These weapons and equipment, large and small, are all high-tech technical equipment.

If you want to ensure quality and quantity, ordinary skilled workers in the Republic of China will not be able to produce, so let Zhi Brain calculate the production speed of ants, such as coordinating the production of aircraft, artillery and tanks, and the supply of ammunition.

The answer was that it would take more than 40 days.

Liu Yun then reported to Lao Jiang with a smile, "The students have calculated that with the current production capacity of the West Sichuan Arsenal, in the next month, it can provide 300 fighters, 300 122 mm heavy guns, and 200 150 mm heavy guns, including the ammunition that matches them."

It was so crisp and refreshing, which surprised Lao Jiang and others.

Jiang Baili, who was delicate, found something wrong, so he asked with a slight frown, "Yicheng, didn't you say that there are still tanks?" Your tanks in western Sichuan are very advanced, why don't you send some? ”

Tank?

Lao Jiang was also stunned, he has always been intoxicated with the German I. and II tanks, and he has only heard of the tanks in western Sichuan, but he has never seen the true face of Lushan, but Mr. Jiang Baili has always been cautious, once he said that the tank in western Sichuan is good, then the tank in western Sichuan is really good.

Regarding the questions of Lao Jiang and others, Commander Liu did not answer them positively.

He explained from a different angle, "Shanghai and Nanjing, where the water network is dense and the soil is soft, are not suitable for heavy tanks at all, and the armored troops of the Nanjing Teaching Corps have always been only equipped with light tanks."

Jiang Baili couldn't help but sigh slightly, but Xue Yue and Bai Chongxi looked at each other.

However, Lao Jiang didn't believe in this evil, and immediately asked, "Yicheng, that, how heavy is your western Sichuan tank?" ”

Commander Liu looked around, and then lowered his head and quietly explained, "It is the tank jointly developed with the Germans a few years ago, the Type I tank, which is the current No. 3 tank in Germany, weighing 38 tons, and the Type II tank, which is the current No. 4 tank in Germany, weighing 24.5 tons."

How heavy is it? Lao Jiang was dumbfounded.

Judging from the topography of Nanjing and Shanghai, it is indeed not suitable for this kind of heavy tank to gallop, because whether it is roads and bridges, or transportation networks, at the beginning of the design, such a heavy overload problem was not considered at all, especially the load design of many bridges, which is only five or ten tons.

Once the heavy tank is driven, the fun will be great, not only the tank itself will be destroyed, but also the accompanying soldiers will suffer.

However, Jiang Baili had another opinion, he believed that heavy tanks in the city could be used as mobile batteries, whether defending or attacking, they could achieve miraculous results, and the Sino-German joint army stationed in Luoyang and Xuzhou, almost all mechanized troops, was in need of such cutting-edge tanks.

Not to mention the 38-ton heavy tank.

After thinking about it again, Liu Yun promised to provide a simplified version of the Joint II tank within a month, and the number was 200 units.

The so-called simplification means that the composite armor was removed, and the alloy steel plate was thickened, so the weight increased to 28 tons, the engine power was 500 horsepower, the cruising speed was 42 km, the thickness of the frontal armor was 80 mm, and the thickness of the armor behind the sides was 60 mm.

There are three reasons why he simplifies this, one is that he does not want to offend the Germans immediately.

On the surface, the Germans said that they had already announced the withdrawal of experts, but in fact they were just screaming fiercely, and the number of experts who have returned to Germany so far is still very small, and Hitler is not a good man or a good woman, and the reason why he is so affectionate is mainly that China has not yet revealed to the outside world the real inside story of Sino-German cooperation.

Therefore, Germany does not want to force the Chinese dog to jump over the wall in a hurry, in exchange for British and American aid, indiscriminately breaking the news.

The second is that the anti-tank capability of the Japanese army is too strong, although most of their own tanks are backward, they are only slightly better than the German Type I and II tanks, but they are far inferior to the III and IV. tanks, even if the simplified joint Type II tanks can sweep the battlefield.

Therefore, Commander Liu still retains the genuine yin.

The third is for the yin people.

Who is yin?

