The reason why Lanfang compromised this time was rooted in Lanfang's military production.
There is no way, before Lanfang's military production is on track, Qin Zhiyuan must try to avoid a war with the Japanese, because once a war breaks out, there will be too much uncertainty in relying on outsourcing of weapons and ammunition. Even if Qin Zhiyuan is confident of defeating the Japanese
People will not bet on Lanfang's national destiny.
Besides, taking a step back at this time may not be a bad thing.
Just after the crew of the Minnan returned to Lanfang, the story of the crew of the Minnan spread throughout Lanfang within one day.
Although the crew members have not been subjected to inhumane treatment since they were brought to Japan, the Japanese have obviously not given relevant personnel and status-matching treatment in accordance with the Geneva Agreement.
When the crew of the Minnan were brought to Japan, they were detained like prisoners. The Japanese did not give the crew enough drinking water and food. Forty-five people were crowded into a house of about 20 square meters, and even
People urinate and defecate indoors, so you can imagine how bad the living environment is.
The Japanese searched all the belongings of the crew and took away all the belongings of the crew in the crew cabin. During the subsequent inspection, the number of goods transported on the Minnan did not match the number, and there was a huge gap between the list when it left the home port.
, and the Japanese have no explanation for this.
Under the deliberate promotion of the daily news, all the reasons were attributed to the serious lag in the construction progress of the military industrial enterprises in Lanfang.
In fact, compared with the planned construction period, the current construction progress has far exceeded the plan. It took the workers nearly half a year to complete the work that normally takes nine months to complete.
This sounds almost like a miracle, because when the plan was originally formulated, engineers from France and Germany took into account the enthusiasm of the Chinese and accelerated the progress of the project by about one-fifth.
French engineers and German engineers made plans based on the work efficiency of German workers. If they were based on French workers, well, the improvement would be about one-third.
But what is unexpected is that compared with the original plan, the progress has been accelerated again, and it has been increased by half. This really impressed the engineers from France and Germany.
Even though the progress is already very fast, the simple workers do not think so. They believe that it is precisely because they have not done enough and fast enough that they have led to this speechless result.
If they could build the factory in time and start producing weapons and ammunition now, then the crew of the Minnan would not be so aggrieved, and the Lanfang government would not be so compromised.
Shendian is located in the westernmost part of Wanghai Prefecture. It has a port with superior hydrological conditions and is very close to Annan, the current steel production base of Lanfang. At the same time, Shendian has complex terrain, with the eastern mountainous area having high mountains and dense forests.
With unique geographical conditions, Shendian has become the largest industrial city in the north of Lanfang.
According to the planning of the Lanfang Military Headquarters, Lanfang's small arms industry gathering place is Shendian. It is not only convenient for the input of raw materials, but also transshipped in all directions. It also has unique geographical advantages. For various reasons, Shendian
Dian became the top priority of Lanfang's military industry.
In the mountainous area to the east of Shundian, in a natural grand canyon, there is a winding road on the mountainside. This road connects six arsenals along the way and becomes the cradle of small arms in Shundian.
Therefore, this grand canyon is named Wanggu Valley. Wangshan is a simple sight on an ancient crossbow machine. It has a strong military color. At the same time, the symbolic meaning of Wanggu Valley is also very good. It means looking at the height of this mountain, which symbolizes
Lanfang Military Industry has an enterprising spirit that is never satisfied and strives to move forward.
Factory 104 in Wanggu Valley is the largest arsenal in Lanfang. There are currently more than 5,000 workers working diligently here to build the arsenal as soon as possible and contribute to Lanfang's national defense.
According to the original plan, the first-phase project of Factory 104 is planned to last one year. During this year, Factory 104 will complete the construction of the first-phase factory building and install nearly 2,000 machines in order to start production.
In the past six months, more than half of the construction plan for Factory 104 has been completed. If nothing goes wrong, Factory 104 will be officially put into production in another three months at most.
In the evening, after a day's work, factory director Tang Zhengyang, deputy director Ning Gaofei and chief engineer Jeffrey Defoe habitually held a small meeting to summarize today's work and prepare for tomorrow's work.
Tomorrow I plan to arrange for the machines to come in, install them first, and then cap the factory building. Ning Gaofei, who was eating a bowl of rice, suddenly raised his head and said.
The food in Factory 104 is very good. The staple food is rice, and the side dishes are dried salted fish, eggplant and potatoes. After the meal, there are also fruits such as banana, coconut, durian and so on.
Well, Lanfang is located in a tropical area, and there are indeed many kinds of fruits. If the workers don't want to eat rice, they can just eat fruits.
Of course, if you just eat the fruit until you are full, you won’t be able to bear the hunger when you start working.
No, no, no, that is an illegal operation. No one has ever done that, and it might lead to serious consequences. Jeffrey DeFoe clearly opposed it.
Jeffrey Defoe was a German before he came to Lanfang. He had 30 years of working experience in the Krupp factory. Long Chengxuan brought Jeffrey Defoe from Germany to Lanfang with a work contract.
After coming to Lanfang, Jeffrey Defoe became a Lanfang citizen without thinking for long, and then also got the opportunity to enter Factory 104.
