The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Seeing Zhang Yunfei in the office, Fangzheng said respectfully: "Commander-in-Chief, this is the construction plan of Baotou Iron and Steel Plant. I have organized experts and technicians in smelting and civil construction in our base area. After repeated demonstrations, this is a preliminary rough plan. Commander-in-Chief, please take a look at the plan first."

Today, the general plan that Fangzheng sent was very simple, only a dozen or so pages thin. Fangzheng meant to show Zhang Yunfei the preliminary general plan first, and then come up with a detailed plan after seeking Zhang Yunfei's opinion.

To be honest, Fangzheng still has a lot of doubts in his mind, and he wants to take advantage of today's opportunity to ask Zhang Yunfei for advice. Perhaps Fangzheng can come up with a detailed plan only when all the doubts in Fangzheng's mind are eliminated.

Zhang Yunfei took Fangzheng's plan and looked at it roughly. Although it was a rough plan, a bit like an outline, some important issues and issues were still mentioned. Within a few days, Zhang Yunfei was quite satisfied with such a relatively comprehensive general plan.

After reading it, Zhang Yunfei nodded in satisfaction and said: "Old Fang, I basically agree with this plan, and you can improve it according to this plan, but there are two points I want to explain. [

The first is to ensure the progress of the project. I think we can transfer 3 to [-] prisoners from the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers to Baotou to participate in the construction of the Baotou Iron and Steel Plant.

The second point is to establish a steel research institute in Baotou to organize the metallurgical experts and technicians in our base.Everyone concentrate.Provide technical support for Baotou Iron and Steel Plant. "

Zhang Yunfei established Baotou Iron and Steel Works with the purpose of refining high-quality steel instead of some crude steel, so it is necessary to concentrate specialized technical force.The current Datong base area, after nearly two years of development, has gathered various talents. William's talent company has collected a large number of talents in various fields, so there is no shortage of talents in steel smelting.

Secondly, the steel factory in Xin'an County.It has been put into operation for almost two years. It not only produces a large amount of high-quality steel, but also accumulates a lot of experience in steel smelting and production.

Because of this, Zhang Yunfei dared to start such a big steel factory.With the large amount of iron ore in Baiyun Obo, the strong technical strength of the base, and the participation of [-] to [-] free laborers from the devils, Zhang Yunfei believes that the steel plant in Baotou will be successfully completed and put into operation.

Comrade Fangzheng next to him saw that Zhang Yunfei was quite satisfied with his plan after reading it. Fangzheng also felt very happy in his heart, thinking in his heart that the hard work of the past few days was finally not in vain.

Fangzheng saw that Zhang Yunfei's evaluation of the plan he sent was not bad.Zhang Yunfei was also in a good mood, so Fangzheng took the opportunity to say: "Commander-in-Chief, I have always had a question. Why did we choose Baotou as the site for such a large steel plant? There is not enough iron ore there."

Fangzheng's worry is completely correct. The current Baiyun Obo Iron Mine has not been paid attention to and exploited, so even Fangzheng is full of doubts in his heart, and has been worried about this iron ore issue.

heard the words.Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Old Fang, the iron ore problem will be resolved soon. Do you know Baiyun Obo in the north of Baotou? I heard some Mongolians say that there are a lot of iron ore there, so I checked some information. As early as more than ten years ago, the Sino-Swiss Northwest Scientific Expedition Group discovered the iron mine of Baiyun Obo. But it has not attracted people's attention. I think it is a huge iron mine, and our Baotou Iron and Steel Plant is transported from there. Come to iron ore to make steel."

"Really?" Fang Zheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard that there are a lot of iron ore in Bayan Obo.

Seeing Fangzheng's surprised expression, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was sure, Fangzheng felt admiration in his heart. Fangzheng thought to himself, the commander-in-chief also knew about the large amount of iron ore in Baiyun Obo, it was amazing.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei is not as magical as Fangzheng thought. Zhang Yunfei only knew that there was a big iron mine there and a big steel factory in Baotou based on his later memories. Besides, Zhang Yunfei still vaguely remembered that in 1927, A geologist named Ding Daoheng discovered this iron ore, but the forecast of the stock at that time was much smaller than the actual one, so it has not attracted people's attention.

