Jiang Xiaomei, Gao Hong, Chen Johan and others had already received a telegram from Gao Jiu in advance. In order to keep it confidential, they did not go to the airport to greet him. They sent some freight trucks to pull Gao Jiu and others back, as well as machinery and equipment.

In order to keep it secret, Gao Jiu did not wear a suit and wore a work suit worn by ordinary workers. They entered Zhiyuan County and did not go to the courtyard where the military sub-district was located, but went to a relatively remote courtyard arranged for them.

Jiang Xiaomei and others had already been waiting in the yard, and she was not wearing military uniforms. She was wearing ordinary women's clothes and looked like a middle school teacher.

At this time, it was cold outside, but Jiang Xiaomei felt a hot heart. She was waiting in the yard, looking forward to Gao Jiu's arrival.

Not long after, several freight trucks drove over. After the freight truck entered the yard, Gao Jiu walked out of the third car. Although Gao Jiu was wearing work clothes, Jiang Xiaomei could recognize him at a glance. She didn't care about Gao Hong, Chen John, Yang Jiong and others looking at him, ran over and threw herself into Gao Jiu's arms.

"Brother Jiu." She screamed excitedly, and her eyes turned red. Gao Jiu hugged Jiang Xiaomei without hesitation and kissed her directly.

Jiang Xiaomei, Gao Hong, Chen Johan and others secretly held a welcome banquet for Gao Jiu and others. Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was very warm. However, everyone could understand the mood of Jiang Xiaomei and Gao Jiu. After a brief greeting, everyone said goodbye and left.

After a while of intimacy, Jiang Xiaomei leaned against Gao Jiu's wide chest and continued to tell her longing for her.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaomei conveyed the decision of the Shandong underground party superior organization and discussed with Gao Jiu about the construction of Shandong underground party arsenal in the Zhiyuan County area.

Then Gao Jiu and Jiang Xiaomei met with Gao Hong, Chen John, and others, the leaders of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district. Gao Jiu expressed his firm support for the construction of the arsenal. No matter what the arsenal needs, they will cooperate with them.

Chen John also made a speech on behalf of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district. He said: "The Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district has the protection of the iron triangle, and the situation of the anti-Japanese struggle is relatively stable. In the future, supporting the arsenal will be the most important task of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district. On behalf of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district, I told the Shandong Underground Party Military Industry Department that I would like to ensure full support for the construction and security of the arsenal."

Gao Hong and other leaders of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district also expressed their attitude of supporting the construction of the arsenal ranch.

After Jiang Xiaomei no longer served as the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district, after her and Yang Jiong's recommendation, Jiang Shuigen took over her position as brigade commander. He said that he would personally lead the main force of the Independent Regiment, undertake the work of defending the arsenal, and undertake the infrastructure task of building the arsenal.

Gao Jiu and others analyzed the comprehensive situation of the terrain, electricity, water sources, road traffic in Zhiyuan County in detail, selected two relatively suitable locations, and conducted on-site inspections respectively.

After a few days of investigation, Gao Jiu and others chose a valley northwest of Zhiyuan County. It is less than 1km away from the Daqing River. The tributaries of the Daqing River pass by here, making it very convenient to get water. The valley is relatively wide and there is enough site to build a factory. The vegetation on the mountains here is dense, which can provide concealment for the arsenal to a certain extent.

The exit of the valley is less than two kilometers away from the road from Zhiyuan County to Hanbaidu. Just build a very short road to solve the traffic problem.

After comprehensive investigations from all aspects, we finally chose this place as the site of the future arsenal. After the site was selected, Gao Jiu and others began to study the construction of the arsenal organization structure. Jiang Xiaomei brought 12 engineering and technical and management personnel assigned by the Shandong underground party, and Gao Jiu brought 45 engineering and technical and management personnel.

These people formed the leadership and management organization of the future arsenal, and they will be responsible for the construction and production and operation of the arsenal. The people brought by Gao Jiu only helped Jiang Xiaomei build the arsenal and helped them so that they could carry out production and operation normally, and they would still return to the Golden Triangle in the future.

In order to make Jiang Xiaomei familiar with the entire construction, production and operation process of the arsenal, Gao Jiu suggested that Jiang Xiaomei act as the director of the arsenal temporarily.

After the organizational structure of the arsenal was improved, Gao Jiu suggested that the design and production capacity of the arsenal should be designed based on the current weapons and equipment level of the underground party.

The planned construction scale of the arsenal in the early stage should be able to produce 1,000 small artillery pieces, 800,000 small shells, 200,000 rifles, and 25 million bullets. As for other military products, they will be expanded later based on the situation of war development and the production and operation of the arsenal.

After a week of preparation, Gao Jiu brought engineering and technical personnel to draw the infrastructure drawings of the arsenal plant area.

The Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district strongly supported the construction of the arsenal and sent soldiers from two regiments of the Independent Brigade to undertake the infrastructure construction and defense of the arsenal.

