...But he said that a few minutes ago, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie walked out of the inner room and walked to a corner of the courtyard.
Li Yunlong was only thinking about the batch of equipment on his list now, and asked directly: "Old Kong, if you have anything to say, you have to call me out alone. I have made an agreement with you. Even if you call me out, I will You can’t live without me in that batch of equipment.”
Kong Jie nodded and glanced in the direction of Ding Wei in the room. As if he was afraid that Ding Wei would overhear something, he deliberately lowered his voice, put his hand over his mouth, and said to Li Yunlong:
"Old Li, you have always been a visionary and a person who does big things. Are these three melons and two jujubes of equipment worth your clamoring over? I have a big deal now, and I am asking if you are interested."
Li Yunlong was stunned.
What kind of secret is so mysterious that you still deliberately hide it from Old Ding?
"Lao Kong, I don't have much education, so don't bully me."
Li Yunlong was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Over the past year or so, he had taken too many scapegoats for Kong Jie.
Kong Jie said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense. You, Lao Li, have always only taken advantage and not suffered any losses. Now you are a cultured person who has learned cultural knowledge. I can scare you."
"Then what did you mean by what you said just now?" Li Yunlong asked, but he made up his mind. Regardless of what Lao Kong said next, even if he said it was ridiculous, we had to get the equipment back.
Kong Jie said: "Old Li, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want to have a full meal or just eat every meal?"
Li Yunlong: "..."
Damn it, why do these words sound familiar?
"What does it mean to have a full meal?"
"I will return the equipment I promised you to you, Lao Li. But from now on, we will be clean, and you, Lao Li, will be able to take advantage of this time."
"What are you talking about? Lao Kong, we are not taking advantage of you. This is the equipment we promised you back then."
Kong Jie did not answer, and then asked: "Old Li, you don't want to know, what does this full meal mean?"
"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong asked.
Kong Jie said: "Old Li, let me ask you, even if the equipment of your new second regiment has developed quite well in the past six months, can your regiment ensure a continuous supply of bullets?"
Li Yunlong shook his head, "No."
"Can your New Second Regiment produce some artillery shells of corresponding caliber independently?"
Li Yunlong still shook his head. .
"Can your New Second Regiment develop various new landmines that adapt to the environment?"
Li Yunlong was silent.
Kong Jie said: "But my independent regiment can use the collected shells to make reloading bullets, and the collected copper coins can produce red-tipped bullets; from mortar shells to grenade grenades, we can produce them independently. ; Various types of landmines adapted to various environments, including wooden box mines, ceramic mines, mother-and-bone mines, etc.
I'm not bragging. Whatever our headquarters arsenal can make, our independent regiment's armory can make. It's just a matter of scale.
In terms of technology, in terms of the headquarters arsenal, we even have to exchange and learn from time to time with the military talents of my independent regiment's repair shop! "
Li Yunlong seemed to understand and said angrily: "Old Kong, I said you didn't mean to show off to me, right?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Lao Li, why are you so anxious? Just listen to what I have to say."
"The repair shop of my independent regiment has been developed for more than a year. In addition, some equipment obtained from the light arsenal that was sent to the hinterland of the North China Security Army. No matter in terms of equipment or technology, my repair shop is very good. Short."
"As long as there are suitable materials, all kinds of suitable equipment and ammunition can basically be made."
"I issued an order some time ago. Whether it is local troops, militia troops, or even surrounding regiments, such as Lao Feng's fifth regiment, as long as they send me raw materials, my repair shop will take over the production task and then send them back. Give them some equipment and ammunition.”
"In the end, the rails, wires, bullet casings, pig iron sent by all parties, as well as the various copper utensils, copper coins, etc. collected and sent by everyone, exceeded my imagination. For this reason, I ordered two more to be set aside at the regiment headquarters. The yard is used as a warehouse, and there is almost no room for it. With so many materials, the manpower of my repair shop is simply too busy."
"Not long ago, another news came from Wang An, the enemy's Minister of Industry, saying that the Japanese had made breakthrough progress in a certain iron mine. There was a platoon of puppet soldiers who were willing to surrender secretly and could take over the task of supervising the mining. Iron ore, secretly transport part of it to my independent group."
"Now, there are even more raw materials for the production of equipment and ammunition piled up in my independent regiment. My head of the Logistics Department, Dong San, is almost overwhelmed."
"Later I thought about it, with so many raw materials and such a large amount of business, even one person in my independent group could not afford it."
