Code Name: Flame

Chapter 93
With reinforced concrete, the land was leveled, and large-scale construction activities began.

All the construction sites were carried out almost at the same time. American engineers supervised the factory buildings, mainly digging holes, and the engineering requirements almost hollowed out the mountains.Locally recruited architects from Shanghai and Chongqing supervised the construction of houses, including dormitories and small villas.

The security team joined the cave hollowing out team. They were all young guys. As long as they ate and kept up with the nutrition, they screamed when they worked, and no one cared about them at all.Rural children are simple and honest. They know how difficult it is to have enough food and a salary today. 5 people chose [-] of them. If you don't cherish it, you are really a melon.

With the purchase of shovels, hammers, iron brazes, cross picks, black powder and other things one after another, the scene of 10,000+ people working in the valley can definitely be described as spectacular.

Under the leadership of Chinese women, American women cook and wash for men, and the expenses are settled uniformly by the headquarters.Still divided into several teams according to the time in the United States, each team elects a captain, and the captain leads them to work.

The headquarters will post the workload every day, let each team collect it, and then it will be reviewed by the supervisors.Although there are still contradictions of one kind or another, with Xie Ke's strong pressure, these trivial matters will be resolved soon.

The coaches of the guard team also rushed over one after another. Chen Jia didn't meet them, and he really didn't have time. Now he can only sleep for four or five hours a day, and he has lost a lot of weight.Li Boyan took them directly to the security regiment and let them integrate into the team to participate in labor. He just took this opportunity to get acquainted with the regiment members.

After the third group of Americans arrived, there were more people who could help Chen Jia. Johnson was in charge of managing the Americans, Xie Keqiang was in charge of logistics support, Li Boyan was in charge of the security team, Song Keqin was in charge of the construction site order, and the architects each guarded one piece. If there is a problem with the quality hold them accountable.

There are also two high-power radio stations that come with the ship. After Xie Keqiang reports to the Chongqing Police Station, they can be put into use. In this way, their connection with Shanghai will become closer, and they can communicate anytime and anywhere to solve problems anytime and anywhere.

Chen Jia sent a list to Guo Shuyi, asking the United States to assist in the procurement.After Guo Shuyi read the list, he was shocked.It would be strange if you don’t get startled, glass production equipment, canvas production equipment, trucks, cars, tires, medicine bottle equipment, gasoline, various laboratory equipment, 6x sniper scopes... all kinds of things cost more than 400 million US dollars.Moreover, these goods are required to be delivered within half a year, and all of them will be shipped to Chongqing.

Guo Shuyi didn't dare to neglect, and sent Chen Jia's list to the United States, leaving Gu Minghua and Quinn to have a headache, anyway, he was only responsible for bringing the goods back.

He was a hands-off shopkeeper, but he was a troublemaker, but he couldn't eat well and sleep well in Chongqing. He was too backward, and he didn't have anything to ask for.In Shanghai, the feeling is not so strong. It is nothing more than a price-performance problem, which can always be solved.But it doesn’t work here, most things need to be purchased, and the price in Shanghai is too expensive, so we can only do emergency purchases, and eventually we have to import them from the United States.

Building a house is also full of problems. Although there are architects watching, rework still occurs many times.The people are honest and honest, willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, but 99% are illiterate, and their comprehension is not as good as 01:30, and they can't teach them many times.If you don’t know how to study, you should learn with an open mind, but those who are a little bit older will have a kind of inexplicable persistence, not to mention delaying the construction period, and causing waste.

They are all poor people. It is impossible for you to ask him to pay, and beating people is also prohibited. You can only change jobs and do some work such as cutting trees.

Because there are more people working, the price of food in the surrounding areas has risen.Chen Jia is fine, but the surrounding people don't want it anymore, why?You abruptly raised the prices, and they didn't get any benefits. Wouldn't it be more difficult for the poor?How to deal with it?You can’t do such stupid things as opening warehouses to release grain, and you can’t do it to help the poor. Ninety percent of them are poor households. What’s the difference from opening warehouses to release grain?
We had to urgently transport grain from Wuhan, and when a large amount of grain arrived, the market price finally stabilized and then fell back to the original price.

