Chapter 79: The ship is important, but speed is even more important!

According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, wild boar stomach is a good medicine for treating stomach ailments, with excellent results.

With animal protection laws in place, wild boar stomachs are not easy to obtain.

Even if you pay a high price, there is no source of goods.

You might occasionally see someone selling wild boar meat or wild boar stomach at high prices on the roadside, but that's all a scam.

When the market regulators investigated, they found that it was all ordinary pork and pig stomach.

Therefore, this wild boar would be a rare and highly sought-after item in modern times.

Click~ Click!

Chen Huai'an took out his phone and took a bunch of pictures of the fresh wild boar meat and stomach, even including the pile of vegetables and fruits in the photos.

It has to be said that sometimes, time-traveling treasure chests are really convenient.

Not only can it bring the fruits and vegetables of the Republic of China era to the modern era, but it can also keep them fresh.

It looks the same way when it's put in as it looks when it's taken out.

In the private room, everything stops completely, and there's no need to worry about the food spoiling.

Therefore, only processed fresh meat can be stored; live animals cannot be stored.

Chen Huai'an photographed each of the supplies he brought, and also took pictures of all the antiques next to him.

With the organization's assistance, the antiques and medicinal herbs have been given exquisite packaging this time.

Unlike their previous minimalist style, there wasn't even a packaging box.

Moreover, the antique medicinal herbs were not only accompanied by exquisite boxes befitting their value, enhancing their prestige, but also had a piece of paper attached to them.

The origin and value of the item are described in detail, as well as its estimated value.

Clearly, the organization sought the assistance of knowledgeable experts to authenticate each antique and manually affix notes to them for the transaction.

This made it easier for Lin Wan to trade in the future world, so she wouldn't have to worry about being tricked into believing the goods were fake, and being unable to refute it because she didn't know anything about it.

Now that there are specialists to appraise them, we can simply sell them based on modern prices.

Chen Huai'an was taking pictures with his phone, his smile barely concealed.

With this shipment, the funding problem is solved.

I just bought a bulletproof vest and night vision goggles, and all my funds have already been reserved, so I dare not buy anything else.

I transferred over ten million yuan before, and I thought that having money in hand would give me confidence.

Who would have thought that money would disappear so quickly, and that a single transaction would empty my pockets?

Thinking about how we'll need to buy machinery and equipment to send over after Shanghai is liberated, that won't be enough to cover just ten or twenty million.

Now another batch of antiques has been delivered, including two high-priced items, so we have some confidence now.

Especially the two ginseng roots, which look just like ginseng dolls, are definitely century-old wild ginseng.

While taking photos, Chen Huai'an asked, "What task has the organization assigned us this time?"

As a veteran Party member who joined during my university years, my ideological awareness is very high.

They've changed their tune from calling it "your" task to calling it "our" task.

Lin Wan's pretty face turned serious when she heard about the task.

He subconsciously lowered his voice: "The Yangtze River Crossing Campaign is about to begin, and our army urgently needs a large number of ships. The organization hopes that we can buy as many ships as possible in modern times!"

If that's inconvenient, you can buy planks or wooden buckets.

Anything that can float on water will do.

The task sounds simple: anything that can float will do.

After all, most of the soldiers in the historical Yangtze River Crossing Campaign were northerners who were not good at swimming.

In order to cross the formidable Yangtze River, they used everything they could.

Even the door panels that could generate buoyancy were spontaneously donated by the people to the army to cross the river.

"Buy a boat..."

Chen Huai'an put down his phone, his brows furrowed.

It wasn't that I had any objections to the mission, but rather that I was reminded of the horrific scene during the river crossing.

According to the most authoritative data available, the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign resulted in over 60,000 casualties, including 10,500 deaths.

The main reason for such a large number of casualties was the lack of transportation.

The small boat sailing on the river appeared to the enemy as a moving target.

Although the local people spontaneously organized themselves to row boats for the soldiers across the river.

But manual rowing is still too slow.

They could only be exposed to artillery fire and machine gun fire.

This is still the speed of rowing; it was so slow that a large number of ships were pierced and sunk.

Warriors without boats, forced to use only doors or wooden barrels, move even slower.

Floating on the river, unable to even fight back, it pierced the hearts of countless people.

So Chen Huai'an frowned not because he had a problem with the mission, but because he was thinking about how to complete the mission better.

At the very least, we need to increase the ship's speed.

Even if it can't reach speeds of 200 kilometers per hour like those small boats in Southeast Asia, it's like it's about to take off.

However, you can't rely on manual rowing, as that would leave the boat stuck on the river for too long and make it a sitting duck!

Seeing his furrowed brows, Lin Wan's heart leaped into her throat.

He asked with concern, "Is this putting you in a difficult position? Modern regulations on ships are very strict. If it's difficult, we can think of another way."

From her perspective, ships are strictly controlled.

Every small boat must also be registered and managed.

Even small sampans are very difficult to acquire in large numbers.

Especially after learning about the Nationalist army's strict control over ships along the Yangtze River, they were somewhat worried about buying a boat.

The problem is that these are government-issued goods, making it impossible to purchase them in large quantities.

It should be noted that our army mobilized 120 million troops for this decisive battle!

It takes more than a few or dozens of ships to transport so many people across the Yangtze River.

Of course, in practice, there is no need to prepare ships to transport 120 million troops.

In modern times, all they need is enough ships to transport commandos.

Send the commando team over there to engage the enemy in close-quarters combat on land.

As long as a gap is torn open, the army can cross the river through that gap.

Chen Huai'an turned his head, revealing a warm smile, and said confidently, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Buying a boat is a minor issue; as long as it's not a large boat, it's easily resolved, and there's no need to worry about regulations.

He could find any furniture factory and produce small wooden boats at full capacity, as long as he was willing to spend the money.

However, the production cycle of wood is too long, making it not cost-effective.

If the hull is hit by machine gun fire, it will still have a large, leaky hole.

If hit by a shell, it will also be reduced to fragments.

Therefore, the ships to be purchased must be economical and have a large production capacity.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Huai'an made up his mind.

Buying a boat is not difficult.

However, the immediate priority is to secure funding.

Otherwise, it would be awkward if you had the ship and the shipping channels but couldn't even pay the deposit.

Chen Huai'an picked up his phone and sent out the pictures of the wild boar meat and vegetables he had just taken.

The caption read: "Pork and vegetables just delivered by a friend from the mountains, absolutely organic."

There were so many vegetables and wild boar meat that the two of them couldn't possibly finish them all.

We're selling some of them, not to make money.

Having acquired so many antiques, I never thought of making money from mountain produce and vegetables.

Its greatest value lies in expanding his network and showcasing his unconventional methods.
