"It's snowing, it's snowing..."

Heavy snow like goose feathers fell from the sky, and the world was dark. The heavy snow first wet the ground and then covered it layer by layer. In just over ten minutes, the ground was already a white layer!

Although the snow scene is beautiful, Lu Shan is not very beautiful. First, he is worried that the soldiers of the Dongkang have obtained cotton coats for winter. It may not be cold when it snows, but when it snows, the temperature will definitely drop suddenly. This is a very severe test for the insufficiently prepared Dongkang troops!

The second is the people who were hit by the disaster when the flood control dike in Harbin. This winter, the clothes for winter fall second, but how do they spend this long night? Can simple wooden houses and thatched houses resist the invasion of wind and snow?

"Dexin, call the headquarters and ask about the distribution of cotton coats and cold-proof clothes?" Lu Shan called Dexin with a heavy expression.

A batch of clothes was intercepted from Jiuganov, and Lu Shan left some of them for his own use, and gave them to Wu Jiong's guard battalion and Cheka and other Belarusian soldiers who surrendered temporarily. Lu Shan planned to send the rest to the arsenal. Although the number may not be enough, it is better than not, right?

"President Qin replied, saying that the headquarters had ordered all Harbin garment factories to start construction day and night, and rush to make cotton coats and trousers. Now, it has been rushed to produce about 50,000 sets, and all of them have been distributed. However, it may take a certain amount of time to be distributed to everyone. In addition, the factory will rush to produce 80,000 sets of cotton coats and trousers within a week, but the factory is facing the problem of raw materials shortage. I hope Mr. Lu can find a way to solve this problem!"

The raw materials for cotton coats are nothing more than cloth and cotton. This has been affected by the war. Local textile factories in Harbin generally lack raw materials. Cotton yarn and cotton basically rely on imports from other places. The sunshine time in the North Manchuria area is not long and is not suitable for cotton planting. It is not realistic to want to rely on one's own.

Therefore, in the future, it will inevitably rely on imports. Lu Shan’s first thought was the Soviet Union and Russia, and cotton was also a strategic material. The Soviet Union agreed to export in a timely manner and would inevitably put forward some conditions. Not to mention this threshold, it would not be let go of the Eastern Anti-Japanese War.

Is there any substitute? Of course there are some furs, which are much more expensive than cotton coats. A leather coat can be at least ten cotton coats.

The new anti-Japanese regime has said to the outside world that an old surname Bai will never let the old surname starve or freeze to death. This is not just a slogan or a propaganda slogan, it is actually made.

Lu Shan quickly thought of several solutions: First, crack down on illegal merchants who hoarded cotton and cotton. Once discovered, all the goods were confiscated. Second, encourage the people to save themselves. For example, those who have excess cotton coats can be donated or given to those in need, crack down on those who hoarded cotton coats to make huge profits. Third, send people to Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places to purchase fur and cotton, and make up for the loss. It is not too late. Fourth, continue to negotiate with the Soviet Union to purchase cotton cloth and cotton. Fifth, ask for help from the Nanjing Government. Whether it is useful or not, ask for help first. A few telegrams will not cost much!

The five methods and opinions were quickly passed at the executive meeting of the Northeast Government Committee, and the meeting decided to fully accept the five methods proposed by Lu Shan.

Under Lu Shan's instruction, Qin Shiyu immediately sent a telegram to Yan Laoxier from Shanxi, asking him to replace all the 100,000 gifts given to Dong Kang with cotton coats, cotton pants and other cold-resistant supplies.

Dongkang sent a car company and a cavalry battalion to set out from Baichengzi and crossed the vast Inner Mongolia grassland to Shanxi to transport this batch of supplies!

When Yan Laoxier received a telegram sent by Qin Shiyu in the name of Lu Shan, she instantly pulled her face down!

Although the hundred thousand oceans were given out, Yan Laoxier knew that the money was not easy to take. He said he had given it, but the money was in his box.

Now, people don’t have money anymore, but they need cotton coats, cotton pants, and various cotton shoes that can protect the cold, etc.!

The northeast is filled with ice and snow, but Shanxi has just entered late autumn, and the weather is not very cold. Cotton coats, cotton pants and cotton shoes are piled in the warehouse. Besides, Shanxi has only one month to enter winter. In this month, as long as there is enough raw materials to produce a large number of cotton coats and cotton pants!

"Lao Wu, what do you think?" Yan Laoxi asked Yan Huiqing who was packing her documents.

"For political matters, you should make your own decisions!"

"If I don't give this, Lu Shan, the baby commander, must have hated me to death. If I give it to me, the Japanese should have hated me to death!"

"Anyway, you promised to give them a hundred thousand oceans. Sooner or later, why not give those who have ulterior motives an example?"

"I promised to give them money, but I didn't say I wanted to give them cotton coats and cotton pants?"

"If you don't give it to me, they will take your money and you still need a big purchase. At that time, your reputation as Yan Laozi will be called to you for a while!"

