Railways, as the main arteries for transporting supplies, played an indispensable role in times of war.

With the advent of the railway era, speed became the theme, and the ability to travel thousands of miles a day changed everything. Whether it is road or shipping, it will be overshadowed, and all strategic goals will revolve around railways.

After killing the devil's First Army and the army stationed in Mongolia, the Eighth Route Army had completely mastered the entire Tongpu Line and half of the Pingsui Line.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned foundation that the headquarters can transport all kinds of large-scale production equipment needed by the ordnance industry to Guisui from all parts of Jin Province in the shortest possible time.

······

After dinner, Nie and Huang, escorted by a platoon of guards, drove to the arsenal located in the western suburbs of Naturalized City.

As soon as he entered the factory, the factory director led a group of soldiers from the security department to greet him.

He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of Waseda University in Japan, and was once the top person in charge of the First Arsenal of the headquarters.

At the beginning of last year, he was recalled by the district and transferred to the post of director of education of the electrical college.

When the ordnance industry was still in the preparatory stage, Huang He considered that his subordinate light weapons arsenal needed an experienced leader, so he simply applied to his superiors to transfer Director Cheng to Suiyuan.

"Mr. Nie, Director Huang, welcome the two of you to inspect the work."

"At present, several production lines have been installed in our factory, and the construction officially started this morning. It won't be long before the first batch of infantry light weapons will be shipped out in boxes. ”

"By the way, do you want to?"

Before Director Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by an explosion and excited discussions.

However, he did not panic because of the unexpected situation, but said to the two leaders in front of him with excitement on his face:

"Mr. Nie, Director Huang, the first batch of 40 fires has been produced, let's go and have a look."

As soon as these words came out, Huang He pulled the army reorganization experts to walk towards the factory without saying a word. When everyone came to the test plant, they saw that the comrades were all gathered around a target position.

"Hey, it's the strongest individual anti-tank weapon at this stage, and it's powerful."

"No, the key is that we still use black powder. If you use the standard medicine from the Weapons Experiment and Research Bureau, the power can be increased by at least about 30%. ”

"To be honest, it's a bit of a waste to use this thing to fight devils. I heard from the director that 40 fires have been sold to Lao Maozi in the north, and the tanks they face are all big guys. ”

Among the many weapons in the Lend-Lease Act, the 40mm rocket launcher is definitely the most special one for comrades.

The reason is very simple, just because it is the first advanced weapon of the Eighth Route Army to be independently designed and produced, and there is no participation of foreigners in any step.

Its technology and ideas are far ahead of the rest of the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the founding of the sect.

What's more, since the founding of the Republic of China, all major forces have been scrambling to introduce foreign weapons, and elite troops are even proud of German helmets.

Now that there is a home-made individual anti-tank equipment that is about to appear on the international stage, how can everyone not be excited.

While the comrades were talking, a few sharp-eyed workers saw the Yellow River. His popularity in the military-industrial system was not low, and he was quickly recognized.

"Director Huang! How about you guys' craft? Let's say a few words! ”

With someone taking the lead, the voices of the workers became more and more aligned. In the midst of a "coaxing" sound, the army reorganization expert gently slapped the Yellow River with his elbow, signaling him to hurry up and boost morale while it was hot.

Under the difficulty of being enthusiastic, Huang was not hypocritical, and jumped directly on the table in front of the target.

Facing a pair of passionate eyes, he waved his arms vigorously with a smile and said:

"Comrades! The weapons industry is the first step for our Eighth Route Army to go abroad! It's also the first step in letting the world know about us! It's the result of everyone's concerted efforts. ”

"Here, on behalf of the headquarters, I would like to thank every military worker who has left his homeland."

"King Goujian of Yue tried his courage and finally destroyed the state of Wu. For so many years, we have endured arrogance while waiting. Now the time has finally come to show the world the greatness of our nation! ”

With Huang He's speech, everyone present became more and more excited, and everyone turned red and waved their fists.

In front of him, Rao is an expert in army restructuring and cannot remain calm. At this moment, Mr. Nie only felt that the invisible burden on his shoulders was a little heavier.

Fortunately, he did not fight alone, with thousands of comrades as his backing.

······

At the end of the mobilization meeting, Nie and Huang moved to the factory director's office. After a short rest, Director Cheng took out a document from the drawer and said:

"This is the first list of supplies that set off from Taiyuan ten days ago to aid the north."

"Calculating the time, if there are no accidents along the way, those army equipment and single-engine fighters should have arrived on the battlefield smoothly. If there is any emergency, I will definitely give feedback to my superiors as soon as possible, so please rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Huang He took the document and began to check it.

Just glanced at the catalog, and he was a little distressed by the generosity of the border area. Without him, just because there were 300 Hurricanes and 50 Spitfires on the list.

It seems that the bigwigs have a wide range of plans.

"Okay, I got it."

"The second batch of supplies is still dominated by hurricanes and 40 fires. As long as the other party does not specifically emphasize it, try to minimize the number of 105 howitzers, that thing is not enough for us ourselves. ”

"By the way, all weapons and equipment must be sent in the name of NORINCO."

As soon as these words came out, the awakening Yonghu system in Huang He's mind became active, as if reminding him to check the new developments in time.

"Ding! The host has new manufacturers to load. ”

"Available manufacturer: Ordnance Industries

Type: Army Equipment

Effect: +1% production rate of military factories in the system (stackable)" (end of chapter)
