Zhao Gang also said with a grim expression: "In recent days, our troops have expanded too fast, and the Japanese have never stopped infiltrating our base. The number of Japanese spies and insiders we have discovered alone is over a hundred, and there are probably even more that we haven't discovered!"
"I'm afraid our plan to receive disaster victims has already been known by the devils. There may also be many devil spies among the victims. If this continues, our base will really have no secrets at all. Compared with the upcoming food and fuel crisis, I am more worried about our internal crisis!"
"The rebellion of Zhou Tiezhu and Hao Dalei has given us a wake-up call. These days we have been busy expanding our military strength and manpower, but our efforts in counter-espionage are not as strong as before. In addition, these spies are hiding very secretly, so it is very difficult to find them."
"The only good news now is that there have been no more leaks from the arsenal in recent days, but the workers have not left the arsenal for a long time. It's okay for a short period of time, but if it lasts for more than half a year and they are not allowed to leave, there is a high possibility of civil unrest."
"In order to appease the soldiers in the arsenal, I decided to improve their food standards and increase the supply of canned beef. They will eat meat once a week instead of once every two weeks. In addition, we will give them two more eggs every week. We can fully afford these additional expenses!"
Li Yunlong had no objection to this. In order to produce more weapons and ammunition, the soldiers of the arsenal adopted a three-shift production method to ensure that people rested but machines did not. This greatly increased the production capacity of various weapons and ammunition in the arsenal. It was only natural to improve their treatment.
"Lao Zhao, the food standard you raised is a bit petty. Eating meat once a week is too little. Change it to once every three days. After all, the soldiers in the arsenal consume a lot of physical energy every day and have no time to relax. We can only subsidize them in food. Last time, I brought back more than 3000 kilograms of apples from the landlord's house. I took out 1000 kilograms to reward the soldiers in the arsenal, and another 100 kilograms to reward the pilots. The remaining kilograms will be kept for rewarding meritorious soldiers later."
"I, Li Yunlong, have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If anyone can make great contributions to the base, I, Li Yunlong, will definitely not be stingy with rewards. When the time comes, we will hurry up and dry the persimmon cakes, so that the soldiers can eat persimmon cakes during the New Year, so that the New Year can be more lively."
Ding Wei took over Li Yunlong's words and said seriously, "Zhangjiazhuang market has been completely on track these days. Now we can get 30 kilograms of grain every day. The purchase of rubber has been suspended. After all, rubber is an item that the devils control very strictly. If it weren't for gaining our trust, we wouldn't be able to receive nearly two tons of rubber. Fortunately, we have opened up a rubber transportation line, so we don't have to worry about rubber anymore."
Before Ding Wei could continue, he was interrupted by Lin Zhenhua: "Captain Ding, the situation may be exactly the opposite of what you expected. We must speed up the pace of rubber reserves in the next six months. The amount of rubber reserves must at least guarantee our needs for the next two years. Don't think I'm joking or exaggerating. In fact, what I said is the truth."
"According to my guess, the Japanese are planning to attack Nanyang. It will become a real battlefield. It will be much more difficult for us to obtain rubber in the future. We must take advantage of this time to stockpile more."
"When I talked to Chen Minggeng before, he told me that he could provide 20 tons of rubber every month. As he has more and more money, I estimate that he can provide us with 50 tons of rubber every month. There is absolutely no problem. At this time, we must increase the production of medicines and make a fortune."
"Those two miracle drugs are our real flagship products. After I diluted them, the efficacy is still very good. We have always sold diluted drugs before. The feedback now is similar to what I expected, and there have been no unexpected situations."
"We have to make a fortune before these two miracle drugs are copied abroad. We will use Chen Minggeng to purchase large quantities of crude oil and materials for us. The reason why I emphasize crude oil is that we need oil when synthesizing sulfonamides. We have received a lot of crude oil through other channels before, but the amount cannot meet our future production needs."
In fact, Lin Zhenhua didn't say one thing, that is, he got a lot of raw material concentrates from the system rewards, otherwise the production of the anti-inflammatory drug sulfa would not be so stable. Using petroleum to extract raw material concentrates was just a cover. In order to cover up the raw material concentrates rewarded from the system in his hands, it only takes three steps of reaction to get the anti-inflammatory drug sulfa. Although Lin Zhenhua did not figure out the principle, he knew how powerful this raw material concentrate was.
