These days, the devils are not attacking the territory of the vanguard army. This gave the base a moment of tranquility. This tranquility immediately led to a resurgence of cold business activity. In particular, Qidu, which was not affected by the war, went from Zhoucun to Linzi, and many shops opened early on the sixth day of the new year.

"Didn't you say don't just contact us?" Sakata Nishino glanced at the tea customers around him, and reprimanded in a low voice when he finished with the tea handed over by Eighteen.

Because of his knowledge of Shandong and other regions, he was exempted from the culpability that would arise from the losses caused by the arms incident. is still in charge of spying on the news of the vanguard army, but the direct leader has become Major General Teng Gang. Yesterday he received an emergency signal from the eighteenth. I had to come to the territory of the vanguard army. Recently, he has more than half of the new spies he has planted in various places, and Jian Eighteen is already his number one spy.

"There is urgent information!" There is a tea shop in the eighteenth room, and there is a lot of information from the people who come and go. From time to time, some valuable messages come out.

"What......"

"Cigarettes! The special cigarettes of the Pioneer Army, the Victory brand cigarettes! A cigarette seller shouted as he walked past them. Seeing that Jian Eighteen waved his hand, he walked away with interest. At this point, the two of them were the only ones left around the table in the corner.

"They are short of food." Jian Eighteen directly opened his mouth and whispered, "And it's very lacking!" ”

"Didn't they just get food during the Chinese New Year?" Sakata was also able to judge from the previous information that the vanguard army was short of food, but it was not known how much they lacked.

"That's buying people's hearts! I have inquired in many ways, and it is estimated that the grain within the vanguard army will not support April, and it will be at least one and a half months short of the summer grain harvest. Jian Eighteen whispered.

"What? ...... they? Sakata was also very surprised, he didn't expect the shortage of food within the vanguard army to be so serious.

"Is the information reliable?" He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, in front of Teng Gang, he needed a score to prove his talent, and continuous intelligence mistakes had already made him face the possibility of overturning the case.

"It's indicated on all three lines, and this news is very reliable!" Eighteen reconfirmed.

"Good!" Sakata couldn't help but smile and nodded, he knew the important surname of this information. If the news is true, it will be of far-reaching significance to the future strategy of the vanguard army.

Jian Eighteen is not afraid that he will come to check, if you do not consider the production of nutritious meals in the base, this data can be true.

A day later, this information was piled up on Teng Gang's desk along with other verified information.

"Roar!" Teng Gang nodded while looking at it, the recent defeat of the Empire against the Vanguard Army made him, who was in charge of the general intelligence of the Vanguard Army, very embarrassed.

"That's a good suggestion!" He kept looking at the suggestions put forward by Jian Eighteen, and kept nodding, "This method is feasible, after all, we can't wait for April, and in March, we need the vanguard army to collapse internally." ”

The new plan was soon approved by Shouichi Terauchi, and everything began to revolve around this new plan.

The Jiaodong area began to collect grain on a large scale, which did not require that plan, and it was also what the devils had to do. Naval patrols have also intensified.

At this time, 5,000 orphans in Nanjing sailed out of the port of Nanjing on an Italian cargo ship named Roma and headed for the territory of the vanguard army. He said that he specially showed his tolerance in front of the international observation team, and let him go all the way. The ship bypassed the war-torn land and came to Laizhou Bay.

The Vanguard also showed its sincerity in the arrival of these orphans, which are managed by a number of charities. Because there is no port to call, it can only be reversed by small boat near the port of Giejiaogou. Fortunately, the navy had no interest in attacking the port of Giejiaogou, which had not had much trading during this period, which made the evacuation work go smoothly. After only five days of docking, the entire evacuation was completed. The Roma stopped for only one more day, and after compensating for supplies, it withdrew.

"Whew!" With a long whistle, the Roma cargo ship left its mooring outside Giethoorn and headed straight for Penglai.

