Chapter 344: The Devil's Lair
As for the army, the number of the Northeast Army and the New Army, which have undergone a new reorganization, has reached 700,000, plus the old army in the hands of several princes, in North China actually maintains a strength of one million people, including four armored divisions, mixed 59 and imitation 59 tanks, this imitation version of 59 because the reliability of the 100 mm tank gun has not met the requirements, so it was simply replaced with the 88 gun that introduced German technology.
In addition, there are ten mechanized divisions, equipped with Tiger tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, two airborne divisions, three mountain divisions, which belong to light infantry divisions that are not equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, and the rest are all equipped with 130 cannons, some Yang Feng purchased from modern times, and some are imitated in Beiping, although the performance is slightly worse, but the range is the same as the best 150 heavy plus in Japan, all of which can reach 25 kilometers, and now they can use imitation rocket range extender bombs, not to mention Beiping, the bottom row of this kind of high-end goods, not to mention Beiping, Even Germany has not made it practical.
As for rifles, the 700,000 front-line troops have all been converted into five or six units, and all the 79 caliber rifles that have been eliminated have been sold to Pakistanis and Jews, and things like mortars, recoilless guns, rocket launchers, and grenade launchers are not to be mentioned, which are already the standard equipment of the main division.
In addition to the regular army, there are also two million reserves, and more than five million reserves for basic military training, that is to say, the provinces of Guanghua and North China can recruit nearly 10 million armed personnel in a short period of time, Yang Feng found that his war potential is very sufficient, if you add about two million German armor divisions in the hands of the bald guys, and almost one million troops in the hands of the southern princes who have basically reached the same level, China alone can flatten Japan.
Of course, this kind of thankless thing cannot be done, in fact, now all parties, including the bald guys, have no interest in fighting, and the Lanxin Railway is gradually closing, and everyone knows what it means to build this railway. Sun Dianying and his Central Asian Army have basically opened up the railway network to the west bank of the Ural River, and also assisted the Soviet army in holding Yekaterinburg, of course, this has a lot to do with the tension between the United States and Japan, and the Japanese army has lost the determination to continue to advance westward.
But even then, Joseph was beaten bitterly with a mustache, and the whole of Ukraine has been lost. The German army is marching towards Stalingrad, without the industrial areas of Eastern Europe, the supply of materials to the Soviet army is becoming more and more tight, the demand for Chinese weapons is becoming more and more intense, and the Soviet railway workers in Xinjiang are rushing to repair the railway like crazy.
All the forces in China here are building factories like crazy, waiting to suck blood from the Soviets, who is still in the mood to fight? Except for the desperate struggle on the Yellow River defense line in Suiyuan, almost all of China is quiet.
Yang Feng has little interest in building a factory, unless he wants to develop in high-tech technology, he will provide technical support in the form of partnership. At this time, China's industry is no different from that of a truly industrialized country, except for the layout of which is a little unreasonable. As for those high-tech techniques, mainly engines, new materials, and electronic technologies, transistors have already been developed, and Yang Feng is working on new weapons here. How can it be cleaned so cleanly, especially for domestic use. He's just going to just get rid of the things that are too appalling.
These new weapons are usually handed over to the Academy of Sciences when they are handed over to the troops, and those scientists have long been eyeing the electronic parts that Yang Feng missed, plus there is a person next to his pillow who is forced to ask every day, so naturally they can't hide it. Computers, integrated circuits, these things have long been done, and even black-and-white television sets have become popular among the rich people in Beiping, and the first TV station has been made out by idle and boring hearts and Margaret.
Roosevelt had solved the legal problem of building an air base in China as quickly as possible, but the method was actually very simple. It was the US Volunteer Air Force that deployed thousands of heavy bombers to China in the name of assisting the Chinese people in resisting the invaders, although China really did not need his assistance at this time.
As for the construction of an airport, it is very simple, anyway, the Americans will pay for it themselves, and they are not afraid to build one in every place in the large and small cities in eastern China, so that it can be converted into a civil aviation airport after the war, and this problem is easy to solve, but another problem is not easy to solve, the ammunition problem.
Once the war starts, the Japanese army will definitely blockade the sea, and the ammunition produced by the United States cannot be shipped to China, so even if there are more bombers, it is useless, so it is necessary to build a bomb factory, especially a napalm factory, although China also has this thing, but it is to support Yang Feng's bombers, if you want to match the bombers of the United States, then it must be expanded at least ten times, so that the nitric acid industry must be expanded, fortunately, after the opening of the Lanxin railway, the saltpeter mine in Xinjiang can be put into production, and this problem is not serious.
