Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard that he could get so many rewards at once. With this money, the Mawushan base area can cover at least two months of funding.
He couldn't help but urge: "Captain, hurry up and think of a solution."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "There is already a way."
Zhao Gang asked with some confusion: "Isn't there no way just now? Why did it suddenly happen? Tell me, what can I do?"
Xu Dalong did not answer Zhao Gang's words, but said to Lin Xueying: "Send another telegram to the World War II District Chief's Department, saying that I have thought of a way, but this operation is very difficult and requires a large amount of funds to complete. Let the World War II District The chief sent 50,000 oceans and 100,000 French currency, and I promise to destroy the Japanese Taiyuan Airport on time."
Zhao Gang said with some worry: "Captain, I'm afraid it's not good to directly ask the World War II District Chief's Department for money. If this task cannot be completed on time, there will be no way to explain it at that time."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Since I dare to say this, I am already sure. The king of Shanxi is too stingy. The last time they destroyed the Japanese airport, they only rewarded 20,000 French currency. This is not acceptable.
Since they have begged us this time, it would be too easy for them not to rip them off. "
The King of Shanxi was sometimes very stingy, so he was nicknamed "Yan Laoxi'er". But he was still okay with Xu Dalong. Every time he attacked the Japanese army at the airport, he gave him some money. Last time, equipment was given to an infantry regiment, which was a very generous move.
The reason why Xu Dalong wanted to rip him off this time was because he really needed money now. If he wants to develop new drugs, he not only needs to purchase a large amount of medical industrial equipment, but also recruits technical personnel, which requires spending a lot of money.
epzw/html/94/94777/"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
Not only that, Xu Dalong's plan to attack the Japanese airport this time also required a large amount of funds, so Xu Dalong had to take this opportunity to ask the King of Shanxi for money.
Zhao Gang was still a little worried when he heard what Xu Dalong said.
He said: "The Zhongtiao Mountain Command has already given so much money. If we ask for money again, will the King of Shanxi have any ideas?"
Xu Dalong said with confidence: "No problem, even if he asks for a little more, the King of Shanxi will give it to him. Think about it, if the Japs don't destroy the Japs' airport and the Japs send bombers to Fendong County to bomb, he will The money lost is probably dozens of times more than this amount."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "You will take advantage of others' danger and rip them off, but I like it."
He chuckled as he spoke.
Since the next thing required Lin Xueying's help and involved a large amount of expenditure for the guerrillas, Xu Dalong had to tell Zhao Gang some things.
As for the identity of Lin Xueying's military commander, in terms of the underground party, only Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong, Wei Heshang and others are really clear about it. At his superiors, Xu Dalong had already prepared the plan, and the brigade commander and enemy engineer Li Changshui also knew about it.
Xu Dalong asked Lin Xueying to go back first, and then told Zhao Gang who Lin Xueying was.
Juntong is a spy organization with a bad reputation. Its predecessor, the Clothing Club, did many excessive things to the underground party. As for the underground party, they have a deep view of those involved in military control.
When Zhao Gang was at Yanjing University in Peking, he was arrested by the spy organization Clothes Stoppers, so he had a very bad opinion of this spy organization.
Although the two militaries are now cooperating and the military reunification has done a lot to fight against Japan, it is difficult to change Zhao Gang's view of the military reunification.
Zhao Gang was surprised to hear that Lin Xueying turned out to be someone from the military command. His first feeling was that something was wrong with this matter, especially Lin Xueying, who is now the director of the Mawushan Guerrilla Confidentiality Office. This is the most confidential and core department. Lin Xueying knew all the secrets of the Mawushan guerrillas. It was too risky for Xu Dalong to do this.
Zhao Gang wanted to question Xu Dalong on the spot, but he was a very well-educated person and he tried hard to calm down. He believed that Xu Dalong entrusted Lin Xueying to take charge of such an important department, which was enough to show his trust in Lin Xueying. Since Xu Dalong can trust Lin Xueying, he must have his reasons.
When Xu Dalong saw Zhao Gang's facial expression, he knew that his inner ideological struggle was very fierce.
He said: "Commissioner Zhao Zheng, as to why Lin Xueying appeared in our guerrillas, it's a long story..."
Xu Dalong explained how he met Lin Xueying in the first place and how he cooperated with the military commander. The military commander sent Lin Xueying here to help the guerrillas train telegraph operators, as well as Lin Xueying's performance in previous battles and her contribution to the guerrillas. I told Zhao Gang.
