"General."

Northern Review.

Command of the North China Front.

Although it has been a while since Yun-6 used a radio-guided bomb to kill Watanabe's chief of staff, during which the devils used a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up, at this time, the staff building near the headquarters was still in ruins.

Huge craters are clearly visible.

A large number of devil soldiers are cleaning up little by little, like ants moving.

The devil who lacks machinery and equipment, in the face of concrete chips, can only be transported away little by little with hammers and steel drills, coupled with the recent strengthening of vigilance, and the surrounding search, which consumes a lot of manpower.

This results in extremely low efficiency.

As for the recruitment of migrant workers.

The devil doesn't dare.

If you get in and launch another round of attacks, it will be a lot of fun.

"Base Camp Telegraph."

"Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yonechi congratulates you on your promotion to general!"

The staff officer who reported stood up and saluted.

"General!"

Tada Jun smiled bitterly, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

The general is his dream,

But at this time, when he was about to step down as commander because of the defeat in the war in North China and enter the reserves, he was promoted to general, and the base camp was clearly prepared to hide him in the snow and never come out.

With a general, there is no real power,

There is no doubt about this general.

The reason for the relief was that the base camp did not pursue further, and although he lost power, he could enjoy a period of retirement before the defeat of the empire.

That's good.

"Let's go down."

With a wave of his hand, Tada Jun motioned for the staff officer to leave.

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head and left.

"Where is Chief of Staff Yamada?"

Tada called out to the staff officer who was just about to leave.

After the death of Chief of Staff Watanabe, a new chief of staff was appointed at the base camp - Chief of Staff Yamada, a major general from the Southern Army, and the commander of the 55th Brigade.

is also a henchman of Gangcun Ningci.

At present, the empire lacks troops, resources, weapons and equipment, logistics and transportation capabilities, funds, and technology...

But there will definitely be no shortage of generals.

Especially the major general.

"We've arrived at Shimen."

The staff officer replied.

"Inform and Yama Dazuo, pay attention to strengthening security."

Tada Jun admonished.

Considering that Tubalu has a penchant for attacking staff officers, the First Army currently has eighteen staff officers, who died at the hands of Tubalu, counting the two chiefs of staff of the North China Front.

A total of 20 senior staff officers have died at the hands of Tubalu in just half a year.

"Hey!"

The staff officer nodded.

"Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity..."

After the staff officer left, Tada Jun was the only one in the headquarters, and he looked at the huge map on the back wall, covering the entire Asia-Pacific region, the map of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere that the empire dreamed of, and muttered to himself.

"Hmph."

After a long time, Tada Jun suddenly sneered.

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?

Let the empire rise to the top of the world?

The emperor rules the world?

Empires determine the world order?

Joke.

It's the top of the empire, it's just the dream of the locust.

The empire can't even deal with the Eight Roads, let alone the forces behind the Eight Roads, as well as the United States, which also has an absolute interest in the Pacific Ocean and the Asia-Pacific region.

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity?

Holy war?

It's just a weak country, hysterical self-howling, and maybe even in the eyes of others, it's just a dog barking.

Retracting his gaze, Tada Jun looked indifferent.

He only hopes that the empire will last a little longer,

Let him take care of his old age for a few more years.

Preferably, it will allow him to die before he is killed by the enemy, or judged.

···

Meanwhile.

Northern Bureau.

Xinhua.

"Old Xia."

"Xiao Zhao!"

"Hahaha..."

Photographer Lao Xia carried the latest camera, presented by Zhao Gang, political commissar of the Independent Regiment, and Xu Lin, a technician, carried a canvas bag, both of whom were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and met at the gate of the Northern Army.

On the wide road, the two couldn't help but embrace each other with joy.

Thanks to the abundance of funds and materials.

At this time, Xinhua News Agency is completely different from before.

More than 30 brand-new buildings are scattered among the mountain villages, and between the houses, there is a wide road, enough to accommodate ten board trucks at the same time.

The reason why such a wide road was built was because of the huge heavy-duty trucks that could carry 65 tons of cargo.

No way.

Today, the number of trucks, even if some of them are lost due to the unskilled operators, has accumulated to more than 400 trucks, which is the core transportation force of the base area.

It is expected that by the end of the year, there will be 600 vehicles.

Therefore, the main roads in the base area were built in accordance with the technical requirements for the passage of two fully loaded heavy-duty trucks at the same time.

As a result, the construction of the main road is very slow.

Even though there are abundant manpower and material resources, and there are system experts to help design the engineering plan, it is difficult to solve the problem of lack of engineering equipment, lack of explosives, lack of reinforced concrete and other raw materials, etc.

Although manpower can give priority to supporting the development of base areas under certain circumstances.

But supplies, especially explosives, cannot.

Only by keeping the devils out can there be room for development in the base areas.

As a result, the main road can only be extended at a rate of one kilometer per day, and in the design of the base area, the main road must first meet the needs of the future industrial zone.

