Chapter 73 Preparing for production
Historically, Kawabe Zhengzo, who was only the commander of the infantry brigade of the North China Garrison Army in 1936, had already taken office four years ahead of schedule, which made Xu Qingyun a little worried. The culprit of the 77 Incident, Xu Qingyun really wanted to slap him to death. The construction of the Baotou military base has just begun, will this irascible guy cause any trouble? Close. The Eastern Army's gamble in the northeast made the Japanese garrison troops on the land of China unbearable. In case this guy makes something happen in advance, all of Xu Qingyun's plans will become a bamboo basket for nothing. And the war after that will return to the origin of history, and Xu Qingyun, a traverser, will have no advantage at all.
This banquet can also be said to be a kind of temptation, if the Japanese show signs of launching a large-scale invasion of China, Xu Qingyun has to plan for the worst. However, Xu Qingyun knew that the Japanese were not ready for a full-scale invasion of China at this time in history, and coupled with his previous two "beatings" against the Japanese in Beidaying and Jinzhou, I believe that even if the Japanese are ready for a full-scale invasion of China, they must still consider the 200,000 men and horses of the Seventh Army. It can be said that Xu Qingyun's Seventh Army was the first barrier for the Japanese to move south. Will the Japanese leave their backs to Xu Qingyun? Unless they have a bad brain. Moreover, Xu Qingyun is an out-and-out nationalist from the point of view of intelligence. However, judging from Xu Qingyun's recent performance, it seems that he is much better for the Japanese than before? This made the Japanese intelligence department feel that they had illusions about taking Xu Qingyun. So Tu Feiyuan reported his analysis of Xu Qingyun to Kohei Kashii. It would be best if it could be solved without force. If Xu Qingyun wants to be a warlord, he might as well help him and use the Chinese against the Chinese, wouldn't it be perfect for the Japanese to profit from it?
The dreams of the Japanese are beautiful, but Xu Qingyun will let the Japanese know that reality is very skinny in the future. Xu Qingyun felt that he should learn to forbear. It's not a good thing to come out on top before you're young. When the master's military base is put into production, the little devil will have to think about what he wants to do. Xu Qingyun always laughed when talking to Xiangshi, looking harmless to humans and animals. Even Kashii herself thinks that it must be the fools of the empire who don't use their brains to cause the good baby in front of him to have a grudge against the empire. Who said that this stunned person would start fighting if he didn't say a word? We had a great conversation today! The banquet didn't end until one o'clock in the morning, and Kashii really regretted not bringing reporters, and after sending Xu Qingyun away, he severely reprimanded Tu Feiyuan If it weren't for Tu Feiyuan's fear that Xu Qingyun would do something embarrassing, this rather "fruitful" banquet would definitely hit those radical anti-Japanese elements in China. Even Xu Qingyun, an anti-Japanese hero who had been fighting against the Japanese Empire before, extended an olive branch, so will the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia be far away? Kashii is immersed in the beautiful fairy tales she has wove herself. And Tu Feiyuan, who was very aggrieved, couldn't understand why Xu Qingyun, who was like a mad dog when he saw the Japanese on weekdays, changed his temperament? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"Little devils are not easy to deceive!" On the way back, Xu Qingyun frowned. In order to confuse the Japanese, Xu Qingyun claimed to establish his own industrial base in Baotou, which mainly produced tractors, automobiles and other civilian machinery, and described the German military personnel as professional technicians. But its tight secrecy allowed the Japanese to hold on to it. But Xu Qingyun also has a rhetoric, your advanced industrial technology will let people visit for free? The Japanese scoffed at the "advanced" technology in Xu Qingyun's mouth. "Chairman Xu, if you continue to do it according to your plan, Wang will have to bear the name of a traitor in the future." Wang Wen, the newly appointed mayor of Beiping, said with a wry smile. "The descendants of historical freedom have commented that all we can do is to do our part when the nation is in danger! Besides, the master is your leader, which round do you want to say? Think too highly of yourself! Xu Qingyun's joking words made the clouds disperse over everyone's heads.
At the end of 1932, good news came from the Baotou Military Industrial Base, that the basic construction of various infrastructure facilities had been completed, and it was expected to be put into production early next year. This is undoubtedly the best news Xu Qingyun has received in the past few months. It was a miracle to accomplish it in such a short period of time. Don't be a tofu scum project, right? This Xu Qingyun has filtered more, and the construction team at this time is not an unscrupulous profiteer in later generations. Driven by the lure of high wages and national pride, more than 100,000 people, including technicians and infrastructure construction workers, plunged headlong into the foot of Daqingshan. They threw themselves into the construction with high "fighting" enthusiasm. People in this era are very aware of Entu, and some people can work fifteen, sixteen or even eighteen hours a day just for the good food on the construction site. This made Xu Qingyun unbelievable.