With these memories, Zhang Yunfei dared to set up such a large iron and steel plant in Baotou, and then made up an excuse, saying that he heard some local Mongolians talk about it, and then checked some information himself, and then concluded that there is a large amount of iron ore in Baiyun Obo. .

Zhang Yunfei was very happy to see Fangzheng, and immediately suggested: "Old Fang, you organize a group of geological experts and technicians to go to Baiyun Obo for a detailed survey in the past two days. I think it will bring us a big surprise.

By the way, for safety, we can send a battalion of soldiers to escort these geological experts and technicians, and we can also dispatch some trucks and off-road vehicles for these personnel to use, and report to me as soon as there is any news. "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Regarding Zhang Yunfei's words, Fang Zheng followed his advice and always followed through firmly.

Watching Fangzheng leave happily, Zhang Yunfei walked to the huge map hanging in his office, stared at the location of Baiyun Obo in a daze, and thought of many things about Baiyun Obo in his mind.

Before the Baiyun Obo Iron Mine was discovered, some local children often played and played in the mine. The main mine of Baiyun Obo Mine is still very high, and there are few people in the mining area. Therefore, there are many chutzpah on the mountain, which are beaten with slingshots every day. reward.Iron sand has a high specific gravity, and it is washed into the shape of pebbles by running water in the ditch, which is simply an excellent bullet.Back then, it was this kind of iron sand used by naughty children to hunt birds that led a young geologist to discover the Baiyun Obo Iron Mine step by step. [

In June 1927, outside the Great Wall of the Northland was suffering from the cold spring and dust. A huge caravan of camels appeared on the horizon of the grassland, winding its way to the sky.When the locals saw this mighty team with guns and some rare items they had never seen before, they couldn't help but suspect that they would take away the treasure of the mountain here.

This is indeed a treasure hunting team: the Sino-Swiss Northwest Scientific Expedition.They were stationed at Bailing Temple, where the "government" of Darhan Maoming'an United Banner is today, and then they planned to continue westward from the south of Baiyun Obo Mountain.

Among the group of visitors from afar, there was a handsome and handsome young man, Ding Daoheng, 27, who was only a university assistant at that time.He seemed to be attracted by some inexplicable magnetic force, or because of the natural sensitivity of a geologist, he found this dark and mysterious mountain in the distance more than ten kilometers away.

He found the local residents to inquire, provoked the oil lamp to check the information.After a sleepless night, he decided to get up early in the morning to find out.

At dawn the next day, while his companions were still soundly asleep, he ran to Baiyun Obo on foot alone.The closer he got to the bottom of the mountain, the denser the iron sand in the ravines, the more excited his heart was beating. This is iron ore, a big iron ore!This day is July 1927, 7.

July 7 Sven>

Another member of the expedition——Swedish geologist Erik>

A lot of knowledge, a lot of experience and a little bit of luck are the three primary "colors" for a successful prospector.At that time, Ding Daoheng continued westward with the collected specimens, hand-drawn drawings and a large number of written materials, but he never forgot this "national treasure".Three full years later, he was able to record what he saw and gained in the Suiyuan Baiyun Obo Iron Mine Report. This is the first time in history that Baiyun Obo, a strange and magical place that is unfamiliar to the world, has been made public to the world.

Standing in front of the map, Zhang Yunfei thought a lot, and felt slightly excited. He thought in his heart that if Baiyun Obo was established as a mining area, just a little mining would fully meet the ore needs of Baotou's 30-ton steel plant.

With so much high-quality steel, the scale of major factories in Datong can also be expanded, and the Tongpu Railway between Datong and Taiyuan should also be re-expanded. The current Tongpu Railway is all narrow gauge, which is very inconvenient. convenient.

Because of the narrow gauge, only a limited number of trains can run on this railway, and the transportation capacity is very limited. Now the cement road from Datong to Taiyuan has undertaken a lot of transportation tasks.

After having a large amount of steel, Zhang Yunfei plans to build the Tongpu Railway into a standard track. After having a large amount of steel, Zhang Yunfei also plans to choose a site to build a train factory.

With a large amount of steel, the production of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks and even planes will also increase substantially.

Standing in front of the map, Zhang Yunfei was lost in thought for a moment, and even Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, knocked on the door and came in, but Zhang Yunfei didn't notice.
