Spring is blooming, and the earth is recovering.

After a winter, the direct line was digesting the interests of the Anhui system, and the southeast coalition army also took the opportunity to stabilize the territory of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

The wharf along the river in Ma'anshan is clearly visible, and two huge chimneys are constantly smoking not far away, and under the chimneys is the steel factory in Ma'anshan. There are two huge transport ships moored on the wharf, and iron ore is constantly being unloaded from the ship, and the vicinity of the wharf is already full of iron ore, and there are also many rail cars pulling truckloads of iron ore into the iron factory.

The huge steel mill has actually only been built for more than half a year, but it has already started production. In fact, this is not the popular open-hearth furnace, but the converter that has long been abandoned by various countries, and the two 30-ton converters are still specially customized, because the world has basically stopped producing this useless steelmaking furnace.

The reddish molten steel poured down and quickly solidified into ingots. There is also a high-pressure induction cooker not far away, and the whole plant seems to be in full swing.

Li Bufan, Wu Di, adjutant Li Hengshan and chief of staff Li Huashan nodded constantly, and Li Jindao, a metallurgical expert on the side: "According to the normal situation, a steel plant needs three years to be put into operation, but we reasonably arrange our colleagues to start the construction of multiple project plants, and it can be put into operation in half a year." Hehe, it's just that the equipment is put into production, and the ore has to be imported, and we now want to batch the mining stone, at least it will take more than a year. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "How much capacity is there now?" ”

Li Jindao: "The monthly output of more than 70,000 tons is mainly due to the fact that the workers are still relatively rusty and waste a lot of time, but also for the sake of safety." The converter is not as good as the open-hearth, if the open-hearth I think these two steel-making furnaces are thousands of tons a month. ”

Wu Di said proudly: "This is the benefit of technological leadership, in the blink of an eye, China will become a steel power, if the production capacity is properly developed, the annual output of steel million tons." Who stipulates that steel mills have to mine themselves, so what's wrong with us importing ore? Deposit two or three million tons of iron ore, and even if those mongrels stop exporting, our mines will be able to meet production needs by then. What is really important is the induction blast furnace to refine special steel, which is a serious 800 military steel that can make cannons. ”

Li Jindao: "At present, it will take time for high-quality special steel to be refined, and large-caliber heavy artillery cannot be made, but mortars and artillery below 100 mm are still no problem." ”

Li Bufan nodded, the arsenal has produced weapons and ammunition, and has produced three types of mortars: 60 mm, 82 mm and 105 mm, as for other artillery, it has not been produced for the time being. This is all due to taking out several treasures from the mouth of Wu Di, and getting a huge wealth of two or three hundred million oceans in order to import a large number of equipment.

In the sky, a biplane swept through the sky.

Wu Di laughed and said, "How is it? Air Force expert, Li Fei's J-1 fighter built at the aircraft factory in Hexian County, the Yangtze River-360 horse-powered, with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, is already the most advanced in this era. It's really too poor, and it can only be at this level. It is possible to mount two 30-kilogram bombs to bomb the enemy, but unfortunately, the country's background is too poor, and there is a lack of technicians, so it can only build five in a month. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you have less, talents can be cultivated slowly, and the output will go up." ”

Wu Di patted his forehead and said, "Hey, my commander-in-chief, you think you have plenty of time?" ”

Li Bufan frowned and said: "Didn't you say that there are still more than ten years left in the Anti-Japanese War?" Why not have time? ”

Wu Di made a look of collapse and said, "Are you brainless? Do you have to wait for Xiao Yuben to call? Won't you unify the whole country first, and then fight over and destroy Xiao Yueben? Besides, it won't be long before you have a great chance to defeat him. ”

Li Bufan's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? What chances? ”

Wu Di said proudly: "Two years later, there will be a big earthquake in Tokyo, which will definitely hurt the vitality of Xiao Yueben. So in my experience of reading 10,000 anti-war novels, you have to start preparing. ”

Li Bufan said with a smile: "Let's not expect the enemy to take the lead a few years ago, we have to kill Xiao Yueben." ”

Wu Di said proudly: "That's it, pit Xiao said that it was a great pleasure in life. First of all, we have to prepare the submarine. ”

Li Bufan said: "It's already prepared." Li Jian, an expert in naval equipment, wow, he designed small submarines, didn't he order parts in scattered countries across the country? The Lee Navy now also has a small fleet, with one cruiser, four destroyers, and eight torpedo boats. ”

Wu Di glanced at Li Bufan and said with contempt: "I said commander-in-chief, don't be so hillbilly?" If you want to develop a navy, you have to have a naval base. Where is the naval base? One of the best naval bases in China is Jiaozhou Bay, which is now in the hands of Xiao Yueben, and there is no play at present. The other one is in Fujian, and that place is called Sanduao. Do you understand? ”

Li Bufan shook his head and said: "I don't understand, but Li Jian said that our surface fleet is too weak, and it is not people's food, so the temporary naval base must be built inland, otherwise it will be destroyed by someone else's provocation and war, then it will have to vomit blood, how much does the naval base cost?" So Jiujiang is the best choice, but it's not the time to fight with the direct family. ”

