Chapter 586: The President's Fulfilling Life
The affairs of each army are handled by the Admiralty, and the president just urged Xia Lie to delete two things and formulate a policy, and the rest is to be handed over to subordinates like Liu Guanxiong to handle it, and the matter of going to the United States to receive warships is not too complicated in the first place, and Liu Guanxiong only stayed in the Commander's Hall for half an hour before being ordered to return to the Admiralty. However, Liu Qingen, who arrived before him, still stayed in Mr. President's No. 1 office to discuss the affairs of the arms industry with the president.
After four rectifications, China's ordnance manufacturing industry has completely gotten rid of the previous backward state of production, with the help of Germany, those arsenals established by the Qing court have been thoroughly rectified and expanded, after the Longhai Railway was completed and opened to traffic, the center built a large arsenal in Zhengzhou, Henan, the scale of the Hanyang Arsenal, coupled with the small ordnance enterprises built in various places, now China, has been a rising star in the munitions manufacturing industry, in the past, these arsenals can only manufacture light weapons, However, since Germany began to increase its aid to China a year ago, Germany's military enterprises such as Krupp and Erhard have begun to transfer to China the most advanced heavy weapons manufacturing technology, such as howitzers, fortress guns, submarines, and marine steam engines, to China for a fee. China's arsenals have been able to make imitations.
At the same time, some of the special products of China's ordnance enterprises have also begun to enter the international arms market, "Chinese-made submachine guns", "Chinese-made grenades, Chinese-made mortars, Chinese-made parachutes", these outstanding Chinese ordnance products have been recognized by foreign counterparts, and after the two "Balkan wars" from the old mouth to the old year, the Chinese-made light weapons have indeed shown very good tactical value, especially submachine guns and mortars, due to their outstanding performance in positional warfare, Moreover, since China is also a member of the "Paris Blatant" and all industrial products enjoy patent protection, the international patent authorization of these light weapons has also made some contributions to China's central finance, and these funds have once again been invested in the munitions industry without hesitation, making China's munitions industry advance to a very astonishing degree.
Of course. To catch up with the great powers. China's munitions sector must continue to work hard, at the very least, to meet the expected goal of "four industrial exhibitions", and one of the most important criteria for this expected goal is rifle production.
According to the relevant instructions of the "Four Industrial Exhibition Plan," by the old year, the annual output of rifles in all China's military enterprises must reach 400,000 rods, which is a very challenging task, and even Zhao Bei, who formulated this plan at the beginning, did not have full confidence in ensuring the completion of this task.
But now, the news that Liu Qingen brought to Zhao Bei made him feel relaxed, just before Liu Guanxiong arrived at the office, Director Liu personally told President Zhao that just the day before yesterday, the Ordnance Industry Administration has completed the first quarter of the full fire production report, although subject to the shortage of funds, but the ordnance enterprises have manufactured 100,000 rifles in the first quarter, so it is estimated that this year's national rifle production will exceed 400,000 rods.
Almost, this is enough to use, the rifles imported from Germany over the years, together with the previous stocks, the current Chinese armament enterprises have been able to meet the demand for rifles in the Wehrmacht, moreover, this production is still obtained in peacetime. If war comes, according to Liu Qingen's estimates, if the raw materials are sufficient, the production of rifles will increase by 50,000 per quarter.
Of course. The Ministry of Heavy Industry and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce have protested on this issue more than once, because the military enterprises have concentrated too many technical personnel, which has affected the use of talents in other industrial sectors, especially the construction of light industry, which is very important for the people's livelihood, although the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Education have increased investment in vocational and technical education, but this will take time, at least this year, the shortage of personnel in the industrial sector can not be fundamentally solved.
Protests against the light industry sector. Zhao Bei can only be perfunctory at present, he knows it very well. If his interference with history had not been so thorough, World War I would have exploded sometime this year, and according to his plan. Also this year, China will engage in a decisive local war with Japan, for China, the state resignation is an opportunity, but also a challenge, but also a gamble, in order to win a huge victory in this gamble, Zhao Bei must increase the chips in his hands, and arms is this bargaining chip, without enough arms and material reserves, China is impossible to support a long-term war. Although Zhao Bei resolutely avoided turning this Sino-Japanese war into a protracted and all-out war. But he has not all the trump cards in his hands, he must prepare for the worst, once the war becomes protracted and full-scale, he must ensure that he has enough capital to support the day when the enemy is crushed.
Ideally, the war between China and Japan is only related to these two countries, but Zhao Bei knows that what he is facing is definitely not an ideal state, he is facing not only foreign enemies, but also domestic enemies, and the situation he is facing is extremely complex, and he must grasp every detail, as long as he makes fewer mistakes than the enemy. Then, he will be able to win the final victory.
In fact, as early as four years ago, Zhao Bei began to prepare for the upcoming Sino-Japanese war, on the one hand, the military industry is the focus of his attention, on the other hand, in the four "Shaanxi, Shanxi, Anhui deep mountains and old forests. In the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, and Fujian, those unknown national defense projects are still in full swing, and as long as the enemy dares to penetrate deep into the territory of this country, they will have fallen into a strategic trap.
Although these strategic preparations cost a lot of money, for this country, this is a cost-effective investment, as long as the First World War breaks out, Zhao Bei will use the military defense facilities to fight for the opportunity to turn the tide of the world, and take advantage of the opportunity to compete for a little training, Zhao Bei must seize it, and China must also seize it.