As soon as they arrived in Laizhou, the devil's patrol fleet followed the freighter. Nishino Sakata boarded the cargo ship with the inspectors.

"How's it going?" As soon as Sakata saw Majiu, who was a grain merchant, he asked.

"All the best!" Saying that, Jian Nineteen took the initiative to lead Sakata to the warehouse, and a large pile of grain was displayed in front of Sakata.

"That's nearly 2,000 tons, and after a few days of slow reloading, only these were loaded." Jian XIX said.

"Roar, this is already very good, two thousand tons of grain can supply the vanguard army for several days. After a few draws like this, it was enough to make the vanguard army exhausted and die of hardship. Sakata patted Maju's shoulder and laughed loudly.

"This ship is going to Nanjing, ready to pick up the next batch of orphans! I also asked a few to check it out as soon as possible, so as not to upset the three Italians. Jian Nineteen took the opportunity to say. Outside, the roar of an Italian-like 41 could already be heard.

"No more checks! You all know what it is! Sakata waved his hand to stop the 41st from being blocked by several of the navy soldiers who had followed, and chuckled softly: "The more things are pulled out of the territory of the vanguard army, the less they will have." The more refugees are brought in from abroad, the more food they consume. Especially these orphans, they can't work, they can only consume. Now the vanguard army is going to have a headache! ”

"It's already been checked by the devils?" Meng Xiang has been following the news of the Roma.

"It's already been two! All went well. Rat Er reported in time.

"That certificate issued by Teng Gang is still very useful!" Meng Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "However, this time we have made a lot of internal mistakes, this time as soon as the little devil made a high price, those big grain stockpilers took out all the bottom goods." They were quite well-informed, knowing that the vanguard army was short of food, and they were afraid that we would collect them for free, so they all rushed to sell them out this time. Although they didn't know that it was the little devil who bought it, after all, they knew that the grain was being shipped out. Knowing that there is a shortage of grain in the base area, these people still sell grain outside, these people are hateful! ”

Meng Xiang said as he drew a big red cross on the paper in his hand; "Tell Gou Yi, let him sit in the right seat, and catch those few tosses fiercely, but don't kill their heads. This time, they reversed the grain, but they only violated the military management laws promulgated by us, so they were punished, and they were severely punished for ruining their families and property, and they used grain and arable land to pay. ”

He looked at the map again and said, "Inform the Roma that the second step is ready!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Rat Er turned to leave, Meng Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief and said to himself: "All roads lead to Rome!" ”

"I'm sorry, we can't help you transport orphans anymore, we have been ordered that we need to urgently transport a batch of food to Ethiopia, where there is a famine and emergency relief is needed. It just so happens that here is a batch of grain, and we can buy yours for the same price. Room 41 directly found a devil liaison officer who was with the ship and said.

In this matter, the devil liaison officer and the 19 could not make the decision, so they had to quickly ask for instructions. It didn't take long to get a quick reply. The request of the Italians was granted, and even if this batch of grain was brought back to Nanjing, in Nanjing, which was not very short of grain, this price was only afraid of a loss, and at this time, since some people were willing to trade at a fair price, they were naturally happy.

Teng Gang also understood that the so-called disaster in Ethiopia was nothing more than that Ethiopia occupied by the Italians was in chaos and needed food to pacify it. Since it is said that it is an ally, there is nothing difficult about this request.

As a result, the Roma did not turn into the mouth of the Yangtze River, and went directly south.

"Yay!" Meng Xiang, who heard the news, shouted happily. The Roma has come this far, and it has already taken the most difficult step. If Sakata had examined it carefully, he would have found that under the large pile of grain, there was a layer of partition, and under the partition there was a big metal guy floating directly on the water.

The base has been in contact with the 19 and others on the ship, and if it is unfortunate enough to be discovered by the devil, it will have to detonate the base car. It is secondary to make Meng Xiang feel sorry for the one million, the key is that this may delay the establishment of the sub-base, and it may also expose some things about the base car. Fortunately, a series of tactics eventually succeeded.