Wu Di patted his forehead and said, "My brother, Uncle Commander-in-Chief, who told you to build a large naval base worth hundreds of millions now?" Can't you do some prep work in advance? What to get a repair shop first? And then slowly perfected? Do you think an advanced naval base--shipyard is so easy to build? For three or five years, the shadow is invisible. ”

Li Bufan said: "You mean to send someone to lay the foundation now?" ”

Wu Di shrugged and said, "This thing is on someone else's territory, can you rest assured?" You must know that now Fujian's Li Houji has flattered his direct family. ”

Li Bufan smiled and said: "For a long time, you are preparing for me to send troops to occupy Fujian." In fact, it's not worth it just to fight Fujian for a shipyard, right? How to say that Li Houji is also our Anhui line. ”

Wu Di pouted and said, "You're stupid again." When you say this, I seem to be encouraging you to fight a civil war, but didn't I say that two years later, there was a great earthquake in Tokyo? Are you just going to just beat people back and be done? ”

"Taiwan!" Li Bufan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wu Di strangely: "Do you want me to take the opportunity to take Taiwan?" ”

Wu Di Zhengse said: "That's right. To defeat Yueben, he must first take Taiwan, and taking Taiwan is tantamount to cutting off his channel for importing and exporting materials and commodities from the direction of Southeast Asia, and even breaking diplomatic relations in the Pacific Ocean is not impossible, which is equivalent to strangling Xiao Yueben's neck. At that time, wasn't Xiao Yueben's life and death in your hands? ”

Li Bufan said dissatisfiedly: "You said it nicely, how can I go to Taiwan?" Fly over. Even if our navy is all combined, it is not enough for people to beat them up. ”

"Who said they were going to fly over." Wu Di straightened his waist and said, "Who is Lao Tzu?" Lao Tzu is a traverser. You know? There are many ways to kill Xiao Yueben. Let's land by boat in the open. ”

Li Bufan said angrily: "You are sick." Dare to love is not your soldier, don't you feel distressed when you die? ”

"Your sister, can I do this kind of thing?" Wu Di said unhappily, "Who said that surface ships only decide everything?" Lao Tzu was attacked by underwater submarines, bombed by planes in the sky, and Xiao Yue dared to send their combined fleet to the Taiwan Strait? ”

Li Bufan said: "I know the power of submarines, and I participated in the world war in Germany. Can airplanes? Hehe, don't be funny, what warship do you want to sink with those thirty kilograms of bombs? Mosquito boats are pretty much the same. Throw it on a battleship, it would be nice to blow off a layer of paint. ”

"I don't know!" Wu Di looked at Li Bufan with the eyes of a hillbilly and said, "Who said that a plane can only carry thirty kilograms of bombs?" In the first war in Europe, there were planes that could carry one and a half tons of bombs, so Li Fei researched a twin-engine medium bomber, or even a four-engine heavy bomber, and it would not be long before it was finished? Hundreds of kilograms of bombs, even torpedoes, any ship can blow you to shreds. ”

Li Bufan said unhappily: "Do you think other people's air defense weapons are dry food?" ”

Wu Di laughed and said: "As far as I know, the Navy is disgusted with air defense weapons and thinks that it is a cowardly act, and even if there is one, there will not be many for this." Then the two sides will fight, who can't stand it, Xiao said that Ben is so childish, what to fight with us? Drive their navy away, then we can land openly, recover Taiwan, and drive Xiao Yueben to the Pacific Ocean to feed Wang Ba. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "You, you think about the landing battle too simply. During the World War, British Admiral Winston Churchill planned a Turkish landing operation, but the landing of 300,000 troops was landed, but he was beaten like a dog by Turkey in a narrow strip of land of dozens of kilometers, and Churchill was forced to step down. He said that he was much stronger than the Turks, and we were far worse than the British. I can't think of any other fate than to die in such a fight, and the naval guns of our fleet are not as strong as the army artillery. ”

Wu Di smiled: "I can't see that you are quite knowledgeable." Don't forget, we still have Tiger Ben, and we can secretly send more than 1,000 Tiger Ben to Taiwan with submarines, and I believe that with their combat effectiveness and air fire support, there will be no problem in seizing a wharf. ”

Li Bufan said: "Even if what you say is reasonable. But it can be said that I suffered a big loss, and went back to load the warship with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, and we had no follow-up troops, no supplies, and the troops landing on the island would be consumed by them sooner or later. ”

Wu Di laughed and said: "Our submarine is not vegetarian, and his warships dare to run around?" Besides, who said we don't have supplies? We can be airdropped by planes, we can transport it underwater with submarines. As long as we invest more than 50,000 heavy troops at a time and take Taiwan in one fell swoop, it is basically impossible for Xiao Yue to take it back. Don't forget, there was an unprecedented earthquake in their capital, and according to historical records, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured in the earthquake. ”

Li Bufan was taken aback: "So powerful? That's a good opportunity. ”

Wu Di nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, you can't wait, you must attack quickly!" ”
