Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 2 Quinine Pills

Meng Zhige followed a soldier to the regiment headquarters.This was his first time in Zhangzhuang, so he couldn't help but look around at the nearby roads and buildings.However, what caught his eye was not the pristine and natural countryside beauty - he saw the earthen walls full of bullet holes and several collapsed and abandoned houses in this village.Several soldiers and the people in the village worked together to clean up the ruins and seemed to be planning to build a new house.

This sight made Meng Zhige sigh.Traveling from modern society to 1939, he said goodbye to modern life, his parents who gave birth to him, and his peaceful country, which made him very uncomfortable.If given a choice, he would rather go back to the modern society in his memory to eat and wait for death, rather than live in this war-torn era.

"I used to dislike myself for studying history. It was difficult to find a job and my major was not suitable for me. The best place was to be a high school history teacher, but high school history was hard to describe. Now it's better, I have traveled through time, and my major is completely suitable for me."

Meng Zhige shook his head and shook away the unnecessary resentment from his mind.If you really can't go back and can only stay here for the rest of your life, then these resentments are useless.

Your mind should be on the right path: if you can't go back, then start from here and build a modern society bit by bit with the heroes who protect your home and country.Although difficult, history has proven that this path is indeed feasible.What's more, Meng Zhige didn't just bring himself here - he also made a mistake.

Meng Zhige held up his backpack. This was what he was trying to do: a system that could produce supplies out of thin air.

This system can be bound to a force. The host's contribution to the force can increase the growth rate of system points. The points can be used to exchange items and information.

Simply put, the most direct and convenient way to use this system during wartime is to deliver supplies.The more you use, the faster it will be delivered.Of course, it's not completely without restrictions. For example, living animals cannot be produced.There is also a time penalty in terms of technology. If you want to create something that is beyond the times, the points spent will increase almost exponentially.

The most restrictive thing is something called exchange permission in the item category.Only after you use points to unlock the exchange rights for a type of material can you redeem the materials at will. You can also do it without unlocking, but the price will double and there will be a quantity limit.

After studying and understanding the usage of this system, Meng Zhige directly found the force to which the Eighth Route Army belonged in the list of forces given by the system, and chose to bind without hesitation.The reasons are very simple. First, the Eighth Route Army has a resolute attitude towards resisting Japan; second, the Eighth Route Army does lack supplies, and supporting the Eighth Route Army can achieve the greatest effect; third, Meng Zhige has no choice.

Foreign forces all have their own interests, and they cannot fight against Japan with all their strength. He can't just give up his identity with his country, right?As for domestic power, should you choose preserved fruit?A batch of materials was donated, but was intercepted by the superiors halfway through, and could be seen on the black market the next day.What will he do then?Is the system still in use?He is here to cheat, not to glare at this world-shattering bastard.

"The regiment headquarters is here, Mr. Meng, please come in." The soldier leading the way interrupted Meng Zhige's memories.

"Thank you." Meng Zhige thanked the soldier, then looked at the small house with a yard in front of him and walked over.After adjusting his shirt and clearing his throat, Meng Zhige reached out and pushed open the door of the regiment headquarters.

The furnishings in the room are simpler than last time: a bench, a table, and a metal file box on the table.A hand-drawn map and a towel hung on the wall. Under the towel was a washbasin, and a small cabinet stood beside the wall.There was a blanket spread on the kang by the window.This is all the decorations of the entire regiment.

There were three people in the regiment headquarters. One was sitting at the table writing, one was standing at the table bending over to read, and the other was sitting on the kang, unpacking a three-horizontal and two-vertical marching backpack.Meng Zhige opened the door and came in. Except for the writer who was still writing furiously, the other two people's eyes turned around.

"Oh, Mr. Meng is here, come on, sit down."