After listening to Xu Dalong's story, Zhao Gang basically changed his view of Lin Xueying. Especially when Xu Dalong told him that he had already reported this matter to the brigade commander, Zhao Gang was relieved about it.
But he still had a question in his mind, he said: "Regarding Lin Xueying's future arrangements, what are your specific plans?
Xu Dalong said: "Lin Xueying agrees with the ideas of the underground party and is willing to work for the underground party. I plan to recruit her to join the underground party in the future. I am willing to be her introducer and am willing to guarantee her loyalty to the underground party with my own life."
Zhao Gang trusted Xu Dalong very much. Hearing that he trusted Lin Xueying so much, he had no objection.
But he was still a little worried and asked: "Director Lin is a member of the military command after all. If she joins the underground party, what kind of reaction will the military command give? How should you deal with these things?"
Xu Dalong said: "The development of Lin Xueying to join the underground party is secret and will not be known to the military command. Not only that, I will definitely find a way to get her out of the military command in the future."
After explaining this matter, Xu Dalong said: "My next battle plan requires Lin Xueying to do something. You inform Wang Xiaohu and prepare 30,000 yuan for her to take back to Chongqing."
Zhao Gang said: "I agree, let's arrange this matter."
After Zhao Gang left, Xu Dalong called Lin Xueying again and explained to her. Then he called Monk Wei and asked him to lead a squad of special forces members to escort Lin Xueying to Chongqing.
That morning, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Wang Limin and others drove to the outside of the city.
Xu Dalong pointed to a flat area and said: "Brigadier Wang, we are going to build a simple airport in this area, which can take off and land planes. This matter is left to your independent brigade to complete. Find the required supplies from Zhao Zheng Appointed to pick it up. This task is quite urgent and I need you to complete it within 20 days. Any questions?"
Wang Limin said: "Captain, please rest assured that we will complete the task. When building the airport, I will not only send an engineering company to participate, but also send a regiment of troops to participate in the construction. The task will be completed on time."
Having said this, Wang Limin asked curiously: "Captain, what are you doing building an airport here? We don't have airplanes? Even if there are airplanes, no one can fly them."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Just hurry up and build the airport. You will know when the time comes."
When Zhao Gang, Wang Limin and others saw that Xu Dalong did not reveal the details, they stopped asking questions and began to implement Xu Dalong's request as soon as possible.
The reason why Xu Dalong did not disclose his battle plan was not because he did not trust Zhao Gang, Wang Limin and others, but because of the need for confidentiality. The fewer people who knew, the better.
Mountain city Chongqing.
Lin Xueying and others marched hurriedly in the car for several days and nights, and finally arrived in Chongqing.
After entering the city, Monk Wei asked: "Director Lin, do you want me to book an inn first so that we can settle down first?"
Li Xueying said: "No need, just come with me."
Monk Wei and others followed Lin Xueying as they drove through the city. After about half an hour, they came to a courtyard. There were soldiers from the Guo Army standing guard at the door of the courtyard.
Lin Xueying ordered the car to stop. She went down and said a few words to the sentry. The sentry went to the guard box and made a phone call and then let her go.
After entering the compound, Monk Wei and others saw that the environment inside was very good, with neatly trimmed green belts everywhere, and small western-style buildings inside, which looked very grand.
The car kept going inside, and there was a small courtyard inside. There were still Guojun soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard.
The sentry had obviously received the notification and waved his hand to let him go.
After entering this courtyard, everyone saw that the environment inside was better. Gardens, rockeries, waterside pavilions and pavilions are all available, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is very spacious inside, with only a few western-style buildings, and the distance between the buildings is large.
These foreign-style buildings look much more spacious and elegant than those outside the courtyard. At first glance, they are the residences of dignitaries.
The car stopped in front of a foreign-style building, and a middle-aged woman with good content was already standing at the door. Behind her were some orderlies and male and female servants.
Lin Xueying got out of the car, walked quickly towards the middle-aged woman, and said affectionately: "Mom, I'm back."
When the lady saw Lin Xueying, she smiled and said kindly: "Xueying, just come back. Your father has been worried about you all day long. I hope you are safe."
While they were talking, an orderly ran back inside.
Soon a middle-aged man in military uniform came out. The mark on his shoulder turned out to be the rank of Zhongjiang.
Monk Wei and others did not get off the car. When they entered the courtyard, they felt curious.
They were a little shocked when they saw that Lin Xueying's father turned out to be a military officer. They really couldn't imagine that Lin Xueying came from such a family background.
