Chapter 135 "China and Japan Must Be Friendly"

A test is underway at the Hanyang Military Industrial Group Shiyàn Field, in a valley far from the city. [Update]

"Three hundred meters away, 100 mm armor plates." This is empty Liu Qingen, there is no need to design a semi-automatic rifle for the US military to prove himself, even if the current scale of the Hanyang Military Industrial Group is looking at the world, how can the scale of 100,000 people be on the top of the front row. For President Fang Da, who gave him a chance to serve the country, Liu Qingen has always been grateful.

"Yes, the Germans have great armor-piercing projectile technology!" Fang Jianxiong also sighed, he could see clearly in the telescope, and after a bang, the flag of the soldier in front of him was clear, and he pierced the 100-millimeter steel plate. Before the Germans got the technology, the rockets produced in China had no problem hitting ordinary reinforced concrete pillboxes, but if they wanted to achieve this effect at a distance of 300 meters, it would not be possible.

"This kind of bazooka can be said to be the most sought-after equipment of various units recently, easy to use, easy to carry, as a platoon-level support firepower, can hit tanks and pillboxes, and the cost performance is absolutely first-class." solved the armor-piercing projectile technology, and Liu Qingen's mood was also quite good. The bazooka is a kind of infantry firepower developed by the Wuhu Military Industry Group, but it failed to solve the problem of armor-piercing shells, until the beginning of the exchange of visits between China and China, with a series of leading weapons such as radar and new aircraft, in exchange for a large number of Chinese workers in the process of climbing the science and technology tree missing technology, including tungsten steel armor-piercing projectile technology.

"If the output can come up, I think it can be put at the class level. Now there are 13 people per squad, two submachine guns, one universal machine gun. Kujo semi-automatic. It is better to remove the two-shot semi-automatic and add a two-person firepower team. Fang Jianxiong said and looked at Liu Qingen with inquiring eyes, Chief Engineer Liu frowned and said: "The amount is still too large, the skilled workers here in the Hanyang factory are relatively large and high-quality, and the current output is at the level of one thousand per month." It's not that there is not enough equipment, it's that there aren't that many skilled workers available. ”

"It's not said in the newspaper. Wuhan Higher Vocational and Technical School is the largest technical school in China, sending more than 5,000 skilled industrial workers to the society every year. Fang Jianxiong laughed and teased, and Liu Qingen said, "Do you believe what the newspaper says?" There are 5,000 graduates every year. Not all of them are qualified to enter the Hanyang factory. Even if you enter the Hanyang factory, what can you learn in three years of technical school? It's just to be familiar with all kinds of work, and it's okay to do a few rough jobs with a few blanks. When I really entered the Hanyang factory, I had to be apprenticed to the master for two years. Only those who can be qualified are considered skilled workers. ”

Fang Jianxiong was also quite surprised when he heard this: "What? After graduating from a technical school, you have to take the master for two years? ”

Liu Qingen nodded. sighed: "This is the case, young people really don't learn much in technical schools, they are all rough jobs. Individual people with good understanding can take it, and most of them have to be brought out by the master to be considered a regular worker. Five years to train a technician is already very fast. The real master has been working for more than ten years, and he has to have understanding. The Hanyang factory is thanks to the fact that there was a king craftsman back then. He brought out more than a hundred apprentices, and now these people are all masters. Each of them was taking three or five apprentices. Otherwise, where did the Hanyang factory get so many good workers, and thanks to the welfare policy formulated by the Hanyang factory back then, the treatment of the master master is not even worse than that of the engineer, otherwise these master masters will definitely be poached by the private factory. Even so, in the past 20 years, more than a dozen masters have been poached by other companies with high salaries. ”

"It's not easy to engage in industry, first of all, you have to have money to buy equipment, secondly, you have to have people to operate the equipment, and finally you have to have a skilled master to make good products. In the past 20 years, Brother Ziqing has really worked hard. Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but be slightly emotional when he said, the price paid by this generation for engaging in the military industry is not at all understandable to ordinary people.

"President, I'm already old, and I can't do it anymore, and now I just move my mouth, I'm afraid I won't even be able to move my mouth in a few years." Liu Qingen, who is close to old age, although his spirit is still good, he is indeed a long life in this era. At this age, I am still working hard for the affairs of the Hanyang factory, and this generation is really admirable.

