Chapter 155 New Uses of Fortress

The reason why Meng Xiang dared to speak out was that it was related to the fact that Miyi and Miyi appeared in Wuhan and Shanghai and received many orders. Seeing that the Pioneer Army's business was so hot, and the Pioneer Army did withstand the early attack of the Japanese. As soon as the news of the Japanese going south came, HSBC Bank's mouth loosened and immediately lent 600,000 pounds to the Pioneer Army. The huge sum of money was settled in fiat currency under Meng Xiang's insistence. The borrowed fiat currency, and the exchanged one year later was also fiat currency. This can avoid the losses caused by the depreciation of the fiat currency. If you borrow pounds and repay the fiat currency, HSBC will definitely not do it.

The investment of two sums of money is enough to slow down the people's livelihood operations on the territory for a period of time. It is not very urgent to have mineral support from the base.

"It feels different to have money! Drinking soy sauce is particularly fragrant!" The three of them discussed for the middle of the night, and before they realized it was already light. Meng Xiang politely invited the two of them to have breakfast.

"You have come long ago!" Zhou Bai greeted, and he was naturally very happy that he had income in the financial books.

Seeing Meng Xiang, he said happily: "General is really a believer! The primary school you mentioned has been built in Jinan. Let's take a look!"

Some sleepy pharmacist Tang also became energetic, and the four of them hurriedly ate and went to check it out before eating.

Because considering the dangers of the battlefield, the primary school was built in the east of the city. When building the fortresses at that time, Meng Xiang considered that it was particularly troublesome to clean up these forts after the war, so he chose part of them and directly transformed the shape so that they had some functions of using.

This is the primary school in front of you. Three huge scattered fortresses that are very close to become the first multi-functional primary school. Because considering the needs of war, the school was only completed, and the exposed gray concrete structure was half a meter thick.

Each fortress has three floors, and it is very spacious after being renovated. However, considering the function of the fortress, the windows are blocked.

"In the future, all of this place can be opened and the structure can be borne by the retained wide concrete wall columns, so that wide windows can be installed!" Xu Yuming explained while outlining the future of these buildings in his mind. After graduating from Harvard Construction Engineering in the United States, he got a master's degree, and he ran back with his brother. After listening to the song "Defending the Yellow River", he and his brother ran to Jinan together despite the opposition from their families.

When he heard that he was engaged in construction, Meng Xiang directly handed over the primary school project under construction to him for management. Meng Xiang's initial concept was also more perfectly repaired in his hands.

"The stairs here are very narrow, with holes left beside them, which can be widened at that time. The walls there are also reserved, and they can be opened at that time. High-altitude channels connecting three very close fortresses are set up to communicate back and forth." He explained along the way that the idea of ​​turning the fortress into a school is very good. Unfortunately, during the war, war was the main focus. After the structure was changed, the fortress's ability to withstand shell attacks would be weakened. Therefore, only a few 12 fortresses were included in these renovation projects.

"A fortress can be divided into three large classrooms on each floor, so a fortress has nine classrooms. Apart from the need to consider the teacher's office space and other facilities such as libraries, activity rooms, etc., according to the division between primary and secondary schools, the three fortresses can use at least two classes at each level. Each class is more than enough to accommodate 40 people, so a primary school can recruit nearly 500 students." Xu Yuming kept explaining,

"This is the first one to be completed. On this basis, some modifications have been made to facilitate future functions! Three more schools will be built in the future!"

"Okay!" Zhou Bai said excitedly. As long as the school building problem is solved, teachers are not a problem. Now there are a large number of young students idle, and they have no problem as temporary teachers.

"Yes, at least you don't have to worry about earthquake resistance and fire protection!" Meng Xiang paid special attention to these two items in later generations.

"A such fortress can carry shells, and even after the structure is transformed, it is rare to have such a good earthquake-resistant structure." Xu Yuming smiled.

"Yes, you can plan first, and you can appropriately expand the construction of several such fortresses. In the future, it can not only be a school, but also a warehouse, an office place, a shop, etc.." Meng Xiang nodded and said to Xu Yuming.

Xu Yuming was overjoyed when he heard this. He was outlining the layout in his heart, and he was recognized by Meng Xiang.

"Thank you General Meng!"

"Why didn't the Japanese on the opposite side move?" After a quick visit, Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask Fan Zhong.

"They are also observing our movements!" Fan Zhong smiled. As long as he has a smart mind, he can find something in the battle.

"This old fox!" Gu Teng Nagae cursed inwardly. His brigade suffered heavy losses in the attack in Jinan. The 69th Regiment lost most of the losses, and the 107th Regiment also stagnated.

At this time, he received a secret order from the division commander Lieutenant General Yamaoka Hirou, and gave up the attack on the vanguard army. As long as they defended and did not let them break the Tsunaura line, the 118th Brigade was about to go south. This secret signal made him smell an unusual smell. In contact with the actions of Isotani Ryosuke, he suddenly realized after thinking for a long time.

The vanguard army is indeed difficult to chew, but Isotani Risuke easily defeated a division of Han Fuju in the south and forced into Tai'an.

"Go and check how much the 10th Division has suffered!" He ordered the staff behind him.

"It's true!" At this time, Ryosuke Isotani was also sneering. He risked being attacked by the vanguard army and drove all the troops of a unit south, and the situation of nothing happened all night made him affirm his judgment.

"The Chinese are good at internal fighting. This is the vanguard army that is going to sit in the Guandi team and the Central Army of China! After several fierce battles, the losses will definitely not be small!" Since the vanguard army almost took the initiative in each battle and could transport the bodies back for proper preservation afterwards, the Japanese could only use the tips in the Central Army to speculate on the losses of the vanguard army.

The war losses reported by the Pioneer Army to the top were 1 to 1, and the others thought it was moisture. At this time, the 5 to 1 battle losses were good. Because the Pioneer Army had good weapons, most of them recognized this data.

"There is always 1 to 2!" Isotani Ryosuke thought silently.

"What? Gong Chu was attacked by the Japanese?" Meng Xiang was shocked when he heard the news. He had reserved his seat for him. Why was he suddenly attacked?

"How is it?" Meng Xiang asked anxiously. Ma Shiba was also seriously injured. This was an urgent call from Ma Siyi who was accompanying him.

"There is no life-threatening yet, but it still needs observation and treatment. I am observing in a foreign hospital in Tai'an!" Shi Er replied.

Meng Xiang sighed and just found a few celebrities, how could he almost end one of them all at once? Did time and space go wrong again?
