After passing Xiaguan, Young Master Chen and his party truly realized what it means to "go to go to Mangshiba, marry your wife first; go to Gengma,

I bought the coffin; ten people arrived in Mengla, nine people couldn’t go home!"

Because most roads are made of cutting slopes and rocks, when driving, the sky is blue and white clouds are on the top and the abyss is ten thousand feet deep. Many sections of the road are abrupt and shaking. There are mountains on both sides. One time, you have to circumnate from the top of the peak to the bottom of the river, and the other time, you have to climb from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, constantly circling around the Yangyan Road.

Driving on this earthy highway is no different from rushing into a mine formation alone. It not only requires superb driving skills, but also a brave heart. In order to ensure the safety of his immediate boss and himself, Zhang Yanyuan specially changed two experienced drivers before setting off again.

Just after turning a sharp and tilted bend, Gu Yusheng, a driver of the Pioneer 1 team, introduced: "It has not rained these two days, and the car has not loaded a few tons of goods, which is relatively easy to walk. If it encounters rainy season, the mountains are steep and the road is slippery and the wheels will slip if you are not careful. If you skip, the car will be destroyed and people will die! This area often collapses, so you must cooperate with the road protection team to eliminate one danger after another. Sometimes you can only hide in the cab and endure hunger, and wait until the sky is clear before you can set off again."

This is just the beginning!

Once the Japanese army launches a large-scale bombing, their situation will be even more dangerous. While thinking about how to improve transportation efficiency and how to avoid unnecessary casualties, Mr. Chen asked thoughtfully: "Master Gu, how did you drivers and mechanics organize your department from returning to arranging work?"

Gu Yusheng held the steering wheel tightly and stared at the front without distraction. "In fact, there were more than a dozen batches of us, returning from Vietnam and Myanmar respectively. Before coming, everyone had a "paobao" and then received two months of military training. Then they were assigned to four brigades of 11, 12, 13, and 14. The mechanics were mixed into the brigades' five brigades of 1, 3, 5, 9, and 15. In addition to being assigned to the brigades' services, some mechanics were assigned to overhaul factories in Mangshi, Xiaguan, Baoshan, Kunming, Guiyang and Chongqing as repair workers."

Considering that he was about to form a convoy, Master Chen continued to ask: "Where is the convoy, let's talk about the situation of the convoy."

"The fleet is composed of the 'three-three system'. Five to seven vehicles are one class, one driver per car, and the squad leader has no cars. He controls the operation of the whole class and replaces those who have left sick at any time. Three classes are a team, three teams are a squadron, and four squadrons are a brigade. Each brigade has about 190 cars, and it is also equipped with several personnel such as vehicle affairs, technical assistants, general affairs, accountants, cashiers, political trainers and car guards. They are all collective actions and are not allowed to go out separately."

The transportation department’s arrangements are reasonable, but in the opinion of Mr. Chen, it is far from enough.

When he was in college before he was reborn, he worked in a express delivery company for summer work and had some understanding of road logistics. Based on the current situation, he believes that there is still a lot of room for improvement. After all, Song Ziliang has built a relatively complete team, factory, warehouse and station transportation system. If this system can be integrated again, it should be able to double the transportation efficiency on the existing basis.

For all kinds of transportation institutions, integration is equivalent to rectification and will inevitably touch their vital interests. Thinking that even Chairman Jiang was helpless about this, Young Master Chen realized that he had to do all aspects of work so that he could safely transport tens of thousands of Nanyang expatriates back to his country.

Just as he was thinking hard about how to make the big men of the mountains and factions cooperate with him, Xie Wenshan, who was sitting in the car, knocked on the window, "Sitting, Manager Yang urgently called, please confirm the various weapons and equipment needed by the training office as soon as possible."

This was a big event. Master Chen immediately signaled Gu Yusheng to stop the car. After Chen Changshou changed himself to the passenger seat, he lifted up the canvas and climbed into the carriage with two high-power radio stations.

Zhang Yanyuan looked sideways at the list of weapons to be purchased in Liang Weihua's hand, and sighed with emotion: "You can actually get the weapons and equipment of two reorganized divisions. At the seat, you Nanyang elders are not simple!"

Smuggling arms is one of the important sources of economic resources for the five major surnamed companies in Penang. Master Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. While taking the list, he said as if nothing happened: "Each of them has their own tricks. Besides, Nanyang is not as relaxed as the country, and the environment is much more relaxed. As long as you have money, nothing can be done."

Before leaving, Mr. Chen had been working too much. The old man Chen Hongzhen was responsible for dealing with various overseas Chinese relief agencies and major leaders in Chongqing and Yunnan. Mr. Chen was responsible for transportation wholeheartedly, while Liang Weihua and Zhang Xiaoguo, who were still on the road, were responsible for the work of the 28th Re-training Office.

The old ones are too old and the new ones are not coming. Thinking that more than 20,000 carefully selected Nanyang children are about to return to China, Liang Weihua, the major general deputy director, was very excited and pointed to the list and said: "According to your opinion, what Manager Yang has examples are almost all British equipment. Revolver, Enfield 4 rifle, Brown light machine gun and Vicks Mark 1 heavy machine gun... There are all kinds of things, and there are even M36 grenades and flamethrowers."

