Roosevelt did not explain, but said to Marshall: "Vice President Wallace of Country M will return to North China and Northeast China soon, and he will bring us new news."
On June 20, the Hong Kong People's Army fully withdrew its troops. Zhao Zili shook hands with newly-appointed Peking Mayor Nie Rongzhen and others and said goodbye with a relaxed smile: "Our mission in the north has been completed, and the rest is up to you."
Nie Rongzhen said gratefully: "The People's Army is our true friend! I have asked Zhou Baozhong's troops to be equipped with your standard weapons. At present, we cannot equip too many vehicles and large weapons, but we will definitely purchase them in the future. Your special police force, special
The battle group and the remaining mountain divisions will become our masters."
"Hahahaha, how dare you." Zhao Zili laughed heartily and said to Nie Rongzhen: "Our commander has gone to Inner Mongolia. He has brought tens of thousands of people and a large amount of equipment. Various minerals will be developed soon."
"Commander Meng acted resolutely and decisively, which is admirable."
"See you in port x." When Zhao Zili saw that the retreating troops had boarded the ship, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to the people seeing him off.
The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei army has grown rapidly and has exceeded 400,000. Nie Rongzhen went to watch the training of new recruits on his way back. Zhou Baozhong came over and said with a smile: "They are being eliminated at every level, and those who cannot be soldiers will be woven into the police force."
"This method is good!" People who have received formal training are of course much better than ordinary policemen. The remaining soldiers are capable warriors and can defeat the enemy in a war.
"It is estimated that 100,000 people will be eliminated. The North China team already has an army of 300,000 people!" Zhou Baozhong said happily.
"You are the nouveau riche!" Nie Rongzhen said enviously: "It turns out that you have nine divisions, plus four cavalry divisions, two newly expanded infantry divisions, and nearly 200,000 troops. Your weapons are the most sophisticated.
, the one with the most powerful artillery fire, the longest training period, and became our main force."
Zhou Baozhong sighed: "The superiors took away a division."
"Reluctant? Hahahaha, whoever sees such an army will be jealous! Keep working hard and let everyone take a good look at this iron army when the war begins."
"yes!"
Nie Rongzhen pointed at the self-propelled rocket launcher and said: "This thing is very powerful, why do they throw it away?"
"This is an ordinary rocket launcher. The launch device is completed by simple calculations. Because it is simple, accurate, and has a very large error. The civilian army has very high requirements. The self-propelled artillery they equip with a combined rocket and cannon can have nine
achieve a hit rate above that.”
"Ah, so powerful?"
"However, the value of that kind of weapon is almost more than that of an airplane. And it cannot be used without a university professional education. My greatest hope in this life is to see that we can also equip it."
Nie Rongzhen said in surprise: "So expensive? I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to equip it."
"This problem has been solved. The main reason is that we do not have suitable talents." Zhou Baozhong told Li Kenong what happened after the negotiation.
Nie Rongzhen was frightened when he heard that. Meng Da's tone was so loud. One hundred infantry divisions, 150,000 navy, and 30,000 air force. If there were so many troops, it would not be difficult for Chiang Kai-shek and the Japs to finish together. Zhou Baozhong was surprised when he saw him
He looked funny and said: "There are so many good things, it just depends on whether we have the ability to use them."
"It's a pity that mechanized troops are good, but what we lack is oil." Nie Rongzhen said regretfully.
"We have Yanchang Oil Mine."
Nie Rongzhen sneered: "Less than 20,000 tons of crude oil a year."
"Hey, your information is too limited. Commander Meng and Comrade Li Kenong have signed an agreement to first expand and extend the production plan of the oil mine. They want the oil mine to be turned into an oil production plan with an annual output of 600,000 to 34 million tons. Two
It will be realized in a few months.”
"Ah!" Nie Rongzhen said with a surprised smile: "This is the greatest happy event. We can use fuel, airplanes and cars now."
"Ha ha ha ha."
When Zhou Baozhong was laughing excitedly, Meng Da was also laughing in Inner Mongolia. The first thing he mined was the Chagan Aobao fluorite mine in Siziwang Banner. He opened the mine in a sparsely populated place and transported the ore to the Far East for smelting. It is now summer and autumn.
The green grass of Siziwang Banner, the fragrance of birds and flowers, the blue sky and clear water, the white clouds and rainbows, the wisps of smoke, and the chasing of cattle and sheep create an intoxicating grassland scenery.
A regiment was left here, and there were as many as 3,000 mechanical mining engineering teams. Mengda was about to leave and said to the mine director: "Try to transport the ore back as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Mengda had to take risks to smuggle this kind of ore from Mexico. He finally had a fluorite mine, and he would no longer have to worry about raw materials for the glass industry. After arranging this place, he had to rush to another location quickly.
He is determined to win the Hexian graphite mine, and to establish industries such as cement, coal, and unfired bricks in the local area.
The overall situation in North China has been decided, and he is not worried about the situation here. When he led the troops on the way, Zhu Jiahua and Xue Yue hurriedly chased over. The angry General Xue said angrily: "Okay, just leave us and leave!"
Meng Da said apologetically: "I have been busy developing the fluorite mine and the graphite mine. I knew you would come after me."
"Opening a mine? Don't you think you have too little money?"
Meng Da smiled bitterly and said: "Mining is not necessarily to make a fortune. Fluorite ore is an important raw material for making glass, instruments, etc., and graphite is an indispensable raw material for making pencils and special metals. My weapons and equipment need these ores even more. Without these,
, everything I have is difficult to produce.”
