Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Jiaodong Peninsula, Yantai, Nanjiakou Port,

Ten sailboats were scattered on the white sea, and the dock was crowded with a huge crowd of people.

These people were all in civilian clothes, and they didn't carry even a rifle, except for dozens of pistols.

They were from a regiment of the Second Division of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Military Region.

Battalion commander Zhang Wenjiu looked at the crowd of soldiers, his heart filled with excitement. They were about to embark on a journey to the Northeast!

"Zhang Wenjiu!" The voice of the regiment leader Cheng Wei came to my ears.

"To!"

"Has your battalion arrived yet?"

"Report to the captain, everyone is here!"

"Get on board on time in one hour!"

Zhang Wenjiu asked with some concern,

"Captain, we don't even have guns anymore. Is that appropriate?"

Cheng Wei smiled and said,

"Don't worry, we've been notified from above that the vanguard troops in the Northeast have called and told us that there are Japanese military warehouses everywhere, and guns and ammunition are everywhere. We can't take them all. We need to go there quickly!"

One hour called out!

"Look! Aunt Wu and the others are here!"

Aunt Wu is a landlord in the village where the regiment is stationed.

I saw a few kind-hearted ladies, each holding a stack of carefully made cloth shoes in their hands, walking towards the soldiers with firm and hurried steps.

That weather-beaten face was full of traces of time, but at this moment it was filled with determination and joy.

They wore coarse cloth clothes that were washed a little white, and the corners of their clothes fluttered gently in the wind. They held their cloth shoes firmly in their arms, like treasures. Each pair of cloth shoes had fine stitches, and they had poured countless days and nights of hard work and care into it.

Soldiers came forward one after another. Aunt Wu, with tears in her eyes, handed the cloth shoes to the soldiers, saying, "Children, wear these shoes and win more battles! Come back soon!"

Cheng Wei hurried over and gave Aunt Wu a solemn military salute!

The autumn harvest has begun!

Finance Bureau Director Chen Yao also started thinking. Since the county magistrate said that the people should be put first, and in order to further stimulate economic development, he began to drastically reduce the tax burden on the people!

The County Finance Bureau has issued the Mulan County Finance and Taxation Management Measures, stipulating that the proportion of public grain submitted by rural areas is 10%. In addition, tax rates are also stipulated for industrial and commercial activities, and 13 tax types have been formulated, but the maximum does not exceed 15%!

Compared with the past, the burden on farmers has dropped most significantly, from 50% to 10%, and the tax burden on industry and commerce has also been halved!

In addition, the Magnolia Economic Development Bank has launched two personal loan businesses. The first is agricultural loans, which are loans issued to farmers for the purchase of seeds, farm tools, etc. The interest rate is 3%! Use land deeds or grain as collateral!

The second one is the Industrial and Commercial Loan! It is used to invest in business owners, using real estate or gold, silver, and other valuables as collateral to purchase equipment and raw materials. The interest rate is 5%!

Just like that, in just 10 days,

The first batch of banknotes issued was spent.

Sai Mulan counted on her fingers and realized that money had to be spent everywhere, including military expenses, salaries, education, health, and every village and town!

Fortunately, the Supply and Marketing Bureau actually handed over 173 million yuan this time! These days, the sales of Mulan Department Store are extremely hot, especially canned fish milk powder, cigarettes, candy, and chocolate. Because the prices are right, many merchants buy in large quantities and even resell them to Harbin and Fengtian!

For some of these materials, Yin Xinjun does not plan to supply them as long-term military supplies, but rather to combine them between the military and civilians. For example, he will distribute a batch of cigarettes during festivals, after a victory, or even when there are combat missions. However, most of them are still sold as civilian goods. Of course, this is also to stabilize the value of the shopping vouchers!

As for the rice, flour and other food in the space, Yin Xinjun planned to keep them as seeds for next year, but he has stopped the supply!

Other items such as thermal underwear, cotton-padded clothes, shoes, etc. were intended to be supplied as military supplies to the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and even the People's Liberation Army and the Volunteer Army, but they were not put on the market at all!

There is another magic weapon, penicillin, which has been produced at a rate of 1000 doses per day for several years. Yin Xinjun thought about it and still did not dare to take it out. He was worried that this thing would cause a sensation once it was on the market and would attract the Soviets, which would be very troublesome!

It’s not that he was afraid of the Soviets, but he didn’t know what kind of unknown impact a real fight would have on the subsequent Liberation War, so he tried his best to restrain the conflict with the Soviets!

