"Commander Liu, forgive me for not listening to me, Guangyuan, where your independent regiment is stationed, except for the high mountains and forests, which is a good place to escape from military disasters and wars, what else can you provide? Convenient transportation? Or is it a tax advantage? Or is it rich in raw materials? Sichuan, is there steel? Ha ha. The King of Shanxi, who was hit by Liu Lang's unrevealing backstab, was obviously a little angry, and used all the disadvantages of Guangyuan to hit Liu Lang.

According to Comrade Yan's thoughts, what he said is basically the truth, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.

However, he did not know that since Liu Xiang sat firmly in the position of the boss of Sichuan Province, Sichuan's transportation would develop at an astonishing speed with the support of the central government. From 1934 to 1937, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, the main artery of Shaanxi from Rongcheng through Mianyang, Jiange and Zhaohua to Guangyuan, was fully connected.

The time from Guangyuan to Hanzhong will be shortened from one week to two days, and if you are driving, you can reach it in one day.

As for saying that there is no steel? The large iron ore found in the base of the independent regiment, if fully developed, can almost be built into the "Panzhihua" of the Republic of China.

Liu Lang smiled, laughing so much that Comrade Yan who sat back and watched Liu Lang make a fool of himself was a little inexplicable, is this Sichuan baby a little stupid?

"Chief Yan, what you said is indeed the case with Guangyuan now, but do you believe it or not? You give me five years, no, four years, you will find that these will no longer exist, as for the taxes you said, I can represent the people of northern Sichuan, exempt you from all taxes of Taiyuan Machinery Branch. Liu Lang said with a smile.

"Captain Liu, big words, but anyone can say it! What's more, according to what you just said, the Japanese army is very likely to launch a full-scale war within five years, and the old man can't wait that long, these treasures are the hard work of the old man for more than 20 years! "Comrade Lao Yan is obviously very realistic, and he doesn't eat the pot of cookies that Liu Lang painted when he came up.

If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, Comrade Lao Yan is much more difficult to handle than those rich people who are stimulated by interests.

"Hehe, it's better like this, let's put it another way, Chief Yan, do you think it's possible?" Liu Lang had an idea, and thought of a question that Comrade Yan might be having a headache now.

"It doesn't hurt to hear about it." Comrade Yan replied noncommittally.

"I can help you with the barrel problem." Liu Lang said directly.

Comrade Yan's body shook, and his face, which had always remained calm, appeared shocked for the first time, and even a burst of murderous intent erupted in his eyes hidden behind the lenses, although he was soon forcibly covered up.

But how can these escape Liu Lang's induction.

Liu Lang was not afraid, but he was very excited, he made the right bet. Comrade Lao Yan really had a headache at this time.

Yes, Liu Lang's sentence is very short, but the amount of information contained in it is too great.

The king of Shanxi knew that the barrels of the guns that Liu Lang was talking about were not the barrels of mortars and field guns, and the barrels of these small cannons, which had been accumulated for 20 years, could be manufactured by themselves according to the special steel plates imported from abroad.

What he lacked now was the barrels of larger-caliber mountain guns, and even heavy guns, which were not only tightly controlled but also extremely difficult to manufacture.

Yes, Comrade Lao Yan has great ambitions, and his arsenal has already scheduled to start manufacturing heavy artillery next year, and as long as he can be self-sufficient in heavy artillery, the bald bigwigs who are far away in Nanjing will also have great scruples about Shanxi.

At all times, the right to speak is based on strength.

So at first, Comrade Yan was shocked, and he was shocked that no one else knew about this idea except for himself and a few henchmen. Liu Lang, how did you know?

Then the killing intent increased greatly, a person who even knew about his most secret plan in Shanxi was undoubtedly a dangerous person, plus he also had an elite independent regiment comparable to the combat effectiveness of an integrated division, such a person was even more dangerous.