Zhu Jiahua said to Xue Yue: "Because of the urgent shortage of this raw material, many products cannot be expanded. What we used in the past were smuggled back from Mexico at great risk."
"Oh?" No wonder Meng Da was so anxious to develop it. After Xue Yue understood, he pointed at Sizi Wangqi and said: "With so few troops left, aren't you afraid of others coming over?"
"Hahahaha, I will send the air force to station here. If Yan Xishan dares to cause trouble, I will not hesitate to drive him out of Shanxi!"
"You have gone completely crazy!" Xue Yue had nothing to say. Meng Da might be trying to trick others. As long as he got into his trap, it would be impossible not to suffer big losses.
"I want to develop the tin mines, alkali mines and coal mines in Xilingol League, and build a large power plant. I must fully implement these things before I can return to Port X. Let's go to the next target." Meng Da motioned to the two of them to hurry up.
Get on the bus and lead the convoy to set off.
Nie Rongzhen returned to Peiping and quickly made a bold idea. He buried himself in writing and quickly came up with a detailed plan. When Zhou Baozhong and Ye Fei rushed over, he raised the plan in his hand and said: "Look at me
Is the plan feasible?"
Ye Fei took it and took a look, laughing loudly and saying: "Commander, this is a good idea."
"Let's establish a political power and let him station troops for defense. Hey, it's good, it's really good." Zhou Baozhong was worried. The land in Inner Mongolia is huge. If his troops were to defend, they would use up hundreds of thousands of people. Nie Rongzhen
This move is indeed brilliant. If Meng Da is asked to defend, I believe Yan Xishan can only stare.
"If everyone agrees, we will jointly send a report to our superiors."
"agree!"
Xinghe County is about 10 kilometers long from north to south and narrower from east to west, about 6 kilometers, with a total area of 3,518 square kilometers. It is known as "three provinces when the cock crows". Xue Yue was not happy when he arrived here, looking at the poor and backward places and said
: "What a terrible sight!"
"Hahahaha, actually, there are treasures everywhere here, especially graphite and bentonite, which are the things I dream of." Meng Da disagreed and told him what he needed.
"You made a very serious mistake!" Zhu Jiahua frowned and said it unceremoniously after watching.
"Ah!" Meng Da's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly understood the reason. He nodded and said, "It's a taboo for military strategists to have flowers blooming on all sides. I'm so happy that I'm giddy."
"Use your economic capacity and the human resources of the North China Plain and Inner Mongolia to develop Outer Mongolia as soon as possible. With one million more workers, you can build Outer Mongolia early." Zhu Jiahua Chunchun taught
, he knows that his students can understand his painstaking efforts.
Mengda kept nodding. The Erdenet copper-molybdenum mine is open-pit mining, with each layer mining depth 15 meters. It is a multi-element mineral deposit that can bring him huge benefits and use value. 200 million tons of phosphorus;
The reserves of stone are about 8 million tons; 8 million tons of copper; 240,000 tons of molybdenum; 60,000 tons of zinc; 7,000 tons of silver; 3,000 tons of gold; and 1.5 billion barrels of oil. Aren't these things enough for him to keep busy?
Xue Yue saw Meng Da waking up from his dream and sneered: "You are so crazy! Remember, a person's ability is limited. As long as you guard the borders of the motherland, it is a great achievement!"
"Senior taught me a lesson." Meng Da nodded frequently and said to his subordinates: "Let's go and develop our area."
"yes!"
Zhu Jiahua was about to go back, and Xue Yue said worriedly: "Although North China has been recovered, the problem will become more prominent. Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek will not look at such a glorious existence of the Eighth Route Army. I am afraid that the civil war will become more urgent."
"Yes, this is also what I am worried about." Meng Da thought for a moment and said, "I must stay in the north and try to limit the time when the civil war starts."
"I will help you defend Jiangnan." Xue Yue said meaningfully.
"Hahahaha, it's our Jiangnan." Meng Da sneezed and laughed, knowing that Xue Yue would stand with him.
"With the help of Huang Wei, Luo Zhuoying, Xue Yue and other generals, there will be no problem with the stability of Jiangnan. I am not worried about the Northeast, and the chairman of the North China Committee will not take action for a short period of time. What we need to pay attention to is Datong and Taiyuan." Zhu Jiahua said again.
Remind Meng Da.
"Students, please remember your teacher's teachings. Teacher, I will leave Hong Kong to you, but you cannot lose my base camp."
"Throw it away? Who dares to scratch a tiger's head? With your strong look, no one dares to provoke you. Let's go." Zhu Jiahua smiled and got into the car prepared by Mengda guard Xiao Li.
"Report, General Li Kenong called, hoping you would send troops to garrison Nei Mugu."
"Hey, he wants to concentrate his troops, but he puts the pressure on me. Tell General Li that they are responsible for the local government and police force. Once the army attacks, I will kill the invading enemies for them!"
"yes!"
Zhou Baozhong walked over and asked with a strange smile: "How many troops are you planning to send?"
"A division."
"Ah!" Zhou Baozhong was shocked and asked nervously: "Is this possible? Yan Xishan has hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Hahahaha, he can send up to three or four divisions at most. To deal with an army like his, one division of mine is enough. However, you are responsible for the supply of food, vegetables, and meat for my army." Meng Da smiled slyly.
, and started negotiating with Zhou Baozhong.
"Hey, you are more treacherous than a profiteer."
"You are the most cunning person. I want to know where your troops are going?"
Zhou Baozhong said with a cheerful smile: "Of course we are training in North China. Our superiors have ordered us to train this unit into an ace unit."
