The dinner table.

Zhou Weihan reported to the chiefs the specific situation of the transaction with Terauchiyong.

When he learned that the first batch of transactions was 5 tons of steel, 45 tons of cotton bales, and 27 tons of various types of ammunition and shells, the chief's face was full of smiles.

"Zhou Weihan, why didn't you inform the headquarters as soon as possible, the chief has been worried about this matter for several days, for fear of losing his wife and losing his army!" the chief of staff said slightly reproachfully.

"Hey, don't I want to surprise the chiefs?"

"There are 5 tons of steel in this first batch. How much can be traded next time? Has the time been set?"

"These 5 tons of steel are just a drop in the bucket for the output of the steelmaking plant in the Fengfeng Mining Area. It's just that Isamu Terauchi was more careful in his first operation. The remaining 130 tons of steel may be traded dozens of tons at a time!" Zhou Weihan explained.

"Okay, let's urge this matter as soon as possible, and it's yours if you eat it in your stomach. The ready-made steel is much stronger than the rail steel used by the Japanese army!"

"Although we often trade ammunition and other supplies with the Japanese army, the military industry foundation of our Eighth Route Army cannot be neglected. As I said just now, both hands must be hard, and walking on two legs is much more stable. With this batch of steel , let the comrades in the Huangyadong Armory Factory play to their fullest!" The chief of staff was so happy that he almost lost his job.

"In addition to steel, the 45 tons of cotton can also be of great use. A cotton coat is enough weight. Even if it weighs 3 catties, it is a total of [-] pieces. It is enough to solve a large part of the gap. Instead of a cotton coat, three or five people can wear it differently!"

"Chief, these cotton coats should be distributed by our division!" The division commander glanced at the commander and said.

"Our Eighth Route Army troops are developing too fast. This counts as 129 cotton-padded clothes. It's still not enough for your [-]th Division!" The chief said with a sigh.

"It's easy to handle. Handan produces cotton. You can express your opinion on behalf of the Southern Hebei Military Region, and then produce 45 tons of cotton to support the Taihang and Taiyue Military Regions!" Commander Liu said to Chen.

After hearing this, Chen couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Master, it's true that Handan produces cotton. 45 tons of cotton is not a small number!"

"Don't complain to me here. Last time I went to Nangong, in the base area, I saw many villagers planting cotton along the way! In this hundred-regiment war, I don't believe that you have seized less supplies such as cotton and cotton cloth. The soldiers of the Southern Hebei Military Region all have cotton-padded clothes, and there are not a few soldiers from other troops who are frostbitten!"

"Yes, I guarantee that the Southern Hebei Military Region will raise 45 tons of cotton within one month!" Chen promised.

"That's right, when the time comes to cross the Ping-Han Line, communicate with Zhou Weihan in advance to facilitate transportation!" Master Liu instructed.

At this moment, Chen thought to himself that he could only grab a wave of cotton production areas planned in the Japanese-occupied areas of the counties before the Japanese army recovered.

The Japanese army strictly blocked the flow of cotton in the occupied area, but they couldn't bear it, and every household in the southern Hebei base area planted more or less cotton in their homes.

The troops of the Southern Hebei Military Region are not short of cotton at all. It's just that the Japanese army implemented a strict blockade in the Taihang base area and the southern Hebei base area before. Cotton, a large-volume material, is not easy to transport.

Now the Eighth Route Army crosses the Ping-Han Railway in the Handan section, just like passing through our own house, and transportation is no longer a problem.

Among the topics of everyone present, weapons and coal were the least relevant.

Although the amount of monthly transactions with Isamu Terauchi was not as high as this time, it remained at about 15 tons, and the chiefs have long been accustomed to it.

As for coal, the Eighth Route Army mostly relied on firewood for heating at this time, and only a very small amount of coal was supplied. These coal mines were all supplied by local people secretly using open-pit coal.

In the end, the chief waved his hand, and all 135 tons of coal were left in Tainan, under Zhou Weihan's full control.

For the 135 tons of coal, Zhou Weihan has already made arrangements, and the amount of 135 tons seems to be a lot. In fact, a modern family needs about two tons of coal in one winter.

Zhou Weihan decided to save the coal for the hospital and the chicken coops on the rear farms, which are the places that need the most warmth in winter.

At this time, Chen, who was sitting next to Zhou Weihan, suddenly stretched out his finger and poked Zhou Weihan's back. Zhou Weihan understood what he meant, but he didn't respond.

Immediately after they stabbed again, Zhou Weihan shook his shoulders, and the chief of staff could see their small movements.

"What are you two doing to hide from us? The two of you are secretly doing tricks!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou Weihan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "There are more than [-] rescued comrades this time!"

"That's right, after visiting and studying these comrades, let me take them back to southern Hebei!" Chen cast a questioning look.

The current problem involves both military and administrative issues, as well as the two administrative regions of Taihang and Southern Hebei.

The rescue order was issued by the headquarters, and he was the first to say: "Let me express my opinion. Although the army is short of cadres everywhere, these [-] or so people are all comrades from the local area. The army does not need people. You two administrative regions can discuss it yourself. But the comrades who were subsequently rescued from the Japanese concentration camps and engineering battalions will be accepted by the army!"

The chief of staff and division commander also nodded, expressing their agreement with the boss.

"Shouldn't Lao Yang come to talk to me? Why did you come here?" D said
"Recently, Director Yang is busy with his affairs and cannot get away, so he can only entrust me! Before leaving, he asked me to take him back!"

The Hebei-Taiwan Liaison Office was the predecessor of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region Government. It is currently under the leadership of the Northern Bureau. There are three administrative districts under it, Taihang, Taiyue, and Southern Hebei.

The top leaders of the three administrative regions are Taihang, Taiyue, Bo, and Southern Hebei, Yang.

"Forget it, this matter can't be brought up to Secretary Yang of the Northern Bureau, right? It will be bad for both parties. I only need 100 people in Taihang Administrative District, and you take the rest, how about it?" Someone waved his hand and said.

Chen Daxi, I didn't expect that someone could take away more than 200 people with such joy, which has already exceeded the set goal.

Seeing that more than [-] cadres were divided up in a blink of an eye, Zhou Weihan did not forget Wang Ying's entrustment, and it is good to keep those patriotic youths from the Xinghuo Society.

Then he said: "Wang Ying mentioned to me before, can the more than 100 patriotic youths from Xinghuo Club stay in Tainan? We plan to use these patriotic youths as a basis to set up a cadre school in Tainan, which specializes in training administrative officers. and military reserve cadres."

"Then stay in Tainan!" Someone made a decision.

According to Zhou Weihan's plan, after the establishment of the Tainan Cadre School, young people of the right age will be selected in a small area in Tainan to teach cultural courses as a backup source of students for the Cadre School.

In this way, with the patriotic youth recruited from all over the country, coupled with the reserve students cultivated in the base area, the Tainan Cadre School can continuously provide talents.