The reason why he forcibly held down the killing intent was purely because Liu Lang's cunning and difficulty had already made an impression in the heart of the King of Shanxi, how could such a person let himself easily fall into danger? Comrade Yan wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Lang's gourd.

Of course, if Liu Lang's answer was not satisfactory, no matter what the price was, the king of Shanxi, who was already full of murderous intent, would never let him leave Shanxi alive. As for why a heroic regiment leader had an accident in Shanxi, there are many accidents, and after a long time, who still remembers a dead hero?

"Okay, tell me what specifications of barrels I need, and how to solve the source of the barrels." The eyes of the King of Shanxi were obviously a little colder.

Liu Lang seemed to be unknown, pointed to the machinery full of factories and said: "Everything always has to develop higher and stronger, and sticking to the old ways will only be eliminated, and the Taiyuan Arsenal is the same, if you want to restore the glory of a few years ago, it is just the development of light weapons, which can no longer meet the needs of the current war, Sir Yan, am I right?" ”

"Makes sense, go on." Comrade Yan's eyes hidden behind the lenses flickered slightly, but his face was much calmer than before.

If Liu Lang only speculated that heavy artillery would be built based on the situation, it would obviously be much more acceptable than spying. From the arsenal from only 3,000 people a year ago to 6,000 now, the king of Shanxi has no fear of others knowing his purpose of continuing to expand the military industry.

"The results of the First World War have told us that artillery is the real god of war, without heavy artillery, the supporting firepower will not be able to form a scale, and it must be passively beaten. The top level of the state government has already begun to actively plan the strategy of introducing heavy artillery from the West, and the two Bofors mountain guns equipped by our independent regiment are the results of the first step.

Under the rule of the central government, why the Nanjing Jinling Arsenal and the Wuhan Hanyang Arsenal could not manufacture heavy artillery, for well-known reasons, China now does not have the ability to smelt artillery tube alloy steel, and Chief Yan must also be troubled by this! If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that Chief Yan is more inclined to build his own heavy artillery, and the barrels are imported from abroad。。。。。。 Liu Lang looked at the king of Shanxi and talked eloquently.

At the same time that Comrade Yan's murderous intent was gone, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

This son is so wicked? Not only did he deduce that he wanted to build heavy artillery based on the situation, but what was even more terrifying was that he even speculated that he wanted to purchase cannon barrels from foreign companies?

The king of Shanxi would not think that Liu Lang's statement was from spying on the military intelligence this time, the reason is very simple, he himself is still brewing this idea, and he has never mentioned it to anyone at all, including the five sisters who are most trusted by him in the inner house.

It's just a demon! In addition to the term demon, the king of Shanxi really couldn't think of any other words to describe the harmless and chubby little fat man in front of him.

It wasn't until he saw Comrade Yan's frightened face and the killing intent that gradually faded, that a stone in Liu Lang's heart finally fell to the ground. This time the pretense finally did not fail.

Why does Liu Lang know? Naturally, it is not nonsense, nor is it as bewitching as Comrade Yan thought. The reason is very simple, the military history records are very clear, the Taiyuan Arsenal began to produce heavy artillery in 1934, and the barrels were all imported from the Third Reich, which has the closest relationship with China.

In the history of the Battle of Xinkou, it has been introduced that why the artillery of the Jin Sui Army finally lost in the artillery battle with the Japanese army has a great deal to do with the gun barrel. Barrels imported from the Krupp company of the Third Reich tended to soften and deform after dozens of shots.

Typical inferior products, Comrade Yan was pitted by that goods. As for why the Third Reich, which has always been known for its excellent quality, actually sold parallel goods, military historians have different opinions on this, but Liu Lang prefers one of them.

Japanese spies, the pervasive Japanese spies are very likely to have made a lot of small moves in it.

Whenever he thought of a nation that had coveted the Chinese nation for a long time and was planning to stay on the edge of the land of China, Liu Lang was in a cold sweat, and losing his vigilance against them was a crime against the entire nation.
