Beiyang reactionaries

It's just a sudden thought that many people will die in this war, and it's just a momentary sigh.In fact, it's not that Duan Xun can't wait until Germany and the Soviet Union go to war.When the Soviet Union and Germany are fighting to the death, China will attack again.At that time, the Soviet Union had no power to fight back.

But Duan Xun did not choose that.

Because Duan Xun knew that if it was "taking advantage of the fire to rob", the Soviet Union would not accept it.When World War II is over, the Soviet Union will inevitably have a grudge.At that time, there will be perennial confrontation between China and the Soviet Union.This is not what Duan Xun wants.Duan Xun wants to hurt the Soviet Union in World War I, and let the world powers see China's determination in World War I.Completely establish China's status.Only in this way will China have enough right to speak after the end of World War II.

A big country that has never fought a war is always just a big country in the imagination, and those big powers will not really give you enough right to speak.These discourse rights must be fought for by themselves.So this war must be fought.

"I want to have a meeting with the cabinet. You and Vice Chairman Chen (Chen Yi) will chair the military committee meeting for me, and together with the general staff, give orders to the front-line troops. Let the front-line troops enter the first level of combat readiness, and tell them that the war is about to come. It has begun. And let the equipment department enter the first-level combat readiness, and all military factories must start mass production of the required weapons, equipment and ammunition."

"Yes."

"Mr. Xian, I'm supposed to go south to meet you, but I'm really sorry for letting you come to Beijing."

Ren Hongjun handed Xian Guansheng a cup of tea and spoke very politely.Immediately, Xian Guansheng got up halfway, took the tea from Ren Hongjun's hand, and said, "Prime Minister Ren, you are too polite."

"Mr. Xian, the task at the top is tight, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

Ren Hongjun didn't have any opening remarks.

If it was a normal time, this kind of meeting would definitely involve a lot of digressions.After all, it was Ren Hongjun who invited Xian Guansheng, so he must have said a lot and greeted him.But now that the situation is urgent, Ren Hongjun has no time to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point.He said to Xian Guansheng: "Mr. Xian, I will tell you directly. Our country is likely to go to war after a while. The negotiations between our country and the Soviet Union have broken down. The Soviet Union has rejected our request. The Supreme Council is going to make a final effort, and The Soviet Union is conducting the last negotiation. If the negotiation fails again, then we and the Soviet Union can only use war to solve the problem. If the war is fought in our country, then our logistics can still be guaranteed. But once the war is fought outside the country, the logistics supply There will be many problems. The main problem is the problem of food. Our soldiers can only fight well if they eat well. We can’t go to the front to fight with them, the only thing we can do is to provide them with the best logistics.”

"Prime Minister Ren means canned food?"

Before Ren Hongjun said anything, Xian Guansheng understood what Ren Hongjun meant.

Because Xian Guansheng is currently the largest food merchant in China, and has his own food chain stores in China, and all major cities in China have his chain stores.There are not only food chain stores, but also food processing factories that produce all kinds of food.With the rapid growth of China's urban population in recent years, the food market has expanded rapidly.Many of the businessmen in the food business are the top richest people in China.

Xian Guansheng's business was some Cantonese snacks. After earning money, he began to sell some bacon, and then opened a food chain store.Later, it was discovered that European and American countries, and even Chinese businessmen in the Nanyang region started to open canning factories, and the business was very good.So he himself also opened a canning factory in China and became the originator of Chinese canned food.

There are many types of canned food.Canned fruit, canned beef, etc.

"Correct."

Ren Hongjun nodded.

"Mr. Xian, the military has taken a fancy to your company's canned meat. After all, we can't send meat to the front line all the time. After thinking about it, the canned food is the best way. Therefore, the military hopes to give the army a large amount of food." The area provides these canned meat. Things like canned food are easy to carry, easy to store, and very convenient to eat. It is a very intentional supplement for military logistics. Including canned fruit, it is very beneficial to the frontline army Things. Canned meat, canned fruit, and some canned vegetables are a great thing to be able to arrive late on the battlefield. So the military wants to place a large number of orders from Mr. Xian. Mr. Xian is the president of China's Food Chamber of Commerce The government hopes that Mr. Xian will come forward and organize companies in the food industry in our country to take orders from the military."

"Prime Minister Ren, how many orders does the military want?"

"The first batch of orders is [-] tons. The specific classification of canned food is here."

"Twenty thousand tons?"

"Yes."

"Prime Minister Ren, this amount is a bit large. Since it is needed ahead of time, glass cans must not be used, as they are easy to break. Then you can only use iron cans or aluminum cans, but with this kind of packaging, you can get so much in a short time There will be some difficulties."

Xian Guansheng was very surprised.

If the order of 2 tons is replaced by canned meat, it will be almost tens of millions of cans.This is not a small amount.

"As for the supply of packaging, Mr. Xian, you can rest assured. We will find a special factory to provide you with as much as you want. If the government helps you solve the packaging problem, can these orders be completed quickly?"

But it's just a can.

With China's current industrial strength, it is a breeze to produce the cans needed for cans.

Xian Guansheng didn't speak immediately, but was thinking there.

