Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

"This phone looks so small, how can it even take pictures?"

"The photos are not only in color, but also incredibly clear!"

Looking at the photos Xia Weiwei showed, both Division Commander He and Deputy Division Commander Nie were somewhat surprised.

However, Commander Liu, Deputy Commander Xu, and others had all seen it before, so they were not too surprised.

"Besides taking photos, you can also take videos!"

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she demonstrated the video recording and playback process.

Deputy Division Commander Nie said, "This gift is indeed very nice, but we don't need it!"

"Commendations, sirs!"

Xia Weiwei looked at everyone and said, "Do you really think that Comrade Hongwei gave you these phones just for your entertainment? That's just a side effect!"

As she spoke, Xia Weiwei took out a telescope and phone holder from a pile of boxes.

Then, she fixed the telescope phone clip to the eyepiece of the telescope and then fixed the phone to it.

Xia Weiwei turned on the camera and pointed her phone's camera at the center of the telescope's field of view.

"See? This phone can connect to the telescope."

Xia Weiwei handed the connected phone and binoculars to the group of leaders, saying, "You only need to adjust the position of the rear camera and the focal length of the binoculars to take clear pictures of distant scenes through your phone."

At this point, Xia Weiwei asked again, "Gentlemen, do you still think this cell phone is useful?"

"It works! It's incredibly useful!"

"With this, we won't have to rely entirely on memory anymore."

"Comrade Hongwei is truly a timely help, bringing us so many good things!"

"..."

At this moment, all the leaders were extremely excited.

In the past, they would go to the front lines in person, constantly using binoculars to reconnoiter the enemy's forward positions, then have the communications officer record the information and immediately issue orders.

However, this behavior is extremely dangerous; one wrong move and you could be beaten to death or injured.

On the battlefield, the deaths and injuries of senior commanders have a significant impact on the course of the battle and morale.

Now, with this powerful telescope and mobile phone, they can detect enemy activity from a distance, photograph it, and study and discuss it together.

This will not only make it easier for them to direct the seating, but it will also be safer than before.

"Comrade Xia!"

Deputy Division Commander Xu suddenly remembered something and said, "All of these you brought are electrical appliances. It seems we don't have much electricity to use. Two of the walkie-talkies you brought back earlier have already run out of power."

Commander Liu, his face also serious, said, "Xia, take a look over there. Can you solve our electricity problem?"

Electrical appliances are heavily reliant on power sources; without electricity, they are essentially useless.

As for their radio stations, the larger ones required two soldiers to operate them, using hand-cranked generators to solve the power generation problem.

Portable radios, on the other hand, require dry cell batteries; without them, the radio will malfunction.

They mainly obtained these dry cell batteries through capture and purchase by underground personnel.

Because it was so inconvenient, those fighting on the front lines preferred hand-cranked generators.

After all, a hand-cranked generator only requires manpower to generate electricity.

It wasn't until 46 that the liberated area had its first power station.

The power station was originally named after Commander Liu, but was later renamed Lucheng West White Rabbit Power Plant.

Upon hearing what Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Xu said, Xia Weiwei couldn't help but smile.

She said to everyone, "Comrades, don't worry about this issue. Comrade Hongwei has already taken it into consideration."

夏薇薇指着一旁堆积的货物，说：「这里面就有20台3.5千瓦的迷你便携汽油发电机，还有4台19千瓦的汽油发电机，以及10个200W的小型太阳能发电机。」

"In addition to these generators, I also brought 20 4200Wh batteries. Each battery contains about 4.2 kWh of electricity, which can charge a mobile phone nearly 200 times or a walkie-talkie more than 280 times."

"Comrade Hongwei even considered this?"

"Can one battery charge that much power?"

"With these batteries and generators, our soldiers won't need to crank our radios by hand anymore, right?"

Upon hearing this, the leaders immediately became excited.

With storage batteries and generators, these "country bumpkins" could also enter the electric era.

With electricity, they can do even more things.

"Xia, how much will all these things cost Hongwei?"

Political Commissar Zhang suddenly said, "Hongwei is also a farmer's son. We can't let him lose money to support us."

"yes!"

Commander Liu nodded and asked Xia Weiwei, "Comrade Xia, did you hand over all those large and small yellow croakers and silver dollars to Comrade Hongwei?"

"I've left everything to him!"

Xia Weiwei said with a smile, "Don't worry, leaders, those things will be extremely valuable in the future!"

"In the future world, a gram of gold will be worth more than 900 yuan, and those gold bars will be antique gold with collectible value, and their price will be even higher."

"In addition, there are Yuan Shikai silver dollars, which are also antique coins. Even the most common Yuan Shikai silver dollar is worth about 1000 yuan over there, while this mobile phone is only worth about 4000 yuan, which is equivalent to four Yuan Shikai silver dollars."

"What did you say? One Yuan Shikai silver dollar is equivalent to 1000 yuan?"

Political Commissar Zhang exclaimed in shock, "Doesn't this mean that in the future, one Yuan Shikai silver dollar could buy almost 400 jin of rice and flour? We can only buy 25 jin here!"

He felt that the gap was simply terrifying.

"Sir, what I just mentioned was only the most ordinary Yuan Shikai silver dollar!"

Xia Weiwei made a startling statement: "If it's a special Yuan Shikai silver dollar, for example, those silver dollars that the Red Army urgently produced when it was in the Central Soviet Area of ​​Jiangxi Province, silver dollars with 'Soviet' printed on them."

"Of the three Soviet-era Yuan Shikai silver dollars we sold, one sold for 60, one for 280 million, and the other for 142 million."

"Furthermore, a Yuan Shikai silver dollar with the words 'Gansu' printed on it sold for 24 yuan, and another for 387 million yuan!"

"We sold just these five special Yuan Shikai silver dollars for 893 million RMB!"

"puff!"

Commander Liu's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "How can it be so expensive?"

"Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!"

Political Commissar Zhang also looked incredulous.

Both are Yuan Shikai silver dollars, but those with inscriptions are worth tens or hundreds of times more.

They had all heard Xia Weiwei talk about future prices; the cheapest car would only cost a little over 20,000 yuan.

Couldn't that money buy hundreds of cars?

Five Yuan Shikai silver dollars could be exchanged for hundreds of cars—it's unbelievable no matter how you look at it!

"Scarcity drives up value!"

Xia Weiwei said, "These Yuan Shikai silver dollars were already few in number, and later a large number were recalled for recasting. After nearly a century of vicissitudes, even fewer have survived, which is why they are so valuable!"

At this point, she couldn't help but look at the group of leaders and say to them, "Comrades, I hope that the entire army and the entire Soviet area should find these special Yuan Shikai silver dollars so that we can sell them for more money."
