Chapter 670
Doolittle only stayed in Yuncheng for two days.

The reason is that Yingjiang wants to take Doolittle back to China as soon as possible... For them, the sooner they return home, the safer they are. If they stay in the base of the Eighth Route Army, they may be captured by the devils. They can't even wait for the other pilots to arrive. They directly arranged a special plane to Xi'an to pick up Dolittle.

Wang Xuexin can understand this approach.

At this time, Doolittle has become the hero of Eagle Sauce because he led the pilots to successfully attack Tokyo. At the same time, Eagle Sauce urgently needs to set up a hero to become a model for the soldiers and civilians to boost morale, so Doolittle should not be allowed to have trouble.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xuexin put all his effort into persuading Doolittle... Even though Doolittle is only a lieutenant colonel at this time, he will be promoted to brigadier general after returning to China, and then he will become the commander of the air force.

As long as he is interested in reinforcing Huaxia fighter planes, it can almost be said to convince the Yingjiang government.

Before leaving, Doolittle shook hands with Wang Xuexin again, and said, "Thank you again for your help, I will seriously consider your suggestion, thank you!"

As he spoke, he patted Wang Xuexin's arm, and got on the car to Xi'an with several other pilots.

Li Yunlong looked at the car gradually going away in the dark, and said bitterly: "Xiao Dongbei, there is no one left. If they don't send us a few planes, will this business lose money?"

"Don't worry, head!" Wang Xuexin replied confidently: "No loss!"

The reason why Wang Xuexin is so confident is because he knows that Doolittle will definitely investigate whether the situation of the stubborn army is really like what Wang Xuexin said about "preserving strength" after returning to China. Obviously, apart from other things, he can even go directly to investigate the "Flying Tigers".

Then Doolittle will discover that although the various conditions of the stubborn army are better than those of the Eighth Route Army, it can even be said to be much better, but there is a situation in the stubborn army that "takes equipment and does not fight"... If the stubborn army only takes equipment and does not fight, yes As far as Yingjiang is concerned, it is to give equipment but it can't play a role, so what's the point?
Knowing this, as long as Dolittle is not stupid, he will choose to build aviation in the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong walked while chatting. When they reached the door of the office, Li Yunlong looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Zhao Gang mysteriously: "Old Zhao, show Xiao Dongbei the good things!"

Zhao Gang was a little dissatisfied with Li Yunlong's behavior, and blamed him: "Oh, let me tell you, let's sit straight and walk upright, and sneak around like thieves..."

"You don't understand!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Anyway, we're right about this matter!"

Wang Xuexin somewhat guessed what Li Yunlong was talking about, and it should be about the Xiaobeiling Weaving Factory.

Sure enough, Zhao Gang took out a roll of cloth from the drawer and put it on the desk, then unfolded it and said to Wang Xuexin, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this is the cloth we wove on our loom. Little Beiling, I brought some for you to see!"

Li Yunlong couldn't wait to hold the oil lamp and moved to the fabric, while stroking lightly with his hands, he said cheerfully: "Look at the quality, look at the texture, there is nothing to say! Now we are really him." Mother got rich!"

Then he glared at Zhao Gang and said, "I said, Lao Zhao, if we don't report this matter, especially the brigade commander, understand?"

As soon as Zhao Gang heard this, he understood that Li Yunlong was hiding from someone else, but the brigade commander.

But it's right to think about it. Once the independent regiment seizes anything, the brigade commander will inevitably come to get some light. There are only ten looms, which are the lifeblood of the independent regiment.

Wang Xuexin didn't feel much when he looked at the cloth, because he had seen a lot of such cloth in modern times.

But he knew that this was different in the eyes of Li Yunlong and others: hand-woven and machine-woven are two different things.

Wang Xuexin took a look, and then asked the most concerned question: "Political commissar, how is the output?"

Zhao Gang casually took a document and handed it over.

Wang Xuexin took it over and saw that all the above items were clearly recorded, such as materials, cloth width, labor, gasoline... The loom used electricity, and the Eighth Route Army did not have a power station, so it could only use gasoline to generate electricity.

Li Yunlong laughed beside him and said, "It's useless to see these. There are a lot of random numbers. After all, it's not about adding, subtracting, and subtracting? Let's count the big ones first!"

Speaking of which, Li Yunlong pointed to a few numbers on the document and said: "Each machine weaves 40 meters a day, and ten machines can weave 400 meters. One catty of cotton can weave 1.5 meters of cloth, and the cost is only 200 cents. I made more than [-] cents by selling it, which means I can earn more than [-] yuan a day!"

When he said more than 200, he even clapped his palms with the back of his hand, as if something extraordinary happened.

Wang Xuexin was a little disappointed when he heard this figure. He only made more than 200 a day?

These are ten machines!

But after thinking about it, I found a problem. You can’t look at the more than 200 yuan in modern RMB. This is the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. At this time, the base area has fully used the front area currency. The price of grain has stabilized at the price of seven cents of the frontier currency per catty.

Seven cents a catty of grain, how much grain can you buy with more than 200 yuan?
Wang Xuexin did some calculations, and then his eyes widened. He asked in disbelief, "Commander, you mean... the money you earn in this day can buy more than 3000 catties of grain?"

Li Yunlong laughed "hehe": "Is that so?"

Then Li Yunlong went on to calculate: "Based on five or two meters per person per day, this can feed 6000 people! How many people does our army have? We must expand the army, and we can guarantee to pull up a team by then!"

That's what it says.

In fact, five or two meters per person per day is not only enough for the Eighth Route Army, but also has a surplus. That day, they eat sweet potato porridge, and three or two meters is enough.

In addition, if the troops opened up some wasteland and planted some land, wouldn't they be able to recruit an army of tens of thousands of people?
Wang Xuexin was also happy when he heard this. This is a great thing: there are people in Yuncheng, and the independent regiment often seizes equipment. food.

Now that we have looms, the problem of food has been solved, so the expansion of the army is not a big problem.

At this time, Li Yunlong looked at the quality of the cloth, and said again: "Actually, I think this cloth earns more than [-] cents. Can our cloth compare with the hand-woven coarse cloth? Some people want it for [-] or [-] cents! "

"Old Li!" Zhao Gang slapped the table and scolded: "What are you doing, you really think that our army is a landlord who is doing business. If you sell like this, what should the common people who want to buy cloth do?"
