Stone City.
As a small Japanese army stationed in a central city in the north, it not only stationed the 110th Division, but also mobilized the independent mixed Eighth Brigade to station along the Shide Line to guard the central nodes of the two railway arteries.
In such an important core place, the Japs are of course heavily guarded. On the basis of the Special High School and the Military Police, three peripheral intelligence organizations have been established: the Detective Team, the Yixinhui and the Support Association. The streets are full of Japs and dog spies. Rampant.
Under this circumstance, Hu Minghua, the intelligence chief who was in Shimen, received the news that Gao Jianwu had come to Shimen.
Hu Minghua almost fell ill from fright!
You must know that Gao Jianwu was already considered one of the top leaders at this time, and it was extremely audacious to come to the heart of the little devil.
Hu Minghua, who runs an inn in Shicheng, carefully led Gao Jianwu, a successful businessman wearing a top hat and mustache, into the back room.
"Commander, why are you here in person?" Hu Minghua lowered his voice and complained in a low voice. Although the commandos were all around him at the moment, Hu Minghua still had to speak in a low voice with fear.
"This is the home of little devils. Gendarmerie and detective squads are running all over the streets. It's very dangerous."
"It's okay. I'm not a big star. Not many people know about it." Gao Jianwu took off his hat and hung it on a hanger. "Besides, not many people know about me coming out this time. Except for the official committee and a few main leaders, No one else knew where I was going.”
The transmission of information in this era basically relied on word of mouth. Although Gao Jianwu often took the lead and was very famous in Ping'an and Heyuan, he spent most of his time in the military camp, and there were not many ordinary people who had actually seen him.
Only some people in the Dagu Town base area knew him, but that place was now managed as a solid and solid base area. Those who dared to go in and blatantly inquire about Gao Jianwu's information were basically out of control.
"Commander, if you have anything to do in Shicheng, just leave it to your subordinates. If anything happens to you while you are here, I will never redeem myself." Hu Minghua said with a bitter face.
"Old Hu, you can be regarded as the lone hero of our Dagushan. Why are you so timid? Don't worry, I didn't disturb anyone this time. I will do everything carefully and will not cause trouble here. Plus Commando Xiao Wu and the others are also new faces, so they have no problem taking care of themselves to protect themselves."
Gao Jianwu said with a smile.
"What I want to do this time is not convenient for you to do. This time we want to open a trade route from Dagushan to Shicheng, and then to Pingjin to connect overseas. You cannot control the resources used in the middle.
Now our 101 Factory has become the headquarters’ top priority, but to ensure long-term stable operation of Factory 101, we must have a steady supply of materials to ensure production.
Many supplies cannot even be obtained in Beijing and Tianjin. We have to get them through some overseas relationships, so this time I went to contact all parties to open up the lifeline of this scarce supply of supplies. "
"Here, let's get something to fill our stomachs. After walking for such a long time, everyone is a little hungry."
Gao Jianwu briefly revealed some information to Hu Minghua.
Gao Jianwu is now relatively relieved about Hu Minghua, the head of the intelligence department. He did not expect that there would be such a talent under Xie Baoqing. After his own guidance, the Dagushan intelligence system was run successfully. Speaking of Hu Minghua, a person with a very low sense of existence. Talent is the biggest surprise that Heiyun Village has left for him.
Artillery talents like Liu Shiqiang are more important and critical.
In a few months, Hu Minghua not only established an intelligence network in Shanxi along the Zhengtai Line, but also extended his tentacles to Pingjin along the Pinghan Line.
Transport stations have been established in almost every county along the route.
Of course, it is limited to the current capabilities. At present, traffic stations basically have one-line communication, transmitting some relatively less sensitive information, collecting some public intelligence, and reselling some materials to support themselves. They have not yet intentionally spied on the secret intelligence of the little devils. At present, they mainly serve A lake that carries information and supports families.
This greatly improves the survival probability of these transportation stations in Dagushan.
It laid the foundation for Gao Jianwu's next actions.
Thanks to the intelligence early warning system provided by the system, the current 300-kilometer range of intelligence information basically covers half of North China and most of Shanxi. Gao Jianwu is not urgent in obtaining military intelligence from the Japs.
For him, the most important thing is to establish a channel for the circulation of materials.
Even this channel is a cover-up used by Gao Jianwu. He relies on channels to handle many sensitive materials, so there is really no way to do this without them.
Of course, this channel is not just a cover. At least it has now begun to provide Dagushan with the purchase and transportation of some electrical equipment, and has even begun to purchase and smuggle ammonium nitrate into the base area on a small scale.
"Lao Hu, your mission this time is very important and very special. It is to operate an underground material procurement channel and completely separate it from the intelligence line to ensure safety and control as much as possible."
As Gao Jianwu spoke, he pulled a stool over, sat down against the table, picked up the teacup next to him, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it, feeling a little warm all over his body.
The New Year has just passed, and the weather in the north is still so cold.
Hu Minghua, who was on the side, hurried over and moved the coal-burning stove to Gao Jianwu's table.
Then he ran out to the kitchen and took out a pile of cooked potatoes and came back, placing them one by one by the stove for roasting.
"Commander, if this is the case, it may be inconvenient for me to use the existing manpower to do this. I will recruit a new group of people to do it later." Hu Minghua licked his lips for a while, and then said after understanding Gao Jianwu's intention.
"That's right, there's no need to rush this matter. You can do it in person. It's best to rely on a chain trading company or something. The requirements for personnel are not rigid, as long as they are able to do things with various teachings and skills.
On the surface, it looks like a profit-seeking trading company. But you have to grasp the right balance and don't let this trading company come back to bite you. It’s okay to deceive the Japanese and puppet enemy spies, but you can’t deceive the common people. "
Gao Jianwu pointed out.
Hu Minghua nodded. He was familiar with this matter. Isn't that how he used to do the shameful business among the bandits? Why did Xie Baoqing accumulate so much? Many of the things he robbed were realized by him, Hu Minghua.
Now it's just back to the old business.
Of course Hu Minghua also understood Gao Jianwu's final warning.
"Tomorrow I will meet with the Teko people, and I will get a batch of weapons and put them in the city, leaving them for you to establish this material channel and intelligence line. You only need to know this, and you can leave a safe room later. The house is empty, I’ll have it transported to a safe house.”
Of course Gao Jianwu knew that in this era of war and chaos, if he wanted to make money, he would lick his blood with a knife, and Hu Minghua could not do anything without weapons.
With the help of Teko and the safe house, he could leave a batch of short weapons such as box cannons for Hu Minghua to quickly develop himself.
"No problem. We have established several safe houses in Shicheng. Only I know two of them. I will take the commander to check them out later."
Hu Minghua said with some excitement that the commander was really reliable in his work. Although he could bring a batch of guns from the base area to arm his men, it was inconvenient after all.
Being able to provide weapons in Shicheng shows that the commander is really powerful, but I don't know how many he can get.
If there were dozens of guns, Hu Minghua couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought about this. With so many guns, he, Hu Minghua, would be the real boss under Shimen.
Although it is said that the Japs and traitors have a tight control, and the Japs generally have the final say in Shimen, there are so many people making a living underground. He, Hu Minghua, has the strength, and his world will be his at night.
