Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 121 Dawn Project
"This requires the strong support of the brigade commander and the division commander." Facing the brigade commander's question, Ren Zhong smiled slightly. He had already planned for this.

"Brigade Commander, you have countless connections in the rear, both in the open and in the dark. This time, I, Ren Zhong, would definitely not be able to accomplish anything by fighting alone with my bare hands, but with your support, it will be different."

Hearing this, the brigade commander felt a tightness in his heart, as if it was not sensible for him to stay today.

"Xiao Ren, you said that as long as we can do it, we will spare no effort to support you!" The division commander smiled. "Old Chen and I will not talk about it. As long as our organization can do it, I will sacrifice my old face and go to the headquarters and the border area to ask for it for you."

Although the division commander's words sounded a little bland, Ren Zhong could feel the heavy weight of them. Convincing both the division commander and the brigade commander to give their full support was no small feat. Basically, Ren Zhong could use a part of the entire organization's resources, both at the front and in the rear!
"Division Commander, without further ado, with your support, I will be more confident in doing this. The problem mentioned by the Brigade Commander is not a big problem for me for the time being."

"The situation in our border region is relatively stable. I will find a way to independently solve the expenses of this group of experts coming to the border region so as not to cause financial trouble to the border region. Of course, the border region will still need to cooperate in solving other problems, such as building housing, various test sites and factories, etc."

"I plan to use the organization's penicillin to sell in the rear and raise at least one million dollars as the start-up funds for this matter!"

When Ren Zhong said this, both the division commander and the brigade commander were a little shocked by Ren Zhong's generosity!

You have to know that one million dollars is a huge number in this world. An ordinary family of three can have enough food to eat with five dollars a month, and it is no problem to buy 80 kilograms of rice in the rear. And this is dollars, not legal tender. The legal tender of preserved fruits is depreciating at any time, but dollars will not.

Ren Zhong said that he would exchange penicillin for silver dollars. Given the scarcity of penicillin, he would definitely only accept silver dollars or gold, not legal tender.

"Brother Ren, there won't be any problems with your organization if you do this, right?" the brigade commander asked with some concern. Such a large amount was much larger than what Ren Zhong had traded before.

Normally, it is difficult for an organization to give one person such enormous power.

"I have contacted the organization. Our organization fully supports this plan. Money, food and subsequent materials will be input in large quantities, and transportation channels to the border areas will be opened up." Ren Zhong said calmly.

There is no other way. We cannot abandon the cover of the organization, otherwise it will be difficult to do it ourselves.

"We raise one million dollars every year. I think it should be enough to support a research and development team of a thousand people. After all, the experts who are willing to come to our border area now should not be greedy for enjoyment. We just need to provide them with basic support and ensure that these people and their families will not go hungry."

One million dollars a year! The border area finances don't have such a large income! The division commander and the brigade commander smiled bitterly at each other. It was the first time they talked about big things with a rich man like Ren Zhong. They were really subversive about the numbers. The base headquarters faced hundreds of thousands of troops and often couldn't even take out tens of thousands of dollars. But Ren Zhong started with a million dollars!

This is totally not an order of magnitude.

"Brother Ren, not really, not really. This one million is more than enough to support 10,000 people." The brigade commander said with a wry smile, "With this money, I believe the border region will find ways to solve the food and clothing expenses of your research institute. Even if you have to buy it outside the border region, it will be enough."

The brigade commander is a person with great connections. He is not only familiar with military intelligence, but also with the people's livelihood at the grassroots level. "In that case, Brother Ren, your plan is ready except for the east wind. I will find a way to let the comrades on the intelligence front solve the talent transportation routes and supplies from the rear to the border areas. In principle, we will set up one or two receiving stations for every 4000 kilometers where roads are accessible. From Kuncheng to the border area, it is nearly 3000 miles, and there are more than miles that can be accessed by road. Nearly a quarter of it may need to be walked. We will set up receiving stations every miles. If we escort the whole way, we can deliver the people in more than a month." The brigade commander is indeed a military expert. He can talk about the geography of the country and come up with a transfer plan in minutes.

Ren Zhong was overjoyed, but what worried him most was actually how to transfer these people. You know, although it was the rear area, it was now in chaos and full of banditry, and it was not easy for ordinary people to travel thousands of miles.

If the brigade commander is willing to take action, the safety of the entire route will instantly increase by an order of magnitude.

"Then I will do the next work. I am confident that I can convince some experts to come here," Ren Zhong said confidently, "but to sell penicillin in the rear, I still need someone to help with the shipment. I can ask the organization to take the goods to the big cities such as Shancheng and Chengdu along the way. It would be best to collect gold bars according to the gold price, and sell the goods directly in a short period of time in each place in a wholesale manner. In this way, our organization can transfer the collected payment back to the base. Avoid large-scale transactions that cause local shocks and affect the transfer of payment."

The amount of money that Ren Zhong used to trade penicillin was huge. Even if one million oceans were converted into gold, it would be more than 20,000 taels. It was impossible to transport it in a concentrated manner. It would be a real test of human nature for such a huge amount of money to travel thousands of miles, involving hundreds of people.

Therefore, Ren Zhong's plan was to collect the gold and bring it back to the main world after selling it out in one place, and then find a way to find someone in the main world to make a batch of "oceans" and bring them back to the world of Bright Sword. This way, he could not only make back the price difference, but more importantly, it was very safe.

In the main world, the gold-silver ratio is now 80 times faster than average. One gram of silver is only 1 yuan, and the material cost of one dollar is only 6 yuan. Adding the production cost, the batch reaches one million, and the cost of making a silver dollar will not exceed 160 yuan. Adding the risk cost premium of 170 yuan, there is no problem in getting it.

After all, the direct profit from this processing order is 2 million, which is very rare in today's difficult business world.

After all this, Ren Zhong could at least make an extra one million dollars, which would cover his expenses for two years. If he could also collect some famous calligraphy and paintings along the way, it would be a pleasant surprise.

Ren Zhong discussed with the division commander and brigade commander until midnight and code-named the plan Dawn. It was not just a simple talent introduction plan, but turned into a complex and comprehensive large-scale plan.

In addition to reselling penicillin and collecting calligraphy and paintings along the way, the brigade commander also asked Ren Zhong to "take the opportunity" to solve the communication problem for the local underground organization. This was of course because he had his eyes on the PARASET radio station that Ren Zhong had recently provided. After it was finalized and ready for mass production, this radio station was named Red Star Radio in Yangcun, and the Type 71 walkie-talkie was named Shuguang.

The Red Star Radio was originally designed for underground organizations in Europe. After being improved by Ren Zhong and replaced by a new generation of electron tubes, it consumes less power and is more covert to use. It is the best helper for transmitting information for secret organizations in the rear.

Ren Zhong felt obliged to do this and agreed without hesitation.

According to the time confirmed by Ren Zhong and the two leaders, the plan was launched immediately, but the comrades of the underground organization planned and contacted channels in the early stage. It was not until September that Ren Zhong actually set out for Kuncheng. By then, Ren Zhong would pass through Chang'an, Rongcheng, Shancheng, Qiancheng and then to Kuncheng. On the one hand, he would sell penicillin in large quantities to the rear area, and on the other hand, he would leave valuable supplies such as radio stations for the underground organizations along the way.

Ren Zhong's round trip will be nearly ten thousand miles. Although he is not relying entirely on walking, there are many places in the middle that are not accessible by car, so it is not easy for Ren Zhong and his group.
