Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2817: For three days of vacation, Zhao Laonian tried his best!

Gao Yanan saw Duanwu's eyes and knew that the captain and Ninth Girl might be in trouble, so he quickly changed the subject:
“I think we can consider joining forces with other anti-Japanese forces in the surrounding areas to fight the devils together.

This way, our strength will be greatly enhanced, and the channels for collecting military pay and food may also be opened up."

Ma Shanpao slapped his thigh and said, "I agree with my wife's opinion!"

Gao Yanan glared at Ma Shanpao and thought: Is this the time for you to flatter me? We are discussing serious matters!
However, at this time, Long Qianyan hesitated and said: "It is a good idea to unite with other anti-Japanese forces, but at present, there is only the Sixth Brother of Laoyeling. But you can see that Sixth Brother is not very serious about the anti-Japanese war. If we really want to unite to fight against Japan, it is not possible, not possible."

At this time, before Long Qianyan finished speaking, the one-eyed dragon retorted: "What do you mean Sixth Brother is not serious about fighting the Japanese? When Sixth Brother was fighting the Japanese, I'm afraid you weren't there yet!"

But seeing the one-eyed dragon getting angry, Long Qianyan quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, it's just..."

Ma Pingan tried to smooth things over at this time and said, "Okay, stop talking. I understand what Long Qianyan meant."

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."

Long Qianyan added this sentence, and the one-eyed dragon's expression looked better.

He apologized: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

No one minded.

To express his apology, the one-eyed dragon forced himself to come up with an idea and said, "Before, the captain said that if Kujo Miyakita was really assassinated, it was most likely done by the Japanese hawks. Since there are many conflicts between the nobles and the hawks, can we find an opportunity to instigate them, let them fight first, and then take advantage of the opportunity to reap some benefits."

"hehe!"

Duanwu laughed dryly, but actually he was laughing at the one-eyed man's wild ideas.

Even if the Japanese hawks have conflicts with the nobles, they will not start a fight first.

So the one-eyed dragon’s suggestion is totally invalid.

However, in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the One-Eyed Dragon, Duanwu said: "One-Eyed Dragon's idea is good! We can take advantage of the internal contradictions of the devils and let them kill each other, and we will reap the benefits. However, we need to act with caution and not let the devils see our intentions."

At this point, Duanwu added: "In the last battle, we should have truly realized the importance of intelligence. So Jiang Li, your intelligence work should be put on the agenda."

"Yes!"

Jiang Li accepted the order, but it was too difficult to get people into the inner circle of the devil. Now she could only start with some ambitious young people in or outside Songyuan City.

But the results were minimal. They could only find out some trivial news in the city, and it took time to transmit the information back to the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base because they didn’t even know how to use the radio.

Moreover, Jiang Li did not dare to give the radio to them for use.

They do not have the experience and qualities of an agent, and giving them a radio would most likely harm them.

So she really had no choice.

Of course, she was not completely clueless. She was recently in contact with Huo Feng, following Huo Feng's experience of opening a store in the city and collecting intelligence.

Once the recent hype is over, she plans to find a few people to open a store in Songyuan City.

And not only Songyuan City, she wants to open a store in Chuncheng.

However, there is another problem, which is money, because without money, she can't do anything.

At this time, Long Qianyan also put forward a suggestion, which coincided with Jiang Li's.

Long Qianyan suggested: "We can consider developing some informants in the city and ask them to help us collect intelligence, or even help us get some scarce supplies. Of course, this requires a high degree of confidentiality and must not be discovered by the devils."

Ma Pingan nodded and added: "Yes, informants are very important. We can find some reliable people, give them some benefits, and let them help us. In addition, we can also use some merchants to help us transport materials. Although merchants are timid, as long as they are given enough benefits, they will be willing to take risks."

Duanwu listened to everyone's speeches and had already made up his mind. He nodded slightly and said:

"Everyone's suggestions make sense. As for food, we do need to purchase some from the surrounding villages, organize militias to reclaim wasteland, develop informants in the city, and use merchants to transport supplies.

As for the military pay, I will find a way. In addition, we must also speed up the construction of arsenals and increase the production capacity of weapons."

At this point, Duanwu paused and added: "Also, we must strengthen intelligence work to ensure that our actions can be supported by accurate intelligence. At the same time, we must also improve the training level of the soldiers so that they can better exert their combat effectiveness on the battlefield. Only in this way can we go further on the road of anti-Japanese war."

Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with Duanwu's decision.

Thus, a discussion meeting on food and military pay came to an end.

At this time, everyone left, and Zhao Laonian, who had been standing at the door, was also about to leave.

But he was stopped by Duanwu.

Zhao Laonian nodded and said, "Captain, what do you want me to do?"

Duanwu pulled Zhao Laonian's clothes and asked him to sit down, "Are you familiar with antiques?"

Zhao Laonian was about to say that he was not familiar with her, but Duanwu saw through his thoughts and added, "If you are familiar with her, I will give you three days off after you finish your work so that you can go see your wife."

"Well, too well. Or should I say, Captain, you know me best? Hahaha!"

Zhao Laonian's expression changed immediately, and the smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

Duanwu patted Zhao Laonian on the shoulder. He knew that this unsophisticated guy must have studied these unconventional methods.

"Come on, follow me and see how much those things are worth."

Duanwu said this and took Zhao Laonian to the treasure house of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, where antique calligraphy and paintings obtained from traitors were stored.

Duanwu didn't do much research on these things and didn't know their exact value.

But at this time, the Anti-Japanese Brigade was short of money, so he had to turn his attention to this.

Because soon, Duanwu would have to spend a large sum of money again. Before Markov left, Duanwu asked him to go back and get two things first. One was bullets for submachine guns. The other was shells and machine gun bullets for anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

These two things are in urgent need during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Although Markov can give some preferential treatment to the Anti-Japanese Brigade and provide more in quantity, it still requires a certain amount of expenditure.

Duanwu knows all these, so it is probably impossible to get it for free without spending a penny.

Therefore, Duanwu must prepare this amount of funds. In order to avoid losing his reputation when he has no money to pay! .
