Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Although Li Yunlong is a rough guy, he also understands that machine tools are very important to their Eighth Route Army.

"It's Lavky." Li Jin said helplessly.

"No matter who he is, this person can get along anyway!" Li Yunlong said directly. It was too honest to send such a valuable thing as a favor.

In fact, even if the other party just sent some weapons, it would still be fine, but the other party just sent them the machine tools they lacked the most. He is really a good person.

"Wait a minute, are you familiar with that Lafki?! We are friends, right?!" Li Yunlong said.

I originally thought that both parties were just saving lives, but now it seems that Lavky must have regarded Li Jin as a friend, otherwise he would not have specifically asked the brigade commander to call Li Jin back from Taiyuan.

He estimated that if Li Jin didn't come back, Lafki might even go to see Li Jin.

"Well, we were able to chat pretty well over there." Li Jin nodded and said.

"Then you kid, please stop arguing with others, otherwise how will you get good things." Li Yunlong said, not because he was snobbish, but because they really lacked these things.

"Old Li, what are you talking about? When Li Jin made friends with Lavky, he probably thought that the other party could be a friend, not for other purposes." Zhao Gang said.

"Yes, yes, it's my question." Li Yunlong said repeatedly.

"However, if the other party can help get some scarce materials, it's okay. We will pay the corresponding remuneration, and we can't let the other party get it in vain." Zhao Gang changed the subject and said.

Although they can't let the other party give it away for free, they don't want to let the other party suffer.

"I have discussed this with Lavky, but it is difficult for them to get the materials we lack," Li Jin said.

The little Japanese made it clear that the German side was not allowed to sell some things to the Chinese side. It would still be unsafe if Lavky secretly sent things over.

"That's true." Zhao Gang nodded. He still thought too easily. Although there is no shortage of materials over there, they are also important materials for the war and cannot be exported at will.

"In short, the arrival of machine tools is a good thing. It's worth a drink." Li Yunlong said with a smile. In the past, they were worried about not having enough equipment and difficulty in development, so they were very frugal. Now that they have machine tools, they will wait for those in the arsenal to understand and carry out the research on machine tools. Use it, it will be much better.

"Lao Li, you just drank it two days ago." Zhao Gang said helplessly.

"Old Zhao, don't open your eyes and tell lies. When did I drink?" Li Yunlong didn't admit it at all. Anyway, Zhao Gang didn't see him drinking, so it couldn't be counted.

Zhao Gang shook his head helplessly. Li Yunlong, when he came here two days ago, he could smell the smell of alcohol from Li Yunlong's body. He was obviously drunk.

"Eh?! This word was written by the leader?!" Li Jin saw the paper on the table with crooked words written on it.

"There's nothing interesting to see." Li Yunlong saw this and hid the paper quickly.

"The word leader is a little prettier than the one written before. It has a bit of calligraphy style. I must have put in a lot of effort." Li Jin praised.

What he said before was indeed true. He had read the battle report written by Li Yunlong. The words were really difficult to describe, and he probably only the brigade commander could understand it.

Now Li Yunlong's handwriting has indeed improved a lot. At least he can recognize what is written.

"That's right, we Lao Li are just too lazy to practice. If we work hard, we will be the best in calligraphy in the world." When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately took out the paper and boasted.

"Li Jin, you..." Zhao Gang looked at Li Jin after hearing this. He didn't know what to say for a moment. This kid was telling lies with his eyes open.

"Cough..." Li Jin coughed lightly and pretended not to hear it.

"Hey, Li Jin, look at my words, can you sell them?!" Li Yunlong said suddenly.

Li Jin: "......"

Zhao Gang: "..."

"If I sell it, how much does it cost for a pair?!" Li Yunlong suddenly began to think that if he had no more work to do in the future, he might be able to make a fortune by selling calligraphy and painting.

Li Jin's eyelids jumped wildly. If this made Li Yunlong think about it, he might really sell it.

"Captain, actually Lavky sent two machine tools, and he gave one to me." Li Jin quickly changed the subject, and he praised Li Yunlong. Why did the other party really believe it?

If Li Yunlong went out to sell calligraphy and painting, he would not be able to justify it if he was criticized.

