Chapter 318 These two bastards are so short-sighted that they have completely disgraced me!
Lin Zhenhua led the transport plane formation back to the transfer station. That night, he called Heshang and Duan Peng over and said in a serious tone, "What I am going to tell you two is very important. You two must listen carefully and do everything I tell you to do. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"This time we brought back 30 tons of rubber and supplies worth oceans. Next, the transport aircraft formation will officially start the large-scale transportation operation. The first and second teams will transport the supplies back to the base from the transfer station, and the third team will be responsible for transferring the supplies from Wang Daniu's house to the transfer station. The transfer station will be very busy in the future. There will be supplies worth oceans docked every day. You need to immediately assemble the steel structure we brought to store the supplies to avoid getting wet by the rain!"
"It has been nearly a month since we found this place, but it has not rained once. This does not make me happy, but makes me more worried. The more weather like this, the more likely it is to rain heavily. You must prepare for rain in advance."
"I previously arranged for you to dig four cellars to store water. Now we will increase the number from four to eight, and the area will be doubled. For safety reasons, we will also need to dig a few holes on the side of the city wall so that rainwater can be drained out in time."
"Tomorrow I will follow the first and second teams back to the base. Three days later I will bring a large amount of supplies. Next, a large amount of materials for construction will be airlifted to the transfer station. You must be prepared to receive them."
"Monk, you are responsible for guarding the base. In addition to the visible and invisible sentries, you must also send a squad of soldiers to look for Hao Dalei. This man is a huge threat if he is alive. We must find him and kill him to nip the danger in the bud!"
"Duan Peng, you are responsible for all the affairs in the city. You need to build the defense checkpoints where the barracks and supplies are stored. I will bring you some empty buckets when I come back next time, specifically for you to use to store water!"
"Regarding your material supplies, I have already made a plan. I will airlift a batch of daily necessities from the base to ensure that you will have no problem with your needs for a month. If you really have nothing to eat, you can keep the canned food and compressed biscuits that are transported."
Lin Zhenhua picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. His dry throat felt much better. He looked at Duan Peng and Monk Wei, whispered a few words to them, and then left to rest with peace of mind.
Monk Wei and Duan Peng did not expect that Lin Zhenhua was so bold. He planned to raise cattle and sheep here and kill them for meat. The leftovers could be transported directly back to the base as a source of meat for the base.
"Duan Peng, what do you think of this plan of the college students? Why do I feel that it is a little unreliable? I took a walk around the grassland, and it is indeed quite large. There are two pieces in total, big and small, connected in the middle, which add up to an area of 30 square kilometers. If it is used to raise sheep and cattle, it can indeed raise a lot, but we have no experience in grazing, and this stuff is not easy to raise. You want us to turn it into a breeding base, but why do I feel that it is a little unreliable?" Monk Wei asked with some brain-burning.
Duan Peng also felt tremendous pressure. He felt that Lin Zhenhua had big ambitions as well. He wanted to turn this city into a secret base. Maybe they would have to cultivate the land in the spring of next year. However, there was a large Gobi desert outside the city. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to grow food and vegetables.
"Monk, let's do what the college student tells us to do first. When it comes to using our brains, the two of us combined are no match for the college student alone. Let's not think too much about it. Let's just do whatever the student tells us to do!"
"This air transport route will become very busy in the future. I estimate that the college students will bring more people with them next time they come. We should lay a good foundation first so that we can accommodate more people when the time comes!"
Duan Peng did not continue to say the rest of the words, he knew that Monk Wei understood what he meant. The two of them returned to their residence in distress, called the squad leaders under them to a meeting, arranged the tasks, and then planned to rest.
Before the two of them had a chance to sleep, they got up and started to get busy, helping the transport planes to refuel. The eight transport planes returned to the base at five in the morning, arrived at Maoershan Airport a little after five in the afternoon, and landed safely.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had been waiting for a long time. When the door of the transport plane opened and they saw the piles of rubber inside, they finally showed joy on their faces. The rubber inventory of the arsenal was already running low, and now there was finally a large amount of income, and the worries on their faces were swept away.
"Zhou Haiyang, Zhao Yiping, you two must lead your soldiers to unload the rubber from the transport plane, load it onto trucks, and transport it to the arsenal. I have arranged for someone to receive it there. No one is allowed to enter the arsenal. If anyone is mistaken for a Japanese spy and shot, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Lao Zhao, hurry up and arrange for the pilots to rest. I will take the college students back to the headquarters first. After everything is arranged, we will have a good meal tonight. I took out two months' allowance and bought two bottles of sweet potato wine and a roast chicken to celebrate that we have finally opened up this air transport line!" Li Yunlong urged with a happy face.
