Chapter 155: Monk, think carefully, do you really not find anything suspicious? 3-word chapter!
After dealing with Duan Peng and Wei Dayong's matters, Lin Zhenhua began today's routine sign-in, and a pleasant system prompt sounded.
"Ding Dong, the system has signed in successfully, and I have been rewarded with a complete set of T34 tank production drawings and technology."
Lin Zhenhua really didn't expect to be able to obtain the technology of the T34 tank. Before, he was still struggling to decide which tank to produce. Unexpectedly, the system made the choice for him directly. The T34 tank is simple to manufacture, easy to maintain and drive, and is especially suitable for the Eighth Route Army. This is definitely a magic weapon for the independent regiment.
After Lin Zhenhua digested and absorbed all the technologies in his mind, he began to overcome several difficulties in tank manufacturing. He set his first goal on the manufacture of tractors. As long as he could produce the chassis of tractors, producing tanks would be easy. At this time, tanks were not that complicated. He even had a bold idea in his mind that he could improve the manufacturing process of the T34 tank again and use a large number of castings, which could greatly save working hours and increase the output of T34 tanks.
Lin Zhenhua began to brainstorm. He worked quietly for the whole afternoon. When it was time for dinner, his stomach growled with hunger. He came to his senses when he heard Duan Peng and Wei Dayong calling him to eat.
"Monk, Duan Peng, I'll be right there!"
After Lin Zhenhua responded, he washed his face with cold water and felt much more energetic. He dragged his tired body outside. Wei Dayong and Duan Peng had already brought the food. Lin Zhenhua saw that there was a boiled beef slice for dinner tonight. He asked in surprise, "Monk, Duan Peng, is there something wrong with my eyes? Or am I dreaming? Why is there boiled beef tonight?"
Wei Dayong saw Lin Zhenhua's surprised expression and laughed, "College student, I have good news for you. Yesterday, Deputy Commander Xing led his men to seize a Japanese stronghold and blew up a cow that was used to transport food. Knowing that you like to eat beef, Deputy Commander Xing had 30 kilograms of beef sent back to you, specifically for you to eat and to supplement your nutrition!"
"Deputy Captain Xing was just about to tell you about this, but I saw you were thinking about something, so I didn't bother you. Tonight, the kitchen staff specially made your favorite boiled beef. There are no chili peppers in it, but Sichuan peppercorns grown by the villagers. Come and have a taste. How does it taste? Old Wang has been stewing it for a long time, you can't let him down!"
Duan Peng followed up by saying, "The remaining 20 pounds will be made into braised beef, which the captain can eat for a long time. Captain, please don't refuse. This is everyone's kindness. The captain has been busy until late at night these days. Although everyone doesn't say it, they all remember it in their hearts. As for those who gossip, I taught them a lesson after I found out. Those rookies don't know anything. They don't know your ability at all!"
Lin Zhenhua almost cried as he looked at the meat and vegetable dishes on the table. His food was the best in the independent regiment. He had a can of meat and unlimited food every day. He was the only one in the independent regiment who had such high treatment.
"I remember everyone's concern for me, and I promise that everyone will have meat to eat in the near future. The pigs in our independent regiment have grown to 30 or 40 kilograms now. In another six months, we will slaughter them and eat their meat. We will have a fat New Year this year!"
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Such delicious food will not taste good if it gets cold. Hurry up and eat. Eat more tonight. I have something else for you two to do!"
At Lin Zhenhua's invitation, the three began to eat. Under Lin Zhenhua's gaze, Wei Dayong and Duan Peng gritted their teeth and ate a few chopsticks of boiled beef slices, then started to eat the pickled vegetables beside them. Lin Zhenhua immediately understood what they were thinking and did not try to persuade them anymore. He accepted their kindness and ate up the remaining boiled beef slices.
After dinner, Lin Zhenhua invited the two to the basement of the arsenal. He had something important to discuss with them, and in order to avoid leaking the news, he chose the basement.
Inviting the two to sit down casually, Lin Zhenhua did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Monk, how is the investigation going on for the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Wei Dayong did not smile this time, but replied with a serious face: "College student, I have been keeping an eye on the telegraph operator Li Xiaoming these days, and I haven't found any problems yet, but I have a hunch that your guess is right, there is definitely something wrong with Li Xiaoming!"
Lin Zhenhua didn't expect that Wei Dayong didn't find any problems. This made his face turn from sunny to cloudy. He asked unwillingly, "Monk, think about it again. You have been watching Li Xiaoming for so long, don't you find anything suspicious about him?"
