    After passing Xiaguan, Master Chen and his party truly realized what "if you want to go to Mangshiba, you must marry your wife first; if you want to go to Gengma,

    "The coffin is bought; ten people go to Mengla, and nine people can't go home!"  "

    Because the highways are mostly made of cut slopes and rocks, when driving, you can see blue sky and white clouds above, and step into the abyss below. In many sections, huge rocks are abrupt and crumbling.  There are many mountains on both sides. One moment we have to go around from the peak to the bottom of the riverside valley, and the other moment we have to climb desperately from the valley bottom to the top of the mountain, constantly going around and around on the Yangchang Road.

    Driving on this dirt road is no different from driving through a minefield alone. It requires not only superb driving skills, but also a brave heart.  To ensure the safety of his immediate boss and himself, Zhang Yanyuan deliberately replaced two experienced drivers before setting off again.

    Just after turning a sharp and sloping corner, Gu Yusheng, the driver of the Pioneer Group 1, introduced: "Virgin, it hasn't rained in the past two days, and there are not many tons of cargo on the car, so it is relatively easy to walk. If it happens to be rainy season,  The road is steep and slippery, and it is loaded with munitions. If you are not careful, the wheels will slip. If it slips, the car will be destroyed and people will die! Landslides are common in this area, so we must cooperate with the road protection team to eliminate one danger after another. Sometimes we can only  Hiding in the cab and starving, we waited until the weather cleared before we could set out 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, Master Chen asked thoughtfully: "Master Gu, how did you, the drivers and mechanics, handle the situation from returning home to arranging work?"  organizational?"

    Gu Yusheng held the steering wheel tightly and stared ahead intently, "Actually, there are more than a dozen batches of us, returning from Vietnam and Myanmar respectively. Everyone had a 'security guarantee' before we came, and then received two months of military training.  They were organized into four brigades: 11, 12, 13, and 14. The mechanics were mixed into five brigades: 1, 3, 5, 9, and 15. In addition to being assigned to serve in each brigade, there were also some  Mechanics were assigned to work as repairmen in overhaul factories in Mangshi, Xiaguan, Baoshan, Kunming, Guiyang and Chongqing.¡±

    Considering that he was about to form a team, Master Chen then asked: "Where is the team? Tell me about the situation of the team."

    "The fleet is organized according to the 'three-three system'. Five to seven vehicles form a class, and each vehicle has a driver. The squad leader has no car and controls the operation of the entire class's vehicles, and can replace those on sick leave at any time. Three classes form a detachment, and three classes form a detachment.  Each detachment is a squadron, and the four squadrons are a squadron. Each brigade has about 190 vehicles, and is also equipped with a number of vehicle attendants, technicians, general affairs, accountants, cashiers, political trainers, and escort guards.  Group actions are not allowed, and individuals are not allowed to drive alone.¡±

    The transportation department¡¯s arrangement is reasonable, but in Young Master Chen¡¯s opinion, it is far from enough.

    When he was in college before his rebirth, he worked a summer job in a courier company 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 transportation system of teams, factories, warehouses, and stations. If this system can be integrated again, the transportation efficiency should be doubled on the existing basis.  Ichiban.

    For various transportation agencies, integration means rectification, which will definitely affect their vital interests.  Thinking that even Chairman Chiang was helpless, Master Chen realized that he had to do all kinds of work before he could safely transport tens of thousands of Nanyang expatriates back to China.

    Just when he was thinking hard about how to get the big guys from various hills and factions to cooperate with him, Xie Wenshan, who was sitting in the carriage, knocked on the window and said, "Sir, Manager Yang is calling urgently. Please confirm the place for supplementary training as soon as possible."  All kinds of weapons and equipment needed.¡±

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

    Zhang Yanyuan looked sideways at the list of weapons to be purchased in Liang Weihua's hand, and sighed with emotion: "I can actually get the weapons and equipment of two reorganizers, Virgo, it's not easy for your Nanyang elders!"

    Smuggling arms is one of the important sources of income for the five major companies in Penang. Master Chen was too lazy to talk to him. While taking the list, he said nonchalantly: "Everyone has his own way. Besides, the environment in Nanyang is not much better than in China.  As long as you have money, there is nothing you can¡¯t get.¡±

    Before departure, Master Chen divided the labor.  The old man Chen Hongzhen is responsible for dealing with various overseas Chinese relief organizations and big bosses in Chongqing and Yunnan. Young Master Chen is responsible for transportation wholeheartedly, while Liang Weihua, Zhang Xiaoguo and others who are still on the road are responsible for the work of the 28th Supplementary Training Office.

    The old cannot go and the new cannot come. Thinking that more than 20,000 carefully selected Nanyang disciples are about to return to China, Liang Weihua, the deputy director of the major general, was very excited. He pointed to the list and said: "According to your opinion, what Manager Yang has listed  Almost all British equipment, revolvers, Enfi.There are German Type 4 rifles, Brown light machine guns and Vickers Mark 1 heavy machine guns everything, and even M36 grenades and flamethrowers.  "

    Young Master Chen glanced at it, turned around and asked, "Where was it produced? It's not just a bunch of obsolete goods."

