In the middle of summer in Beijing, although Zhan Tianyou, who had already been among the top echelons of the Ministry of Industry, appeared in the Qin Mansion, as one of the few technocrats in the entire Nanyang system, he brought about the implementation of an important deployment of the Ministry of Industry in the past four months, which means a huge national power for the whole country.

"Chairman, after a new industrial assessment, there are currently more than 1,700 state-owned factories and privately-owned factories shortlisted for the military supply chain...... In addition to the 27 heavy industry production capacity in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Fuzhou, the products of other civilian-funded factories are difficult to enter the fiercely competitive military supply chain according to the requirements of the military! ”

Zhan Tianyou came to report today, of course, the domestic production capacity assessment work deployed earlier by the State Science and Technology Commission, for the upcoming global war, Qin Kai naturally knows far better than anyone about its huge coverage and astonishing consumption, especially when a huge China that is far larger than Europe and the United States is about to join......

Today's domestic military industry system, make full use of the long development period of 30 years, formed a competitive system with Nanyang, Jiangnan, Beihai and Beihai four major heavy industry groups as the backbone, and the gradual increase in military spending in the past 10 years has created excellent conditions for the flattening of the entire industrial chain, and a large number of civilian industries can obtain 100-ton die forging hydraulic presses, precision machine tools and other equipment from the four major heavy industries, so as to expand the production capacity of a large number of basic products to the entire domestic industry.

In fact, Qin Kai has long been no longer directly involved in the affairs of the cabinet, and the huge operation of the country is completely a matter of hard work, and he is in charge of the Science and Technology Committee. Make use of sufficient government and social resources to promote industrialization at the national level. That's what I really care about. In particular, the most important issue is capacity...... Outside of the war, determine the real basis of the war!

Hearing Zhan Tianyou's somewhat worried decision, Qin Kai, who was brewing coffee with his hand, just smiled slightly, "Cheng, you may not know that the cabinet will soon start a large-scale bidding for military products, and the war may be unavoidable, unless we are willing to lose the market in the entire Europe." And the industrial power that we have worked tirelessly to continue since the founding of the People's Republic of China will get unprecedented opportunities! Next, you're probably going to be busy......"

"Joining the Allies?" Although Zhan Tianyou is obsessed with domestic industrial construction, he is obviously still very concerned about the current international situation, and the position of the Chinese government has always been, as a high-level government, he naturally knows very well, the government has been preparing for war since the outbreak of the European war, and now that Qin Kai has mentioned the war, the situation must be unavoidable!

"The Germans naturally wanted us to join the Allies at once...... But! Qin Kai held two cups of coffee. Putting one of the cups in front of Zhan Tianyou, he continued unhurriedly: "This thing gives Ruidong a headache. I only care about the domestic industrial capacity and the progress of agricultural science and technology, once the war starts, I sincerely hope that the industrial chain shortlisted evaluation completed by you this time will be the greatest support for victory! ”

"But...... Chairman, what I'm worried about is quality! Zhan Tianyou naturally understands that the weight in his hands, the huge industrial network, means amazing production capacity, especially in the current urbanization process of the general trend in China, a large number of factories attract amazing industrial workers from the mainland and the surrounding Confederate countries, and the fierce competition has eliminated a large number of low-end production capacity, but judging from the results of the bidding, it is obviously not satisfactory to him, a top student of Yale University.

Quality...... Qin Kai knocked lightly on the table, this problem is indeed not a problem that can be quickly solved only in China, which has a short industrial history of more than 20 years, the highest quality of the domestic product industry is naturally the industry of the old Nanyang system, and the private industry has actually been fully developed for more than ten years, and it is unrealistic to cultivate a large number of cutting-edge industries!

After the war started, the demand for quantity will be far better than the quality control, and the huge industrial production capacity can give birth to and give birth to the real industrial flower of the East in the war, just like the growth history of the Nanyang system in the continuous war...... Of course, the technocrats of the Ministry of Industry today are all senior industrial parties, and this is undoubtedly the best good for the industry!

"Sincerely, quality control, your Ministry of Industry has not submitted hundreds of legislation and national standards, in addition, industry associations have done a good job over the years, in addition, you must fully believe in the results of market competition, our national strength, has been destined for China's industrialization has a future beyond the global ......"

Just as Qin Kai was about to discuss the blueprint of wartime industrial planning in depth, the guard officer on duty had already appeared outside the door with a few people, "Report Chairman, General Ouyang Qing has come to visit you!" ”

Ouyang Qing...... As a veteran of the elders of the domestic intelligence agency, in fact, after Qin Kai decided not to be re-elected, he also quickly made a decision to transfer from the intelligence department of the quasi-military to the military and political department to serve in the military, which was actually his dream idea, he joined the protectorate back then? The army is not here to be an intelligence chief!