After that, it is time to connect the various base areas and prepare for a counterattack.

Based on the level of military support that always had only one regiment, and the overly advanced weapons, the headquarters made such a plan - take your time, but take it steady.

Strengthen yourself first, and then try to gain the territory occupied by the devils.

"What's the good news this time?"

Lao Xia looked at Xu Lin.

As an old friend, Lao Xia could see at a glance that Xu Lin had good news hidden in his heart.

"The superiors are going to attack Tada."

Xu Lin lowered his voice.

It's actually not a secret, the news is about to be published.

However, lowering the voice makes it more emotional.

"Tada!"

Lao Xia also subconsciously lowered his voice.

Tada!

Command of the North China Front.

Lieutenant General of the devil's real power.

Compared with the chief of staff of the devil, whether it is the chief of staff of the First Army or the chief of staff of the North China Front, Tada Jun is the real senior officer and the top of the devil.

"Yes."

"Tomorrow's front page headline is that the troops will kill Tada Jun within a month."

Xu Lin said directly.

"Shhh

Lao Xia gasped.

A commander to the devil is still a public statement.

And, for the third time!

How will the little devil deal with it?

Can you really do it?

···

Las vegas.

"It's..."

A Japanese man walked into a company and handed over a stack of banknotes to a company.

Judging from the printing layout, it is the new southern Hebei currency.

Or the latest second generation.

"I'd like to ask you to help make this currency."

The devil businessman gets straight to the point.

···

Meanwhile.

United States.

Inland desert area, army weapons test site.

"God."

"Where did you make these weapons?"

Seeing the military people coming, the technical expert in charge of the test exclaimed:

"What about these weapons?"

Someone from the military asked.

"It's advanced."

"Not only is the design advanced, but the most terrifying thing is the materials used to make this weapon, but also the processing technology."

Pointing to a 60 mortar, the technologist said:

"The reason why this artillery, with a total weight of less than 20 kilograms, can still have a range of 3.4 kilometers, and a standard grenade weighs 1.6 kilograms."

"The material from which the barrel is made is the core reason, the root cause."

"His cannon steel is very advanced."

"It is about one-third stronger than all the current artillery steels in China, yield strength, high temperature and high pressure resistance."

"A third!"

As soon as the numbers came out, the military came, and their faces suddenly looked solemn.

Doesn't sound like a third is much.

However, the increase in high temperature resistance by one-third means that the maximum temperature that can be withstood is one-third higher, and the yield strength is one-third stronger, which means that the pressure that the barrel can withstand is one-third higher.

And this third, the end result of manifestation, is.

The 60 mortars of the United States, weighing twenty-five kilograms, had a firing range of only one point eight kilometers, and the projectile was also only one point three kilograms.

And the enemy's 60 mortars, with a full weight of only 19 kilograms, had a firing range of up to 3,400 meters, and the unit also weighed 1.6 kilograms.

power, range leading in an all-round way.

"The smoothbore cannon can reach the accuracy of the old barrel cannon because the enemy's barrel and shell manufacturing process is very accurate, and the aerodynamics of the shells are also very good."

"After studying the design of its shells, in fact, our manufacturing process can also make 60 mortars achieve this accuracy, but the cost of barrels and shells will increase fifty times."

The technical expert continued.

As an expert in working with the military, he even what the military needs.

"Fifty times."

The military came silently.

Fifty times the cost.

It means that the price of one gun is equal to the original price of fifty. The price of one shell is equal to the price of the previous fifty shells.

Fully equipped.

Large-scale operations.

Even the United States is going bankrupt.

The people from the military are specifically responsible for the research and development of weapons and equipment for the troops, and naturally they also know that materials and manufacturing processes are the most difficult basic industrial capabilities to break through and progress.

It doesn't just take a lot of money.

It will take a long time, and a lot of tardibranching improvements.

It is impossible to do it in one step.

"How many years apart."

The military officer asked.

Mr. President's secretary needs a specific value to judge the difference between friend and foe.

"About twenty-five or six years!"

Millikan's technical experts, gave a fairly accurate figure.

As a matter of fact, at present, lying in the weapons test area are several weapons developed by the Americans themselves in the 70s, and the level of technology is about the same.

Equivalent to the end of the seventies, the highest level of the early eighties.

It's just that the system has opened a small hanging.

Improved yield,

After all, in general, mass-produced weapons, which are far from the highest level in contemporary times, are limited by the yield rate, and are still somewhat worse.

Therefore, the mortars, materials and manufacturing processes that flowed out of the independent regiment at this time were comparable to the level of service in the late nineties of the United States.

"Twenty-five or six years."

This figure makes the military personnel look very bad.

This is equivalent to:

Let the latest Missouri class warships in the dockyard of the United States deal with the New York-class that had just been commissioned during the last European war. (End of chapter)
