As for the remaining part of the legal steel helmets, in addition to some of them as reserves, they are equipped with local units that stayed in the North Manchurian base area at the end of 43 after the main force of the Anti-Japanese Union moved south, as well as armed public security forces formed by the troops originally assigned to the Ministry of Security to serve as internal guards, suppress bandits, protect large factories and key parts of communication lines, and local government guards.

Yang Zhen adopted various means to exchange these weapons and equipment, especially tanks and large-caliber howitzers, although the performance is not the best. However, the sufficient quantity ensured that due to a series of reasons such as technology and raw materials, as well as Yang Zhen's special ideas and arrangements, the main military production was arranged on aircraft and ZLS three cannons, and the output of heavy weapons was always insufficient.

In addition to airplanes and automobiles, the efficiency of ground weapons assistance is slow, and it cannot even catch up with the British and Canadians. The number and performance of weapons have always failed to meet the standards of the Anti-United Nations, which has ensured the upgrading of the troops' equipment and the expansion of the troops, especially the need to form a large number of armored units.

The most fundamental guarantee is that the troops, especially the armored forces and artillery units, can ensure the quality advantage in the face of the equipment superiority that is also gradually demonstrated by the Anti-Japanese Union, and when the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in North China have always maintained rapid equipment renewal and began to form tank divisions on a large scale.

The Anti-Japanese Federation's own military production has never been able to meet the requirements of the expansion and rearmament of the troops. In fact, it is not only the reasons for raw materials, processes and technologies, but also some special reasons. In particular, the idea of Yang Zhen, the second secretary of the Northeast Bureau in charge of military and industry, also occupies a large reason.

Yang Zhen made such a big move, trying his best to get the best Soviet-made tanks and artillery, as well as the production technology and drawings of the American and Soviet combat aircraft. And when it is under construction, it can be said that we will strive to build a large-scale factory in the shortest possible time at any cost.

In addition to satisfying the needs of some of the troops in the war against Japan, the most important reason in the final analysis was to establish their own automobile, artillery, tank, and aircraft industries. But he also knows that the meal must be eaten in one bite, and the road must be walked step by step. Factories can be built in a short time, but the production skills of workers are not achieved overnight.

The reason why the Western powers were able to produce an astonishing amount of weapons and equipment quickly and mass-produced after mobilization in wartime. It is because of the accumulation of hundreds of years since the Industrial Revolution, and the fact that they already have a considerable industrial base.

In particular, a strong industrial base has brought in a considerable number of skilled industrial workers. In particular, the number of skilled workers and their professional abilities are excellent. As long as the necessary equipment is available, a huge production capacity can be formed in a short time.

But not only the Anti-Japanese Union, but even the whole of China does not have this condition. China, which was still an agrarian society, had some of its own light industry, but it lacked a large number of skilled workers. There is no automobile industry, no aviation industry, no mechanical equipment manufacturing industry, which can quickly switch to the production of tanks on its own. As a result, there is an extreme shortage of workers who have really mastered modern production technology, especially skilled workers with a certain level of operation.

Isn't it a big joke that you make a textile worker who can only fiddle with a loom a worker who makes airplanes and tanks all at once? Let a worker who produces such a simple industrial product as matches, but make a car, can he build it? Light industry is completely different from heavy industry, especially the mechanical industry.

The machinery industry is the foundation of the equipment manufacturing industry, especially heavy weapons and equipment. Without a mature machinery industry and a large number of corresponding skilled workers, even if there are factories and corresponding equipment, they will not be able to produce the weapons and equipment they need. Although the Anti-Union has established a large number of factories, there are not many skilled workers who can be found.

Even the needs of workers, both qualitatively and quantitatively, are far from being met. In the entire Beiman base area, the number of welders who can weld in 42 years is not as good as the number owned by General Motors in the United States. Among them, there are even more senior welders than in a manufacturing plant. The number of fitters and riveters needed to build airplanes and engines was even more scarce.

Northeast China is indeed the largest industrial base in China, and after being occupied by the Japanese, the Japanese also invested heavily in Northeast China and built a large number of heavy industry systems. It can even be said that a large part of the artillery and light weapons used by the Japanese Army in World War II, as well as ammunition, were produced and manufactured in Tohoku.

But these workers were all in South Manchuria, which was tightly controlled by the Kwantung Army, as well as in the Kwantung Prefecture. North Manchuria, which relies on the building materials, textile, wood processing and food industries, has trained workers who are far from meeting their needs. And the thin population base cannot provide too many workers with a certain level of education who can be formed in a short period of time.

In this case, after Yang Zhen stated that he was not very involved in local industrial construction. However, the central authorities explicitly refused to say anything, and in addition to being in charge of operations and military affairs, he was appointed as the second secretary of the Northeast Bureau, and he was also directly added a clause in charge of industry, science and technology, and foreign negotiations. And externally, whether it is local or military, Yang Zhen is in charge.

I was going to take a break from local work, but I didn't expect it to backfire. Instead of lightening his own burden, he was an act of ultra vires before, but was determined by the central government. After repeated requests were rejected by the central government, and even the vice chairman personally came to the northeast to do work, he had no choice but to accept Yang Zhen, who was appointed by the central government.

