Life in the world of film and television

Chapter 414 Administrative Commissioner
After the combat order was issued, nearly 3000 people marched out one after another the next day to carry out the work of eliminating bandits in the Nanyang area.

The original German weapons are no worse than the principal's direct ace. With such powerful firepower to suppress bandits, any bandits who dare to fight head-on will be pushed across the way under the powerful firepower.

Many bandits were stunned and terrified by such powerful firepower for a while.You can only play your true nature as a bandit, run away with your head in your arms, and flee to the village. After all, the village has certain defensive capabilities.

It's not that these bandits have never been wiped out by the army. As long as they return to the village and rely on the village, the army will generally be unable to fight them. After a while, they will naturally withdraw.

However, they were wrong. The firepower of the security regiment was not comparable to those of the miscellaneous troops.

The so-called stockade can block bullets and some old earthen guns, maybe it's okay.A row of 2mm caliber mortars, within one to two minutes, dozens of hundreds of shells hit the so-called cottage vulnerable.

Faced with such fierce firepower, the bandits had no discipline. They were either killed or stalked by rats.

Many bandits had to sneak into uninhabited big ravines to avoid pursuit.

In just over a week, the four biggest gangs of bandits and cottages in Nanyang were completely wiped out. Apart from some of the captives, some also fled into the deep mountains.

This method is much easier to use than hiding in a cottage. It is not easy to march in the mountains, and it is even more difficult to completely wipe out them.

Li Mu didn't force it, turned his gun and aimed at the small and medium bandit dens under the four major bandit dens. The five battalions drew up an area respectively, enclosing the Nanyang area, and started the vigorous suppression work again.

The army is busy, and Li Mu is not idle. Recently, under the protection of the guard company, Tao Cheng, the general manager of the construction factory, and a group of architects, accompanied Li Mu to various places in Nanyang to inspect and select sites.

Now that the sphere of influence has covered the entire Nanyang, this fertile land of nearly [-] square kilometers is no longer the previous few counties.Naturally, all kinds of planning and construction should be carried out with the whole Nanyang as the blueprint.

Considering the future war, many buildings that could not find a suitable place at first gradually found a place as the site grew larger.

For example, the school building, in addition to the school building currently under construction, has found a larger and more suitable place for building a school building.

Not only the school buildings, but also all kinds of buildings that need to be hidden and prevent the spread of war have also found many suitable places for construction.

In the future, Li Mu is bound to build many factories.Relying on imports alone is not a long-term solution.Otherwise, after a fight broke out in Europe, it would be difficult to buy a lot of arms.

These all need to be prepared now, at least some infrastructure should be built first.

Soon, a construction plan was planned with Nanyang as the blueprint, including roads, factories, various infrastructures, and various civilian and military buildings.

Li Mu is not short of money, and the Nanyang area has abundant human resources, plus there are still many people who have fled, so there are high-quality labor everywhere.

Ever since, the battle was raging ahead, but Nanyang was full of vitality, as if it had become a huge construction site.

The people at the bottom have jobs, have income, and consume more. The commodity market in Nanyang has flourished in a rare way.

On this day, Li Mu was inspecting the construction progress of the school building, and Liu Peiming came to report.

"Tuan Zuo, a few people have come from the north recently and want to get in touch with us."

Li Mu said: "North!"

Liu Peiming said: "That's right! What's your attitude, group seat?"

Li Mudao: "What is your attitude? Now we are unanimous to the outside world, don't think so much. By the way, is there anything wrong with them?"

Liu Peiminghui reported: "I heard that we have channels to get foreign medicines, hardware tools and steel products. They want to purchase some privately."

Li Mu nodded: "Okay, then give a discounted price, and don't make any money from them. I heard that the economy there is very difficult, and it's not easy."

As Liu Peiming left, Li Mu fell into deep thought.The various materials he purchased from overseas were not only sold from Wuhan, but also began to be sold in Nanyang.

For this kind of material which is extremely in short supply in the country, it is scarce everywhere, especially in the northwest region, where there is even less purchase channel.

Many merchants from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Xikang, and even in the northwest, have come here to get goods.