Wei Dayong did not answer directly, but began to go over everything about Li Xiaoming in his mind again, not even missing out on some details. He actually noticed something wrong and replied excitedly: "College student, now that you mention it, it really reminds me of two times when Li Xiaoming behaved a little strangely. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, Li Xiaoming really has a problem, and a big problem at that. No wonder our independent regiment's radio station is always broken, it must be related to this kid!"
"College student, Li Xiaoming had diarrhea twice in the past month. We all eat the same food on weekdays. Even if someone had diarrhea, it is impossible for him to have diarrhea twice in a month. In addition to him, there is another person in our independent regiment who also had diarrhea twice. He is Ma Tiancheng from the cavalry company. Do you think these two people are in the same group?"
Lin Zhenhua immediately understood what Wei Dayong meant. The two of them had diarrhea at the same time, but no one else had this problem. It was really suspicious. However, it was not ruled out that Ma Tiancheng was wrongly accused. Of course, it would be better to investigate. He instructed Wei Dayong: "Monk, you and Duan Peng should keep an eye on Li Xiaoming, and the other one should keep an eye on Ma Tiancheng. You must be careful and not be discovered by the two!"
"We don't know how many spies and secret agents the devils have planted in our independent regiment. This has constrained my ability to do things. After a while, our independent regiment will bring in a batch of machine tools. Once the devils get wind of this, they will definitely destroy them. By then, it will be a long time before our arsenal can start operations."
"We must catch all the spies and secret agents hiding in the independent regiment within a month. Only then can I safely transport the batch of machine tools into the base."
"Duan Peng, where did the rumor about the Japanese Zero fighter come from? Have you found the source?"
When Duan Peng heard Lin Zhenhua asking about this, he replied listlessly: "Captain, this matter was spread by a few children in Duanjiazhuang when they were playing. Fortunately, what these children said was similar to a fairy tale. Until now, I have not found out why it attracted the attention of the devils. I will continue to investigate this matter!"
Lin Zhenhua was very dissatisfied with the results of Duan Peng's investigation, so he decided to arrange other people to investigate the matter. It just so happened that Li Sanwa was free these days, so it would be most appropriate for him to be responsible for the investigation.
"Duan Peng, don't feel bad. I plan to let Li Sanwa handle this matter. It's not my intention, but this matter must be investigated as soon as possible. I think there must be something hidden in this matter. If you investigate it, it will easily lead to other speculations. It's better to let Li Sanwa take charge of this matter!"
Duan Peng also thought that Lin Zhenhua's arrangement was better. After all, the villagers in Duanjiazhuang all had a good relationship with him. If there was really a problem, he might not be able to bring himself to take ruthless action. He felt more at ease letting Li Sanwa handle the matter.
Just when Lin Zhenhua was worried about finding the spy, Wang Xiaohai and Zhao Yuanqing got in touch again tonight.
"Xiao Hai, where did this independent regiment get so much food? I took a secret look and the amount of food is really terrifying. It is enough for the entire independent regiment to eat for two months. Even if Li Yunlong is very capable, he can't produce it out of thin air!" Zhao Yuanqing asked curiously.
Wang Xiaohai rolled his eyes and replied unhappily, "How would I know that Li Yunlong was so capable of getting so much food? I guess this must be related to college students. These days I have figured out one thing, that is, the reason why the independent regiment has been able to develop so fast is closely related to college students!"
"According to the information I secretly got these days, Li Yunlong is still secretly doing business with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and has brought back a lot of food and salt. As for whether this matter is true or not, it is not something we two can verify. You should report it quickly, so that the two of us can have an explanation!"
"Yuanqing, I advise you to be more honest during this period. I always feel that the atmosphere in the regiment is a little strange. The last incident with Zhu Ziming happened not long ago. I guess Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have also noticed that there is a Japanese spy hidden in the independent regiment. Now our situation is very dangerous. I plan to contact each other once every two weeks in the future to avoid the limelight first."
Zhao Yuanqing didn't care about Wang Xiaohai's reminder. The Japanese had the leverage over both of them, and sometimes you can't just hide away if you want to. It can only be said that Wang Xiaohai's idea was very naive. Since the day they betrayed the Independent Regiment, they had no choice but to go all the way to the end.
"Xiao Hai, if there is no mission, I will not contact you, but if there is an urgent mission, don't blame me. There are some things that we really cannot help. It is best to make great achievements and leave the independent group as soon as possible, so that we don't need to live in fear like this!"
Wang Xiaohai agreed with this statement very much. He has been secretly investigating the drug matter these days. Since not many people know about it, he dare not ask directly and can only inquire indirectly, so the progress is slow.
Before leaving, Wang Xiaohai said, "Yuanqing, I'm investigating the drug issue. I'll notify you as soon as I have any news! Don't go out too much these days. If you don't have anything to do, just stay at home!"
"Xiao Hai, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter!"
