"The Tiger I tank we gave the Soviet Union was $24,000, and the Tiger Shark I fighter was sold to the Soviet Union for $21,000." Shen Hong smiled at Zhang Xueliang and the others.

"Now, we have sold one hundred and fifty Tiger Sharks and two hundred Tiger Sharks to the Soviet Union, and according to their responses, they are using them well!" Shen Hong nodded, our three eastern provinces have also made a lot of money!

Of course, not only the three eastern provinces have earned, in fact, the R&D Institute has also earned a lot! In order to encourage research and development, Tu Qianjun formulated a rule: for each weapon developed, each time it is sold to the outside world, the profit of each aircraft will be divided into the research and development.

Some of these will be used as R&D funds, and the other part will be distributed to engineers and R&D personnel as bonuses. Tu Qianjun, who came from later generations, knows how hard life is for the R&D personnel in those countries.

Especially when the country is not developing, they almost tighten their belts to get by! In the most difficult time, it is light to eat if you don't have enough food.

Now that he has the conditions, Tu Qianjun doesn't want the R&D personnel under his command to suffer! Yes, he set all kinds of rewards very high! In particular, skilled workers are encouraged, and the treatment of skilled workers in the three eastern provinces is not high!

Not to mention the special kindergarten to high school and college, the monthly subsidy, salary and bonus are higher than a well-off home! There are even various benefits!

Tu Qianjun, who has been mixed in the military industry for a while, knows that the rarity of senior jobs is even more important than that of engineers!

Tu Qianjun didn't tell anyone about this thought, but he himself thought of it: Lao Tzu is not very demanding! Give Lao Tzu a few eighth-level fitters, welders, and millers...... Lao Tzu was satisfied!

Of course, he also knew that this was unlikely. Even in the later generations, I don't know how many real eighth-level workers the entire country can have. Those who are alive are basically national treasures!

Before Tu Qianjun crossed over, he even saw an old man who was said to have a handmade car with an atomic bomb fuse! In that year, some eighth-level workers were transferred to national projects and battles, and that was still possible.

But if other factories want to borrow it, the director of the factory will definitely turn his face and not recognize people!

In the mid-eighties, a factory of the Third Machine Division. The production of the main frame girder, that is, a four-level milling worker, does the work with higher precision than the original CNC machine tool in France! And the eighth-level worker, to what extent can be imagined.

To put it simply, Tu Menghu is now at most thinking about it. But basically, it is desperate to produce such workers. The advantage of the three eastern provinces now is that they can constantly have the opportunity to practice for the workers below, and according to Tu Menghu's actual idea, they will not be able to produce eighth-level workers. If you give me a fifth-level or sixth-level senior worker, then I will be satisfied!

These people are the real industrial hens! With them, there will be machine tools with higher precision and better quality! These people are the real core force of an industrial power!

"Of course, we now also have orders from the United States." Shen Hong smiled and said proudly to Zhang Xueliang and the others: "It can be said that the tanks and fighters produced by our national defense force have all been tested in actual combat. And this was also recognized by General Patton, who came from the United States. He is now discussing a new type of armored combat theory with teachers and students of our senior command department at the Northeast National Defense University......"

Zhang Xueliang and the others couldn't help but be in a trance when they heard this, once upon a time we were able to export weapons?! Or export to such powers as the United States and the Soviet Union! Of course. They didn't know what Shen Hong had concealed about the export to Germany.

Otherwise, they will only drop their jaws, you must know that most of the weapons in the country now come from Germany! The German Krupp gun, which basically symbolizes the best quality! If the weapons produced in the three eastern provinces can be exported to Germany. But you can imagine what it means!

With all kinds of emotion, Zhang Xueliang and the generals under his command visited factories in other places under the leadership of Shen Hong. This includes the extremely important fighter production line, and the generals around Zhang Xueliang, who looked at the murderous fighter jets, were silent.

This is not an old-fashioned biplane fighter assembled with engines imported from the three eastern provinces, but a new type of fighter that was completely self-produced and defeated the Japanese army in actual combat!

And along the way, Shen Hong did not stop explaining. Each step is explained in detail, how many technical difficulties have been overcome during research and development, and how many materials have been completed.

Among them, what kind of help did the Yellow Sea Research Institute, which assisted in tackling key problems, give...... Wait a minute! Speaking eloquently, Zhang Xueliang and the others knew what kind of efforts these seemingly magnificent successes had behind them!

Finally. The day's visit is over. Zhang Xueliang took Sun Mingjiu and others back to the Dashuai Mansion. Just like the shock that Zhang Xueliang received before, Sun Mingjiu and they were also stunned by this kind of achievement! I couldn't extricate myself for a long time.

At dinnertime, Zhang Xueliang summoned them to the dining room and looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "I want to hear everyone's feelings about today's visit." Let's be honest! Don't worry about me! ”

Zhang Xueliang was afraid that these generals who loved him would take into account their own feelings and not say their thoughts about today's visit. It is to get vaccinated in advance.

Hearing Zhang Xueliang say this, these generals who have been with him for a long time know Zhang Xueliang's thoughts. But the crowd remained silent. They are reluctant to say what they really think. In their opinion, this is disrespectful to Zhang Xueliang.