The Japanese devils are naturally the first to bear the brunt, these little devils like to be careful and budget-conscious, and they don't like waste the most, Liu Yun wants to see how much the little devils are saving, for example, they just cracked the simplified version of the defense, and they met the genuine goods, and that expression must be very rich.

The second is Yin, Britain, the United States, France, the Soviet Union and other countries.

After 14 years of bloody resistance against Japanese aggression in China, they sat on a small bench and watched the excitement, and they still engaged in some kind of "appeasement policy", and it was no secret that Sino-German joint research was carried out.

When Hitler's blitzkrieg was launched, only to find out that the previous tank data were all fakes, that expression would definitely be richer.

When all the problems were solved, Liu Yun and Lao Jiang and others were all happy, and in the next month or two, some of the West Sichuan Arsenal was busy.

Fortunately, before Commander Liu, the orders with various warlords were almost completed, not to mention the tanks and artillery on the list, the western Sichuan troops have already equipped some of them, if they really can't produce them, they will be directly replaced and handed over to the front line for use.

As for the payment for the purchase of 300 warplanes, 500 heavy artillery, 200 tanks, and their corresponding ammunition, Liu Yun did not take the initiative to raise the issue of the purchase of arms and materials in consideration of how difficult the state affairs were, and hoped that the Nanjing Nationalist Government would consciously do well.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Weizao seemed to have amnesia.

It wasn't until Commander Liu was about to say goodbye and return to western Sichuan that Mr. Jiang Baili secretly grabbed him and gave him a small note very carefully, which read, "IOU, hereby, the government of the Republic of Nanjing purchased a number of arms from western Sichuan due to wartime needs, and now owes a certain amount of money, Jiang Zhongzheng."

Commander Liu also became more and more troubled the more he watched.

The amount of payment is correct, and it is all gold-denominated, but there is something wrong, and the time of repayment is not written at all.

Isn't this deliberately tricking people?

Some people sadly thought that this IOU was more ruthless than playing a white note, which hurt everyone's feelings too much, but fortunately, they figured it out in a blink of an eye, because the war in North China was worrying, and the Battle of Songhu was about to break out, and there were too many places that needed money, and the Nanjing Nationalist Government had no money to spare.

Of course, treasury gold is still available.

That is the money of the Nanjing government, unless it is a last resort, Lao Jiang and others do not dare to use the slightest, if they want to give it to western Sichuan, they feel panicked, do they want to just start the war, they will announce the depreciation of the fiat currency into waste paper, and the "western Sichuan iron coin" will unify China.

However, Liu Yun is a military tycoon, and he also established the West Sichuan Iron Coin Economic Circle, which has become the authoritative currency of the southwest.

In a sense, money is just a bunch of abstract symbols for him, forget it, everyone is for the anti-Japanese resistance, others fight with their lives, what is the problem with him only paying money, so after collecting the white strips, he smiled slightly, and then flew back to the ferry steel mill.

With the influx of a large number of foreign population, Liangshan Dukou Town has been upgraded to a county-level city.

Liu Yun was too lazy to manage it specifically, so he asked Pang Xuezhong to serve as the county magistrate of the county, and concurrently serve as the director of the ferry iron and steel plant, and reorganized the second brigade in western Sichuan into the ferry garrison brigade, with brigade commander Ding Xinggui concurrently serving as the commander of the ferry garrison.

At the same time, in view of the special status of Xichang County, after reporting to Nanjing and the city capital, it was upgraded to Xichang City.

The Xichang Military Academy was immediately established, with the Air Force and Armored Corps under it, which became the training base of the Western Sichuan Air Force system, as well as a special experimental site for tanks and heavy artillery, with Commander Liu serving as the president.

Yin Changheng, the commissioner of Daliang Mountain, lives in seclusion in the mountains all the year round, and there are no generals available under him.

Even because of Yin Lao's personal moral cleanliness and his reluctance to promote local snakes such as Deng Wenting, he had to hastily reorganize the Third Brigade of Western Sichuan into the Daliangshan Garrison Brigade, with Zhang Xinghua concurrently serving as the garrison commander.

Fortunately, Liu Yun's son-in-law is more sensible.

The First Wing of the Western Sichuan Air Force has been moved to Daliangshan, officially renamed the Liangshan Air Force Corps, and the station has been changed from Maozhou City to Xichang City, shouldering the air security task of the entire Daliangshan, with Yin Qinlan's cousin Yin Yihang as the commander of the Air Force.

