The distribution of industrial resources is quite a headache, and the newly established provinces in the first half of the year are eager to send them every day, hoping that the imperial court can give them some support in industry.

In fact, all of these people are interested in the huge interests of the machinery factory, well, the machinery factory actually does not create much profit, but the jobs it brings are amazing.

And as long as the production capacity is there, even if it can't bring too much profit now, when the market is saturated today, the profits of the machinery factory will instantly rise countless steps.

The main business of Chang'an Machinery Factory is to provide supply and demand for the army, and all kinds of vehicles they manufacture are sent to the army, and the army only pays the cost and low processing costs.

At the end of the year, the production of 20,000 or 30,000 trucks, in addition to all the expenses, Chang'an Machinery Factory can really fall into the hands, I am afraid that there are not even 10,000 yuan.

The Luozhou Machinery Factory is the main supply of infrastructure, and the trucks are almost off the assembly line and drive away, and they are immediately driven to various construction sites, and then quickly put into the hot wave of construction.

Well, a quarter of the vehicles and equipment off the assembly line of Luozhou Machinery Factory got on the train directly, and then went straight to Chang'an, and then got off from Chang'an, and continued to go westward, saying that it was an infrastructure vehicle, but in fact these vehicles were provided to the construction corps, they had a large amount of work, arduous tasks, and the number of trucks could not be less.

This year alone, Chang'an Machinery Factory has provided it with 1,800 trucks, and Luozhou Machinery Factory has provided it with 5,000 trucks, nearly 7,000 trucks continue to run along the way, making the progress of the project further accelerated a lot, but this number is still far from enough, and it is planned that Luozhou Machinery Factory will still provide 5,000 trucks next year to be barely enough.

And this barely enough premise is that the railway will be completed within five years.

Although the army's demand is very large, according to the equipment data put forward by the Ministry of War and the increase in military personnel in the past two years, in fact, the army only needs 120,000 trucks at most to basically meet the demand, and there is even some leeway.

So far, Chang'an Machinery Factory has provided almost 50,000 trucks for the army, and according to the current production capacity, this problem can be solved in three or four years.

So what's next?

Two factories and one supply and demand infrastructure project?

With so much output, there will always be a time when all projects will be completed, and these equipment have always been in the hands of the imperial court, is it intended to be monopolized?

Although it can be, it has invisibly brought another huge problem to the imperial court, and the team is getting bigger and bigger, which is not conducive to management.

Therefore, some people started the idea of the civilian market, even if they do not need to engage in infrastructure, let them run the transportation is also okay, which is conducive to relieving the pressure of transportation, and at the same time can bring substantial profits to the machinery factory, why not?

But everyone didn't expect that Li Yuanji had given this order, but the location was chosen in Zhengzhou, the only place in Datang to complete the railway crossing.

Of course, there are doubts, but when the news is announced, these doubts disappear.

The machinery factory in Zhengzhou abolished the agricultural machinery factory and retained the truck factory, while adding a larger tank factory with an annual output of 5,000 units.

The current chariot project is temporarily produced in the Chang'an Machinery Factory, which also occupies part of the production capacity of the Chang'an Machinery Factory, and if it is moved to the Zhengzhou factory, it can release the production capacity of the Chang'an Machinery Factory.

At the same time, thanks to the geographical advantage of its cross-railroad, these vehicles can be quickly transported by rail to wherever they are needed, and even if they cannot be directly reached, they can be transported to the nearest place.

……

In the proving ground on the outskirts of Chang'an, two steel behemoths are roaring of their own, which looks very hideous, but compared to the previous version, it always feels weird.

"Jiang Gong, these two new vehicles look a lot slower than the previous ones, right?" Li Chengguang pointed to the steel giant beast in front of him and wondered.

He had knowledge of military equipment, but so far he did not know it thoroughly.

The problems of Nanyang should be explained, and there is nothing left for Li Chengguang, and it just so happened that the Tank Research Institute came up with a new tank, and Li Chengguang was sent by Li Yuanji to inspect.

This kind of inspection of military equipment alone is also the first time for a big girl to go on a sedan chair for Li Chengguang, and before that, Li Yuanji generally did not let Li Chengguang get too involved in this aspect.

However, as time went by, as the experience grew, with the communication with the ministers, and the conversation with his father, Li Chengguang also understood one thing, and his father had decided to gradually adapt to himself.