But the other problem is very serious, because in addition to bombs, there is also fuel.
At present, China's crude oil supply, if not counting imports from the United States, is mainly the two oil fields of Yanchang and the newly developed Yumen, and the other is the liquefaction of coal in Kunming, plus the transportation from the Middle East through the Indo-Burma highway, which is enough to sustain China's own consumption, but if it maintains the use of 5,000 heavy bombers, it will not be able to be used. If this thing uses napalm, it will have to go down at least 50,000 tons of crude oil if it is bombed once, considering the consumption of crude oil refining and petrochemical production, then these bombers will bomb Japan once, and it is estimated that the consumption of 150,000 tons of crude oil is more than that, Yang Feng now has a deep understanding of what Germany and Japan ultimately failed in the original history, and in a word, there is no oil.
The Americans dare to produce tens of thousands of heavy bombers, and the mustache estimates that he will dare to produce a few thousand, and if he can also maintain the scale of tens of thousands of heavy bombers, the British would have knelt long ago.
According to this kind of consumption, the oil field can be extended to extract crude oil for a year, at most these bombers can bomb Japan three times, this is absolutely not possible, the oil supply must be solved, from the export is absolutely not possible, Baku's oil field is the last who dare not guarantee it, besides, no matter who belongs to the person there is no extra to sell, the only way is to extract oil in the country, and it must be a large oil field.
Daqing doesn't have to think about it, victory is also ruled out, that place is too close to the sea, the Japanese will go crazy, the development of oil fields in Xinjiang is difficult, Yang Feng suddenly remembered that there is another one under his nose.
"You said there is oil in Baiyangdian?" His father-in-law was almost stunned by the news.
"That's right, Renqiu, Xiongzhou are all here, and it is easy to produce millions of tons per year, and I have the distribution map of oil wells determined by our laboratory here." Yang Feng said reservedly.
Liu Haining looked at the map handed to him by Yang Feng like a fool, those geologists in Beiping have been looking for oil all over China over the years, but unfortunately they haven't found a decent oil well until now, and they didn't expect oil to be under their noses.
"Did you know the Dao?" Liu Haining suddenly reacted, over the years, Yang Feng has always come up with an accurate oil well location map at the most critical time, Tyumen, Cyril are like this, and now he has taken out the oil field map of North China at the critical moment when there is the most oil shortage, it is obvious that this cannot be just found.
"We have a very advanced set of technology in our laboratory, we can find most of the oil wells in this world, including our domestic, in fact, there are several real giant oil fields in our country, but this thing you have to understand that the reserves are limited, the more you use it, the less it is, and it will definitely become more and more important after the most luke, we will run out of our own early, and then we can only rely on people to breathe."
Therefore, we would rather have a slower economic development rate, but also use other people's first, and when other people's homes are used up, only we have to have ourselves, you are selling oil at the price of gold, they also have to buy, and not everyone is qualified to buy, only those who listen to us can sell to him, and those who are disobedient stay away, this is the long-term way.
If there is no way this time, I won't even take out this oil field, you see that I have always reached out abroad, it is all to grab resources for our children and grandchildren, for example, the Middle East, I can clearly tell you that the place in our hands, at least tens of billions of tons of crude oil underground, and I asked Sun Dianying to go to Central Asia, the reason is very simple, the oil in the Caspian Sea is not only on the west coast, the crude oil reserves on the east coast are not less than those on the west coast, and more importantly, Kazakhstan also has a resource that can be said to cost human lives.
You should know about Yang Jing's kind of atomic weapon development, right? In the future, that kind of weapon is the security guarantee of a country, and we have very few raw materials for making that kind of weapon, but Kazakhstan has a super big mine.
And I sent troops to Australia, the reason is also very simple, because there is a super large iron mine in Western Australia, as long as it is in hand, no matter how our steel industry develops, we don't have to worry about being stuck in the neck by iron ore. Yang Feng said with some pride.
With the location map of the oil well, the rest of the exploitation is very simple, Roosevelt understood better than anyone else the significance of such an oil field to the strategic layout of the United States, and did not even need Yang Feng's side to do it, and the US government took the lead in mobilizing tens of thousands of skilled workers from major oil companies, and rushed to China with a steady stream of free aid of oil production equipment, and began the Americans' great struggle for China's oil.
In addition, there are oil refineries, Yang Feng's Beiping Petrochemical Co., Ltd. cooperated with Exxon to start a large-scale construction of oil refineries in North China, and there is also a production line for napalm, in short, in the next time, China and the United States can be said to go all out to jointly build a devil's nest in China that will destroy Japan in the future.
