I'm sorry, I was hungry and went to scramble an egg to eat, but I was fifteen minutes late.

Today's first update!

Brothers have a ticket for speed support, God Butcher today!

――――

When Xia Jun was busy building the navy, Zhang Cheng's chemistry team lived up to expectations and successfully manufactured sulfonamides, and then entered the production planning stage, which was also taken care of by teachers and students of science and engineering.

At the end of September, the factories opened by Xia Jun entered the operation stage one after another, among which the steel plant produced the first batch of steel, and Li Shijing was responsible for marketing.

On September 26, the five 10,000-ton cargo ships exchanged by Xia Jun were loaded with cotton cloth, paper, cigarettes, lighters, sanitary napkins and other goods for the United States.

Among them, paper and sanitary napkins are the bulk items, cigarettes and lighters are also relatively large, and cotton cloth and steel are only common sense surnames to be put into the United States.

With the support of Xia Jun, Jianzhou University established the Naval Academy, which had only 20 people in the first phase, and Xia Jun recruited 200 sailors from all over the coastal areas of Fujian.

Most of these sailors were officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division who were defeated during the First Sino-Japanese War, and Xia Jun gave them a high military salary, seven silver dollars per month.

With 200 sailors and 20 students from the Naval Academy, Xia Jun formed an offshore fleet to defend the waters off Ningde.

The fleet was armed with ten 50-ton torpedo boats at a speed of 45 knots, armed with three medium electric torpedoes (400mm caliber), as well as two 45-mm naval guns.

This torpedo boat costs 100,000 points, and Xia Jun spent 1 million points for it.

At the same time, Xia Jun also exchanged for a U-shaped submarine, the German VIIB type, which is a very advanced submarine and one of the main combat submarine models used by Germany in World War II.

A Type VIIB submarine costs 2 million points, which is the cheapest of the ships in the Navy, as submarines are claimed to be poor people's weapons.

However, because it was from World War II, it was still a little expensive to exchange, but in order to build a navy, Xia Jun gritted his teeth and bought one.

Data on Type VIIB submarines:

Displacement: surface 735 tons / underwater 857 tons

Maximum speed: 17.2 knots above the surface / 8 knots underwater

Endurance: 6,500 nautical miles / 12 knots above the surface, 90 nautical miles / 4 knots underwater

Safe depth: 150 meters

Time to dive to periscope depth (12 meters): 30 seconds

Torpedo tubes: 4 front and 1 rear, a total of 5 533mm launch tubes

Submariners: 5 officers, 16 non-commissioned officers, 30 sailors

The Naval Academy was established in Ningde, and ten torpedo boats and a Type VIIB submarine were organized into an offshore patrol, and Xia Jun gave them an order to sink all armed ships 10,000 meters close to the port.

Xia Jun is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, so when the time comes, he will be ruthless, who knows if he did it? Who would believe that a local Chinese autonomous political axe has submarines?

In fact, this small navy is only used to escort Xia Jun's smuggling. Once you get it, Xia Jun doesn't have many points in his hands.

However, after nearly two months of layout, Xia Jun's industry has entered a state of operation at this time, and the two highways from Jian'an to Ningde and Xianxiaguan have been opened to traffic.

Xia Jun's transport team also began to reorganize, and the transportation from Jian'an to Fuzhou began to be undertaken by locomotive ships, while the nearly 1,000 tractors of the transport team began to take the two routes from Jian'an to Ningde and Xianxiaguan.

The completion of these two routes allowed mainland businessmen to come to Jian'an very smoothly.

In the past, those foot merchants took the Xianxiaguan Ancient Road, where the road was not very easy to walk, and the transportation basically relied on mules and horses, and the ancient road was worn to a very smooth stone after thousands of years of walking.

But now that the Xianxiaguan Tunnel is opened, no one will leave the Xianxiaguan Ancient Road.

The foot merchants were undoubtedly the happiest, not only could they buy cheap goods when they came to Jian'an, but Xia Jun also had a tractor to help them transport things out of the Xianxiaguan Tunnel.

In Jian'an, they can buy cotton, paper, ironware, hardware, as well as filter cigarettes printed with macho and beautiful women, as well as lighters and jeans.

The prices of these commodities are very low, and they will definitely make a lot of money when they are transported inland, and the security team also transported them to Xianxia Pass, which saves a period of leg strength.

In the past, the business was not so easy to do, and the most I could earn was to earn some errands, and sometimes I couldn't even earn errands, but now it is very profitable.

For this reason, those foot merchants stared at them like flies, and Liu Jinshan even led a group to come, and at the end of September, he brought more than a dozen Hui merchants to Jian'an to do business, which made Xia Jun overjoyed.

Only when a businessman comes to Jian'an can the products of the factory be sold. Domestic sales + exports, it will not be a problem to sell products.

The best sales volume is cotton cloth, the monthly output of 2,500 tons can not keep up with the growth of sales at all, originally those cotton cloth was transported to various ports by Xia Jun by ship, and the rest was bought directly by those foot merchants.

The good news kept coming, after Tana's sales company received the goods, it directly attached a payment of 2 million US dollars, and sent a telegram saying that the cotton cloth market in the United States is also good, and the steel produced by Jian'an also has a market in the United States, after all, Xia Jun uses electric converter steel.

Xia Jun missed a tariff, the United States has already canceled tariff protection at this time, and cotton does have a market in the United States.

Tana's economic strength is really good, and Xia Jun's distributor in the United States has been formalized, so Xia Jun's financial problems will be solved.

Li Shijing calculated the profitability of each factory, and with the current price of imported raw materials and the production capacity of the previous factories reaching the extreme, it can earn nearly 8 million US dollars per month.

8 million US dollars, enough for Xia Jun's expenses.

However, patents can still generate income, Tana has sent a telegram, and will return to Fujian in October to discuss with Xia Jun about setting up a joint venture factory in the United States.

If you set up a factory in the U.S., you will be able to generate more revenue every month.