Hu Sheng, who was bending over to watch Director Luo write, showed a smile. He came to Meng Zhige in two steps, pulled Meng Zhige into the room, and let Meng Zhige sit on the kang.However, Meng Zhige's movements were a little stiff. After sitting down, he and Li Yunlong looked at each other for two seconds, then he put down the backpack behind him and asked the chief of staff: "Chief of Staff Hu, who are these two? "

"This is our new regiment leader, Li Yunlong. If you don't mind, just call him Lao Li. The person writing this is Luo Yuanfan, who is the director of the political department of our regiment. When you came last time, he and the political commissar went There was a meeting at the brigade headquarters, so I didn’t see it.”

After introducing the two people with a smile, Chief of Staff Hu turned to Li Yunlong and introduced Meng Zhige: "This is the military adviser sent back to the country by the patriotic overseas Chinese group, Mr. Meng Zhige. He is mainly responsible for providing material assistance and technology to the country. Support. In May, Mr. Meng gave our regiment 39 rounds of 5-mm ammunition, which were of excellent quality. Even now, some soldiers are reluctant to use them." As early as two months ago, in May [-], Meng Zhige came into contact with Xinyi Tuan.When he heard this famous name and learned that the regimental leader's surname was Ding, Meng Zhige thought it was Ding Wei. It wasn't until they met that he learned that the regimental leader's name was Ding Silin.

Li Yunlong nodded and shook hands with Meng Zhige.

"Captain Li, nice to meet you." Meng Zhige was polite, then opened his backpack: "This time, I am here to deliver a batch of medicines at the request of Commander Ding. Last time I had a drink with Commander Ding At that time, it happened to be the Xunyi Incident, and your army's pharmaceutical factory stopped production, so Commander Ding asked me to prepare as much medicine as possible."

Hearing that there was a batch of medicines, Li Yunlong's face was immediately filled with a smile, and his tone became more friendly: "Hey, Brother Meng, you're welcome, just call me Lao Li."

Meng Zhige took out a folded piece of paper from his backpack and placed it in front of Li Yunlong: "Then I'll call you Lao Li."

"This is?" Li Yunlong looked at the paper handed over by Meng Zhige and asked.

"This is the map marked when the medicine was hidden. In a ravine near Yunzu, a camouflage net was set up so that most people would not notice it. But I still suggest that you move quickly, as the nights are long and the dreams are long." Meng Zhige stuffed the map into In Li Yunlong's hand: "I should have arrived a week ago, but as soon as I found out where your regiment was, the Japs came over. I was almost caught by the Japs. I finally ran away and got lost again. I didn't expect such luck. It’s really good. After running for dozens of miles, I happened to be caught by your sentry.”

Meng Zhige told the truth and decided to ask Li Yunlong to fill in the delivery address in the future.This time I wasted a lot of points by redeeming additional camouflage nets and maps.

On the side, Hu Sheng said with a smile: "Good people have their own destiny. People like Mr. Meng will naturally turn disaster into good luck."

Li Yunlong opened the map handed over by Meng Zhige and his eyes lit up.It was a printed map, more detailed than the hand-drawn map hanging on the wall of the regimental headquarters.

While Li Yunlong was looking at the picture, Meng Zhige placed a large glass bottle in front of Li Yunlong: "Old Li, this is a sample. Quinine pills, fifty pills in a bottle. This time I brought a total of two hundred Bottles, ten thousand in total.”

Li Yunlong put down the map in his hand and looked at the glass bottle full of pills handed to him by Meng Zhige: "How many?"

"The same number as last time's bullets, ten thousand."

After saying that, Meng Zhige finally relaxed.He had exchanged the supplies and informed the Eighth Route Army of the storage location. Next, it was up to the Eighth Route Army to see how they would use the medicines. He had done everything he could.

With a smile on his face, Li Yunlong held Meng Zhige's hand again: "This batch of medicines came just in time!"

"Well, everyone's goal is to resist Japan and save the country, so you don't have to be polite if you need some supplies." Meng Zhige smiled and finally asked the question he had been suppressing since entering the room: "Old Li, may I ask where Commander Ding is now?" What's going on? Although he and I don't meet many times, we are still good friends. Can you tell me something?"

The smile froze on Li Yunlong's face, and the atmosphere in the regiment suddenly solidified.
