After Yu Ye and Zhao Gang finished talking, the monk found Yu Ye holding his Gatling gun, which had three broken barrels.

"Advisor Yu, please take a look at my gun. It looks like the barrel is broken."

Yu Ye took it and took a look, and it was true. Perhaps due to poor heat dissipation, three barrels had overheated and deformed. If he continued firing, they would probably explode.

"Don't use it anymore. If you keep using this thing it will break down. If it explodes and hits you it will be serious." Yu Ye threw the thing aside.

The monk picked up his gun distressedly and said, "How could that be possible? With such dense firepower, it would be such a pity if the Japs didn't throw it away.

Consultant Yu, I know you are very capable, please fix it for me again.

I have gotten used to this."

"Okay, but if you still use the Japanese's gun barrel, it won't last long. I'll make you another gun for you to use first. When my metallurgical industry is ready, I'll make you a Gatling gun. I guarantee you can use it longer!

A peerless warrior like you should use a Gatling gun!" Yu Ye said approvingly, looking at the monk's size.

"Come on! Consultant Yu, please don't lie to me."

Yu Ye suddenly remembered the topic he had just discussed with Zhao Gang, and asked the monk: "Monk, we failed to rescue the villagers of Baijiazhuang this time. What do you think?"

"I didn't see much. They were unlucky."

Yu Ye didn't expect that a monk who was once a Buddhist disciple could say such a thing.

The monk continued, “Advisor Yu, I can tell from the looks of it that you are a scholar, and you have lived in peace for too long.

Look at us, people are dying around us every day and we can’t take care of them. All we can do is try to stay alive and try to save those who shouldn’t die.

Maybe one day I will die.

It's a pity that the three villagers in Baijiazhuang died, but do you think they regret it? They definitely don't regret it. "

"why?"

"Because their relatives had already been killed by the devils, they had a blood feud with the devils, and the only thing that kept them alive was hatred.

This time they helped us, and dying is a kind of relief for them." The monk said calmly, his eyes looking into the distance, Yu Ye didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long while, Yu Ye suddenly asked the monk a seemingly irrelevant question: "Monk, there are only two of us here. I'm going to ask you a question, but you don't have to answer it."

"Counselor Yu, what do you say?"

"From your heart, do you think we can win?"

As a person of later generations, Yu Ye naturally knew the course of history, but he didn't know what people of his time would think of this issue.

"Advisor Yu, you know, I came from the National Army, and I don't have as much education as the political commissars.

I don't know about others, but there were only three things I did in the National Army: eat enough, carry a gun, and fight the Japanese.

As for whether I can win, to be honest, I don’t know.”

"Don't know?" Yu Ye was surprised.

"Yes, I don't know. Because I fought against the Japanese too many times, I know how sophisticated their equipment is, and I also know how well they are trained.

So, it is very likely that we cannot win.”

"Can't win?" Yu Ye didn't expect the monk to answer like this.

"Yeah, we can't win."

Yu Ye asked seriously: "If you think you can't win, what's the point of insisting on fighting?"

"I can't really explain the meaning of what you mean. I just think that if I can't win, my children can win. If my children can't win, my children's children can win.

We can no longer allow this nation to become slaves of a conquered nation.

You said, right? Consultant Yu. "

Without waiting for Ye's answer, the monk continued, "There is another reason why I persist, which is that I think this land cannot have a temple where people can chant sutras in peace and quiet.

Am I right? "

"Correct!"

Yu Ye was somewhat moved at this moment. He knew that the monk had just come from the National Army and had not received much education from our side. His ideas actually represented the ideas of many soldiers belonging to other forces in this era.

When Yu Ye was alive, he always knew that his ancestors were great, but he didn't know they were so great.

Even though they don't know how long it will take them to succeed, or even though they don't know whether they can succeed if they persist, they are still willing to sacrifice their lives for a uncertain future.

This is true greatness.

At this moment, Yu Ye suddenly felt that this monk who ate meat and drank wine had a heart of Buddha.

Yu Ye thought of the person who wrote "On Protracted War".

Since he has armed your brains with theory and strengthened your belief in victory, I will arm you with material things to make you more confident of victory!

After saying these words, Yu Ye and the monk stood there, looking into the distance and fell silent.

After a long while, the monk suddenly asked, "Advisor Yu, you are a scholar and you know a lot. Can you tell me what China will be like a hundred years from now?"

Yu Ye looked into the monk's eyes and said confidently: "A hundred years later, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!"

......

After settling the villagers of Yangcun, Yu Ye began to select a site for his arsenal.

He had originally planned to carry out his production work in the previous cave, but he didn't expect to be tormented by the Japanese and his plans were completely disrupted.

After several days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Yu Ye finally found the place he wanted.

Under a cliff, there is a cave that slopes upward at an angle, and there is a river a few miles away from the cave.

"Old Li, I plan to put our arsenal here. What do you think?" Yu Ye said, pointing to the cave.

"I think it's right. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, except for climbing down from the cliff." Li Yunlong gave his own suggestions from the tactical defense level.

"I plan to let everyone build a dam on the river in front to create a small reservoir." Yu Ye said, pointing to the small river in front.

"What's the point of building that thing?"

"I plan to build a hydroelectric power station. Although we have a lot of coal in Jin, it may be cheaper to build a thermal power station, but the Japanese blockade is so strict now that the equipment needed cannot be fully prepared in a short time.

We can only work on the hydraulic power first."

"Okay, tell me the address you've chosen, and I'll arrange for someone to do it for you."

"Don't worry, this will take at least a few months. Please help me with something first."

"what's up?"

"Lao Li, please help me collect the urine of all my comrades in the regiment."

"what?"
