Chapter 250: The Road Ahead (4) This Land

Yellow River No. 2 Agricultural Cooperative, Hehan Village, Wuda, Huinong District

Liu Jieer took out a gas can and screwed it onto her "flamethrower." She adjusted the knob on the metal nozzle, and with a snap, the flames ignited.

The flamethrower made a crackling sound, and the butane gas emitted a deep blue flame. She brought the flame close to the bulb-like protrusion on the machine in front of her, aimed it at an oversized "nut," and roasted it with a fierce flame. When her hand could feel the heat radiating from the "nut" from a distance, Liu Jie'er finally turned the torch knob and turned off the blowtorch-like flame.

"It's getting hot! Everyone, spread out!"

This old-fashioned rural girl now had a healthy tan, and her youthful voice radiated with vigor. Liu Jie'er donned gloves, grabbed the wrench on the large flywheel with one hand, and cranked it back and forth with all her might—but the flywheel only spun once, without responding.

"Hey, the oil is a bit heavy today?"

Liu Jie'er pressed the fuel raft, added two thrusts of fuel to the bulb compartment, and spun the flywheel again. This time, with the help of her weight, the heavy flywheel finally started to rotate, and the vertical bulb cylinder head also exploded as expected. With a cough-like puff of black smoke from the exhaust valve, the 17-horsepower single-cylinder hot-bulb tractor finally picked up speed and started.

"It's done, it's done! Sisters, let's get to work!"

At the end of 38, Liu Jie'er from Huinong District enrolled at the Shizuishan Driving School. She and her companions passed the school's special driving licenses for the Caiqi multi-purpose plow—the first crew composed entirely of girls from the border region.

As a workers' village, Huaishuwan Village where Sister Liu lives is allocated much less land than other peasant villages. The two steam tractors and a cable-drawn work platform purchased with agricultural loans have amazing combat effectiveness. It only takes a few days to plow all the land in the village. The machines cannot be left idle for the rest of the time.

So, the Huaishuwan Village Committee decided to establish the Dahuaishu Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, based on the agricultural cooperative. The village Party Secretary personally led a team to coordinate with several neighboring villages, securing responsibility for plowing, sowing, spraying, and harvesting a large area of ​​land, and handing it over to the Dahuaishu Agricultural Machinery Cooperative.

This directly led to the fact that during the sowing period in 39, several villages near Huaishuwan Village had an abundance of labor: under the glory of mechanization, the strong laborers who were originally required to work hard only needed to follow behind the machines to cover the soil. Women and children could do it, and there was no need for strong laborers at all.

Then the Huinong Party Committee gave Liu Jie'er and her team a big award certificate and a lot of bonuses.

This was a major event in Huaishuwan Village. The village secretary had already announced the good news to the entire village via a loudspeaker. Even the staid village chief visited Liu Jie'er and the other crew members to offer their congratulations. The mother-in-law, who had once cursed Liu Jie'er as a "stubborn, mean-spirited woman who refused to stay home and raise the children," now puffed out her chest, her expression changing dramatically as she proudly spoke of her own open-mindedness and progressive thinking, and how she had encouraged and supported her behind the scenes.

Liu Jie'er expressed her disdain for this move in a gorgeous way.

"What?! If it weren't for our Ke Yongchang Supply Co., who used Guanghua coupons to buy a coat for everyone in the family, our mother-in-law would be furious!"

"Guys, this is a new corn harvester. It can break the corn off the stalks and throw it into the truck bed. It's very convenient. Protect! Grab that kid! The wire rope is dangerous, don't get close!"

Two three-meter-tall steam engines stood at either end of the field, each producing over sixty horsepower, driving the cable turntables at the bottom, pulling the "traction work platform" in the field and the "corn harvesting module" installed above it. The girl sitting on it moved the joystick, lowered the sword-shaped rake, and ate two rows of corn into the machine's belly with a crunch. From the back, it spat out shredded corn stalks and corn cobs mixed with crushed leaves.

Under the guidance of the driving school driver, Liu Jie'er operated the steering wheel and controlled the synchronous movement of the hot air tractor.

While she was talking on a bullhorn, explaining the machine to the villagers, she drove her hot-bulb tractor behind the harvesting platform, catching the falling corn cobs. This second-hand tiller wasn't very fast, but it was much faster than human or animal power. In less than five minutes, two rows of corn had been harvested, and Liu Jie'er's cargo box was already filled with corn cobs.