Consider the current canning production in China and consider the situation of each canning factory.Because Xian Guansheng knew that this was related to the frontline fighting, so he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, but he didn't care about patting his chest casually.After thinking for a while, he said, "Prime Minister Ren, production is not a problem. my country's current annual production of canned food is more than 18 tons. The monthly production can easily exceed 2 tons. If the organization is good, one month's production [-] tons is entirely possible. For other orders, we can definitely push back and ensure the supply of the army first."

"Mr. Xian, this is only the first batch of orders. The military told me that orders will be placed one after another in the next month, and the order will be about 10 tons. And Mr. Xian, you can rest assured. The military will not owe you money. On the military side, a 30% deposit will be given first, 40% will be paid for half of the production, and 30% will be paid for all production.”

"Being the prime minister, the national interest is where we are obliged, and there is no need to worry about money."

"Different."

Ren Hongjun shook his head.

Dao: "We hope that when the war is won, our industry will also develop. It is not for the war to destroy our country's economy. Mr. Xian should know that it is already a world war. You can safely expand the scale and produce as much as you can. .At that time, not only orders from our military, but also orders from outside will follow. It’s just that the military has such a large-scale order, and we hope that the price can be lower than the market price.”

"Prime Minister Ren, this is as it should be."

"Also, the orders that the military wants are to be taken to the front line. We don't want some substandard products mixed in with these items. If this is the case, then the charges are not ordinary charges."

"I know."

…………

"The Central Plains Military Region and the Central China Military Region allocate three-quarters of the trucks to the Lanzhou Military Region and the Northern Military Region. The Southwest Military Region and the Southeast Military Region allocate one-half of the trucks to the Lanzhou Military Region and the Northern Military Region. And those truck drivers must Take it, and it's a truck with two drivers."

Li Jishen and Chen Yi presided over the meeting of the Military Commission.

However, after all, Li Jishen joined the Military Commission as the leader of the Construction Corps, and he himself has left the army.Therefore, although Li Jishen is the vice chairman of the Supreme Council and a member of the People's Party's regular meeting, the chairman of the military committee meeting is still handed over to Chen Yi, the vice chairman of the military committee.

Since Li Jishen left the military department, the next deputy to Duan Xun was basically a figurehead.He has a great reputation and is qualified to take over the role of Duan Xun's deputy, but he doesn't have enough contacts and strength in the army.It can only be Duan Xun's mouthpiece and handle some daily affairs.

Including Sa Zhenbing before, and Chen Yi now.

But Chen Yi didn't think about seizing power, and of course he was self-aware.Therefore, what he presided over the meeting conveyed was basically Duan Xun's meaning.The front line is going to fight. Although there are already a large number of trucks on the front line, in order to ensure the logistics of the front line, the military committee continues to mobilize those trucks.

"What about the trucks that these military districts lack?"

Fang Dingying, commander-in-chief of the army, asked Chen Yi.

Chen Yi didn't answer, but Han Linchun from below said: "Commander Fang, this is just a stopgap measure. At present, the automobile factories in our country have stopped producing cars and buses, and they are all producing trucks with all their strength. Only the Ford factory still keeps a small amount of Car production. The Ford plant is currently producing trucks at full capacity, because they have also accepted a large number of truck orders from the military. According to the current production speed, my country’s annual truck production can exceed 30. Therefore, other military regions do not need to Don’t worry, you can continue to train truck drivers. Because in just a few months, they will be able to receive a brand new batch of trucks. All military regions don’t need to worry about this.”

China's current car production is very high.

As early as 1933, China's automobile production reached 37.9.Of course, this includes different types of vehicles such as cars, buses, and trucks.At that time, several automobile factories in China, especially the Chongqing Automobile Factory, Shenyang Automobile Factory, and Xi'an Automobile Factory built in the Second Five-Year Plan, all had limited production because they had not been mass-produced for a long time.

But after the Third Five-Year Plan, the output of these auto factories has increased.If it hadn't been for the war, it would not be a problem for China's auto production to reach 90 million or even millions of cars this year.

It's just that a large number of trucks are needed now, so many automobile factories have begun to lay new production lines, so the output has dropped.After the transformation is completed, with the strength of these automobile factories, there is absolutely no problem in producing more than 50 trucks per year.

"That's good."

"Also, the Central Plains Military Region and the Southwest Military Region each allocated two heavy artillery divisions to the Lanzhou Military Region, and the Central China Military Region and the Southeast Military Region each allocated one heavy artillery division to the Lanzhou Military Region. They will enter Gansu within a month and accept orders from the Lanzhou Military Region. "

"Yes."

Fang Dingying nodded.

The Xinjiang Military Region has become the top priority of the upcoming war.Therefore, a large number of artillery divisions were mobilized.At present, there are nearly 6000 cannons under the Xinjiang Military Region, but Duan Xun is still worried.Therefore, more artillery is constantly mobilized to the Lanzhou Military Region. As long as Xinjiang needs it, they can quickly enter Xinjiang to participate in the war.And there are still a lot of heavy artillery.

Only a big country like China can afford this kind of heavy artillery.

When Duan Xun decided to go to war, various systems in China were running non-stop.Not to mention that the military factory has begun to enter a state of war, and the army has undergone a large number of mobilizations.And it also placed large orders for those private factories.