In particular, the goods he purchased from overseas include many hardware tools, small general-purpose machinery, and special steel, which can be used as tools and materials for making weapons.

As for the situation in the north, he had read the information and learned a little bit about it.To be honest, it was a miserable time at this time. It was just an army establishment, and the army was less than [-].Not only are they lacking in financial resources, they are dry, and their weapons are not good enough. Many people are still using spears and big knives.

Even if there are firearms, they are appalling. They can be called all countries, such as Hanyang, Feng, Guang, Gongxian, De, Sichuan, Tu, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Japan, Hubei, Jin, etc. Made in Russia, etc., can be found here.

Among such a large number of firearms, some rifles are too old, and the rifling lines are almost worn out; some are so damaged that they can only be shot barely;

Just like when they advanced to the front line in North China, when they encountered the retreating national army, the general question they encountered was: With you "burning sticks", can you still fight against the planes and cannons of the little devils?

Of course, even so, a gun is better than no gun!
However, it's not just a problem with guns, ammunition is even more scarce. When more than 129 people from the 1th Division went to the front line, the entire division had only 10 rounds of ammunition.The average number of rounds per person is less than ten rounds. This amount of ammunition will be gone in a small-scale battle.

Putting Li Mu here, his reinforced regiment would consume more than this amount in a month of training.

It can also be seen from this that the situation over there is really bad, lacking guns, ammunition, and supplies.

But on the other hand, while supplies are scarce, the combat power over there is extremely strong. After [-] miles of training, its will is as strong as the Iron Army.

All the armies in the world count as one, and with the same equipment, you can't find an opponent with a telescope.

The biggest shortcoming in the north is the lack of resources, money, and equipment. After all, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice, which is also the biggest factor limiting their combat effectiveness.

However, there should be a small arsenal over there now. Although the scale is small, there is a lack of equipment, raw materials, and technology, and the quality of the things produced is not very good.However, some weapons and ammunition can be produced at last, and the consumption of small-scale supplementary troops can be supplemented.

This time they came to purchase hardware tools, small general-purpose equipment, and steel, and it was also for this reason.

However, with their financial resources, they should not be able to purchase much.

Li Mu thought of his mission, he would definitely not be able to rely on himself alone, to unite more people, it is necessary to form a good relationship first.

Thinking of this, Li Mu called the guards to call Liu Peiming over.

Liu Peiming saluted: "Tuan Zuo, you are looking for me."

Li Mu said, "Have you seen it?"

Liu Peiming said, "Not yet."

Li Mu said: "I heard that they played well in Pingxingguan."

Liu Peiming said: "That's right! Tuan Zuo, I heard that an ambush was launched, and more than 1000 devils were wiped out. It was the first victory since the War of Resistance, and it was reported in the newspapers."

Li Mu said: "It is said that their equipment is not very good?"

Liu Peiming said: "I heard that they are all old guns, there are all kinds of guns, and there are very few bullets, so they are reluctant to use them. There are still many people who don't even have guns, and still use big knives and spears."

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "How many guns did we replace last time, and what did we pay for this bandit suppression?"

Liu Peiming said: "Adding one piece will cost more than 2000 strokes!"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "They did a good job at Pingxingguan. I gave them all these guns, and I also gave them an additional 30 rounds of ammunition."

Liu Peiming was taken aback: "Tuan Zuo, send them off?"

Li Mu said: "We have a lot of German weapons in our hands. What's the use of keeping these guns in our hands? Since the north can fight devils, let's give them. It's a waste to keep them in our hands."

Liu Peiming saluted: "Yes, Tuan Zuo!" He turned around and went to handle the matter.

Half an hour later, Liu Peiming ran over again.

"Tuan Zuo, that Representative Fang wants to see you, do you want to meet?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Let's see each other!"

After a simple meeting, Representative Fang was extremely enthusiastic, especially the more than 2000 guns and 30 rounds of bullets that were presented as a gift, which knocked him unconscious.I even suspected that I was dreaming, and my mind was dizzy.

Not to mention how many people can put down their spears and swords with these more than 2000 guns, the 30 rounds of bullets can also give a little confidence to the ammunition reserves in the base area. They are really short of ammunition.

