Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

During the dinner, Xu Damao asked Director Wang about the current situation of fleeing famine. The situation is not optimistic. Now the disaster situation has begun to appear in various places. Xu Damao understands that such situations will become more and more common in the future, but there is nothing he can do.

Even if you have money now, you can't buy food - there is a reduction in production and a severe drought. What can you, a small deputy factory director, do?

"At least, we have to settle the children down..."

Xu Damao looked at Yi Xiaotian who was eating carefully. He was lucky to have met Liu Cuilan, but what about the other children?

Xu Damao discussed it with Lou Bancheng, and then went to talk to Director Wang.

"My father-in-law owns a small abandoned factory. The equipment was taken away when the public-private partnership took place. There are only two factory buildings left for people to live in."

"Director Wang, we can borrow this factory building and temporarily turn it into a welfare home under the subdistrict office. At least the children should have a place to live, right? But we don't have other supplies."

Xu Damao didn't make such a big promise to donate, he just said he would borrow it for temporary use, the land was very valuable. The title deed was still in Lou Bancheng's hands, there was no telling when it could be used.

Director Wang quickly thanked them, "Thank you so much! We are worried about having no place to stay. If this continues, we will vacate a few offices to make rooms for the children."

Li Huaide thought about it and said, "There are still some glasses in the back of the steel mill. So, we will take care of all the glass and doors. 80% of the glass in the factory buildings that have been in disrepair for a long time is broken."

Yi Zhonghai also came over at this time: "I will also help. I will ask some old friends to help make some iron bed frames these days. There are not enough beds for the children. Let's consider it as a good deed for Xiaotian."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Cuilan's face was full of emotion. Even Xu Damao changed his opinion of him. Although it doesn't cost money, it will consume a lot of technology and time.

It should be said that Yi Zhonghai has now achieved what he wanted, and he has become much less violent and calculating.

Liu Haizhong also came over and said, "Count me in. I'm a level 6 blacksmith and I'm quite strong." How could Liu Pangpang miss this opportunity to show off?

His son is the secretary of the director of the speaker factory. He has to take the lead and set a good example and not embarrass his son!

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Okay, I'll report to the higher-ups and apply for it. There should be a lot of discarded steel pipes in the steel mill for making iron bed frames. They don't meet the standards for industrial products, but if they are used to make iron bed frames, it's a waste recycling, so there shouldn't be a problem."

Old Master Chen, who had always been invisible, also came over and said, "We have some cotton-padded clothes and quilts in stock at the Hongmen branch. Donate them as well. Just think of it as a good deed."

When many hands make light work, everyone agreed and the matter was settled.

Sub-district office + government officials + social figures + workers... Jiaodaokou Welfare Home is directly under the jurisdiction of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office and is a semi-civilian organization. It can also solve the employment problems of many temporary workers at once.

As for food, the street office and everyone will work together to find a solution.

Xu Damao's thoughts were simple, as were the Xu Damao of later generations and the Xu Damao of the present, who had never worried about food and drink. So when he saw the children starving, he felt sorry for them.

Your own abilities are limited, and even if you have money you can't do much in this era. But if the street office takes the lead and combines with social forces, things can really be accomplished.

At least if we can save one, it’s one.

A real man knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do. Now that you have traveled to this era, do your best and do more.

All I can say is that we should do our best and leave the rest to fate. It doesn’t matter if we are called a saint.

This word didn't exist in that era.

But there is a key problem: giving blindly is not enough. No matter how rich Lou Bancheng is, if he gives too much, the higher-ups will naturally have something to say. In addition, facing three years of natural disasters, it would be useless even if the Lou family went bankrupt. First, they could not buy so much food, and second, they did not have enough money.

The same thing happened to Xu Damao. His material supply had reached its limit, so he had to think of a way. If he just provided relief, the landlords would not have any surplus food.

There was also a small episode. Director Wang presented Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe with certificates of outstanding youth on behalf of the Street Office. Li Huaide presented Xu Damao with a certificate of outstanding employee issued by the factory on behalf of the steel mill. The police station presented Xu Damao with a banner for saving the drowning victims. However, these things were better than nothing for Xu Damao, who had become the deputy factory director.

Unless it is a martyrs' home or a glorious home, etc., these awards will not be of much use during strong winds. However, they are still posted on a wall of the house. If Lou Xiao'e is happy, just hang them up.

----------------

In the evening, Xu Damao went to the moon as usual. Today he got a water lock +2 and drought resistance +1, which was very good. Xu Damao was in a good mood.

But when I went to Madagascar, my good mood turned sour.

During the day, the rebels launched a surprise attack. The New Moon Nation relied on its abundant weapons and ammunition to annihilate the enemy, killing more than 100 enemies. However, 32 of them died, 17 were seriously injured, and 5 were slightly injured...

They were still celebrating their victory, but Xu Damao couldn't laugh.

There were more than 5000 Madagascar rebels, and we only had more than 1000 militiamen. We killed 100 of them for every 32 we killed...

If they really follow the strategy of exchanging kills, the Crescent Kingdom will not be able to withstand it.

But what can we do? Although the rebels are a makeshift team, our side is not even as good as a makeshift team. There is no commander, no tactical guidance, everything is a mess... There are no professional talents.

As long as the rebels are willing to fight to the death, there will be absolutely nothing we can do.

Casar has helped to mediate, and being able to ensure that Madagascar's regular government forces do not get involved is already his limit. Ultimately, it still depends on the Crescent Kingdom itself.

Even if we give Li Mingmei and the others a military book now, it will be too late to learn the art of war, right?

And I don’t know how to do it myself.

Art of War, Art of War... Xu Damao suddenly had an idea in his mind -

We don’t know how to learn it properly, nor do we have the time to do so, but there are classic cases! We can learn it quickly!

So Xu Damao gathered together all the militiamen except those who were patrolling, treating the wounded, and making bullets, and took out projectors, speakers, screens and other things from the space.

He applied for these and got them from the logistics department, just in case he had to go to Qinjiatun during the New Year, or show a movie for everyone in the yard.

I didn’t expect that they would come in handy now - these are ready-made teaching aids!

"Today, let's take a look at a classic fighting method in our homeland during the eight-year war of resistance against Japan - tunnel warfare!"

So, while the movie was playing, Xu Damao told everyone the essence of tunnel warfare.

We must initially form a network of tunnels that connect every household and every village, which can provide concealment, transfer, fire prevention, waterproofing, and is convenient for combat, so as to become a strong underground fortress for long-term struggle against the rebels.

After the movie, all the Crescent National Guard soldiers were amazed!

Is this how peasants fight?

The farmers in our ancestral land are so strong!

Xu Damao also emphasized some safety issues that need to be paid attention to in tunnel warfare, and then briefly explained the sixteen-character formula of our army's guerrilla tactics - when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!

Anyway, this is all I can know. Whether they can understand it or not is their business.

After the movie was over, Xu Damao began to demonstrate to everyone how to dig a tunnel.

The Crescent Kingdom’s version of tunnel warfare and guerrilla warfare—officially begins!
