Chapter 2160 Holding Back

"Thunder!"

"Okay, let's call it Thunder."

"When the thunder roars, all the evil spirits retreat!"

"Let him know that our thunder can deter evil spirits and monsters and repel all delusions."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and Mr. Wang smiled and nodded, asking someone to pass on the news.

This is not just a casual statement. It is just like when the first Jiefang truck was produced and the old man wrote the inscription himself, that honor is unmatched by anyone else.

Even if latecomers come out on top, they cannot cover up this glory.

The news spread quickly.

So Thunder came into being.

"How much is the current output of this thunder?"

The old man was concerned about the production issue, especially now that the situation was urgent. One or two missiles would not have any effect at all. What he wanted was to cut off the claws once and for all.

"Chief, let's go back to the office and talk."

Old Wang looked around and decided that now was not the time to talk about this.

Especially when there are so many people around.

The old man also realized this and nodded, "Then let's go back to the office."

"Also, record the data of this thunder. I will take it away later."

Several people nodded, then quickly stepped down from the podium and got in the car to rush to the meeting room.

Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, conference room.

The old man sat in the first seat with a majestic figure, and beside him were Old Chen, Old Wang and others.

Yang Xiaotao, as the representative of the machinery factory, sat at the end.

Even so, looking at the people present, apart from the big boss of the Ministry of Machinery, the others are people in military uniforms. Just looking at their age and the seating order, you can tell that their status is not low.

"Commander, we are now stepping up production, and the engine is the one that is limiting production right now."

Old Wang came up and spoke, then pushed Yang Xiaotao out.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless after hearing this. Why did their engine become a constraint?

Everyone looked over at this time, and the old man also looked at Yang Xiaotao at the end with a serious expression, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, you tell us about it."

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaotao stood up immediately.

"Commander, we have expedited the production of ten HXD-1 engines in the past few days."

"However, leaders, with the technology of our current factory, if there are sufficient materials and the workers are in good spirits, we can produce two to three units a day."

"Three?"

"Yes, and this is still a non-stop operation."

Yang Xiaotao was not exaggerating. In fact, there were not that many workers who could participate in the production.

Although everyone is not a professional, they all know that logistical production is the guarantee for front-line combat.

It is precisely because of so many unknown people working hard in the rear that they have enough weapons to fight.

So they believed what Yang Xiaotao said.

Because this is the normal situation in the country.

After a moment of silence, the old man asked seriously, "Is there any solution?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "One is that we hand over the drawings to suitable factories and let more factories participate."

“This way, the number will increase significantly.”

"The second is to increase the production capacity of the machines. This is a long-term plan."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he sat down aside.

This is also the best solution he could come up with.

"The first one, I think I can do it in the future, but not now."

Mr. Qian at the side spoke up immediately, and everyone looked over. He then explained, "Missiles have very high technical requirements for engines."

"A slight mistake will affect the performance of the missile."

"I have doubts about the quality of other factories."

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, everyone nodded immediately. This is also the national condition.

Since everyone is just copying, naturally they don’t have that much energy to invest in improving technology.

At this time, Mr. Chen suddenly spoke up, "If we give you more manpower and better machine tools, can you get ten machines?"

"Ten?"

Yang Xiaotao’s eyes widened. These are ten machines.

Even if the entire machinery factory did nothing else, it would not dare to produce ten machines a day.

"Ten. This is a military order!"

The old man at the top suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao knew there was no room for negotiation.

"Old Chen, you can mobilize some personnel, no matter who they are, we must give them our full support."

"Don't worry, I know."

Old Chen didn't look at Yang Xiaotao, but glanced at everyone. Old Huang and others all nodded.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

The old man at the top suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao quickly composed himself and kept his face calm.

"You have to know that the earlier we develop combat effectiveness, the less loss our people will suffer."

"Our comrades can shed less blood."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao stood up and took a deep breath, "Commander, our machinery factory will ensure that the task is completed."

"it is good."

The old man also stood up and said, "When the time comes, I will present a meritorious banner to your machinery factory."

"Yes! We will definitely complete the mission."

"Did the Chief really say that?"

In the car, Yang Xiaotao drove towards the machinery factory, and Yang Youning asked again in the passenger seat.

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about how to arrange the workshop staff to better complete production, so he had no time to answer.

Besides, I have said it three times, and I am afraid I will say it a fourth and fifth time later.
"The leaders always keep their promises, as long as we can do it."

"Yes, provided we do it."

Yang Xiaotao interrupted, Yang Youning opened his mouth and then said, "Don't we still have Mr. Chen to help? Let's take a look first."

Yang Xiaotao said nothing more and could only continue driving.

After returning to the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao immediately called everyone to a meeting. With just one simple sentence, Yang Xiaotao asked everyone to figure out a solution on their own.

Anyway, we have to guarantee the production of ten units a day. If we fail to do it, no one can go home.

Everyone also realized the urgency of the matter, and they all used their brains and tried their best.

Although some unimportant parts can be assigned to other people, there are too many key parts, and so far, only Chen Chonghan and Shen Rong have fully mastered the assembly, while others have more or less some problems.