"Brother Ziqing, can you serve the old, Hanyang Factory still has you to catch the president, with your big Buddha, my heart is as stable as Mount Tai." Fang Jianxiong said with a smile, and Liu Qingen waved his hand and said, "No, I have to train a successor, I will be seventy in a few years." ”

The rebuilt Yellow Crane Tower stands on the bank of the Yangtze River Bridge, standing on the Yellow Crane Tower, watching the bridge leap north and south, Fang Jianxiong sighed with emotion and thought of a poem he had read before, and subconsciously read: "One is to move to Changsha, and look west to Chang'an and don't see home." The jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng. ”

"How could Fu Shuai think of such a poem? Li Bai, this guy, clearly said that there was a scene in front of him. Fang Lang, the current mayor of Wuhan, asked with a smile. Fang Jianxiong glanced at him stupidly, and said in his heart: In another time and space, can you tell you about the trip to the Yellow Crane Tower?

"It seems that you are very comfortable in Wuhan!" President Fang Da said gloomily, Fang Lang shuddered, and said with a smile: "President, don't beat my idea, I have only been the mayor for less than two years, and this peaceful life has not been enough." ”

"Even if you want to go back to your old job, others may not welcome it. You still stay in Wuhan with peace of mind, and take care of this base camp for me. Forty percent of the equipment of the National Defense Forces came from Wuhan, which is careless. Fang Jianxiong said.

"Please rest assured that after staying for more than a year, the situation in Wuhan is well understood. In the event of a major war, we will ensure that Wuhan's military production capacity will be doubled. Fang Lang is full of confidence, much more confident than Liu Qingen.

"Oh? Where did you get your faith, tell me and listen? Fang Jianxiong was curious, Liu Qingen didn't dare to play this package ticket. It's not a problem with mechanical equipment, it's a problem with people.

"Don't underestimate the current Wuhan, after more than 20 years of development, the current three towns of Wuhan are not what they used to be. Take shipyards, for example, there are twenty-eight large and small. Each family has at least 100 workers, and at least 30% of these workers are skilled enough to enter the Hanyang factory. There are more people in the surrounding industries, and there is more potential to be tapped. According to incomplete statistics. There are more than a million workers in Wuhan. I don't need 30%, as long as 10% of people can use it, I can double the production capacity of the Hanyang factory. In the first half of the year, I asked the statistics department to do a survey, and the number of machine tools in operation in the entire three towns of Wuhan, not counting the Hanyang factory, and other small enterprises, reached 100,000 ....... "Fang Lang is really in the chest. Count jù open your mouth and come.

Fang Jianxiong listened very carefully, and listened to him for ten minutes before he said: "Don't wait for the wartime system, the Eurasia Group has about 100,000 machine tools stored in its warehouse in Wuhan. I'll give you 50,000 machine tools to look at, as long as I can get 5,000 small processing enterprises. ”

Fang Lang was stupid directly, he didn't expect Fang Jianxiong to be so generous, and Eurasia Group has been collecting machine tools from Europe and the United States. Fang Lang had heard of it. I just didn't expect the number to be so large. In just one Wuhan, there are 100,000 units, counting the whole country, how big is that number? Fang Jianxiong actually didn't have a quasi-number in his heart, only an approximate number. After the end of World War I, the French dismantled 40,000 or 50,000 machines from Germany, all of which were packaged and sold cheaply to the Eurasian group. Taking advantage of the end of World War I, countries are taking advantage of the opportunity to reduce production. Tens of thousands of machine tools have been collected. In the aftermath of the economic crisis, Fang Jianxiong instructed Fisher to make money in the regime market. A small half of it has been used to acquire the machine. The Americans engaged in the silver bill, and Fang Jianxiong secretly got a vote again, and the money he earned slowly became the latest machine, which was shipped back to China one after another.

How many machines did Eurasia Group buy back, Fang Jianxiong's approximate figure in his heart seemed to be more than 200,000 units. Some relatively new machines are stored in warehouses in Wuhan, and machine tools need to be stored for some years, and they are not new and easy to use. The number of machine tools in private storage is another matter.

Fang Jianxiong came up with such a move, with one purpose, to increase industrial production capacity as much as possible before the outbreak of war. Because he knows very well that the world war is fought against industrial capacity. Don't seek to be perverted like the United States, self-sufficiency is always about doing the best. Now there is a question, Fang Jianxiong is still very hesitant, once Hitler agreed to fight the Soviet Union first, how should you respond?

China's military industry is now mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River basin and the northeast, of which Wuhan is the top priority. Seeing that the pace of war is approaching, Fang Jianxiong must take these key points aside, and he can rest assured when he has a number in his heart.