The outcome of the Liberation War has been determined. What Yin Xinjun has to do is very simple, that is, to add icing on the cake. He has to focus his main energy on the industrialization process of Mulan! Ensure that the People's Liberation Army can get a steady supply of logistics and ensure that the Volunteer Army will no longer lack cotton clothes!

Mulan County,

Xinmin Town,

In a desolate wilderness, the ground trembled slightly under the crushing of tank tracks. Smoke filled the air, blocking out the sun, and the tank troops swept in like a surging steel torrent.

Dozens of tanks roared forward, their bodies gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight. The dirt and sand kicked up by the tracks flew all over the sky, forming a series of turbid smoke screens.

Inside the tank, the soldiers looked solemn, with determination and courage in their eyes. The driver held the joystick tightly with both hands, flexibly controlling the steel beast to gallop on the rugged terrain. The gunner concentrated on searching for targets through the sight, not letting go of any threat.

Following the commander's order, dazzling flames spurted out of the muzzles, and the shells roared out like thunder, exploding into huge fireballs and billowing smoke at the target point in the distance. Deafening explosions came one after another, as if they were about to tear the entire world apart.

Today, Yin Xinjun mainly came to inspect Tang Yantian’s tank battalion. Currently, the tank battalion already has 65 tanks and 40 armored vehicles, but the staffing has reached more than 580 people!

At the junction of Xinmin Town and Bayan County,

Tang Yantian owns an outdoor live-fire training ground with a radius of 10 kilometers!

Every week, the tank battalion conducts at least two live-fire training exercises at the training ground!

Yin Xinjun stood at the observation platform, holding up a telescope and observing carefully, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Yantian, I'll give you 10 more chariots next week!"

There are currently 263 chariots in Yin Xinjun's space. After taking out 100 chariots from Mulan County, he still has 163 chariots!

"Brother-in-law, thank you!" Tang Yantian has been tanned recently. He trains with the troops every day! He even eats and lives with the soldiers in Xinmin Town, not far from the training ground!

"Yan Tian, ​​I ask you to become the first fast armored assault group of our army! When you are deployed to actual combat in the future, you must be able to be invincible and unbeatable!" Yin Xinjun said seriously.

"Our army? Brother-in-law, do you mean the Communist Party's army?" Tang Yantian asked.

"Of course, you have to remember that we will fight for the new China in the future. Only with the new China can we Chinese truly stand up!" Yin Xinjun said slowly.

"Yes!" Tang Yantian was also very excited!

A messenger ran over.

"Report, Deputy Commander Ding is calling!"

"Read!"

"Reporting to the commander, the director of the Construction Bureau, Wang Shuigen, has returned from Harbin. He brought a few people with him. I want to ask the commander when he is free!"

Yin Xinjun couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face. He looked down at his watch.

"Call back, have them come to my office at 2pm!"

In the office, there is a huge walnut oval table with a mirror-like tabletop that reflects the soft light. The edge of the table is carefully carved with delicate patterns, showing nobility and refinement.

Behind the desk, there is a comfortable leather chair with a soft and elastic seat. The backrest is high, supporting people's waist and back. The armrests are inlaid with metal decorations, shining with a cold luster.

Several men sat on the sofa!

One of them was wearing a dark grey leather jacket, thick and warm. He said in surprise,

"Shui Gen, I didn't expect the office of the Security Command to be so exquisite! This wooden table is a rare item made of real material, walnut. I estimate that this table costs at least 500 dollars!"

"Yeah, Shuigen, why are there so many projects in Mulan County? My company has just been established, haha!"

Wang Shuigen smiled and said,

"Look, we are all brothers. How can I forget you when something good happens?"

"The commander is here!"

Yin Xinjun walked quickly into the room.

He was wearing a khaki cotton jacket today. This was a piece of clothing produced in the space and has now been equipped to the troops on a large scale!

After all, the Japs have already surrendered, so there is no point in wearing their clothes!

Yin Xinjun called out,

"Oops, sorry everyone, something happened in the army. Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Wang Shuigen stood up immediately.

"Commander, let me introduce these people. They are my classmates from college. I came all the way from Fengtian to Harbin. They are Liu Dazhi, Wu Hui, and Jiang Mankang! They have just established a construction company and are ready to do something big!"

Yin Xinjun took out a cigarette and spread it around.

"That's perfect! I promise that you can show off your skills here!"