All this is a problem.

Yang Xiaotao felt powerless even when standing in the workshop.

Fortunately, good news continued to come the next day.

First, Master Huang and Master Xia came with twenty level eight master chefs.

This solved the staffing gap, and Yang Xiaotao immediately arranged for people to provide on-site guidance.

In the evening, Mr. Qin from the Logistics Department also came with fifteen level eight chefs.

Then, the Second Ministry of Machine Building sent ten masters, the Third Ministry of Machine Building ten, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building ten, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building eight, the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building ten, and the Eighth Ministry of Machine Building six.
On the fourth day, the number of level eight masters in the entire Red Star Machinery Factory exceeded three digits.

This made Yang Xiaotao want to say, "I have never fought such a prosperous battle."

Not only did the number of staff increase, but Mr. Chen also asked the Second Ministry of Machine Building to take back the machine tools that were originally given to the machinery factory.

Looking at the machine tool in front of him that represents the crystallization of French machinery, Yang Xiaotao took a look around and sneered.

Perhaps this machine tool is a little stronger than Morningstar, but not much.

Not to mention comparing with Germany.

However, this may just be a machine tool for a machinery factory.

But for Yang Xiaotao, it is more than just a machine tool.

With the people and machine tools, the production output of engines increased rapidly.

Especially after the machinery factory freed up two production lines in the third workshop for dedicated production, the daily output has exceeded ten units and can be maintained at around fifteen units per day.

Of course, this output is the result of workers working day and night and is the result of a short-term burst.

After this outbreak period, we will have to return to normal.

At that time, it was no longer something their machinery factory should consider.

Just as the machinery factory was frantically producing engines and the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was busy installing the engines on missiles, the situation in Shanghai was becoming more and more tense.

In the past, it would come about every three days, but now, it basically comes every other day.

Moreover, from the initial two planes, it has now become four, and the penetration distance is constantly increasing. The situation is getting more tense day by day.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft artillery units deployed on the periphery have replaced the original air defense missiles and become the main force in this battle.

A large number of anti-aircraft guns filled the sky, as if thousands of cannons were firing at the same time.

Unfortunately, the plane was too fast and after several battles, there was still no gain.

This passive defense also encouraged the opponent's arrogance.

To them, this is a victory.

A kind of technical crushing comforts their inferiority complex.

At this time, the missile troops originally deployed around Shanghai were busy changing their equipment in their base.

Every time an engine was produced by the machinery factory, it would be sent to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building by a special vehicle.

Then the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building urgently produced missiles.

Every time five missiles are collected, they will be transported to Shanghai by plane.

Then the troops here took over and familiarized themselves with the operations.

During this period, forty Jinglei missiles have been delivered successively, basically arming the four missile battalions.

As for the follow-up, the longer the time, the more missiles they will store.

After learning Jing Lei's basic data, the soldiers' confidence increased greatly.

In particular, this type of missile does not require liquid fuel, and as long as it is properly maintained, it can be pulled out for combat at any time.

This filled the officers and soldiers with fighting spirit.

They are all waiting for the moment when the other side launches a massive attack.

When the time comes, we will take them all down.

Senior officer.

In a mountainside villa.

The sinister old man was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and his face had never been as excited as it was now.

It even feels like I haven’t received so much good news in all these years.

But now, good news keeps coming, and victory is even more joyful.

Today I report where I flew to, and tomorrow I report that the other party has no choice but to use the turtle formation.

Small victories add up to big ones.

Isn't that how the other side treated them in the early days?

Now they can use this method against them as well.

This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

The sinister old man smiled and drank the wine in the glass, then walked to the chair, picked up the report on the table and read it carefully.

The achievements they made during this period successfully attracted the attention of their superiors, who highly recognized their proactive and daring behavior.

Not only did he give them full power to mobilize, he also contacted the financial backers behind them, hoping to obtain better planes from them in order to narrow the gap between the fighter planes.

I originally thought that the sponsor would give some second-tier aircraft. After all, in their opinion, even second-tier aircraft would be more than enough to deal with those peasants.

However, they didn't expect that their financial sponsor would directly give them the latest bomber that had been researched and put into service.

It is said that this XB-70 bomber is faster than the F104, whose exhaust cannot even be seen.

Moreover, the bomb load of one plane is equivalent to that of a squad of theirs.

Only a super technological power like the United States can produce such a powerful aircraft.

As for why the other party wanted to give them such advanced aircraft, he guessed it might be related to the battle in Annan.

After all, anyone with eyes can tell who is supporting the weapons that appear on the battlefield.

Especially those country rats that the financial sponsors hate, the kind of cars that just hit and run, and some crazy guys even put rocket launchers directly on them, how can those young soldiers tolerate this?

So the financial sponsor wanted to teach the other party a lesson through his own hands.

Of course, the equipment can be sold, but it is very important that the people driving it are our own people.

As sons, they are naturally happy to serve.

Thinking of this, the sinister old man looked at the report on the table. The driving training for the XB-70 bomber had been completed and the pilots were ready for the job.

The sinister old man became impatient.

"I'm going to give you a big one this time."
