There was a sudden silence in the Great Hall, and the elders looked at each other and exchanged opinions with each other, leaving only the whispering sound of rustling.

"So the whole thing about today's meeting is to decide whether to declare war on the Medenors?" At this time, Guo Hao was the first to stand up.

Guo Hao has been arranged to work in the ordinary labor group since he landed, this veteran who has been a salesman and a courier has come to the New World and has not been able to find a suitable position for himself, but fortunately, he has received a good education in the old world, even if it is worse, it is far behind the natives of this time and space more than a dozen streets, so he has recently served as a sales representative in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, specializing in the sales management of light industrial products.

The enemy hates the enemy, the enemy and the earth, and the only one hates, and the war is the most learned

"Yes," Yang Minghuan nodded and said, "I know that war is a relatively new and attractive hot word for many elders, and this time it was the Medeno people who first attacked us by sneak attack, but war is war after all, once war is declared, then how to end the war, where to end the war, it is up to the victor to decide." ”

"Are you saying you have doubts about whether we can be the victors?" Someone below raised a questioning voice, and everyone followed the prestige, it was Xiao Mingwei, who sat in the seat of the military committee and said loudly, "War is war after all, and war is a competition between national strength, and it is also a fight between fighting wills." Executive Committee Yang, you say this, you don't trust us soldiers who defend the Senate with their lives! ”

"That is, a war is a war! Now that the people of Maidno have been slapped in the face, what reason do we have to be beaten here and not fight back? One of the patriarchs shouted, "That's right! We have advanced technology, what are we afraid of them doing? Go straight up and play it with your face! ”

"That's right! We have airplanes, we have 8154, and now we have airships, do we still have to be afraid of them? Immediately, another veteran shouted, but there was a person standing up in the seat of the military committee, and this was Yuan Zhenli, who was known as the first person in the Air Force. He patted the dust on his military uniform unhurriedly, brewed his words, and said loudly into the microphone in front of him, "I know that the entire Senate has high expectations for the Air Force, yes, the Air Force has played a role in all foreign wars, but our current Air Force has a strong constraint, that is, the lack of long-term air capability." Because of our engine problems, whether it is the Mozu attack aircraft or the Mosquito aircraft that we are equipped with, the time in the air is not long, and because of the design of the fuel tank, it cannot do relatively large maneuvers. Of course, one of the biggest problems is the lack of fuel. Now that the fuel supply is dominated by the maritime sector, we lack enough fuel for training and operations, even for airships. ”

"Airships don't have high fuel requirements, do they?" Someone asked, "The airship is mainly held in the air by the buoyancy of hydrogen, and there is no need to use an engine to generate lift, right?" ”

"Even if the airship lifts off through hydrogen buoyancy, it still needs a propeller to generate propulsion," Yuan Zhenli was a little speechless, "And you are not unimpressed by the disaster of the Hindenburg, every day with the hydrogen that can roast you, and the engine that can produce power by combustion provides propulsion, buddy, if you don't feel afraid, I feel afraid." ”

The ship is not cool, the enemy hates Mo and is alone

"Hahahaha" The elders laughed one after another, but no one laughed out loud from the light industry entrance, Yang Canling sat there with a blue face, and involuntarily touched his stomach.

The ship department is not cool, the enemy hates Mo and makes trouble, and he is not alone, "Now I'm talking about the navy!" Bu Zhongfu said a little dissatisfied, "Let's go on to talk about the navy, okay?" ”

"This problem is still being studied by our industrial mouth," Xiao Jing on the stage hurriedly said, "Our industrial mouth now needs to achieve more goals, Liu Yeqiang, who was originally in charge of technology, was trapped in the Wuchao mainland and could not come back, and we were a little sluggish in the process of climbing the science and technology tree in a short period of time." ”

Sun Ke is not cool, Sun Chazhan is in trouble, and the sail gang is examined

"Well, I know this, our airship has now accumulated some experience in many test flights during this time, and it should be able to go north to pick up the veterans trapped in the Wu Dynasty in the near future." Yuan Zhenli paused slightly, "However, if the airship is really to be used as a formal technical equipment, the problems that must be solved are replacing flammable hydrogen with helium, and using batteries and electric motors to drive it." ”

