Doctor, I'm really strong!

So recently, caravans passing through Kazdel have noticed some significant changes here.

Definitely. There are many more permanent fortifications in this area, but they are currently hidden. The city of Kazdel itself seems unchanged, but all the houses have been tactically reinforced to withstand armor-piercing rounds from heavy machine guns.

Anyway, there's no shortage of materials, so we can just pile them up. Even if there are layers upon layers of permanent fortifications outside, we must be prepared for street fighting when the enemy advances.

The most deployed weapons were heavy artillery of various calibers. Artillery positions that could be moved were deployed, while those that could not be moved were placed directly in bunkers.

The mobile city fortress is made of armored plates and reinforced concrete, and contains twin-mounted fortress cannons. Anyone who comes will die.

To prevent the enemy from bringing out weapons of the Gustav class as a show of force, a large number of cruise missiles and Scud missiles were also deployed, and the factory went into three shifts to rush production. If the enemy dared to come, they would be made to tremble under the rain of steel.

Anna is an ordinary Sarkaz girl. At this moment, she is on the construction site, busy working with a group of Sarkaz workers.

Such scenes were not uncommon in Kazdel. Liu Jiuli insisted on a thorough revolution, thoroughly purging the various exploitative classes in the area. Afterwards, he carried out a complete equal rights movement, liberating women and making them understand that they could also hold up half the sky.

Feminism: Men are slaves, we are fairies.

Feminism: German devils, your working-class grandma is here!

The barbaric custom of bride kidnapping in the past has been completely corrected. For those who are unwilling to change their mindset, the Ministry of Internal Affairs helps them to change their mindset physically. Liu Jiuli knows that ruthless methods are the true compassion of a bodhisattva, so he immediately took drastic measures against the old order. In the first month, no less than 10,000 people were shot or imprisoned in Sun Prison to reflect on their actions because of the issue of equal rights.

The effect was immediate; in the short term, fear was more effective than education.

Once the red line is drawn, education and propaganda will change everyone's mindset, and the rest will be left to time.

For women like Anna, their past life was hell, and if they were infected, it was hell within hell. But now, the new people's government has given them the power to choose and the right to pursue happiness. In order to achieve true gender equality, their support for the community has skyrocketed.

The simplest logic is: if the community collapses, will they still have the life they have now?

The answer is obvious.

The reason I can endure darkness is because I have never seen light. Now the sunlight is so warm, yet you want me to embrace darkness. So, I can only say to you in the most refined and gentle tone: "Fuck your mother!"

Anna's job is operating an excavator, a skill she acquired at a vocational school.

Those who received training with her back then have now grown into skilled workers who can work independently. Before Anna started her first job, she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep, worried that her IQ was too low to handle such a complex task.

Don't laugh, many girls thought so back then, which is a microcosm of the dark social environment that exploited women.

In response to this situation, Liu Jiuli suggested preparing enough equipment to make contact, and then using it until it breaks down. Once it breaks, learn how to repair it, and once it's repaired, learn how to use it again. The value of the circulating pressing machine is much greater than that of the people being pressed.

With this training, Anna's excavator skills became increasingly proficient. Now she can easily handle various complex working environments, especially after the government provided them with multi-legged motorized excavators, which allowed her to handle even more work environments. Through her outstanding performance, Anna successfully won the Medal of Labor and the Medal of Outstanding Worker.

Honor brings confidence, and rewards build trust. When the community calls on everyone to stand up and protect the people's regime, countless workers step forward and work tirelessly on the front lines.

There was a lot of work to be done, but thanks to the enthusiasm of the people, many projects were completed ahead of schedule with guaranteed quality. Despite repeated orders from the government that even under special mobilization, employees could not work more than two hours of overtime per day, many people still secretly climbed over the wall at night to work on the construction site.

Faced with this outpouring of enthusiasm, the only thing Liu Jiuli could do was demand that overtime pay be paid in full and that all kinds of benefits be provided, so as not to give those corrupt officials an excuse to exploit the people through their dedication in the future.

