"Big brother." Mei Youlan ran over when she saw Zhuang Jihua, Mei Yuntian looked at her back helplessly, he had persuaded her many times to let her pay attention, Zhuang Jihua and Liu Yinshu had a very good relationship, she should give up, but Mei Youlan didn't pay attention to it at all, and when she was in a hurry, she argued that it was brother and sister, but Mei Yuntian knew that it was better for his brother to say ten sentences than Zhuang Jihua to say the last sentence, but Zhuang Jihua couldn't open his mouth about this matter, and he was wrong when he said it.

"Why, I'm not going to be the editor-in-chief and I'm going to be a reporter." Zhuang Jihua joked with a smile.

Mei Youlan said mockingly: "Mr. Lieutenant General, it seems that you still don't understand the press industry, and whoever stipulates that the editor-in-chief can't be a reporter." ”

"Of course, it's completely okay for my little sister to be a reporter, and she is completely competent, it's your job." Zhuang Jihua found that Mei Youlan's expression was a little wrong today, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"Big brother, you don't care about that Teng Jie, he will make trouble for me." Sure enough, Mei Youlan began to complain, and as the resentment appeared, her eyes began to turn a little red.

Zhuang Jihua pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong with Teng Jie?" Tell me to give him little shoes to wear when I go back, and give you breath. ”

But having said that, Zhuang Jihua estimated that there was no problem with Teng Jie, who was Mei Youlan, who didn't know in the officialdom of Yucheng, if Teng Jie wasn't helpless, he would never have touched the "Yuzhou Evening News".

Sure enough, Mei Youlan said angrily: "I planned a follow-up report, which is about the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, shouldn't this be opened to traffic, but two of them were shot by Teng Jie,"

"What are these two about?" Zhuang Jihua asked after a moment of silence.

"One is a call for strengthening engineering safety," Mei Youlan recalled: "There are too many accidents on the railway, and according to our investigation, there have been dozens of safety accidents, and 26 workers have died, and there must be a problem here." …。 ”

Mei Youlan didn't finish Zhuang Jihua to understand, the reporter must be concerned about such a problem, the frequent safety problems in the construction, the project commander also reported to him, he also made a decision to strengthen safety, but in order to rush the progress, and the geological structure of Sichuan is very complex, the tunnel collapse is serious, so the accident is still frequent, 23 of the 26 people died in the tunnel collapse.

"Little sister, this is not a place, is this good, I'll go back and take a look at these two articles, you go to meet the master and the principal first, and we'll talk about it later." Zhuang Jihua said.

Mei Youlan reluctantly agreed, Zhuang Jihua turned around and pulled Mei Yuntian aside and whispered: "If the principal asks how much money is in the bank now, you must not tell the truth, at most a few million." ”

"What, I want you to pay again?" Mei Yuntian was a little bitter, Zhuang Jihua handed over the money bag to him to control, he also felt a great responsibility, and he had been very careful, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua's way of using money, thinking that he was too "extravagant", and the funds in and out were completely unbalanced.

"Not yet, but" Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "I always feel that there is a knife behind my back, and I will have to bleed this time." ”

"I see, don't worry, I know what to do." Mei Yuntian was angry with a trace of anger in his heart, this was too much.

Back at the base, Zhuang Jihua sent someone to find Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie, originally Zhuang Jihua was going to arrange special forces to escort Chiang Kai-shek, but the newcomer Chiang Kai-shek's chief of the guard Qian Dajun refused, the security of Chiang Kai-shek's temporary mansion was responsible for his guards, and the escort team was only responsible for peripheral security, so Zhuang Jihua had to change the team, the scope of the periphery was too large, and the more than 200 special forces were simply not enough, responsible for Chiang Kai-shek's perimeter security.

Now that Chiang Kai-shek wants to inspect the arsenal, this scope has been greatly reduced, and the environment is complicated, Zhuang Jihua thought of special forces again.

"The route inspected by the chairman is 101, 301, 501, 601, steel factory, radio factory, this route is top secret, you two in the army just know it."

"Yes." Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie replied seriously and a little excitedly.

