Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 304 The Passionate Years
Yanjing.

One year after National Day, the mainland has completed the final unification work and began to transition from wartime to normal construction and development.

Central and South China, somewhere.

The conference room was packed.

"Old Kong, how is the situation in your province? How many bandits have been eliminated?" Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie who hurried in, waved to him and asked him to sit next to him.

"Fortunately, the majority of them have been basically eliminated. There are still some scattered bandits staying in the mountains. The bandits are too cunning, much slippery than the Japanese. They run around the mountains like rabbits, fighting guerrilla warfare with us," Kong Jie replied with some headache.

"Fortunately, Brother Ren's method worked. The special forces team that trained us played a very important role. They went deep into the mountains and forests many times to find the bandit dens. In this way, we were able to surround several large gangs of bandits."

"Old Ding, how is your province?"

"What else can we do? The whole country is like a chessboard, and each of our columns has a special forces team. It's just that Li Yunlong is living a good life outside without having to go through wind and rain and climb mountains and cross rivers. Fortunately, the situation is under control now, and our anti-bandit work will come to an end. I think there may be big moves later." Ding Wei approached Kong Jie and said in a low voice.

"Are you talking about the reorganization work?" Kong Jie's eyes turned and he thought of a recent rumor that was not really a rumor.

"Well, speaking of this, we have to say that Lao Li is lucky. He met Brother Ren early on, and caught up with all the good things. Lao Li was also one of the first to eat meat in the reorganization." Ding Wei still felt a little sour when talking about this. Lao Li was really lucky. He happened to meet Ren Zhong, a rare talent in a century.

Even though Old Li and Ren Zhong didn't spend a very long time together, it couldn't stop Old Ren from being loyal to Li Yunlong and always thinking of Li Yunlong first when anything good happened.

So whether it is fighting or testing new weapons, Li Yunlong is always the first!
"The main force of Type A field battle will be the Dragon tank Type I. Tsk tsk, that bastard Li Yunlong got one of them in the first batch." Kong Jie also felt a little sour.

"To show off our national prestige, we must use our weapons properly." Ding Wei suppressed his inner sourness, "I just wonder if we will be among the first batch of field forces?"

They worked hard for a year and wiped out the bandits roaming in the surrounding mountains and forests.

The current situation is very good and everyone is very happy. However, the natural mission of a soldier makes commanders like Ding Wei and Kong Jie pay more attention to their own fate. What kind of position will they have in the future reorganization?

"Army-division-regiment or army-brigade-battalion each have their own advantages," Ren Zhong did not think so, and said to Staff Officer Ye. "Army-division-regiment is suitable for large-scale combat. Under the premise of insufficient firepower, a large organization is conducive to improving combat effectiveness."

The corner of Staff Officer Ye's mouth twitched and he shook his head. This is still insufficient firepower. Now there is a division, 4 Type A regiments, 2 artillery regiments and 1 tank regiment. The main artillery that the artillery regiment can be equipped with now, in addition to 105mm howitzers, 107mm rocket launchers and 75mm mountain guns, there are also 88mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns. The army level is equipped with a heavy artillery regiment, equipped with 12 of the latest developed 155mm howitzers and 24 new 122mm rocket launchers.

In Ren Zhong's mouth, this configuration is still not powerful enough. When will this firepower end?
Staff Officer Ye had no idea that without 300mm long-range rocket launchers, anti-aircraft missiles, a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, and the gradually becoming practical drone and robot dog teams, this was just a simple start.

"The army-brigade-battalion is flexible and suitable for handling some local conflicts and long-distance raids. It is very useful at this stage. According to my idea, this organization can be quickly mobilized by rail and air, and at least be deployed a thousand miles a day! This can be called a rapid response organization."

Since it is formalized, of course we should give them the best.

Although Ren Zhong cannot provide them with so many advanced equipment and require them to operate as a combined battalion now, he should at least have some samples to start exploring this area.

The explosion of new weapons in the next few decades, especially the rise of air power, will completely overturn the typical World War II model.

So in terms of tank production capacity, with the end of the war, Renzhong has shrunk back and the T-34 and M3 tanks have been discontinued.

Now only the production of Dragon Tank Type I is retained, and the research on Dragon Tank Type II and Dragon Tank Type III is maintained.

Composite armor, a new generation of sighting system, more horsepower, thicker gun barrel, better communication system
This is simply an endless road.

"Brother Ren, since you think so, let's walk on two legs. I think both paths are good. We can try and adjust as we go, and we will always find a path that suits us." Staff Officer Ye did not understand Ren Zhong's thoughts.

Such a prosperous war was something we could not even dream of in the past, and we really don’t know how to get more firepower.

“Comrades, work hard! Once our water conservancy hub is built, not only will every household have access to electricity, but we can also transform hundreds of thousands of acres of land that depends on the weather for food into fertile fields that can yield stable harvests regardless of drought or flood. In the future, people in Yunshan County will no longer go hungry, and there will be no more people fleeing famine.” On the construction site, a dark-skinned middle-aged man was pushing a chicken cart covered in dirt and loudly encouraging the people around him.