The result would only be that they go from actively contributing without asking for a penny to not doing anything at all unless the money is in place.

The loss and overdraft of national credibility is a responsibility that no one can afford to bear.

"Director, our work is finished. Can the inspection team come and check it out? Are there any new tasks?"

Anna, with a confident smile on her face, handed the completion application form to the director.

The group leader took the document and said admiringly, "Your class got first place again this time. Impressive! No wonder you're Class One."

Anna's smile held a hint of pride: "Our motto is to go all out and strive for first place."

The director nodded and instructed the inspection team to conduct the inspection. This process was mandatory and would not be lowered based on your status or merits; it was to ensure the safety of the soldiers who would use these official documents in the future.

After the inspection team confirmed that everything was in order, the director flipped through the documents, shook his head, and said, "You all go and rest first. Our project here is almost finished. Next, we need to move to another location. Please get ready."

Anna nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Just then, two workers carried over a large bucket and called out, "Comrades, come and have some mung bean soup, ice-cold mung bean soup!"

Such scenes are playing out on countless construction sites, and if someone were to look down from a high altitude at this time, they would see an astonishing sight.

From Komsomolsk-on-Amur to Kazdel, countless workers and construction machinery are busy at work, as if trying to trim the entire earth. Massive defensive fortifications are taking shape rapidly, with huge changes every hour.

Gongqingcheng, the Ninth Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

Due to its latitude, Komsomolsk-on-Amur is currently experiencing polar night. Fortunately, it is a fixed dome city, and the day-night cycle can be managed with lighting. It is currently 7 p.m., and the factories here close at 5:30 p.m., so it is closing time.

However, due to the three-shift system, many factory lights are still on, and the night shift workers are currently busy.

Although the Ninth Automobile Works is named after an automobile manufacturing plant, don't be fooled by the name. This factory actually produces the main guns for land-based ships. The standard 155mm main gun barrels can be used on the soon-to-be-mass-produced Type 59 land-based ships, and can also be used to equip self-propelled artillery. Apart from the internal structure of the turret, the components of a single gun are interchangeable between the two.

The enemy is coming on strong and will definitely escalate their attack. Liu Jiuli is producing all kinds of weapons according to the standards of preparing for a world war. You have more people, right? I'll overwhelm you with artillery shells!

This is evident from the orders for over 100,000 heavy artillery pieces; the Terra Red Army is prepared to fill every position with cannons.

Dehaka, the squad leader, was inspecting the assembly line when he suddenly spotted a figure that shouldn't be there. After confirming that he wasn't seeing things, Squad Leader Dehaka patted the person on the shoulder.

"Hey, Pixar, you should be off work by now."

Pixar instantly shuddered and quickly made a shushing gesture: "Keep your voice down, I'm helping out."

Dehaka looked him over and asked, "Did you swipe your card?"

Pickston tensed up immediately and whispered, "It wasn't swiped."

Employees voluntarily came in to work overtime and didn't even swipe their cards. If this happened in some companies, the boss would be overjoyed.

Keep it up, I'll rely on your remaining value to buy a new car next year.

However, since the Community government during the Red Guard era, it has condemned this "voluntary" act of self-devaluation as "traitorous behavior."

After that, working overtime became a special perk that no one could do without permission from above.

Well, as for benefits, as mentioned before, if your skills aren't up to par, you won't get to work overtime. Those who are qualified to work overtime are the factory's model workers or senior technicians, who enjoy triple pay. Ordinary workers shouldn't even think about working overtime; they should go home and play with their children, and focus on nurturing the next generation for the country.

However, this work is about to disappear, because the community government is considering the issue of socialized parenting. In the future, the education of children will be contracted out to the state, all children will receive the same education in unified educational institutions, and everyone will have the same educational resources, thus completely breaking down class barriers in education.

Of course, this step is still somewhat difficult and cannot be successful directly, but the plan has already begun trial operation.

Dehaka was very dissatisfied with Pixar's behavior and rebuked him, saying, "Comrade Pixar, this is a violation of discipline. I remember you have an elderly mother at home who needs to be taken care of, and your daughter has just been born. What you need to do now is spend time with your family and rest, not come here to exhaust yourself."