After they left, Zhuang Jihua called the palace embroidery painting in, and asked her to push back the work arrangement in the last few days, the palace embroidery painting looked at the schedule and said: "The others are easy to do, there are only two meetings, and an expert meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, with two topics, after the Chengdu-Chongqing railway is opened, the construction direction of the next railway; The other is the problem of automobile manufacturers and special steel mills; There is also a meeting of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which is about radar. ”

Zhuang Jihua rubbed his temples and couldn't help but moan: "Damn, when will I be able to sleep until I wake up naturally, so many things." ”

After the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, the expert group has two opinions on the next step of railway construction planning, one advocates the construction of the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Railway from Chengdu to Guiyang to Kunming; The other faction believes that the Sichuan-Hankou Railway from Chengdu to Wuhan should be built to connect with the Jinghan Railway and form a transportation artery for the entire southwest.

The pros and cons of these two plans are very clear, the Sichuan-Han Railway will be of great help to the rapid export of Sichuan's materials out of Sichuan in the future, especially the replenishment of weapons and ammunition; The Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Railway, on the other hand, can connect the entire southwest, and the benefits of the long-term war of resistance are not known.

On the contrary, the automobile factory and the special steel mill are technical problems, the automobile factory is a German aid project, but Germany refused to hand over the chassis technology, and had to export the chassis to China, which made Zhuang Jihua very disgusted, so he proposed whether to introduce chassis technology from the United States, first of all, the chassis of trucks; The stalemate in the automobile plant has affected the special steel mill, the special steel mill has been repaired for more than a year, and the first phase of the project is about to be completed, but at this time the German engineer proposed to inspect the ore, Zhuang Jihua received the report and almost scolded his mother, now to inspect the ore, why did you go earlier.

Radar is a new product, last year Hitler became the Führer, became a German reader, began to expand the army, the expansion of the Luftwaffe is very large, Goering everywhere to promote the strength of the Luftwaffe, a British science and technology magazine published an article saying that you can use radio to shoot down the plane, Zhuang Jihua took this article to go to the experts of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the experts thought that this was impossible, but then under the inspiration of Zhuang Jihua that it was impossible to shoot down, but it could be found, and then a project team was set up, named radar.

Zhuang Jihua knows the radar, but he doesn't know what the radar is composed of, after the establishment of the project team to find a lot of information, do some experiments, and then the project team split, one party thinks that the magnetron project should be used, the other party thinks that the pulse type should be used, and the two sides are in dispute, so they handed it over to Yu Dawei, and Yu Dawei can't decide.

"This kind of good thing, don't think about it for the time being," Gong Xiuhua had seen such complaints a few times, and she said expressionlessly: "If you want to complain, you can blame your principal, when it is not good, you have to choose this time." There is also an aircraft factory that has already set up a project, just waiting for you to sign it. ”

"Grandma, can you be quiet, it's an extraordinary time." Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but remind her, and Gong Xiuhua glanced at him lightly: "Look at your guts, the bolder the official, the smaller the child." ”

"The bigger the official, the greater the responsibility, so the less courageous I am, and I can't help it." Zhuang Jihua sighed: "Embroidery, the past is over, now it's different from before, we don't know what the Einsatzgruppen team is doing when they come in, and besides, Kang Ze's kid's nose is very smart, don't let him smell it." Saying that, he sighed: "I'm finally laying this foundation, but don't ruin it." ”

"I'll look at you," Gong Xiuhua stared at him, and after a while he said, "Forget it, how do you say it?" ”

"What else, only to postpone, I have to accompany him to inspect the arsenal, let him know the bottom of his heart, enhance his confidence, don't give in too quickly to Yueben." Zhuang Jihua's tone was very helpless, saying that he was stirring up trouble again in North China, accusing the Beiping Political Committee and the Military Branch of being ineffective in stopping the anti-Japanese actions, demanding the removal of local officials and the transfer of the Northeast Army and the Central Army from North China. These developments have led to renewed tensions in northern China. Zhuang Jihua estimated that this was another blackmail by himself, and he hoped that Chiang Kai-shek would be able to resist it.

"He," Gong Xiuhua snorted contemptuously, "I don't have hope for him, you'd better prepare yourself." ”

"Then don't let me get into trouble." This palace embroidery painting is not usually like this, could it be that Chiang Kai-shek came to Chongqing to stimulate her? Zhuang Jihua was very helpless, Peng Fentian's death hit her too hard, and she hated both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

"Look, I won't get you in trouble." Gong Xiuhua's face was full of disdain: "Okay, I'll go inform them." ”

Zhuang Jihua then grabbed the phone and called Tang Zong, asking him to immediately and secretly arrange for the control of the factories on the inspection route, and asked for information on all the workers in the factories during Chiang Kai-shek's inspection.

