In a luxurious compartment on a train bound for Berlin, a few cups of coffee waft through the rich and fragrant aroma. Luo Yaoguo changed into a short-sleeved shirt, leaned against the open window, and sat leisurely. An Sihua and Lu Ming were also dressed in cool clothes, and they also sat in the box and talked and laughed with Luo Yaoguo. Natalie and Lori Jung Young-hee stayed quietly on the side, just smiling and listening to their conversation.

Luo Yaoguo and An Sihua and Lu Mingdong talked for a while, and finally started to get down to business. Just look at him faintly smiled: "This time we have hope for the mission of coming to Europe, if we can cooperate with a country like Germany that has advanced technology, our heavy industry can achieve leaps and bounds." What do you think we should do with Germany first? ”

An Sihua frowned slightly, as if he was thinking: "Fuwen, now our army is okay, the 105mm light howitzer will be produced in China soon, and there is no problem in dealing with those warlords in the country, and even the book can barely deal with it." It's just that both the Air Force and the Navy are somewhat weak, and both of these aspects should be strengthened, and I suggest that Sino-German cooperation should start with aircraft and submarines first. We need to find a way to introduce the technology for the manufacture of aircraft and submarines. ”

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Lu Ming, who was silent with a smile: "Brother Ziyan, what do you think?" You're in industry, so you're more experienced than we are. ”

Lu Ming sighed slightly: "Of course, the manufacture of this aircraft and submarine is to be carried out, but it is just ...... Our foundation is too weak. There are at least 100 industrial base projects involved in this aircraft and submarine, especially some key components and key raw materials, which are basically blank, and this aspect should probably be one of the key points. Another weakness of ours is that there is a shortage of talents, and there is a shortage of talents who understand technology and management. Therefore, the cultivation of talents should also be the focus. I suggest that the first thing we should do is to train talents, to hire professional and technical teachers from Germany, to help us train skilled workers, to train engineers.

The second thing that should be carried out is the construction of basic industrial projects, which are often large-scale, time-consuming, and slow to produce results. But if you don't start now, it'll be too late when you need it in the future. The first of the basic projects is synthetic gasoline, and this technology from Farben must be obtained. At present, there is no oil on our territory, and if we go to war with Japan, our oil imports will be completely cut off, and all planes, submarines, warships, and automobiles will have to lie down. So the first item should be synthetic gasoline. And the second item should be...... Chemical fertilizer. ”

"Fertilizer?" Luo Yaoguo was slightly stunned, why is the military industry still involved in chemical fertilizers?

Lu Ming lowered his head and said with a smile: "The people take food as the sky, and a very important reason why Germany and Russia lost the war in history was the lack of food supply, so that the morale of the country was low and the people's hearts were fluctuating, and finally there was a revolution." If we were to go to war with Russia or the Soviet Union in the future, it would be a long-term and protracted war, and if we did not have an adequate food industry, we would inevitably repeat the mistakes of Germany and Russia. So fertilizers should be the second focus of industrial cooperation. ”

Luo Yaoguo frowned and nodded. In his memory of his previous life, the Kuomintang lost its main grain-producing areas in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and only relied on the Sichuan Basin and the Dongting Lake Basin in Hunan Province to maintain its strength, and by the early 40s, it suffered successive natural disasters. Outcome......

"The third focus should be on the mining and smelting of copper and aluminum, the mining and smelting of various rare metals, and the production of various special alloys. Copper is the material necessary to make ammunition shells, and we do not yet have large copper smelters, so this must be urgent. And aluminum is the main raw material for aircraft shells, and now that German experts have discovered large bauxite resources in Guangxi, we should immediately start developing them. As for various rare metals, they are the necessary raw materials for special alloys, and the latest aluminum alloys used in aircraft shells and materials for making internal combustion engines are alloys. Moreover, the quality of the engine also depends to a large extent on the special alloy technology. Britain, the United States, and Germany are now leading in this regard. We should also find ways to introduce technology.

The fourth focus is on special steel, including various plates, 10,000-ton hydraulic presses and other key technical equipment, as well as various special steel formulas. Krupp is an absolute leader in this area, and it should not be difficult to do so as long as they are willing to help.

The fifth focus should be on submarines and aircraft, including engine technology. Now the submarine is more mature, and this aircraft is being phased out very quickly. The Soviet planes assembled by the aircraft factories under our Ministry of Armaments are basically obsolete, and the quality of these aircraft is so poor that several pilots have been killed, and now they are almost grounded. It seems that we need to work with the Germans on how to arrange the development of a new aircraft.

The sixth focus is on the production of automobiles, especially trucks. Our current 105mm light howitzer can make do with horse-drawn horses, and if we wait until the 150mm howitzer comes out, then we will have to use trucks to tow it anyway, so the automobile industry must also develop.

The seventh important point is that tanks or chariots can also be called. This weapon was invented during the last world war and is now available in advanced countries, and it is said that it is specially used for positional warfare. But...... The Germans are probably more enthusiastic about this thing than we are, right? Let them come up with it, and we'll follow behind.

The eighth is all kinds of electronic devices and optical devices, well, I don't know much about this either. But now our sights for our 105mm howitzers and 75mm mountain guns are all imported, and they are expensive to death. ZEISS in Germany is a top company in this area, and it would be good to see if we could bring in some technology, even if they could open a branch factory with us. Electronics is now mainly radio, and Siemens seems to be good.

Ninth and wood processing, although the current aircraft shell is developing to aluminum alloy, but this wood aircraft still has some advantages, that is, in case of fierce fighting, aluminum alloy can also be used for emergency.

Tenth, there are all kinds of large-scale complete sets of equipment, and now there is a privately run Great China Machinery Shipyard in Shanghai that is engaged in this kind of thing. Our machinery and equipment can not always rely on imports, in case one day by others blockade will not be able to build, but it will affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

The eleventh is to import some good breeds of horses from Germany, and now our horses are a little weak......

The twelfth is a warship, which is almost a reaction to a country's comprehensive industrial strength. With our current industrial base, let's do assembly and welding first, and I guess the enthusiasm of the Germans in this regard should be very high. Sihua said that they seemed to hope that by cooperating with us, they would like to stock up on some large surface ships with us, and join the German Navy as soon as they need to. ”

Originally...... That's a lot to introduce! This China is indeed a little too backward. After listening to Lu Ming's tirade, Luo Yaoguo's eyebrows twisted again: "Ziyan, you just draft a report on the train and list all the projects to be carried out, and Sihua and I will study it again to see if there is anything missing?" With so many projects to do, it seems that not a minute should be wasted! Time is really running out for us. ”