On January 20, 1933, a few days before the arrival of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qingyun came to Baotou. The bitter cold wind poured grit into the neck. It was more painful than a knife. The production area, living area, and office area are brightly lit and busy. This made Xu Qingyun's heart warm. "Did you bring the money?" Xu Dong looked like a debt collector. If it weren't for listening to the voice, Xu Qingyun really wouldn't have recognized Xu Dong. Is this still the same Xu Dong with a fair face and a slightly chubby body before? The person in front of him had lower limits in his eyes, and his body was as thin as a bamboo pole, as if he had just climbed out of the coal kiln. "Brought, I can't owe you anything that my master owes you. Great work! At the end, Xu Qingyun solemnly held Xu Dong's hand. You still have a little conscience. Spread your hands, and let the guys feel uncomfortable holding hands like this. Of course, Xu Dong also knew how much money Xu Qingyun had invested for such a military base. And all this is not for Xu Qingyun's own selfishness. He followed Xu Qingyun and embarked on a road that went down in history.
Xu Qingyun went straight to the Military Research Institute under the leadership of the staff. A group of big-nosed and blue-eyed guys looked curiously at the young man in front of them. "Oh, Xu, are you finally willing to meet my old friend?" It was Bert, the assistant of the advisory group, who recognized Xu Qingyun at a glance. "Bert? Should I call you a general or a gentleman now? Xu Qingyun spread his hands. NO, NO, NO, WE'RE FRIENDS, AREN'T WE? Bert was a little aggrieved by Xu Qingyun's estranged title, and the original rigorous German big nose also had such a cute side.
"Xu, how did you come up with a forging method to make a firearm?" Bert leaned into Xu Qingyun's ear. "Bert, this is all thanks to your researchers, I'm just giving you a little advice." Xu Qingyun shrugged, looking extremely sincere. Finally fooled the curious baby like Bert, Xu Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Xu Qingyun "inadvertently" leaked information to scientific research institutes, which made them like treasures. "When will it be put into production?" This is the issue that Xu Qingyun is most concerned about. "It will be the end of March or the beginning of April at the earliest, but it will be like a tractor car next month." Xu Dong was as excited as a child. Although, now you can only make your own shell, the engine still relies on imports, but this is already a lot of progress, I believe that in the near future, Baotou's cars will be able to install the "Chinese heart"!
"I said Dad, don't keep frowning" Xu Yang finally saw his son, but his short-term happiness was extinguished by the ensuing shortage of funds. "Standing and talking doesn't hurt my back, you Lao Tzu and I have such a little family background, I don't see a sound when I go in this time, and I urgently need a lot of follow-up investment, your father and I can't make it up even if I sell blood!" "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and someone will send us money." Xu Qingyunpi didn't smile. "Rabbit cub, still make fun of your father, say it quickly!" Xu Yang listened to his son's words and knew that this kid must have a way. "That's right, your son and I used the patent to exchange the Germans for an interest-free loan of 450 million Deutschmarks, which can be repaid with resources. And the Germans will mine it themselves, but they will pay 60% of the resource utilization fee. Xu Qingyun smiled. The previous improvement plan of the MG general-purpose machine gun has already made the Germans shine, and after Xu Qingyun revealed that there are more "good goods", the Germans readily agreed to Xu Qingyun's loan request. Of course, this was all through the connection between Suri and the German advisory group. He didn't want his good goods to be sold cheaply by the guys from the Nationalist Government. The newly appointed mustachioed Hitler was ambitious, improving people's livelihood while secretly developing military power. The military industrial base in the East is the best testing ground for new weapons. Of course, 250 million of the 450 million belong to the national government. Originally, the government only wanted to give 50 million as a reward, but the Germans named Xu Qingyun. This makes the bigwigs of the government very unhappy, what do you say you want so much money for a tractor factory?
With the help of the Germans, the government swept away the decadence of the past. After hearing that 60 German armourers would be reorganized and equipped within 10 years, the commanders of the various units began to stir up in their hearts. Mechanic, after the equipment is reorganized, the combat power has increased exponentially. But as mentioned above, those who perform well can be equipped in advance. As a result, a nationwide upsurge of military training has been set off. This craze almost stunned the Japanese, what do the Chinese want to do? After figuring out the thoughts of the national government, the Japanese breathed a sigh of relief, but once the sixty German armor divisions formed combat power, could the co-prosperity of East Asia still be realized? As a result, the emperor convened an imperial council and once again put a full-scale invasion of China on the agenda.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Qingyun forced everyone to take two days off and pay an additional month's salary as encouragement. After cheering, everyone realized that they usually only care about overtime, and they don't have time to buy New Year's goods. This Xu Qingyun had already thought of it all when he came. One hundred and ten pigs and dozens of cattle had already been ordered to be slaughtered. The hundreds of thousands of outsiders in Baotou really felt what is the life of a person and what is the paradise on earth. Of course, the charter did not forget to take the opportunity to engage in political work. "We must defend our hard-earned gains and always be ready to resist foreign ......aggression," Xu Qingyun felt a chill after hearing this. Charter: This guy is on the road.