"Unloading the grain, unloading the grain, Team One from Hehan Village, come and collect the grain!"

While the steam platform was turning around at the edge of the field, Liu Jie'er and the driving instructor removed the side panels of the cargo box, lifted the floor with a screw jack, and piled the corn cobs beside the field, handing them over to other villagers for transport.

Strong laborers who had been watching eagerly from the side came running over, pulling ox carts, wheelbarrows, and rickshaws. They happily loaded their harvest onto the carts and discussed it enthusiastically.

"This big iron lump is so powerful! It hasn't taken long, but it's already harvested two ridges and pulled out all the corn cobs! At this rate, this large field can be harvested in less than an hour! For a human, it would take half a day, right?"

"Half a day is not enough? Look at them operating the machines, delivering water and coal, there are only eight people in total. Excluding the master, they are all girls! And this is just breaking corn. You haven't seen them harvesting wheat, they are so fast! One machine is equivalent to ten strong men!"

"We're harvesting wheat and breaking corncobs, and we're exhausted after just an hour. But machines don't tire. With coal and oil, we can work non-stop all day. If we stay in the village, we'll probably have to wait until they've pulled up all the corn stalks and harvested all the corncobs, and then we can follow behind and pick up the leftovers!"

The carts gradually filled up with corn cobs, and the golden corn was brought back to the village. Next, the villagers, young and old, men and women, would work together to dry the cobs in the sun, then thresh the kernels and store them in a warehouse. Compared to the self-operated public farms, the grain tax rate required by the border region government was not much per acre, making it completely affordable. The high yield of the golden corn also meant that many families had grain reserves.

It was a dreamlike scene, a scene not seen here in years. Everyone worked with a smile on their face, feeling no fatigue at all. Amidst feelings of emotion and envy, perhaps even a touch of jealousy and gratitude, the elders of Hehan Village simply wished they could dream more of this. Meanwhile, the more active young people began to ponder: If the village no longer had an urgent need for strong labor, could they also consider training in the booming industrial zone and become an industrial worker?

After all, our government encourages learning and becoming workers. The income of workers is very high... As for Liu Jie'er, she thinks more.

The fields in Huinong District are primarily located on the flat lands along the river. These flat, regular fields are ideal for agricultural machinery operations, and naturally suited to the work of a cooperative like theirs. The Dahuaishu Agricultural Machinery Cooperative currently has only one "operation team," yet it's already managing a large area of ​​farm work.

What if there are second, third, and fourth sets of “homework groups” in the future?

Although the steam locomotive has high horsepower and strong driving force, it is heavy and inconvenient to operate. In the future, lighter internal combustion tractors will definitely be more suitable for promotion. Therefore, as a veteran steam engine operator, I naturally need to prepare in advance and learn how to drive and maintain internal combustion locomotives. Only then can I better become the backbone of the Dayushu Agricultural Machinery Cooperative and help the surrounding villagers live a better life.

Well, as for home, the worst that can happen is I can just buy another set of clothes, but I’m also worried that I won’t be able to shut up my mother-in-law.

Therefore, it is wise to sign up for tractor driving lessons again. As she thought about it, she put the tractor into gear and asked the driving school teacher next to her, "Master, am I driving well?"

Is the action standard?"

"Okay, Liu Jie'er, you're an experienced driver. Next time, I think you can try it on your own without me by your side!"

Chapter 251 Internal and External Matters

(This chapter involves a lot of historical data and is relatively dry)

The construction and production in the border areas, the consolidation and expansion of the base areas, and the training and cultivation of personnel are all progressing in an orderly manner according to the pre-planned plan.

According to the Chairman, the current goal of our party and army is to build the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shandong Province, and northern Jiangsu bases, including the border areas, into a solid rear base with the ability to establish armed forces, train troops, organize production and sustainable development, and become the "engine" of the anti-Japanese revolution.

Relying on such a core base, the troops can retreat for replenishment when the situation is unfavorable, and can continuously enhance their combat effectiveness to form an advantage when the situation is stalemate. When things go well, it can serve as a reliable starting point for the army's external operations and support combat needs in a wider area.

The better transportation routes between the major bases than in history, as well as the night infiltration flights flying in the night sky, in fact connected and integrated the various bases in North China and even Central China. The smooth information transmission channels could also prevent the development of some bases from going astray, allowing the entire party and army to form a joint force to serve the party's unified goal during the war.