"What?! Two machines as a gift?! You still have one in your hand?! No, what do you want a machine tool for?!" Li Yunlong's attention was attracted by Li Jin and asked.

"Li Jin, you don't want to build an arsenal in Taiyuan, do you? By the way, did the brigade commander agree to let you take it?!" Zhao Gang also said.

Machine tools can only play a big role in arsenals. If they are used alone, they are not of much use. Making other things would be a waste of the effectiveness of machine tools.

"Yes, the brigade commander agreed." Li Jin nodded and said.

Zhao Gang didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this. The brigade commander's trust in Li Jin was truly unparalleled by many, and even something as important as a machine tool was taken away by Li Jin.

"Li Jin, this arsenal is not that easy to build. It requires a lot of materials. Have you got them?!" Li Yunlong said.

"Captain, don't worry, we have them all. When I was building a base on the Tianli Mountains, we found a tungsten iron mine and coal mines, and got the furnaces and other materials needed for the arsenal.

With this machine tool, I can make a lot of things, and maybe I can even make a gun. "Li Jin said.

He didn't make his words absolute. If he didn't get it done by then, it would be a slap in the face.

"That's okay, but guns are still quite difficult to make. You'd better get the bullets, grenades, etc. first," Li Yunlong said.

He didn't quite believe what Li Jin said about making guns. If there was a war, Li Yunlong admitted that Li Jin would be very interested, but making guns was still quite difficult.

Otherwise, their arsenal would not have thought about it for so long and never developed a gun of their own.

"I understand." Li Jin said, build it first, the gun thing is slowing down, at least wait for the technicians to understand the machine tool first.

"If you kid really gets the gun out, remember to think of me first and let me use it here first, you know." Li Yunlong said. If Li Jin really gets the gun, he will try it no matter what. If it works well, he will give them a new group of equipment first.

"I'm afraid you have to ask the brigade commander about this." Li Jin said helplessly. He took out the new gun. The brigade commander would definitely check the situation first.

"Don't care what the brigade commander thinks, you get it for me to try first, then let me try the gun." Li Yunlong said.

"That's fine. I'll let you know when I get it done." Li Jin thought for a while, nodded and said.

In fact, it's not a big deal. New guns always need to be tested many times before they can be distributed to combatants to avoid any surprises.

It's not a big problem for Li Yunlong to send someone to test the gun.

"That's it! Don't try it on others." Li Yunlong immediately agreed and warned again.

"No problem." Li Jin said.

"Speaking of which, after the brigade commander found out about the arsenal thing you were doing, he should have sent someone to support you, right?!" Li Yunlong asked.

Li Jin wants to build an arsenal, which is a big deal. The brigade commander will definitely send people to support Li Jin. The key is that there is a machine tool at Li Jin's side. If he doesn't send people there, he thinks the brigade commander won't be worried.

As for whether something would happen to the machine tool, Li Yunlong felt that this issue was unlikely. He felt that if something happened to the machine tool at the brigade headquarters, there would probably be no problem at Li Jin's side.

He really didn't believe that the Japanese could damage Li Jin's machine tools.

"Well, I sent it," Li Jin said.

"How many have been sent?! There must be three or four." Li Yunlong said. The technicians in the arsenal are all precious. The brigade commander probably doesn't dare to send too many. Three or four is already a lot.

"The brigade commander sent six technical personnel over." Li Jin said directly without hiding anything.

"What?! Six?! Damn it, the brigade commander is so kind to you. He directly sent you six of the dozen or twenty technicians!" Li Yunlong said in a daze.

In the past, he felt that the brigade commander was pretty good to him and helped him wipe a lot of his butt. Now it seems that the brigade commander was really nice to Li Jin.

The technicians were such valuable talents, and without blinking an eye, they directly gave six to Li Jin. You know, when other arsenals came to borrow people, even if it was just one person, the brigade commander was reluctant to borrow them, for fear that he would not be able to return them.

Li Jin ignored this and said, "After I return, in addition to finishing the arsenal, my task is to draw the Japs' attention to my side and try my best to strive for development opportunities for other base areas."