"When we were producing the raw material concentrate before, I was the only one responsible for it in order to keep it confidential. But once we increase the production of the anti-inflammatory drug sulfonamide, our current raw material concentrate will be in short supply, so I thought about importing crude oil. But I also did some calculations and found that if we transport the fuel back, we would basically be doing a losing business. We can only bring back one liter of crude oil for one liter of fuel, which is really not cost-effective."
"But our synthetic fuel has a fatal flaw, which is that it can only be stored for one month. After one month, a large amount of it will evaporate, which will seriously affect the performance of the fighter. That's why I came up with the idea of purchasing fuel from outside and separating it myself, to see if I can increase the storage time of the fuel. Now the experiment is almost over. If the storage time cannot be increased, then I will significantly reduce the import volume of crude oil and only use it to ensure the production of medicines."
Everyone present, including Li Yunlong, was very shocked. They were not shocked by the fuel issue, but by the fact that the Japanese would attack Southeast Asia, which was completely beyond their expectations and would have a major impact on the subsequent domestic situation.
Li Yunlong suppressed his inner anxiety and asked with red eyes: "College student, are you sure what you just said is true? Are the Japanese really going to attack the Nanyang region?"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhenhua couldn't help but shudder, and answered firmly: "The Japanese will soon attack the Nanyang region. I estimate that it will take no more than half a year, and if it's faster, it will start in three or four months! The fact that so many Japanese divisions went south before was actually a sign. Through a large-scale mopping-up operation, the Japanese quickly completed the trial of new recruits. According to the information we received before, the number of troops that passed through Taiyuan alone reached six divisions. From this, we can see the next move of the Japanese."
"After all, most of the southern regions have been occupied by the Japanese, and the remaining southwest region is a tough nut to crack. It is not conducive to the deployment of large-scale forces. The Japanese are carrying out large-scale troop mobilizations, and it is impossible to use them to attack us. Then we can only attack outward. In addition, the Japanese rookie pilots we encountered before have further verified this."
"When I opened up the air transport line these days, I found that the Japanese were not as concerned about patrolling the surrounding airspace as before. This should be related to the large number of Japanese pilots being withdrawn. I originally planned to notify the brigade headquarters of this matter and let the brigade commander notify the headquarters and spread the news through the headquarters' channels, but now we can't contact the brigade headquarters at all. If we want to contact the outside world, we must hurry up and get a radio! But radios are really difficult to get. We have fought so many battles and only seized two radios in total. One was given to the brigade headquarters, and the other was kept in our hands, but it has been damaged and is not worth repairing!"
Li Yunlong didn't care about the radio station at all now. After listening to Lin Zhenhua's analysis, his face became more and more ugly. Once the Japanese started to attack the Nanyang region, the blockade of the base would become tighter. The hard days of the base would soon come.
"Old Zhao, the situation has changed. We only have four months to prepare. We must prepare for a tough battle."
"Old Ding, tomorrow you have to raise the purchase price of grain by 10% compared to the original price. At the same time, lower the prices of other materials, even the price of copper by 10%. The prices of other materials should be lowered by at least 20%. You have to do this tomorrow. We have to nip in the bud all the signs of a food crisis and speed up the reserve of grain!"
"Old Xing, continue to speed up the conscription for me. At this time, don't be afraid. We can't afford it. Even if we double the number of troops, our base can still afford it. I will find a way if we can't afford it. We must expand the troops as soon as possible during this period of time. I don't expect these new recruits to fight the devils one-on-one, but I have to make sure that these new recruits don't wet their pants on the battlefield. I won't do something that will make people poke my back and send new recruits who can't even fire a gun to the battlefield!"
"Old Kong, you need to pay more attention to the disaster victims. You can't do anything by yourself. Mobilize the two or three battalion commanders under you. I will give you two months at most. After two months, all the channels for external communication of the base will be closed. Don't blame me for being cruel. I really don't know what the college students are planning to do. I have to prepare for the worst in advance!"
"Old Zhao, you have the most important task next. You will be responsible for the resettlement of the disaster victims, and you will also be in charge of the logistics of the base. I will be mainly responsible for the construction of the arsenal and the recruit training ground. We must hurry up to build the training ground so that the soldiers who have undergone recruit training can be put into real battlefield simulation training as soon as possible."
"College student, the air transport line is very important to our base. From now on, it will be up to you to maintain it. No matter what method you use, you must reserve 60 tons of rubber and daily necessities worth a million dollars within two months!"
