Chapter 73 Li Yunlong loses his family, the Japanese invaders attack
Zhang Wanhe, who was originally still angry, was shocked when he heard Li Yunlong mention machine tools.
His expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright, his eyes widened as big as copper bells, staring at Li Yunlong, and his voice even rose a few degrees.
"What did you say? Say it again! Did I hear you correctly? You plan to use machine tools to replace people?"
Zhang Wanhe's tone was full of shock and disbelief.
"Yes, Minister Zhang, I am not kidding. I am willing to exchange machine tools for those 300 skilled workers."
When Zhang Wanhe heard this, he was so happy that his heart burst into laughter.
Zhang Wanhe smiled heartily after hearing what Li Yunlong said.
He didn't expect that Li Yunlong had such a good thing in his hands. This is a machine tool equipment.
This kind of equipment was extremely rare in the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Arsenal.
Originally, he was planning to give the person to Li Yunlong. After all, this matter had already been approved by the head of the headquarters.
He just couldn't stand Li Yunlong's behavior, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.
"Old Li, of course I agree!"
Zhang Wanhe's tone became unusually enthusiastic, and he quickly pulled Li Yunlong towards the small office.
"Come on, let's go sit in the small office. Look at me, you, Captain Li, are here, but I didn't even make you a cup of tea. How rude of you."
Zhang Wanhe led Li Yunlong into his small office. He gently opened the drawer, carefully took out a bag of tea, and then skillfully brewed two cups of tea.
The aroma of tea filled the entire office.
He walked over to Li Yunlong with a cup of tea in his hand and said with a smile, "Old Li, try my tea. This is the good stuff I asked someone to bring back from Wuyi Mountain. I usually don't want to drink it, so I brought it out today to share with you."
Li Yunlong took the tea and took a sip. In fact, he didn't know much about tea. He just felt that this tea was not much different from the one he usually drank.
But he still smiled and praised: "Good tea, good tea, worthy of being the good tea collected by Minister Zhang, it is really unforgettable."
"Minister Zhang, regarding the issue of manpower, when do you think I can send people away? As for the equipment, I will arrange for it to be delivered to you later." Li Yunlong changed the subject and got to the point.
Zhang Wanhe laughed when he heard this and said, "Old Li, you can take the person away anytime. I'll arrange it right away."
As he spoke, he shouted outside the office, "Guard, go inform the production team leader and ask him to prepare the 300 technical workers that the head of the headquarters ordered and bring them here together."
"Yes, Chief!" The guard immediately responded and quickly ran to the arsenal to find someone.
After a while, several guards came to the outside of the office with a group of technical workers.
Zhang Wanhe introduced to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, these are the technical workers that the head of the headquarters has assigned to you. They are all valuable talents."
Li Yunlong looked at the skilled workers in front of him and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
He assured Zhang Wanhe: "Minister Zhang, rest assured. Since these workers have come to our county brigade, our county brigade will do its utmost to protect their personal safety and will never let them suffer any harm."
Zhang Wanhe nodded with satisfaction, and then he asked curiously: "Old Li, what is the current scale of your county brigade's arsenal? I heard that your arsenal is very powerful."
"Minister Zhang, thank you for your praise."
"The scale of our county brigade's arsenal is not very large. There are only about ten pieces of equipment in it. These equipment were mainly captured from the Japanese. Although it is not as large as the headquarters arsenal, it can meet some of our basic needs."
Li Yunlong looked at the team in front of him, turned around and said to Zhang Wanhe:
"Minister Zhang, all the workers are already in place. I will leave for Ping'an County now. I will come to the headquarters next time and we will have a good reunion."
"Okay, Lao Li, be careful on the road."
Zhang Wanhe responded with a smile, looking forward to the machine tools and equipment that Li Yunlong would soon deliver.
In this way, Li Yunlong and 300 technical workers set out on the journey back to Ping'an County.
After a night of trekking, when the first ray of morning sunlight shone on the earth, Li Yunlong led the team to Lijiazhuang.
When Gaoda learned the news that Li Yunlong had returned, he immediately walked out of the command center.
When he saw Li Yunlong and the team behind him, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Old Li, you're finally back! Did you bring everyone back?"
"Don't worry, Lao Gao. We have brought the people back to you."
"Hahaha, that's great! The workers are finally in place, and our arsenal can increase production!"
However, Li Yunlong's next words gave Gaoda a bad feeling.
"Lao Gao, there was a small incident during the process of requesting the person. I agreed to one condition from Director Zhang of the Arsenal."
"Lao Li, what did you promise Minister Zhang?"
"Lao Gao, it's actually not a big deal. I just promised to give a set of machine tools to the headquarters arsenal."
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Gaoda's eyes widened and he muttered to himself, "Damn it, Li Yunlong, you're a loser! Do you know how valuable machine tools are?
There are only five or six sets in the entire Ping An Arsenal, and you gave one away without blinking an eye! I really admire you, Old Six! Forget it, since you have already agreed, you can't regret it now."
Gaoda took a deep breath, calmed down, then turned to Li Yunlong and said as calmly as possible:
"Well, since you've already promised Minister Zhang, then find time to send this set of machine tools out. Fortunately, you finally brought the people back."
Then, Gaoda shouted loudly: "Li Dazhuang, come in!"
When Li Dazhuang heard the order, he immediately ran in from outside the door: "Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Go and take the skilled workers that the instructor has brought back to the Ping'an Arsenal and settle them down properly."
"Yes, Captain!"
Li Dazhuang responded, then turned around and prepared to go out to carry out the mission.
Just then, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Li Dakang ran in in a panic.
"Captain, it's bad! The Japanese have sent out troops! They are heading towards our Lijia Village!
According to the information sent back by our spies, the Japanese sent out a large battalion of troops this time, more than 1500 people!" Li Dakang said breathlessly.
When Li Yunlong heard the news, his face instantly became solemn.
He didn't expect that the Japanese would actually send out a battalion of troops to encircle and suppress the county brigade.
You know, there are less than 2000 people in the county brigade now, a large part of whom are logistics troops, and the number of troops that can actually fight is less than 1600.
However, Gaoda remained relatively calm. He waved his hand, signaling Li Dakang not to be too nervous.
"Don't panic. What are you panicking about? Stay calm. Stay calm."
"It's just 1500 little devils, isn't it? It's no problem. Our county brigade is no pushover!"
