Chapter 330: The Base Area is Flourishing
The next day.
Qi Tongwei arranged for the corresponding exploration personnel to go to the mountains to look for precious metal mineral resources early in the morning. The development of industry is inseparable from minerals, especially metal minerals.
One after another, teams set out from their base to explore the mountains. Without satellites, the only way to find iron ore resources was to rely on exploration teams to conduct surveys bit by bit.
Carrying simple tools such as shovels, pickaxes and magnifying glasses, as well as maps and compasses, they hiked into the mountains and began the arduous exploration work.
at the same time,
The sun shines inside the base area's prisoner-of-war camp.
Those once arrogant and vicious Japanese devils were now gathered together on a large training ground.
Around the training ground, densely packed barbed wire fences stood tall, like a solid wall of steel, blocking any possible escape routes.
And on these barbed wires, electric currents flash from time to time, making a heart-pounding crackling sound.
At regular intervals, soldiers armed with live ammunition stood upright, vigilantly watching every move in the field.
At the front of the Japanese army, there stood a special team dressed in Eighth Route Army uniforms - the Japanese Anti-War Team.
A rough estimate is that the number of people in this team is about 300. They were once part of the invaders, but after a series of soul-deep brainwashing education and ideological transformation work,
Now they have completely changed their positions and become foreign soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Now, they are responsible for managing the entire prisoner-of-war camp.
Just then, Qi Tongwei walked into the prisoner-of-war camp.
Seeing Qi Tongwei coming, the captain of the Japanese anti-war team, Nakamura, immediately trotted up to him, then stopped, straightened his body, saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "Political Commissar Qi, all the prisoners have been assembled as you requested, please give your instructions!"
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly, then slowly swept his eyes across the rows of Japanese soldiers standing neatly on the training ground.
They were in uniform formation and respectful in their attitude. It was obvious that under the effective management of the Japanese anti-war team, everything was in good order.
"Nakamura, you did a great job. The prisoner-of-war camp did not become chaotic under your management. The commander and I are very satisfied."
"Hayi, thank you for the compliment, Political Commissar." Nakamura said happily.
"By the way, I'm here today to give you a new task."
When Nakamura heard this, he immediately stood up straight and waited for Qi Tongwei's order.
"Captain Nakamura, the commander and I have discussed and decided to send the prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp to work in the mines of the base area. Through labor reform, they can atone for the crimes they have committed.
From today onwards, the prisoner-of-war camp will no longer provide free food. You can only get food by digging in the mines." Qi Tongwei said slowly.
After listening to this, Nakamura immediately saluted to show his understanding: "Hayi, I understand. I will organize the prisoners to start working immediately."
Qi Tongwei nodded with satisfaction. He did have a good impression of Nakamura from the Anti-War Team.
This was a Japanese soldier who knew how to adapt to the changing times. With his assistance, the independent column would be able to better manage the prisoner-of-war camp.
Sometimes, their own people are more cruel to each other. He was not afraid that the Japanese would turn against him. From the moment they agreed to join the anti-war team, they had no way out and had only one way to go to the end.
Qi Tongwei took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket and handed it to Nakamura. The paper recorded the location and size of the minerals in the base.
"Captain Nakamura, the address and scale of the mineral deposits written on the paper are where the prisoners in the POW camp need to go to mine. You should arrange the personnel reasonably and start mining in the mine from today." Qi Tongwei ordered.
"Hai."
Nakamura responded as he took the paper, looked at it carefully, then folded it carefully and put it in his pocket.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei took a tour around the prisoner-of-war camp and began to return to the command center.
After receiving the mission, Nakamura quickly summoned the members of the anti-war team and explained the situation to them.
Then they assigned tasks. They needed to arrange the prisoners in the POW camp within one day. Tens of thousands of Japanese devils were arranged into hundreds of mines for mining operations.
Although the Japanese prisoners were very reluctant, they had no choice. If they did not work in the mines, they would have no food to eat. Rather than starving, they chose to work in the mines.
One after another, teams of Japanese prisoners of war set out from the prisoner-of-war camps and quickly headed to the mines where they were located to mine. With the addition of Japanese miners, the output of the major mines soared sharply.
Every Japanese soldier was mining desperately, and as long as they could complete the task, they could get food.
If the task was completed in excess, they would be rewarded with meat. This was a great temptation for the Japanese prisoners. Everyone wanted to eat meat, so they worked harder.
With a little trick, Gundam turned these Japanese prisoners into hardworking Japanese workers.
........
A week later,
The sun shone through the morning mist on the mountains, and the air was filled with the scent of earth and fresh grass.
As the exploration team continued to explore, good news came one after another. The exploration team discovered dozens of large and small metal mineral resources in the base.
This was very good news for the Independent Column. The increase in mineral resources began to prompt the expansion of the steel plant.
The entire Wild Wolf Mountain has become a huge construction site, with machines roaring and workers busy everywhere.
The sounds of shoveling, hammering, and workers' shouting are intertwined on the construction site.
Every citizen who comes to Ping'an County can find a satisfactory job in the base, with a smile of hope on their face.
In the Lijiazhuang Command Center, Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei, Gaoda and others sat together. The table was filled with various documents and drawings, and on the wall hung blueprints for future construction plans.
"Dakang, what stage has the production and construction activities of our base reached now?" Gaoda asked Li Dakang.
"Commander, after half a month, the production and construction of the base has all entered the high-speed production stage."
"The supply of various resources is fully sufficient. The goods produced can fully meet the needs of the independent column. The surplus goods can also be sold to local people to promote economic development."
Gaoda nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "We still need to further expand the scale of production, especially the construction of steel plants. Now is a critical period, and we must seize this opportunity to transform resources into productivity as soon as possible."