Of course, at the same time, in other parts of the world, the wheel of history continued to roll. In both the Kuomintang-controlled and Japanese-occupied areas, a lot of things had happened recently.

-———-—--

With the benefit of hindsight, many might assume that Guo Su, as a spokesperson for the large landowners and comprador class, was naturally pro-American imperialism. However, before the US military officially entered World War II in late 41, many in Chiang Kai-shek's administration were actually more pro-British.

Chiang Kai-shek believed that the British Empire, once the sun never set, was still vast and capable of playing a significant role in the world. Therefore, while the four major families were actively transferring assets to the United States, the Nationalist government still sought help from Britain, hoping to secure its assistance in safeguarding national interests.

Among them, the Tianjin silver deposit incident, which served as a reserve for the issuance of legal tender, is an important part.

The French currency, which had not yet become worthless in 39, had a reserve of approximately 400 million silver dollars in the British and French Concessions in Tianjin, backing up its value. Impoverished imperialist Japan, which occupied both Tianjin and Beijing, naturally coveted this huge sum of money and repeatedly attempted to plunder it. However, because Japan had not yet declared war on Britain and France, it could not directly rob it.

However, the Japanese army still put pressure on Britain and France in various ways and under various excuses, and directly blockaded the British and French concessions in an attempt to force them to hand over their deposits.

As for the attitudes of Britain and France... the question is, can these conspiracy makers who can publish papers and loudly cheer that we have won a generation of peace, confront the aggressive Japan in the Far East for the sake of "international justice and fairness" and safeguard the national interests of a weak country in the Far East? Going to buy some things and talk about business is fine, but personally engaging in real confrontation is even more unrealistic for Britain, which is unwilling to get involved even on the European continent.

But what is puzzling is that, by the end of 38, the Guocui side had no idea how many silver dollars it had in Tianjin. They only knew that "some money" was stored in the warehouses of the Bank of China and the Construction Bank in Tianjin. They did not take the matter seriously at all. At most, they just asked the diplomatic department to "urge the British and French parties to protect this amount of money" as a routine matter. Even such negotiations only began after the British Embassy called the Guocui Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked Guocui to "immediately order the sealing of the silver dollars as soon as possible to prevent them from being seized by Japan."

In short, this matter, which should have been extremely urgent, wasted precious time and dragged on until 1939, thanks to the appeasement and indifference of one side and the carelessness of the other. It can be said that by July 1939, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were responsible for the matter, could only repeat such nonsense as "the situation is critical" and "T urges Britain and France to negotiate and mediate as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the deposits." They didn't even pay attention to the Japanese who were ready to act like robbers.

Finally, in July 1939, Guofu finally waited for the so-called "collapse of faith": Japan and Britain signed the Arita-Klech Agreement.

This agreement, known as the "Munich of the Far East", basically meant that Britain officially recognized the "fait accompli" of Japan's invasion of the Japanese-occupied areas, acknowledged the actual control of the Japanese army over the occupied areas, and condoned the Japanese army's continued invasion. At the same time, it assured the Japanese army that the British official had no intention of interfering with Japan's interests in the Far East. Although this agreement was automatically declared invalid after the outbreak of World War II in 41, it was a bolt from the blue for the Kuomintang government, which had always hoped that Britain, France and other countries would "mediate" the current situation and stop the Japanese army from continuing to invade China.

After all, according to Chiang Kai-shek's view, "Japan will eventually be dealt with by international allies, and Britain and France will not tolerate their reckless behavior in the Far East." Today, Britain and France are no longer reliable.

How is it good?

Of course, I won't "ultimately rely on myself for everything"--

In August, the Nationalist government sent a telegram to Hu Simi, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, requesting him to "explain in detail the interests and concerns" to the Americans, telling them... that supporting the British position, directly safeguarding the legal tender, was indirectly supporting American commercial interests in the Far East, and that they earnestly hoped that the United States would show its previous spirit of assistance and provide practical support to China.

In other words, Guoju realized that the British thighs were out of reach, so he turned and ran towards the big thighs of Uncle Sam, hoping that they would stand up and lend a hand. As for what happened next, everyone knows:

On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany attacked Poland; on September 3, Britain and France declared war on Germany; on September 17, the Soviet Union also attacked Poland; and on October 6, Poland temporarily vanished. Amidst sit-in wars, partition plots, and diversionary schemes, the European battlefields of World War II erupted in a continuous cycle of farce, silence, and vileness.