After Wuhan, Fang Jianxiong's plane went to Chongqing, and after the dredging of the Yangtze River waterway, the railway from Chengdu to Xi'an was built in eight years, and the convenience of the land of abundance to the outside world greatly improved the development speed of the local economy. With the opening of air routes, it has become more convenient to enter and exit Sichuan. Of course, in general, the economically developed area of Sichuan is still Chongqing. The root cause lies in the development of industrial industry, thanks to the convenience of the Yangtze River waterway.

After only a week of his trip to Chongqing, Fang Jianxiong hurriedly flew back to Beijing and temporarily ended his inspection trip. The plane landed at Nanyuan Airport, and as soon as he got off the plane, he saw Gu Weijun waiting at the airport.

"Hiroki Hirota has officially invited you to visit Wèn in Japan." Gu Weijun hurriedly reported, Fang Jianxiong got into the car while listening, and only after sitting down did he say lightly: "Japan and the Soviet Union hooked up in private, and now they have come to invite me to visit Japan, which is clearly engaging in diplomatic smokescreens." Seeing that the United States had withdrawn from the Philippines, Japan finally couldn't help it anymore and had already made up its mind to go south first, so that the Soviet Union could contain China, which was really wishful thinking. ”

"Do you mean to decline Japan's invitation?" Gu Weijun hesitated for a moment before asking, Fang Jianxiong shook his head: "No, if you agree to Japan's invitation, you have to publicize Sino-Japanese friendship with great fanfare." ”

"Why?" Gu Weijun asked with a smile, Fang Jianxiong said lightly: "Once Japan goes south, the entire sea transportation line will be exposed to the attack of the Chinese Navy, not to mention, the entire Japanese ass will be exposed to China, and he will kick him whenever he wants." Speaking of which, Japan is not unaware of this, but Japan is too short of resources and refuses to give up its dream of dominating the world. Therefore, as long as there is a war in Europe and Britain and France cannot take care of both, Japan will definitely go south to seize the colonies of Western countries for its own use. At that time, China would remain neutral and concentrate heavy forces in the northwest and the Far East, forcing the Soviet Union not to dare to make rash moves, so that it could advance and retreat more than enough and obtain the maximum benefits from the Chinese goods. ”

Fang Jianxiong still had a thought that he didn't tell Gu Weijun, that is, what if Germany attacked the Soviet Union first? In fact, this idea is a bit redundant, aside from the enmity between Germany and France, in parallel history, one of the most important reasons why Germany dared to fight the Soviet Union was to obtain France's industrial capacity. Otherwise, even if Hitler had so many soldiers, he would not have been able to explode so much equipment. But Fang Jianxiong really didn't dare to think about it like this, in case Hitler had an impulsive brain and started with the Soviet Union first, it was not impossible for this thing to happen, but the probability was a little smaller.

The history of this time and space has been twisted, and all Fang Jianxiong can do is to try to do the best in the country.

In the face of national interests and national interests, personal morality and discipline can be lost. Well, Sino-Japanese goodwill, must be goodwill. When Japan goes south and all its weaknesses are exposed in front of China, it will be very refreshing to turn its face again. The premise is that the Chinese navy and air force must have that strength and put their feet on Japan's waist.

"China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, the times are next to each other, the friendship between China and Japan began in the Sui and Tang dynasties,......, China and Japan must be friendly and ......." A draft appeared on the headline of the Republic of China Times, singing the tune of Sino-Japanese friendship and announcing the news that Japanese Prime Minister Hirota Hiroki had invited President Fang Da to visit Japan.

The Japanese side also gave face, and the newspapers and radio stations responded one after another, and everyone set the tone of friendship and peace very highly, and it seemed that if they did not say so, they would lose a lot. President Fangda's itinerary was also quickly set, and he visited Japan in late August.

Prior to this, the secret negotiations between China and Britain had first yielded results, and British citizens, who had been suffering from the price of selling from China, were very unhappy with the government's incompetence because of the efficacy of penicillin in treating many diseases that could not be cured before. The Chamberlain government was under great pressure from the people, and had to lower the conditions at the negotiating table, and finally reached a condition of exchanging technology with the British Merlin engine through the technology transfer of penicillin and streptomycin.

The negotiation process was short, and there seemed to be no special tug-of-war between the two sides, and an agreement was reached in just one week. Britain became the first country in the West to obtain the technology of mass production of penicillin, and for this reason, the face of the British Empire was also greatly satisfied. After the news was announced, the German side immediately made a request: The last Sino-German negotiations only negotiated the sale of penicillin to Germany at the ex-factory price, but this time Germany wanted the technology, and the Chinese side reached an agreement with Britain that it could only transfer it at the end of the year.
