Chapter XXV

The director of the steel plant is a German, like all senior managers, he has been tested by a lie detector, loyalty is not a problem, under Chen Shao's high salary, he will not leave, and now the family lives in Qinghe Village, and even the children are in Qinghe Village Primary School." Dear boss, it's such a pleasure to meet you, you know? Now the annual output of the steel plant in the entire industrial zone has reached 80w tons, what an incredible thing, you know, such a small industrial zone, can achieve such a high output, it is a miracle of miracles, I think, if I tell people about the situation here, others will think I am crazy."" No, no, this is not enough, I hope to increase the output of the steel mill by 20 times in five years. I wish we could all sit down."

5 years and 20 times, that data can catch up with Germany in 1913, the first World War Germany's steel production was about 1900w tons, and there is also a data, Japan's current steel production in 1913 was 25w tons, Italy 93w tons, Chen Shao and then the opportunity brought by the Red Alert surpassed Japan within a year, catching up with Italy. Chen Shao walked out of the steel factory with Cai Yi and Jiang Baili. Chen Shao brought too many surprises to the two of them, and now the two of them are still outside the gods. It wasn't until the three of them almost reached the chariot factory that they came to their senses.

The director of the tank factory is a senior technician, and Chen Shao has a firm grasp of all military weapons and equipment." Report sir, now the firearms production plant, four factories at the same time can produce 6 rifles www.xstxt.orgm mountain guns 100 guns, 105mm field guns 40, 300 mortars, all kinds of supporting shells 5w rounds. The production of tanks in a tank factory is 120 units per month, which is why the current tanks are not very technical, and if they are high, the production will drop a little. The car factory produces 360 trucks and 800 motorcycles a month."" Boss, now all the oil wells can produce 100,000 tons of oil per month, and now a total of 50w tons of oil are stored."" ......"How do you two feel?" On the way back to Qinghe Village, Chen Shao asked Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, "The sharp weapon of the country, we admire it." Would you like to see our warships and planes?" Now Chen Shao seems to recognize the way they are staying, and directly says ours." Where?" Cai Ye and Jiang Baili didn't seem to stop out of it, but their attention was on the warship and the plane, they all knew before that Chen Shao had a submarine, but in their opinion, the submarine and the warship were not of the same level at all, at least in their opinion. But there are also planes, which are much fresher than warships. From the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War to the present, there has been no real warship anywhere in China, and some of them are only old gunboats of several tens of tons, and there are pitiful few of them over 100 tons." It's not far, less than an hour by car." After that, stop the soldiers on patrol and tell them to get their vehicles ready. Go straight to Fangchenggang to go over.

40 minutes later, the group came to Fangchenggang, and before they arrived, they were discovered by soldiers on guard. When they arrived, Feng Ru and Chen Fu were already waiting there.

Chen Shao introduced them one by one. And took the two of them to visit the shipyard first. And let Chen Fu give a detailed introduction: "We now have a total of four shipyards in the shipyard, which can start the construction of twelve ships of various kinds at the same time, and now there are three 5,000-ton civilian cargo ships under construction, a city-class destroyer, and two provincial cruisers are also under construction. The remaining two docks are building submarines for Germany, and now 9 submarines have been built, and it is expected that 20 will be completed in half a year. Now we have more than 10,000 shipbuilders at home and abroad here."" You and these two friends have a good introduction to our destroyers and cruisers under construction."" The data of the city-class destroyers are (there are in the previous seventeen chapters), the provincial cruiser lead ships are called Guangxi and Guangdong, and the specific data of the cruiser are:

Standard displacement 11,200 tons,

Total length 200.6m,

Width 18.2m,

draft 6.9m;

Power system: 8 large boilers, 2 small boilers, 4 ship-based steam turbines, the maximum output of the main engine is 154,000 horsepower, and 4 shafts

The speed is 36 knots, and the endurance is 8000 knots / 14 knots;

Armament: 3 triple 22cm guns, 8 ** 40 times caliber 12.7cm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 8 25mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, four 13mm caliber machine guns, 12 61cm caliber torpedo tubes Armor: broadside waterline armor belt (maximum): 127mm, armored deck: 35mm; Main gun turret: 25 mm (frontal) Command tower: 50-100 mm Ammunition depot: 40-140 mm Carrier-based aircraft: three water reconnaissance aircraft, two catapults.