After the construction of the arsenal began to enter the track, Gao Jiu felt relieved and began to contact all parties for the subsequent supply of raw materials for the arsenal.

Gao Jiu contacted the 41st Army stationed in Nanyang, the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas stationed in Taohua Mountain, the Southeast Shandong Military Sub-district, the 93rd Division of the Northeast Army stationed in Kaifeng, the 228th Division of the Northwest Army and other units, and asked them to collect the raw materials needed by the arsenal, provide them to the arsenal, and transport them to Zhiyuan County.

He also made plans and contacted old Japanese friends when necessary to provide them with relevant machinery, equipment, raw materials, etc.

Of course, these units provide various materials to the arsenals without charge. The arsenals will purchase them at the corresponding market price to achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation for everyone.

Jiang Xiaomei is basically an amateur when it comes to the construction of the arsenal, and she relies on Gao Jiu in everything.

Gao Jiu has always responded to Jiang Xiaomei's request. This time Gao Jiu came to southwest Shandong, not only brought engineering and technical personnel from the arsenal, machine tools and other equipment, but also brought 300,000 oceans, 50,000 meters of gold and 1 million yuan deposit coupons.

These days, he has been by Jiang Xiaomei's side. No matter what difficulties the arsenal encounters, Gao Jiu will try his best to help them solve them.

Jiang Xiaomei reported the progress of the preparations to the Shandong underground party organization. A person in charge of the underground party said happily: "It seems that we have chosen the right person. With Jiang Xiaomei alone, it is equivalent to owning a large-scale arsenal. In the future, the equipment of the underground party armed forces will be greatly improved and the strength of the troops will be greatly improved. I suggest that Comrade Jiang Xiaomei be awarded a great contribution once."

The first major problem encountered by the arsenal is the lack of electricity. Gaojiu plans to build a small thermal power plant. However, it is very difficult to build a thermal power plant and cannot be achieved overnight.

Therefore, the first problem that the arsenal needs to solve is to purchase a certain number of generators. However, generators are not produced in the Nanyang area and need to be purchased from other places. Whether purchased or transported, they must be passed through areas controlled by the Japanese. These generators are strategic materials strictly controlled by the Japanese, and it is very difficult to obtain generators. Of course, this is not difficult for Gao Jiu.

That morning, Akiyama, the commander of the 15th Japanese Brigade stationed in Tai'an, received a telegram from Gao Jiu, who asked him to help purchase six generators and 400 tons of cement from Tai'an.

Qiushan hasn't contacted Gao Jiu for a long time, and he was in a very conflicted mood. Although he knew that Gao Jiu had gone to the south and his pressure was much less, sometimes he missed Gao Jiu a little because, in addition to having conflicts with the 15th Brigade at the beginning, Gao Jiu never had trouble with the commander of Qiushan Brigade. Not only that, he also did a lot of business with the commander of Qiushan Brigade, which brought him a lot of income.

This time Gao Jiu sent a telegram and was very modest, saying that he would ask him to help buy these supplies. In addition to the funds to buy these supplies, Gao Jiu would also provide the commander of Qiushan brigade for the purchase of these supplies.

The commander of Qiushan Brigade agreed without hesitation. He first bought the batch of supplies with his own money and sent a car to Taoyuan Town. Zhang Quan accepted the batch of supplies on behalf of Gao Jiu.

The person sent by the commander of Qiushan brigade to transport supplies was his adjutant. Zhang Quan paid the payment and gave him a reward of 3,000 oceans. He asked the adjutant to go back and tell the commander of Qiushan brigade to convey Gao Jiu's gratitude to the commander of Qiushan brigade, and agreed that the two sides will maintain long-term cooperation in the future, mutual benefit and make a fortune together.

Chen Zhiyong, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Southeast Shandong Military Sub-district, used to fight copper mines with Gao Jiu. Several years have passed. Now Chen Zhiyong has become the commander of the Southeast Shandong Military Sub-district. He has not seen Gao Jiu for a long time and misses him very much. He heard that Gao Jiu has arrived in southwestern Shandong, so he was very happy and immediately organized troops to rob the Japanese copper mines again.

He personally escorted the 50 tons of copper he robbed to Zhiyuan County in southwestern Shandong to meet Gao Jiu.

The old friends were happy when they met. Gao Jiu warmly invited Chen Zhiyong and took him to visit the arsenal under construction.

Chen Zhiyong said that he would fully support Jiang Xiaomei's work in the future and send the raw materials needed by the arsenal to continuously deliver over.

The 41st Army of the guo Army, the 93rd Division of the Northeast Army, and the 228th Division of the Northwest Army also delivered various materials needed to the arsenal.

The factory has been built and is a new growth point for the surrounding forces, and everyone is very happy about it.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Gao Jiu came to Nanyang accidentally reached Gong Deli, deputy director of the Military Control Commission Nanyang Station.

