Invincible from the sword

Chapter 494 Can't Procrastinate Anymore

The current young Grumman is already the pillar of the Grumman family.

His status has even surpassed that of his father Zhong Grumman.

The old Grumman now looks at his grandson more and more pleasing to the eye.

As a shrewd businessman, Old Grumman's vision is very accurate.

It is also more structured.

He also has his own views on the entire world situation.

In the old Grumman's view, his family business must be expanded.

It is difficult to grow the entire family if you only look at the military industry.

Made in military industry, sounds good.

But crises also exist.

The profit level of the manufacturing industry is there.

No matter how advanced the weapons you make, the profit margins will not be too great.

And the arms market is limited.

It will not expand infinitely.

When the war is over, the world's demand for weapons will decrease.

To become the top family in the Beacon Country, the industry of the Grumman family must be diversified.

The cooperation between the young Grumman and Zhang Lei gave the old Grumman hope.

Perhaps, it's time for me to hand over the entire family property to Little Grumman.

Zhang Lei's Johnson & Johnson began recruiting a large number of workers.

At the same time, the appointment of R&D personnel is also expanding in a large area.

In Zhang Lei's view, only one type of panmoxicillin is not enough to support the entire company.

This drug works well though.

However, according to the intellectual property law of the lighthouse country, the protection period is only 20 years.

After the protection period has passed, the intellectual property rights of this drug will become the public's.

Anyone can make it as long as they have the ability.

If you really want the company to make money in the long run, you must develop more drugs.

Biotechnology and computer technology are the technologies of the future.

In order to maintain production, Zhang Lei implemented an eight-hour working system in the factory.

Three shifts.

Guarantee that the factory does not stop working 24 hours a day.

This mode of operation shocked Grumman Jr.

Eight hour work?

Little Grumman had never heard of this kind of system.

Shouldn't normal working hours be twelve hours?

If you work eight hours, you can get the same wages as if you worked twelve hours.

The workers in the entire factory were all boiling.

This system even made headlines in newspapers in the Lighthouse Country.

Just when Zhang Lei's company was making waves in the Beacon Country, Zhang Lei was discussing with Lao Fan to attack Hacksaw Ridge.

The Battle of Guadalcanal has been going on for more than half a month.

It can't be delayed any longer.

If it continues like this, it's really hard to say what the result will be.

And Zhang Lei doesn't have that much time.

Compared to here, he still prefers to go back to the East to fight devils.

In Zhang Lei's view, the current situation of the Lighthouse Country in the Pacific battlefield has gained the upper hand.

As long as the lighthouse country does not die, it can advance step by step.

Hit all the way to the mainland of the island country.

He is exhausted here, too boring.

Now the Japanese army is in the east, and there are more than 100 million troops.

If so many Japanese troops are not killed, it is really unwilling.

The failure of the island nation is doomed.

Zhang Lei has no doubts about this.

But after the defeat of the island country, a large number of Japanese troops were repatriated back to the island country.

No shit.

Zhang Lei could not accept this result.

It is better for these Japanese soldiers to die.

To repatriate these Japanese soldiers is to feed tigers.

Only by completely killing the island country can peace be guaranteed.

Zhang Lei thought that when the battle of Guadalcanal was over, he and Luo Xie Luo would ask to return to China.

Can't wait any longer.

His troops are still waiting for him.

The head of Shanxi sent him a telegram some time ago.

The Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, some units were reorganized.

The main reason is that he formed a new army based on Zhang Lei's army.

The unit number is, the first regiment of the reorganization.

Reorganize the first regiment of 5000 people.

Absolutely elite troops.

There are three infantry battalions.

A tank battalion.

A howitzer battalion.

A motor camp.

and A team.

Commanders at all levels are Zhang Lei's old partners.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei, Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Dabiao.

They are all waiting for him.

Now the troops of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army are developing very rapidly.

Although there is still a certain gap in terms of military strength compared with the Japanese army, the overall combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

The Japanese army is already on the defensive as a whole.

Troops were shrunk.

Even gave up a lot of county towns.

Except for the Japanese troops along the railway lines and in big cities, in other places, they are all the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army.

The chief judged that the strength of the Japanese army in Shanxi would not exceed three divisions.

If the puppet army is added, the strength of the Japanese First Army is about 15.

It is feasible to launch a partial counter-offensive.

So Zhang Lei wanted to end the battle of Guadalcanal as soon as possible.

There are more than 2 Japanese troops in the area, to Zhang Lei, it is nothing at all.

The lighthouse country is now on Guadalcanal, but it has air and sea control.

Afraid of hair!
Just bomb it.

Boom directly! ?

Nimitz and Lao Fan were taken aback by what Zhang Lei said.

Is it so simple and rude?
On Hacksaw Ridge, there were more than 2 Japanese soldiers.

It's hard to say how much success we can achieve if we just bombard like this.

At least we should have a strategy or something.

Nimitz frowned: "Commander Zhang, are you sure you're just going to bomb like this?
Now we know nothing about the Japanese troops on Hacksaw Ridge.

I suggest that it is better to be cautious.

After all, it was [-] Japanese troops.

And the first division of our route only has more than 1 people.

In terms of military strength, we do not have an advantage. "

Old Fan nodded in agreement.

Yes.

My own first marine division has only a little over 1 people at full strength.

Excluding logistics personnel and wounded soldiers, the number of troops he can fight now is only about 7000.

7000 people against 2 people, it's not easy to fight.

As the commander of the First Marine Division, Lao Fan had seen the Japanese army before.

In Lao Fan's view, the Japanese army was not easy to fight.

It was mainly the Japanese army who fought and played cards completely without following the rules.

Charge at every turn, which greatly affected the morale of his soldiers.

And the battle of Guadalcanal took longer than he thought.

Now his first marine division is very tired.

In need of a break.

If he can't win again, his army will collapse.

Zhang Lei laughed when he heard this: "Old Ni, Lao Fan, there are only more than 2 Japanese troops on Guadalcanal Island.

And you now have a large number of aircraft and warships.

Use the ammunition however you want.

What are you not doing?
Let the naval guns blast Hacksaw Ridge for a day.

Then send planes to carry out fixed-point clearing of the Japanese bunker above Hacksaw Ridge.

After such a bombardment, I estimate that the Japanese army suffered at least two-thirds of casualties.

Now the Japanese army has only been in Hacksaw Ridge for three days.

There simply wasn't enough time to dig the tunnels.

At most it was digging trenches and bunkers.

Such fortifications are simply powerless to stop the shelling of naval guns.

As long as we carry out a few rounds of saturation bombing against the Japanese army, our offensive will be much smoother.

If there are no accidents, within two days, we can take the entire Guadalcanal Island. "

Zhang Lei said to Nimitz: "Old man, Spruance's task force has more than 100 ships in total.

The smallest caliber of the naval gun above is also more than [-]mm.

Isn't that just random bombing? "