When planning for the development of the entire North Manchurian industry, a detailed, and even somewhat verbose, long-term annual target plan was formulated according to the year. The goal of the 42 years is very simple, that is, to carry out trial production of tanks, airplanes, artillery, and automobiles, to first master and familiarize themselves with production technology, and to train workers to the greatest extent.

The real mass production, he set it for four or three years. Strict regulations are also made regarding production and quality standards. Yang Zhen definitely didn't want to affect the quality of weapons and equipment for the sake of vain output. There were considerable problems with the quality of the anti-aircraft guns produced in 41 years, and the incident of an excessively high repair rate brought him a profound lesson and a great impact.

He wants weapons and equipment that really meet the standards of actual combat performance and quality, not those products that cannot be used on the battlefield and are frequently returned to the factory for maintenance because of their own quality problems. However, the financial resources of the Northeast Base Area are still quite weak, and they cannot afford to have a large number of scrapped products due to substandard quality.

In the early stage of economic construction, why did the new China put the main military industrial bases in Northeast China, Taiyuan, and Chongqing, and the main civilian industries in Shanghai and Northeast China? It is because of these places that the industrial base was the strongest in the Republic of China, and there were originally some relatively good foundations, and the number of industrial workers was also the largest, and the speed of production was relatively fast.

In fact, when New China built and developed its own industry in later generations, a large part of it was built on the basis of factories built by the Japanese in Northeast China. For example, the Shenyang Aircraft Factory, the Aero Engine Factory, a large number of machinery manufacturing enterprises, the petrochemical industry and aluminum smelting in Fushun, the locomotive manufacturing and shipbuilding industry in Dalian, and the iron and steel industry in Anshan and Benxi were all built on the basis of related industries established by the Japanese.

In Guannei Taiyuan and Chongqing, it is also because Taiyuan laid a fairly strong industrial foundation during the period of Yan Xishan. In particular, the foundation of the military industry is extremely strong. Chongqing, on the other hand, was the main military production base of the Nationalist Government during the Anti-Japanese War, and it also had a strong foundation of related workers.

Even the equipment was dismantled by the Soviets or the Nationalist government, and even the arsenal and even the factory buildings in Chongqing were blown up by the retreating Nationalist government. But you can't take away those industrial workers who have mastered production skills, and you can't blow them up. The equipment can be bought and rebuilt if it is dismantled, but if the workers are gone, that is the biggest loss.

As Yang Zhen later generations knew, the reason why the four Soviet Pride-class destroyers purchased by the New Chinese Navy at a high price were named Changchun, Fushun, Anshan, and Taiyuan was because of the heavy expectations and high hopes for these locations that embody the essence of almost the entire Chinese heavy industry.

It is precisely because of the large number of skilled workers left behind in these places that the new China of later generations placed the main industrial bases in these areas. And in the shortest possible time, the preparation for mass production has been completed, and its own corresponding industrial manufacturing capacity has been formed.

However, in the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the foundation that can be used is not as good as that at the beginning of the establishment of New China in later generations. The current Shenyang, Changchun, Fushun, Anshan, Benxi, Shanghai, and Taiyuan are all under the strict control of the Japanese army. Now Chongqing is the capital of the Nationalist Government and the main arms industry base.

These places, especially the industrial base in South Manchuria, were the main operational targets of the Anti-Japanese Union. But it is not the main goal of the current war, and it is not known that it will be the goal that can only be achieved in that year in the places where almost most of the workers in China who have mastered the production skills are gathered. Counting on these can only be far away from water that can't quench the thirst of the near.

The situation that the Anti-Japanese Federation is facing now is that the foundation is thinner than when New China was established in later generations, and the stalls are also larger. But there is no way to allow the Anti-Union to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce construction costs as much as possible, only in the short period of a few years between now and the first half of the fourth or fifth year.

After this village, there is no such shop. After a few years, if you want to build an industry of a similar size, you don't know how much you will have to pay. Time is running out, and if you spend a little time, you won't be able to achieve your goals. If you work hard for a few years now, you will pay a lot less in the future.

Therefore, Yang Zhen can only spread the stall as much as possible, and make use of this time as much as possible to put on more projects. While building on horseback, they also trained their own workers. And you can't follow the step-by-step, little by little. Otherwise, when all the workers are trained and large-scale construction is being carried out, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold to the end.

In Yang Zhen's words, he can't even eat in time to go up according to the steps. Although this sentence is a little too rough, it is not rough. Even the vice chairman, who has come to the northeast the most among the central leaders, was taken aback, criticizing him for making a big deal and making it difficult to come up with a half-pulled project. It is not engaged in industrial construction, but is engaged in reckless progress.

The new chairman, who succeeded Li Yanlu as chairman of the Northeast People's Government and presided over the comprehensive industrial and economic construction of Northeast China, was also given a bit of a head by the large-scale industries that had been run by the Anti-Japanese Federation after the inspection. Although he had a certain understanding before coming to the Northeast, he did not expect that the scale would be so large.
