Behind enemy lines, the battle situation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army has evolved to this point.
The construction of the Eighth Route Army base area itself and the economic development have once again accelerated and the scale has further expanded.
Surrounding the Huangyadong Arsenal and the Taihang Base Area.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led two lines of mechanized combat troops to make a surprise attack on Datong, and then penetrated all the way through areas such as western Shandong, central Shandong and northern Henan.
The business chain of a team has developed rapidly with the assistance of military offensive.
Kong Jie's business chain even spans central China, East China, South China, and North China.
Yibei even made arms deals with Commander Fu's 35th Route Army, including exchanging some old-fashioned armored vehicles and tanks for a large number of guns, ammunition and logistical support from the 35th Route Army.
Business in the south has reached northern Henan, central Henan, and even the Kuomintang-controlled areas and enemy-occupied areas further south.
Commander Tang was extremely happy. He had supplies and equipment, and Kong Jie had money. The two of them hit it off immediately, and their cooperation was a win-win situation. It was even a bit silly to regret meeting each other.
Including this collective military wedding, Kong Jie also made special preparations.
This time, for his wedding, not only representatives from various base areas came to celebrate, but also representatives from the Chiang Kai-shek Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and even many representatives from the Allied Powers who had become increasingly optimistic about the Eighth Route Army in recent years.
Of course, it was mainly under the guise of giving gifts that I stopped by to inspect the development of the Eighth Route Army base area.
Kong Jie would naturally not miss such a good opportunity. In addition to flexing his muscles in the military, he could further gain support from the Allies, gain support from overseas Chinese, and expand the Eighth Route Army's international reputation.
He also held a trade fair by the way.
Various products are displayed, including Chinese herbal toothpaste, Chinese herbal shampoo, shower gel, and soap; all kinds of biscuits, all kinds of cans, all kinds of candies; all kinds of drinks; all kinds of fur coats, woolen sweaters, cotton coats; all kinds of hardware tools;
Various tents, raincoats and other military supplies.
There are even various types of small motors, small water pumps, and small engines.
There are all kinds of things, almost everything.
Allied countries should have demand for these goods. Allied countries provide free or paid assistance to the Eighth Route Army. They can exchange these goods to gain support.
Or simply establish a business partnership.
Many of this series of products produced by various production plants of Kong Jie's team have particularly miraculous effects on the military.
For example, toothache-reducing gunpowder, watermelon frost, etc. Once the troops march for a long distance, vitamin C supplementation cannot keep up, and lack of vegetables and fruits will easily cause gum bleeding and toothache due to internal heat.
Just take a few slices and it’s basically solved.
It was a coincidence that there happened to be a representative general sent by the Soviet Union at the exhibition. He had been suffering from toothache and anger these days. After eating a few slices of watermelon frost, I felt much better.
He exclaimed the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine at that time, and signed an order with Kong Jie on the spot, saying that he would purchase large quantities of this magical traditional Chinese medicine to supply the army.
This old man likes to eat meat and drink wine. Due to geographical constraints, it is difficult to grow vegetables, so there is not much supply. Soldiers often encounter problems like gum inflammation, but they don’t know how to solve it.
In addition, there are common problems in the army. For example, soldiers are often full and hungry due to fighting, and they often suffer from stomach problems. There is also a huge market for some traditional Chinese medicines that relieve stomach problems.
Military rations are generally difficult to digest. After Kong Jie introduced the efficacy of the Jianweixiaoshi tablets produced by a team, they quickly gained favor from representatives from all parties.
Kong Jie is probably the only one who sells Chinese medicine to Westerners in the same way as Western medicine.
In the words of Captain Kong: "This is also to make people better accept our products!"
Just like that, after a trade fair, the representatives sent by the Jinsui Army and the Central Army were almost red with envy.
Captain Kong is really awesome. The wedding is not over yet, and the orders signed with representatives from various countries, including just the deposits, have already been softened.
Who knows how other people’s business will go in private?
Maybe Kong Jielai said, "If you want these goods from our Eighth Route Army, you can, but we don't want money, we want arms in exchange!"
Got it!
It would be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to develop its equipment level.