Master Chen took a look and turned around and asked, "Where did it produce it? Not to mention a bunch of eliminated goods."

Xie Wenshan was stunned and quickly replied: "There are three channels for the report. The source of weapons is divided into three channels. One is the inventory of the Dutch and Indian troops. Manager Yang said that almost all of them are new and the quotation is more reasonable; the other is that the private goods of the British army are of a wide variety and the price is slightly higher, but the quantity is limited, so they can only be used as a supplement; the other is that they purchase directly from the Australian military factory in Melbourne, with guaranteed quantity and quality, and can also be shipped to Yangon by sea. Since there are also orders in the UK, the quotation is nearly 40% higher than before the war."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shangwen, who had been resting, suddenly opened his eyes, "If the tariffs and 'Longyun Tax' of the British and Myanmar authorities were included and the purchases were directly purchased from the Melbourne military factory, the price was almost twice that of the pre-war period."

When fighting, how can there be no price increase? Master Chen pondered for a moment and asked softly: "What about the Military Control Commission?"

"Except for artillery and required shells, ** is rarely purchased for British equipment, and there is no transaction price to refer to. However, compared with similar German and American equipment, the price is fair, and there is no lion's mouth."

Master Chen weighed the pros and conscientiously said: "Then eat up all the warehouses of the Dutch and Indian Army, and buy them directly from Melbourne. The Dutch and Indian Army must be quick to move, and try to load the ship at the end of this month or early next month, so as to save you from long nights and dreams."

"yes."

Xie Wenshan focused his head and asked again: "What about the quantity? Manager Yang specifically explained in the telegram that as long as the troops can be combat-capable, money is not a problem."

With the participation of gangs in Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, the "Malaya Federation of Society" has become an unofficial tax institution, and 10 or 20 million is only two or three months for them.

Instead of being bribed and squandered by bureaucrats of all sizes of the National Government, it is better to let yourself use it in practice. Master Chen and Liang Weihua looked at each other and said expressionlessly: "Since money is not a problem, then purchase it according to the search team's standards."

Liang Weihua was ecstatic, grabbed the paper and pen and calculated while saying to himself: "There are 24,000 revolvers, 20,000 Enfield rifles, 1,850 Brown light machine guns, 3,500 Langchester submachine guns, 800 Vickers heavy machine guns, 300 sets of flamethrowers and anti-tank bazooka each, and bullets and grenades are arranged according to ten battle bases..."

Chen Shangwen took the list he listed, then calculated the quotation on the list to be purchased, and smiled: "Sitting, including the communication equipment, telescopes, military uniforms, medicines, and the steel helmets, shovels and sabers that were just confirmed the day before yesterday, the Federation of Society will spend at least 8.3 million yuan on this. This has not counted the freight, tariffs and Longyun tax."

He is so rich and powerful. He spends so much money to equip 20,000 people, but he doesn’t have a cannon yet!

Zhang Yanyuan was shocked and was about to say something, but Master Chen smiled as if nothing had happened: "The freight must be paid, but this tariff and Longyun tax... it's better to be exempted if possible."

Chen Baohua, who had been silent, was confused and couldn't help but ask: "How can I avoid it?"

"There are more than 30 overseas Chinese in Myanmar. If you ask them to help and hire more fishing boats to transport them, isn't this tariff exempt? Longyun Tax is even more inconsistent. The top priority is to ensure transportation, so it is more appropriate for the branches of the retraining department's officers and soldiers to stay in Myanmar."

If a person does not return to his country, there is naturally no need to return to his country, let alone be plucked by the king of Yunnan.

Chen Baohua then realized that before he could speak, Zhang Yanyuan said anxiously: "More than 20,000 Nanyang children have such a big goal, can the British agree? Southwest transportation is related to the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan. We must not give people a handle because of this. It is important to be a major concern. You must think twice before you act!"

Master Chen's face turned upright and said unquestionably: "Team Leader Zhang, it's my reason for my arrangements like this. And he will also ask the committee and the Military Commission for instructions and report, so you don't need to worry about this."

How could Zhang Yanyuan watch him stuff 20,000 troops into various branches in Myanmar, and then said, "Saturday, you misunderstood what I mean. As long as you don't wear military uniforms and don't list them with great fanfare, it's okay to sprinkle 20,000 people on the branches along the line. But the troops are always troops, do you always have to train, right? If you really get noticed by the British, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Then be careful."

Master Chen smiled and said meaningfully: "Team Leader Zhang, don't forget that we still have 300,000 overseas Chinese in Myanmar. As long as they can help, I think it's okay to find a few camps in the deep mountains and forests on both sides of the line. Besides, there are several roads to enter Myanmar, from Thailand, Yangon, and even from India. If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows that there are 20,000 overseas Chinese in myanmar?"

Although Master Chen was considerate, Zhang Yanyuan said coldly: "The commissioner will not agree."

Chen Shangwen was happy and pointed to the map on the ammunition box and smiled: "Sitting for instructions and reports is respect for Chairman Chiang. Don't forget that Myanmar is the territory of the British. No matter how powerful the Chairman is, he cannot control matters outside the border."

"You are making your own decisions!"

"We support the War of Resistance."
