"After the September 18 Incident, the central authorities began to carry out national defense education, training reserve sergeants, 21,811 graduates of reserve colleges and universities, and 106215 graduates of secondary schools. By the end of 1936, 17,490 high school students had qualified as reservists, and 890 had been posthumously recruited as officers. ”

"The Kaifeng Arsenal has been fully incorporated into Gongxian, Jinan, Jinling, Guangdong Arsenal, and Shanghai Arsenal have all been dismantled and merged into Hanyang according to their nature, and the two factories have been merged. Hanyang is an important arsenal that produces guns and shells, and Hanyang produces gunpowder. Taiyuan produces heavy artillery. The Huayin Arsenal manufactured new weapons, added new equipment, expanded production, and expanded the Hengyang Arsenal. The chemical plant originally planned to be set up in Wuxi has been completed in Gongxian County. ”

"In terms of armaments, due to the historical reasons of tens of millions, weapons are purchased from abroad, and there are many kinds of weapons, and they are available in all countries. Therefore, the parts are not interchangeable, and it is difficult to use bullets. Wartime replenishment is extremely difficult. At present, there are difficulties in the restructuring of the local army, but a considerable number of Czech light machine guns, rifles, and heavy machine guns have been initially unified in imitation of Germany, and the caliber is set at 7.9 mm. The mortar is copied from France, but the caliber is slightly larger than that of the French street, which is set at 8.2 mm. According to the reaction of the combat troops, the shooting power is extremely significant, and the two weapons of the mortar and the Makqin heavy machine gun are the most powerful. Not under the same kind of weapons of the Japanese army. ”

"With regard to ordnance, due to the aging of the equipment, production is hindered, so each plant buys new machinery, repairs old equipment, and rebuilds the building on its own. At present, most of the equipment of the Hanyang Gunpowder Factory and the bullet factory are newly purchased. The Gongxian Arsenal also purchased new machines, and the efficiency of the new artillery lathes purchased was more than ten times higher than before, and the Jinling Arsenal was completely renovated, and automatic machines for making fuses and grinding machines for making mortars were purchased. A full set of equipment imported from Germany. Gas mask factories were opened, and arsenals in Xi'an, Nanchang, and Zhuzhou were opened, and the scale of gunpowder factories was expanded to a certain extent. ”

At present, the Jinling Arsenal has an annual output of more than 1,800 82 mortars and 385 hand-held machine guns. The monthly output is 33 Makqin heavy machine guns. ”

"The Shanghai Arsenal has a monthly output of 6 75 mountain guns, 79 machine gun bullets, and 2.4 million rounds of 65 rifle bullets each."

"Hanyang Arsenal has a monthly output of 2 75 mountain guns, 4,700 88-type rifles, and 35 30-section heavy machine guns. Hanyang Gunpowder Factory produced 30 tons of gunpowder. ”

"Gongxian Arsenal has an annual output of 50,000 official rifles, 3,120 first-year rifles and 25 Czech light machine guns."

"The production of all types of guns and ammunition has more than doubled"

"From the previous mess. In the case of civil war, you can still prepare some materials and do so many things, and you have worked hard. Chairman Jiang nodded, his family knew how embarrassed Nanjing's finances were, and while raising hundreds of thousands of Central Army, he also had to raise the navy and buy airplanes. And since he came to power. There was hardly a year without fighting, the earliest Northern Expedition. went to the back and fell out with the Gui family, Tang Shengzhi, Zhang Fakui, Li Jishen, Jiang Guangnai, Yan Xishan. Feng Yuxiang. Pack up one by one. The Red Army was also encircled and suppressed several times in the middle. Plus a few fights with the Japanese army. There is no one who has a year of peace. He was clear about how difficult the central government's financial problems were, and this was also the reason why Sun Ke had to ask Chairman Chiang to go back in less than a month after trying to get him out of the field. Except for Chairman Chiang, for the time being, there is indeed no one who can clean up the situation in Nanjing and suppress the forces of all parties.

"It is the duty of a lowly rank to bow down to the commission." Chen Cheng bent down and said respectfully.

"The central government has done a lot of things. However, in recent years, the carriages and horses and ships to the northwest have never been cut off, and now the wagons from Lingbao to Lanzhou are lined one after another. Chen Cheng doesn't know much about the situation in the Northwest, you should know more, tell me how Jiang Li is running the Northwest now. After Chen Cheng retired, Chairman Jiang was still heavy in his heart, and summoned Dai Li to ask with a heavy heart.

"Commander, it can only be described in four words, unfathomable, and now where the northwest has come, I can't even figure out how humble it is." Dai Li hesitated and said.

"Oh? What do you mean by this that is still unknown to the Northwest for several years? Chairman Jiang smiled coldly.

"The chairman of the committee will be humble and talk about it in detail." Dai Li shuddered, don't look at his current status, even those group army commanders have to look sideways, but this is all based on Chairman Chiang's identification with him. Once Chairman Chiang feels that one day he is redundant, I am afraid that the next day he will die unexpectedly in an accident.

According to the information collected by the lowly position, several hydropower stations built in the Yellow River section of the northwest have strengthened the embankments, and the new diversion ditches built in recent years are worth hundreds of millions. The combined value of several other fertilizer plants is not less than 20 million. The price of the railroad should have been more expensive than that in the east, and the value was probably not less than 10,000 yuan. Even more. ”

"What about militarily? Where has Jiang Li's Northwest Army gone now? Since Jiang Li withdrew his troops from northern Sichuan, there has been no major movement in the past few years, and there is no way to see how strong the Northwest Army has become, but it is rumored that the Northwest Army has expanded rapidly in the past two years.

"Commission, Jiang Li's army expansion speed is very fast, since the assassination of Jiang Li last time, Jiang Li's internal purge of the traitors has been very meticulous, and some of the people sent in by the lowly position are either at the lowest level and don't know much, or they have been purged. After sorting out some sporadic intelligence, it is preliminarily speculated that the Western and Northwest armies should now have at least 15 infantry divisions and 3 cavalry brigades, and the cavalry brigades of the Northwest Army are the same size as the cavalry divisions of other local troops. In addition, the Northwest Army has about 3 infantry brigades. It has about 100 aircraft of various types. Due to the strict security of the arsenal in the northwest, although some of the personnel arranged by the lowly post are lurking in, the division of labor in the arsenal in the northwest is very fine, and the factory area is also different. It is difficult to get the exact data inside, and at present, it is only known that the scale of the Northwest Arsenal is probably no less than the original Fengtian Arsenal, or even surpassed. There is a document here for the data of the Fengtian Arsenal, please take a look at it. ”

"Doesn't it mean that Jiang Li's New Northwest Army has reached more than 200,000? I have been fighting in the north and south for many years, and although Jiang Li is young, he is really a fierce opponent in my life! After hearing Dai Li's inaccurate information, Chairman Jiang sighed heavily, knowing that today, even if Gansu was given to Yang Hucheng, it would not be so troublesome, in comparison, although Yang Hucheng was also brave and strategic, but the Seventeenth Route Army also split him several times, and Jiang Li's new Northwest Army was run like an iron bucket, and those separated from the Northeast Army were not happy with Nanjing, Jiang Li led them all the way to fight, and he had indeed established a very high authority in the continuous victory. If Jiang Li's forces entered Shaanxi, Chairman Chiang would never come to Huaqingchi. (To be continued.) )