"Then prepare it, you can't give it all. It's just a half of the raw materials. I need it here for emergencies!" Old Xier Yan thought for a moment and ordered!

Nanjing, Wang Zhaoming's official residence.

"I heard it was snowing heavily in the northeast?" Wang Zhaoming asked.

"Yes, the troops in the Northeast are still wearing single clothes, and life is not easy!" Chen Bijun said with gratitude.

"Old Jiang has recruited more than 100,000 people at once, and is in high spirits. I wonder how much it will cost?"

"It is also from the government. He is the only one who is generous to others. What is this?" Chen Bijun was extremely dissatisfied with this.

"The financial power is in the hands of his brother-in-law Song Zhiwen. What can I do if I have any plans?"

"I want me to tell you that we must have a gun in our hands, otherwise you, the Executive Director, will never be as big as that chairman!" Chen Bijun said.

"What should I do if you ask me to do, madam? I don't understand military affairs. Besides, I can't get involved in the military committee?" How could Wang Zhaoming not understand the role of the army, but he may still be a bit capable in politics and know nothing about military affairs. How could he fight with Chiang Kai-shek, who had already become full of wings?

In troubled times, the gun is compared. Wang Zhaoming has a good face and a good mouth, but a strong mouth cannot beat the gun.

It’s like a scholar meeting a soldier, and it’s hard to explain it!

"I heard that Dong Kang had reached a reorganization agreement with Lao Chiang on the surface, but in fact he was not completely incorporated by Lao Chiang. We can take this opportunity to win over it. Although we may not be able to help us, if we can bring it over, we can have a helping hand?" Chen Bijun said.

"This is probably very difficult. People who Chiang values ​​will definitely not let go easily. What can we give to others?" Wang Zhaoming knew his disadvantages very well and urgently wanted to turn them around. However, he started a good business by rebelling, but without the support of a gun, he could never exert force!

"If Chiang Kai-shek wants to recruit Dong Kang, there will definitely be many conditions. We can add fuel to this aspect..."

"What do you mean is to destroy the situation for Jiang Jiang?"

"No, judging from the current situation, the Northeast must have more autonomy. When it comes to power, Chiang Kai-shek will not give in easily, but in many aspects, Chiang Kai-shek cannot fully represent the government. After all, he only has the weight of speaking in military affairs and cannot make a decision in politics..."

"I understand. You want me to give Dong Kang greater autonomy in the administrative jurisdiction of the Northeast. In this way, Dong Kang was incorporated by Lao Jiang on the surface, but it is impossible for Lao Jiang to become the power used by Lao Jiang!" Wang Zhaoming's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's what it means, but your letting others know that there is your contribution, and let others win your affection!" Chen Bijun smiled and said.

"I understand, my wife is really my female Zhuge!" Wang Zhaoming laughed.

"Commissioner, the Northeastern region's emergency telegram!"

"Emergency telegram?" Jiang Zhongzheng put down the brush in his hand and looked up in surprise.

"Yes, heavy snow suddenly fell in Heilongjiang. Dongkang is now continuing to use cotton coats, cotton pants, cotton shoes and other cold-resistant items. There is a big gap. Although they have already made some arrangements, the heavy snow came too quickly, which caught them off guard!" Wang Shihe said.

“How much have they prepared?”

"More than 50,000 sets, and there is an estimated gap of nearly 25 sets. This is a conservative estimate!" Wang Shihe said.

"They only have more than 100,000 troops, why do they need 300,000 units?"

"They said that 200,000 of them were civilian. In early August, the Harbin River Embankment broke, flooding all the houses and streets by the river. More than 100,000 people were affected. There were also poor people in various places who needed relief. Dong Kang proposed not to starve to death this winter and freeze a person to death, so there was a big gap in clothing for cold protection!"

"So that's the case. Didn't they organize production and self-rescue?"

"At present, all the machines in Harbin's garment factories are producing all the machines day and night, but due to the raw materials, they may not be able to produce raw materials in a long time!" Wang Shihe said, "Japan has blocked all the passages in and out of Heilongjiang. It is a veil, and one or two cotton can't enter Harbin!"

"Damn little Japanese!" When Old Jiang heard this, he punched the table with anger.

"That is, we have prepared these supplies for them. How do they transport them back?"

"They sent a convoy with about twenty trucks, and a cavalry battalion accompanied by them. They went west to Baichengzi, walked through the Inner Mongolia grassland for thousands of kilometers, and tried to purchase raw materials or finished cotton coats from the inner Mongolia grassland within a month before the heavy snowfall in the Inner Mongolia grassland!" Wang Shihe said.

"This road is not easy to walk. Even if there are cavalrymen in a battalion, the safety of the convoy is a problem!"

"When I came, I was not a big problem, I was afraid that when I went back, the grassland would be a place where bandits were rampant!" Wang Shihe said.

Wang Shihe did not say it clearly, in fact, the bandits he mentioned were not the Mongolian princes and princes colluded with by the Japanese?

If these people are deliberately trying to make things difficult for the convoy, then let alone the cavalry of a battalion, it will be a brigade!
