Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Yu Ye was very happy when he saw truckloads of cotton being moved to the warehouse of the logistics department.

This is not just cotton. It is the clothes that the soldiers will wear to keep warm. It is also tons of nitrocellulose and bullets shot at the Japanese.

"Minister, when will our textile factory start construction? What kind of work do you need me to do during this period?" Xiuqin's impetuous personality was revealed at this time.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still confessing his love to Lao Li, and now he is preparing to go back to work in the textile factory.

"Hahaha, sister-in-law, you don't have to be so anxious. You will be busy next."

Yu Ye smiled.

But this did not stop Xiuqin from wanting to work, so Zhao Gang stepped forward to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, look, now almost every household has already harvested their cotton.

I will send two squads of soldiers to follow you. Go and buy back the cotton that we agreed to with the villagers.

According to Lao Yu’s previous calculations, the arsenal would need about 20,000 kilograms.

But you must spend money to buy it back.

We must remember our discipline and not take even a single needle or thread from the masses!"

"Ok!"

When Xiuqin heard that Zhao Gang had assigned her a task, her mood instantly became high, as she now had work to do.

"By the way, sister-in-law, you can also mention the matter of our textile factory during this process, so that recruiting people can be put on the agenda."

"Okay! Political Commissar, don't worry about this. If the villagers heard that we can help, they would put down their work and come.

Moreover, as you just said, this textile factory also pays wages, so everyone will rush to come here."

"Then our independent regiment's cotton-padded jacket depends on you, Xiuqin!"

The wedding date had already been set, and when Old Li looked at Xiuqin, his eyes could not help but show tenderness, without any trace of the toughness that he had shown before.

"Okay, Captain, I'll go then!"

"Be safe."

Xiuqin jumped up and down, as if she had endless energy.

Yu Ye and Zhao Gang watched Xiuqin leave, and then looked at Lao Li's worried look. The two of them had smiles of satisfaction on their faces like old fathers that never stopped.

Just after sending Xiuqin out the door, news came from the sentry that people from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had arrived, driving two trucks.

Upon hearing the news from the sentry post, the three core members of the independent regiment looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. What was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army here for this time?

In order not to overly stimulate all parties in the battle of Yelangyu, the Independent Regiment even reported the results of the battle only within our own team, and also suggested to the headquarters not to convey the results to other teams, so as to reduce the impact as much as possible.

It seems that the transport team leader and the commander of the Second War Zone would not be happy to publicize the fact that the Independent Regiment had won another victory. Logically speaking, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army should not have had such a reaction.

The three of them thought about it for a while, but couldn't come to any conclusion.

Finally, Lao Li simply waved his hand and said, "Forget it. As long as the vehicle is not filled with explosives, let them in. Leave the equipment outside the village and bring the people to the regiment headquarters."

"Yes!"

In less than half an hour, the monk led several Shanxi Suiyuan Army soldiers to the regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang went out to greet them and found that Battalion Commander Zhu Xing, who had sent gifts of comfort to them and handed a visiting card to Old Li last time, was there.

Wow, this is someone close to Commander Yan.

The leader did not look like a soldier, but he was wearing the uniform of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and his military rank was not low. He was actually a colonel and a senior regimental-level cadre, on the same level as Chu Yunfei.

"Is this Captain Li? Hello, hello."

The leader did not put on any airs and took the initiative to greet Li Yunlong.

"Yes, I wonder if you are?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Shutian, and I am currently the general manager of the Northwest Manufacturing Plant."

The man introduced calmly.

Although it was just a light remark, it was like a thunderclap in the ears of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. Having been in Shanxi for so long, although they had never seen some core figures of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in person, many of them had heard of them.

Zhang Shutian is Commander Yan's confidant and is in charge of the Northwest Manufacturing Plant. He can be said to be the person who controls the entire Jin industrial system.

What does it mean that Commander Yan suddenly sent a person of this level?

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and saw the confusion and worry in each other's eyes.

Old Li reacted quickly: "Boss Zhang, why did we come to this poor mountain valley? We don't have anything here that Boss Zhang would like."

"Captain Li, you are joking. We have seen all the tough battles you have fought with the Japanese in the past six months. I am afraid that everyone in the world is paying attention to you.

Captain Li, you are criticizing me by saying this."

Since Zhang Shutian can sit in such a position, he must be a very smart person.

"No, no, Mr. Zhang, you are too kind. I wonder why Mr. Zhang is here this time?"

Zhao Gang didn't want to continue such meaningless politeness with this guy, so he went straight to the point and asked Zhang Shutian about his purpose in coming.

"Political Commissar Zhao, just now Commander Li asked me if there was anyone I liked. I'm just a clerk, but your department has indeed done a lot to catch Commander Yan's eye.

In the past six months or so, your unit has fought many tough battles, and the weapons and equipment used were extraordinary.

Commander Yan heard that your unit had built a very advanced arsenal, and he specifically ordered me to bring two machine tools to support the anti-Japanese cause.

I hope your department will accept it."

As he spoke, Zhang Shutian pointed at several trucks behind him. The soldiers lifted the curtain, and three machine tools appeared in front of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"this?"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang widened their eyes. They didn't expect Commander Yan to be so open-minded.

"You two, Commander Yan is quite generous this time."

"Thank you, Commander Yan!"

Li Yunlong cupped his hands. Although he didn't know much about machine tool models, the size looked quite impressive.

"Since this is the case, I have a request. I heard that the director of your arsenal is a strange man. I am also in charge of military work. I would like to have a good chat with him and discuss things.

I wonder if you two could invite him out.”

Zhang Shutian stared at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with burning eyes.

The two men felt a pang in their hearts at the same time. They had not let Lao Yu come out just now to prevent the Shanxi Suiyuan Army from targeting him, but they did not expect that the Shanxi Suiyuan Army came this time just to see him.

So this is where the action is?