"So how much of your Air Force's existing military equipment can be put into combat immediately?" Du Yande hurriedly asked, Yuan Zhenli thought for a while, and replied, "There are three of the Baizu attack aircraft that can be put into battle, and the Mosquito aircraft can be put into battle." In the case of airships, the weapons used require training, so it will take a while before they can enter battle. ”

"Don't you hundred-tongues have five?" Sun Wenbin asked curiously, "How come only three of the five planes can be put into battle?" ”

"Quite simply, there are not enough pilots." Yuan Zhenli shrugged his shoulders, "At this stage, the way to train pilots is quite primitive, and the speed of training is not high, the three planes I mentioned can be put into battle immediately, mainly the pilots of the Baizu Bird, only three of them can guarantee that the plane can land on the runway and take off again." During this period, due to the lack of fuel, our flight training has also been reduced, and the combat effectiveness of the Air Force cannot be brought into full play until sufficient training time is ensured. And because of the materials provided by the metallurgical department, the quality of the spare parts we processed could not meet the needs, and there was already a Mozu engine cylinder that had a pull cylinder due to quality problems, and it needed to be replaced before it could be put back into use. ”

"And what about the Navy?" Du Yande hurriedly looked at Tang Xunliang, Tang Xunliang nodded and stood up to report, "We have two Victory-class capital ships in service now, one sail destroyer, and many Fu ships or Guangchuan frigates, but at this moment there is only one sail destroyer and two frigates in the harbor. The capital ship Independence went to the ocean of Luzon to patrol according to the interception plan, and is still waiting for the order of the Joint Staff Committee to return to its home port, while the capital ship Victory was forced to enter the reef area to avoid the battle because of the battle, and it will need to complete the U-turn and return to the port of the East tomorrow morning. Even the destroyers that are now in the harbor have been seriously damaged in many places, and more than half of their personnel have been lost, and it will take some time to repair and re-equip their personnel. ”

"Then don't we have 8154 cruisers and destroyers?" Tian Feihu stood up, although he was a doctor, he had always been full of love for military affairs, and he knew a lot about the military power of the Senate. "Why can't these ships go into battle?"

The enemy is far away, and the single ship is a distant ghost

The ship is far from cool, and the ball catches the sun

"Alas," Tang Xunliang sighed, "the problem is similar to that of the Air Force, lack of fuel, our current fuel is mainly to give priority to ensuring the use of Dongfeng, and Dongfeng is not allowed to use heavy oil, so we can only compete with all departments that need fuel for diesel." ”

"There is a reason why the Dongfeng does not allow the use of heavy oil," Gu Qingqian stood up at this time, "It's not that we don't allow the Dongfeng to use heavy oil, but the pollution caused by heavy oil is large, and it will also produce very heavy oil pollution, which makes the main engine of the Dongfeng need to be cleaned for a long time." ”

"But now it is likely that a full-scale war will start immediately," Tang Xunliang said with some unconvincing, "everything must make way for war, and your Ministry of Commerce and Trade should adjust the priority of the Dongfeng to ensure the priority supply of military fuel first." ”

"That's right," Gu Qingqian nodded, "Theoretically, that's true, but in fact I'm not prepared to provide enough fuel to the navy." ”

"Huh?" "What did she say?" "Why?" Many questioning voices immediately rang out, and everyone looked at Gu Qingqian, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

She nodded calmly, "That's right, I don't plan to provide enough fuel to the Navy. Suddenly there was an uproar, and many navy veterans even jumped up, Gu Qingqian made a stop gesture and continued to say loudly, "Of course there is a reason for this, do you remember?" Even before construction began in Hong Kong, we planned to have the design and manufacture of the large transport vessels, and we also ordered two sets of steam engines from the Heavy Industry Laboratory. But the Navy gave these two steam engine systems away in the name of priority coastal defense, remember? ”

As she spoke, Gu Qingqian glanced at the other end of the navy seats with her eyes, and the navy veterans who were stared at by her eyes dodged their eyes one after another. As Gu Qingqian spoke, everyone was reminded of the recent conflict between the Ministry of Commerce and Trade and the Ministry of the Navy, which led to the separation of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade with the Navy and the Marine Corps.