The United States, which prioritized "Europe first, Asia second," naturally wouldn't turn its attention to the Far East to help preserves seek justice and protect their deposits. Until the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941, when the Japanese army officially entered the British and French concessions, aside from approximately 1.7 million silver dollars, which the Japanese claimed as "disaster relief funds" and then divided up and appropriated, the remainder was largely seized by the Japanese-puppet Joint Reserve Bank and the North China Political Affairs Committee. Only a tiny portion was transferred out of Tianjin through the efforts of our underground workers in the form of shipping fees and care fees.

"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will fall. If you rely on imperialist countries, they are not reliable allies."

The Chairman looked at the intelligence and historical summaries in his hands and said, "We can trade, we can leverage, we can communicate, but we must not rely on them to deliver any kind of justice—the iron must be forged with strength!" "Next, we must be more proactive in our actions."

Chapter 252: Kang Xu Flame

"cC_Mod_1939_06, deployment in progress." "Wow, this is truly a spectacle."

When nearly a thousand soldiers walked out of the canteen branch that had just landed, and moved out all the weapons, supplies, medicines and equipment they brought with them,

Liu Helian, who was pushing a "bicycle", took out his mobile phone and pressed the confirmation button.

Confirm button.

Then, the massive steel structure devoured the original structure of the landlord's compound, erecting a series of twisted, bizarre contraptions, including a pile driver, a tower crane, a commercial concrete pump truck, and so on. After two minutes of clattering and clanging, the giant machine packed up all the equipment and materials, hammered down a stone tablet for completion and acceptance at the entrance of the new "landlord's compound," and then inscribed in gold letters, "X: Construction Bureau No. 3," and then calm returned.

"Hey! Comrade Xiao Liu, what else did they give out from this landlord's house? Oh, let me see, wow, it's a silver sweet potato!"

Xu Yuanqing, who was standing aside and watching the new things, carefully examined the lump of metal thrown at the door by the construction party. It was rough and wrinkled, with many black spots, and looked to weigh at least more than 100 kilograms.

He kicked it, tried to pick it up, but ultimately failed and gave up. "No wonder they say this thing is theft-proof. So much of the people's money went into this thing, it's impossible for ordinary thieves to steal it. This landlord's house, our previous team's work of cracking down on the tycoons and dividing up their wealth, seems to have not been thorough enough!"

"Anyway, you'll have plenty of time to work on this area carefully from now on." Liu Helian operated the system on his phone, reconfirming that most of the cafeteria branch had been hidden underground. "Just be careful with your health and don't overexert yourself. Even the Soviet Union can't completely heal your previous injuries for the time being."

"What do you mean by 'yours'? Why are you being so formal? Just call me Xu Yuanqing. I'm only a few years older than you." Xu Yuanqing patted Liu Helian. "This time, I have Comrade Xiannian working with me, as well as the original Hubei-Henan-Anhui Party Committee. I only need to focus on military affairs. It won't be too tiring. Just go back and tell the Central Committee to put their minds at ease!"

"I will definitely deliver this message exactly as it is." Thinking of the fact that this comrade was forced to take a long-term rest and retire from the front line because of an old injury that was difficult to heal and an illness caused by overwork, Liu Helian could not completely put aside his worries. However, since others had said so, why should he still be so fussy?

"Even if a branch's projection is anything to go by, it means Hubei, Henan, and Anhui can save more than a division's worth of funds, and also establish a sufficiently stable connection with the central government. And with Comrade Xu now in charge, the folks in the Dabie Mountains can finally endure less ins and outs... ahem, less suffering."

The conditions for upgrading a canteen from branch to headquarters level are still unclear, but through exploration and observation of Huinong O2, it's generally confirmed that it's related to operating time and the revenue generated from recycling and sales. After receiving a large number of beach sheep and this year's autumn harvest, the second Huinong canteen branch on the Eighth Route Army successfully upgraded to headquarters level.