    Xie Wenshan was stunned and quickly replied: "Reporting to the office, there are three sources of weapons. One is the inventory of the Dutch and Indian Army. Manager Yang said that almost all of them are new and the quotations are relatively reasonable; the other is the private inventory of the British Army.  There are many kinds of goods, the price is slightly higher, but the quantity is limited and can only be used as a supplement; and the direct purchase from the Australian military factory in Melbourne, the quantity and quality are guaranteed, and it can also be shipped to Yangon by sea. Since there are also orders from the UK,  The quoted price is nearly 40% higher than before the war.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shangwen, who had been closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes, "If you include the tariffs and 'Longyun Tax' imposed by the British and Burmese authorities, the price of direct purchase from the Melbourne Military Factory is almost double that before the war.  ¡±

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? How can the price not be increased?  Young Master Chen pondered for a moment and asked softly: "How about compared to the Munitions Department?"

    "Except for artillery and the required shells, the ** rarely purchases British equipment, and there is no transaction price to refer to. However, compared to similar German and American equipment, the price is quite reasonable, and there is no big mouth."

    Young Master Chen weighed it up and said resolutely: "Then eat all the warehouses of the Dutch and Indian Army, and purchase the rest directly from Melbourne. The Dutch and Indian Army must move quickly, and strive to install it at the end of this month or early next month.  A boat saves you from long nights and many dreams.¡±

    "yes."

    ??

    With gangs and societies from Malaya and the Dutch East Indies joining one after another, the "Federation of Malayan Societies" has become an unofficial tax collection agency. For them, one to two million is only a matter of two to three months.  .

    Instead of being corrupted and squandered by the big and small bureaucrats of the National Government, it is better to put yourself to practical use. Young Master Chen and Liang Weihua looked at each other and said expressionlessly: "Since money is not an issue, then purchase according to the standards of the search team."  ¡±

    Liang Weihua was overjoyed. He grabbed a pen and paper and counted while saying to himself: "Twenty-four thousand revolvers, twenty thousand Enfield rifles, one thousand eight hundred and fifty Brown light machine guns, Lan  There are 3,500 Chester submachine guns, 800 Vickers heavy machine guns, 300 sets of flamethrowers and anti-tank rocket launchers, and bullets and grenades are allocated according to ten combat bases"

    Chen Shangwen took the list he made, calculated it based on the quotations on the to-be-purchased list, raised his head and said with a smile: "Virgin, including the communication equipment, telescopes, military uniforms, medicines, and the ones that were customized in the Philippines just confirmed the day before yesterday.  The helmets, shovels and sabers cost the Association of Societies at least 8.3 million yuan, not counting freight, customs duties and dragon cloud tax."

    "You are really wealthy. You spend so much money to equip 20,000 people, but you don't even have a single artillery piece!"

    Zhang Yanyuan was shocked and was about to say something when Young Master Chen smiled nonchalantly and said: "The freight must be paid, but the customs duties and Longyun tax should be waived if possible."

    Chen Baohua, who had remained silent, was confused and couldn't help asking: "How to avoid it?"

    "There are more than 30 overseas Chinese in Myanmar. Please help them and hire more fishing boats to transport them. Wouldn't the tariff be exempted? The Longyun tax is even more out of the question. The top priority is to ensure transportation, so the officers and soldiers of the Compensatory Training Department stay here  Branches in Myanmar are more suitable.¡±

    If the person doesn¡¯t return to the country, the weapons will naturally not need to be returned to the country, let alone be plucked by Yunnan Wang Yan.

    Only then did Chen Baohua come to his senses. Before he could speak, Zhang Yanyuan said eagerly: "The target of more than 20,000 Nanyang people is so big. Can the British agree? Southwest transportation is related to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War. This must not be used to give others a handle.  Sir, this matter is very important, you must think twice before you act!¡±

    Young Master Chen¡¯s face straightened, and he said without any doubt: ¡°Team Leader Zhang, I have my own reasons for this arrangement, and I will also report to the committee and the Military Commission for instructions, so you don¡¯t need to worry about this.¡±

    How could Zhang Yanyuan watch helplessly as he packed 20,000 troops into various branches in Myanmar?  Of course there is no problem at the branches along the line, but the troops are still troops, right? If the British really find out, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "Then be careful."

    Young 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 provide help, I don't think it's possible to find a few camps in the deep mountains and old forests on both sides of the line.  It¡¯s a problem. Besides, there are problems when entering Myanmar.There are several routes, including Thailand, Yangon and even India. If you don¡¯t tell me or I don¡¯t tell you, who would have known that there would be 20,000 more overseas Chinese?  "

    Although Mr. Chen was very considerate, Zhang Yanyuan still said coldly: "The committee will not agree."

    Chen Shangwen was amused. He pointed at the map on the ammunition box and said with a smile: "The Virgin's request for instructions and report is a sign of 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 anything beyond the national borders."  thing."

    "You are making your own decisions!"

    "We support the war of resistance."

    Young Master Chen stared into his eyes and said sternly: "Team Leader Zhang, don't use the domestic methods to judge us, and don't think that the Southwest Transportation Department is the unilateral authority of the military. I have a message for you, Boss Dai, if you are willing to  If you cooperate with me, the amount of military supplies shipped into the country via the Burma Road will be doubled next month. You, Zhang Yanyuan, are still the leader of the security inspection team. If you don't want to cooperate, don't start a new business with my surname Chen! "
