Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Understanding these simple truths will lead to a deeper understanding of the saying: There are no permanent friends between nations, only eternal interests. Even Britain and the United States, who share the same ancestry and fought side by side during World War II, schemed against each other after the war.

Li Yunlong had limited interest in the areas he had identified, as national consciousness in these areas had already awakened, the cost of forcible occupation was too high, and the world situation would not give him much time to digest these places.

However, if the original French ruling model is maintained, there will still be profits. When the war is over, the country will be in ruins and Li Yunlong does not intend to follow the old path of sacrificing three generations of ordinary farmers in exchange for rapid development. Therefore, he can only "sacrifice" the people in these areas.

After all, the areas under Li Yunlong's control were all fertile lands with three crops a year, and they could rely on the food from these areas to overcome the initial difficulties. As for whether the people in these areas could have enough to eat, Li Yunlong didn't care. On this point, he and the bearded man agreed.

"I need to ask for instructions."

"Go ahead, you don't have much time!"

Li Yunlong continued to put pressure on France and did not give them much time to react.

Two days later, Li Yunlong formally signed a technology transfer agreement with John Bull and France, selling liquid missile technology to these two countries.

So far, Li Yunlong has sold missile technology to four countries: Russia, the United States, Russia and France.

However, a traitor appeared within the organization, stole the important information and sold it to an intelligence broker. Although the intelligence broker was captured and sentenced to death after trial, the information had already been transferred and Li Yunlong was unable to recover it.

Upon hearing the news, Li Yunlong was heartbroken and ordered to strengthen internal intelligence security work.

While Li Yunlong was busy selling missiles everywhere, East and West Siberia had already entered winter.

On a plain about fifty kilometers away from the Eastern Sayan Mountains, Yu Zhiqian was leading his men to spread a Russian bear flag on the ground.

"What a horrible weather! It's snowing so early!"

Yu Zhiqian has experienced many rotations of positions, starting as a guard for Li Yunlong, then serving as a battalion commander in the special operations force, and later being promoted to regimental commander due to his military achievements. Some time ago, he received an order from Li Yunlong to go to the Eastern Sayan Mountains, disguised as a guerrilla unit of the Mao Zedong, and served as the captain of this 10,000-man guerrilla force.

These more than 10,000 soldiers were elite troops selected from Ding Wei's and Kong Jie's troops. They were sent into the Siberian wilderness to adapt to the harsh weather and prepare for future operations.

"It's relatively late this year. This time last year, the mountain was already closed due to heavy snow!"

The deputy captain of the guerrilla unit, codenamed "Light of Victory," said with a smile, then looked up at the sky, "Is this the agreed location? Why hasn't the plane arrived yet?"

"Wait a little longer, maybe the Russian guy drank too much vodka and forgot the time!"

About five minutes later, more than a dozen planes appeared in the distant sky.

"Here we come, fire a flare to get their attention!"

"Yes!"

Soon, several signal flares exploded in the air. The Russian pilot, who was searching for ground targets in the air, saw the signal flares and immediately adjusted his course, flying towards Yu Zhiqian and others.

These planes are not fighter jets, but transport planes loaded with supplies.

This was the first batch of supplies, along with two Mao Zedong political commissars and three liaison officers. Only after the identity of this guerrilla group was confirmed would the second and third batches of airdrops be delivered.

Soon, the transport plane arrived over the target and the hatch opened.

Two Russian political commissars and three liaison officers jumped out of the plane first, followed by various supplies in the transport plane falling from the sky. After reaching a certain height, the parachutes opened one after another and bloomed in the air.

"Remember, first control the people sent by Mao Xiong. Don't let them find anything unusual!"

"Yes!"

Back then, skydiving was still a high-risk activity. After the parachute opened, the skydiver had little control over the direction and angle of descent.

Therefore, after the five men sent by the Russian bear opened their parachutes, they drifted with the wind and eventually landed in scattered places. Fortunately, the area was open enough, and after landing, the five men identified the direction and quickly moved towards Yu Zhiqian.

