Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

In fact, the order from the headquarters was very simple. It mainly asked all troops to stockpile food and ammunition in the next few months in order to prepare for the upcoming war.

Regarding this order, Political Commissar Wang emphasized:

"The brigade also won a lot of battles recently and seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition."

"After our meeting, we decided that, except for the 771st, 772nd, Independent and New st Regiments, each of the remaining troops can be allocated one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns, and there is also a base number of corresponding bullets."

"In addition, each rifle will be equipped with 20 rounds of ammunition. After the meeting, you will report the types of your respective rifles and go to the military district logistics department to collect them."

Hearing that they could receive so many weapons and ammunition, the relevant personnel must be very happy. With so much ammunition at once, the combat effectiveness of their troops will surely increase sharply.

Some troops didn’t even have three bullets before, but now they have twenty bullets, so they can fight several battles and are no longer just supporting roles.

However, Ding Wei still said, "Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, we don't need the weapons and ammunition, but we need to share some of the supplies that the independent regiment just handed over."

"Especially the refined lard, which will give the soldiers a few meals with oil, so they will have more strength to fight the Japanese in the future."

After hearing this, Captain Cheng and Captain Xu's eyes lit up, as their troops also lacked these things.

Finally, after discussion, most of the supplies Li Yunlong brought this time were distributed to various combat units.

In fact, this amount is not that much. The entire Taiyue Military Region has more than 20,000 troops combined, and if they are divided equally, there won't be much to get.

After the brigade commander and the political commissar finished speaking, Li Yunlong added:

"Recently, our independent regiment has established a small match factory. The output is not large, only 100,000 boxes of matches a month."

"I plan to keep 20,000 boxes for the independent regiment as the factory operating costs, hand over 30,000 boxes to the brigade headquarters, and hand over 50,000 boxes to the general logistics department."

"You can save a lot of money on this in the future. You can use our own matches."

After hearing this explosive news, the other people present were no longer calm. When it came to leading troops in battle, they were all experts and no one was willing to admit defeat.

But when it comes to opening factories to make money and revitalizing the economy of the base, they are completely clueless.

In fact, everyone knows that a troop cannot survive long relying solely on captured supplies.

The headquarters has also been emphasizing the need to "be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing."

Only by opening more workshops and providing the troops with various supplies can the troops grow and develop.

Ding Wei joked: "Lao Li, that's great. This will save our army some money."

"But you are really capable. You built a match factory without making any noise. You really impressed all of us."

Others also started to praise it. Although a box of matches was not valuable, a fly leg, no matter how small it was, was still meat, not to mention that it was given for free.

After hearing this, Political Commissar Wang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quietly calculated:

"Matches are five cents a box on the market right now. Thirty thousand boxes would be worth about fifteen hundred French francs. Not bad, really not bad."

After coming up with this number, he felt very happy. Although fifteen hundred yuan was not a lot, it was not small either. The money saved could be used for other things.

Brigade Commander Chen did not expect that Li Yunlong would give him such a big surprise in the end, but he immediately thought that this should have been done by Kong Hao who had returned from abroad.

When he thought of this, he asked with a hint of meaning:

"Li Yunlong, how can we help in setting up this match factory?"

When the others heard this, they also patted their chests and promised that they could be helped if they could be of any use.

After all, I have received so many benefits from others, so I have to show my appreciation.

Li Yunlong was waiting for this sentence. He took out a stack of papers from his pocket and gave a copy to the political commissar of each regiment present, even Political Commissar Wang.

"Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, and fellow soldiers, this is the list of raw materials for the match factory. If you can find some of the raw materials, you can send them to the Independent Regiment."

"Don't worry, I won't let your help go in vain. I can exchange it for matches."

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, everyone had no objection and put the list in their pockets, paying special attention to it in future battles.

This is a rare modern factory in their Taiyue Military Region. It is not a small workshop and needs to be carefully cared for.

Next, everyone discussed the matter further and ended the meeting.

However, Brigade Commander Chen deliberately kept Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang behind because he had something very important to tell them in private.

After everyone else left, Li Yunlong took out a list of supplies and handed it to the brigade commander:

"Commander, there were too many people just now, and it was difficult to divide these things, so I didn't bring them out to talk about."

Brigade Commander Chen took the list and looked at it carefully. He saw the following words written on it:

"190 pens, 900 bottles of ink, 900 pencils, 10 watches, 200 cartons of cigarettes, 800 flashlights, 2000 kilograms of bacon, and 400 kilograms of nails."

"38 scalpels, 42 surgical hemostats, 150 syringes, 25 bundles of sutures, 2800 bottles of alcohol, and 2000 rolls of medical bandages."

After finishing this list, Brigade Commander Chen was filled with emotion. It would cost a lot to get every item on this list.

Especially the medical supplies at the back, which are what the headquarters hospital urgently needs. We got so many of them at once. I wonder how happy Dean Zhao would be if he knew about it.

However, the more this happened, the more troublesome the subsequent conversation became. The inner struggle had already made the brigade commander extremely annoyed.

Li Yunlong, who was good at observing people's expressions, saw this situation and asked carefully:

"Brigade Commander, please don't scare me. I haven't caused any trouble recently, nor have I taken any extra food or possessions. Whenever I seize something good, I send it to the brigade headquarters."

"Although I also intercepted a part of it, you don't have to look like that, old man."

"If you're unhappy, you can just scold me a few times."

The brigade commander didn't know how to start, so he could only say softly:

"Political Commissar, you should speak for yourself."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang turned their eyes to the political commissar, wanting to get the answer from him.

Political Commissar Wang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"The headquarters sent a telegram to our military district, asking to transfer Kong Hao to the arsenal."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong jumped up immediately and shook his head like a rattle.

"No, this is absolutely not possible. Even if the boss wants me to take the blame, I will definitely not agree."