"If you don't say it, then I'll say it myself......" Seeing that they were silent, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but sigh and said to everyone.

"Tell the truth! I was shocked, I didn't expect that in just a few years, Junzi would actually do what neither I nor Lao Shuai did. Actually, I visited some of the factories with my uncle long before you came......"

"But when I saw it again. Still shocked! Slowly glancing at everyone, Zhang Xueliang said in a deep voice: "I used to be complacent that I built our first car in China. Although the engine and important parts of that car were imported, after all, the domestic production rate reached 70%. I used to be excited about that. ”

"Look at the current army! I suddenly felt that I was so ridiculous at that time, and a car whose main equipment was provided by foreigners was worthy of my complacency?! ”

Saying that, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Looking at these subordinates, he whispered: "Look at other people's soldiers, now they can produce their own cars, tanks and even fighter jets!" These are completely homemade! None of the parts came from abroad! ”

Zhang Xueliang's words were like a hammer smashing into everyone's hearts. They were still silent, and after a long while, Sun Mingjiu said in a hoarse voice: "Commander, we admit that the development of the National Defense Force is good. Commander Tu is also doing a good job, but let's ......."

"You're saying we didn't find this opportunity, did you?!" Zhang Xueliang looked at Sun Mingjiu and said softly: "I still want to say." Is the army lucky?! ”

Sun Ming was dumbfounded for a long time, and these two reasons were not palatable. There is a chance on the Middle East Road, but what has become of the Northeast Army?! In the end, it is still necessary to slaughter thousands of troops who have come back from the United States to clean up the mess.

On 918, the entire Northeast Army chose to retreat. However, only Tu Qianjun attacked frantically with his own strength, which laid the foundation of the current Wehrmacht. These were all experienced by the Northeast Army and the Wehrmacht in the early days.

Why is this an opportunity for the Wehrmacht, but a crisis for the Northeast Army?! Luck?! The first to engage in the battle was the Northeast Army! If you have to come to a conclusion, it can only be said: Tu Menghu is stronger than Zhang Xueliang!

Regardless of whether Sun Mingjiu is willing to admit it or not. That's the truth!

"The army is stronger than me! Even, he is better than me and Lao Shuai! Zhang Xueliang looked at Sun Mingjiu and said word by word: "This is a fact that we must recognize!" ”

Everyone was no longer angry, but Zhang Xueliang paused and continued: "After I was rescued from Nanjing by Uncle Pao before, I was thinking: Jiang Zhongzheng was forced to let me go, but can he let go of the Northeast Army?!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned! This is a question they have never thought about.

"We still have ammunition reserves now, so we don't have to worry about Nanjing's neck. But there will be a day when these reserves run out. What will we do then?! Zhang Xueliang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "And! Now the Nanjing government doesn't bother us, but what if we go to be cannon fodder once the fight starts?! What if we are killed?! ”

Zhang Xueliang's words. The crowd couldn't help but fall silent. Jiang Zhongzheng and the Nanjing State Government definitely did these things! It's not the first time they've used war to bring their allies to death.

When the time comes, what should the Nanjing government do if it treats itself like this?! You know, after all, you are now under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing government. Especially in the event of a war against Japan, it is impossible for him to refuse the deployment of the state government in Nanjing.

He pushed himself to death, what to do?!

"Brother Hucheng of the Seventeenth Route Army is also worried about this problem." Zhang Xueliang looked at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice: "Now, I will hand over this issue to you. Look at it. What should we do! ”

After speaking, Zhang Xueliang no longer brought up this topic but let everyone eat. After eating a meal, he drove everyone back to their respective rooms, and Zhang Xueliang stayed in the study by himself, and ordered no one to disturb him.

At this time, the inner courtyard of an inconspicuous hut in Longyan City. Huo Qingyun changed into civilian clothes and was quietly eating the food delivered to him with the crows under his command.

It's a point of contact here and there, and on the surface it looks like an ordinary person. But in fact, this place is connected to several houses in the surrounding area through tunnels.

Huo Qingyun: They have already taken off their military uniforms and off-road camouflage. He changed into clothes marked with the name of Fuyuan in Guangfu. Fuyuan is a business name in Guangfu. Of course, this is an ordinary trading house dealing in seafood on the surface.

But in reality, it's a point of contact everywhere. Everything is well-documented. Huo Qingyun's face was a little salo. An inconspicuous black mole was added.

The blade-like eyebrows had also been trimmed, and now even his father could not recognize this as his own son when he stood in front of him. These are all skills learned from Zhang Xiu.

After eating, the crows returned to the house to rest in silence. The whole process was done without anyone talking, and it was already their habit. And the same habit is to keep yourself from hungry and not to eat too much so as not to affect your movements.

In the middle of the night, there was no longer any sound in the entire Longyan City, except for the barking of dogs and the occasional sound of passers-by walking. At this time, the crow had woken up! They changed into gray gilly suits, which were specially made to facilitate their movement at night.

After checking their weapons one last time, the crows gathered in silence in the courtyard.