For example, bullets, after the war, they have to put away the shell casings, take back the military equipment and refill them. Although the quality of the canned bullets is not good, they often fail to fire.

But, after all, it is also a bullet, so cherish it very much.

A bullet, they can refill it many times until it can no longer be used as a bullet, and then it will be fused to make other weapons, and there is no waste at all.

With this level of equipment, there is no source of ammunition. They rely on war to support war, and rely on capture to miraculously develop and grow their troops.

This kind of will and strong survival ability have also forged their tenacious combat effectiveness.

After the meeting, Li Mu told Liu Peiming again: "You make another trip and go to the warehouse to get [-] Browning pistols and [-] rounds of pistol bullets. Let Representative Fang take them back. It's a meeting gift."

Liu Peiming saluted: "Okay, group seat, I'll do it right away."

Sending off the guests in the north, thinking about the increasingly complicated situation in the future, you can't keep your eyes open, and you must have your own intelligence agency.

After thinking for a long time, Li Mu called Liu Peiming to come over: "Peiming, do you want to change jobs?"

Liu Peiming was taken aback: "Change your job? Tuan Zuo, I just want to run an errand for you, you won't drive me away, will you?"

Li Mu kicked him: "Speak well."

Liu Peiming raised his head and held his chest out and said, "Tuan Zuo, please give me instructions."

Li Mudao: "I plan to set up an intelligence department, relying on the financial resources, manpower and channels of Nanyang and Muwu Commercial Bank to establish an independent intelligence organization."

"You, can you take on this important task?"

Liu Peiming looked serious, and said excitedly: "Tuan Zuo, I...I can."

Li Mudao: "Don't get too excited, it's not that easy to build an effective intelligence organization. I'll teach you some methods later, and then send some knowledgeable people to assist you. You all work together to set up the airs as soon as possible."

Liu Peiming saluted and said, "Yes, group seat!"

Then he asked: "Tuan Zuo, the intelligence organization has a prestigious title, what's our name?"

Li Mu glared at him and said, "Just call the Military Intelligence Department."

Liu Peiming stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, group seat!"

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the Battle of Songhu had ended for a month.On this day, Li Mu had just participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the field hospital, and was about to rush to the school building to check the progress of the project.

Liu Peiming walked over with a serious face.

"Group seat!"

Li Mu said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Peiming said solemnly, "Jinling has fallen!"

Hearing the news, Li Mu was silent for a long time and sighed.Although he has a certain foundation and strength at this time, it is not enough to change the overall situation.

Some things, even if you know it, you can't stop it.

"Is there any specific situation?"

Liu Peiming said: "Jinling's intelligence channel has just been established, and it fell there. It can only be said that it is very chaotic, and the army is completely defeated."

Li Mu nodded: "What else is going on?"

Liu Peiming said: "The news from the Muwu Trading Company, the relationship we had last time contacted them, saying that this time they only need 40 French currency, and the position of the administrative office commissioner can help us get it."

Li Mu snorted: "40 French currency. The last time I said it was 50 French currency. I also said it depends on luck, and it may not work."

"This time, why are you so sure?"

Liu Peiming said: "Probably the situation is different. Jinling has been lost, and the gold content of some positions has naturally dropped. When these places are lost again, none of them will be sold."

Li Mu thinks about Guo Party's consistent style, selling officials to sell titles, in fact, there is nothing unusual, if there are no such people, how can the Nanyang area fall into his hands.

With a long sigh, he said, "Go back to them. If you want it, it's only 40 French currency. For us, this name is much more expensive than 40 gold."

After finishing speaking, he ordered: "Pei Ming, you have to speed up the establishment of the intelligence network. The situation in the future may get worse and worse. When some places fall, you can build intelligence from these places." network, it will be more difficult.”

Liu Peiming stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Mr. Tuan, our intelligence has already covered the surrounding provinces. In at most three months, we will be able to build an intelligence network covering the whole country, including the enemy-occupied areas."

Li Mu nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

……

The person who collected the money was honest and efficient, and within a few days, the appointment came down.

Now, it is considered to be completely stable, and the administrative and military forces have grasped it. No matter in name or in reality, the whole place has completely fallen under his control.

Next, you can finally develop and absorb talents as you like.