If he does not become a Lanfang citizen, even if he has 50 years of work experience, Jeffrey Defoe will not be able to enter the Hope Valley.
As a chief engineer from Germany, Jeffrey Defoe is opposed to all violations, because it means that there will be unexpected situations, and Jeffrey Defoe does not like any accidents. Jeffrey Defoe always likes to follow the rules.
In his work, the two qualities of German rigor and precision are vividly demonstrated by Jeffrey DeFoe.
I have tried it before. If we let the machine enter the site first and debug the machine while capping it, we can further increase the work speed. If we all do this, then maybe we can complete the first phase of Factory 104 before Mr. Qin takes the throne.
Engineering. Ning Gaofei explained a little hastily, and rolled his eyes a little when he was choked.
Ning Gaofei, Tang Zhengyang and Jeffrey Defoe have been getting along with each other for half a year. Their communication initially relied on translators, but now they no longer use them. Ning Gaofei and Tang Zhengyang have learned some German, and Jeffrey Defoe has learned some Chinese.
, just speaking in Chinese and German, it is really incredible that we can understand each other's meaning.
Is this okay? Tang Zhengyang sent the water cup in time, feeling a little unsure.
After the Minnan incident, all Lanfang people felt shame. As the saying goes, only after knowing shame can one be brave. All Lanfang people felt that there was a fire in their hearts. They were eager to vent it out and work harder to achieve success.
The best way to vent.
Of course Tang Zhengyang also wants to speed up the work progress, but as the factory director who coordinates the overall situation, Tang Zhengyang is not as proficient in specific matters as Ning Gaofei. However, Tang Zhengyang has always respected Ning Gaofei's opinions, not just because Ning Gaofei was favored by Lan Fang.
Industry Minister Zhang Tianyun valued him also because Ning Gaofei obtained a senior engineer certificate at the Renault factory in France.
If there really is such a certificate, with this certificate, Ning Gaofei can apply for a job in any factory around the world, and he will definitely be treated like a guest.
Tang Zhengyang had never been to France, but Tang Zhengyang had worked in the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau of the Republic of China all his life. He was considered a master craftsman and had some knowledge of administrative management. This was very rare, so he was appointed as the director of Factory 104.
Well, this factory director is still the acting director now, but if there are no accidents, the post of factory director will definitely belong to Tang Zhengyang in the future.
OK, I tried it. Ning Gaofei is very sure.
Ning, when did you try it? Why didn’t I know that Jeffrey Defoe was dissatisfied and slammed his job on the table?
Although Ning Gaofei is the deputy director in charge of production, Jeffrey Defoe is the chief engineer responsible for all technical aspects. Jeffrey Defoe definitely has reason to express his dissatisfaction.
Last month, when you went back to Coconut City to visit relatives, you were not in the factory. Ning Gaofei also had good reasons.
Is it really a nonsense program that can be easily changed? Jeffrey Defoe was furious, not only because of Ning Gaofei's unauthorized decision, but also because Ning Gaofei did not report to him in time afterwards.
I remember that you praised Ning Gaofei and didn't say much, but the meaning behind his words could choke people to death.
Jeffrey Defoe really had nothing to say.
After Jeffrey Defoe returned from visiting relatives, Ning Gaofei did report to Jeffrey Defoe, but he did not explain that it was only because Ning Gaofei changed the operating procedures that the project progress could be completed ahead of schedule.
Poor Jeffrey Defoe thought he had achieved results according to his own regulations, and he praised Ning Gaofei and the workers.
Looking back on that scene now, Jeffrey Defoe felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
Okay, I've finished eating. I and the people from Team 1 and Team 2 have to work overtime tonight to complete the entry of the machine before dawn. If it can't be completed, I can issue a military order to Ning Gaofei to not leave himself a way out.
If you want to try, just try. If you can succeed, of course it will be a good thing. How about a military order? Tang Zhengyang started to make peace with him. This was part of Tang Zhengyang's job as the factory director.
You can work overtime, but don't expect me to count it in your attendance. Jeffrey Defoe is not prepared to resist, but is prepared to express dissatisfaction in his own way.
No, we are obliged to work overtime without any reward. After Ning Gaofei said that, he turned around and left.
Let's go and have a look. Tang Zhengyang couldn't sit still, so he pulled Jeffrey Defoe and followed Ning Gaofei out the door.
The factory, which has roughly taken shape, is brightly lit. Currently, the lighting is powered by generators. The power is not stable, and power outages occur from time to time. On the Daliang River two kilometers away from Wang Valley, two hydroelectric power stations are also installed.
Work is being done day and night, and these hydroelectric power stations will provide enough electricity for the Wang Valley in the future.
In front of the half-completed factory, one or two thousand workers are waiting. Several giant banners are hung high in the open space next to it. The words on them are "Don't forget the national humiliation, march forward bravely and work hard for 30 days, and I will build the 104th factory."
Slogans such as "I Blood Guard Lanfang".
Come on, I won’t sleep either. Let’s all do it together and Tang Zhengyang’s blood will immediately boil.