But sir, I hope to build another dockyard and start building battleships right away, I'm running out of wait."

Chen Shao ignored Chen Fu's request, what to do with building battleships now, there is not enough navy, not to mention, there is no place to sell it once it is built, the Allied navy still has spare strength, and Germany wants to buy it, but it can't pull it back if it is bought. Moreover, Chen Shao didn't want his navy to use battleships too much, and in the future, the sea would be the world of aircraft carriers, and the development of aircraft carriers would be the last word.

Cai Yi and Jiang Baili estimated that their lifetime of surprise and exclamation was not as much as it is today. However, what they saw in Qinghe Village did not have a big impact on the shipyard, they did not expect that in this small harbor, China's first real navy is sprouting and developing, they have seen many large warships of many countries when they were in Japan, that is, they have seen it in the senseless class, but it is not their own China after all, and listening to Chen Fu's tone, that kind of battleship can also be built here, which makes the two think of the warlords in the country, and feel sad for them in their hearts, this country is destined not to be theirs in the future.

After that, he took them to visit the training of naval cadets, and boarded three destroyers, and under the guidance of the crew, they visited all corners of the warship. Then go back to the shore to China's first aircraft factory, the current airport is already producing China's first generation fighters, Warhawk 1 fighters, and H-1 bombers, but it can only produce this type of aircraft, like Chen Shao's expected transport aircraft and carrier-based aircraft are still on Feng Ru's desk, and they have just begun to be designed.

The Warhawk 1 is an advanced single-man, single-wing, three-engine, with a maximum horsepower of 240 horsepower, a speed of 250 km/h, a double-barreled 12.7mm aviation machine gun, and the world's first "firing coordinator" on it.

For the first time, a front-fired bullet was able to pass through the rotating surface of the front propeller, allowing the axis of fire to be as close as possible to the centerline of the fuselage, which greatly increased the hit rate.

The H-1 bomber is a two-wing, four-engine heavy bomber. The bomb load of the aircraft reached 2,800 kilograms, which was the first Chinese bomber produced by Chen Shao based on one of the most advanced bombers after World War I. This bomber was formerly known as Tsibelin. Stark RIV, but because the engine produced at the base is more powerful, the bomb load has been increased by 800 kg.

It may be that the knowledge of aircraft in this period is not enough, so Cai Ye and Jiang Baili did not reflect much. However, the two of them were still very excited to see the planes in the aircraft factory taking off one after another, which shows that China has the ability to establish its own air force.

In fact, Chen Shao still wants to get a paratrooper immediately, but now there is no suitable transport plane, so he can only give up. If Cai Ye and Jiang Baili knew that the young man around them was still not satisfied with everything now, it was estimated that the two of them would have an urge to strangle him directly.

Afterwards, the group watched the training scene of the Navy and Air Force, and walked for a while on the pier that was still under construction, and then returned to Qinghe Village.

The next day, the sky was just slightly bright, Chen Shao took the two of them to the training ground in the barracks of a regiment, this morning Chen Shao in order to completely take down these two people, let them do things for themselves willingly, last night called Kong Wenhong and Wang Yunshan They had a short meeting, the specific content is to carry out a live-fire drill this morning. Unlimited supply of artillery shells for all kinds of equipment.