An hour later, everyone reunited with Yu Zhiqian and others and began to confirm their identities.

Although this was the first time that Li Yunlong's troops were disguised as the Soviet army, they were well aware of the Soviet army's structure. The identities that Li Yunlong arranged for Yu Zhigan and others were flawless. After all, in Li Yunlong's eyes, the Soviet Siberian Front had no secrets at all.

Therefore, during the identity confirmation process, the five people sent by the Russians did not find anything abnormal, and the identity information reported by Yu Zhigan and others also matched.

As for the language problem, it was also easy to explain. The Soviet Siberian Front had many soldiers from ethnic groups in East and West Siberia who did not speak Russian. As long as Yu Zhiqian and a few other leaders could communicate with them, it would be enough.

After his identity was confirmed, the second and third batches of supplies were delivered to Yu Zhiqian at the agreed time.

Coincidentally, at the same time, De San also sent the same batch of supplies to the "guerrillas" active in the heart of the Russian bear (Note 1).

Here comes the third update. I've been wandering in no-man's land lately, and the signal is very poor, so I didn't read the book review right away. We'll take a look once we're out of this area! If there are any errors, we'll fix them together.

Finally, please give me some free gifts and urge me to update more. Thank you! ~

Chapter 718 You won’t regret it, right?

Popoyel has been having a headache recently. He is now the head of the Fengtian Arsenal, the largest arsenal in Asia, but this arsenal is now in a paralyzed state.

To be precise, it is not paralyzed. The factory now has workers and they are willing to go to work. After all, they only need to show up at the factory and register to get their wages every day. This is the first time they have encountered such a good thing.

As for the paralysis of the Fengtian Arsenal, it was because they had no raw materials and had no way to produce weapons and equipment.

Popoyel was the person in charge stationed at the Fengtian Arsenal after the Russians bought missiles from Li Yunlong and "took away" the Fengtian Arsenal.

There were some people who came with him and went to other factories, but they are now facing the same problem, that is, they have factories and workers, but without raw materials, the factories cannot operate.

"General Li Yunlong, do you want to go back on your word?"

After receiving the request for help from Popoyel and others, Pan Youxin once again found Li Yunlong. After seeing Li Yunlong, he immediately began to question him.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong slowly put on his glasses and put away his pen before speaking: "Ambassador Pan, I'm very happy that you can visit my headquarters, but I don't like the way you speak."

Li Yunlong doesn't speak loudly. Compared to his loud voice a few years ago, Li Yunlong now speaks almost in a gentle voice. However, this way of speaking is more intimidating than his previous loud voice.

When Pan Youxin heard Li Yunlong's words, his anger immediately subsided. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "General Li Yunlong, I came here to inquire about the arsenal and the steel mill. Why don't they have raw materials for production?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong leisurely took out a pack of cigarettes for himself, looked at Pan Youxin with an idiotic look, and said, "Ambassador Pan, I want to talk to you about the arsenal. You've been in charge for a while, but why can't you produce weapons and equipment? We are short of weapons and equipment on the front line now. Are you guys, the Russians, trying to break the contract?"

"If you can't keep the Arsenal running properly, then I'm going to take it back!"

"General Li Yunlong, it's not that we don't produce, but we simply don't have the raw materials. We have no way to produce equipment. We don't have steel, coal, or any other raw materials. There's nothing in the factory warehouse."

"Ambassador Pan, do you Russians expect me, Li Yunlong, to provide you with raw materials so you can produce weapons and equipment, and then sell them to me at a high price?"

Li Yunlong's words left Pan Youxin speechless.

"If you want to start production, then go buy the raw materials. We have both iron ore and coal mines in our logistics department. It's just that your people haven't contacted us. I thought you were going to ship the raw materials from Moscow to Fengtian for production!"

"..."

"So expensive?"