"This task is relatively heavy. If you need my support for anything, just ask. The brigade commander has told me in advance." Li Yunlong said. In order to make Li Jin's plan go smoothly, the brigade commander asked Li Yunlong to be ready to respond to Li Jin at any time.

"Okay, I will send you a telegram directly then." Li Jin said.

On his own, he felt that this task might be difficult to complete, as he would have to draw the attention of most of the Japanese to his side.

"Yes." Li Yunlong nodded. In fact, Li Yunlong also looked forward to fighting together with Li Jin again, because operating with the special operations battalion could minimize casualties.

"Speaking of which, the reconnaissance company rescued two surgeons on its way back to Taiyuan after escorting you there." Li Jin said.

"Surgeon?! What kind of luck did you get?!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but say. He first opened up a base and found tungsten iron ore and coal mines, and then picked up two surgeons. This luck was simply incredible.

"Then what do you mean, are you planning to build a hospital in the base area?!" Zhao Gang asked. Li Jin must have made a plan when he said this.

"Well, although the special operations camp has strong combat effectiveness and good medical care, there are no doctors who can perform top-notch surgeries. Therefore, it is necessary to build a hospital." Li Jin nodded.

It was not established before because there were too few doctors, and the medical team of the special operations battalion could also perform simple surgeries. However, if a soldier was seriously injured in the future, they would be unable to do anything.

With two surgeons here, the casualties in the special operations battalion can be reduced to a greater extent. Li Jin still cares about his soldiers. Since he has followed him, he can't ignore them.

Zhao Gang fell into deep thought. Li Jin's special operations battalion can be said to be the most comprehensive unit in the Eighth Route Army at present, and it is top-notch in all aspects.

"If there are wounded soldiers in the 129th Regiment, it's better to send them closer to you." Li Yunlong said, Xiao Yu's side is still far away from the hospital. If any soldiers are injured and sent to the hospital, they may not arrive before they arrive. It’s no longer possible.

But sending it to Li Jin is different. It is closer and the probability of survival is much higher.

"I have already told Battalion Commander Wu over there about this, and he should have told Commander Xiao." Li Jin said. He had already considered this, so when he went to see Wu Meng, he would informed of the situation.

"That's good. We are all our own people. We should take more care of them." Li Yunlong nodded. He and Xiao Yu were also old acquaintances. Naturally, he did not want to see the people over there suffering from injuries and lack of timely treatment. sacrifice.

"Captain, the conversation is almost over. I should go back. They are still waiting for me." Li Jin stood up and said. He wasted a lot of time and it was time to go back to Taiyuan.

"Okay, how about I send the Gray Wolf team to take you back to Taiyuan?!" Li Yunlong said. He was worried about something happening to Li Jin on the way. He was not worried about Li Jin, but mainly worried about the machine tools and the technicians.

"No, too many people will be inconvenient!" Li Jin shook his head and refused. He didn't want to bring too many people. The goal would be too big, which would be inconvenient for action.

"Okay, if there is any problem, please send me a telegram immediately and I will send someone to support you as soon as possible." Li Yunlong said.

"Okay, I'll leave first." After Li Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left the conference room.

"Li Jin came here with really good news. Fortunately, the brigade commander did not force Li Jin to withdraw. Otherwise, Li Jin would not be able to save the foreigner, let alone know about the massacre of Tongcheng." Li Yunlong said with emotion. .

If the brigade commander forcibly ordered Li Jin to come back at that time, Li Jin might give up the plan and withdraw. Of course, Li Jin might also disobey the order. After all, this kid is very courageous.

He dared to do such a thing as killing prisoners, and he killed hundreds of them at once. He was scared to hear that, which meant that the brigade commander valued Li Jin and did not want to see anything happen to Li Jin. Otherwise, Li Jin might be killed. .

"Well, I'm still looking forward to when the arsenal can make our own guns in the future." Zhao Gang nodded.

"It should be soon. We were lacking a lot of things before, but now the missing machine tools have been completed. I estimate that it will only take a few months at most before we can make our own gun." Li Yunlong guessed.

He once talked to Minister Zhang. If they had it, they would be able to make up for a lot of things and have the ability to make guns.

Now that the machine tool is available, if Minister Zhang can't come up with the gun, he has to go over and tell Minister Zhang that he's bragging.
