The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

If you are not a person of this era, it is difficult to understand the mentality and emotions of contemporary talents like Wang Zhu and the others.

When Zhu Bin first came to Shanghai, he had the idea of ​​a game in his bones. As an outsider, with his own technological power beyond the world, he had a good time playing a live-action version of the hegemony game, which seemed very cool.However, over the past few months, he has personally participated in the vigorous and tragic anti-Japanese war, and interacted with young talents such as Wang Yushan, Wang Pingnan, Yu Baoguo, etc., which gradually changed him.

Whether it is Wang Zhu, Wang Pingnan, or Yu Baoguo, they are all outstanding talents who can be counted among the Chinese and even the world in this era. If they just want to create a career, there is absolutely no problem in being a rich man.Even in the Western world where there is widespread discrimination and rejection of Chinese, if they are willing to pretend to be confused and know how to back down, they can still live a stable life.

However, none of them did that. Not only did they never evade, but they also stood up and resolutely rushed forward in the face of the turbulent domestic and international turmoil.

Wang Pingnan is already a well-known barrister in Shanghai, but he joins the Volunteer Army to face the flames of blood; Yu Baoguo refuses to be a good second-generation ancestor, but learns military strategy and waits for an opportunity to serve the country; Wang Weishan can be a good comprador and a millionaire , but gave up their bright future and used their thin bodies to fight the Japanese. Needless to say, people like Wang Zhu can be the chief engineer of a world-renowned aircraft company, and their level is there.

But they all chose to work hard for the strength of the country and the independence of the nation. Even though there were many criticisms and obstructions from the outside world, they never changed their original intentions and intentions. Although they died without regret, what kind of spirit is this?

Zhu Bin never understood it before. It is difficult for people who have not experienced the severe disasters of the entire nation and country to experience this kind of pain and hatred!At first he just felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, but now, looking at the yearning and excited eyes of a group of people, Zhu Bin suddenly thought that he had really done something meaningful, and it seemed worthwhile to continue doing so.

After seeing the real thing, Wang Zhu and the others excitedly left Zhu Bin's "Xinghua Machinery Factory" and returned to Jiangnan Shipyard.There, the large piece of land that Zhu Bin had circled in the name of the "Naval Equipment Technology Research Institute", as well as the leased office area and factory buildings in the shipyard, could be officially put into use.

With a new goal to strive for, Wang Zhu himself wanted to resign and come to specialize in aircraft design and manufacturing, while Wang Zhu, who was originally here, called for manpower directly. It's serious to pull out the posture.

To say that the hard work of these people over the past ten years is unusual, although there have not been many advanced aircraft in mass production, they have maintained the technical level of aircraft design and manufacturing, and have cultivated a large number of reserve talents. The students of Bayuzao alone have Seventeen, with the addition of several of them, it is not a problem to gather six or 70 professionals!

What Zhu Bin gave was not only a model, but also detailed drawings of several large boxes at the back. Each part was manufactured according to the standard and assembled!The skeleton, skin and many parts can be manufactured in Jiangnan, and secondly, hundreds of factories in Shanghai can be OEM. It's only ten days and half a month, and it won't last more than a month!

A group of elites in aircraft design and manufacturing have solved Zhu Bin's biggest problem, and then they will be busy with other tasks. Early base.

There are many reasons why all departments related to arms and weapons production and research are attached to the Ministry of the Navy. One of them is that Chairman Jiang is not at ease with everyone, so the government requires all departments involved in weapons research and production without exception. Everything must be brought under the unified jurisdiction of the state, and private individuals must not make it privately.Only Yan Laoxi, Chen Jitang, Guangxi, Yunchuan and other military leaders who can't control the government for the time being can fiddle with it themselves. There is no way for Zhu Bin to engage in such things in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Therefore, considering all the conditions, Zhu Bin contributed money and technology, and the Ministry of the Navy established such a research institute in the name. Even the main research and production, Zhu Bin simply put it in the Jiangnan Shipyard.

His calculations can be described as precise. In today's China, in terms of comprehensive technology and complete equipment, the Jiangnan Institute is second to none. In addition to the design, production and maintenance of ships and warships, there are also guns and other ammunition production lines. Special steel plants with an annual output of about [-] tons, large hydraulic presses, gantry cranes, large machine tools, etc., although they cannot manufacture huge ships of [-] tons by themselves, they will have no problem in general manufacturing of aircraft and automobiles.

Among the land leased in the name of the Marine Equipment Institute, in addition to the two 2-ton berths developed by sponsoring Jiangnan, there are two [-]-ton and [-]-ton berths each. The land allocated for the aircraft factory has been designed. Yes, but there was no one in the early stage. Now Wang Zhu and the others have taken over. With the equipment of foreign companies all over the place in Jiangnan and Shanghai, it is easy to build an aircraft factory by patching together.