Chu Yunfei was also filled with emotion about this. He was currently wearing the flight jacket given to him by Kong Jie. While trying on the size of the jacket, he said to his adjutant Sun Ming:
"I have seen many generals who are engaged in war but are good at doing business and making money through the army. There are almost all of them in our national army.
But for someone like Kong Jie who relied on doing business to grow his army, to be honest, this is the first time Chu has encountered one, so I have to say, the world is so big, there are no wonders!"
Adjutant Sun Ming was convinced of this: "Yes, regimental leader, the key is that Captain Kong knows how to do business and make money, but he is also unambiguous when it comes to fighting!"
As he said this, Sun Ming, who was helping Chu Yunfei adjust his jacket, said again: "Team, this jacket seems a little too small!"
"Huh? Are you young?"
"It's too small!"
"It's okay, I'll go back and find Brother Kong to exchange for a larger one!"
Ahem——
Sun Ming smiled and said: "Tuanzi, your clothes are a little too big, but mine is just right!"
Chu Yunfei:......
No wonder Brother Kong’s business is doing so well, each product is so touching that it touches people’s hearts.
The representatives were wandering around, trying out various products at the fair. Kong Jie generously invited some representatives from Western countries to drink, eat hamburgers, and eat fried chicken.
Perhaps these foods are naturally appealing to Westerners like them, so each of the representatives ate with their mouths full of oil and enjoyed themselves.
John's fried chicken business has begun to expand in China, but it has not spread so quickly, so these Western representatives may not have tasted similar secret fried chicken.
So after the exhibition, some business-minded representatives from Western countries even approached Kong Jie privately and expressed their desire to cooperate with Kong Jie and buy the secret recipe for making these secret fried chickens.

Kong Jie naturally opened the door to welcome you, and this way of making money is here again.
After the trade fair, after the delegates had seen the magic of the products produced by the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie showed off his muscles again.
How to show off?
Take out the armored vehicles, tanks, various cars, motorcycles, guns, and cannons that were seized from the little devils.
Not only that, the Japanese soldiers who surrendered to the Eighth Route Army and lived in one team and had joined the anti-war alliance also showed up and spoke a few words in Japanese to express their disgust for this war and their respect for the humanitarian Eighth Route Army troops.
admiration and admiration.
The impact of this sexy operation is amazing enough.
The rampant and arrogant Japanese army, a large number of prisoners, and a large amount of equipment were captured by the Eighth Route Army. I am afraid there is no better way to show off muscles than this.
The reporters sent by representatives from Western countries couldn't stop taking photos, and everyone was extremely surprised.
This is the best proof that the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese army.
……
There is another important thing. A few days ago, Kong Jie’s old friend in business cooperation, John, personally found him.
Today, John admires Kong Jiena like a god.
From the initial contact between the two, whether it was the fried chicken business that Kong Jie taught John, or the subsequent military-industrial cooperation between all parties, the transmission of various drawing technologies, and even the control and prediction of the political situation.
Kong Jie can almost always act like a prophet.
Especially after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
John was almost stunned. This was exactly the same as what Kong Jie had predicted.
Later, with the supply of American equipment provided by John, Wang Huaibao led the Fourth Independent Regiment to fight a beautiful battle in Zhongtiao Mountain, severely damaging the Japanese army with an absolutely inferior force.
He also obtained first-hand information on the corresponding American equipment for John, and John was greatly reused in the military.
After cooperating with many parties, John has more and more admiration and trust for Kong Jie.
After the two parties met, Kong Jie smiled and joked: "John, you are now a big boss making money every day, why do you still have the leisure to come to me specifically?"
John said that he had also heard about a large-scale confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army not long ago, and he was very emotional about it:
"Xu, your Eighth Route Army is really a magical force. It is unimaginable that you can still inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in a large-scale confrontation despite being at such a disadvantage.
Sometimes I even wonder, if your equipment level is better than that of the Japanese army, and if you can be equipped with our American weapons and equipment, how terrifying will your combat effectiveness be!"
Kong Jie smiled and said nothing.
There are some things he will naturally not tell John.
Perhaps within a few years, you, the United States, will have a deep understanding of this.
"Xu, I came to see you this time because I have something important to discuss with you."
"Say!"