A lot of things are all about moving the whole body.

Since the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of Western Sichuan moved to Daliangshan, and even the number was completely changed, if it was called a certain brigade in Western Sichuan in the future, it would indeed be a bit unworthy of its name, and Commander Liu had no choice but to report to Chairman Liu Xiang to formally merge the 2nd and 3rd Garrison Brigades of the Fucheng Railway into the Independent Division of Western Sichuan.

No matter what happens in the future, the basic framework of the Western Sichuan Independent Division still needs to be there.

In July 1937, the West Sichuan Air Force Academy ushered in a new graduation ceremony.

More than 1,200 people graduated this time.

Among them, there are more than 60 ace students, nearly double the number of the previous session, more than 260 elite students, more than 330 ordinary students, and only more than 500 ground service graduates in the maintenance and auxiliary category.

Thinking about every flight student, it has become a delusion to equip a ground crew, which has led to the ground crew being hyped up at a sky-high price.

Among the newly graduated trainees from western Sichuan, except for a small number of graduates who went to Daliangshan with Commander Yin Yihang for training, most of the remaining graduates were absorbed by the western Sichuan Air Force and formed the second and third wings of the western Sichuan Air Force.

Among them, the second wing is the bomber wing, and the third wing is the fighter wing, and the two wing commanders are Commander Liu's protégés, Li Weili and Jiang Chongguang.

In the past year, Li Weili and Jiang Chongguang, except for occasional part-time work at the Air Force Academy, have been practicing with their two aunts.

Unexpectedly, these two goods have a deep fortune, and have now reached the late stage of refining, not only the physical fitness has improved a lot, and the flight technology has also gone to a big step, it is said that they have fought all over the invincible opponents of the West Sichuan Air Force, known as the "West Sichuan Air Force Twin Heroes", so they were recommended to be the new Air Force Wing Commander.

In addition, Kong Yuling also recommended a related household.

The surname Song is Yusan, nicknamed Jack, also known as "Song Jack", is the distant nephew of Sister Ai Ling, it is said that he was a captain in the Hawaiian Air Force in the United States, and he returned to China to join the army after being personally mobilized by Mrs. Jiang Meiling, but his parents were unwilling to let him go to the battlefield, so he relied on the relationship and transferred to the "safest" Western Sichuan Air Force.

Although they were related to each other, Commander Liu still found an opportunity to interview him in person.

Song Jack is slightly older than Liu Yun, about thirty years old, but his enthusiasm is still hot, and his flying skills are quite good, so he was asked to go to the Air Force Teaching Wing, temporarily serving as Yin Qinlan's executive deputy officer, and by the way, he became a part-time instructor at the Air Force Academy.

After finishing the affairs of the steel plant in Dukou Town, Liu Yun returned to western Sichuan County.

He summoned the old troops and cronies one by one, and after a period of greetings and encouragement, he immediately ordered them to be ready to go to the front line of resistance against Japan at any time, if they want to shed less blood in wartime, they must train more and sweat more in peacetime, and only by refining a strong army can they be responsible for their own lives while killing the enemy and serving the country.

Before the "speech" of this guy was finished, the telegraph operator in the telecommunications room sent an urgent secret message.

The telegram was personally signed by Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui and others of the Sichuan Army, and the content was a circular on the "Resolution on the Military Conference of the City Capital."

One of the core is that the Sichuan Army is about to form the "22nd Group Army", with General Deng Xihou as the commander of the group army, and personally led 100,000 elite Sichuan troops to the Shanxi battlefield.

"The Sichuan army is out of Sichuan".

Liu Yun was also stunned, and there was a feeling of dislocation of time and space for a while.

Before this crossing, he had watched a lot of films about the Anti-Japanese War of the Sichuan Army, and what shocked him the most was the fathers and elders in Sichuan.

The original text is as follows, "When the national disaster is at the head, the Japanese are hideous. The rise and fall of the country has a share. I wanted to serve, but I was too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I consciously ask for help. Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty! ”

Such a simple patriotic spirit brought tears to the eyes of all Chinese sons and daughters.
