Sending Professor Tesla away, Feng Chuyan turned around, her feet and neck were not very steady, and her body fell back, but she was caught by an end of her arm. Feng Chuyan's face suddenly turned red, and she just looked up to see Jiang Li.

Jiang Li pulled Feng Chuyan a hand, but he didn't expect Feng Chuyan to be as if he had no bones at this time, his whole body was soft and crispy, and two balls of soft and surprisingly tender flesh pressed on his chest made Jiang Li's mouth dry for a while, Jiang Li reached out and grabbed Feng Chuyan's stilted buttocks. Feng Chuyan didn't know where she got the strength, and she actually pushed Jiang Li to a stumbling back.

This woman, seeing Feng Chuyan running away like a frightened rabbit in three or two, Jiang Li couldn't help but smile, went back to the house and made a phone call, and it didn't take long for Liu Lanbo to rush over.

"Commander!"

"What is the current situation of the Red Fourth Front?" Jiang Li nodded and asked.

"There are two secretly funded ammunition supplies, and the current situation of the Red Fourth Front Army is stable, and according to the intelligence there, the Red Fourth Front Army intends to establish a base in Tongjiang County." Liu Lanbo said that after being surrounded and suppressed by the Central Army, the Red Fourth Front Army had to leave the Anhui-Henan area and escape to the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, and temporarily established a foothold in Tongjiang.

"Well, Ma Zhuang has been promoted to the brigade commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, I am going to transfer him to occupy Qingchuan County in the name of suppressing the Communist Party, you serve as the chief of staff, and the troops will just shoot a few shots at the sky at that time, and give some ammunition to the Red Fourth Front Army during the battle. Let the Red Fourth Front Army develop as much as possible in Sichuan, I think the situation in Jiangxi is not good, Sichuan is the country of abundance. It can be a powerful foundation for the development of the Central Red Army. No matter how bad it is. It is also necessary to grab a place in Sichuan and prepare for the future war of resistance. Otherwise, once Nanjing sends a large army into Sichuan in the name of Chao * Gong, Sichuan will be controlled by Nanjing. ”

Among the many generals, Ma Zhuang is one of the few people who can be absolutely reliable, and in order to possess Zhang Xueliang's gold, even Yu Fengzhi dared to go back. If the secret communicator was found out by Nanjing at this time, he didn't know how much trouble he would cause, and it would be more reassuring to transfer Ma Zhuang, a guy who never doubted his orders, to take Qingchuan County. To control the passage into Sichuan, the two iron mines now found in Gansu are not large in scale after all, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. Xinjiang will not be able to count on it within three or two years before the railway is built.

Even if Jiang Li tries his best to introduce refugees, the population base of the northwest is not as large as a Sichuan Province, so Jiang Li is salivating for Sichuan's manpower and material resources. If we let Nanjing gradually penetrate Sichuan, it will be extremely unfavorable to the future strategic layout.

"Yes, Commander!" Liu Lanbo was in good spirits and directly sent troops into Qingchuan County, which was not far from Tongjiang, and it would be more convenient to support the Red Army in the future. As for Jiang Li's trick, it was nothing more than secretly supporting the Red Army to conquer some territory in Sichuan. And then under the pretense of fighting the Red Army, he put some guns into the sky. Put some empty cartridges, as soon as the Red Army counterattacked, after a few blows, the troops retreated, leaving the baggage and ammunition for the Red Army. Nanjing can't get any evidence, and it can't help the 15th Route Army. It is even more impossible to force the 15th Route Army to rebel for this matter. At this time, the Red Army was suffering from the lack of a solid and stable base area, and once it got the northwest, backed by the Soviet Union, and far from Nanjing's sphere of influence, it would be extremely difficult to exterminate it.

"Commander!" After the guard's briefing, Chen Jingguo's voice sounded at the door, compared to Jiang Li's forehead that was about to wrinkle into Sichuan characters, Chen Jingguo's face looked much better.

