Chapter 160
Although the conditions are not yet in place, Zeng Jiwen believes that after driving away the Japanese troops, the project can basically be started slowly.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zeng Jiwen took into account the future situation. Once the European war broke out, with He Ping's strength in physics and mechanics, he would most likely be contacted by intelligence personnel from other countries, so he allowed him to return to China secretly.
The reason why these three people were asked to come here this time is to deal with the issue of weapons manufacturing. Currently, many problems need to be solved by these three people urgently.
When Zhou Shi and Wang Zhuo heard Zeng Jiwen's words, they were immediately shocked.
Currently, the entire Eighth Route Army has many top students in military affairs, but there are very few people engaged in scientific research. I didn’t expect that Zeng Jiwen had quietly built up such a large business.
Zeng Jiwen smiled but said nothing. Thinking of the laboratory deep in the mountains of Lanzhou behind him, he thought to himself that this was just the beginning. He came here knowing what would happen. If he didn't make some preparations, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
But then he thought of the laboratory expenses, and suddenly he felt a toothache. If Zeng Jiwen had not led people to fleece the Eagle Sauce during the Great Depression, he would have collapsed long ago.
It is difficult for Zeng Jiwen to change the general trend, but he can still find a way to deal with some things.
After they finished talking, they walked towards the east entrance of the village together.
When everyone arrived at the east entrance of the village, many people who came to support were already waiting.
When everyone heard that Zeng Jiwen, the famous commander of the 389th Division on the front line, was coming to visit them, they all ran excitedly to the open space at the east entrance of the village.
After all, this time they were supporting the front line from the rear, and many of them had heard of Zeng Jiwen's name in the rear. Since the 389th Brigade entered Shanxi, it had won victory after victory, and even set a record by encircling and annihilating the Japanese army in an organized manner, which finally allowed the Kuomintang to upgrade it to the 389th Division for the first time.
This is undoubtedly earth-shattering news in this era of poverty and weakness.
When they heard that Zeng Jiwen was coming to visit them, many people were eager to meet Zeng Jiwen and had many questions to ask him.
So many people came early as soon as they heard the news.
After everyone gathered, they all sat cross-legged in the open space.
Then, the head of the teaching group, Wang Zhan, stood up and faced everyone.
"Comrades, as you all know, our families sent us here to support the 389th Division's anti-Japanese base in southeastern Shanxi."
"Now, I believe many of you are looking forward to it. Today, the division commander is here to visit you all. If you have any questions, you can ask the division commander and others later."
"Now, we would like to invite Commander Zeng to speak!"
As Wang Zhan finished speaking, the entire open space began to resound with warm applause, and comrades began to stretch their heads and look forward.
After hearing Wang Zhan's words, Zeng Jiwen immediately stood up from the front row, shook off the dust behind him, and began to face everyone.
At this time, when everyone saw Zeng Jiwen, they were all shocked by Zeng Jiwen's figure and were a little uncertain for a moment.
Zeng Jiwen looked so young, not much older than the people present. Thinking that he was a famous anti-Japanese hero, he was not much younger than them, and some of them were even a few years older, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Zeng Jiwen looked at everyone's expectant expressions and spoke.
"Comrades, I am Zeng Jiwen, commander of the 389th Division."
After hearing Zeng Jiwen's introduction, the people sitting cross-legged below finally became convinced that the young man standing in front of them was Zeng Jiwen, the commander of the 389th Division. Suddenly, the whole venue became noisy.
Zeng Jiwen looked at everyone and waited until they quieted down before continuing.
"First of all, on behalf of the 389th Division, I would like to welcome everyone to our division to support the construction of the base."
Afterwards, Zeng Jiwen began to introduce the current situation and the current situation of the 389th Division to everyone, and encouraged everyone to enthusiastically participate in the construction of the base (I won’t write about this part of the speech, it was so embarrassing to read it after holding it in for so long).