Zhao Gang did not refute Li Yunlong's words, and said with a smile: "Old Li, you bought a roast chicken, and the reward was given to the pilots who participated in this mission. Today, we have taken advantage of you, Old Li, and finally we can eat your meat. I have to drink an extra glass tonight to celebrate. You, Li Yunlong, are finally not a stingy person!"
Zhao Gang's teasing words made everyone laugh. Li Yunlong was about to say something funny when he saw Lin Zhenhua coming over. They hugged each other, left the airport by car, and rushed back to the regiment headquarters.
Lin Zhenhua looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and wiped his eyes in disbelief. Today's meal was very good. All the dishes served were meat, not even a single vegetarian dish.
"Old Li, isn't today's table a Hongmen Banquet? How can it be so sumptuous? But this roast chicken looks a little ridiculous. Why is there only half a chicken? Canned beef, canned fish, scrambled eggs, half a roast chicken, a plate of pork with Chinese cabbage, and a dish of peanuts. This dish is really hard!" Lin Zhenhua said mischievously with a smile on his face.
Li Yunlong sat down carelessly, and said with a smile: "This is not a Hongmen Banquet. I am just happy. Our air transport line is finally open. Next, there will be a steady stream of supplies shipped in from outside. This is really good news for us. You are really reliable. You know to send Ma Xiaoliu back to deliver the message. Otherwise, I will have to worry about it."
"We have 13 transport planes in our base. This new transport plane has not completed any transport missions. Instead, it has wasted a lot of fuel to come here to report the news. I am really distressed. We must not do this again next time. It is better to save some fuel. We have consumed a lot of our reserve fuel these days. I suspect that if we continue like this, our coal-to-oil will hardly be able to supply the base's fuel consumption."
Li Yunlong expressed his concerns. Ding Wei and Kong Jie also had such concerns. Especially after the troops were equipped with armored units in the future, the demand for fuel would be even greater. They had to start stockpiling from now on. Otherwise, once the fuel was gone, these war machines would be forced to stop. They would not even be as useful as a rifle and could only be used as fixed artillery positions.
Zhao Gang also walked in from outside at this time. Hearing Li Yunlong bring up this topic, he quickly replied: "With the commissioning of the third set of coal-to-oil equipment, our fuel supply pressure is much smaller than before, but as more of our fighter jets enter service, I'm afraid it won't be long before a new fuel crisis will appear. This doesn't even include the fuel used by trucks and armored units. If we add them in, the amount will increase several times. The three sets of coal-to-oil equipment simply can't supply what we need. We must find a way to find an oil field. Only in this way can we solve the future fuel crisis."
Lin Zhenhua replied somewhat depressedly: "I just came back to eat, and you guys won't let me eat in peace. Let's eat and talk at the same time. My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time, and I have to eat something quickly. I have already noted down what Lao Li and Lao Zhao said just now. If we want to solve this problem, we can only increase income and reduce expenditure."
"Opening up new sources of income is relatively simple. That is to purchase crude oil from outside and increase coal-to-oil equipment. I am in the process of purchasing crude oil. Adding coal-to-oil equipment is not difficult for us. It only takes 20 days to build a small coal-to-oil plant, which can increase our current production capacity by another %, and there should be no problem in ensuring the fuel consumption of current fighter jets."
"The way to save money is a bit difficult. That is to change the previous truck transportation to manpower and horsepower transportation, which will greatly reduce our transportation efficiency. It sounds like the methods I gave are a bit unreliable. I need to go back and think about this matter carefully. In addition, we have also stored some fuel before, so there will be no fuel crisis in the next month at least. For now, we can only take one step at a time to ensure the consumption of fuel for the air transportation line."
Then Lin Zhenhua told several people about his experiences in the past few days in detail. Everyone nodded secretly, thinking that Lin Zhenhua was very reliable and considerate of them. But after hearing that there were Japanese spies in the transfer station, everyone was indignant. Even Zhao Gang had no objection to Lin Zhenhua's decisive approach. After all, in that situation, military discipline must be strictly enforced and the Gordian knot must be cut quickly. Only in this way can a major chaos be avoided.
Li Yunlong was even more furious and said, "Damn it! Zhou Tiezhu and Hao Dalei, these two bastards, actually defected to the devils. A small puppet army commander bribed them. It's really a disgrace to me. I want to skin them alive this time!"