Liu Lanbo retreated in time. Jiang Li looked at Chen Jingguo and said, "What is the progress on the arsenal side?" ”

"There is progress, the steel produced by the steel factory in Tianshui has been trial-produced in the gun factory and the gun factory, and the artillery produced cannot be compared with foreign goods for a while, but the rifle is almost the same as the 79 rifle produced before." Chen Jingguo's face was happy, and then he asked, "Last time, the commander said that he would bring in some foreign technicians to the steel factory, I don't know when it will arrive?" ”

"It will take a little time, and it will definitely be there in a month." Jiang Li pondered the time for a while, according to the information provided by Xu Yuanliang, the technicians and equipment from Germany have been on their way for a while. Moreover, in order to ensure the cooperation between Germany and Gansu in the future, Jiang Li also made a lot of efforts to exchange relatively cheap arms and foreign exchange for tungsten ore in Jiangxi. Based on Jiang Li's understanding of ordnance, Germany used a large amount of tungsten during World War II, and a considerable part of it was purchased from Nanjing.

At this time, Jiang Li accumulated a large amount of tungsten ore in advance and signed a five-year transaction contract with Nanjing. At this time, Hitler had not yet fully controlled the German regime, and there should be a buffer period of one or two years to intervene in the tungsten ore transaction, which was enough for Jiang Licai to buy a large amount of tungsten sand as the future trading capital with Germany. After all, even if Hitler made a deal with Nanjing, Jiang Li's Hu was intercepted. But it also takes time to mine Jiangxi tungsten ore in Nanjing, right? However, Jiang Li has spent the past two years stocking up a large amount of spot.

"The original 30,000 tons of steel for guns and artillery haven't been used up, right?" Jiang Li asked.

"Half of it has been used." Chen Jingguo said, "According to the commander's orders, two shifts were implemented, and a batch of machinery was added last year, and now the gun factory is producing at full capacity, and now the monthly output of rifles can reach more than 7,300 rifles." The current monthly output of light machine guns is 51 units, and the monthly output of heavy machine guns is 17 units. AS LONG AS THE SUPPLY OF STEEL IS SUFFICIENT, THE MONTHLY OUTPUT OF 60MM MORTARS 163 UNITS, 82MM MORTARS 118 UNITS, 150MM HEAVY MORTARS 37 UNITS. 37MM 27 FLAT-FIRE GUNS. 23 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS AND 15 FIELD GUNS. MONTHLY OUTPUT 105MM HOWITZER 3. ”

Relatively speaking, the production of mortars is relatively fast, compared with mountain artillery and field artillery, the production of mortars is relatively simple, but now the production of artillery mirrors has not been able to keep up for a while, in fact, there is no way to install all these artillery guns in the army, of course, for Nanjing, there is no difference whether there is a gun mirror or not, and it is more appropriate to exchange these artillery guns.

"Well, it's good that conventional weapons can reach the current scale, but technical weapons need to be researched more intensively. Then there is the ammunition," Jiang Li nodded, once the production of conventional weapons is on a large scale, it will be relatively easy to expand production later. The current production capacity has increased a lot compared with the previous Fengtian Arsenal.

"THE KEY IS THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT, ERLIKON MACHINE GUNS, ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF SELF-PRODUCTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WE ALSO NEED TO INCREASE CAPITAL INVESTMENT." Chen Jingguo nodded, and then looked at Jiang Lidao with a look of expectation.

"Don't look at me, now I don't have any money." Jiang Li waved his hand, the money of the two batches of gold had already been spent, whether it was the expansion of the army or the purchase of a large number of equipment, the funds in his hand were all consumed. Fortunately, after a large investment, those industrial factories have paid off. For example, there are some horse farms and cattle farms in Ningxia and Qinghai. Specialized in the provision of cultivated land in several provinces with cattle, transport horses.

The carriages made by the carriages and horses, the tolls of the highways, and the taxes of the millions of acres of cultivated land that have been reclaimed are also relatively heavy, and there are many unreasonable phenomena in the middle, but Jiang Li can't take care of so much for a while, there is no industrial base in the northwest, and if you want to develop rapidly, it will be like playing a catalyst, and there will inevitably be many side effects. If it weren't for the Tibetan Yi, Shao Lizi, the two masters of managing finances, Jiang Li would have to go crazy now, Rao is so, in the case of Jiang Li's large investment, army expansion, and the continuous expansion of the war, the financial hole is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, the pharmaceutical companies in the United States are now on the right track, otherwise Jiang Li would not dare to promote the industrialization of the northwest so drastically.

"Okay, I can't help it in the first half of the year, and I'll squeeze out some of your capital in the second half of the year." Jiang Li waved his hand at Chen Jingguo, who had a broken face, now there is only so much to do, and the pharmaceutical companies in the United States must also develop themselves, and it is not right to do everything in their power.
