Chapter 1869
All Wang Xuexin needs to prepare is Yingjiang’s “duck” amphibious landing craft.

This is a must-have tool for quick login...

Although the "Duck" amphibious landing craft cannot be directly used for landing operations, this front-engine landing craft is very fragile. Several rifle bullets can penetrate its front armor and damage the engine inside.

However, it is the first choice for the logistical support and transportation of troops for the landing force. This thing that can be driven both as a car on the shore and as a boat in the water does not require frequent loading and unloading, thus saving valuable time and quickly transporting troops. Personnel and equipment were transported to the other side.

Wang Xuexin directly retrieved the drawings of the "Duck" amphibious landing craft from the system and gave them to the institute.

There is no need to make excuses for this, just say that you bought it from Yingjiang. After all, Yingjiang already has a mature model and has been on the battlefield for some time.

If it were before, the Eighth Route Army would still have difficulties in producing the "Duck" amphibious landing craft.

Just like the most primitive amphibious landing craft used by Wang Xuexin when he was in Yuncheng... At that time, it was a simple combination of a car and a boat.

At that time, I couldn't do anything more sophisticated because I didn't have the industrial foundation.

It's different now. The Eighth Route Army can produce automobile engines and has a shipyard. It can be said to be a piece of cake to combine the two according to the drawings.

However, Wang Xuexin requested two models.

"One is a universal model!" Wang Xuexin said to Professor Su: "This model requires mass production, the ability to transport personnel, supplies, equipment, and most importantly, the ability to transport half-track vehicles and Laosan (M30 howitzer)! "

"Understood!" Professor Su nodded.

This is not difficult. Basically, it is based on the size and weight of a half-track car. Other items, including the M30 howitzer, are not as heavy as a half-track car.

"Is it difficult to drive out 50 ships in a month?" Wang Xuexin asked.

Taking into account the possibility of malfunctions and battle losses, 50 ships is already quite conservative.

But this still made Professor Su stunned on the spot: "Captain, the shipyard has been facing a very heavy task recently. It has to produce 'Wooden Daihatsu' and gunboats. Now it also has to produce amphibious landing ships, and there will be 50 of them... It can be completed within a month..."

"How many wooden boats are there?" Wang Xuexin asked.

"Including the captured ones, there are about sixty ships in total!"

"Okay!" Wang Xuexin ordered: "The production of the 'Wooden Dafa' is suspended, and all manpower and resources are used to build amphibious landing ships. This is related to the outcome of the battle!"

"Yes!" Professor Su responded: "I promise to complete the task!"

When Professor Su answered the call, he made an anxious calculation: refit it with the old hull, and call in a group of more workers to work around the clock.

"The other is a special type!" Wang Xuexin said: "The number does not require a large number, only about ten ships are needed, but they must be able to transport 'Sherman' tanks and cars full of supplies!"

Professor Su was stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded.

This is not difficult, but the hull needs to be larger.

If there is any difficulty, it is that the structure and deck of the car body must be able to withstand the crushing of the tank tracks, and the ballast water must be increased... Otherwise, the center of gravity will be capsized by a little wind and waves.

There is a problem with adding ballast water. It is impossible to bring ballast water with you while driving on land, right?

Doesn't this consume more gasoline?
However, after Professor Su thought about it, he could add ballast water temporarily during pre-war preparations. All he had to do was to plan the weight and location of the ballast water first.

After explaining these things, Wang Xuexin returned to the headquarters with confidence.Before entering the door, the guard reminded: "Captain, Sun Erwei is waiting inside!"

Wang Xuexin let out a "huh".

If it had been before, Sun Erwei would not have been reminded by the guards at the headquarters.

But today is different from the past. The relationship between the Eighth Route Army and Yingjiang is already a bit tense, and even the guards can feel it.

Sun Erwei's expression was the same as before, and he was still talking to Wang Xuexin with a cynical attitude.

"Wang, this is the coffee I brought for you!" Sun Erwei pointed to a box on the table and said, "Have you finished the one I gave you last time?"

"Thank you!" Wang Xuexin replied, but thinking about this stuff, he no longer dared to drink it.

Just kidding, who is Yingjiang?

Moreover, Sun Erwei is still an agent. If they want to get rid of Wang Xuexin without anyone noticing, coffee is the best tool.

"I heard that your recent battles have gone very smoothly!" Sun Erwei asked casually: "The Japanese have been attacking Ping'an Village and Xinjing, and at least tens of thousands of people have died so far, right?"

"About [-]!" Wang Xuexin replied: "There are no detailed figures yet!"

Sun Erwei whistled and expressed his amazement: "What an amazing achievement, one of our battles is nothing more than this!"

This is true. The famous Battle of Iwo Jima only wiped out more than 2 Japs. In addition, more than 6000 people were killed and more than 2 people were injured.

The Eighth Route Army has been using tactics to defend and wait for the attack. Until now, the total casualties have only been more than 5000.

"Tell me!" Wang Xuexin sat down on the chair, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Why did you come to me this time? You don't want to tell me that the oil is already on its way, right?"

"No, no..." Sun Erwei pretended not to understand: "The oil line is still not connected, I think we still need to wait for a while!"

Seeing Wang Xuexin's disapproval, Sun Erwei continued: "Wang, you know that oil is a long-term strategic material, right? I mean, the oil you get from Mao Xiong can only meet your temporary needs, don't you think so? "

When Wang Xuexin heard this, he understood that Sun Erwei was here to control his tone, and Yingjiang couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Wang Xuexin's guess was correct. Sun Erwei came here on the order of the admiral.

In fact, the admiral couldn't hold his breath because he had always suspected that Wang Xuexin had another way out, but he didn't understand what Wang Xuexin's way out would be.

Wang Xuexin pretended to be confused: "Yes, of course I know! So, for now, we will use Maoxiong's oil first. When Maoxiong's oil runs out in a year, your oil lines should have been connected, right? This is me long-term plan!”

Sun Erwei said "haha" and smiled awkwardly: "That seems to make sense!"

"Otherwise?" Wang Xuexin asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"King!" Sun Erwei said: "I want to say, since you can exchange 3000 million barrels of oil for a new fighter jet with a Mao Xiong, are you interested in exchanging more with us? We are willing to offer 6000 million barrels of oil for the same new fighter jet. …”

"Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin interrupted: "If I remember correctly, your oil can't be transported, right? So what if it's 9000 million barrels? Isn't that just a cake painted on the wall?"
