"That's the only way, but we must also pay attention to the situation that the Imperial armored forces have suffered several major losses, whether the opponent's tanks are the Northwest Army's own or the Soviet's, the Empire must use the fastest speed to develop enough tanks to fight against it." Hirohito nodded in agreement, although there were occasional small setbacks on the front line, but until now, the emperor's warriors under his command have been attacking cities and conquering the land all the way. Those casualties are still acceptable.

Some people are happy and some are worried, compared to the ecstatic Sugiyama Moto, Rice Masamitsu couldn't help but be a little worried at this time. Increasing investment in tanks will undoubtedly weaken the efforts to invest in the navy, after all, there is only so much rice in the pot, and if the more it is allocated to the army, the navy will definitely have less. It seems that the Navy must speed up its own plans, and must not follow the rhythm of the Army.

Only when a person encounters a problem will he think about solving it. The same is true of a country, the historical Japanese armored forces also began to be rapidly strengthened after the collision with the American army in the South Seas, and at this time, in front of the Northwest Tomahawk tanks, after the head was broken and bloodied, whether it was out of need or out of dignity, Chu Hirohito, and even the entire army, could not tolerate the fact that the weak Northwest Army had more advanced tanks than them

"Your Excellency Commander, we sincerely congratulate your army on its victory this time, and it is really surprising that your army has such combat effectiveness." The beard on Bollev's lips shook rapidly, and there was a cunning in his eyes.

"Thank you, when the country is in danger, the warriors below will always become more brave and fearless. Their bravery was the cornerstone of this victory. I wonder what happened to General Borlev coming to me this time? Jiang Lipi said with a smile, it seems that he still underestimated the influence of these Soviets in the red forces, of course, the foundation of Jiang Li's operation in the northwest in recent years is also beyond Bollev's imagination, as early as when Bollev was active in Lanzhou, it was already in his sight. Bollev searched around for news about the Tomahawk tanks of the Northwest Army, but was pushed back and forth, so this trip to Luoyang took place.

"Naturally, there is something wrong, I heard that your army has developed an extremely powerful tank, and occupies an extremely critical position in this tank battle, my country is very interested in this tank of your army, and I hope that Your Excellency the commander can make it convenient and provide a sample car to our country." Brelev thought of the various pushers he had met in the northwest before, and had to come all the way to Luoyang, and he couldn't help but feel angry, "This time I don't want to hear some prevarication words, which is a serious injury to my country's feelings, you must know that in the transportation of a large number of materials for your country, as well as the sale of a large number of arms transactions, our country has paid enough effort, if these are not duly rewarded, then our country will reconsider the relationship between the two sides." ”

"Your Excellency General, the Tomahawk tank is a new type of tank developed by our side, although the combat power is good, but there are still many places that need to be improved, and it is not as invincible as the news that His Excellency the General has gotten. Of course, given the good relationship between you and me, it is not a big problem to provide a tank prototype. However, I also have a small request, and I hope that your country will not refuse. ”

Hearing Bollev's threatening words, Jiang Li was not angry, a weak country has no diplomacy, not to mention that at this time, the lifeline of foreign transportation in the northwest was still in the hands of the Soviets, although the battle situation of the tank battle in the Julu area was blocked before, I didn't expect the Soviets to know so quickly. Of course, even if the other party knows about such a large-scale war, it can't be considered a strange thing, after all, the Soviet Union is such a big country, and its background is not something he can guess. Maybe there were Soviets spies on the Japanese side. It will only take two months at most for the entire line to be opened to traffic on the Yunnan Highway, but this rushed highway is still much worse than the transportation volume of the Siberian Railway.

"This is the best, and if Your Excellency Commander has any requests, please ask for them." Bollev's face softened slightly.

"I need your country to send technical personnel and equipment to help me build a large steel plant, and I am short of personnel, technology, and equipment. At present, I have fought a few battles with the Japanese army, and the ammunition reserves and ammunition reserves in the northwest are almost squeezed, and now the Japanese army is organizing a large-scale battle, and their heritage is only showing the tip of the iceberg, and there are not enough supplies, and I don't know how long I can hold on. Of course, in this process, we will still try to provide the human, material and financial resources that should be given. ”

Jiang Li spread his hands and said, as the saying goes, when you have money, you are annoying, and when you don't have money, even if there are enough steel resources controlled by the northwest now, but the construction of steel plants is not an overnight thing, fortunately, there is still a certain amount of surplus production capacity of several steel plants in the northwest before, and now there is a sufficient supply of iron ore, and the factory is nervously expanding production capacity while training employees. Production can ramp up quickly in a short period of time, but there is a limit to this, and once the machines in these factories have been used to the limit, new factories will have to be invested to expand steel production. The iron ore reserves and mining conditions in Baotou are better, and Jiang Li has invested in technical backbones, as well as some technicians hired from the United States.

But the situation in Sichuan is complicated, and the transportation foundation is even worse, Jiang Li also has the intention to use a group of people from Mr. Zhou's side, after all, in some cases, the speed and efficiency of their concentration are indeed good. It can also be used to separate some of the energy. After all, the battle of Julu leaked so quickly this time, and the opinions from Lanzhou made him have to make some arrangements. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou and those people also understand people, after all, they are not the echoes of the Soviet Union, and the Soviets still do not know that the Northwest has broken through the technology of crude oil refining, and both the efficiency and quality of refining have been thrown off the Soviet Union. Otherwise, with the character of the Soviet Union, it is inevitable that the Northwest will not be forced to transfer this technology, and the Northwest at this time does not have much bargaining capital in the face of the behemoth of the Soviet Union.

"Where does Your Excellency Commander want to build this large steel plant? What is the approximate mechanical capacity required? Bullev asked.

"Sichuan, some iron ore has been found over there, if the iron ore over there can be successfully converted into weapons, then in the future, the northwest will have enough strength to continue to deal with the Japanese army. I need Sichuan to supply 800,000 tons of crude steel to the northwest at least a year. (To be continued.) )