However, it is obvious that Zhou Ruidong and Xu Shoushan are a little cold to this guy holding a military position, with his qualifications and merits, the military rank has long been at the level of lieutenant general, but unfortunately, this lieutenant general has never led the regular army, and now the position after entering the military circles also made Xu Shoushan quite embarrassed for a while, and finally asked Qin Kai to make a decision and serve as the chief of the Strategy Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Ouyang Qing naturally had a grudge against the idea of not being able to satisfy himself in leading troops to fight, but this guy has never been a person who can't think of it, and soon created his own luxury lineup of the Strategy Department, not only from the sea, land and air to draw a group of cutting-edge talents, but also to attract the power of many military academy research institutions, and the strategic report made Xu Shoushan have to admire.

He appeared in the Qin Mansion at this time, and naturally brought extremely important news, "Chairman, the U.S. Navy has entered the Caribbean Sea, and the D211 submarine cruising near San Andrés has discovered the Yankee's fleet in the moonlight, and two hours ago I received a telegram from Tang Qingshan, and the Atlantic Fleet has entered a full defense posture!" ”

San Andrés Island...... When Qin Kai heard this name, he immediately understood the situation in the entire Caribbean Sea, the ultimate purpose of the Chinese military stationed in Panama is naturally to control this canal that is related to the lifeblood of the world, and the deployment of the east and west coasts is an inevitable trend, this small island only 300 kilometers away from Cologne City is an important node to monitor the entire Caribbean Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, and the Chinese Navy has long built a permanent secret military facility on the island to provide anchorage ports for Chinese submarines.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Atlantic Fleet, it was not destined to become a formidable surface fleet, so the commander of the fleet, Tang Qingshan, was naturally very clear about his position, so he desperately asked the Ministry of Military Affairs for submarines, so the submarine force under the jurisdiction of the Atlantic Fleet almost entered a period of frantic growth in less than two years, and this intelligence reconnaissance at least proved the huge potential of the submarine force......

Qin Kai looked at the big bell on the wall, "This time the Yankees are quite hard, they can't even anchor in Mexico!" Then count, after dawn, they will enter the sea area of Cologne......" Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head and looked at Ouyang Qing again, "Ouyang, what do the General Staff and your Strategy Department think of this big move by the Yankees...... By the way, there is no action in Brisbane! ”

"Those guys in the staff decided that the Americans wanted to fight! Otherwise, there is no need to get such a large number of battleships to play in the Caribbean! If you want to show off your strength, it doesn't seem to be like that! What's more, the British also sent two dreadnoughts to assist, which confirmed the determination of the Americans! Ouyang Qing smiled, and did not hide his contemptuous attitude towards the General Staff, "The South China Theater has also entered the first level of combat readiness, and the naval reconnaissance plane that took off from Lula has already flown to Brisbane, but there is no news from the US Pacific Fleet at present!" ”

Qin Kai naturally heard the disdain between the words of this excellent intelligence leader, and he was secretly amused in his heart, to be honest, he was also a little helpless about the idea that this goods were going to the front line of the army at the beginning, in addition to protecting the country? After being on the battlefield in the army, he almost traveled outside the battlefield, but he never let go of this thought, and when he arrived at the strategic department, he couldn't look down on the young officers of the staff who talked on paper all day long.

"Ouyang, what do you think? Don't you think the Yankees have ideas about the Panama Canal? ”

Ouyang Qing pursed his lips and poured himself a cup of green tea, "Chairman, I judge that if the Americans want to fight, I'm afraid they may not be able to fight tomorrow morning...... Another question is, how to shoot this first shot, I think there is a lot of room for debate! By driving the battleship to the Caribbean, the Yankees have already violated the peace treaty signed between China and the United States during the Spanish-American War, and of course, the Yankees will definitely say that they are only passing peacefully, and may even make a claim through the Panama Canal! ”

Zhan Tianyou, who was sitting upright on the side, obviously didn't understand Ouyang Qing's reasoning very much, but he was obviously very concerned about this matter, so he asked a little abruptly, "General Ouyang, I also see a problem...... The United States does not have a transport army, and without an army, let alone our well-fortified Cologne, it is impossible for the Americans to occupy any inch of undefended territory in Panama! ”

"Naturally, their purpose is not to occupy!" Ouyang Qing naturally knew Zhan Tianyou, as a high-level military officer, and he also had a strong intelligence system, he naturally understood the energy of the Ministry of Industry, so he had to explain more, "This time the commander of the US army is William?" Vice Admiral Schiller, as far as we know, was a fan of the British Navy's repressive tactics, so ...... He wants to put pressure on us, and there will be pressure when closed! (To be continued.) )
