Chapter 212 Optics Factory

"Don't worry, I've prepared enough motors, and as for the dormitory, I'm asking from Shanghai, my country, to build a Bavarian-style building. In a few months you will be able to move in, with water and electricity. ”

Jiang Li nodded and smiled, these two Jews are still a little arrogant because of their German identity, and after two years, after Germany persecuted the Jews, these two guys will be glad that they have come to Lanzhou. Hitler's stormtroopers looted most of the assets of German Jews.

Now, Jiang Li has cooperated with some German companies, brought in technicians and engineers, and asked German companies to help set up factories in Lanzhou, so as to attract as many Jews as possible to settle in Lanzhou. Maybe these people want to go back in a year, or two. But when the news of the persecution of Jews in Germany spread, I believe that a considerable number of these people would choose to stay in the northwest. Completing a country's industrial boom is by no means a simple matter of buying some machinery.

Tsarist Russia, the predecessor of the Soviet Union, fought the First World War for several years, and then the civil war that spread throughout the country also lasted for several years, and the reason why it was able to become the world's top power through several five-year plans. Part of the reason is that education and industry during the Tsarist period gave the Soviet Union a certain talent base. Later, the introduction of equipment coincided with the exclusion of Germany from Europe, and Germany urgently needed to find a place in another country to experiment with new types of troops and weapons, and needed all industrial raw materials. Therefore, the factories that Germany helped to build were all imported with technology and sent a large number of engineers. Then the first five-year plan coincided with the outbreak of an economic crisis that affected the whole world. Worldwide overcapacity, factory closures. Whether it's Europe. Or American equipment. Mechanical, technical personnel are redundant exaggerated. In normal times, the Soviet Union's five-year industrial plan would not have been so successful.

In Gansu, which Jiang Li controlled, Ning Qing also occupied the sky at this time, but there was no geographical advantage, let alone peace. By the time the Soviet Union implemented its five-year industrial plan, the regime was basically solid, the local resources were extremely abundant, and there were still large sums of money from the Russian nobility. It also eliminated the kulak class and accumulated enormous wealth. Jiang Li's hand is only Zhang Xueliang, and in addition to the gold that Qiao Jun got from the wood, it is not only used to speculate on silver, but also more than 100 million US dollars directly used to introduce talents from Northwest Industrial Machinery. Compared with the Soviet Union, it is just a small black and a big black cloud. Of course, in the Republic of China, it is definitely the largest industrial plan in history. If Jiang Li's overseas layout is counted, I'm afraid this scale will rise a little further.

If it is approaching, Jiang Li has a better way, but the Japanese army's continuous advance makes Jiang Li have no more choices, especially in the introduction of talents, and now the all-out war of resistance has not yet started. Once the fight starts, can you expect those technical talents to come to the northwest through the war zone? And there are so many places in the world to go. The United States, which is more prosperous and wealthy, is also safer, so why does it have to come to the northwest?

In terms of conditions and geographical location, the northwest is not as good as the United States, so Jiang Li has to lay the foundation from now on. In Germany, the Jews had lived for far too long, and they were no longer much different from the Germanic peoples, and in Hitler's purges, these people were basically swept away, including a large number of financial engineers, various technical engineers, skilled technicians in factories, mechanics, and even many academic giants who won Nobel Prizes in their fields. If some of these people can be attracted to the northwest, it will be a huge promotion for all walks of life in the northwest.

The stupid bird flies first, since the conditions in the northwest are not as good as people, it is natural to make more preparations, taking advantage of the fact that Hitler still has more than two years to clean up the Jews, and also taking advantage of the fact that it is now an economic crisis, Jiang Li wantonly introduced some equipment factory technicians, among which he deliberately favored the Jews. The construction of supporting hydropower facilities in Lanzhou, Tianshui, and Yinchuan cities will not only be conducive to the development of industrialization in Northwest China, but also improve the living environment of the local people and Jews. The most important thing is to legislate to protect the interests of the Jews, so that although the conditions in the northwest are still relatively backward, the Jews who have already lived here will have a preconceived impression, when Hitler looted Jewish property on a large scale, through these Jews, it will affect the attitude of other people, and Jiang Li can attract more Jews to the northwest by providing some policy support. Originally, many of these Germans were highly educated professionals, and it would take at least ten years for the northwest to train them alone. The question is where there is so much time in times of war.

Of course, this is a long-term layout, but at the moment, because of the arrival of the two guys Gounod and Manste, the Northwest began to have its first optical factory for the production of polished sights, including sniper scopes, telescopes, gun scopes, etc.

"Well, Your Excellency the General has paid enough salary, and we will be able to afford the salary you pay, but due to the limited manpower, most of the manpower provided by His Excellency the General may not even be as good as the apprentice, so in the early stage, His Excellency the General should not want to have a satisfactory output." Manste said with a shrug.

"I'm mentally prepared for this, and the first batch of scopes purchased from your company is enough for the time being. At the factory in Lanzhou, you helped me to produce the 3x scope first, and then carried out the more difficult production after the apprentices became proficient. Jiang Li said the idea that he had drawn up a long time ago, and it was naturally unrealistic to directly launch a scope 6 times or even higher. A 3x scope is naturally not enough for a professional sniper. But it can be equipped in the hands of soldiers in the army who are slightly better at marksmanship. In actual combat, the soldiers' rifle killings were only about 200 meters. Those with slightly better marksmanship can extend this distance to more than 300 meters, or even close to 400 meters, with a triple sight. Once it is deployed, the damage caused to the Japanese army is very considerable.

In addition, although the Northeast also produces artillery, but the previous artillery scopes are all directly imported, the artillery mirrors are easy to damage, and they are very expensive, and there is no way to import them in the future, so the Northwest will have to develop sooner or later, so Jiang Li bought a batch of artillery scopes from the German optical company, 6 times, as well as a small number of sniper scopes of higher magnification, and a batch of equipment. Of course, the premise of reaching this order is that the German optical company helps Jiang Li also build a factory in Lanzhou, and sends technicians to guide the production and put the factory on a normal track, I am afraid that this is also the first optical factory in the Republic of China.
