Chapter 80 The Living Cannot Be Suffocated to Death by Urine
Looking at the smile on the corner of Yang Zhen's mouth, which was almost exactly the same as that of Mr. Hopkins, it was creepy and even shuddering. Pearson thought for a while, and still regarded some things that he should not have at this time, but he did.
The thought of just existing was suppressed.
No wonder Mr. Hopkins, who has always been indifferent to people and difficult to get close to, would put down his social status and take the initiative to make friends with this guy. What he said is really right, they are really the same person. A pair.
Cunning foxes are always calculating others.
After telling Yang Zhen about the arrest of Hopkins, first Hopkins and then Yang Zhen smiled strangely, making him a little uneasy. Pearson turned around and left in a hurry without making any pause. However, he did not see Yang.
Zhen looked at his back with a rather cold expression on his face.
They originally thought that the senior American and British officers who came to visit would complete the visit in two or three days. But no one expected that the American and British officers would visit for seven full days. Not only did they watch the combined training of the troops, but they also randomly visited
From the list provided by the Anti-League, two divisions were selected to observe daily training.
At the same time, they also visited the ongoing military region chief of staff training courses, command schools of some arms, recruit training camps, as well as several arsenals, prisoner of war camps and Japanese overseas concentration areas. It can be said that they saw everything the Anti-Japanese Alliance could show them.
I read it over and over again. Of course, I didn’t let them see anything that couldn’t be shown to them.
During the visit and inspection of these senior American and British military officers, Yang Zhen did not hold any kind of talks with Hopkins. The two of them just had several dinners together as if they were real old friends. Even though they were having dinner together.
At that time, the topics of conversation between the two people stopped at the international situation and the so-called friendship between the two people.
As for the negotiation, it seemed that the two of them had collectively forgotten about it. Hopkins didn’t mention it, and Yang Zhen didn’t say anything. During several dinners together, although the dishes were simple, the two of them talked happily.
, as if they were really old friends who met each other at first sight.
During this rare free time, because of his great reputation, Hopkins basically never left the station except for one trip as a reporter as a reporter to visit the new Northeastern University under construction. Most of them
I spend most of my time setting up a fishing rod on a hidden branch of the river, fishing and sipping coffee.
On the contrary, that guy Pearson traveled back and forth quite frequently between the station and the residence of the US Military Observer Group. At the same time, the external radio communications of the US Military Observer Group were also extremely frequent during this period. Considering the confidentiality
, the Anti-Japanese Federation also specially provided him with two more cars for him to change back and forth between the two stations.
The two main participants were not in a hurry, but that did not mean that the others were not in a hurry either. It was just that it was hard for others to say anything in front of the two calm people. The political commissar of the Jinjin Army who participated in the meeting thought several times.
I wanted to urge him, but for some unknown reason, he said nothing in the end.
When the American and British military delegation, who was out for a visit or an inspection, finally returned, Yang Zhen was still unhurried. After receiving the report that the American and British military delegation had returned, he was studying the received Soviet artillery with Guo Bingxun.
Yang Zhen, who configured it, just answered as if he knew it was nothing.
Even the reception banquet in the evening was sent to Li Yanping. He himself was at the headquarters, studying military issues with Guo Bingxun, Zhang Zhenhua, and Xiong Dazhen for most of the night. Being the boss does not mean that he is really
Don’t care about anything. There are some things that you should sit down and study.
Yang Zhen still said that the American and British delegations attach great importance to it, but they cannot leave their original work behind. We cannot give up food and drink just to receive them. Especially in the current situation where there are so many things, we still have to do what we should do.
No matter what, these foreign devils come first.
Putting down the meeting minutes in his hands, Guo Bingxun had roughly finished studying the matters that required short-term decision-making. He could finally relax a little. After stretching his waist in a rare way, he looked at Yang Zhen, who had a calm face, and smiled.
He smiled and said, "Are you really not in a hurry?"
In response to Guo Bingxun's ridicule, Yang Zhen put the pen in his hand back into his breast pocket, then shook his head slightly and said: "It's impossible to say that I'm not in a hurry. I'm not one of those saints in ancient times, so maybe it's true
Are you not in a hurry? This matter is related to our future development. I would like to say that there is really no rush. It is purely for the Americans to see."
"But this matter can be solved not only if we are anxious. This is true for the Americans, but also for the Soviets. The key to this kind of matter is to adjust your mentality. The more anxious you are, the easier it will be.
Give others an opportunity to take advantage of. Therefore, when dealing with this kind of matter, you must maintain a peaceful attitude, and your mind will naturally cool down."
"Today is our rare rest time. When we should relax, we should relax. It is estimated that tomorrow, we will start to fight with them with bayonets. These foreign devils are very fierce in appearance and soft in heart. They will never do anything to help them when they need it.
To add insult to injury, he is really good at it.”
Yang Zhen, who simply answered Guo Bingxun with half ridicule and half inquiry, did not say much on the matter, but turned the topic to Zhang Zhenhua and said: "Lao Zhang, how is the production of winter clothes? The weather is getting worse day by day.
It's getting colder. Even the temperature during the day is less than 10 degrees, let alone at night. It's going to be frost soon. If you don't get ready for the winter clothes in another week, the troops will not be able to bear it.
.”
