By seizing it from the Russians, the speed of progress in Fengjun's industrial capacity was absolutely astonishing, and even the always mild-mannered Fan Xudong became a complete militant, in fact, not only him, but the entire industrial circles of the three eastern provinces were alarmed.

After the original Dagu shipyard was moved to Huludao, it was officially renamed the shipyard of the three eastern provinces, and the person in charge Wu Yulin had already begun to produce ships, but the lack of machinery has always been his biggest problem.

Hailan Pao belongs to the confluence of the main and tributaries of the Heilongjiang River, the river surface and wide, the Russians tried to build a ship repair station here, a small half of the machine has been installed, and the rest is piled up in the warehouse next to the river, Wu Yulin took a fancy to it at once, and hurriedly asked Zhang Tinglan to prepare to move them all.

"Director Wu, there is no problem at all in moving back, but I want you to make a military order."

"Commander-in-chief, if you have an order, just say it, and we will work hard to complete the task."

"Good!" Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile, and then said: "You are also familiar with the situation of Hailan Bubble, although we control here, the Russians will definitely fight back, especially after the river thaws, ships can be passed here, we urgently need a batch of shallow water gunboats and inland river transport ships, can you see if we can produce them?" ”

As soon as Wu Yulin heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he also lowered his head and thought for a while, it is said that the strength of the original Dagu Factory took over this character, and there was no problem at all, this is the lack of machines now, and the workers are also a little handy, and it is a little difficult to recover quickly. In particular, Zhang Tinglan was still in a hurry, and he had to send it over when Heilongjiang thawed, and Wu Yulin had to carefully weigh his ability.

"Commander-in-Chief, if you want to build these two kinds of ships, let alone a dozen. And it has to be very fast, and it will definitely not be possible to rely on the existing capabilities alone. I have a proposal, we can place an order with the Jiangnan Shipyard and let them assist in production, and it is better to recruit a little more talent from the Jiangnan Shipyard, so that our production can be faster. ”

Wu Yulin's proposal made Zhang Tinglan's eyes shine, this is indeed a way, in Zhang Tinglan's impression, Jiangnan Shipyard in 1918 for the United States to produce four 10,000-ton giant ships, although the power, materials, design and so on are from the United States. The Chinese workers have only built a hull. But this is also very telling, the Jiangnan plant still has some strength, if the shipbuilding capacity of the Jiangnan plant can be integrated, it will also be a boost for Fengjun.

"Director Wu. In this case, you can place an order with the Jiangnan factory, and it is best to engage in a joint production. Invite their professionals to Mukden. Collaborate with us on the design. ”

Zhang Tinglan took the proposal one step further, and Wu Yulin listened to it and laughed secretly: "Commander-in-chief, after you get these people to Fengtian, are you not going to return them to Jiangnan Factory?" ”

"Talent is like water, come and go freely, everything depends on whether people are willing or not. And with the plane tree, in order to attract the phoenix, everything depends on the means of Director Wu! ”

"Don't worry, commander-in-chief, I will definitely find a way to invite these people over. And then stay! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yulin thought for a while and said: "Commander-in-chief, over the years, the Jiangnan Factory and the Dagu Factory have been similar, dismal operations, and the food is the old capital of the Qing Dynasty, producing some civilian ships, small warships are okay, big ships will definitely not work, especially the power system, we have no supporting large factories at all, we can't produce steam turbines, and we can't produce large-caliber artillery, without these things, we can't build big warships, and these things will not be easily sold to us by the powers." ”

Zhang Tinglan is also well aware of the difficulties of building large warships, this is definitely not an overnight thing, Zhang Tinglan closed his eyes and thought about it, and then said: "Director Wu, these difficulties are not impossible to overcome, we have begun to imitate large-caliber artillery, naval artillery will also step up the development, as for the rest, it is not without opportunities, take the Far East as an example, Vladivostok has a good shipbuilding capacity, if we can get the shipyard in Vladivostok, our shipyard can definitely become the first in the country." ”

In fact, the Russians initially invested heavily in Port Arthur, built a large shipyard, hoping to use Arthur as Russia's most ice-free port and a fortress in the Far East, but unfortunately, Arthur fell into the hands of the Japanese, and all the investment of the Russians was wasted.

After that, the Russians had to focus their investments on Vladivostok, expand the shipyard, and maintain the Liliang of the Far Eastern Fleet, although the Far Eastern shipyard is currently in financial difficulties, but the foundation is still there, and the equipment is still very good, all imported from Britain and France, which is much stronger than the Japanese, after all, everyone is white and takes great care of each other.

