Chapter 406 Let them see the power of Industrial Cthulhu!
No one expected that what was originally a simulation meeting would eventually turn into a swearing-in ceremony, and everyone began scrambling to take part in this battle.
It's just incredible.
Li Yunlong drove away the four battalion commanders who wanted to compete with him for the main attack mission, and let them go and cool off.
Now I'm just talking about convincing the leaders of the headquarters to join this battle. Before I even start, why are they already competing with me for the main attack mission?
It's all bullshit.
Li Yunlong always thought that he was the most radical armed element in the entire independent regiment, but he did not expect that each of his battalion commanders was more radical than himself. They were all arguing over things that had not even appeared yet.
After only the regiment commander, the political commissar and the minister were left in the conference room, some issues that were not suitable for discussion at the conference were actually brought to the table.
"Old Yu, you just said that we have to take the lead in this war. Do you really think so?" Zhao Gang has always been conservative, but he asked solemnly when only the three of them were present.
"Yes, Lao Zhao, I do think so."
Yu Ye nodded very seriously.
"Old Yu, we only had 7 people by the end of last year. This year, with the support of the Liaoyuan Arsenal, our development has indeed been a bit fast, but we still only have more than people. Can we really play the leading role?"
Zhao Gang still asked worriedly.
"Old Zhao, don't worry. Instead of worrying about us, you should worry about the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Nationalist Army. Even though they have more than 200,000 troops, they are still not enough to face the more than 200,000 Japanese troops.
I have a feeling that if they play the leading role this time, this battle will be very ugly and the casualty ratio will be extremely exaggerated.
In order to win, we must or can only shoulder this responsibility."
Yu Ye said seriously.
"Besides, Lao Zhao, you have to believe in the strength of our Liaoyuan Arsenal. Now that our Liaoyuan Arsenal has completed its expansion, our production capacity will open your eyes.
Isn’t our team just over 100,000 people?
Give me three months and I can get them all outfitted.
In the past, people said we were unsophisticated and our equipment was not good enough, but this time our appearance will shock the whole of China!"
Yu Ye slammed the hammer hard on the table, making a loud sound.
"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, we now have our own gunpowder production factory, gunpowder granulation factory, we now have our own chemical plant, we now have our own steel plant, we now have our own copper mine, we have cotton, we have timber...
We have everything we need to make weapons. I don’t believe I can’t kill these little devils with my huge amount of bullets!”
Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong: "......"
The two of them saw a kind of fanaticism in the depths of Yu Ye's eyes, a kind of fanaticism that was often only seen in Li Yunlong above them.
Zhao Gang asked tentatively: "Old Yu, how many weapons do you plan to make?"
"If we maximize the production capacity of each of our workshops and have all workers work in three shifts, I think it will not be a problem to produce 56 Type 200 semi-automatic rifles and million rounds of ammunition in three months.
As for the artillery shells, it is hard to say now, but it should not be a problem for the 155 howitzer to have 1000 rounds.
As for explosives, I'll have Chen Kan maximize the production capacity. It shouldn't be a problem to produce 100 tons."
Yu Ye was busy writing and drawing on his notebook to calculate the production capacity of each party, while he was orally reciting various data to the two.
"How many?"
The head of the independent regiment and the political commissar both widened their eyes at the same time. How could they remain calm and composed when surrounded by powerful enemies?
Yu Ye raised his head, his eyes full of innocence: "That's what I just said, what? You still think it's not enough? Indeed, the bullets are indeed a little short, we still have to find a way to increase production capacity.
See if we can talk to Sister Xiuqin and ask her to ask their textile factory to stop producing cotton cloth and cotton yarn for the time being, and to transfer all the cotton and workers here to complete the production of bullets first.
According to this statement, the coal-fired factories could also temporarily shut down and transfer all their workers here to increase the production capacity of bullets first.
Based on this calculation, we will probably have to open three more production lines. I estimate that we can add another 200 million rounds of ammunition in three months.
However, I am worried that there is not enough copper, so I have to ask the Bizigou Copper Mine to step up mining.”
Yu Ye had fallen into a state of frenzy, frantically gathering various resources in his mind and arranging production plans.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: increase production capacity, increase production capacity, and increase production capacity by any means necessary.
Both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were shocked by Yu Ye's words. They followed Yu Ye every day and knew that the Liaoyuan Arsenal was extremely powerful, but they did not have a real sense of this power.
The two of them only knew that when an independent regiment or brigade lacked various equipment, there would always be a solution by finding Yu Ye or Liaoyuan Arsenal.
Perhaps because every demand was met, they did not know the limits of the Liaoyuan Arsenal.
After listening to the data that Yu Ye just reported, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang finally felt it was real. It turned out that the Liaoyuan Arsenal had grown into such a behemoth!
This huge monster had been hiding in deep water before. When the Japanese's actions this time disturbed this monster from the deep water, it will surprise everyone.
What surprised Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong even more was that after simple training, the workers in the textile factory and coal stove processing factory were also able to make guns and bullets.
It's amazing that workers can switch between each other so smoothly.
Even Li Yunlong himself did not realize that his bedmate Xiuqin had become a qualified worker or a qualified workshop director and factory manager, and could be converted to the head of the weapons workshop at any time.
Looking at their surprised expressions, Yu Ye could only say that they really had never seen the world. If all the industrial production capacity of China in the future were fully opened, it would shock the whole world.
That is the real massive production capacity, and that is the most powerful industrial capacity in human history.