"You should be very aware of Japan's sneak attack on our country's Pearl Harbor! In response to Japan's despicable sneak attack, we also decided to counterattack with military offensive means, and dispatched a bomber unit a day ago, secretly An air raid was launched on the Edo area of Japan.
After that, the Japanese army immediately launched a counterattack. Our bombers were basically destroyed, and a large number of pilots were scattered in your Chinese territory.
I was appointed by the military to contact your Eighth Route Army this time. I know that one of your teams has a secret special operations force that is extremely good at small-scale infiltration and search and rescue operations. So the military wants to ask your Eighth Route Army to take action and assist. Conduct rescue operations for our military pilots."
Kong Jie thought silently.
Of course he had an impression of this matter, wasn't it the Doolittle Raid!
As for the main area where the US military pilots who had performed bombing missions parachuted, Kong Jie still remembered that it was in the Guangfeng area of Shangrao, Zhejiang.
"Xu, please agree, those are all ace pilots of our military, and each of them is a very important talent in the military!"
Seeing Kong Jie's silence, John hurriedly urged him.
So Kong Jie laughed, it doesn't matter which country they are from, what matters is that these are all ace pilots.
Good guy, wouldn’t it be so comfortable if these pilots could be hugged and placed in our first team?
"No problem, no problem at all. John, please rest assured. Our two countries assist each other. It can be said that we still stand on the same anti-war alliance. Your affairs are our Eighth Route's affairs, and your pilots are our Eighth Route Army's."
Pilot!
We will definitely do our best in this rescue operation!"
"Thank you, Xu, I really appreciate you Eighth Route Army!"
John was immediately overjoyed and could not care less about his doubts about some of the words Kong Jie said.
Then, John shared some corresponding information with Kong Jie. As for the place where the pilots landed, the United States did not have exact information. They only knew that they chose to make an emergency landing in Zhejiang, China.
The United States has also contacted the national military government to try to launch a rescue operation.
It’s just that after witnessing the battles between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army, as well as between Chiang Kai-shek’s troops and the Japanese Army in the past few years.
John, including the US military standing behind John, basically had no hope for those Chiang Kai-shek troops who could not hold up the wall.
Finally, when John suggested that perhaps the Eighth Route Army could better complete the rescue operation, the US military immediately agreed.
After parting ways with John, Kong Jie returned to the detachment headquarters and reported in detail to the headquarters some of the discussions after meeting with John.
After the boss was silent for a moment on the phone, he smiled and asked: "Kong Jie, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
"To save people, of course we have to save people. We must do everything possible to save these American pilots. Of course, we must specially bring these pilots to our base area!"
"Say what you think."
"Yes!" Kong Jie replied: "First of all, there is an old saying that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Right now, the Japanese army and the US military are at a time of bitter hatred. We and the US are considered allies, so naturally we cannot
Don't save me until you die.

Secondly, if we can assist the United States in rescuing these pilots, there will be many benefits.
You must know that these pilots who can participate in this air attack on Japan are all absolute ace pilots of the United States. If these talents can be placed in our base to help us build our flying force, they will definitely play an important role. In addition, if we can complete this rescue operation, we can also greatly enhance the international status and reputation of our Eighth Route Army.
Further expand international military reinforcements to our Eighth Route Army troops.
The most important thing is... Ahem, boss, if you think about it, if we bring back these pilots, it will be equivalent to having chips and trump cards on hand. When we conduct business cooperation with the United States in the future, we still don’t want to
If you want arms, you need arms. If you want supplies, you need supplies!
We have worked so hard to help them save people, why can’t we not even get some compensation?
If the Yankees are really picky, I will ask Lao Li to pretend to be a bandit and a group of people will kidnap them before letting them go.
This is Lao Li’s specialty!”
On the other end of the phone, the boss couldn't help laughing.
"You're the only one who has a lot of bad intentions, but you think very thoroughly, so I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you get it done!"
"Yes, boss, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!"
After hanging up the phone, Kong Jie immediately arranged the matter.
Most of the Zhejiang area has already fallen and is controlled by the Japs. It will definitely not work for the main force to rescue. For this rescue operation, leaving it to the commando team created by Kong Jie is indeed the best choice... p>
