Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 132 Reasons
Fang Guangqi's series of questions proved that he knew how difficult it was to do all this.

Not to mention building a steel plant under the bayonets of the Japanese, even simply surviving there was a very difficult task. Ren Zhong actually said that he could build a steel industry there with a daily output of more than 100 tons of steel. How could Fang Guangqi believe it?

Today's information, one by one, makes Fang Guangqi feel that his worldview has been overturned!
"Of course we have a way, because the blast furnaces we use to produce steel are completely different from ordinary blast furnaces. They are all earthen blast furnaces more than 10 meters high, built against the mountain wall, using local clay, and mining ore and coal nearby. There are coal mountains and iron mines everywhere in Jin. I believe that Professor Fang has recently heard some of the results of these construction achievements on the radio?"

"Mr. Ren, are you saying that the recent counterattack in the northern base is also related to your steel plant?" Fang Guangqi was shocked again, but then he thought, this is normal. The steel produced in the north can be transformed into weapons nearby and then put into battle.

No wonder the people in the temporary capital found the battle results announced in the north incredible during the broadcast, because in the current situation, it was already very difficult for the base in the north to launch an attack. After all, everyone knew that they were short of guns and bullets, and it took great courage to launch a counterattack against the enemy's core area.

Fang Guangqi didn't expect that this matter was related to Mr. Ren. From the sound of it, it seemed to be quite related.

"Yes, this is an unprecedented counterattack and raid in the base area. The weapons produced by our steel will deal a fatal blow to the Japanese. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line will be paralyzed. Hundreds of Japanese strongholds will be wiped out in this major attack." Ren Zhong did not mind revealing some things that were about to happen. In fact, these things had already happened for half a month, but due to the limitations of the communication level of this era, the base headquarters had to wait for the troops below to report the results of the battle, and then verify them before sending them to the border area, and then the border area would issue a unified battle report.

This way the news will have a large lag.

After all, a lot of information cannot be accurately counted by the participating troops alone. Apart from the irrefutable record of counting heads, the number of people defeated and injured can only be confirmed by estimates and insider intelligence.

These cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even though Ren Zhong provided the base with hundreds of radio stations, hundreds of tactical walkie-talkies, and hundreds of handheld radios, ensuring that each main regiment had reliable radio contact, he also provided the subordinate main battalions with instant communication equipment.

This is also a huge system project.

Therefore, in the previous battle reports, there may only be short messages about a certain stronghold being breached, and the specific number of enemy troops killed will only be reported after verification.

Ren Zhong was talking about this when suddenly, the volume of the radio placed downstairs in the hotel was turned up to the maximum, and the faint sound that came in was exactly the summary of the battle report of the Eighth Route Army's counter-offensive in Shanxi in the previous stage!
But in the private room upstairs, neither of them could hear clearly, and Fang Guangqi became a little itchy after listening for a while.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, I'll go listen to the radio first." Fang Guangqi stood up, bowed hurriedly to Ren Zhong, turned around and went downstairs!

Ren Zhong gave a bitter smile. Sure enough, this Professor Fang had hot blood!
Then he followed her downstairs.

“Dear listeners,
Hello everyone!
Now releasing the latest battle report summary: Tens of thousands of our Eighth Route Army soldiers launched a large-scale raid behind enemy lines since August 8. As of September 20, they had carried out raids on the Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line, destroyed more than 9 strongholds, damaged more than 1 kilometers of railway lines and more than 2000 kilometers of roads, annihilated more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops, seized more than guns, more than infantry guns and mortars, and more than tons of various military supplies, dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders and achieved major combat results!

Now, our Eighth Route Army soldiers are still fighting bravely on the front lines and continue to achieve victories. The latest information on the results will be broadcast later!
"

The dozen or so people gathered nearby burst into huge cheers, and some even had tears in their eyes.

I haven't heard such good news for a long time.

Although we have been receiving information about the Eighth Route Army launching raids, there has been no clear statistics on how much success has been achieved. Today, the results that everyone is concerned about have finally been announced. This huge result, which can be regarded as a huge result now, has re-energized the people of the temporary capital who have been suppressed for a long time.

You must know that in the Zaoyi Battle which just happened not long ago, Guofu concentrated its main force of 38 troops, and finally lost all the targets captured by the Japanese at the cost of 7000 casualties, and the casualties caused to the Japanese were only more than !

With such a huge contrast, how could the people of the temporary capital not be excited?
Since the Eighth Route Army began issuing battle reports on their counterattacks, even though the local authorities were investigating everyone's radios and forbidding them to listen, as soon as the inspectors left they would switch back to the border area's channels.

Just to hear the news of victory over there.

Raid the enemy's station!
Destroy the strongholds of the Japanese and puppet forces!
Raid the county town occupied by the Japanese!

Raid the Japanese airport
There are news of victory every day, and today it finally resulted in a huge result!

Back upstairs, Fang Guangqi was still excited.

"Mr. Ren, one last question. Why doesn't your organization place the research institute of the Dawn Project in the rear area, but instead plans to place it in the border area?" Fang Guangqi asked, staring at Ren Zhong.

He wanted to know Ren Zhong's true answer.

"Professor Fang, don't you think that's where the hope for our China's resurgence lies? Now that the country is in ruins and the people are declining, what are all the officials in the court doing? Do you think such a research institute can develop peacefully in the rear?" Ren Zhong said leisurely.

Fang Guangqi wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start.

He asked himself, this one million oceans may seem huge, but is this really all the rear area needs?

No! There is no lack of this. When the rich Pingjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai fell, the rich retreated first. Many of the wealthy merchants who gathered in the secondary capital had assets worth millions. As for those prominent people in the court, their wealth was calculated in tens of millions!
But will they use it for so-called scientific research?
No no no, absolutely not!

More importantly, if there is any benefit, they will swarm around like flies if they smell the ocean, and swallow up all the hard-earned R&D expenses.

Not to mention that they can't do it, aren't there enough military leaders, big and small, who suck the blood of soldiers?
When Fang Guangqi thought about it this way, he suddenly understood Ren Zhong's idea.

This is why it is better to be on the front line against the enemy than in the rear.

At least, Fang Guangqi knew that no matter how high or low the official rank was, no one had any private property! This alone was enough to completely defeat the rear area.
