Chapter 294 Military Industry Joint

Regarding the general principles and political demands of the war, Li Wansheng, as the head of the Hualian League, served as the commander-in-chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force during the war, must reach a consensus with the military and parliament.

Even if the ancient Chinese can be transcendent, most of the core members occupy a high position and have extraordinary influence. But don’t forget that Hualian is a huge entity interest organization. The people in the system are not Zhong Yang’s slaves, nor are they cattle and sheep that can be driven by people in the ancient Chinese can be driven by people.

Among the 40 million people, there are many different wills. Their entanglement is Hualian. It is also the source of power of the Chinese army. If the interests of all aspects are completely ignored, Hualian will inevitably start to split from the inside and eventually become a ruin that collapses.

"Cheng Dong, what's the big deal in the business world these days?" Sitting in his own car, Li Wansheng's face was full of tiredness and a weak voice, asking the young staff beside him.

"Report to the head of state, the business community is now divided into many factions and each has its own ideas, so it may not be difficult to deal with." Ning Chengdong has become the negotiation and aftermath of the refugee recruitment incident. Now he has entered and exited the cabinet in a legitimate manner and has become a core member of Li Wansheng's aide.

"The war on the front line is tight now, and there must be no chaos in the rear. Some excessive actions must be sent to follow up." At this time, Li Wansheng's face was not as gentle as before? In his cold eyes, a cold light surged, which was the awe-inspiring power of the superiors.

"Yes, the Head of State" knew the importance of this matter, and Ning Chengdong also solemnly accepted the order. However, his weak body began to have a temperament of being arrogant without anger.

The wartime economic system will inevitably harm the interests of many businesses, which is helpless. Even if some of the manufacturers can avoid the loss of some profits by switching to production and operation, this is never a popular thing.

No matter how much profit you have made from here before, once the profit drops, it will lead to resentment and dissatisfaction, which is a soil for slaughter and malice. Direct rebellion may not be necessary, but various inappropriate small actions may not be afraid.

After discussing the details of the handling, Li Wansheng also stretched his waist. He was nearly 60 years old and his health was no longer as good as before: "Okay, since that's the case, it's getting late, so we should take a break and reminisce about the content of today's conversation."

It was indeed getting late, and five hours have passed since the end of the military meeting. Li Wansheng, accompanied by Ning Chengdong, participated in the issuance of three war bonds.

Even lunch was rushed in the car, and his position as the head of state was not at all leisure.

The next morning, after a night of rest, Li Wansheng and Ning Chengdong got up early. Today's itinerary was full, and there was not much leisure time. The first stop was to visit a military production factory jointly operated by Tianyu Group and the military in Shunde.

Although Ning Chengdong is calm, he is still a young man and is still immersed in the excitement and joy of attending the cabinet united front meeting last night. However, he was excited and did not forget the task assigned to him by the head of state in his memories of yesterday afternoon.

After having a simple breakfast that the guard had already prepared, the two of them came to the telecommunications room of the Central Political Department of Hualian, preparing to use the government's own high-power unlimited communication station to contact Ye Ju, the chief of staff far away in Chenzhou, and sent the detailed data of various materials in the front-line military district reserve warehouse to form the content of the telegram as a reference for the content of their report today.

Visiting the military factory is not just about inspecting and cheering up the labor workers, but about taking into account the actual assessment and overall planning of logistics supplies.

While the two of them were anxiously waiting, the phone finally dialed. The telecommunications room finally received a voice from Chief of Staff Ye Ju, and a written document sent back through a wireless network signal.

Looking at the detailed list data I just received, the head of state Li Wansheng had nothing. Ning Chengdong, who had been in contact with confidential information for the first time, could not help but be shocked by the wide variety of materials on the list and the huge amount of each material.

"The Head of State, I really didn't expect that in less than two years, our strategic reserve warehouse would have stored so much ammunition, which was beyond my imagination. Especially grain and ammunition, which is enough for nearly one million troops, took one to two years. The food problem is okay, after all, the entire Guangdong province is still a huge grain-producing area, and it is expected that so much food can be obtained from the United States."

First, he looked at the head of state with a calm expression and looked at a middle-aged man beside Li Wansheng.

"However, where did so much ammunition come from, I am very puzzled?" Returning to his room and looking at the list in his hand, Ning Chengdong asked in confusion at the official in charge of logistics.

"Cheng Dong, you were just an ordinary civil servant, busy dealing with government affairs details all day long, of course you are not clear about these logistics matters. Our Hualian military production system imitates the model of the great powers. Although continuous combat and a lot of consumption, according to the current intensity, the ammunition storage of each unit can basically be supported for three months."