"Because you have misappropriated the steam engine and drive system originally used for large transport ships," Gu Qingqian did not intend to accept it at all, and continued to pursue the victory, "resulting in the design and manufacturing of large transport ships in the entire Senate system having to be postponed, and in order to make up for the transportation of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, as well as your navy and marines, we had to use the Dongfeng." If the steam engine system and drive system designed for large transport ships were installed without your interference, it would be at worst in the outfitting sea trials. However, because of your tossing, no one from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade and the Navy has been able to get a favor, not to mention the lack of transportation capacity of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and your Navy is even short of fuel. ”

The enemy is not unrelenting, and the complex learns to be cold and strange

The Great Hall of the Enemy was suddenly quiet, and the elders looked at each other and exchanged opinions with their eyes, leaving only the sound of whispering.

Several veterans of the shipyard were silent, they really couldn't be clearer, the embezzled drive system was not suitable for the Shengli-class hull at all, and it needed to be overhauled in the hull structure, which was quite large, and the conversion time of the two Shengli-class ships that were originally intended to be converted as sailboats was extended a lot, according to their own estimates, the two Shengli-class would take at least three months to complete the installation. With the misappropriation of the drive system, the two large transport ships under construction are also suspended at the moment, and the equipment used by the Heavy Industry Laboratory to make steam engines for them is still there, but because they have a strict schedule in the production arrangement, and the production resources are also allocated according to the production plan given by the Planning Commission, the production and manufacturing of the steam engine has to be delayed, so even if the two large transport ships in the dry dock have completed their hulls, they still have to stop work because they need to wait for the steam engine to be in place.

"We still have some fuel at this stage," Gu Qingqian said eloquently, "enough to ensure that the Dongfeng will sail back and forth from Hong Kong, but the problem is that the oil is still waiting for the ship to depart in the warehouse of Dongfang Port at the moment, and now we are discussing whether to start a full-scale war, which will inevitably bring the same troublesome problem, this batch of oil cannot be transported to Hong Kong for the Dongfeng to sail back." We still have a large amount of means of production and grain still waiting to be shipped in warehouses in Hong Kong. ”

"Grain is not a big problem now," Cheng Jun of the Planning Commission hurriedly stood up and said, "We harvested grain once last month, and together with the grain we usually purchase, we can now ensure the needs of tens of thousands of people in the entire Dongfang Port for more than a year, and there is still corn to harvest this month and potatoes next month, according to the estimation of Executive Committee Member Sun Wenbin, it should be enough to ensure that by the end of next year." ”

"Yes, food is not an important issue for the time being," Sun Wenbin hurriedly took Cheng Jun's words and said, "The new fields opened up by the Council of Agriculture this year, especially after the Japanese joined, are more than six times as many as last year, and now we have to worry that there are not enough seeds to sow seeds, not that there are not enough fields." In addition to our own fields, our Committee of Agriculture has also contracted almost the entire farmland in the Anyun area. In the case of the operation of the fertilizer plant, although some farmland cannot guarantee that there is enough fertilizer for fertilization, the farmland that has been fertilized is growing quite well. Speaking of this, he smiled mysteriously, "In addition to food, we also have made great progress in livestock breeding, from June to now, the livestock breeding center has cultivated a large number of birds, the number of chickens and ducks is increasing day by day, we will also cooperate with the bank to promote the 'Hope Project', that is, through the breeding industry auxiliary loans, the breeding poultry through the loan to the farmers who need to breed, they by handing in the eggs of the breeding poultry to complete the loan repayment." According to our survey, there should be enough supply of poultry eggs in the port of Vostochny in the next year, and there will be no need to be overstretched as it is now. ”

"Only chicken?" An old man made a dissatisfied voice, but from his tone, there seemed to be a hint of expectation. Sun Wenbin shook his head and said, "Of course, not only poultry, we can also provide loans for pigs and sheep, but the repayment method of these livestock is still being discussed by the Committee of Agriculture and the bank, and the results should be discussed before the end of this year." ”

"Now I'm talking about the Navy!" Bu Zhongfu said a little dissatisfied, "Let's go on to talk about the affairs of the navy, okay?" ”
