At the same time, in Yinjiang.

When Zhong Yi returned to the headquarters from the Jiulongshan construction site, Chang Chengyun, the general manager of Sanyou Industrial, had already been waiting.

"Mayor Zhong, are you back?" Seeing Zhong Yi walking in quickly and sitting on the mahogany sofa drinking tea, Chang Chengyun quickly stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Chang, please sit down." Zhong Yi quickly turned his head and said with a smile, "Also, don't call me mayor anymore, I have already resigned from the mayor of Yinjiang."

"I don't care about this. In my Chang Chengyun's eyes, you will always be the mayor of our Yinjiang City." Chang Chengyun said, "In fact, it's not just me, but all the factory owners in the entire Yinjiang River recognize you. I really can't figure out what Chongqing is thinking, why do you have to step down as mayor? Don't you take it well?"

"I won't talk about this." Zhong Yi changed the topic, "Mr. Chang, I came to you just for one thing. Can I expand the production scale of tricycles?"

The current production scale of Yinjiang Tricycle Factory is about 500 vehicles per month.

At this speed, there are only 6,000 vehicles a year, barely enough to equip six divisions.

The problem is that the Japanese cannot give them so much time. If nothing unexpected happens, at most three or five months, the Japanese army will definitely launch the second Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian.

Therefore, the production scale of Yinjiang Tricycle Factory has to be expanded.

Zhong Yi had to try to equip all nine main divisions of the 10th Army on tricycles within three months.

It is certainly impossible to get more than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the nine main divisions to march on tricycles, but it is completely possible to load the weapons and supplies of the nine main divisions into tricycles, thereby greatly improving the mobility of the troops.

"Expand production capacity?" Chang Chengyun nodded and said, "Mayor Zhong, how many times do you want to expand production capacity?"

Zhong Yi calculated silently for a moment in his heart and said, "Is it okay to have a monthly output of 1,500 vehicles?"

"The monthly output is 1,500 vehicles?" Chang Chengyun was startled. This number was a bit beyond his expectations. He said, "Mayor, are you sure you want such a large production capacity?"

"I'm sure." Zhong Yi nodded, "If possible, I want nine thousand tricycles now!"

Zhong Yi's words were not casually said, but the numbers obtained after careful calculations. If there were nine thousand tricycles, the nine main divisions of the 10th Army could be adapted into self-propelled infantry divisions. In this way, the mobility of the 10th Army would be greatly enhanced.

With Okamura Yasuji as commander of the 13th Army, Zhong Yi could have foreseen that Yinjiang and even the entire Zhejiang Province will usher in a cruel cage policy. Moreover, since the area of ​​Zhejiang Province is much smaller than that of the North China Plain, the intensity of the cage policy that Zhejiang Province has to face will be more cruel than that of North China in another time and space.

So Zhong Yi must prepare for the future and be prepared to crack Okamura Yanji's cage policy.

In order to break Okamura Yanji's cage policy, the mobility of the troops is crucial.

To improve the mobility of the troops, this kind of tricycle that does not rely on high-level highways, with excellent speed and carrying capacity, is crucial.

Chang Chengyun pondered for a moment and said, "Mayor Zhong, it is no problem to form a monthly output of 1,500 tricycles, but can the steel and rubber factory supply guarantee the supply? Also, after the first order of 9,000 vehicles is completed, will the subsequent order volume fall sharply?"

As the general manager of Yinjiang Tricycle, Chang Chengyun must consider production costs.

Zhong Yi said: "You don't have to worry about the supply of steel and rubber. As for the subsequent order quantity, it is not a problem at all. After all, the troops are going to fight, and tricycles will definitely suffer a lot of losses. Just replenishing the loss is enough to maintain the daily operation of your Yinjiang tricycle factory, let alone..."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi paused and said: "What's more, with the experience of the 10th Army, other brothers will definitely follow suit, so you don't have to worry about missing orders at all."

Chang Chengyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, how could he forget this?

Now Chang Chengyun left in a hurry and returned to Yinjiang Tricycle Factory to arrange production.

As a result, because he was in a hurry, he almost bumped into another person who came in quickly at the door.

Chang Chengyun looked up and found that the man who came in was wearing military uniform and carrying the rank of lieutenant general. He was shocked at the time, but the lieutenant general didn't look at him any more and turned around and walked over.

...

The one who almost hit Chang Chengyun at the gate was Qiu Qingquan, who came to Yinjiang to take office.

Three days ago, Qiu Qingquan led the newly formed 22nd Division to train in Hengyang, but suddenly received an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs to rush to Yinjiang immediately and take over as Chief of Staff of the 10th Army.

Qiu Qingquan has always been decisive in his work style, and is nicknamed Qiu Chuangzi.

After receiving the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, Qiu Qingquan handed over the work of the newly formed 22nd Division to the deputy division commander without saying a word, and then drove in turns with his two guards. It took nearly two days and nights to finally arrive at Yinjiang this evening, and then came to the headquarters located in the Jiangdong University Campus.

"Zi Ren? Brother Zi Ren?" Qiu Qingquan shouted loudly from a distance.

Zhong Yi heard the voice coming out of the war room and saw that it was Qiu Qingquan, and was overjoyed.

"Brother Yu'an?" Zhong Yi couldn't help but say, "Why did you arrive in Yinjiang so soon? Om?"

"Brother, please order the general yourself. How can I not praise you?" Qiu Qingquan laughed and said, "Besides, this is the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Do I dare not be happy? I have been traveling day and night, and I haven't closed my eyes for two days and nights. And you, I'm already hungry, you have to get a delicious meal to comfort me."

"I didn't say anything." Zhong Yi laughed, "I'll have a good meal at Lao Yinjiang."

"Old Yinjiang? Let's forget it." Qiu Qingquan said quickly, "Just take care of it and eat something."

"Brother Yu'an, you don't have to worry." Zhong Yi said with a big laugh, "I will never use public funds when treating guests, and I will not misappropriate the funds of the group army."

"Okay." Qiu Qingquan agreed.

At that moment, Qiu Qingquan got into Zhong Yi's Ford sedan and headed straight for the Old Yinjiang Restaurant.

As for Qiu Qingquan's two guards, Xu Chao is welcomed by him, so Zhong Yi doesn't have to worry about it.

After getting on the bus, Qiu Qingquan said with some emotion: "Brother, I really didn't expect that you kid could make such a big noise in Yinjiang. Under the siege of one Japanese army and another mixed brigade of five divisions, he saved Yinjiang without saying that, and in turn he severely injured the Japanese. You kid is really amazing!"