"What should I do in three months?"

"If you need it, there is no problem in producing at full capacity. We are not comparable to the ** government." The logistics officer said these words, his face full of confidence.

"After two consecutive years of expansion and development, the production of the arsenal is no less than the size of the Japanese Army arsenal. However, due to the lack of various raw materials, the arsenal does not produce a large number of weapons."

"Didn't French Vietnam and British Australia sign a long-term supply agreement with us? Why is it still lacking raw materials?" Ning Chengdong couldn't help but wonder.

"During the war period, we need to pay three times the price, not to mention that the construction of Liuzhou Heavy Industry Zone consumes a lot of metal raw materials, and Liu's tank production is also a large steel manufacturer. After this, other places will naturally be short of it." This is actually helpless. When the great powers are quarreling, they will not talk about historical friendship with you.

"In order to meet the needs of the war, the military production department had to put its main energy, manpower and material resources into the production of various bullets, mortar shells, 75 mountain cannons, and field cannons. At present, the entire military factory has planned to build more large-scale production lines for bullets and shells, and is now working overtime to rush to get more ammunition stored in the reserve warehouse."

Seeing the proud look of the logistics quarantine officer, Ning Chengdong also sighed. This is true. It can only be used during the war when hoarding a large amount of iron ore during the non-war period. Although it was not explained in detail, Ning Chengdong also knew the purpose of Hualian, and basically no renewable raw materials were excavated very much.

"When it comes to the development of military-industrial enterprises, I know clearly that until now, the entire Jinling government's arsenal has less than four production lines, producing bullets, grenades and mortar shells. I'm afraid even mountain artillery shells with a slightly larger caliber cannot be produced."

Ning Chengdong also put a lot of effort into mastering the economic information of external forces, so he naturally got it easy: "Jiang Ruiyuan and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols are currently busy buying light industries, intending to rely on export foreign exchange to exchange for funds to purchase weapons, and survive this wartime situation."

"Without heavy industry, it is impossible to support a decent war. Our joint military industry currently produces astronomical figures every day. As long as we are given half a year, we can completely stockpile nearly 120 million bullets, as well as nearly one million shells of various caliber. This is unimaginable in other parts of China."

"The head of state, according to a bullet production line, the number of 80,000 bullets can be calculated based on a bullet production line every day, and the ten bullet production lines of the arsenal can produce 800,000 bullets every day. In half a year, it is reasonable to reach such a large scale."

"As for shells, the combined production lines can now reach the scale of producing 20,000 shells of various caliber per day. However, this requires sufficient raw materials, because producing so much ammunition requires a large amount of raw materials, and the military factory has almost completely consumed the inventory."

"Relying on the powers to make raw materials is not a long-term solution. It seems that after we go back, we will build our own steel mill. Fortunately, when we talked with the Americans last time, we purchased two sets of equipment from small ironworks and one set of equipment from steelworks. After we go back, as soon as the equipment arrives, we will build our own steel mill."

The quartermaster also sighed, but he didn't know that only half of the production equipment labeled with the United States came from the country on the other side of the ocean. The other half was secretly provided by Zhong Yang.

"By the way, I will complete the financial report to be submitted to the parliament tomorrow. Cheng Dong, you and Liu Hua immediately act separately and prepare materials together." Li Wansheng was also anxious. This financial report must be passed in the parliament. After that, he left the office and he was about to go to the arsenal to inspect.

Ning Chengdong and Liu Hua, the main person in charge of the military supplies department, were in the room, and began to write about the situation of the strategic reserve database in the front-line war zone and suggestions on the future development of the strategic reserve database around a list I just received.

With the busyness of the two, a day passed without realizing it. As the two people were signed on the report, the sky outside the room had slowly darkened. Until this moment, the two people realized that they had been in the room for almost a day and had not even had time to eat a little lunch.

"Cheng Dong, I really didn't expect that it was dark so soon, and I didn't eat for a day. My stomach has started to protest now. No, I must have dinner first, and after dinner, I will report to the head of state." After checking the report in my hand, the quarantine officer Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief, touched his stomach that was protesting, and said with a smile.

"So too, my stomach has begun to protest." As they spoke, the two of them were about to leave the room to find food.

However, just as the two of them stood up from their seats, a rapid knock on the door reached their ears. As the door was pushed open, the guard in charge of the safety and life of the two appeared at the door in a dark golden uniform.

"The Head of State invites two."

The head of state’s official residence is very grand, and it was also established by the government funding for the head of state. As long as you are still in office, you can continue to live here. However, in fact, the entire mansion is an official asset and does not belong to any private property.

