The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 214 Businessman Boss Kong
After teaching the smoke-free stove technique, Kong Jie felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that the raid on the Zhengtai Railway was about to end, Kong Jie was more anxious than anyone else. He knew exactly what the Eighth Route Army would face next.

At that time, it will be real internal and external troubles.

The Japanese army in North China will shift the focus of military offensive, and even shift the main military force to the battlefield behind the enemy.

As for Boss Jiang, because the Eighth Route Army exposed too many troops and military strength too early.

After this raid, there will be no further economic and military support to the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army will be isolated and helpless, and may even face a mixed doubles fight between the Japanese army and the reactionaries.

The environment of the Anti-Japanese War has gradually entered the most severe period.

If we take the Independence Regiment as a microcosm, in the future, the Independence Regiment, facing the large-scale sweep of the Japanese army, will find it difficult to win big battles like Quxian or Yangquan strongholds.

It also means that it will be difficult for the independent regiment to seize a large number of them as recently.

To use a more vivid analogy, the independent group will soon become a wild child with no one to support them. Whether they can survive or not depends on themselves in the future.

As the head of the independent regiment, Kong Jie naturally had an idea.

While thinking about these questions in his mind, Kong Jie unknowingly came to the farmland behind the station.

Uncle Zhao, who is in charge of planting the fine-species potatoes that Kong Jie explained, is leading his own farming team to loosen the soil for the potatoes in the field.

Uncle Zhao is now more and more convinced of what Kong Jie said, that the yield per mu of these fine varieties of potatoes can even be as high as several thousand catties.

It has only been more than a month since the planting started in September. Looking at the thick leaves of the potato seedlings, Uncle Zhao estimates that the seeds will be harvested in November. He has never seen such a potato seedling. Such quick potatoes.

"Captain Kong, why are you here?"

Seeing Kong Jie coming, Uncle Zhao greeted him with a smile.

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Just come and have a look, Uncle Zhao, it looks like these potato seedlings are growing well!"

Uncle Zhao said with a smile: "Yes, I have never seen such a strong potato seedling!"

"But having said that, this is what it should be. During this period of time, you guys have put all your thoughts on these potatoes. They are fertilizing the potatoes regularly, weeding the potatoes regularly, and loosening the soil. Because the potato needs enough air to grow, otherwise it will not grow strong."

"According to this momentum, Captain Kong, it is estimated that in a month or so, the potatoes grown in this field will be able to serve your dinner table!"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Then I can't bear to eat them. This batch of potatoes is for mother and son."

After chatting with Uncle Zhao, Kong Jie left the farm.

Fifty catties of fine-species potatoes, after sowing and harvesting this time, the output has increased dozens of times in a blink of an eye.

Kong Jie predicted that with these potato mothers and sons, the next time they will be planted again, after harvesting, it will be a bumper harvest.

At that time, there will be too many potatoes to eat, and the food shortage problem in the regiment will be solved.

Even if the little devils blocked the base area, the soldiers of the independent regiment would still not be hungry.

If there are more potatoes, they can be made into potato powder or the like, and can even be secretly transported to enemy-occupied counties and towns for sale, or to do business with the surrounding Jinsui Army, earn money, and then buy back all kinds of goods needed by the base area. Living supplies and military supplies.

This is a long-term business.

It's just that the current time is not enough, and now there is no greenhouse planting technology, and it is impossible to guarantee the suitable growth temperature of potatoes. The next sowing is estimated to be around February.

After leaving Uncle Zhao, Kong Jie went to the bombing team to find the deputy team leader Jiang Dao
"Captain, are you looking for me?"

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Jiang Dao, you've joined my independent group for a while, right?"

"Yes, Captain, it's been almost five months."

"To be honest, what do you think of our Eighth Route Army? Is it comparable to when you were a soldier in the Jinsui Army?"

Jiang Dao smiled and said: "Regimental Commander, I don't know much about the other units of the Eighth Route Army, but what I do know is that in our independent regiment, not to mention killing devils, even this small life is better than my life in the Jinsui Army It’s more comfortable now.”

"Oh, tell me!" Kong Jie laughed.

"Yes!" Jiang Dao replied solemnly: "Our independent regiment is well equipped! Not only is the equipment good, but the food is good! You said that in the five months since I came here, how many times have I eaten meat? Back then when we were in the Jinsui Army, because our regiment was not directly related to Chief Yan, we didn’t smell the slightest smell of meat for several months.”

"In addition, the atmosphere of our regiment is good! Whether it is a company or a platoon, it is like a big family. The comrades have a good relationship, and everyone is as close as brothers. This is even more incomparable to the Jinsui Army."

"Commander, you also organized a study class. In addition to the intense military training, everyone has leisure time, and there are various entertainment activities, such as playing football, tug-of-war, chess, wrestling and so on. It was a fulfilling and interesting time. I feel like I'm alive every day."

"Good boy, I feel at ease with your words." Kong Jie patted Jiang Dao's shoulder with a smile, and said, "I'm going to send you to the Jinsui Army."

"What?"

Jiang Dao was stunned: "Head, are you going to send me back? I won't go!"

Kong Jiele said: "What are you thinking about, kid? I sent you to the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. You have a mission. I heard that you and a battalion commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army are fellow villagers. I know you, are you on a good relationship?"

Jiang Dao realized that he had a mission. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Yes, regiment commander, my fellow villager is called Qian Shoucai. He is now the third battalion commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. He used to be a fellow villager with me. I’m still from the same village, I grew up wearing crotch pants!”

"Qian Shoucai, the name has something interesting, what kind of character is this Qian Shoucai?"

Jiang Dao scratched his head and said: "I haven't seen him for many years. According to my understanding of his previous character, Qian Shoucai is relatively stingy, and he loves money very much. He even treats money like his life." the meaning of."

"Commander, what do you want him to do?"

Kong Jie said: "Naturally, it is to do some business. You said that their Jinsui army has better equipment and more ammunition than us, but with guns, he doesn't want to fight devils. Doesn't that mean they occupy the latrine and don't shit?

I just wanted to do some business with the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, that is, you, a fellow villager, and use money to buy some equipment from him, which can be regarded as his contribution to the Anti-Japanese War. "

Jiang Dao smiled and said: "Hey, leader, your idea is good. As long as you have money, I, a fellow villager, will definitely not refuse!"

Kong Jie said: "Don't worry, I will find a way for the money, whether it is ocean or French currency, I can also increase the price by a certain amount, and buying guns and ammunition from your fellow countryman will definitely not let him suffer.

Since he loves money, he must be smart enough to do business. Not only his third battalion, but also other teams of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, as long as they are willing to contribute equipment, I am willing to pay.

He can even make a profit from it, we have a win-win cooperation! "

"Well, in the past few days, I will first collect relevant information about the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and find out which area the third battalion is stationed in. At that time, I will arrange for you and the third battalion commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army Meet Qian Shoucai."

"As for whether you can persuade him, that's up to you."

"Yes, the head of the group can rest assured that the mission will be completed." Jiang Dao replied.

Kong Jie nodded, this is another path he prepared for the independent group...