When Zhang Tinglan decided to send troops to the Far East, he set his sights on this factory, hoping to get it for a long time. After Wu Yulin heard Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, his eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, no matter what, you must find a way to get your hands on this factory, our shipbuilding industry is pointing to this factory." ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "I must find a way to get it as fast as possible, and as for the problem of power, there is still a chance in front of me!" ”

Wu Yulin had already been moved by Zhang Tinglan's handwriting, and hurriedly listened to see what tricks the commander-in-chief had.

"The war in Europe is coming to an end, the Germans have shown their defeat, they can't last long, after the defeat of Germany, their military industry will be strictly restricted, Germany can build the most haode warships on shijie, as well as the most powerful submarines, and the supporting factories are also shijie top, I have arranged funds, as long as Germany is finished, we will immediately take the bottom, no matter how much it costs, we will get back the industrial equipment we urgently need!"

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Wu Yulin only felt that his blood began to boil, with such a far-sighted figure, the future of the shipyard is definitely bright, if it can really be as expected, get the Far East shipyard in hand, and then get the key jishu and equipment from Germany.

Not to mention surface ships, even submarines can build ships, and at that time, the opponents of the shipyards in the three eastern provinces will not be those old factories in China, and there will be only one real opponent, that is, the shipyards of small Japan, and the Feng army will produce a fleet that can fight the Japanese!

"Commander-in-chief, with your planning, the shipyard will definitely usher in unprecedented development, I will understand now to go back, start production, and then go to Jiangnan Mawei and other shipyards to tap talents!"

Wu Yulin was full of enthusiasm and left in a hurry, in the factory of Hailan Pao, there is also a relatively large weapons maintenance factory, which can produce a full set of Russian-made light equipment, this factory Zhang Tinglan did not move back, but transferred some management personnel from the Jilin Arsenal to let the maintenance plant operate again.

Zhang Tinglan is already preparing to build Hailan Pao into a fulcrum in the Far East, and it is also necessary to support the needs of the army and retain a certain amount of arms production capacity. However, Zhang Tinglan did not believe these Russians, and their original Russian technicians were all sent to Jilin to serve in the three eastern provinces. Hailanpao's factory is all in charge of Fengjun's Jishu personnel, and they can make Zhang Tinglan feel more at ease.

After half a month of disposal, all the industrial liliang of Hailan Pao was swept away by the Feng army, and all kinds of professionals were poached, and all the remaining people were just a group of Russian people, who had no other role except for contributing a little strength.

Zhang Tinglan was also unceremonious, he had already imprisoned them in concentration camps in batches, and those Chinese laborers in Hailan had also undergone simple training, and they had become ordinary militiamen, and their main task was to supervise the labor of these Russians.

Just on the edge of the Heilongjiang River, more than 2,000 Russian laborers were desperately digging the frozen land with various tools, and the frozen soil was quite hard, and when a spade went down, only a white mark could be seen, and it could not be dug at all.

But these militiamen who take care of Russia will not have any politeness, as long as they see who is lazy, they will immediately be whipped, and these militias from labor backgrounds have no politeness.

"Don't think that Lao Tzu is cruel to you, these are all self-inflicted, our Chinese workers in the Far East, which one of them does not work like this, not only beating and scolding, but also wearing handcuffs and leg irons, how many people have been beaten to death by exhaustion! So, don't feel wronged, this is retribution! ”

The guard gave another whip, and an old Russian fell to the ground, motionless as if dead.

Two militiamen came over to check on it, and found that the old guy still had a little breath, but he couldn't move anything. A sneer appeared at the corner of the mouth of the person in charge of care: "What are you still doing, how the Russians treat us, we will treat them, don't you know?" ”

The two militiamen nodded, dragged the old guy to the edge of the woods on the side, dropped him on a tree, and then ripped off his clothes, and let the cold wind blow, the old guy kept screaming, and gradually his voice became lower and lower, and Zuihou was simply frozen to death.

The working Russians also saw this scene, their hearts were ruthless, angry, but more numb, everyone could only wave their arms mechanically, as long as they did not die, they would hold on.

"Commander-in-chief, according to your orders, we are stepping up the construction of permanent fortifications around Hailanpao and other places, and along the Heilongjiang River, a total of unseated forts have been built on both sides of the strait, forming a situation of dogs and teeth, as long as the enemy's warships dare to attack, they will be sunk in the river."

Li Jinglin, who was in charge of supervising the work, reported to Zhang Tinglan: "At this time, it was freezing and snowy, and such a large-scale construction of the fort was to fill in the lives of the Russians. ”

"What? Can't bear it? ”

"Of course not, I think it's too cheap for the Russians to let them die in vain!" (To be continued......)