While ensuring his status as a prince, he must also allow himself to adapt to the life of the person in power as soon as possible, the purpose is naturally to ensure that he can take over at any time and ensure that the power can pass smoothly.

Every dynasty, every change of the old and the new, is the beginning of a turmoil, which can last only a year or two, and some last for more than a decade, or even longer, until the next change of power.

And the fundamental reason for this situation is that there is a huge gap in the ability of the new and old rulers, and the newcomers cannot immediately control the situation, and there is no old emperor to support them, so it is naturally easy to have problems, which is why there are so many ministers in history.

In the same way, the ministers are all old qualifications, once they help the new emperor stabilize the foundation, they are huge heroes, and all those who are dealt with by the new emperor are the kind of people who pretend to be forced by their old qualifications, and feel that they have made great contributions and should enjoy everything.

The reason for Li Yuanji's operation was not really told to Li Chengguang, so he could only walk, adapt, and learn according to Li Yuanji's arrangement.

Jiang Gong is Jiang Tian, at the beginning of the train steam unit apprentice, later out of the teacher, as the head of the truck group, and then the truck has completed the finalization, began to enter a new stage of production, so the truck group was handed over to Jiang Tian to bring out a potential newcomer, over the years the truck has also had some small changes, the overall performance has also improved a lot.

Now they are studying a new generation of trucks, but this research is really not of much significance, whether the new truck can be completed, to see whether the efficiency of the steam engine can be effectively improved, the steam engine is not their responsibility, so it is to study the new generation of trucks, in fact, it is still to improve the previous generation of trucks.

Jiang Tian took some of the apprentices and became independent, joining another part of the apprentices who graduated from the preparatory department, forming a new department, the Chariot Research Group.

The original chariot was made by Jiang Tian and them, but in fact, part of the truck was removed, comprehensive protection was added, and the battle position was increased, which could only be regarded as a temporary patchwork of miscellaneous goods.

And the two in front of him are new guys that Jiang Tian led everyone to work hard and worked hard for two and a half years.

Li Chengguang is still young, and his knowledge is still a little insufficient, especially in terms of professional knowledge.

So when he raised this seemingly amateurish and helpless question, Jiang Tian didn't react much, and he didn't dare to react much.

Over the years, he has also developed a bad habit that you can question my work or even cancel the project, it doesn't matter, but as long as you don't cancel the project, then don't interfere with my research.

It's not that he doesn't want to accept different opinions, on the contrary, Jiang Tian is very willing to accept opinions, but he doesn't accept the opinions of politicians who don't understand anything.

He knows very well that his products are made for the army, so he only accepts the opinions put forward by the army, this value is actually very correct, and the customer is not satisfied, of course he has to change.

"Your Highness, the speed of the new tank is indeed much slower than the previous version, about twice as much, and compared with the two, there is also a gap of more than 3,200 catties in quality, and the gap is that the body dealer is two millimeters thicker than before, so that the defense capability of the body has been well improved, and the cluster grenade composed of three grenades cannot play any destructive role in the tank itself.

In addition, the biggest change is the wheels, the previous generation uses the same wheel type as the truck, so the speed is naturally guaranteed, but this generation adopts the crawler type.

This is a concept that His Majesty once proposed, and together with the use of the previous generation of vehicles in various places, we decided to adopt this design method.

And because it has more parts in contact with the ground, the resistance is relatively large, although the speed of the tank is reduced, but this thing is good and bad, for example, the tank with a wheeled layout can only be equipped with a 30 mm gun at most, and no matter how large the caliber is, it will have a huge impact on the tank itself, and even overturn.

And with a tracked layout, the same design, with only this change, it was possible to mount a forty-mm gun.

In addition, its biggest highlight is that it is relatively strong through the ability, the previous generation of vehicles will always slip in rainy weather, or even fall into the mud, but this generation does not have this problem, will not slip, will not sink in, can be easily driven out.

As for the speed, this minister really has no choice, he can only wait for the steam unit to research a steam engine with the same specifications and more powerful power, and then replace it, before that, unless it is to actively reduce the defense force, otherwise, there will not be much improvement in power. ”

Li Chengguang nodded, he had a preliminary understanding of the two big guys in front of him who were very slow, although he still felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, he ran slowly, and even looked a little bloated, but Jiang Tian really couldn't find any big flaws.

True, the caliber of artillery has increased, the thickness of the armor has increased, the ability to pass has increased, and only a weakening of power has been paid, which does not seem to be an unacceptable result.
