"This is the distribution map of mineral resources in the Jincheng area. Take a look."

Jiangdong distributed the drawings he had prepared earlier to the five people in front of him.

The first batch of young students who arrived have been fully integrated into the independent brigade, and Jiangdong is now preparing to arrange jobs and positions for technical workers.

To develop industry, one must first have mineral resources, so he decided to start with the exploration of mineral resources.

However, there are very few professional exploration personnel among this group of workers, less than 20 people.

Jiangdong divided the 20 people into five teams, with professional prospectors as masters and 15 workers as assistance.

"Sir, are you planning to start steelmaking and build an arsenal in Jincheng?" a captain asked in shock.

"Yeah." Jiang Dong was not prepared to hide anything, he said bluntly:

"This war will not only last a day or two, the war will last far longer than you expect. Next, our country will be more difficult, and foreign aid will become less and less. Therefore, we must develop our own industry and do more

To be self-reliant and self-sufficient.”

"Only in this way can we ensure that the war will continue and that our Chinese nation will not perish at the hands of the Three Islands Japanese slaves."

The five captains of the exploration team looked at each other, with shock on their faces. They had never thought of establishing their own industrial base before coming to the city.

"Sir, we are starting from scratch now. To be honest, it will take at least 5 to 8 years to build an industrial foundation from scratch. This time is really too long..." said another captain.

The rest of the people shook their heads slightly, as if they didn't have any hope in Jiangdong's ideas and plans.

"Everyone, starting from scratch is definitely difficult, but the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, right? As long as you take the first step, everything will slowly be established."

Jiang Dong's face was filled with a confident smile,

"Currently, I only ask you to find the veins according to the markings on the drawings. Some of these copper, iron, aluminum, coal and other minerals have been mined, while others are still undiscovered."

"After you find the vein, you need to conduct on-site exploration to estimate the size of the vein and its approximate output."

"This is your current job. As for setting up arsenals, steelmaking and other equipment in the future, I will have my own way to get them."

Hearing this, the faces of the five people showed excitement and doubt. If they can really establish their own industrial system belonging to the independent brigade, they will become veteran-level figures in the future.

But as professionals, they also know how difficult it is to start from scratch, so they still have doubts in their hearts.

What is the most important thing for development? Of course, talent and technology.

Jiang Dong tried to be more patient when dealing with these professionals, and he wanted to mobilize their enthusiasm for work.

"Okay everyone, we'll see what happens next. The most important thing right now is to take the first step."

"You go back and prepare first, then lead the team out tomorrow. I will send a platoon of soldiers to each team to protect your safety. I hope to see your exploration report as soon as possible."

"yes!"

The five people bowed slightly to Jiangdong and walked out with the map in mind.

About 100 people are responsible for exploring mineral resources, and there are hundreds of other skilled workers in Jincheng. Jiangdong also has arrangements for these people.

At present, various factories have not yet been established, and Jiangdong has dispersed the remaining skilled workers to the towns and villages around Jincheng.

These people were tasked with selecting sites for the future factories and beginning the construction of residential areas for factory workers.

For a long time in the future, the Japanese army will have absolute air supremacy. Therefore, he requires that the locations of factories be concealed and dispersed, and a large number of air raid shelters should be built next to factories and residential areas to minimize the risk of future Japanese bombing.

loss.

Since coming to the Independence Brigade, the workers have enjoyed extremely high benefits. They also know that these benefits are not free and they must do something.

Therefore, these people had no resistance when Jiangdong arranged tasks. After all, the family was still waiting for their jobs to support them.

Groups of workers began to leave Jincheng one after another, some going up the mountains and some going to the countryside. The surrounding areas of Jincheng became completely busy.

.

North of Jincheng, Lu'an, Zhongcun Army Headquarters.

The door of the headquarters was closed, and there were three people sitting inside at the moment, two women and one man, all wearing Japanese officer uniforms.

The male military rank is Colonel, and the female military rank is Major and Captain respectively.

"Your Excellency Colonel, the Jiangdong and Wanbei Independent Brigades are the mortal enemies of the Japanese Empire. This force must be eliminated as soon as possible. We cannot allow them to develop in Jincheng." The female Major said in an admonishing tone.

Colonel Nakamura frowned slightly. The two women in front of him were really difficult to deal with.

"Miss Chiba, since you are members of the Special High School, you should know the situation of the independent brigade very well. Koto's men are far superior to ours in terms of military strength, firepower and combat effectiveness. To take the initiative to attack under such circumstances is

court death."

