"If we continue to expand on the scale we are doing now, there is still hope that we can catch up with Japan. More than 11,000 combined machine tools have arrived in Xinjiang one after another, including more than 11,000 combined machine tools, and more than 17,000 have not arrived. With these equipment, our industrial scale has not only been upgraded to a higher level, but those Jewish engineers, as well as some engineers who have returned from the United States, do have a few brushes, relying on the machine tools that were imported from Germany before, and the machine tools purchased from the United States. At present, the Northwest itself can produce three or four hundred various medium-sized and small machine tools a month. With this upgrade, whether it is an airplane, a tank, or other aspects, the Northwest Industry will have a leap forward in quality and quantity. ”

Tibetan Yi said with a pleasing face. You must know that in this Taiyuan battle, Yan Xishan only had time to withdraw more than 2,000 small machine tools from Taiyuan. The rest of the medium-sized and large-sized ones all fell into the hands of the Japanese army. Of course, after this northwest bombing, the supplies that the Japanese army really fell into their pockets must have been greatly reduced. This time, the number of machine tools directly imported from the northwest has reached an astonishing more than 28,000 units, and the number alone is more than 14 times that in Yan Xishan's hands at this time, not to mention that Yan Xishan's hands are all small equipment, which cannot be compared with this large-scale purchase in the northwest in terms of quality.

At this time, Tibetan Shiyi was even more impressed by Jiang Li's decision to do his best to introduce Jews, and he would never be able to digest this machine tool by himself alone. Even if the Northwest has invested heavily in education and technical schools, the talents cultivated by the Northwest Polytechnic colleges every year are still a drop in the bucket, after all, even if these people graduate, they cannot immediately become skilled technicians. Not to mention being an engineer.

But these Jews had previously worked in all walks of life in Germany. What they bring to the Northwest is more than just a mechanic on the books. The number of technicians. There is also the rigorous work attitude of the Germans. And put yourself in a position of weakness. The modest and cautious local training personnel in the northwest are crazy to absorb these exquisite skills with a student attitude, and over time, it has also made the industry in the northwest leap forward with the fastest speed in terms of quality. The Northwest is closing the distance with the Great Powers as fast as it can. Compared with Nanjing's statistics on the industrial population of the Republic of China, among the millions of Jews introduced in the northwest, the introduction of Jews in the northwest was targeted and purposeful. In addition to some of the top academics, professors. And the families of these people.

Eradicate the elderly, the weak, the women and the children. Among these millions of Jews, more than 200,000 skilled workers have been directly reserved for the northwest, and a considerable number of them are still engaged in precision instrument processing. Four times of them. Six times as many sniper scopes, gun scopes, and even the bomb sights used in the Kunpeng heavy bomber, which has now begun trial production, are all thanks to the participation of these Jews. The phrase that everything is difficult at the beginning is most suitable for the development of a country's industry, but the blowout development of any country's industry is due to the long primitive accumulation in the early stage. It can be said that because of the shortcut to the introduction of Jews, the Northwest has omitted a considerable amount of accumulation time. Previously, Nanjing counted the population engaged in the machinery industry in the whole country except for the northwest. There are only more than 17,000 people, while Shanxi accounts for more than 6,000 in this regard.

Among the more than 200,000 Jews, there are at least 60,000 or 70,000 people engaged in the machinery industry. In recent years, the Northwest has only trained about 160,000 workers in this area, and it has directly brought seven or eight thousand people from the Fengtian Arsenal and some mechanical processing factories in Fengtian. From 1932 to the present, it has been a full six years of accumulation.

Although the Northwest has made a lot of efforts in recent years. And a lot of money was invested, but at that time, the light industry in the northwest was a blank, not to mention the chemical industry and heavy industry. Jiang Li needs to lay more than just heavy industry. But now, most of the most difficult beginning has passed, with these external dollars that are constantly being pulled, as well as external talents. Only then did the industrial development of the northwest forge ahead. With these data as a foundation, even if Nanjing's call for forming dozens of German mechanics was so high before, Jiang Li did not regard Nanjing as a real opponent.

If we directly choose to explode troops like Nanjing, and ignore the construction of the rear and the investment in light and heavy industries. The Northwest Army could have taken Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and even Hebei long ago. Basically control the north face. But these rules were not strong and would only be vulnerable to the Japanese attack. At present, the strength directly controlled by the Northwest Army is not as good as that of Nanjing, but the data on the battlefield is far less impressive than that of the Northwest. Although the northwest also lost Suiyuan, Baoding, and even Shijiazhuang, it was defeated, but even if it was defeated, it was an orderly retreat, and a new defense line was built in the rear. Instead of retreating in a swarm of hundreds of thousands of troops like Songhu, it directly led to the bitter fruit of the fall of Nanjing.

"Yes, these machine tools, as well as the physical and chemical talents continuously cultivated in the northwest, are the foundation for us to gain a foothold in the future."

After hearing the news, Jiang Li also breathed a sigh of relief, the victory or defeat of one or two and a half battles on the front line is a little insignificant compared with these industrial machine tools. With the accumulation of these six years, under the training of technical schools and various polytechnics, the shortage of professionals will be greatly improved, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. After the arrival of this batch of machine tools, it is not only the production capacity of various products in the northwest that has been improved, but also the machinery manufacturing will move forward significantly. After having these machine tools, as long as the northwest is theoretical, it will also have the manufacturing capacity of medium and even large machine tools.

During World War II, Japan used third-rate machine tools to build first-class warships, relying on its experience in shipbuilding, as well as a large number of skilled workers, but the speed of the system was pitifully slow. However, the United States is able to produce all kinds of large warships like dumplings, and the construction period is much shorter than that of Japan. Or Japan does not pay enough attention to the machinery manufacturing industry. The United States uses a large number of semi-automatic and some new machine tools. With an updated design, the production of new weapons can be fully launched in a very short time.

This kind of capability is something that Japan and the Northwest do not have now. Otherwise, the Northwest has now been able to produce more advanced Flying Dragon 2 fighters, as well as more thick-skinned Tomahawk tanks, but because it does not have this kind of industrial capacity, it has to continue to produce the previously relatively backward Flying Eagle series fighters, as well as the Avenger tanks with low firepower and low defense. to keep the Northwest now producing aircraft, tanks.
