Chapter 500: Internal Worries (3) Arsenal
In any case, everyone gathered under the unified banner of the Ming Dynasty, which is regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
So what happened to the Ming Dynasty, they, the founders of the Ming Dynasty, must have been the first to suffer.
Therefore, anger at the cutting off of arms supplies is human.
At this time, Liao Qing, who was immersed in contemplation, suddenly thought of something. He asked out loud: "This was said by the Logistics Department?" Or something else. āć
In accordance with the competence of the Logistics Division, the supply of weapons and ammunition to the army is also under its responsibility. So this is a very common sense thing to say by the Logistics Division.
It's just that the Logistics Department, as one of the subordinate agencies of the Ministry of Political Affairs, should inform the Minister Nanfeng in advance of any decision.
Although not everything, the Logistics Department has to let Nanfeng take the idea. However, the issue of the supply of food, grass, weapons and ammunition for the army is not a trivial matter. Nan Feng, the Minister of State, must be informed.
Of course, after Nanfeng went to Nanyang to take office, the affairs of the Ministry of Government were basically thrown to Yang Chong, the president. The post of Minister of State is also in vain. But since the disappearance of the first lady of Daming, Yang Chong has been depressed and has not asked about political affairs.
The affairs of the Ministry of Government Affairs should be reassigned to Nanfeng.
After all, radio has been put into use, and communication between the mainland and the South Seas has become relatively simple. Many major events can be reported to Nanfeng and let him make up his mind.
However, when Xia Bing came, he brought news from the mainland. Most of the directors of the Ministry of Government Affairs were replaced by Mu Chun as his own. So in fact, Nanfeng has never interfered in the affairs of the Ministry of Government so far.
By analogy, the instructions of the Logistics Department can only come from the Minister of the Interior, Mu Chun.
Although this is very likely, Liao Qing is very reluctant to believe that this will be the truth.
Because in the cabinet, there is not only one minister Mu Chun. Such an order would definitely be opposed by other ministers. But at the moment, the order to cut off weapons and ammunition was passed unexpectedly.
It can only be proved from the side that the other ministers of the cabinet have lost power or been bought by Mu Chun. This is extremely detrimental to the development of the Ming Dynasty.
The status of Nanyang overseas consulate will also face a serious test in the future.
The other is President Yang Chong!
No matter how depressed he is, he doesn't care about political affairs. Nor will the cabinet be left to such infighting. Unless he really ignores politics or is kept in the dark. Otherwise, Mu Chun's purpose would never succeed.
If it weren't for this reason, then the other reasons would be a bit elusive.
When Liu Weiguo heard this, he grimaced and gritted his teeth: "It was said by the Logistics Department, but the reason is that there was a fire in the arsenal, and the plant and inventory were burned out!" āć
"Huh! Do they treat us like three-year-olds? Daming has more than one arsenal, even if there is a fire, it is impossible to burn together, right? When Zhang Xiao heard this, he immediately scoffed and asked.
Although at the beginning, Daming really only had one arsenal. But later, with the exchanges with Western countries, Daming has introduced several weapons and ammunition production lines. Especially after the outbreak of the influenza in Europe, Daming asked the local intelligence force, the White Lotus Sect, to move all kinds of precious instruments from those arsenals back to Daming from many abandoned and abandoned no-man's land.
Even the British Isles, which have always been very tightly protected, have also been brought by the Ming Dynasty with a lot of important equipment.
However, talent has always been the most important thing!
Through the lure and temptation of flow and sensitivity, the Ming Dynasty recruited a large number of well-known scientific research talents and inventors from Europe. Like Nobel's father Emmanuel Nobel and Nobel's mother Lorena Andretta Arcel, they were taken over in advance by Ming intelligence officers.
So that they can survive the terrible flu.
It's just that now Nobel's parents are still children in open crotch pants. If you want Nobel to come out and work for Daming, you have to wait for decades.
Those skilled arsenal skilled workers were also brought in by the Ming Dynasty.
It was under such circumstances that the Ming Arsenal expanded at a rapid pace. And in order to prevent accidents, the newly built arsenals were relocated to Groot Island in Xinhua Bay.
It was an island east of the coast of Arnhem Land and later the largest island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. But now, the Bay of Carpentaria has been changed to Xinhua Bay.
And the name of this Groot Island is too lazy to change for the sake of simplicity. There are also too many islands in the Ming Dynasty, and there are thousands of them in the South Ocean alone. And that's not counting the Pearl Islands in the South Pacific.
Daming's changes one by one are also more energy-consuming.
With an area of 2,460 square kilometers, it is neither too big nor too small. For the construction of an arsenal, there is enough space.
There were about 2,000 natives on it, but all of them were relocated. Now except for the skilled workers of the arsenal and the soldiers who protect the island, there are no idle people on the island.
Due to the abundant rainfall, the vegetation of the island is abundant. And in the middle of the island, there are also rich deposits of high-quality manganese ore.
Daming chose to build an arsenal here, naturally not because of the minerals here. Instead, it is located in the interior of the bay, which is easy to shelter from the wind. Like the last time it hit Daming, it will not affect Groot Island. In terms of safety, there is an important layer of guarantee.
And because it is surrounded by the sea, it is convenient to prevent the leakage of military technology.
In terms of transportation, it is close to the Northern Province and the city of Mingyo, which facilitates the transportation of ammunition. In the event of an accident, it is also convenient to grasp the situation in time.
So this is the second military forbidden island around Mingjing after Melville Island.
But the plans for the arsenal on Groot Island are still in practice. Therefore, the main supply of ammunition came from Melville Island, west of Mingjing.
But both Groot Island and Melville Island were heavily defended. The various inspections and disaster prevention work are also in place.
So it's hard to imagine that such a serious fire accident could occur. So much so that people listen to it and think it's incredible.
At this time, Xia Bing, who had been calm, snatched Liu Weiguo's words and said: "At the end of the negotiation, I received a private telegram from Mr. Zuo. Although most of it is said that Mu Chun is in the cabinet, his authority is getting bigger and bigger, and his attitude is becoming more and more arrogant.
But there was also a brief mention of the fire on Melville Island.
I just don't know if this refers to the fire in the arsenal! āć
At that time, she only noticed the previous content, and swept away the fire. Now that I think about it, it might really be related.
Zhang Xiao didn't deal with Xia Bing, and immediately sarcastically said: "Xia Bing, the ancients had clouds, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand." In addition to Melville Island, there is also Groot Island. Even if the factories on Melville Island burned down, the arsenal on Groot Island could still be operated.
That's why I say! Women are good at home with children!".