"With such a good thing, who can I think of? Of course I think of you, Lao Li, first!"
Seeing Li Yunlong's eyes light up when he heard this, Kong Jie struck while the iron was hot:
"What do you mean? It's very simple. The repair shop of your New Second Regiment has been developing for a little half a year. I heard that it is developing very well. I want our military industry forces on both sides to join together to digest this batch of raw materials. Once the equipment and ammunition are produced, we will equip them to our respective teams."
"For example, your New Second Regiment, in addition to the repair shop to help with production, you can also organize blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, and even some women and children in your base area. Of course, we ask the villagers to help, and they are paid normally. .”
"Blacksmiths don't know how to produce cannonballs, but they can pull back rails, copper wires, etc., and dissolve them back into the furnace. This can always be done, right?"
"Women and children don't have much strength, but if they are only responsible for producing the wooden handles needed for wooden handle grenades, this can always improve efficiency, right?"
"In the past, when we produced equipment and ammunition, we had to control all the processes, one by one, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient."
"But I thought about it, what if we could separate some of the processes that are not very closely related, conduct them separately, and finally assemble them for production? Wouldn't the efficiency be much faster?"
"The folks in the base area can also earn some wages from it. We have equipment and ammunition. This is something that is of great benefit to both sides. Why not do it?"
Following Kong Jie's narration, Li Yunlong was completely moved.
"Lao Kong, what do you mean?"
Kong Jie said: "As long as you are willing to cooperate, Lao Li, I will immediately send someone to send the raw materials I have accumulated to produce various equipment and ammunition to your New Second Regiment. At that time, both of us will plan in detail the production processes we are responsible for. , divide labor for production, improve efficiency, and finally assemble and produce various equipment and ammunition in a unified manner."
"When the time comes, whether it is my independent regiment or your new second regiment, Lao Li, we will be able to independently produce grenades, artillery shells, and bullets. Do we still have to worry about the scarcity of ammunition? With enough ammunition and sophisticated weapons, what else do we need to worry about? Can’t defeat the little devil?”
The more Li Yunlong listened, the more excited he became. He immediately slapped his thigh and said happily: "Old Kong, you are such a fucking talent. This method is really amazing. You can't lose this deal. We, Old Li, have done it!"
Just like that, Li Yunlong, who originally came here to get equipment, didn't mention the equipment at all.
Returning to the house, he also taught Ding Wei a lesson in a high-spirited manner.
…
Time goes back to one day ago.
Valley test
Dong San, who was in charge of the logistics department and also served as the director of the repair shop, came to Kong Jie and said with a depressed look: "Captain, since you ordered to send raw materials to replace equipment and ammunition, local comrades and militia comrades, including those around us, Some brother groups are going crazy, they just send materials to our independent group after they get them."
"The various raw materials for production accumulated in the warehouse can hardly be loaded. However, the repair shop has limited equipment and limited manpower. How can it be busy?"
"You promised well to provide the corresponding equipment and ammunition when you send the materials. If this continues, we are afraid that we will lose everything."
Unexpectedly, Kong Jie directly woke up Dong San with just one sentence:
"There are only exhausted workers, but no exhausted bosses. Why can't you use your brain? There are too many raw materials for us to handle ourselves. Why can't we think differently and outsource them?"
"Outsourcing?" Dong San was dumbfounded, what does this mean?
Kong Jie said: "It's very simple. We just outsource some simple procedures that are time-consuming and laborious because we don't have enough manpower and let others take responsibility. After they deliver the semi-finished products, we can then focus on the final assembly and production." Procedurally, complete the final production of equipment and ammunition, understand?”
Suddenly enlightened, Dong San stood up and said, "What an outsourcing, leader, I understand, this method is really great."
Kong Jie warned: "Outsourcing is naturally a good idea, but I have to remind you that no matter when, we must control the core technology of military production in our own hands.
Only by grasping the core technology can we ensure that we will become the biggest beneficiary in the subsequent cooperation. "
Dong San smiled and said: "Captain, don't worry, our Eighth Route Army's military production technology, apart from the headquarters arsenal, the next one is our independent regiment repair shop, no other regiment can match it."
…
Back to the present, Lao Li believed that as long as he cooperated with Kong Jie, he would never lose anything.
If you think about it from Li Yunlong's perspective, there is indeed nothing wrong with this.
In the future, his new second regiment will contract some production processes, and the various raw materials captured and collected can be efficiently converted into various equipment and ammunition.
