There is no other metal in the world that has intervened in the economic life of human beings in such a way as gold and has had such a significant impact on human society.

Regardless of the country, gold has always played a very important role.

Li Yunlong looked at the gold mine extracted in front of him, and then looked at the gold mine not far in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but be excited and excited, and he was full of pride.

"With this gold mine, I believe that our independent regiment will be even more ~ powerful!"

War is very costly, after all, every bullet fired is a waste of money.

During the Anti-Japanese War, guns, ammunition, artillery, etc. were very expensive, for example, the unit price of Mauser 98K was 30 to 50 US dollars at that time, 90 to 140 legal dollars for French purchases, and 50 US dollars per thousand rounds for 79 pointed bullets. The Mauser 10 semi-automatic version contains 100 silver dollars each.

In terms of heavy weapons, it was even more terrifying, with a German-made 75mm gun reaching $12,000 and $25 to $30 per shell. A British-made M1931 amphibious tank costs up to $38,500.

An ordinary fighter was as high as $40,000, and $40,000 was a terrifying price at that time.

Therefore, a war is a competition for the strength of a country, and it is a waste of money to fight it.

Just after Li Yunlong briefly checked the situation of the gold mine, Zhao Gang arrived on horseback.

Zhao Gang saw the situation of the mine and the gold ore excavated, and said with a smile on his face: "Lao Li, we don't need to worry about this military expenditure anymore!" ”

Because of the boss's delegation of power, all the military expenses of the independent regiment need to be solved by themselves, and now there are thousands of people up and down the independent regiment, and the problem of food alone is a huge amount.

But now that there are gold mines, many of these problems have been solved.

"Lao Zhao, I really didn't expect God to give me such a big gift!" Li Yunlong grinned and said: "With this gold mine, my independent regiment will become the army of the rich land, hahaha!" ”

"Besides, I can do it well."

In Li Yunlong's plan, it is not just the big and small devils who resist Japan, but also develop ultra-modern military industries, such as advanced weapons and equipment, aircraft carriers, fighter planes, and so on, but now the entire country's military industry is very backward, and the equipment is very poor, even if Li Yunlong has the completed production process and drawings, it cannot be manufactured with the current technology and equipment.

If we want to develop the military industry and manufacture advanced weapons and equipment, then it will be a huge amount of expenditure and a huge cost.

Before this, Li Yunlong really couldn't think of it, after all, it would cost such a huge amount of money, and a penny could stump a hero, and many things could not be solved without money.

But now it seems that with this gold mine, then the most military industrial plan can be realized, after all, there are so many super modern weapons in the arsenal system, and there are even more future black technology weapons.

"Anyway, this is good news for our independent regiment!" Zhao Gang is also in a good mood.

Li Yunlong turned around and looked at the third battalion commander next to him and said: "Third battalion commander, you listen to me, the guards of this gold mine will be handed over to your three battalions, if your three battalions can't even defend a gold mine, then military law will deal with it!" ”

When the commander of the third battalion heard this, he immediately put his feet together, and said loudly: "Commander, you can rest assured, our three battalions are sworn to defend this mine, if this mine falls into the hands of the enemy, then it means that all the soldiers and brothers of our three battalions have died!" ”

"Soon, worthy of our independent regiment!" Li Yunlong patted the third battalion commander on the shoulder and said, "This mine will be handed over to you!" ”

"Yes!" The commander of the third battalion saluted!

In fact, Li Yunlong was not worried that this mine would be lost at all, first, this gold mine was very close to Ping'an County, and the main force could reach it within half an hour of a charge.

Secondly, it is not a matter of one or two days to occupy the mine, it takes a long time to develop the gold mine, and even if the mine is occupied by the enemy, the independent regiment is fully capable of retaking the mine again.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang briefly inspected the mine, and by the way, arranged the security situation of the mine.

Zhao Gang walked and walked, looked at the gold mine and said: "I didn't expect that there are gold mines in Shanxi, if there are two more gold mines, our military strength will rise a notch!" ”

Shanxi?

Mine?

That's right!

When Zhao Gang said this, Li Yunlong suddenly realized: What is the most in Shanxi? It's a mine!

Before the crossing, Li Yunlong heard the label of 'Shanxi Coal Boss', and many times, Shanxi Coal Boss was the name of a local tyrant.

............

The minerals in a region are increasing with the progress of science and technology, because the exploration and discovery technology has improved, and many previously unknown mines can be discovered, such as the current anti-Japanese period, the scientific and technological level of the whole country is backward, so there are not many mines found.

Li Yunlong remembered that Shanxi is rich in mineral resources, and 120 kinds of minerals have been discovered, of which 62 kinds of resources have been identified, and minerals with resource advantages include coal, coalbed methane, and so on, among them, coal reserves of 276.785 billion tons, coalbed methane reserves of 182.516 billion cubic meters, in addition to this, it is also the main production area of gold mines.

If some mines in the defense area can be developed, then it will be a windfall for the independent regiment.

"Lao Zhao, you woke me up with a word!" Li Yunlong said with great ambition: "I know that there are many mines in Shanxi, and I decided to organize a mine survey team to dig up the mines in our defense area!" ”
