Although the barracks where foreigners are accommodated are outside the city, their standards are not low. They are guest houses specially built for those outsiders.
In comparison, the external environment is definitely not comparable to that of Pingshun County, but in the eyes of these foreigners, even Pingshun County is no different from the countryside compared with the prosperous Jiangjinmen.
The bumpy road made these foreigners exhausted. After arriving at the guest house, they didn't even pick on the food, and then fell asleep.
The action team continued to be responsible for the security of this group of foreigners, while Zhou Weiguo made a special trip to the city to report on his trip to Tianjin.
Within the headquarters.
Zhou Weihan picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Zhou Weiguo, and then said: "Weiguo, you made a lot of noise when you went to Tianjin this time. After you evacuated, the Japanese almost overturned Tianjin, but they couldn't find it.
If it weren't for the movements at Longhua Station, the Japanese would still be kept in the dark about your traces!"
"Before you came back, Mr. Nie from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region sent a telegram to express his gratitude. He stated that the action team had made a significant contribution to the military production of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region this time. With this batch of equipment and technology produced from Tianjin
personnel, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can also form a stable bullet supply system!"
"You showed your face this time, let's watch it later!" Zhou Weihan didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very obvious.
"Comrade ***, this is what we should do. Besides, this time is not my fault alone. All the comrades who participated in the action team have a share!" Zhou Weiguo explained quickly.
"I know!" Zhou Weihan smiled and patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder. Ever since Zhou Weiguo was transferred from the Jiaodong Military Region to Tainan by the deputy chief of staff, he has been cautious in his words and deeds and never seeks credit. He wants to integrate into the group, but because of
He is too polite to everyone and stays outside the group.
This surprised Zhou Weihan. Later, after a special investigation, he found out that when he was the regiment leader in Hutoushan, Jiaodong, because he was from the national army, the special commissioner sent by his superiors conducted an isolation review on him. If he hadn't happened to come here,
Going too far south, I don’t know what trouble will happen.
Previously, Zhou Weiguo served as the chief of staff in the Tainan Military Region, with a high position but no real power. After arriving in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region, Zhou Weihan specifically made Zhou Weiguo the leader of the independent regiment. There is naturally something to say about this.
As for now, Zhou Weiguo, with this important performance in Tianjin, will become a highlight in his resume and archives.
Packing up the equipment from the arsenal and other factories in Jinmen City and bringing it back to the base area was an act that greatly promoted the overall development of the Eighth Route Army. It was no longer something that could be rewarded simply for meritorious service.
At present, what all the armed forces led by the Communist Party, including the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, are in urgent need of is neither weapons and equipment nor food, nor soldiers, but bullets.
Life in the Tainan Military Region is indeed affluent, and all the main forces use original bullets. But when it comes to other base areas of the Eighth Route Army, life is tighter than the last. Not to mention original bullets, even reloaded bullets are treasured by the soldiers.
very.
Not to mention, many Japanese technicians from the arsenal were robbed this time. These are living databases, including those who master important technologies such as propellants and seamless steel manufacturing.
In Zhou Weihan's view, as long as the comrades of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can pry open the mouths of these technicians, it will not be a problem to break through the technical barriers that have been blocked by the National Government and the Japanese army.
By then, even 50- and 60-caliber cannons will be ignored, and 81- and 82-caliber mortars will be produced. The corresponding artillery shells can also be produced on a large scale.
After Zhou Weihan listened to Zhou Weiguo's account of the thrilling situation he faced in Tianjin at that time, he immediately said: "How did these foreigners behave on the way? Do you think there is any information that can be mined?"
"Commander, among this group of foreigners, family members account for a considerable part, but there are a few who look suspicious. One of them, an American with a beard, is the strangest!"
After hearing this, Zhou Weihan waved his hand to stop Zhou Weiguo's next words, and instead asked: "Did they bring many assets along the way?"
"Not much. The Japanese confiscated all their fixed assets in Tianjin, and most of their working capital and valuables were also confiscated. Although they brought a lot of things with them, most of the boxes were filled with clothes!"
"Did they know that the team was escorting a large amount of gold along the way?" Zhou Weihan asked again.
"Although the matter of gold has not been revealed to the public, it cannot be hidden from them!" Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and said.
"It's good to know that, whether it's an intelligence broker or a spy placed in the concession by various countries, as long as they are short of money, the next thing will be easier. Can they buy anything with money?"
"Comrades from the Intelligence Division of the Headquarters will arrive in Pingshun tomorrow. This group of foreigners will be screened again. Weiguo, you and your comrades from the General Staff Division will cooperate with the Intelligence Division to analyze the incoming intelligence!"
"Remember, you have to act quickly. I'm worried that someone will come from Changzhi in the next day or two. As long as there is valuable information related to our Eighth Route Army, don't be afraid to spend money!" Zhou Weihan said one after another.
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo responded.
What happened next went surprisingly smoothly. Several foreigners who had the information in their hands were about to leave China. If they still had the information in their hands, it would lose its due value.
One party is short of money, the other party has money, and the two hit it off.
Two days later, Zhou Weihan did not wait for someone from Changzhi to urge him. Instead, he waited for an American to come to his door.

"Commander, an American at the guest house said he wanted to see the top commander of the Eighth Route Army in Pingshun!" Dong Jiang reported via telegram.
"Did he say anything?"
"He only said that he would only say it in front of the highest official!"
"Okay, find a room alone in the guest house and I'll meet him!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile, thinking that he couldn't hold it back after all.
The conversation between the two went very smoothly after they met. The American who wanted to see Zhou Weihan by name went straight to the point and asked about Zhou Weihan's identity.
"My name is Zhou Weihan, and I am a member of the Tainan Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
"Are you Zhou Weihan? By the way, I have seen photos of you when you were a child, and I really believe it. The bounty portrait posted by the Japanese is very different from you. It would be strange to find you!" the old American Ninja couldn't help but laugh, saying something.
But he speaks fluent Chinese.
"Why, you know me too?" Zhou Weihan was very surprised after hearing this.
"Of course, with General Zhou's record in North China, not only are the Japanese thinking about you, but you are also on the lists of the FBI and MI6!"
After confirming Zhou Weihan's identity, the American veteran changed the subject and said straight to the point: "My name is Grant Stilwell!"
