Chapter 293 Chapter 293
While Tang Mo was talking to Wes, Harry walked over with a stack of documents under his arm. The waiter saw him waving gently, so he walked away holding the tray.

Wes fiddled with the Thompson submachine gun, and suddenly felt a little fond of putting it down-submachine guns are also fun, aren't they?

Harry glanced at Wes, who was aiming the gun there, then put down the gun to play with it, ignored him, and directly reported to Tang Mo: "The dockyard has confirmed it."

"En." Tang Mo signaled the other party to continue talking.

Harry gave a bad news: "We won't be able to build ships faster in the short term, because the production capacity of steel can't keep up."

"We have built 2 warships and 4 transport ships at the same time on Long Island, which have taken up all the docks." He took out a document from the documents he was holding, handed it to Tang Mo, and said .

Then, he pulled out a second card and handed it out: "The five large shipyards in Bunas are all producing wolf-class cruisers, and the remaining four shipyards are all producing transport ships..."

Tang Mo took the first report first, and when he saw the explanation on it, there was no sign of calming his anger on his expression.He is just browsing the above content to understand the relevant problems.

As a matter of fact, Datang Group's shipbuilding system was already running at full capacity - Tang Mo built 15 steel ships in one go, including 8 transport ships and 7 warships.

These giant steel ships did take up a lot of steel, and at the same time exhausted Tang Mo's shipbuilders.

Most of the shipbuilders actually only had experience in building sailboats, and they were forced to be put on the shelves and trained as shipbuilders.

In fact, Datang Group still has a large shipyard producing sailboats. This shipyard in Osa was originally used to manufacture sailing warships, but now it has been transformed into a shipyard producing civilian sailboats.

Now only large-tonnage transport ships are produced here, and most of them are oil tankers specialized in transporting oil. There are a large number of wooden barrels in the hull, which can transport hundreds of tons of crude oil at a time.

Even so, the sea transportation capacity is actually still insufficient. Tang Mo needs a large number of ships, an innumerable fleet, to supplement his Dragon Island and Bunas with production materials.

"That is to say, we have 15 steam-powered ships being produced at the same time, and the steel consumption has already reached tens of thousands of tons... It is indeed a bit too much." Tang Mo took it from Harry's hand while thinking. Rubbing the space between his brows for the second document, he continued to read.

If these warships and transport ships are launched, the sea power of the Datang Group can indeed soar to an unprecedented height.

Moreover, when the five Wolf-class warships were launched, he was sure to sell all the Burnas-class warships in his hand-obviously, this could make him heal a lot of blood.

You must know that steel battleships are a new item now, and any maritime power will covet this weapon, as long as there is a possibility to purchase it, they don't care how much it costs.

Harry reminded Tang Mo with some concern: "At the same time, we are still producing a large number of rails. Many factories, including Northridge, are producing rails at full capacity. We are laying a 300-kilometer-long railroad. It's the limit of what we can do."

After enjoying the sweetness of railway transportation, whether it is the Wright Kingdom or the Datang Group, they are all working hard to expand the number of railway kilometers.

This is almost the general trend, so Harry has nothing to do.But this kind of infrastructure project does consume a lot of steel, so it does affect the material reserves of Datang Group.

While speaking, Harry handed Tang Mo another report: "In addition, we are still supplying several battlefields, providing them with shells, bullets, rifles and other weapons...Frankly speaking, the scale of the war ranges from It wasn't as big as it is today."

Tang Mo didn't speak, took the report, and held it in his hand after a few glances: "What do you think?"

He was the school's own student—Harry was his favorite student, and he was planning to replace Roger in foreign affairs.

Of course, Tang Mo was going to hand over the internal affairs, or Roger's secretary job, to You Lin to manage - just wait for Her Majesty the Queen to successfully obtain the graduation certificate from the Military Academy.

Harry was not stage-frightened, and directly answered Tang Mo's question: "Our weapons are very advanced, so the speed of killing is also unprecedented. Under such circumstances, the losses of the troops have skyrocketed."

Obviously, he has done a lot of work. This young man who is also at the top of the academy is by no means mediocre: "In order for the troops to withstand huge losses, the size of the troops must be larger than before... This is something that cannot be helped.”

