"Are you really okay?" Zhong Yi said, "The first crop of early rice is about to be harvested. ”

Yinjiang can grow two crops of rice a year, and on the way to Xiaogang just now, Zhong Yi saw that the rice fields on the roadside had begun to turn yellow, and it was obvious that the harvest season was about to come.

"If I say it's okay, it's okay." Zhao Xingjiu said, "Besides, if the early rice rots in the field, the loss is only one season of rice, and if the Yinjiang River is gone, the loss will not be one or two seasons of rice." ”

"Listen, everybody." Zhong Yi turned to face the dozen or so reporters accompanying him, and pointed at Zhao Xingjiu and said, "This is our ordinary people in Yinjiang, this is the real hero!" ”

More than a dozen reporters who accompanied him raised their cameras one after another and aimed at Zhao Xingjiu to shoot violently.

A reporter from Yinjiang Daily even interviewed Zhao Xingjiu, and Zhong Yi took the opportunity to get out.

Zhong Yi came to check the preparation of the transport team, and with the old man Zhao Xingjiu by his side, it was difficult to get the real situation, because Zhao Xingjiu was the mayor of Xiaogang Town and the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

In front of him, no one in Xiaogang Town dared to tell the truth.

Zhong Yi walked to the corner of the crowd and grabbed one of them, a middle-aged man who was about forty years old and looked honest.

"Uncle, how old are you?" Zhong Yi asked.

The man said: "Forty-six years old." ”

Zhong Yi said: "How many people are in the family? ”

"Seven." The man said with a smile, "The old couple has five children, two daughters are married, and there are two sons below, the youngest daughter is just three years old. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Yi's expression suddenly darkened.

From the oral account of the man, it is known that the two couples had at least ten children, but only five survived, and due to poor medical conditions, the infant mortality rate in this era can be said to be very high.

Then there are few long-lived old people, because the man in front of him is only forty-six years old, but both parents are gone, so it can be seen that there are very few elderly people over 70 years old.

Zhong Yi said again: "Seeing that the first crop of rice is about to ripen, can the family be busy?" ”

"That's definitely too busy." The man shook his head and said, "The eldest son joined the coastal defense corps, and I joined the transportation team again, and there are only the children left at home, the second child is only ten years old, and he can't do heavy work at all." ”

Zhong Yi's heart froze, and he said, "That patriarch still asked you to come over to join the transport team?" ”

"Why don't you come?" The man said, "Our family is pretty good, but it's even more difficult for other families." ”

Zhong Yi asked in a low voice: "Uncle, you tell me the truth, did you volunteer to join the transport team, or did Old Man Zhao force you?" Don't worry, I won't tell the old man. ”

As for the convoy, Zhong Yi's request is based on the principle of voluntariness, and there must be no coercion.

In this regard, the situation of the People's Liberation Army and the National Army in another time and space has given the most stark contrast.

In another time and space, the PLA fully united the masses and fully mobilized the masses, so in the process of supporting the front, not only did not there be a shortage of materials, but also the efficiency was also very high, and the fathers and villagers who participated in the transport team would rather go hungry themselves than use the food they carried.

The national army, which transports supplies by capturing strong men, is a different situation.

Therefore, Zhong Yi never wanted the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps to repeat the mistakes of the national army.

"I volunteered, and the patriarch didn't force me." The man hurriedly said, "This chief, don't you know, my boss is a soldier in the coastal defense corps, if no one helps them transport supplies, they can't beat the devils, if the battle is lost, my boss can't come back, compared to the boss's life, what is a mere season of rice, not to mention ......"

Zhong Yi's heart moved, and he asked again, "What's more?" ”

The man said: "What's more, even if the early rice rots in the field, there is still a second season." ”

Zhong Yi was still not at ease, and asked several villagers in a row, but the answer was the same.

It was only at this time that Zhong Yi finally relaxed a little, and it seemed that the transport team was no longer a problem.

The transport team organized by the Propaganda Department may not be able to compare with the former Minfu in the Huaihai Campaign in another time and space, but it should be more than enough to support the more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps.

At this time, Zhao Xingjiu had also finished accepting an interview with a reporter from Yinjiang Daily and walked over.

"Xiao Zhong, I have something to tell you." Zhao Xingjiu said, "It's that human-powered tricycle, can you give us a dozen more?" If you can't get a dozen of them, you can get a few, and this thing is really easy to use. ”

Three days ago, the first batch of 500 human-powered tricycles trial-produced by Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. was produced.

There is a reason why Sanyou Industrial is so efficient, because Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. originally had a bicycle factory in Shanghai, and this bicycle factory had a serious backlog.

After receiving the order for a human-powered tricycle, Chang Chengyun immediately rented a merchant ship from the Sino-Italian Steamship Company to transport all the 500 bicycles in stock to Yinjiang, and then converted the 500 bicycles into human-powered tricycles.

The bicycle factory in Yinjiang is under construction, and because Zhong Yi issued an executive order in the name of the mayor, all departments gave the green light to the bicycle factory, so the progress is very fast.

The most conservative estimate is that in half a month, Yinjiang Bicycles will be able to be completed and put into production.

The reason why Zhong Yi was in a hurry to build a bicycle factory was because he wanted to start building a self-propelled army with "Yinjiang characteristics".

Self-propelled troops, this is actually not a concept pioneered by Zhong Yi.

In another time and space, during the Japanese army's campaign across Southeast Asia, the commander of the 25th Army, Yamashita Fumi, used thousands of bicycles captured in Hong Kong to form a silver wheel army with ingenuity.

This Yinlun unit is based on the 42nd Infantry Wing of the Fifth Division, and each person has a bicycle.

The order given to Yamashita by the Japanese base camp was to break through the 700-kilometer Malay Peninsula within 100 days, cross the Straits of Johor, and capture Singapore.

The British troops stationed in Singapore also thought that it would take at least three months for the Japanese army to reach the back shore of the Johor Strait.

However, it took less than a month for Yamashita to cross the entire Malay Peninsula and suddenly appear on the northern shore of the Straits of Johor.

When the Japanese army suddenly appeared on the north shore of the Straits of Johor, the 110,000 British troops stationed in Singapore were suddenly disheartened, and only symbolically resisted for three days, and then raised the white flag to surrender to the vanguard of less than 5,000 troops sent by the 5th Division.

Therefore, Zhong Yi also wanted to follow Yamashita Fengwen to form a self-propelled army.

Mechanized troops and motorized troops have no money to engage in them, but they can still be self-propelled.