At two o'clock in the morning on January 15, 1937, the Banshang Wing stationed in Longyan heard a clear sound of gunfire in the distance! Wing Captain Ita Katobuki jumped up from the bed at once!

Then he received a telegram from the Red Square! Noda, the captain of the brigade stationed in the Red Square, claimed that he had been attacked by a large force of red troops, and judging by the strength of the attack and the sound of gunfire, this was the main force of the red army! And their purpose, there is no doubt that it is to break through the Red Square!

In view of the fact that the Red Square only has the strength of a large brigade and lacks heavy weapons, it is an urgent request for tactical guidance from the wing commander!

The telegram received on the board and did not immediately send reinforcements, and he fell silent as he held the telegram.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander. Why don't you send reinforcements to Noda-kun immediately?! Akagi Yoshinari, who belonged to the board wing, was anxious and said to his wing captain.

On the board, he pinched the telegram and said to Akagi in a deep voice: "Akagi! You must know, I'm the Wing Captain! Here, you have to at least keep enough respect for me!! ”

"Hay! Your Excellency, Wing Commander, your subordinates are too anxious! Akagi hurriedly apologized, looked at the face on the board of Akagi who lowered his head, and then softened a little, and said in a deep voice to Akagi.

"Akagi, I'm a little confused about this kind of attack by Crimson." But he saw that the board thoughtfully said to Chimu: "Red Fang, it's not a strategic place. Moreover, there are no weapons worth acquiring there, and attacking the Red Fang with red strength will undoubtedly cost great casualties. ”

"I can't figure out why they're doing that. I can't confirm what they think, so I can't do it easily. Otherwise, you'll just fall into the enemy's trap, understand?! ”

"Hail!! Subordinates understand! Akagi suddenly realized and bowed to his co-captain!

The board can endure temperament, and the crows can endure temperament even more. The crows in the courtyard were still silent, leaning against the wall and closing their eyes and quietly waiting for the order.

But the Japanese army in Hongfang was not so good. Although the Wehrmacht could not provide large heavy firepower, it still supported some mortars for the red! With these mortars, Liu Songshan did not have a hard time fighting the Red Fang.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......" The roar of heavy machine guns and artillery fire continued to sound in the Red Square, and Captain Noda continued to command his subordinate troops to go to the gap to withstand the red attack!

At the same time, let the artillery under his command provide fire support and return fire. Noda's brigade. It is a standard brigade of 1,100 people. It has a 174-man machine gun squadron equipped with 12 heavy machine guns, and a 122-man artillery battery equipped with 2 70mm Type 92 infantry guns!

This equipment is not powerful! Yes, at the beginning, he also had the confidence to withstand the red attack. But now this confidence is gradually being exhausted.

The red of the attack, apparently with more than ten mortars! The artillery positions were constantly shifted to attack the city, and the battle lasted only three hours, and one 70mm Type 92 infantry gun and four heavy machine guns had been reported damaged.

Although he has not been breached by the red now, in Noda's opinion, with this kind of offensive intensity, it will undoubtedly be a matter of time.

"Chief, the devil's firepower is fierce! This battle is not easy to fight......" In the red headquarters, the chief of staff said with a calm face to Liu Song: "It's only a little while, we already have two brigades that are about to be scrapped......"

Liu Songshan kept his face calm and silent. He had thought before that it would be difficult to fight. But he didn't expect the bones of the Japanese army to be so hard, and for no reason, he admired the Wehrmacht who was able to attack and force the Japanese armistice!

"We're forced to go to Liangshan!" Liu Songshan was silent for a while, and said to the chief of staff: "There's no way not to fight, Huo Heizi has already arrived in Longyan City, if we don't hold on, what's going on?!" ”

The chief of staff sighed. No more squeaks.

The telephone to the outside world in Hongfang City has been cut off, and Noda can only keep asking the telegraph department to send a report to the captain of Longyan City about his situation here.

Gradually, the board is also a little unbearable! You must know that until now, the Japanese army has not had any experience of being captured in Fujian! There has never been a single instance of a brigade being annihilated!

If this matter is broken in your own hands, it will be a real shame to throw it home! Even. Both the division commander and the garrison commander would order themselves to be disemboweled, thanking the emperor!!

"Call the division commander, I, Longyan City, received a telegram from the Red Fang Garrison Brigade! There are red troops now attacking the Red Square, and the enemy firepower is strong! The threat is very high, and the Longyan City garrison wing asked the division commander for tactical guidance......"

Still, the board was going to ask for instructions before deciding whether to attack. What he was worried about was the arms he had to guard in Longyan City, which was the supply of an entire division!

If something happens, it's worse than a caesarean section!

Not long after, a telegram from the division was received on the board: A telegram has been sent to the surrounding Yongding and Shanghang...... Wait for the county garrison to go to support, and order the wing of the Longyan garrison to immediately support the Red Fang! Make no mistake!

Seeing this telegram, the board breathed a sigh of relief! Akagi beside him said in a deep voice: "Akagi, take your brigade to support!" Remember, the Chinese troops must not be allowed to occupy the Red Square! ”

"Hail!! The subordinates will never embarrass the emperor!! Akagi shouted excitedly!