Putting aside the improvement in supply capacity, the upgrade of the Huinong branch has freed up the delivery quota for the Fushi headquarters. Based on the principle of one headquarters corresponding to two branches, the border area now has four canteen branches that can be projected into the county-level areas effectively controlled by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

The Central Committee held a Standing Committee meeting specifically for this purpose to discuss the arrangements for the branch deployment. Ultimately, after a vote, the Central Committee decided to establish four new branches: in the Dadian area of ​​Junan in the Yimeng Mountain base area of ​​Shandong Province, the "Zishi" area of ​​Hai'an in the northern Jiangsu Province base area, the Yingshan area of ​​the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, and the Pianguan area of ​​the northwestern Shanxi base area, to support the development of the local anti-Japanese cause.

This task was naturally given to Comrade Xiao Liu, who had already returned from the Soviet Union.

Considering that the canteen branch was deployed using a trackside command station from a blind-player game, it was able to fit quite a few people inside. The central government then assigned Liu He to form a temporary unit with his transformable e-scooter, along with the supplies, soldiers, and cadres scheduled to support the base. The unit would then fly the troops there in one go. Later, Liu He would use the e-scooter to transform into a flying vehicle and fly back with those who needed to return to the border area.

He had done this several times before. The last time he went to Hai'an, after setting up the base and delivering supplies, he also brought Comrade Xiang Delong back to the border area. This time, during his visit to Yingshan, the Border Area Arsenal had also sent over several newly manufactured 82mm high- and low-pressure guns, inviting the comrades from Hubei, Henan, and Anhui to test them in actual combat.

"Of course, this stuff can't solve the problems of weapons and equipment, personnel training, and military struggle, let alone establishing party branches at the company level and bringing power down to the village level," Liu Maolian lamented. "No matter how much support the central government provides, Hubei, Henan, and Anhui are still surrounded by powerful enemies. Not only are there the Nationalist Army, the Guangxi Army, and the Military Control Commission, but also the Japanese and puppet troops entrenched here. After all, this place can directly threaten Jiangcheng and Jinling City."

"Yes, the situation isn't optimistic, but... Comrade Xiao Liu, I don't recall participating in the Long March in your resume, right? Ha, then you might not be familiar with the situation in our 25th Army's base area. Have you read the 'Analysis of the Situation in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Region' that I brought you this time?"

Facing Xu Yuanqing's question, Liu Helian scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I read it, but not all of it... I only read a brief summary."

"Since you can point out that besides the Japanese puppet regime, there are also the Nationalist Central Army, the Guangxi Army, the Military Control Commission, and other roving armed forces here, do you think these forces will unite, put aside their differences, and collectively confront us? Or even collectively resist us?"

Xu Yuanqing smiled confidently, "Comrade Xiao Liu, you always regard the preserved fruits other than us as a whole, as if they would concentrate all their energy on actively opposing the Communist Party. This is not in line with reality." He drew several intersecting circles on the ground with his feet, and then drew a huge oval: "The Central Army is a direct line, but there are not many of them, and they are different from the Military Control Commission line.

It is difficult to cooperate; the Gui army is large in number, and in order to support the army, it expands

The desires were very strong; the Military Control Commission itself was extremely greedy, but its hands were very long, and it plundered the defense areas of other factions. The local roving armed forces were mostly supported by one of these three factions, or even the Japanese and puppet troops, and they often wooed, oppressed and annexed each other for years.

"Resisting Japan is a national cause, and on paper everyone must abide by it. But what is the reality? The military is the guarantor of discourse power, and the military needs money, which must be scraped from the localities. The Japanese invasion is an objective reality, and the profits that can be scraped from the remaining areas are limited. Can these four factions sit down and discuss without contradiction and reasonably distribute these 'profits'?"

Xu Yuanqing stomped the four rings with his foot and said contemptuously, "A single county town here can have three or four county governors, with three or four teams appointed by the Central Committee, the Military Control Commission, and the Guangxi Army. During the autumn and summer harvests, the three factions would vie for control of the region's taxation and contributions. At its most intense, a county governor could be appointed in the morning and removed in the afternoon!"

"The resistance to the Japanese is so strong, thanks to the Japanese's poor strategy and insufficient manpower. Otherwise, what good could they achieve?"

A group of soldiers ran by, putting the area under martial law. Due to prior arrangements, the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Border Region had leveled a 400-meter runway near Yingshan to support the region's expanding night flight infiltration network. Of course, it could also serve as a takeoff point for Liu Helian's electric scooter.

Standing on the runway, Liu Helian listened to Xu Yuanqing explaining to him the people's and military situation around Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and further realized the chaotic situation in the Kuomintang-controlled areas of the country at that time.