In addition, because of this war, the national government realized that Shanghai could not be defended. All the guns and weapons production facilities in the Jiangnan Institute were dismantled and moved inward. The Colt small arms production line that came to install it.

In the early stage, this is the fastest and most appropriate approach. After the real independent research and development and production base is established, Zhu Bin can throw off his arms and build his own steel team at will. Now he can only make do with it.

Minister Chen Shaokuan hasn't come back yet, Vice Minister of the Navy Chen Jiliang is out of business in the south, Executive Vice Minister Li Shijia is being burned by various impeachment cases, and Zhu Bin, a nominal major, is left alone for the time being.

No one cares about it, you can just do what you want to do.

On May 5th, General Shirakawa Yoshinori, the commander of the Japanese army who had been stubborn for a month, finally hiccupped and went to Kudanzaka to meet his ancestors. As for becoming a god or a ghost, I don’t know. Anyway, the news spread, and Shanghai was full of people. The cheers were overwhelming, and the firecrackers were all deafening.

After many days of thinking, after carefully figuring out the contents of a booklet about assassination and defense strategies given by Zhu Bin, Wang Yaqiao finally made a decision to join forces with Zhu Bin. He himself serves as a senior consultant of the Global Defense Company, but There is no affiliation.At the same time, he also dispatched several capable generals under his command to serve as Zhu Bin's assistants.

Zhu Bin was quite satisfied with this result. In Shanghai, if he wanted to form a usable intelligence, defense, and assassination team, Wang Yaqiao's men were undoubtedly the best choice.

The two heroes who participated in the bombing and sinking of the "Izumo" but did not get the chance to play as substitutes were ordered to come. When they met Zhu Bin, they clasped their fists and saluted: "Ma Rulong, Husheng, I have seen Master Zhu!"

"Sure enough, they are two courageous and good men!" Zhu Bin looked up and down, and immediately beamed with joy. He secretly praised Wang Yaqiao's work scene, and he was willing to send such talents to him!

As the name suggests, Ma Rulong is tall and skinny, with a dangling skeleton that looks thin, but has a wild and unruly temperament. His two big hands are rough and powerful, and he looks like he has put in a lot of hard work. Introduced by myself, what I practice is the "Strong Eagle Claw Kungfu" handed down in my family, which can crush even hard pebbles!The nickname on the road is "the eagle catches the sharp spear and the horse is like a dragon". Needless to say, he also has good marksmanship.

Husheng's figure is only three or four centimeters shorter than Lu Zhida's, and he has a black beard like a steel halberd. The ferocious aura of wanting to cull prey at any time lingers around the body.However, Zhu Bin noticed that the guy's hands were exceptionally delicate and fair, and he obviously had a unique kung fu on them.If not, how did he get the title of "Tiger Master Cutting His Head"?

The breath is similar, so it is easy to get acquainted with each other naturally.Zhu Bin's appearance and style have always been unrestrained. He helped the two of them up and praised him repeatedly: "Brother Wang is willing to let the two brothers come to help, which shows how much he values ​​you! We brothers will make contributions together in the future, so there is no need for the father to come and go." Alright! Let me be called by everyone, you can call me Boss Zhu or Instructor Zhu!"

"Instructor?" The two looked at each other, Hu Sheng rolled his big eyes, grinned and said, "You mean, don't you want our brothers to work in some defense company?"

Before leaving, Wang Yaqiao told the two of them to do everything according to Zhu Bin's order, but Wang Boss didn't say too much about how to do it.In fact, after reading the pamphlet, Wang Yaqiao himself felt that he didn't have the confidence to ask for too much——according to the above routine, he was really protected by the defense elite trained by Zhu Bin, and he, the "killer king", could only stare blankly. , it is absolutely impossible to plan an assassination as easily as it is now.

Zhu Bin nodded and said: "Brother Wang must have explained before he asked you to come. What we are going to do is extremely demanding. Although the two of you each have extraordinary abilities and skills, I am afraid that you don't know enough about extraordinary methods. So my thoughts Yes, on the one hand, the two are assistant instructors to help train novices, and on the other hand, they also learn some new things at the same time, how about it?"

The two exchanged glances, and Ma Rulong simply agreed: "We will follow your orders!"

Pulling the two new partners together, they called together Liu Banxia and Lu Zhida, and the group drove to the temporary camp outside Baoshan County, the barracks where the Volunteer Army had been stationed before.

At this time, Baoshan County had not yet restored order. After the Japanese army withdrew, the people who were frightened by the war and ran away were hesitant to come back, so not many local residents came, but the foreign population was tens of thousands!Just a few days ago after the "Global Communications" company released a job advertisement, seeing the favorable conditions offered and the people who came here poured into Baoshan like a hundred rivers and seas, Zhu Bin and his party went into the county to have a look. Huge crowds!
