Chapter 107 The Problems of the Common People
The Central Army has been particularly happy recently because they have captured an Japanese officer and even equipped with swords and guns.
Every day, I am entertaining the Japanese with delicious food and drinks, and I also sent specialists to watch it. I heard that Zhongtong was also sending a few beauties to serve him. I wonder if I have any strange exercises to do at night.
In order to prevent the Japanese from committing suicide, the Central Army had a lot of thought and tried to serve him in different ways every day.
But I don’t know why, the news was exposed, maybe because there were too many loopholes in the intelligence system within the Central Army, and the Japanese spies were everywhere, and the news was quickly transmitted back to the Japanese.
In order to protect this Japanese and to be promoted and wealthy in the future, many agents in Zhongtong died, just for such a prisoner.
So Li Feng thought that it was the right decision for him to hand over the prisoner to the Central Army, and he wanted to kill them, which was why Li Feng was eager to trade with the Central Army.
If the Japanese find that the people are here, they will definitely send a lot of agents over there. According to the current strength of their troops, they are not enough to resist the Japanese agents.
So he is now preparing to establish a special force to deal with some special situations, so that he will not be unable to resist when encountering Japanese agents in the future.
However, these things will take some time for the time being, and the problems in front of you are the most important ones, especially when Uncle Song is anxious and angry, he comes up to see Li Feng.
"Captain, the people around us seem to have no food. This year, some locust plagues occurred in Henan, and we have also been affected. The food in the field is inadequate, and some people have gone out to beg. We must do something."
The more difficult the time is, the more difficult the Eighth Route Army must face it. This is the consistent style of the Party and serve the people wholeheartedly!
Now that the people are in trouble, the Eighth Route Army of course cannot stand by and watch, and no matter what, they have to reach out to support them.
The little fat man rubbed his fat face, and his face suddenly collapsed, and he shouted at Uncle Song with some disgust:
"I don't have any idea. The food in our army is not enough. We are not familiar with the landlords nearby. If we do it rashly, it will probably have a counterproductive effect."
The landlords and Lao Cai, who have not figured out the nearby landlords, have no idea which are hard-core traitors, which are two-faced people, and have no idea which are sincerely wanted to fight the Japanese.
In order to avoid pushing those two-faced factions to the Japanese, it is better not to act rashly.
However, the hunger of the people is always ongoing. They have sent out a lot of food recently and have even purchased some food to support the people.
But there are too many people nearby, and just one unit can't take care of it. As for the Central Army, it's not possible to expect it at all. It would be good if they didn't harm the people. It seems that they have never heard of such things.
As for the Jinsui Army, they could not count on them. They were all double-gun soldiers. Why are the common people now afraid of being a soldier? It’s just that there is no big difference between being a soldier and being a bandit? Otherwise, why would they always say that the soldiers and bandits are one?
In addition to the bandits, there are also some big-headed soldiers, especially some rural security groups, all of which are composed of gangsters. It is normal to bully men and dominate women. It is not your life, so that is thank God.
"But the people around here are suffering from severe disasters. We have to think of some ways. After all, this is the first major difficulty we have encountered just arrived here.
If it is solved, even if we have completely gained a foothold here, we will have some mass base in the future.”
Uncle Song said this very well, but Li Feng really couldn't think of any way to help the people.
Giving them money is not practical. After all, it is better to teach people fishing than to teach mermaids. The favors you get are often unreliable and you have to exchange them for labor. This will not only stimulate their enthusiasm, but also make them lose confidence in life, and it will not make them have a serious dependence on the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the eagle also walked in quickly. As soon as it came in, it grabbed a teacup of water and poured it down. Then it shouted at Li Feng anxiously,
"Boss, this won't work. Look at the people nearby. I just went down and took a look. If this continues, they will probably have to eat locusts. We have to think of a solution as soon as possible."
Bang!
A thought flashed through Li Feng's head, and then he squinted his eyes and asked the eagle in front of him.
"What did you just say?"
"We...you think of a solution!"
The eagle was a little confused, but Li Feng still squinted his eyes and asked again:
"It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence."
"If this continues, the people will almost eat locusts."
"Yes, eat locusts!"
Li Feng slapped his thighs, and the flesh on his thighs shook, and then his face changed into a full spirit.
Uncle Song and the eagle in front of him didn't know what Li Feng was talking about. It was unheard of for eating locusts. The captain was afraid that he had said the wrong thing.
The eagle frowned when he saw the captain like this. He felt that some big things might happen next, and it was very likely that the captain said to eat locusts.
Li Feng poured a glass of water and poured it on, then said to Uncle Song:
"I came up with a solution that can not only help the people solve some difficulties, but also help us solve some troubles ourselves!"
For some reason, before Uncle Song heard Li Feng’s thoughts, he felt that his method was definitely unreliable, and the feeling was extremely strong.
He was not the only one who felt the same, but the eagle next to him was the same. He always felt that the captain must have thought of some bad idea now.
"Captain...you can tell me what you can do."
"Why did this expression? I really thought of a solution.
Look, many soldiers in our army have night blindness. I don’t need to explain this to you. I believe you understand it very well.”
The Eighth Route Army had night blindness, which was really normal. Not only them, but also other troops, including the people nearby, would have this situation.
It is because of the lack of protein, which is similar to malnutrition. If you don’t eat enough nutrients, it is not uncommon to get night blindness.
So Li Feng believes that they should supplement protein, but because protein is not available everywhere, they usually need to eat meat, but their farm has not been fully established yet, so they can only think of other ways.
Uncle Song and Eagle also knew that the soldiers had night blindness, but they didn’t know how to treat them.
"Captain, does this temporarily have any relationship with the food shortage of people?"
Naturally, Eagle and Uncle Song didn’t know the connection, but Li Xiaopang knew it.
"Of course it's related. Tell me why the people are short of food?"
"Because of the locust plague, I have said that this has been said before. The locust has chewed off a lot of leaves on the mountain. I just saw a few big and long locusts!"
The eagle slapped his thigh and shouted, but at this time he saw the captain smiling, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Will it be over!"