When the Military Control Commission Nanyang Station was established, Gong Deli was originally qualified to compete for the webmaster. Later, after Gao Jiu's recommendation, Zhou Mingshan was appointed as the webmaster of the Military Control Commission Nanyang Station. He was resentful about this and kept looking for opportunities to exclude Zhou Mingshan.

After he got the news, he secretly stumbled and learned that the Military Command headquarters had not received a report. He believed that this was a good opportunity to exclude Zhou Mingshan.

Therefore, he sent a secret telegram to his former boss, Director Li of the Military Intelligence Department, saying that Gao Jiu secretly came to southwest Shandong to help the underground party build an arsenal. He accused Zhou Mingshan of knowing that the boss of the Military Intelligence Department would be very angry after receiving this news, and believed that Zhou Mingshan intended to conceal the information, so he would punish Zhou Mingshan.

You should know that it is a serious crime to not report it within the Military Control Commission. The boss especially hates those who conceal him. Gong Deli believes that Zhou Mingshan will definitely be in trouble this time. After sending the telegram, he was secretly proud and waited to see Zhou Mingshan being punished by the Military Control Commission headquarters so that he could take over the position of the stationmaster of the Nanyang Station of the Military Control Commission of Zhou Mingshan.

Director Li of the Military Intelligence Department felt a little headache after receiving the telegram. He was good friends with Gao Jiu and had a good relationship with Zhou Mingshan. He wanted to cover Zhou Mingshan, but he knew the boss's temper and dared not hide it.

He thought about it over and over again, and reported to the boss. After reporting, he tried his best to excuse Zhou Mingshan. He said, "Judge, you also know the relationship between Brother Gao and Webmaster Zhou. They are brothers who live and die. I believe that he must not have concealed you intentionally. If he violates the discipline of the Military Control Commission, please let the boss be able to open his mouth to him." After saying that, he looked at the boss anxiously, for fear that the boss would take his anger on Zhou Mingshan.

Unexpectedly, the boss said, "I understand your feelings. Don't worry, I will not punish Zhou Mingshan. Brother Gao is not only Zhou Mingshan's brother, but also my brother. Zhou Mingshan did the right thing. He did not report this matter to the Military Control Commission. In fact, it is to solve the problem for us. Not only should I not punish Zhou Mingshan, but I should reward him instead."

Director Li of the Intelligence Department did not expect such a result. He was very happy. After expressing his gratitude to the boss, he said goodbye and left.

After coming out, he still couldn't understand what the boss said. After thinking about it, he came to Wang Xilin, the director of the APPO Department, and told Wang Xilin about this matter and asked him to help analyze what the boss meant.

After hearing this, Wang Xilin laughed and said, "You! Bai has been with the boss for so many years. Don't you understand his feelings? Who is Brother Gao? Not only are he a life-and-death brother with us, but he is also a life-and-death brother who is not exchanged in the mind of the boss. Not to mention anything else, Brother Gao has made countless contributions to the Military Control Commission. Even the wife of the bureau, Miss He, was rescued by Brother Gao from the Japanese.

Think about it, will the boss do something that is unfavorable to Brother Gao? Zhou Mingshan and Brother Gao have been through life and death for many years. Zhou Mingshan concealed it and did not report it to the headquarters. In fact, this is to solve the problem for the headquarters. Otherwise, if he reported this information to the headquarters, it would make the boss embarrassed.

If the big boss doesn’t report to Shangfeng, it is disloyal to Shangfeng. If it reports, it is a disloyal to Brother Gao, and the big boss will be embarrassed no matter what he does. Zhou Mingshan doesn’t report, and the big boss is so happy that he doesn’t know. Isn’t this a good thing?"

Director Li understood and smiled and said, "I understand. It turns out that Zhou Mingshan is a real smart person, but this matter is to meet Brother Gao. If anyone had dared to deceive the boss, what awaited him would be the most severe family law dealt with by the Military Commission."

Wang Xilin smiled and said, "Zhou Mingshan will not be dealt with in this matter, but the person who made a report behind the scenes is probably in trouble."

Hearing this, Director Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed because Gong Deli was his subordinate. When he made a small report, Gong Deli also reported the information directly to him. If this matter is not handled properly, not only will Gong Deli be unlucky, but he may also be implicated.

He asked worriedly: "Brother Xilin, what should I do about this?"

Wang Xilin said: "You are so smart and confused for a while. The boss told you his thoughts in front of you. Don't you know what to do?"

Director Li suddenly understood and said, "It turns out that the boss has left me a chance to settle this matter by myself."

Wang Xilin smiled and said, "Since you understand, don't you know what to do?"

Director Li nodded and said, "I know what to do, I'll go now."

Not long after, Gong Deli received a telegram from Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters, asking him to go to Chongqing secretly to solve Zhou Mingshan's affairs, and hinted that after he was dealt with, Zhou Mingshan would definitely be punished. He would recommend Gong Deli as the stationmaster of the Military Command Nanyang Station.