He told Tang Mo the answer he came up with: "In the past two years, wars involving more than tens of thousands of troops have been considered large-scale wars. Cyric planned the war in Northridge and planned it in advance. for almost a year.”

Seeing that Tang Mo had no intention of opening his mouth, he continued, "But now, gathering more than 3 troops is just a basic requirement for a simple battle, and it seems that a few thousand troops cannot meet the strategic needs at all. "

"Of course, except for our security force, because our security force equipment is ahead of the times, so our troops don't have to worry about similar problems at all." After he finished speaking, he stopped, as if waiting for Tang Mo's evaluation.

Tang Mo rolled the document in his hand into a cylinder, and ordered without raising his head, "The analysis is very good, keep talking!"

"But although we don't have to worry about it, other countries have such troubles. Their troops are lost too quickly in front of new weapons, so that they have to mobilize more troops to participate in the war." After a little thought, Harry Continue to speak.

"The Battle of Dorn, the two sides participated in the battle with more than 10 troops. According to the scale of the past, this is already a war of destroying the country." He used the just-concluded Battle of Dorn as an example, and said very specifically: "And now, this battle After the end, the two sides actually still have the strength to continue the war... Bolton just sent back the news that the Hellen Kingdom has been annihilated by another 2 people, and it still has not surrendered."

"Go and call Matthews and Parker!" Tang Mo thought for a few seconds, then ordered loudly to the waiter who was guarding in the distance.

Watching the waiter leave, Tang Mo turned his head to look at Harry again, and said, "I know your opinion, I want to hear the opinion of the production department, and then make arrangements."

Soon, Matthews and Parker hurried over from the factory.

As soon as we met, Parker first talked about the excellent results that Datang Group has achieved in the past month or so: "We have made some progress in the total power generation, and there is still a surplus in the current power generation, which can support us. Continue to work on metal coatings."

The head of the production department has grown a lot in the past year, because in the past he was not so fluent in presenting happy events and reporting to Tang Mo in front.

Before, he always said bad things first... However, he obviously began to realize that sometimes, the order of reporting is actually very meaningful.

It cannot be said that such a change is not good, after all, Tang Mo knows that people will always grow—whether it is becoming mature or getting old, he will eventually grow...

"In addition, we have also been experimenting with the technology of electrolytic aluminum. In fact, we have obtained some aluminum metal..." Matthews also talked about the experimental project he was very interested in recently.

Both electroplating and electrolytic aluminum are major projects that Tang Mo's factory is currently researching. Once successful, with new materials and a new electroplating process, the quality of Datang Group's parts will be raised to a whole new level.

Seeing that Tang Mo was silent, Parker hurriedly talked about sending personnel to the Frozen Kingdom: "I have ordered 300 people to go to the Frozen Kingdom of the dwarves to develop and operate copper and gold mines, as well as oil fields, etc. And other industries. However, for us, the mining of minerals there is far from quenching our thirst, and it will not be able to alleviate our material shortage crisis for a while."

Then he said another piece of information that Tang Mo already knew: "King Wright VII has ordered iron ore to be listed as a temporarily untradable strategic material, which can make up for some of our losses to a certain extent."

After talking about a lot of good news and some not-so-bad news, Parker finally plucked up the courage to talk about his opinion: "If you let me say, we should suspend some unnecessary production, such as automobile production. On the one hand... we can now produce more than 6000 Model T cars a year, which is really unnecessary."

It seems that, like Harry, he also hopes that Tang Mo can suspend the production of some products and concentrate on expanding the scale of just-needed production: "If we don't produce so many cars, we don't need such a large production capacity for oil refining. Now... this part of the production capacity can also be transferred to the production of weapons."

After finishing speaking, he fell silent, as if he was waiting for Tang Mo to speak, and he seemed to be waiting for others to agree.

Soon, Matthews also spoke, and it seemed that he also agreed with Parker and Harry: "At least, 3000 workers can be saved, which is not a small amount, and we can also save the steel consumed by automobile production. ..."

"I understand what you said, but if we suspend the production of cars, the existing capacity will be reduced a little bit, and we will still fall into a passive position, letting the lagging capacity restrict our next expansion." After listening to opinions After that, Tang Mo thought about it for 1 minute, and then he put forward his own opinion: "But now, whoever retreats first may slow down the development speed and lose future victories!"

The second is later, everyone can watch it tomorrow morning.
