The beacon of youth

Under the questioning of Army Commander Zhang Guohua, an official of the Lhasa Kashag government said that there was indeed a weapons factory, but it was sealed up because it could not continue to operate.

The shrewd Commander Zhang Guohua immediately caught two pieces of information leaked by the Kaxag government. One was that the armory was converted into a mint, and the other was that all the original machinery and equipment had been sealed up, especially the second piece of information.

What does it mean that the machinery and equipment are sealed up? It means that these equipment are still in Tibet, and they are in Lhasa. Commander Zhang Guohua's heart beats rapidly, as if he has the feeling that the treasure is about to be obtained. What we lack is These are good things, but Commander Zhang Guohua, who has seen many big scenes, still controlled his emotions very well, and asked in a steady tone: "Where are the machines sealed up?"

"Back to the head of the army, it was sealed in the courtyard of the original weapons factory, and no one has touched it."

Commander Zhang Guohua couldn't bear it any longer. He turned to a staff officer and said, "Notify the reconnaissance battalion of the Independent Brigade immediately. The weapons factory has been found. It is now the Lhasa Mint. The equipment is sealed at the original address of the factory."

Under the leadership of Kaxag government officials, Commander Zhang Guohua led a group of people directly to the Mint. Damn it, I really can't wait, my heart is itching!

These government officials also roughly guessed Commander Zhang's thoughts. It seems that the PLA chief has changed his mind about the machinery and equipment that has not been used for a long time in the arsenal.

However, they are just thinking about it, so what if they change their minds, Tibet and Lhasa are no longer their world.

The Lhasa Mint is the largest and only coin production plant in Tibet. It can produce simple silver coins and copper coins. Unlike the production of weapons and ammunition, the production efficiency of the factory is not high, but because Tibet's economy is not active, the purchasing power of ordinary people limited.Mint production also meets supply.

Less than ten kilometers away from the main city of Lhasa is the site of the mint. A large area of ​​courtyard-like buildings are mixed with low-rise buildings all around. Because the main buildings are mainly adobe houses, so don’t It looks small but not conspicuous.

There are guards and guards in Tibetan robes in front of the door, and there is the roar of machines running inside, all of which show that the factory is still in normal production.

The accompanying government officials carefully introduced to Army Commander Zhang Guohua that because the People’s Liberation Army had just arrived in Tibet, the inland currency had not yet been popularized in Tibetan areas, so the entire Tibet area could only temporarily use the previous currency for settlement.All this was also approved by Chief Zhang Jingwu.

The official of the Kaxag government who was next to Commander Zhang Guohua was a mainlander and fluent in Chinese. He was afraid that the PLA general who held military power would be dissatisfied with the continued production of coins, so he carefully explained what he said Chief Zhang Jingwu is another great figure stationed in Tibet by the People's Liberation Army.

The peaceful liberation of Tibet adopted a two-pronged policy.The Eighteenth Army is the military side, and the textual side is the working group stationed in Tibet by the central government.The group leader is Zhang Jingwu.He is also a very famous general in the People's Liberation Army. That is to say, in Tibet, Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan are in charge of the armed forces, and Zhang Jingwu is in charge of reorganizing the Tibetan government.

General Zhang Jingwu is a well-known Confucian general in the People's Liberation Army, both civil and military.The prestige is very high, and the general who went to work in Tibet was personally ordered by the Communist Party, and he won the trust of the chairman.

It is said that Mao Zedong has a habit of people from the party and the army to visit him.Before leaving, they are never sent away, because the government thinks they are their own people, there is no need to be polite, and only people from outside the party and military will send them away in person. The reason is simple, because they are guests, so They must be treated politely, with the exception of General Zhang Jingwu, who would deliver them to the door in person after visiting him, which shows how much he attaches importance to this beloved general under his command.

Commander Zhang Guohua has no interest in understanding how the mint is still producing. What does this have to do with Lao Tzu? His mind has been completely focused on the sealed machinery and equipment.

The speed of this group of people is fast enough, but there are others faster than them. When Commander Zhang Guohua and a dozen people came to the gate of the mint, there was already a large group of people waiting there. Take a closer look. It was Zhang Jinsong who arrived with the reconnaissance battalion.

When Zhang Jinsong heard the news, his ass was on fire. His heart felt like being scratched by a hundred cats. He couldn't sit still. Neither the company commander nor the instructor of the company knew what was wrong with the reconnaissance battalion, so they were shocked and exploded.