Liu Xiang came to visit twice, and once he came, he changed drastically. He watched the houses grow taller every day, but after more than half a month, many houses had already started to be capped.The old man was very satisfied, at least Chen Jia didn't cause any trouble for him since he came here.It has fed a population of 10,000+, and by the way, Chongqing's business has become popular.When the construction is completed and put into operation, this area will be the golden chicken that lays the most eggs in Chongqing, and as the actual owner of Chongqing, it will make a lot of money.

In order to ensure the progress of the construction, Liu Xiang specially sent a group to escort them, and even greeted the bosses of the underworld. Whoever dares to make trouble with the Americans will have trouble with him, Liu Xiang.Speaking as the biggest Paoge in Chongqing, the people below will follow everyone, even thieves stay away from this place, and illegal profiteers who want to raise prices to get a ticket have stopped, and obediently earn the money they should earn.

Chen Jia was not a stingy person either. The regiment had extra meat for dinner every day. The regiment leader and deputy were each given a Colt, and another [-] rifles with [-] rounds of ammunition.

This matter spread to Liu Xiang's ears, and he recognized Chen Jia's character even more in his heart.Generous people are always welcome, so they simply sent the only small steamer under his command to the pier to facilitate their travel.

More than a month later, the dormitories were all completed, and more than 2000 Americans and [-] security groups lived in them. The water plant also started to supply water for the first time, and every household began to use coal stoves. I got used to it, and slowly began to like life here.

The first bakery was born, the first ready-to-wear store was born, the first cafe opened, the first bar, the first law firm, the first American school for children... With these familiar shops Opening, Americans gradually smell their familiar smell.All of these are pre-funded by the headquarters, so that those skilled people have a place to display their skills.

According to their skills, these American men are all paid, the lowest is 100 oceans per month. As the construction continues to advance, after the factory starts, their monthly salary will be two to three times that of the United States. Prices here are much lower than in the US.In the future, most women will also go out of their homes and join positions that suit them, and their lives will be much better than those in the United States.

The people's hearts are stabilized, and the benefits are that the enthusiasm for work is high, and the speed of work progress is also much faster.

The hot summer is about to pass, and autumn has opened its arms to the people.

On the last day of the project, the salaried people were full of joy and reluctantly left the land.The security corps took over the defense and their recruit training career began.Chen Jia added some content to Li Boyan's training plan, mainly how to distinguish abnormalities, how to clear mines and explosives, how to track and monitor, etc.
Xie Keqiang, who has been busy for more than two months, has become dark and thin, but he is very satisfied psychologically.He didn't know how many people were involved in the organization, but he saw Li Boyan's little tricks.All the cadres above the company level of the security regiment should be recruited by Li Boyan from the organization. Chen Jia must know this, but he just pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything.

His next task is to go to Wuhan to recruit people and dig the corners of Hanyang Armory Factory and Hanyang Iron Factory.Thousands of equipment, according to Chen Jia's request, have to work three shifts, so it must be 2 people?It is estimated that half of the people from the two factories in Hanyang will be enough.

The days without electricity are like years. When it gets dark, there is no one else on the street except the patrol team of the security team.

Chen Jia suddenly couldn't sleep today, and he didn't know why.Wandering around in the yard, when I turned around, I saw Song Keqin sitting on the steps behind him, and was startled, "What are you doing sneakily? Why don't you go to sleep? Are you not tired during the day?"

"I saw that you came out for activities in the middle of the night, so I came to accompany you. What's the matter? Is there anything bothering you?"

Chen Jia walked over, sat on the steps with him, looked at the cold moon in the sky, and sighed, "I don't know why, I'm always restless today. I'm afraid something happened."

Song Keqin chuckled, "Everything is going well. Look here, it used to be barren hills and farmland. What about now? In a few years, maybe this place will be more lively than Chongqing."

"It's more lively than Chongqing, but at least everyone can live and work in peace and contentment here. Keqin, please ask someone to move the family here. There is going to be a war in Shanghai."

A few days later, the news came that Mr. Gu was appointed as the director of the Sichuan camp, and the base of the camp was located in Chongqing.

This is going to be fatal, as long as we meet, how can we continue singing this play?
