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

In Lei Zhi's new farm,

Wu Zhengping arrived at dawn with a group of workers, and the cargo box of their pickup truck was filled with cocoa seedlings.

The tender green leaves of these seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, full of vitality. The workers checked the shovels, hoes, and buckets one by one to ensure that the tools were complete and intact.

Then, the workers dispersed to their respective areas, swinging shovels and hoes to dig tree pits. Each time they used great strength, soon their foreheads were covered with sweat. But they were skilled, and the depth and size of the tree pits they dug were just right.

After the pit was dug, a worker gently placed the cocoa seedling into the pit, straightened it with both hands, and allowed the roots to stretch naturally.

The workers nearby then filled the soil with shovels, stepping lightly with their feet as they filled, so that the soil fits tightly with the roots so that the saplings can take root firmly.

This is the cocoa seedling that Lei Zhi received from Haizhou Department Store!

He originally wanted to plant rubber trees, but his son Lei Weiming gave him a suggestion to plant cocoa trees instead.

Because the demand for cocoa powder in China is very high, the supply is very tight, and the price keeps rising.

The maturity period of rubber trees takes 6-8 years! At the same time, due to the emergence of synthetic rubber, the demand for natural rubber has been declining, and the price has also been falling!

Of course, the cocoa seedlings were cultivated by Yin Xinjun in the space! For a long time to come, Haizhou Capital will be China's largest trading partner!

Therefore, a large number of materials that cannot be produced domestically or are in short supply must be provided here! For example, cocoa trees, oil palm trees, and rubber trees!

Yin Xinjun cultivated a large number of high-quality seeds in the space and placed them in department stores for free distribution!

Another crop that is being developed is rice! Due to the favorable climate conditions in Kalimantan, rice can be harvested three times a year, and its planting is of great strategic significance! It can be exported in large quantities to fill the reserve warehouse!

The brand new cement road coming from Haizhou has been named Rubber Avenue. 40% of the construction work of the 20-kilometer-long Rubber Avenue has been completed!

At the end of the rubber avenue,

The construction of the rubber plantation town is also in full swing.

The bulldozer waved its bucket, leveling the uneven land bit by bit. The raised dust spread in the sunlight, as if the earth was expressing its excitement about its upcoming transformation.

Workers wearing helmets were busy and orderly, and their figures could be seen in every corner. Some were measuring and laying out lines, and the instruments in their hands accurately located each key node, outlining the initial blueprint for the entire rubber plantation town.

Hundreds of dump trucks coming and going are carrying debris!

At the construction site, a young man wearing a straw hat was patrolling with a group of people, with an excited look on his face. He was the town mayor Chen Huian!

Today he brought town officials at all levels to meet with the construction unit to see if there is anything they can help coordinate!

Chen Huian is from Maoming, Guangdong. He was once the deputy mayor of Dianbai Town in Maoming. He was also one of the first batch of local cadres transferred to assist.

Although the town has not been built yet, Chen Huian has quickly entered into working mode. He brings cadres at all levels to visit and connect with plantation owners every day, asking them if they have any problems that need to be solved.

Three days ago, Chen Huian built a temporary office area for the town government next to the construction project department, with a total of fifteen tents, and the town government officially entered operation!

Next to Chen Huian, Yang Nan, manager of the Rubber Garden Town Project Department of Huiteng Construction Company, said,

"Mayor, there are 47 rubber trees that need to be removed from the Rubber Plantation Town Primary School. Mr. Huang, the owner of the plantation, said he doesn't recognize the money you gave him!"

Chen Huian was stunned.

"He dares not to admit it?"

“It’s the newly issued Haizhou currency!”

Chen Huian's face turned serious.

"What right does he have to refuse to recognize the new banknotes issued by the government? Just take them off. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!"

Turning his head, he said to a man in a black police uniform,

"Captain Zhao, please arrange for a few police officers to go over there. He doesn't even acknowledge the currency issued by the government!?"

The Haizhou State has finally started issuing the banknotes it commissioned to print domestically. The Haizhou currency is freely convertible with the RMB at a 1:1 ratio! In order to promote the current large-scale construction, the first batch of issuance has reached 500 billion!

According to the regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance and Materials of Haizhou State, the ocean dollars and British pounds will be gradually recovered and no longer put into circulation, but the old currency can still be used within three years!

North Korea!

South Bank of Imjin River,

At dawn, facing the multiple infiltrations of the Volunteer Army,

The British Army's 5th Brigade was like a hornet whose nest was suddenly disturbed, and its camp was instantly blown up.

They suddenly discovered that there were volunteers everywhere, in the front, in the back, on the left wing, on the right wing, it seemed that the volunteers were everywhere!

The defense line that had been trying to organize resistance was easily torn apart like paper under the overwhelming attack of the Volunteer Army. The soldiers' faces were full of fear, their eyes were full of panic and despair, and their usual arrogance and confidence were gone.

On a mountain road in the rainy south, the sounds of vehicle engines, soldiers' shouts, and gunfire intertwined into a chaotic noise.

British trucks and jeeps were jammed together, some even overturned on the roadside, blocking the escape route. Drivers honked their horns frantically, but could only watch the road ahead blocked. In desperation, they had to abandon their vehicles and flee.

The soldiers threw away their armor and helmets, their guns were thrown casually in the snow, and their heavy backpacks became a burden and were thrown away by them.

They rolled and crawled on the rugged mountain road, the ground under their feet was soaked in blood and mud, and every step was extremely difficult. Some injured soldiers had no time to be helped and were ruthlessly left behind by the panicked crowd, wailing in pain.

The cold wind howled across the chaotic battlefield. The British soldiers huddled together and fled desperately to the rear under the pursuit of the Volunteer Army. There were scattered equipment, documents and discarded supplies everywhere along the way!

The 346th Company of the 4th Regiment led by Zhou Kui ran very fast.

When they reached an intersection, they saw a British convoy retreating from the north!

"Row one, row two, seize the high ground on both sides!" Zhou Kui gave orders loudly!

One of the three Type 4 assault gun vehicles assigned to the 3th Company at the regiment level broke down on the road!

The remaining two assault guns immediately opened fire at the British convoy!

With a deafening sound, the first shell tore through the air like lightning and hit a Centurion tank accurately. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, metal fragments flew, and the hit part of the British tank was engulfed in flames. The turret was twisted and deformed, and the British soldiers in the tank were swallowed by the blast before they could react effectively.

The British were caught off guard by the sudden attack, but soon tried to counterattack. The remaining Centurion tanks turned their guns, but the Volunteer Army tanks relied on their flexible mobility to quickly change positions and shuttle through the dense smoke, making it difficult for the British to lock on.

Then, the second shell whizzed out, and another Centurion tank was hit, its tracks were blown off, and it collapsed on the spot, emitting billowing black smoke. The British army was in chaos, and the soldiers jumped out of the tanks in a panic, trying to find cover.