As the person in charge of Yunshan County, Liu Chonghou placed his main work location at the construction command center of Yunshan Reservoir. While handling various matters, he also took at least half a day to work directly on the construction site!

There are thousands of fellow villagers coming from all over the country to build this place.

"That's great, County Magistrate Liu. To be honest, we all dream of growing crops in irrigated land that can yield a harvest regardless of drought or flood. Now we really have the opportunity. Who wouldn't be happy? Who wouldn't work hard?" An old man with a sweat towel wrapped around his head said with a grin as he pushed the cart next to Liu Chonghou.

Looking down from the air, thousands of people are busy but not chaotic, each responsible for their own work area, and a dam is taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Deep in the mountains, the sound of cannons rumbles as a tunnel that penetrates the mountains goes deeper and deeper. This is an important railway linking Sichuan and Shaanxi. The construction team is working against the clock according to the pre-planned construction plan. Every day, the tunnel is being excavated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is a main line designed as a double-track line.

If completed, it will greatly change the difficult situation of the road to Shu.

However, it is not an easy task to build this railway by breaking through these mountains.

Dalyan Shipyard.

Ren Zhong came to the shipyard and looked at a Dawn-class roll-on/roll-off transport ship that was about to take shape on the slipway.

The person in charge next to him introduced.

"Mr. Ren, our fourth Liming-class ro-ro ship is ready for sea trials. From the current point of view, this type of transport ship is very mature. Next, we hope to build a 6-ton ro-ro transport ship based on the Liming-class. Now our own shipbuilding technical team has also been well-coordinated, and we are confident that we can build a new ship."

"No, our own technical team will not build transport ships next, but destroyers," Ren Zhong shook his head. "Let those little devils continue to find ways to build new transport ships, and our own people will build destroyers."

"Ah!" The person in charge was a little surprised. From a transport ship to a destroyer, the step was a bit big and he was not mentally prepared.

"Your mission has never been to build transport ships. Of course, I am not saying that building transport ships is not a serious matter. You have mastered the basic shipbuilding technology through building transport ships, which is also a very important learning link. However, our navy cannot be without warships, so your next mission is to become a pioneer in our naval shipbuilding!"

"Whether you are ready or not, time will not wait. We need to have our own warships."

The shipyard and Liming's Ship Research Institute are now under unified management. Although the person in charge bears a heavy responsibility, he did not expect that the institute would have to start real warship research and development just one year after its establishment.

Now they finally organized a team and participated in the design and construction of the Dawn-class ro-ro transport ship. The main responsible persons were still the original group of engineers.

So I felt a lot of pressure for a while.

"Professor Liu, you don't have to worry too much about this. We have obtained the original design of a destroyer, but we still need to modify and adapt it based on it to make sure it suits our current situation. The command system, radar detection fire control system, and weapon subsystem are all in the charge of other departments. We at the Ship Research Institute just need to concentrate on building the hull."

Ren Zhong saw the worry of the shipyard manager and spoke to comfort him.

"Let's go and take a look at the drawings I brought today."

Ren Zhong brought over the drawings of the Adams-class destroyer. When he opened the album, the smooth lines made Professor Liu's eyes light up.

You can get a feel for how powerful a warship is by looking at its appearance. If it looks comfortable, its performance will generally not be bad.

Further improvement in special steel technology has freed us from dependence on foreign countries for various special alloy steels. Alloy tool steel, spring steel, bearing steel, high-speed tool steel, heat-resistant steel and stainless steel, high-temperature alloy and precision alloy steel for automotive, railway and ship use have all been achieved in large-scale production.

In terms of materials, there are no longer any constraints on the development of naval vessels.

Ren Zhong has not only a destroyer, but he also has a submarine design in his hands. However, he can only carry out preliminary research now. After all, Professor Liu's team is only so large, and almost all those who can design and build ships are now concentrated here. Mr. Chen is also continuing to recruit people overseas.

In terms of steel, the consequence of the widespread popularization of converter steelmaking technology is that our steel costs have been greatly reduced, and we have a strong cost advantage when compared with the international market.

However, at this stage, the demand for large-scale construction across the country is huge, and there is not much room for export.

Instead, he stayed and focused on developing the Dragon Kingdom.

The same is true for the upstream mining industry. Planned mine construction is being completed ahead of schedule, with industrial railways and highways leading directly to the mines being built first. Under the traditional 007 work rhythm, the progress of mine roads constructed in sections and in parallel has made great progress, providing effective resource support for steel smelting.

Otherwise, tens of millions of tons of steel would not have appeared out of thin air.

The annual installed power capacity used for steel smelting is at least over one million kilowatts of electricity, and the thousands of kilometers of mining roads and railways are all built by the working people through a year of hard work.

This is an era of passion, and a new look every day is not just a simple rhetoric.