In response to Yang Zhen's inquiry, Zhang Zhenhua smiled bitterly and said: "No. 1, as soon as the cotton arrived, I distributed it immediately. But time is too tight. Such a large number of winter clothes cannot be shipped out in a short time anyway."
.Excluding some of the cotton allocated to the central government, the quantity of cotton is now somewhat insufficient."
"Fortunately, half of the Soviet-style smooth sheepskin peacoats have been made. The rest of the leather is 80% ripe. In ten days at most, all the peacoats and some sweaters will be finished. But the cotton trousers
and the thin cotton-padded jacket inside, it will take a certain amount of time."
"Currently, for the troops stationed in the northernmost part of Heihe, winter clothing has been distributed as a priority using last year's limited inventory. As for other troops, it will take at least half a month. On the 1st, I also know that the matter is urgent. But this is not the case with winter clothing.
The structure is relatively simple, and summer clothes can be completed quickly in a short time. The production process of winter clothes is much more complicated."
"Even if several of our quilt factories work overtime and all the workers risk their lives, it will be difficult to produce hundreds of thousands of winter coats in such a short time. This is not 10,000 or 20,000 pieces, nor is it 100,000.
, 80,000 pieces. Including the advancing troops, this is 500,000 or 600,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes."
Zhang Zhenhua's answer, although he knew that the logistics department had done its best, Yang Zhen was still a little dissatisfied. What he was dissatisfied with was not the slow progress, nor the lack of effort by the logistics department. He also knew that the batch of cotton arrived too late.
It is quite difficult to prepare hundreds of thousands of cotton-padded clothes in such a short period of time.
What he was dissatisfied about was why he couldn't think of more ways to use his brain when he knew that the quantity was large and the time was short. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen said: "Old Zhang, this speed is not good. The most I can do is give
You must wear all your winter clothes in one week."
"Manpower is insufficient, so you have to think of a way. If you can't, focus on making cotton trousers, cotton shoes, and sheepskin coats first. Cotton gloves, cotton hats, and two cotton-padded jackets. We can send them out at night for a week without freezing people to death. But cotton trousers and shorts
Coats are no good, they must all be distributed within a week."
"As for the thin cotton tops used in the short coats, I wonder if we can mobilize the people in the base area to help make them. And as long as the coats are distributed on time, these thin cotton jackets can be put aside even if the raw materials are insufficient. After all, there is no real production yet.
It’s winter, and there’s still some time left before we count the nine days. If it’s not too critical, can we put it away later?”
"Our troops do not have transitional clothing such as fleece jackets. They can only wear cotton-padded clothes after taking off their single clothes. The weather is getting colder every day. How can the troops without winter clothes stand it? Especially for the sentries, the temperature at night has dropped to zero degrees.
You know, no coat is going to freeze."
"I also know that time is tight, but can we think of a way? Now Chinese people are not in the habit of buying cotton-padded clothes. The vast majority of cotton-padded clothes are made by their own families. Almost all housewives in the base area can make cotton-padded clothes.
In addition to the quilt factory, we can completely mobilize families in the base area to help with the production."
"Cotton winter clothes are not high-end fashion. An ordinary housewife can complete several sets in three to five days. With so many housewives in the base area, even if only half of them are mobilized, they can complete cotton tops in a short time.
Production. Your logistics department will send out the required sizes and strictly stipulate the styles. I think there should be no problem. Although the handmade cotton clothes are a little rough, they are better than nothing."
"Cotton trousers can also be made in this way when necessary. There are also sheepskin pea coats, all of which are made by the Quilt Factory of the Logistics Department, not to mention cooked. The nearly one million pieces of skin required are all
If you rely on you to ripen it yourself, when will it be finished? For the sheepskins provided by the central government, can you ask the central government to ripen them first and then transport them over?"
"As early as the Manchu Dynasty, our Northeast was a high-end fur production area. Not to mention other places, there are many leather workshops in Harbin. There is not much technical content in this stuff, and ordinary fur workshops can completely process it. We can adopt
The method is to provide raw materials, pay processing fees, and hand over part of the leather cooking work to the local government."
"As long as the quality and speed can be guaranteed, some supplies such as quilts and clothing can be handed over to the local government, so that your pressure will be much less. Also, don't wait for all the winter clothes to be made before they are distributed uniformly. This year's situation
Special, one batch will be issued as soon as one batch is completed. The order is according to the station, first north then south, first the troops and then the agencies. All agency personnel will be issued in the last batch."
"Lao Zhang, I know it's difficult for you now. You're not a magician, and you can't make hundreds of thousands of winter clothes at once. But you need to think more about how to complete the production of winter clothes in the shortest time. The climate is not the same
People and troops cannot wait. If it is not solved for a long time, the troops will collapse from the cold."
"I'm not forcing you, Lao Zhang, you are a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. You know the climate changes in Northern Manchuria better than I do. In late October, the temperature in most areas begins to drop to zero degrees, and even in some mountainous areas and the Heihe River in the north.
It's snowing. How can I not be anxious in the face of such weather?"
"The army itself has a lot of training, our food does not have that much oil and water, and the army's cold tolerance is not very good. Under such circumstances, if you don't wear warm clothes, you will get frostbite. Think of more ways
, a living person cannot be choked to death by urine."