"This is our second time in Dabie Mountains. The previous return of the White Dogs caused severe damage to the grassroots. Many villages that were previously well-built have suffered severe persecution." When talking about this, Xu Yuanqing's cheerful tone became gloomy, but soon returned to normal.

He patted his newly issued green twill canvas uniform and said, "Humph, we're not the same as we were before! We're made of 'super wear-resistant' material!"

"We have long despised those vagrants. We welcome them to come and cause trouble. If they want to, feel free to come. We are just afraid that after the friction, they will go back with bare wrists!" After saying this, he changed the subject.

"Furthermore, Comrade Xiao Liu, you haven't done your job as a special envoy diligently and responsibly enough." "Hmm?"

"You've helped us so much, and now you want to fly back on your special plane?" Standing still on the runway, Xu Yuanqing waved his hand. "No, I'm in charge of this matter. Comrade Xiao Liu, I heard you loved to try delicious food in the Soviet Union. Why, after visiting our Dabie Mountains, are you leaving without trying some of our local specialties? Do you look down on us?"

"Commissioner Liu, I order you to eat here before leaving. You are not allowed to fly in the sky on an empty stomach, nor are you allowed to make do with your biscuits."

So, our "special plane" pilot, the hardworking postman and special envoy of the Central Committee, was kept by the high-spirited Xu Yuanqing and had lunch with him.

The cooks in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions were in high spirits. They picked up their pots, pans, knives, forks and spoons, and brought out cheap miscellaneous bones and minced meat from the canteen, along with soup packets.

I made a big pot of lotus root stewed with meat and steamed meatballs with rice flour, and served them with some simple

I cooked a sumptuous lunch of two dishes and a soup with some vegetables.

Even when Liu Helian reminded them that pork prices had dropped and they might want to eat more good meat, the veterans still smiled and said, "We still have to make a living," and declined the suggestion. However, the soldiers ate heartily, and Liu Helian, holding his bowl, stopped talking and focused on his own meal.

Soon, after everyone had eaten, Liu Helian reached the end of the airstrip. The area around him had been cleared, and as he pushed his bicycle and prepared to give the order to transform it into an infiltration aircraft, a countdown appeared before his eyes again, embedded in his vision.

It no longer jumps as fast as the previous times, indicating a specific time point, but is just like a HUD showing the current time, moving quietly second by second.

Chapter 253 Representative Conference

The first time this time mark appeared was when the cafeteria was built; later, when the cafeteria added the supermarket system. Liu Helian recalled it and tried to reach out and touch the floating number. As expected, the number was completely intangible. Instead, it was imprinted on his hand and continued to pulse.

Fortunately, now he only needs to complain a few words, and the thing will turn into "night mode" and hide in the corner of his vision, so it won't affect his work too much. He doesn't know what this time means.

Liu Helian ignored it, simply operating his small aircraft in DCH+-2 Beaver mode, cruising slowly at an altitude of 3000 meters, swaggering across the Nationalist defense zone. At this altitude, the Nationalist air defense observation capability was almost zero, and the silent "Beaver" would be almost undetectable.

After a flight of over 800 kilometers, Liu Helian, traveling at the speed of a little beaver, landed at Fushe Airport just as the sun was setting and night was approaching. After parking the plane and clearing the area according to the scheduled procedures, transforming the eMule into a convenient means of transportation, he returned to the "Logistics Special Committee" at Fushe headquarters in the cafeteria to report on the progress of his airdrop unit. This was the fourth such operation, and everyone was very familiar with the procedures. After hearing the report, the on-duty staff officer, Zuo, quickly whisked Liu Helian off to eat and rest.

The reason is simple. Only with a good rest can one have good work efficiency. The border area is preparing to hold a meeting recently, and Xiao Liu has a lot of work to do.

Since the congress was held in Moscow in 1928, the party organization has not held a national congress for a long time because of the adverse struggle environment, difficult material conditions and dangerous situation.

However, ever since the border region began mass-replacing old radios and distributing new "advanced radios" through the channel of "Mr. Cai Su" ("Boss Cai") and the development board spare parts provided by the cafeteria, communication channels between the various bases, underground party committees, and even undercover intelligence agents have been opened up. Coupled with the healthy development of the various bases and the support of infiltration flights on demand, the Party Central Committee finally had the basic conditions to convene a plenary session.