Lin Xueying walked in while chatting and laughing with her parents, and a captain officer came out. He took Monk Wei and others in from another door of the foreign building and arranged a dormitory for them.
Monk Wei and others followed Xu Dalong to Taiyuan City, and they had seen the world. At that time, they felt that Zhou Mingde and his friends were in good condition.
When they saw the room assigned to them, they found that the conditions here were better than those of Zhou Mingde and others.
A squad leader asked curiously: "Squadron leader, I can't believe that Director Lin has a father who is a high-ranking official and has such a nice house at home. I really don't understand why she came to suffer hardships in our guerrillas."
Monk Wei said: "You have never been married, and you don't understand even if I tell you. Director Lin is interested in our captain. He is willing to endure hardships and hardships."
The squad leader smiled and said: "Squadron leader, you were born in the Shaolin Temple and have never been married. Do you know how to understand it?"
Monk Wei was immediately stopped by the question. He scratched his head and said, "Anyway, you just don't understand. I've been following the captain all day long and I've already figured it out."
A special operations team member asked curiously: "Squadron leader, we have discussed in private. I wonder if you have been a monk. Will you find a woman to get married in the future?"
Monk Wei said: "Why do you want to get married? It's too troublesome to find a woman to worry about."
The special operations team member laughed and said to another team member: "Li Chuan, you lose, bring me an ocean." After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards him.
It turned out that the two team members had privately discussed whether the squadron leader would get married in the future. They had different opinions and blocked it.
Monk Wei has now expressed his attitude and it seems that he will not get married, so the special forces member won the fight.
The special operations team member named Li Chuan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "You win, here you go."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the special forces member who made the bet with him.
In the next few days, Monk Wei and others lived in the Lin family. They were entertained with delicious food and drinks every day, and their lives were very comfortable. It's just that Lin Xueying was worried that something would happen to them when they went out, so she told them not to go out, which made them feel a little regretful.
This morning, Lin Xueying came over to inform Monk Wei and others that she would leave Chongqing and return to the base today.
Only then did Monk Wei and others discover that there were nine people returning to the base with them. To their surprise, eight of these people were blond and blue-eyed foreigners. It seems that Lin Xueying came to Chongqing this time just to pick up these people.
Monk Wei and others were about to set off. They saw Lin Xueying's parents coming out to see her off. Lin Xueying shed tears and hugged them goodbye.
Guancheng County.
At the gate of the Mawushan guerrilla headquarters, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Wang Limin and others were waiting to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.
Soon after, the vehicle carrying Lin Xueying and others drove over. Seeing the welcoming crowd, they got out of the car and walked towards Xu Dalong and others.
Guancheng County is a small county in northwest Shanxi. People here rarely see blond foreigners. They are very curious when they see those foreigners, and they gather around and point.
Among those who came with Lin Xueying and others, there were eight foreigners and one Chinese. The Chinese name is Yang Fan, and he is the translator hired by Lin Xueying.
Although Lin Xueying learned some English in school, due to lack of oral practice, she could barely read articles, but her oral communication was very jerky.
She brought the foreigners to Xu Dalong and began to introduce the guests she had invited to Xu Dalong. Translator Yang Fan was ready to translate for her.
No one expected that Xu Dalong actually started talking to these foreigners in fluent English. Everyone was talking very happily, and they didn't know what Xu Dalong said, but the foreigners burst into laughter.
Zhao Gang's English level is about the same as Lin Xueying's. He can probably understand two or three out of ten sentences spoken by those foreigners. He really didn't expect that Xu Dalong's English level was so high. He, a top student at Yanjing University, couldn't compare with others, so he couldn't help but feel very surprised.
Only then did he realize that Xu Dalong was hiding a lot, and he didn't know how many secrets he had waiting for him to discover.
Lin Xueying looked at Xu Dalong who was talking eloquently, with admiration on her face.
Translator Yang Fan was originally a little arrogant. After all, he came back from studying abroad, and he was a scarce resource in this era. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Xu Dalong's fluent English had already suppressed him. Only then did he put away the arrogance in his heart and warned himself to be low-key, as there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers here.
Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu, Wei Monk and others were already accustomed to Xu Dalong's magic. If someone said that Xu Dalong had three heads and six arms, they probably wouldn't find it strange. However, they are still proud of their captain.
Wang Limin, Gao Zhiyong, Huang Jingzhong and others originally knew that Xu Dalong spoke Japanese very well, but they did not expect that he could communicate so smoothly with these blond and blue-eyed foreigners. They felt that Xu Dalong was unfathomable and even more admired him.