Jiangdong's reputation has spread to the ears of every Japanese commander. Although the little devil is arrogant, he still has basic military common sense.

Ever since the Independence Brigade stationed in Jincheng, Colonel Nakamura has been in fear every day.

The strength of the Independent Brigade was five or six times his, and he was very worried that Jiangdong would lead his troops to attack.

Now let alone taking the initiative to lead troops to attack, as long as he can keep Lu'an alive, it will be a great achievement.

Chiba still had a smile on her face,

"Your Majesty Colonel, our Special High School has received information that Jiangdong is vigorously developing troops in Jincheng. If he is allowed to continue like this, it will become more difficult for the Empire of Japan to completely eliminate it. Even if it cannot be completely wiped out, you can lead the troops there

It's okay to harass him a little so that he can't develop smoothly."

As the first intelligence officer to contact Koto, Chiba was very aware of Koto's abilities, so he persuaded Nakamura to send troops in every possible way.

Nakamura still shook his head. He didn't want to cause a rift in the relationship with the Special Higher Education Course, so he had to take the trouble to explain:

"There is only one road from Lu'an to Jincheng, and there are many Chinese troops, Communist guerrillas, Yan Xishan, and Wei Lihuang's regular Kuomintang troops on the side of this road. Once the imperial army walks out

Lu'an will definitely be attacked by multiple forces. By then, even Lu'an won't be able to protect itself, and I will be the sinner of the imperial army."

"Alas!" Chiba sighed in her heart. Seeing that Nakamura had made up her mind, she temporarily gave up the idea of ​​persuading him to send troops.

"Okay, Colonel, please report the situation of the Independent Brigade to the Taiyuan Military Headquarters. Maybe the General will send you reinforcements."

"Yeah." Nakamura smiled slightly, "I've already done that."

Chiba and the female captain paid a military salute to Colonel Nakamura, then turned and left the room.

The hot breath from Chiba's mouth sprayed on the female captain's face, and the latter's body suddenly reacted.

"What's the lady's plan?" she asked in a trilling voice.

Chiba took a deep breath, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Tomorrow you take that woman to Jincheng, find a way to contact Mole, and wait for my instructions for the next step..."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned the captain's uniform, slowly put her hand in, held the target she was searching for, and moved her fingers gently and rhythmically.

"Hi~~yi~~"

The female captain's breathing gradually became faster, and her body moved forward involuntarily.

.

The next day, two more women appeared in the group of refugees fleeing to Jincheng.

Their hair was unkempt and their clothes were in tatters. They were just like the countless refugees around them, and there was no difference at all.

The good name of the Independence Brigade has spread from Jincheng to a large area in southern Shanxi. Many people who are homeless and have no land to farm rush to Jincheng in admiration, hoping to find a glimmer of hope there.

At the beginning, there were only a few hundred refugees, but as the road expanded, the number of refugees exceeded a thousand and was approaching tens of thousands.

The swarming crowd is like moving ants, slowly but surely heading south, south.

.

.

Jincheng, where the Independent Brigade is stationed.

The art team that went to the countryside has returned. After not seeing each other for a few days, the team members are not only tanned, but also have a calmer look on their faces.

Seeing this, Jiang Dong nodded secretly in his heart. This time, he would personally guide the actors in rehearsal.

As a person decades later, Jiang Dong may not be able to act, but he knows how to appreciate.

Having watched countless TV series and movies, he can still tell the quality of actors' acting skills.

"This is the first act of the entire opera. You must remember that the tone of this first act is beautiful and the characters are honest and innocent."

"As long as we grasp these themes, we can perform this scene well and make it impressive enough."

"How innocent and beautiful you perform the first act, the subsequent suffering and tragedy will have a huge impact on the audience, and the character's rebellious spirit will become stronger, just like a sudden eruption of a volcano, causing the opera to ignite

To the first**.”

After gaining the experience of going to the countryside and rehearsing many times, Huang Huiwen and other actors gradually understood what Jiang Dong meant.

"Remember, if you find that you can't find the feeling of acting, just go for a walk on the street and carefully observe how people from all walks of life talk and walk. You will find inspiration from them."

"Yes, Brigadier!"

The actors gradually grasped the feeling, but they looked at Jiang Dong a little strangely.

'The brigade commander has excellent military qualities and first-class command skills. He can also write poetry and sing. Now he also understands the work of a director. He is really an all-rounder!'
