Hu Minghua, the former deputy captain of the reconnaissance team of the Dagushan guerrillas and now the director of the intelligence department and reconnaissance captain of the Dagushan base area, rushed back to Heiyun Village with a few people. Just after returning, he had no time to drink water when he was called to the brigade by Gao Jianwu. department.
"Lao Hu, how is the situation? Have you found a suitable place?" Gao Jianwu asked impatiently.
"Found it." Hu Minghua didn't bother to drink water. "According to the directions given by you, captain, I found a few fellow villagers in the local area. With their guidance, we started from Laoshuao intersection and followed the original forest area of Taohe River Valley. After walking for more than 4 miles and nearly 5 miles, I found a large cave group with at least several thousand square meters of caves that can be used directly. It is surrounded by mountains and the only convenient access is the Tao River."
"The water level of the Tao River in that section is gentle. It will not suddenly drop dozens of meters to form a waterfall when it is more than 3 miles downstream. Now in winter, the river water is two to three feet deep. Smaller boats can travel. If it is raised further downstream, If we make a dike of about one or two meters, there will be no problem at all.”
Gao Jianwu was overjoyed.
With the dual guidance of memory and map, he found a safe place for the arsenal near Dagushan, where there are natural caves surrounded by mountains. However, without on-site inspection, Gao Jianwu felt uneasy after all. Now that it has been implemented, That would be perfect.
Finally, the site of the arsenal was settled. The place was surrounded by high mountains and deep forests, and was inaccessible. Even in later generations, it could only be accessed by cruise ship.
But compared to other places, this place has a big advantage, that is, it is only a little more than 1 mile away from the road in and out of Dagushan Town to the river. In terms of transportation, it can be transported to the river by road. , and then transported inside via waterway.
Not only is the transportation relatively convenient, but it is also quite hidden. With nearly 5 miles of waterway, it is also a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Lao Hu, you put the other tasks at hand first and hand them over to others. Recently, you have been focusing on the construction of this place. First, you can find a way to build a few ships in that river. They don't need to be too big and can carry heavy loads. Just over twenty tons will be enough.
Second, you find the district committee, organize a group of basic militiamen as a construction team, and start preparing building materials, and start building a food and accommodation house that can accommodate hundreds of people in the cave group, as well as a group of factories, the specific construction location, etc. Find the person, and I'll go in with you. "
"Third, this matter must be kept secret. All current personnel entering and exiting, except for the core members of your intelligence department who are involved in this matter, must be blindfolded when entering or leaving the area."
"Understood, Captain Gao, I know how to do this." Hu Minghua replied solemnly. Although he was transferred from Heiyun Village, after being together for so long, he had already gotten rid of the bandit's habits.
Although Gao Jianwu knew that when building an arsenal with hundreds of people, his position would be exposed sooner or later, but if he could hide it for one more day, he would have one more day of weapons production.
Now that we can't stop the little devil's all-out encirclement and suppression, we have to work hard to keep it secret.
After a period of training and intelligence system construction, Hu Minghua, the former small leader of Heiyun Village who was responsible for external intelligence, grew very rapidly under the guidance of Gao Jianwu.
This is a person who has the talent to gather information on the front line. Outside, there are many informants from the three religions and nine ranks, ranging from a few nearby counties to the key cities such as Jinyang and Shimen.
With the rise of Dagushan, with the full support of Gao Jianwu, who attaches great importance to intelligence work, the Intelligence Department's external forces have expanded even more rapidly. There are not only informants in the city, but also dozens of armed workers who have penetrated into the countryside to serve as an intelligence unit for the Intelligence Department. source.
Although the work of the Armed Work Team is now under the direct leadership of the district committee and district team, the relevant information is shared directly with the Intelligence Department and the communication lines.
Therefore, although Hu Minghua seems to have no sense of presence in Dagushan, his actual status and influence are not inferior to Zhao Dalei.
A person like Hu Minghua, with his bright eyebrows, certainly knew how much Gao Jianwu valued him. With at least one ideological improvement study meeting every month, his ideals and beliefs were getting closer and closer to Gao Jianwu's.
Gao Jianwu, who has always placed ideological work in an important position, has finally received fruitful results.
...
The engineer who came from Fengtian Arsenal was called Chen Jingzhong. Because his family was relatively well-off in his early years, he went to Dongdao Imperial College to study mechanical engineering when he was still under the rule of the general. After graduation, he returned to work in Fengtian Arsenal. Later, after the fall of Japan, the Japs took over the arsenal. Employed many engineers and workers from the past.
Chen Jingzhong did not have any setbacks and continued to enjoy the little devil's meal. Anyway, he graduated from Imperial College, knew the Japanese language, and was obedient. In the eyes of the little devil, he was considered a relatively reliable and talented person to win over, and his life was pretty good. .
But this time, Chen Jingzhong was sent all the way to Jinyang. At first, he refused. After all, his family was in Fengtian. I heard that Jinyang was not peaceful yet. Whether it was for the sake of his life or his family, Chen Jingzhong was very considerate. The reason for refusal is that it is impossible to increase money. The little devils themselves are tightening their belts to live.
But Chen Jingzhong didn't expect that the little devil didn't discuss it with him. He was taken on the train that day when he went to work, and he became company with dozens of old workers from the production line.
Only then did Chen Jingzhong realize that the "normal" life he had always thought of was just an illusion. Everything he had now could be taken away at any time.
Therefore, when Gao Jianwu and Chen Jingzhong started a formal conversation, Chen Jingzhong did not say any nonsense and asked directly: "Captain Gao, I know what you want to do, but frankly speaking, an arsenal is a very complex system engineering involving raw materials. Collection, energy supply, smelting, production and processing, etc., with the current situation you are in, I don’t think it can be done.”
There is no need to daydream about things that are wishful thinking. This is what Chen Jingzhong said to Gao Jianwu very straightforwardly.
"What if I can solve it?" Gao Jianwu asked. He was straightforward when dealing with engineers and went straight to the point.
"Impossible, if nothing else, you have no way to drive hundreds of kilowatts of mechanical equipment with electricity alone." Chen Jingzhong shook his head, "Even if you can grab a few diesel engines, you still don't have enough diesel. Support long-term power generation. What’s more, this cannot be solved by one or two diesel engines.”
"Of course we have ways to solve the problem of power supply. In fact, we have already started building a 500-kilowatt hydropower station. Using the water resources in the mountains, power supply will not be a problem." Gao Jianwu said confidently.
Of course, the construction of hydropower stations has not started yet, but hydroelectric generators do exist. With a set of process design drawings and spare parts provided by the system, Gao Jianwu only needs to think of a suitable reason to put these things somewhere. Get it out and transport it back to Dagushan.
Then the number of first small hydropower stations will soon be reduced. In the world where Gao Jianwu lived, a few farmers could build small hydropower stations with a little money.
Even township enterprises can produce hydroelectric generators of this level.
With this first mother machine, the second and third machines will be processed according to the process design drawings. With the abundant water power in the mountains, it will not take long for the power supply of several thousand kilowatts to be realized.
"Can you really solve the problem of power supply?" Chen Jingzhong stared at Gao Jianwu, as if he wanted to see through the lies in Gao Jianwu's heart.
"Absolutely, it won't take more than 3 months at most." Gao Jianwu said firmly, "And we already have a small factory with an annual output of several thousand tons of steel and a small coal mine. The initial supply of raw materials can be guaranteed, plus this The nickel and copper intercepted for the first time, the material is also guaranteed in the short term.”
Chen Jingzhong's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
"You have actually made it this far?"
"Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. If Mr. Chen is willing to follow me for a moment, you will know if I am lying."