Of course, China in this era. It's like a house that is ventilated everywhere. It's hard to keep it completely confidential. China's military expansion and preparation for war is no longer a secret, the British know, the Germans know, the Japanese, the Americans also know, in this regard, the Germans are elated, the Americans are silent, the British are worried, and the Japanese jump up and down one by one must admit that China in this era is indeed no longer a dispensable role, in the international strategic pattern, China has become a chess piece that cannot be ignored, and the person who plays chess is Zhao Bei.
Now, Zhao Beizheng is full of ambition to raise the chess pieces in his hand. Looking at where the chess piece in the opponent's hand will fall, if the opponent refuses to fall, then, Zhao Bei does not mind reaching out and slapping down the chess piece in the opponent's hand, as long as the chess piece falls on the strategic chessboard in the Far East, then it is time for Zhao Bei to make a move.
This move must be a killer move, and the future pattern of the Far East is likely to be completely changed because of Zhao Bei's chess piece.
Liu Qingen is one of the key people responsible for casting this chess piece, without his help, Zhao Bei would not have such confidence to fight to the death with his opponent, for Liu Qingen, Zhao Bei is very grateful, he knows. In China in this era, there are not a few people like Liu Qingen who dream of becoming a strong country through industry, and he, as the supreme leader of this country, is responsible for using the power in his hands to help these people realize the dream of a strong country.
Of course, now Liu Qingen is sitting in the president's office, not thinking about the future dream of a strong country, but like the president, he is engrossed in a design drawing and timely writes down the president's suggestions in a notebook.
"Here, the observation slit is a little wider. Personally, I think five millimeters seems to be enough, but of course, the exact width is up to you; And here, considering the limited volume of the car, it is not possible to install a radio station for the time being, therefore, it seems to me that a small window can be opened for communication with the signal corps, of course. If it affects the ballistic performance, you can open an observation slit without opening the window, and if necessary, you can stuff a paper slip into it. Zhao Bei studied the design very seriously, and did not shy away from saying that he was a layman, indeed, as a historical traveler, it was no problem for him to draw a sketch, but if it involved specific details, he was a little uncertain, after all, he was a pseudo-military fan, and his military theoretical cultivation was very average. Although in some ways higher than this. The people of the times, but there is a specialization in the art industry, in front of Liu Qingen, a mechanical expert, he is just a layman who likes to point fingers.
Although Liu Qingen doesn't like the president's finger-pointing at the other party's family, he has indeed had a "strategic vision" of Mr. President in the past few years. Or rather, "intuition" understands very well, with successful examples of submachine guns and mortars in front. Director Liu fully believes in the president's "intuition", especially for weapons and equipment, not to mention, as an elder of Mr. President, it is necessary for him to tolerate the frivolity of this junior.
Zhao Bei's wife is Liu Qingen's niece, and in terms of seniority, Zhao Bei has to call him "uncle." Of course, when outsiders are present, this "uncle" can't be shouted casually.
After the nephew and son-in-law gave instructions to the uncle's work, he respectfully sent the elder downstairs, but did not send him out of the presidential palace.
Zhao Bei lived in a secluded courtyard by the South China Sea, not far from the commander's hall, only fifty meters away in a straight line, just raise his feet, and before he entered the courtyard, Liu Qingen heard a baby's cry, and the originally stiff face actually showed a smile.
"Zhenhua is almost a year old," Liu Qingen asked Zhao Bei.
Zhao Bei grinned, nodded, and said, "It's still half a month before it's a year old." Considering the inconvenience of the presidential palace, Cui Yi wanted to find a hotel outside, but I said, don't be so troublesome, just set up a few tables in the garden alley, and invite a few elders to come over to be lively. ”
"That's not going to work!"
Liu Qingen rolled his eyes and taught the president a few words very unceremoniously.
"You can't be sloppy when you are over the age of one. According to the rules of Cuixuan's hometown, it is to catch Zhou, why are you so careless as a father? By the way, for your grandson's birthday, your father and mother who are far away in Nanyang should always come back, right? ”
"Alas. Not to mention, I sent someone to Nanyang. But I can't find the two elders, they are all idle people, knowing that I am the president, I can rest assured that I will go to various places in Nanyang to investigate local witchcraft, as for where they are now free, I don't know. ”
Zhao Bei looked sad, this is indeed not pretending, the identity of the "returnee" he forged at the beginning was flawed, so now he has to say that his father and mother are intellectuals from scholarly families, who left their hometown and went to Hong Kong in their early years, and are now studying local traditional witchcraft in Nanyang.
Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't come to see their daughter-in-law, nor do they come to see their grandchildren, speaking of which, several elders of Cui Yi have very opinions on this, but Zhao Beizhi is not worried about the opinions of others, as long as Cui Yi doesn't mind, the world of the two is more beautiful. Of course, it was the old leisurely days, and now, the world of the two has become less comfortable due to the arrival of the little cow, as a qualified father, Zhao Bei must take on some of the obligations of the father, such as hiring a few qualified nannies for his son, and when the son is crying, take out the majesty of the father, and gently pat it on the ass a few times, of course, this is basically useless.
On the one hand, it is a state affair, and on the other hand, it is a family affair. This is the full life of this president right now. If you want to know what will happen next, please visit the 6 muscles chapter for more. Support for work
