Glorious Mission 1937

() "The second thing is about the development of the base. With the expansion of the army, the required weapons and equipment and clothing will be three to five times that of the previous ones. Therefore, all factories must increase production capacity, otherwise they will not be able to meet the needs of the troops. needs. Therefore, everyone will talk about the situation of their respective factories now, and the iron and steel factory will first talk about it." Chen Feng said.

Hearing Chen Feng's nomination, Xue Zhiping, director of the iron and steel factory, pushed his drooping glasses and said: "Our iron and steel factory now has a total of 3444 workers and 121 foreign technicians. The steel factory has four blast furnaces with an annual output of 12.5 tons of high-quality steel. The production capacity is 50 tons of high-quality steel per year. However, due to the lack of raw materials, only one of the four blast furnaces in the steel plant has been put into use, and a total of more than 800 tons of high-quality steel has been produced so far. In addition, there are also some derivative metals, mainly gold 3 taels, 9 taels of silver, 19 tons of copper, [-] tons of tin, and several other rare metals."

Xue Zhiping is 55 years old and is from Fengtian in Northeast China.It turned out to be a professor of metallurgy at Peking University who had worked in the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant built in China by Japan. Chen Feng had specially invited him from Peiping to be the director of the iron and steel plant.

The old man originally didn't want to come to work with Chen Feng, a small warlord, but he was tied to the mountain by Chen Feng.But when the old man saw the four huge blast furnaces on the mountain and William, a German steel expert, he readily agreed to stay here as the factory director.

"Only one blast furnace is in operation, and the monthly steel output is only about [-] tons. This output can meet the needs of the troops for the time being, but in the future, we will also produce our own artillery vehicles, tanks, and even our aircraft. , In this way, the demand for steel will reach a terrifying amount, and the monthly production of [-] tons of steel is far from meeting the needs of the troops. I don't know how Mr. Xue can increase the production of the steel plant." Chen Feng asked.

Xue Zhiping thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are two factors that limit the output of steel factories, one is raw materials, and the other is workers. Our production equipment is far more advanced than that of other countries in the world, although I don't know the owner of this set of equipment. Where did you get it from, but I can give you a guarantee, as long as the raw materials can meet the supply and the labor force is sufficient, then there will be no problem at all with an annual output of 50 tons. And the quality of the steel we produce will be much higher than Other countries in the world will be better than the little devil in terms of manufacturing weapons and protective gear."

"I will recruit workers for you as soon as possible. Now a large number of refugees are fleeing to us every day. Don't worry, I can send you [-] workers in up to ten days. But the question of raw materials has to be asked of the mining farm. , I can't conjure iron ore myself." Chen Feng said with a smile.

Xu Dagen, the person in charge of the mining field, hurriedly got up and said: "Master, there are more than 1000 people in our mining field, but due to the lack of mining equipment on the mountain, and the rugged and difficult roads, large vehicles and mechanical equipment cannot enter, so the output is very high. limited, so I can't think of any way to increase production for a while."

After talking, Xu Dagen lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Feng. He had indeed tried his best, but due to limited conditions, it was almost impossible to increase production capacity in a short period of time.

Chen Feng knew that Xu Dagen was really in trouble. Although Daqing Mountain was a tall mountain, it was about 500 kilometers long from north to south, and about [-] kilometers wide from east to west. The east and west sides were surrounded by [-]-meter-high cliffs. Ren, birds are difficult to cross, only the south is relatively gentle, but it is also extremely difficult to transport large machinery and equipment to the mountain.What's more, the iron ore transport in the mining field is completely dependent on people carrying horses on their backs, which is inefficient.

In fact, this matter is easy to solve. Among the rewards Chen Feng received this time is a mining farm construction order. According to the information given by the system, as long as the mining farm construction order is placed in a mining area rich in mineral resources, the annual production capacity will reach hundreds of millions. tons, which can fully meet the demand of 50 tons blast furnace.

But what troubled Chen Feng was that Daqing Mountain was rich in mineral resources, but it was not an open-pit mining area. All the mineral resources were underground. Not to mention the high cost of mining, it also required a lot of manpower.However, Cao Siyao Township, 45 kilometers away from Daqingshan, has a huge mining area, where the mineral resources are extremely rich, and its reserves are hundreds of times that of the Daqingshan mining area.In addition to the main metal molybdenum, there are also a large number of metals, such as iron, gold, copper and so on.Moreover, it is an open-pit mining area, which is extremely easy to mine, and the other thing is the molybdenum metal that Chen Feng has taken a fancy to.

Molybdenum is an essential trace element for the human body, animals and plants. It is a silver-white metal, hard and tough.In the metallurgical industry, molybdenum is used as an additive to produce various alloy steels, or to form advanced alloys with tungsten, nickel, cobalt, zirconium, titanium, vanadium, rhenium, etc., to improve its high temperature strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.Alloy steels containing molybdenum are used to manufacture transportation devices, locomotives, industrial machinery, and various instruments.