Tang Zong frowned, and had an idea: "Can we replace all the workers on duty with Kuomintang members and members of the Three Youth Leagues?" ”

Zhuang Jihua felt feasible after thinking about it, but he didn't know if there were enough party members: "You can discuss it with Teng Jie." ”

The party affairs in Yucheng are now divided into two lines, the local ones are under Yang Yongtai's control, and the factory is under Teng Jie's responsibility, this system makes Yang Yongtai very troubled, he always wants to merge Teng Jie's part into the city party department, but every time he mentions it with Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua takes care of him.

But Zhuang Jihua's series of arrangements all failed, Chiang Kai-shek did not enter the factory at all, Zhuang Jihua forgot, Chiang Kai-shek was very disgusted with the disorderly, chaotic environment, so after entering the factory, Chiang Kai-shek walked around the periphery of the factory accompanied by Zhuang Jihua and the factory director, and took a look at the door of the workshop.

"101 is a factory that produces formal rifles, and currently has 900 workers, working in two shifts, each shift is eight hours, and can produce 212 rifles per day, about 30,000 rifles per year, and the 102 and 103 factories are relatively smaller, and the two factories together can produce 180 rifles per day, and 20,000 rifles a year. At present, we are still bothered by skilled workers and production materials, mainly gun barrels, the output of Yucheng Iron and Steel Plant and Qijiang Iron and Steel Plant is insufficient, which can produce 180,000 tons of steel per year, and now these two steel plants are in the second phase of expansion, and the annual output can reach 400,000 tons after the completion of the second phase of expansion. The special steel plant is expected to be put into operation this year, with a design output of 30,000 tons, and the full completion can reach 100,000 tons. ”

Chiang Kai-shek stroked the rifle he took from the production line, the butt was not yet painted, and it still exuded the fragrance of fresh wood, the barrel glowed faintly blue, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile: "This gun is much stronger than what you sent at the beginning." ”

"Yes, there were too few skilled workers at that time, but now there are more skilled workers, and the technology has improved, so the quality will naturally go up," Zhuang Jihua explained: "In the second half of the year, the gun production factory will be expanded, and strive to reach an annual output of 100,000 to 150,000 rifles next year." By the end of the year, it reached 200,000. In order to achieve this goal, we must expand the steel plant, which will be able to produce 800,000 tons by the end of the year. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was a little puzzled, three years ago there was nothing, but now there is an annual output of more than 50,000 rifles, and in two years it will reach 200,000 rifles, and in five years all the equipment of the Central Army can be replaced.

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's question, Zhuang Jihua smiled confidently: "This is a multiplier effect, one factory fission into two, two fission into four, four into eight, the equipment is still these equipment, the process is still these processes, to be honest, if it is not for the shortage of workers and materials, next year's goal is 200,000." ”

"We have a Chongqing number for all factories, and the head of the production rifle is 1, the head of the grenade is 2, and the head of the mortar is 3, so the 301 factory is the production of mortars, and at present we can produce 60 mortars and 82 mortars, of which 60 mortars are German technology, 82 mortars are American technology, and the output of 60 mortars per month can produce 800 mortars, and 82 mortars can produce 500 ,..."

"The radio plant is now capable of producing radios and telephones, for which our experts have mastered the process of manufacturing vacuum tubes, which is currently produced at ......."

"The prefix 4 is the production of various machine guns, the current light machine gun is Czech, and the heavy machine gun uses the Soviet-style mark core, and the monthly output is ,...。"

"The biggest problem with bullets is copper, we have found several copper mines in Sichuan, but the output of copper smelters has not been able to go up, experts are looking for the reason, and there is also the fact that the fuse material of the shell cannot meet the needs, and we are working to solve it."

Zhuang Jihua neither concealed nor exaggerated along the way, and explained all the achievements and problems to Chiang Kai-shek one by one, and he observed Chiang Kai-shek's expression while speaking, Chiang Kai-shek's expression was very strange, both surprised and worried, so that Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but start thinking about it again.