During the meal, there were two military officials sitting. Even though they were not wearing military uniforms, the iron-bending aura on their bodies made people notice their identities.

The dinner party is a private invitation and the atmosphere is also relaxed. Five people sit together around the round dining table. When dining, everyone knows the etiquette and does not speak. They enter the study room after dinner and sit in the main and second place.

Li Wansheng and two senior military officials read the report that Ning Chengdong and Liu Hua just wrote. As the three of them slowly penetrated into the content of the report, their brows sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed. What's more, when they encountered important content, they would discuss a few words in a low voice.

Ten minutes later, Liu Hua and Ning Chengdong were already full of food and food, standing motionless in front of the three adults. At the same time, Li Wansheng and the other two slowly put down the report in their hands, but from the expressions on their faces, a look of satisfaction could be seen.

In just a moment, the faces of the three people were replaced by seriousness...

"According to the report, the various ammunition stored in the strategic reserve warehouse are all the production of the arsenal in the past two years. I can't believe that our arsenal has now developed to its current scale. Can you report to us in detail the specific scale of the military industry?" The middle-aged man who looked like a soldier on the right side of Li Wansheng said, with a slender body but a tough temperament.

This person was actually a veteran of the Guangdong clan and had served as the regiment commander under Deng Keng. Now he is a senior official in the Chinese military system. However, the current production capacity data of the arms in Hualian are still not very clear, but he also knows the comparison.

The military supplies accumulated over the past two years have already surprised him. What is even more surprising now is that the expected production capacity in the past six months is equal to the sum of the past two years, and this is achieved under the shortage of raw materials. This stimulation is really strong for the old Guangdong clan, who has been used to fighting poor wars all his life.

"At present, the entire arsenal includes ten various bullet production lines, four shell production lines, and three grenade production lines. There are also two large assault rifle production lines and one large general machine gun production line. At the same time, the arsenal is equipped with a gunpowder factory and an iron smelting plant. However, due to the lack of ore materials, the entire iron smelting plant can only rely on the originally small stock of ore for iron smelting, and its production capacity is limited."

"With so many production lines, our army can win the arsenal with so many production lines. How is the output of the military factory? Can the troop ammunition consumption be guaranteed?" Another military official was shocked and asked quickly.

"Sir, due to the lack of various raw materials, the three weapons production lines are almost halfway. However, the production lines of various ammunition are working overtime according to requirements. According to the production of 80,000 bullets per production line, it can currently produce 800,000 bullets per day and 20,000 shells per day."

Liu Hua was full of confidence and looked as usual. He was not familiar with the identity of the visitor. However, he was flexible in calling him an adult and would not be rude or embarrassed.

"I finally have my own arsenal, and it's a very large arsenal. If we had such strength in the past, we wouldn't have been driven away by Sun Dapao. Now our Chinese army's weapons and ammunition will no longer be restricted by others. However, there are too few raw materials. Otherwise, we can even produce armored tanks in large quantities."

Both officers were originally from the Guangdong clan. When they followed Chen Jiongming to fight south and north, they were also aware of military affairs.

"We can solve the problem slowly without raw materials. As long as we have equipment, other problems will not be difficult for us Chinese. This war will not last long, and the peace talks will begin soon. After the stable situation is restored, the original price will be restored to the ore procurement." Li Wansheng replied with a smile, and placed his eyes on Ning Chengdong and Liu Hua in front of him.

.

These two are the future backbone of the inner bones and are also their own confidants. They are the best choices, both mind and talent.

"Haoran has ordered two sets of advanced ironmaking equipment and one set of steelmaking equipment in the United States. As long as these equipment can be shipped to Liuzhou, we can immediately expand the ironmaking plant and steelmaking plant. At that time, our military factory had sufficient raw materials to produce various weapons."

Li Wansheng is very familiar with these industrial and commercial situations, especially when it comes to key heavy industrial production areas.

If Xinghua News Agency wants to develop vigorously, it is impossible to rely on Zhong Yang's support at all times. They must learn to independently absorb the industrial technology of the great powers. The introduction of production lines is only the first step. What is really important is to consolidate their own industrial foundation and continuously accumulate experience and details.

"As a matter of fact, I was not wrong. Our military-industrial joint enterprises had already been fully prepared. I believe that when the ironworks and steelworks were picked up, all major arsenals could produce a steady stream of weapons and ammunition and transport them to various frontline troops. From then on, our Chinese troops would not have to worry about weapons supply at all."

Speaking of this, everyone is also happy. The military-industrial joint enterprise is actually a large arms producer alliance managed by the military. In this organization, each other operates successfully, and sometimes raises funds to develop new technologies to meet the military's needs for advanced weapons...