Certain stainless steels containing 4% to 5% molybdenum are used in the production of precision chemical instruments and equipment used in seawater environments.Containing 4% to 9.5% of high-speed steel can manufacture high-speed cutting tools.Alloys of molybdenum, nickel and chromium are used to manufacture metal components of aircraft, corrosion-resistant parts on locomotives and automobiles.Alloys of molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, and vanadium are used to manufacture alloy components and parts of warships, tanks, guns, rockets, and satellites.

If the mine construction order is placed in Cao Siyao, the iron and steel factory will get molybdenum ore, and the steel containing molybdenum element produced in the future will be of much higher quality than the current steel. If the mine construction order is placed in the large Qingshan's words will not be conducive to the later development of mining farms and steel factories.

But if it is not used, the problem of lack of raw materials in the steel plant cannot be solved, entangled.Suddenly Chen Feng realized that this is the period of the Republic of China, not the 21st century. Everything he does now is for survival. The first thing to pay attention to is safety, followed by other aspects.

The Cao Siyao mining area is indeed good, but there is no danger to defend there, and it is not far from Zhangbei and Guyuan controlled by the Japanese puppet army. In terms of safety factor, it is not as good as Daqingshan.In addition, the distance between the Daqingshan mining area and the iron and steel plant is only less than one kilometer, and transportation is very convenient, while the distance between the Cao Siyao mining area and the iron and steel plant is a full 45 kilometers. Without large-scale engineering vehicles, transportation will be a huge challenge. Therefore, after thinking about it, Mu Chenglin decided to use the mining farm construction order on the spot.

"Dagen, don't blame yourself. I know you've done your best. Just leave the rest to me. I'll build a large mining farm for you tomorrow. Sit down." Feng Chen said confidently.

The director of the arsenal, Nan Gongyan, got up and said: "The arsenal consists of a gunpowder factory, a Mauser 98k rifle factory, a grenade factory, an ammunition factory, and a gun repair shop. The gunpowder factory has more than 800 workers and an annual output of 300 million tons of gunpowder. Mauser rifles There are more than 1300 workers in the factory, with a monthly output of more than 8000 Mauser rifles, and now there are 98 Mauser 1k120 in stock. The grenade factory has more than 600 workers, with a monthly production of 18 grenades, and now there are German-style long handles in stock. There are 33 hand grenades. There are 1080 workers in the ammunition factory, which produces about 500 million rounds of bullets and more than 4000 artillery shells per month. Now there are more than 300 million rifle ammunition in stock, more than 900 million machine gun ammunition, and six mortar shells. More than 350 rounds and more than 110 rounds of infantry artillery shells. There are [-] firearms repair workers, including [-] foreigners, who are responsible for the repair and improvement of army firearms."

"Well, the situation in the arsenal is not bad, but the production structure is a bit monotonous. First of all, we can't produce our own machine guns and artillery, let alone our own tanks and tanks. Of course, we can't blame anyone for this. If you want to blame, blame our country for being too backward. It is not our fault for being behind, but if we lose the confidence to challenge after falling behind, then it is our fault. Therefore, the arsenal is catching up, and now it can produce rifles and grenades as well as The ammunition is gone, although the production capacity of the steel factory is insufficient, the supply of the arsenal should be more than enough, so you adjust the industrial organization, add another machine gun production factory, and I will build the production equipment, I believe you can do it well." Chen Feng said.

"As long as the teacher can get the production equipment, I promise to complete the task." Nangong Yu said loudly.

"Okay, what I'm waiting for is your words!" After speaking, Chen Feng burst into laughter.

Hu Jishi, the director of the field hospital, got up and said: "There are 114 doctors, 513 trainees, and 447 medical staff in the army's field hospital, including 88 foreign doctors. In addition, the field hospital has 1220 beds, and the wounded who are currently hospitalized for treatment There are 2124 people."

"The field hospital is very important. Now that you are on the mountain, you may move to the city after a while, and you may even go out with the army, so you must be mentally prepared."

"The Japanese bandits are rampant. We are all ready to sacrifice our lives for the country. As long as the master gives the order, I, Hu Jishi, this old bone, will be ready to call at any time."

"Mr. Hu is proud, hehehe. By the way, Mr. Hu, your field hospital is not only responsible for treating diseases and saving lives, but also has the responsibility of training qualified military doctors for our army. You should personally take care of this matter."

"Okay, no problem. The group of young men sent by the division some time ago are good. In a year at most, I can train them to be a qualified military doctor. At least it is no problem to deal with trauma. Take a bullet or something Surgery definitely does the job."

"it is good!"

Finally, Chen Feng's father stood up and said, "I am in charge of the warehouse on the mountain. It is divided into food area, medicine area, weapon equipment area, treasury, and daily necessities area. The specific warehouse management is managed by the general manager of each area. Let them report to you in person."
