The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

If discussing wages was the icebreaker, then the conditions Jiang Cheng mentioned were enough to make everyone excited.

Coming all the way to Jilin to work, money alone is not enough... How can I take care of my wife and children? I can't just leave them in Shandong.

As early as when Jiang Cheng first took over as the acting governor of Jilin, he had already introduced the concepts of the planned economy era. Food, clothing, housing and transportation were all collectively allocated...even the medical care and education of the children were guaranteed.

Under his rule, workers, peasants and soldiers were all fully supported by the economy within the political region, so that everyone could live and work in peace and contentment, and there was sufficient basic protection for both combat effectiveness and productivity.

Sure enough, the consul general was the first to express his willingness to surrender, and then... the foreman, the administrator, and several technicians all expressed their willingness to participate in the development of Jilin.

Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction and had the civil servants called in. He recorded these people one by one and allocated housing to them on the spot.

But when everyone was very proactive, Jiang Cheng noticed that the chief engineer Han Yanchao always looked hesitant and nervous, and even looked like he was watching from the sidelines.

Is he observing?

still is……

Just as everyone gathered around the civil servants in charge of registration, excitedly reporting their expertise and their needs, Han Yanchao suddenly stood up and walked towards Jiang Cheng: "Master Jiang, I... want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

…………

At this time, the back garden was already desolate due to the cold. Accompanied by their guards, the two of them strolled in the vast snow scene.

But no matter who it was, no one was in a hurry to speak.

"I was very impressed by your theory about the iron ore element earlier—"

Looking at the young face that looked even more livid due to the severe cold, Jiang Cheng spoke up, "I have always believed that the limitation of steel development in Jilin was due to the low iron content."

Han Yanchao looked back at Jiang Cheng, lowered his head and answered softly: "So, that's why you imported iron ore from Australia, right?"

"But I still want to say... Without sufficient technical support, no matter how good the ore is, we can't research and develop steel that can be used in tanks and cannons!"

Jiang Cheng paused.

A light flashed across his eyes, but he quickly withdrew his sharp gaze: "It seems that Mr. Han has a good understanding and knowledge of Jilin's development!"

This time, Han Yanchao chose to speak directly: "Master Jiang, in fact, the research on alloy structural steel is a technology that the whole world is trying to overcome."

"Germany has developed rapidly in this area, which has also made their frontier weapons more powerful in addition to their power."

Jiang Cheng agreed with this point.

After the end of World War I, although Germany continued to receive transfusions from the United States, its steel, weapons research and development and other technologies were all at the forefront.

This meant that they had almost the most advanced equipment and weapons in the world during World War II.

"Mr. Han, are you trying to get me to cooperate with the Germans?"

Jiang Cheng asked the question even though he knew the answer, but he was not in a hurry to make it clear.

"Master Jiang, you know very well that although we work in that German factory, the real core technology is basically in the hands of the Germans themselves—"

"I, I mean, although I am the so-called chief engineer, I have very little actual contact with technical content; people like us have no problem reassembling the equipment and resuming production, but steelmaking, especially the structural steel for mechanical manufacturing that you want, is impossible for us alone to produce." This man is really honest.

Jiang Cheng paused, clasped his hands behind his back and looked back at him with narrowed eyes:
Perhaps this is the ethics that technical scholars should have?

Without the diamond drill, he would not be like that guy named Zhao who dared to take on the "porcelain work" at once.

Suddenly he let out a hearty laugh, and Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and shook it tightly: "Okay, okay, I completely understand what you mean."

"Don't worry about anything else for now - bring the people to the factory to install and debug the equipment you just dismantled!"

"As for the subsequent research and development work, and the technology you mentioned, Mr. Han, there is still a long way to go. We will slowly overcome these difficulties."

In fact, Jiang Cheng had also thought about the question raised by Han Yanchao.

Since it is a German factory, it would be good enough if the production line laid out in Shandong can produce some low-end steel.

How can real high-tech military products be deployed in the so-called colonies?
But even so, the steel plant equipment that was dismantled was the best thing he could find in China at that time.

Metal materials, metal manufacturing and other related industries are completely Jiang Cheng's blind spot.

When he was in school, he had some understanding of the classification of structural steels, such as penetration steel, quenched and tempered steel, etc., but he had no idea about the uses, composition and properties of these structural steels.

It seems that even though we have the steel plant, the equipment, and some talented people, it is almost impossible to produce steel that can be used in tanks and cannons in a short period of time.

All things are difficult at the beginning. With the efforts of many parties in Jilin, the development has had a good start.

Next, it depends on when the equipment can be assembled and debugged, and what kind of steel performance it can produce.

However, just after sending away those foreign talents, Feng Qing ran in in a panic, saying that something had happened to Zhang Tinghui and my aunt.

Jiang Cheng was secretly shocked and hurriedly asked him what happened. Before he could answer clearly, Yan Ziwen ran in breathlessly and said that the two women were sent to the First Hospital and were receiving treatment.

At this time, Hai Huixin also followed in. On the way, the group learned that Zhang Tinghui took Duan Xinyu to the Chinese medicine factory to check out the raw materials, and suddenly an explosion occurred.

The Chinese patent medicine factory has not been fully completed yet, and the progress is in the internal assembly, and the equipment has not been installed yet;
The explosion came out of nowhere, knocking the two women and seven or eight decorators over. A large amount of cement blocks poured down, burying them all under the prefabricated panels.

"Third sister and Xinyu, is it serious?"

Hai Huixin was so scared that she gasped for breath and asked Yan Ziwen; but the latter also looked terrified and shook his head, saying that he didn't know yet.

"Damn it! How could it explode? Apart from the Chinese medicinal materials that my third sister bought, there seem to be only a few scattered pieces of equipment in the factory, right?"

Jiang Cheng slapped his thigh, "Damn it, someone must be causing trouble again!"

Yan Ziwen was speechless, but Han Ming, who was driving, quickly replied: "Mr. Jiang is right... After the explosion, Commander Li ordered people to rescue the wounded and quickly closed off two nearby streets."

"We arrested several suspicious persons - one of them, he suspected, was that Minamoto Yoshimasa!"

Minamoto no Yoshimasa, that little devil!

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly became hot: "Is it really him!?" (End of this chapter)
