Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

After dinner and dinner, the old men left the table one after another and prepared to return to the Far East. Even Lao Ma, who was so drunk that he was "unconscious", got up from the table.

On the occasion of parting, Huang He jogged all the way to the front of his ally's convoy and suggested to his friend:

"Old Ma, the sun is going to set soon, and it's not safe to travel at night."

"What's more, the comrades of the delegation have been drinking, and everyone is not in a good state now. Otherwise, you can stay in the guest house for one night and wait until dawn tomorrow morning before setting off."

"And I came to Baotou this time just on the spur of the moment. I didn't know you were coming too. Give me some time, let me arrange another one, and prepare a formal gift for you by the way."

Huang He's sincere words moved Marklov, but he waved his hand to express his polite refusal.

In Lao Maozi's opinion, it doesn't matter whether it's a Japanese saguan sword or a box of beautifully packaged Fen wine. As long as your heart reaches it, it will be the best shared memory with your friends.

However, considering that his friend was a very particular person, Lao Ma still pointed to the wine box placed in the back seat of the jeep, and then said in a serious tone:

"Huang, the friendship between comrades does not need red tape, and the relationship between us does not need gifts to maintain."

"Today is different from the past. If I were still the commander of the transport team, I would definitely listen to your suggestion and stay one more night. But now I am the chief of staff of the 16th Group Army, and any action must be taken together with the troops."

"Next time, I hope that when we meet next time, we will no longer be involuntarily, and we will no longer be shrouded in the shadow of war."

Makarov's heartfelt words immediately made Huang He feel warm. As a smart man, he naturally heard the deep meaning in the other party's words.

After a moment, the two big hands held each other tightly.

"Okay, then we'll see you after the war is over. Then we'll go fishing in Lake Baikal first, and then go to the mountain city to eat hot pot!"

"Haha, okay! Then it's a deal!"

······

After watching the convoy of his allies disappear from sight along with billowing smoke and dust, Huang He first arranged for the guards to send his junior back to the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, and then followed the army reorganization experts into the war room of the military division.

There are no outsiders here anymore. As soon as Huang He stepped into the room, he looked up and saw a construction map.

Looking at the dense progress and demand annotations on the map, Mr. Nie's tone inevitably revealed a bit of fatigue:

"Hey, we really suffered from our inexperience. No one told me before the construction started that opening up a new railway line from scratch is such a difficult and large project."

"If it weren't for the support from the headquarters of a group of highly skilled railway workers, the comrades would probably not be able to pass the test of judging the geological structure."

"But even with the efforts of the entire military region, more than 30,000 migrant workers and technical backbones were mobilized. In more than four months, they could barely build dozens of kilometers."

Upon hearing these words, Huang He's eyes flashed with surprise.

He was very familiar with the Ji'er Railway in his previous life, and the famous Zhu Rihe was one of the stations.

As an important transportation line connecting two major forces, it is sparsely populated, has a changeable climate, and even crosses many complex terrains such as plateaus, hills, and basins.

Carrying out construction in such a harsh natural environment and lacking the assistance of large-scale construction machinery, it is an incredible thing for the military region to be able to build dozens of kilometers in four months.

According to later data, it would have taken at least three years to build a 300-kilometer railway in Guo Prefecture's heyday, without considering external factors such as corruption.

Even ten years later, it took Rabbit two years to build the second line.

All I can say is that the headquarters really chose the right person when entrusting the task to Mr. Nie. The title of founder of the base area is fully worthy of the name.

Xu felt that his attitude was a bit negative. In order not to worry his colleagues too much, the army reorganization expert regained his energy and continued to add:

"I have encountered similar difficulties before. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also started from scratch."

"In order to speed up the construction of the railway as much as possible, I specially asked the comrades in the propaganda department to increase their propaganda efforts in order to attract some local herdsmen to join the construction team."

"Building railways, in addition to the need for mutual aid treaties, has the function of promoting the modernization of agriculture and animal husbandry. If it is beneficial to them and they can get paid, the local people will definitely actively cooperate with the army's work."

It's coming, it's classic.

No matter how difficult the conditions are, Army restructuring experts can always pull together a brand new team.

However, even with the addition of local herdsmen, Huanghe still looks at the current construction progress and situation with some anxiety.

This is really not that he is too harsh. After all, the side area is competing for time now. Only by increasing the output before the old fools completely calm down can we exchange materials for more benefits and benefits.

No way, providing help in times of need and icing on the cake are two completely different concepts.

"Mr. Nie, see if we can send an application to our superiors to try to mobilize a group of laborers from other provinces. When the entire line is mobilized at the same time, we will definitely shorten the construction period of the second line."

Huang He's proposal made the army reorganization experts think deeply. There is no shame in asking for help, but other provinces also have their own tasks.

Jin Province needs to consolidate its defenses and prevent infiltration, and infrastructure work such as road construction and track changes are also in full swing.

The situation in Lu Province is also very complicated. Let’s not talk about how to send the labor force to Suiyuan. The battles, large and small, will still have to be fought for a while.

As for Yu Province

Thinking of this, the army reorganization expert immediately understood Huang He's unspoken thoughts. After thinking deeply for a while, he even quickly planned out the rough outline of the plan in his mind.

"Work-for-relief? This is indeed a good choice."

"As long as we cross the Mother River and enter Zhongtiao Mountain, we can send the refugees from Henan Province to Suiyuan through the railway network. In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone and reduce the forward pressure."

"Wonderful, really wonderful. I will draft the document now and apply for approval from the headquarters and the border area." (End of Chapter)