"This old man's head is so easy to use!" Meng Xiang sighed in his heart, he just changed his words and asked Pharmacist Tang, and after a little thought, Pharmacist Tang had this strategy of killing three birds with one stone. It not only solved the increasingly difficult situation of the lives of those orphans in Nanjing, but also arrested a few large grain merchants, and had an extra batch of grain and land in their hands. The most important thing is to smoothly transport the slow base car, and there is hope for the sub-base.

"By the way, it seems that our first submarine is coming out today." Meng Xiang was in high spirits today, and said to Rat Er with a smile, "Let's take a look!" ”

Thanks to this plan, the navy has not attacked the Sheephorn area recently. In fact, what Meng Xiang didn't know was that this was the result of the intrigue between the army and navy forces of Yuben, not just for the follow-up plan of this orphan's transportation. Affected by the blockade of the devils, Yangjiaogou was no longer a commercial port at this time, and the conditions there did not make the devils' navy look at it. As for the salt works and saline-alkali plants newly built by the vanguard army, the devils do not plan to do it before they are officially put into operation. Only when the hair has grown is the time to harvest.

"It's out!" A 42.7-meter-long shadow of a German Type 2B submarine has solidified and appeared in the dock.

Meng Xiang observed carefully and curiously.

The Type 2B submarine is not as large as the nuclear submarine that Meng Xiang saw in later films, and its underwater displacement is only 328 tons. But 3 torpedo tubes of 533 mm caliber, plus a 20 mm anti-aircraft gun, were also considered quite advanced in this era.

According to Fan Chong, the Central Army also purchased two such submarines from the Germans, but Meng Xiang had never heard of them in later generations, and the Germans may have directly requisitioned them during World War II. Calculate the time, and it's about the same.

"Yes, it's really powerful up close! Go to the deep sea and give it a try! Meng Xiang turned around inside and out.

Long Wu led the order and began to get busy with twenty-four cloned sailors. Ordinary sailors only need one day of training, and there are several dragon warriors who are able to master some basic skills in practice and become qualified sailors without even training.

"It's just a little too small! It's too cramped inside! If it doesn't work, let's spend more money and build the most advanced one, anyway, under the sea, we are not afraid of being seen. Although Meng Xiang thought so in his heart, he knew that if he wanted to build those advanced weapons that had not yet appeared, he could only have a half-price discount. There are still millions of submarines after the discount, which is really not something that Meng Xiang can afford at this time. The slightly cheaper Type 2B submarine has a discount of one-eighth of the price, and Meng Xiang can still take out two or three to train the team, and he can't afford it at this time!

"If you open a sub-base, you must build a few more shipyards and open a few more mines to make more money." Meng Xiang thought about the Roma, which was already moving south, and couldn't help but start thinking about it again.

One by one, inflatable floating rafts were fixed to the submarine, and when the dock was filled with water, the half-floating submarine could already be dragged by the torpedo boat through some shallow sea areas.

"Ordinary people are smart! This method is something that the clones will never come up with. That Cao Han is not a descendant of Cao Chong. His ancestor knew that the elephant was scaled, and he immediately thought of using buoyancy to go up! Seeing this, Meng Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

These two problems, which had embarrassed him for a few days, were successfully solved in a short time after he changed his form and handed them over to the Tang Pharmacist and those people from the staff to deal with. This made him sigh. Instead of lamenting the gap between his own intelligence and others, he lamented the gap between ordinary people and clones. The clone soldiers only need one day of indoctrination to leave the barracks, and without more than ten years or even decades of experience accumulation, they still have a thin foundation!

"School! We still need a large number of professional schools to train our own talents. Only after more than ten years of professional study and research precipitation can we build a complete scientific research system and continue to innovate, and it is not enough to rely on clones alone! ”