Soon after, a meeting was held for the newly arrived foreigners in the conference room of the headquarters.
In order to make it easier for the cadres of the commando team and the independent brigade to understand, Lin Xueying was responsible for introducing the identity of the person to everyone, while Yang Fan translated on the side.
Everyone quickly figured out the identities of these foreigners. These people were from the United States and they were all retired Air Force pilots.
At this time, the Taipingyang War had not yet broken out, and the United States had not yet participated in the war, so the United States did not need so many pilots. At this time, the domestic economy in the United States was not doing well. Many pilots could not find suitable jobs after retiring. They were either unemployed or switched to other jobs, and their income was greatly reduced. Therefore, many people choose to become mercenaries, and many of them choose to work in China.
In the country, not only the military has an air force, but many powerful local forces also have an air force. They provide very good treatment to pilots from abroad, which is usually more than double the salary of these pilots in the United States. This is very attractive to them and attracts a large number of foreign pilots to come to China to try their luck. .
However, due to the war, the domestic air force suffered serious losses, the number of aircraft dropped sharply, and so many pilots were not needed. Therefore, many pilots are similar to Beidiao, waiting for opportunities in China. Since Chongqing was the capital of Guofu at this time, the largest number of people were floating in Chongqing.
Xu Dalong understood these situations, so he invited these people to work in the Mawushan guerrillas through Lin Xueying.
Since the Mawushan guerrillas are not well-known, people will definitely have concerns about inviting these Americans here. Therefore, Xu Dalong directly asked Lin Xueying to bring a large sum of money, promising that their salary level after joining the Mawushan guerrillas would be 50% higher than the salary level of air force pilots hired by Guofu, and they would also pay for each battle. There will be additional subsidies.
In order to show sincerity, Lin Xueying was also asked to give the pilots who agreed to come here a settling-in fee of 500 meters per person. In this era, the exchange rate of rice dollar to ocean was 2.4 oceans for 1 meter yuan, and 500 meters yuan was 1,200 oceans.
Seeing the identity of Lin Xueying's father and the fact that she was so generous, these Americans followed Lin Xueying here to try their luck.
Another reason why these Americans are willing to come here is that American culture worships the adventurous spirit of Western cowboys. When Lin Xueying mobilized these foreigners, she focused on the victory achieved by Xu Dalong and the Mawushan guerrillas on the battlefield against Japan, especially the various legendary stories about Xu Dalong, which shocked these foreigners and inspired their heroic complex. This was also an important reason for them to make their final decision.
The leader of these American pilots is named Bob, who is a former fighter major squadron leader of the US Air Force. When these pilots were in the United States, they were his friends, and under his organization, these Americans came to the country to look for opportunities together.
After the meeting, Xu Dalong and others arranged a dinner for these Americans, and a dance was held after the dinner.
At the dance, Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying danced gracefully. His superb dancing skills also won applause from the Americans, who gave them another recognition of this guerrilla commander with legendary results.
The dance was going very harmoniously, but suddenly an unpleasant episode occurred.
There are not many people in the Mawushan guerrillas who can dance, especially the number of women. The only ones who can dance are Su Xiaoyan and a few female nurses from the hospital who were later recruited.
In order to hold this welcome dance, Zhao Gang also specially asked Mawushan Central Line Zheng Mansion to invite several female teachers from schools and female medical staff from private clinics to participate in the dance.
Just as everyone was dancing the fourth dance, a woman's scream suddenly came out, and everyone was stunned by the sudden situation.
The music on the field stopped and everyone stopped moving. There was silence.
Everyone saw that an American pilot was rude to the female nurse who was dancing with him. The female nurse was very angry, and the scream came from her.
Zhao Gang and others were very angry, but they had no experience in dealing with matters involving foreigners, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
At this moment, everyone saw Xu Dalong striding over. He pulled the female nurse away, then kicked the American pilot to the ground.
Zhao Gang and others were stunned for a moment.
Although they felt relieved, they felt that Xu Dalong's treatment seemed a bit reckless. They wondered whether these pilots would refuse to cooperate with the guerrillas in the future because of this.
As the leader of these Americans, Bob became furious when he saw one of his men being beaten. He rushed over and shouted to Xu Dalong: "Xu, you are going too far, I will not allow you to fight." My friend." He said while rolling up his sleeves, looking like he was going to have a fight with Xu Dalong to vent his anger on his own men.