Pixar slumped his head and said softly, "Yes, I know I was wrong, but class monitor, I really want to do something."

“You know our family situation. If it weren’t for the Red Guards and the Community, my mother and I would have frozen to death on some winter night long ago. It was the Community that gave me hope, so…”

Pixar clenched his fist, tears welling in his eyes, and looked at his squad leader: "I want to do something for this country, because it is our country, a country that belongs to all the people. Now our motherland needs me, I..."

The squad leader raised his hand and said, "Alright, stop talking and come with me."

The two left the workshop and, after many twists and turns, arrived at a relatively secluded factory.

From the outside, there was nothing special about this place, but once inside, Pixar was surprised to find that everyone who had supposedly left work was actually here.

"Hey everyone, look! Pixar is here!"

"Haha, I knew he would come. This is the third day, right?"

"Yes, yes, the third day, exactly the third day. I bet you won, and I'll give you my treasured vodka."

"Welcome to our secret base, Comrades."

Pixar was a little confused: "Squad leader, what's going on?"

The squad leader patted Pix on the shoulder: "Someone like you who is willing to dedicate himself to the motherland. By the way, I came up with this suggestion and I also prepared the location. If any problems arise, I will take full responsibility."

Pixar's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "This has nothing to do with the class monitor!"

Dehaka laughed heartily, then pinned a red flag-shaped badge to his chest and gave one back to Pixar.

"Welcome to join us, let's fight together, Comrades!"

Pixar was taken aback for a moment, then answered with renewed determination, "Yes!"

At this moment, outside the factory building, two workers wearing blue peaked caps were chatting.

"Their daily overtime hours must be off the charts."

"It's been off the charts for a long time, averaging over 100 hours a week, definitely a traitorous act."

"Aren't you going to arrest them?"

"Why do we need to crack down on this? It's normal overtime work. We just need to record their overtime hours and then apply for overtime pay."

"That's true. Alright, nothing's planned for tonight, you can go home now."

"What about you?"

"Someone has to keep an eye on them, right?"

"I think instead of just sitting here watching, we should do something."

As he spoke, the Cheka official took off his uniform, revealing the worker's work clothes underneath.

Another Cheka official, dumbfounded, asked, "What are you doing?"

"Is there even a question? Of course, join the party, Comrade."

Another Cheka official was silent for a few seconds, then took off his uniform, revealing the worker's work clothes underneath, and put on a red flag badge.

"What a coincidence, I have one too."

The two looked at each other's red flag badges and then burst into laughter.

“Let’s go, Comrade General, the party has already begun.”

"Yes, let's join too."

The two patted each other on the shoulder and walked toward the factory not far away. In the darkness, the sword and shield badges on their Cheka uniforms, which they had hidden in the grass, were brightly illuminated by the factory lights.

Section 193: Mass Production of Landships

(There's one more chapter coming soon, where are your votes? (?ω?))

Kharkiv No. 33 Engineering Dock.

The latest Type 59 land-based warship is under construction here. Compared to traditional land-based warships of the past, the Type 59 looks more like an enlarged tank than a land-based warship, and its most distinctive feature is its single, massive turret.

It is 40 meters long, 18 meters wide, and 15 meters high. Its main gun is a triple-mounted 155mm tank gun, and it weighs 2500 tons.

It is worth mentioning here that Kroos proposed the energy armor route.

The manufacturing method is as follows: Use a layer of armor plate engraved with Originium Arts, then add a layer of composite armor on each side. After integrated processing, hand it over to the Universal Factory for replication and production. After splicing, the activated Originium Arts can make these armor blocks form a solid whole, with a defensive effect more than fifty times that of ordinary steel armor, and the weight is very reasonable. The only problem is that it has high requirements for the Originium engine. Given the current size of the Type 59 landship, it is obviously impossible to fit a large Originium reactor.

After realizing that the technical problem could not be solved in a short time, Liu Jiuli solved it with the simplest and most direct method: spending money.

Why not just burn it until it's pure Originium?
