Then there was the big move of the factory, what textile mills, paper mills, cement factories, etc. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first to move are all light industry factories, after all, these things related to people's livelihood are urgently needed in the liberated areas such as Austria and the Philippines, and these factories are relatively easy to move.

As for heavy industries, such as steel mills, it can be temporarily reprished.

In fact, Zhang Chi's approach can't be regarded as moving, because not all of them moved, but some of them stayed in Tohoku and some moved to Okinawa...... There are tens of millions of people in the Northeast, and it is also a post-war reconstruction that also needs people's livelihood enterprises, so it is obviously not cost-effective and impractical to move out.

It's a bit like the various industries in Tohoku have set up branches in Okinawa, but Zhang Chi is a little more selfish and brings most of the better machines, machine tools, and skilled employees to Okinawa.

Of course, this point also respects the personal intentions of Northeast employees...... Some employees are reluctant to leave their hometowns if they are dragging their families in the Northeast, and it is understandable that Zhang Chi is relaxed on this point, so he does not force it. For those employees who are willing to relocate to Tohoku, Zhang Chi will do his best to move his immediate family members to Okinawa as well.

The focus of this is the Dalian Shipyard.

Okinawa is an island, and although the population on the island will become more and more dense, the area of the whole island is only about 2,000 square kilometers. (Note: Okinawa covers an area of 2,249 square kilometers and Hong Kong covers an area of 1,104 square kilometers).

However, Okinawa has the advantage that there are many small islands that can be used in the vicinity, and they are not too small in size. The Ryukyu Islands are a total of 55 islands, and of course they are controlled by the Sino-American coalition at this time...... In fact, as long as the islands within the radius of Okinawa and aircraft operations are basically under the control of the Sino-US coalition forces, even if there are Japanese troops on them, they can only wait for the fate of starvation or cleansing.

In this way, if some factories cannot be located in Okinawa, they can be located on these islands according to their geographical location.

Needless to say, the connection between the islands and the task of exporting products and raw materials from Okinawa to the outside world required a large number of transport ships.

At this time, transport ships are in short supply...... A large number of transport ships were blown up during the war to transport military supplies, and only a few wrecked ships captured by the Japanese have been left in the war.

On the other hand, Zhang Chi also knew that for Okinawa, the navy was also particularly important...... If the islands are gone, they will be held back and unable to develop, just like the current Japanese mainland.

That is to say, whether from the perspective of people's livelihood, economy or military, shipyards and shipbuilding technology are the top priority.

So Zhang Chi did everything possible to dig up the old masters and old technicians of Dalian shipbuilding, but if it didn't work, he would ask them to go to Okinawa for a few years for the time being, and then consider the problem of staying after bringing out a group of apprentices.

At first, Zhang Chi thought that he needed to send someone to look for business opportunities, but soon the business came to the door, and it was a big business......

Zhang ...... Good news! On this day, Stilwell called Zhang Chi: "I will report your relocation of the factory to Washington, and Washington is very supportive of your doing!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Chi replied.

This is not good news for Zhang Chi, who knew early on that Washington would not object...... If he objected, all the materials needed on Okinawa would have to be shipped from the United States, and they would be supplied free of charge by the United States.

"And ......," Stilwell said, "you know, General MacArthur is also leading the U.S. Army in the Philippines against the enemy, and they need a lot of supplies, both military and civilian...... God, your factories are ready! ”

Zhang Chi's eyes immediately widened: "General, what do you mean...... Washington intends to hand over these materials to us for production? ”

"Yes!" Stilwell replied: "You know, those strategic materials have to be transported all the way from the United States or Austria to the Philippines, and if Okinawa can produce them, it will undoubtedly shorten the delivery cycle and freight to a great extent, and at the same time ...... You also said that Okinawa's labor costs are low, aren't they? That saves us a lot of money! But I'll have to make sure you're ready...... You know, it's no joke, it's about the supply of the army, and Washington is worried about whether you have the ability to do that! ”

"Ready, of course ready!" Zhang Chi replied: "Don't worry, general, we have this ability!" ”

"Good!" "It's likely that the order will include uniforms, helmets, boots, compressed biscuits, cement ......," Stilwell said

Hearing this, I almost jumped for joy.

Damn, Zhang Chi only knew that Japan rose by virtue of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US-Vietnam War and China's reform and opening up, but he didn't expect that World War II was going on when he was building Okinawa industry...... As a result, Okinawa would have almost the same advantages as post-war Japan in history, and its location would be much closer to the mainland of Southeast Asia than the United States, so it would obviously save a lot of money by producing in Okinawa.

"General!" Before Stilwell could continue, Zhang Chi replied, "I'll be there soon, I think we need to talk about this in detail!" ”

"Of course!" Stilwell agrees, after all, this is no small matter.

Zhang Chifei rushed to Stilwell's office.

As soon as Stilwell saw Zhang Chi, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Major General...... Your factory will receive orders soon! ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "Thanks to your report!" ”

"Look at this ......," Stilwell handed Zhang Chi a document, which was densely packed with various product names.

"This is the need in the direction of the Philippine battlefield!" Stilwell explained: "What Washington meant...... It is you who do what you can produce, and you can produce as much as you can...... Because the demand is too large, from the perspective of the United States, it is a sum to be saved! ”

Zhang Chi took the document and flipped through it...... In fact, there is no need to turn over at all, as a person who has come to the battlefield, Zhang Chi knows too well what is needed on the battlefield, and these even include rifles, cars and tanks.

It's just that Okinawa doesn't have the capacity to produce some things, especially American-style rifles, cars, and the like.