So when the three of them arrived, a regiment of fighters that had been prepared, and a hundred tanks of the tank battalion were also ready, and in the distance of the training ground there was a huge hill, and there were various markings on the hill, and there were all kinds of pillboxes and trenches on the hill. And Chen Shao, accompanied by Kong Wenhong and Wang Xiaoshan, walked to the already prepared observation platform, and also prepared a high-magnification telescope for each of them.

The first to make a sound was Wang Yunshan's artillery battalion, a battalion of 105mm field guns, as well as all the 105mm field guns specially transferred by Chen Shao from the reserve regiment, and a regiment directly under the 75mm mountain guns, a total of hundreds of artillery, emitting an earth-shattering sound. More than a dozen fighters flew in the distance, this is the only plane that Chen Shao can handle now, the aircraft's aviation machine guns swooped down and strafed, and the bombers at the height dropped bombs one after another. Fortunately, it's also time to get up, so I didn't make any noise to others.

The distant hill was already in a sea of fire, and five minutes later the tank battalion began to move, and the tank was followed by a battalion of soldiers. When the tank was about to start climbing the hill, the artillery also stopped, but the 60mm tank gun on the tank sounded, and the soldiers behind also fired at the marked number one by one, the bullets of the heavy machine gun and the light machine gun were strafing the hill without money, and the mortar unit of a company behind also set up the barrel, fired shells, and flew towards the trench on the mountain. The entire training ground was filled with gunsmoke and the smell of dust raised.

On the observation platform, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili had already stood up, in fact, from the time when the artillery battalion had just opened fire, the two of them couldn't sit still, so many artillery salvos, air-ground integrated attacks, the two of them had seen it for the first time, not only in China, but even in Japan, they would never see this kind of scene, the shock caused by the tank charge, and the speed of rapid progress, as well as the ultra-long-range shooting of the heavy machine gun, all broke their understanding of weapons. They thought about it, even if a division was placed on the mountain over there, it probably wouldn't be long before it would be wiped out. What's more, in the face of such an offensive, how many people can remember to resist, and it's good not to pee their pants, unless it's an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

In the distant mountains, when the tanks crossed the trenches and climbed to the top of the hill, the whole show was over. Chen Shao asked a soldier to drive a truck and pull several of them up the mountain.

When they reached the mountain, there were large craters, various ruins of destroyed bunkers beside them, and many collapsed trenches. Let Cai Ye and Jiang Baili feel that they are really sitting in a well and watching the sky, and under such an offensive, modern warfare has moved towards the era of competing equipment." You say, "If you were given an elite infantry division, would you be able to hold it?" Chen Shao began his offensive." Unbeatable." Although Cai Yi's short four words did not answer Chen Shao's question, these four words were also the answer in his heart.

Jiang Baili said very simply: "I can't hold it, but the bunkers have been destroyed, where can I stop it with human flesh?" Who else has such equipment?" Cai Ye and Jiang Baili glanced at each other, very puzzled.

Seeing their eyes, Chen Shao knew that they must have thought of something wrong." I'm not talking about domestic, believe me it won't be long before Japan will also start equipping tanks and planes . Not to mention Tsarist Russia in the north, and I am not engaged in these industries for domestic purposes, but also to guard against our two ill-intentioned neighbors, believe me, we will have a war sooner or later, don't look at our Taiwan and Lushun are still in the hands of the Japanese, and there are still 150w square kilometers in the Far East still under the rule of Tsarist Russia, we must take these back. In fact, don't look at me as strong and strong now, but I don't dare to expand the army too quickly, the officers under the bottom are simply not qualified for the test of large-scale battles, it is okay for them to manage a few hundred people, if the scale is large, it will inevitably cause problems. In order to protect our country from aggression, I have repeatedly begged the two of you to stay and help me, and helping me is equivalent to helping the entire Chinese nation."

Hearing Chen Shao's words, the two of them remembered all kinds of things they had encountered in Japan, and they had seen such a powerful industrial group, and they immediately made up their minds to believe that this young man might be the hope of China's future.
