"Guo Shun?"

Wu Zhan frowned slightly and looked at the telegram in his hand. He had never heard of this name before.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau will determine the authenticity of the intelligence. If you don't come back to report after the mission is completed, why go to Suiyuan?"

Jiang Dong looked at the battle map on the wall with his hands behind his back, while Xie Chengrui also frowned.

"Wuyuan, Baotou, Guisui..."

"Ningxia, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe..."

The two of them followed Jiang Dong's gaze and looked at the map, these place names swirling in their minds.

Jiang Dong had already guessed Guo Shun's purpose of going to Suiyuan. From an angle that Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan couldn't see, he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

The three of them looked at the map in silence, and time passed by minute by minute.

About three minutes later, Xie Chengrui's eyes suddenly shined. He pointed at the map involuntarily and murmured to himself:

"Shanxi...Shanxi..."

Wu Zhan's reaction this time lagged behind Xie Chengrui's. He still didn't understand the impact of the Battle of Wuyuan on Shanxi.

He is a qualified staff officer and sometimes has a very flexible mind, but compared to Jiangdong, his courage and vision are narrower.

Xie Chengrui knew Jiangdong better. He knew Jiangdong's ambitions, so he quickly linked the possible war in the north with the future situation in Shanxi.

"Lao Xie, there is a talent like Guo Shun in the tobacco company. This is your staff department's mistake!" Jiang Dong still had his hands behind his back, but his tone was much lighter.

"This is indeed a mistake of the staff department!" The two asked and answered, "This person is bold and careful. He dares to take action based on a piece of information that he does not know is true or false. He is a talent. When he comes back, he will be transferred to the staff department.

Be a counselor."

Wu Zhan is still consuming his own brain cells.

"It's a pity to be a staff officer. Such a person is suitable to be a pioneer!" Jiang Dong retracted his gaze from looking at the map, picked up the telegram sent by Guo Shun, and read it carefully again.

Xie Chengrui waved his baton and drew a circle on the huge map, and only then did Wu Zhan react.

His eyes were filled with astonishment, and he kept turning his head to look at Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui.

As the deputy chief of staff of the 39th Army Corps, Wu Zhan was very clear about how powerful the 39th Army Corps was now. It was precisely because he saw this clearly that he found it unbelievable.

It is impossible to regain the entire territory of Shanxi with 100,000 troops.

"The General Staff will start coordinating the situation of all parties and formulating a combat plan starting today." Jiang Dong said to Xie Chengrui:

"Confidentiality is the first priority. Before the final action, even if the commanders of the five main divisions ask you, don't say more!"

The Military Intelligence Bureau has no clue as to where the senior mole is hiding, and the overall strategic intentions and operational direction must be kept strictly confidential.

"Regiment commander, Fu Zuoyi and Ma Jiajun are still uncertain whether they will fight or not. Is it too early to formulate a battle plan now?" Wu Zhan said.

"Hehe..." Xie Chengrui suddenly bared his teeth and laughed,

"In a month's time, the weapons and equipment of the Ma's army will far exceed that of the Japanese. This army is a bunch of evil wolves. Now that we have armed their teeth, do you think they will move?

Fu Zuoyi’s side is simpler, he has ideas in this regard, and what we have to do is to help him turn his ideas into practical actions!”

Wu Zhan nodded, he understood the deeper meaning of Xie Chengrui's words.

"What did Hu Zongnan say? How much food can be produced?"

Jiang Dong sat at the table, holding a red pencil in his hand.

"I just got the news not long ago that the 17th Army Corps has cooperated with Shaanxi businessmen to raise grain, and only 20,000 kilograms can be traded with us. Hu Zongnan wants weapons and equipment, and the businessmen want cigarettes. A preliminary cooperation agreement has been reached."

Wu Zhan wrote down on paper while talking about Jiangdong,

"Twenty million catties plus Ma Jiajun's ten million and fifty million catties, the total grain is thirty million and fifty million catties..." This number sounds huge, but if the units are converted into tons or evenly distributed

When it comes to 1 million people, it can only be said to be barely enough.

How many tons is 350 million kilograms?

"Hu Zongnan is not as powerful as Ma Hongkui. He gave 10,000 sheep anyway, and he only has 20,000 kilograms here." Jiang Dong shook his head.

"Cigarettes can be given to them, but the weapons and equipment will give priority to ourselves and the Ma Jiajun."

After December, the 39th Army Corps and the Ma Jia Army will have combat operations, and Hu Zongnan's equipment can only be postponed until next year.

"How is the training situation of security groups in various places?"

Jiangdong's focus this month is on industrial construction, and he is somewhat unfamiliar with the situation of each army.