This means that the future equipment and ammunition of the independent regiment will be transformed from mainly relying on the capture of Japanese enemies to independent production.
This is a fundamental solution to the shortage of ammunition in the New Second Regiment.
It is the idea of win-win cooperation between the two teams of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
But it is obvious that if the two cooperate, the greater beneficiary will definitely be the independent group.
First of all, Kong Jie used the excuse of outsourcing cooperation to directly make Lao Li give up the idea of getting equipment.
What Lao Kong said is so good! If this deal is successful, then it will be equipped with the equipment of three melons and two dates. What else is there to say?
Secondly, the Independent Regiment perfectly solved the problem of oversupply of raw materials for military production.
In addition, the New Second Regiment will also provide production raw materials subsequently captured and collected.
As long as the independent regiment has the core production technology in its hands, doesn't Kong Jie have the final say in the distribution of the equipment and ammunition produced?
If he, Lao Li, wants to eat every meal, he has to listen to Kong Jie.
On the surface, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie are partners in mutual cooperation, but in fact, Lao Li works for Lao Kong.
It happened to be a part-time job, so Li Yunlong seemed to have accepted a huge favor from Kong Jie. When he left, he repeatedly said that he had remembered this favor and would definitely treat Kong Jie to a drink later.
This is probably what it means when someone sells someone to pay for someone else.
…
inside the house.
No matter how experienced Ding Wei was, he really couldn't imagine what the reason was and what Lao Kong said to Lao Li that could lead to such a big change in Lao Li's attitude before and after.
Kong Jie did not explain, but just smiled and said: "Old Ding, to be honest, our independent regiment suffered a lot of losses in this counter-mopping up, and the consumption of ammunition and equipment was even more outrageous. In addition, there are still many people in the regiment." It needs development. As a group leader, I have to save some money. As for the equipment..."
Ding Wei said: "Okay, Lao Kong, I won't say anything anymore. It's just some equipment. Don't worry, Lao Li doesn't want it anymore. I, Ding Wei, am not that stingy person."
"Last year, starting from the attack on Xiao'an Town, to several subsequent joint operations, I said that I owe you Lao Kong a favor, and this batch of equipment should be regarded as repaying the favor by me, Lao Ding."
As he spoke, Ding Wei picked up the teapot and took a sip, looking upright and awe-inspiring.
Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei intently.
After a long while, Ding Wei glared and said, "Lao Kong, what's that look like in your eyes? You don't believe me?"
Kong Jie said: "I really don't believe it. Who doesn't know that you, Old Ding, are a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks? I want to take advantage of you, Old Ding, what are you dreaming about?"
"Old Ding, just tell me what you want to change?"
Ding Wei suddenly laughed and said: "You, old Kong, are really pregnant with Qiqiao Exquisite Heart now. You can guess whatever we want."
"Okay, Lao Kong, let me tell you the truth. Lao Li and I are different in this respect. Lao Li only cares about equipment. We, Lao Ding, are not here just for the equipment."
Kong Jie asked doubtfully: "Oh, what do you want?"
Ding Weidao: "I don't need equipment, but I want tactics, base area development and enemy thinking, whether it's your independent regiment's sniper team tactics, infantry-artillery coordination tactics, or how to build a defense system, intelligence system, and security in the development of your base area. I want all the systemic measures and so on."
"In addition, I heard that your independent regiment has been printing and distributing a comic booklet on military learning. It contains tactical learning and some military theories. I want a complete copy of these booklets."
"In addition, I am also planning to send a group of company and platoon-level cadres from my new regiment to your independent regiment for exchange and study. Lao Kong, you have to take good care of this group of cadres. Then Just like a master teaches his disciples, he must teach them with all his resources."
After Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie was stunned for a few seconds, and then said in admiration:
"As expected of you, Old Ding. This long-term insight alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If Old Li wanted weapons because he saw the strong appearance of my independent group, you, Old Ding, are eyeing the powerful appearance of my independent group. That’s the essence.”
"Nothing to say, Old Ding, hurry up and send the selected cadres over."
"In addition, regarding the various manuals and documents regarding the development of our independent group, I will send you the exact information on the ideas and strategies I have used over the past year or so."
"This is first-hand information. I haven't even finished sorting it out, and it hasn't been sent to the brigade commander yet!"
"Then it's settled." Ding Wei smiled.
In this way, Kong Jie sent away the two big creditors one after another.
In the end, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei left with satisfaction, but they failed to take away half of the bullet from Kong Jie...