When Pan Youxin came to the logistics department to find Zhang Wanhe, he looked at the prices of iron ore and coal and his eyes widened. Although he didn't understand industry, he still did some homework before coming and knew some of the current market prices.

The prices of iron ore, coal and other raw materials sold by Li Yunlong's logistics department are three times higher than those in the outside market.

"Mr. Pan, it's wartime now. There are battles everywhere. Iron ore and coal are needed everywhere. If you don't want to buy, there are plenty of people who will. We used to offer this price. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. In all of Fengtian, apart from me, no one can provide you with so many resources!"

Zhang Wanhe said with a smile on his face that he had indeed tripled the price. Li Yunlong had originally planned to double it, but Zhang Wanhe directly rejected it, thinking that Li Yunlong, who came from the Dabie Mountains, did not know how to do business.

"Ambassador, with this purchase price, plus the workers' wages, we barely make any profit."

Popoyel was originally the head of a military factory and was temporarily transferred to Fengtian. During this period, he also had a general understanding of the domestic weapon prices in China, so he just made a simple calculation to come to the conclusion.

According to the raw material prices provided by Zhang Wanhe, the arsenal will not lose money, but it will definitely not make any profit either.

"Can you find another supplier of raw materials?"

Popoyer shook his head and said, "Fengtian is still under martial law. Apart from the logistics department of Li Yunlong's troops, there is no other place to buy these supplies. These supplies have been listed as war reserves by Li Yunlong."

"..."

Pan Youxin now understood why Li Yunlong agreed to transfer the arsenal and other factories to him so readily.

It turned out that he was waiting for me here. I took over the arsenal in name, but I didn't make any money at all. I was just working for Li Yunlong.

"I will report to Moscow. Wait for my news!"

"Yes!"

Moscow soon responded to Pan Youxin, asking him to purchase raw materials to produce weapons and equipment, but the price of the equipment had to be doubled so that the arsenal would make a profit and could maintain normal operations.

When the Russians have dealt with Germany, they will immediately move these arsenals away.

So these factories in Fengtian that were transferred to the Soviet Union officially started operating after receiving the money for purchasing raw materials from Moscow.

"Commander, the Russians have doubled the price of weapons and ammunition. Should we still buy them?"

After receiving the news that the Russian side had increased the price of weapons and equipment, Xing Zhiguo immediately found Li Yunlong.

"Buy? Why would you buy? Just get it from the warehouse!"

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Xing Zhiguo. Except for the person in charge sent by the Russians, everyone in the entire arsenal was their own people. The workers were their own people, the union leader was a wounded soldier from their own army, and the factory security was their own people. So everything in the factory was theirs.

"Isn't this bad?"

Xing Zhiguo widened his eyes. He originally thought that Li Yunlong would go to negotiate with the Russians and ask them to make concessions, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong to go directly to the warehouse to move the things.

"Old Xing, Old Xing, you've been with me for so many years, why haven't you come to your senses yet?"

"what?"

Old Xing looked at Li Yunlong with some confusion, not quite understanding what Li Yunlong meant.

"I'm not asking you to move openly, but secretly. Find some vodka and drink with the people sent by the Russian bear under the pretext of purchasing. Get them drunk, and then move the weapons and ammunition away!"

"When the time comes, just add a note, write a lower price, and ask them to put their fingerprints on it. Don't worry, as long as the Russian bears drink vodka, the whole world is theirs. It's very easy to coax them."

"What if they don't drink it?"

"If you don't want to drink, then secretly bring the stuff back at night, and then set the warehouse on fire, or let us take the blame!"

Looking at the stunned Old Xing, Li Yunlong added calmly, "As long as it's not an open robbery, no one will reveal it even if they know it."

Chapter 719: Don’t let the bear break up

It was only then that Xing Zhiguo realized that his commander had never intended to purchase through formal means from the beginning.

"What if the Mao Bear stops giving birth in the future?"

"If we don't want to produce anymore, we can just continue. The workers are all our own people. We can just use the raw materials to produce."

“They still have to pay our workers!”