The maneuvering speed of the reconnaissance battalion is unparalleled, even faster than the chief. If he hadn't known that Commander Zhang Guohua was coming, Zhang Jinsong would have rushed in with his men. Stuff is real.

If the army commander is coming, it is inappropriate for him, the battalion commander, to rush in first. Zhang Jinsong still understands this polite question, so he ordered the reconnaissance battalion to surround the entire mint. Let's wait until the commander arrives.

Good guy, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion started the battle instantly, and immediately surrounded the mint tightly, setting up all the light and heavy machine guns.

Zhang Jinsong and the soldiers moved so fast that the mint guards standing guard in front of the gate were stunned and their legs trembled. Several gate guards asked each other, what's going on?Why are there so many People's Liberation Army?

After the People's Liberation Army entered Lhasa, all local armed forces were disarmed, leaving only some necessary guards at key locations, but according to the regulations of the People's Liberation Army, these guards were also not allowed to hold weapons.

Commander Zhang was also very surprised to see that the reconnaissance battalion had surrounded the Mint tightly. Damn, the guys from the Independent Brigade came so fast.

At this time, more than a dozen people came out of the factory, and the leader was the director of the mint. The director came over with a face of panic and trembling and asked why the army surrounded their factory. The reason why the mint continued to produce was the approval of the head of the army and the government. Yes, it is legally produced.

Commander Zhang Guohua got a little impatient and asked the officials of the Kaxag government to tell him that the arrival of the army had nothing to do with their mint, and that he, the factory manager, and the workers did not make any mistakes, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The factory manager leads the way, let's go to see the sealed machinery and equipment of the armory first.

After an explanation, the factory director felt relieved. He understood that the head of the People's Liberation Army came to the Mint not because of any production or non-production, but because of the batch of machines that were sealed up more than ten years ago. The kind of machine that makes guns.

Things were easy to handle. Under the leadership of the factory manager, Commander Zhang Guohua brought Zhang Jinsong and dozens of scouts into the large yard of the mint. Under the leadership of the factory manager, dozens of people went all the way to several remote rooms. A few days ago, the factory manager introduced that the equipment of the weapons factory was located in these rooms, and no one had touched them for more than ten years.

Really couldn't help it anymore, Zhang Jinsong snatched a submachine gun from the soldiers around him, and without the command of the army commander, he stepped forward and pointed the butts at the door lock, and hung the gun on the door with a "click". A big brass lock was smashed open, and then the door was kicked open.

Zhang Jinsong kicked the two doors and opened them to both sides with a bang. A musty smell that had not been ventilated for a long time came to his face. This kick was so strong that one door was almost kicked down.

Commander Zhang Guohua said cursingly: "Zhang Jinsong, don't you fucking know how to be more civilized? I haven't given you an order yet. Why are you so anxious? It seems that your skills are quite slippery. Are you used to it before?"

The army commander was indeed right. When it comes to cleaning the battlefield and grabbing things, the Independent Brigade is not as fierce as usual. Are you praising me or criticizing me! Aren't we too anxious?"

Army Commander Zhang Guohua laughed loudly: "Okay, even if you are reasonable, come and open all the windows and doors of these rooms, I want to see what good things are inside."

After the army commander spoke, dozens of people came up with a bang, and one guy opened all the windows and doors of these houses, and the bright light shone in.

The large object covered by the grass-green canvas that came into view, although I can't see what is under the canvas, but I can tell from the size that it must not be small.

A few large pieces of canvas were lifted, and the dark machine underneath was impressive. Although it hadn’t been used for more than ten years, because a lot of butter was smeared on the key points, there was no sign of rust, and everything showed Well, these are perfectly functioning devices.

Not to mention, although the work efficiency of the Kaxag government in Tibet is not very good, it still does a good job of sealing up these machines and equipment, and everything is no different from ten years ago.

They are all good things, they are all treasures, so many treasures have been lying here for more than ten years, why?Just because they knew that our People's Liberation Army was coming, they lay there and slept for a while. Now they are well, and the day when they will rejuvenate is coming.

Zhang Jinsong jumped on it all at once, he didn't care about the butter everywhere on the machine, he fumbled around with his hands, and muttered while touching his mouth: "It's all ours, it's all ours, it's all treasures, it's all treasures. "

Commander Zhang Guohua finds it funny. Of course he knows how valuable these machines and equipment are. As a senior commander, he knows that although these machines and equipment have been used for more than ten years, they are still the best at this stage because of the backward industrial strength of New China. The stuff is also the most advanced equipment.
