replied: "Our part of the transaction will continue as usual, but other things include cooperation..."

"No problem!" Wang Xuexin replied: "But if you can't provide it, you know how we will choose!"

Sun Erwei was silent for a while, he knew what Wang Xuexin meant.

If Yingjiang cannot provide it, Wang Xuexin can only go to Maoxiong to seek cooperation.

But Mao Xiong has no worries in this regard. When the time comes, those ideas in Wang Xuexin's head...

After a while, Sun Erwei replied: "Okay! Wang, we will continue to cooperate, but it will be done in a more secret way, and you must keep it a secret!"

"Of course!" Wang Xuexin agreed without thinking.

Wang Xuexin thinks that there is no need to worry about this, because in more than two months...the devils will attack Pearl Harbor, and Ying Jiang will not only have no scruples in this regard, but will do everything possible to seek cooperation.