"A security corps has been set up in this county, and about 10,000 people have been trained for more than a month." Army training is mainly handled by the staff department. Xie Chengrui is relatively familiar with this situation.

"The soldiers and establishment of the 1st Guards Division have been completed, and there are currently about 18,000 people. It should be possible to form another combat division after November!

If the battle starts in December, the maximum number of troops we can invest is 7 divisions and 130,000 people!"

Xie Chengrui knew what Jiang Dong was thinking, so he explained it in more detail.

Wu Zhan added:

"If the battle lasts for more than a month, two divisions can be mobilized urgently.

With the completion of the steel plant, the production capacity of the military factory will be greatly increased, and self-sufficiency in weapons and equipment will not be a problem, but other materials such as quilts, food, etc. may not be available."

"I'll find a way to get supplies in this area." Jiangdong can't stop the vigorous infrastructure construction movement. The influx of millions of people will greatly consume daily supplies. In addition to asking various factories to increase production, he can think of

They can only be purchased from domestic or foreign countries.

"Collect all the automatic firepower in the hands of the security team, including Czech, Maxim, crooked handles, and Type 92 heavy machine guns, including the corresponding bullets."

Jiangdong stood up again and looked at the battle map.

"After Guo Shun gets in touch with Fu Zuoyi, he will give all these equipment to Fu Zuoyi according to the situation. This battle in the north will not only be fought, but will become a big battle! Come and see..."

Jiangdong picked up the baton and crossed it heavily across the four provinces of northern Saibei.

"This is the Pingsui Railway. After the Tongpu Railway and the Zhengtai Railway were attacked by us one after another, this railway line became the lifeline of the Japanese army in North China and many Japanese military industrial enterprises. After we established a foothold in southeastern Shanxi, the Japanese

We can no longer plunder Shanxi’s coal and iron resources as unscrupulously as in the past.”

When fighting the Japanese, Jiangdong was often most concerned about resource issues. Both Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan were very familiar with this and listened carefully.

"The Pingsui Railway passes through Datong, which is an extremely important transportation node. As long as Datong is captured, the Japanese will not be able to transport all the resources in the west. The General Staff, when formulating the battle plan, pay special attention to Datong. This must be

The focus of the Japanese defense does not need to be to capture Datong. It is more meaningful to make the Japanese feel that Datong may be lost at any time and they cannot deploy their troops calmly than to occupy Datong.

Fu Zuoyi and Ma Jiajun will definitely attack Wuyuan and Baotou at the same time, and we will launch the recovery operation at the same time to keep the Japanese army busy on both sides."

"If there is a fire at both ends, one side must be in danger!" Wu Zhan clapped his hands and said:

"We'll see if the little devil wants to go to Baotou or Taiyuan!"

"That's right!" Jiang Dong put down his baton and said

"This is the idea of ​​​​the staff when formulating the battle plan. In this battle, we will not only occupy Taiyuan, but also go all the way north to the Inner Great Wall. How did the little devil get in back then? Let's tell him to get out the way he came!"

"Ha ha……"

Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan laughed out loud at the same time.

…

October 25th.

Thomas received a reply from the family, and there were no surprises. Both transactions went through smoothly.

The contract with the Rockefeller family was written in both Chinese and English. The signing representative of Southeast Shanxi was Wang Xueqin, and the Rockefeller family was Thomas.

"Kakaka..."

The Rockefeller family is one of the top business families in the United States and even the world, and Jiangdong is a newly rising local figure in the Chinese battlefield. The cooperation between the two forces from the East and the West has naturally attracted the attention of countless media reporters from the East and the West, and is constantly under the spotlight.

The contract signing scene flashes.

“A pleasure to work with!”

Wang Xueqin and Thomas shook hands in front of all media reporters.

Jillian was also in the press queue. There was no expression on her face at the moment, she looked businesslike.

After signing the contract, both parties will also accept questions from reporters.

Thomas on the stage was talking, but Jillian couldn't listen anymore, so she put away her notebook and left the scene with her assistant.

After all the activities on the scene were over, Jiang Dong and Thomas sat opposite each other and asked:

"Mr. Rockefeller, when will the first batch of equipment and experts arrive?"

Thomas spread his hands,

"General, don't be so anxious. It will take at least 20 days to get to China from the west coast. Today is October 25th. They should be able to arrive before December."

"Very good. Let the infrastructure experts you brought this time stay in China and do preliminary exploration and design work."

"Of course. They are already working now. Time is money to businessmen. The Rockefeller family values ​​efficiency more than you, the general. Don't worry!"

After mastering penicillin, Thomas's team will gradually stand out among the entire family, and will most likely gain the say of the entire family in the end. Therefore, Thomas seemed very happy after signing the contract.

Although the price he paid was a bit high, he got it in the end.
