Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

The vast Songliao Plain,

Anda County, Sartu,

A group of explorers, full of expectation and determination, are busy around the drilling equipment.

In early spring in Northeast China, it is still cold.

The wind was fierce, but it could not extinguish the burning hope in their hearts.

The generator and the drilling machine roared, as if telling of the upcoming great discovery. As the drill bit continued to go deeper into the ground, everyone's eyes were fixed on the wellhead, and their hearts were hanging.

Suddenly, a stream of black liquid gushed out and splashed on the surrounding land. "It's oil! It's really oil!" Excited shouts resounded through the sky.

The workers around them instantly smiled with excitement, their eyes sparkling with tears of excitement. They hugged each other and cheered, the sounds of joy echoing in the open field.

At this moment, years of hard work and countless days and nights of perseverance have turned into immense pride and satisfaction.

Harbin, Eastlink Headquarters,

An officer read the message aloud.

"The Anda County Oil Exploration Team has drilled oil at the Sartu No. 4 Well. The current estimated reserves are no less than 500 million tons!"

The entire headquarters was filled with cheers and everyone’s faces were filled with joy and happiness!

"We finally found oil. The next step is to open a refinery!"

"This time, the Mulan Special Zone has manufactured four drilling machines and 80 alloy drill bits for the exploration team! This is an immortal feat!"

"And Comrade Wang Peng, he hasn't had a rest in days!"

"We also have to thank Yan'an for sending all the experts and workers from Yanchang Oilfield here!"

"Mulan Arsenal not only repaired the generator set for our Harbin Power Plant, but also provided an additional 5-kilowatt new generator set. I see, their workload is really heavy!"

"That's right. We should wait a little longer before launching a new offensive. We can't add any more tasks to the Mulan Arsenal. The Dalian Arsenal has already started production. It won't be too late to launch a new offensive once we have enough shells!"

(Note: Dalian, including the Port of Lushun, is still under Soviet control!)

"Okay, let's wait a while. The situation in the Northeast continues to develop in our favor. Order the logistics department to continue to mobilize the masses and continue to mobilize skilled workers and educated young people to go to the Mulan Special Zone!"

"Yes!"

This morning, Yin Xinjun and pilot Shen Hui each flew an ME262 and conducted flight training over Harbin again.

Shen Hui's flight time has exceeded 65 hours.

According to the aviation school regulations, if you have more than 50 hours of training, you can fly the jet fighters in the aviation school for training!

Since the last time five Kuomintang planes were shot down, there have been no enemy planes appearing over Harbin, and it has been safe and sound!

After the two planes stayed over Harbin for half an hour, they flew back!

Back to the aviation school,

All training aircraft took off today over Tonghe County and Fangzheng County.

Tonghe Aviation School currently trains more than 230 pilots!

The enemy planes that crashed in Harbin last time were all smashed to pieces. Yin Xinjun only got a batch of parts and did not get a complete plane. This made him a little anxious. The production of aircraft needs to be accelerated!

But now the Mulan Arsenal has taken on a large number of outsourcing tasks, plus some of the aircraft and tank workshops have already started construction, which means that a large number of Class A employees have been occupied. Yin Xinjun couldn't help but sigh heavily!

After all, there are still too few excellent technicians!

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Wenjiu ran over and reported something to him.

Director Chen from headquarters is here!

Waiting for him at Mulan City Hall!

Yin Xinjun hurriedly drove his armored vehicle to the city government!

In the room, Director Chen was pacing back and forth anxiously. He came here again to beg for alms.

Since the headquarters started trading with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would definitely not accept Northeastern currency or legal tender, but would require payment in hard currency.

The headquarters is currently negotiating with the Soviet Union to import a set of oil refining equipment. As the Northeast Bank's gold reserves have been exhausted, the Soviet Union has allowed Donglian to use soybeans, manganese ore, nickel ore, aluminum ore and other resources for exchange, but this is also a huge astronomical figure!

Currently, these things are only available in Mulan Special District!

Seeing Yin Xinjun coming in,

Director Chen's face was full of smiles.

"Commander Yin, I'm so sorry to have to trouble you again!"

He was really grateful to Yin Xinjun for agreeing to merge the Northeast Currency and Mulan Currency last time. The abundant supplies from the Mulan Special Zone made the Northeast Currency quickly become the most popular and trusted currency among the people, and stabilized the currency value, greatly enhancing the purchasing power and liquidity of the Northeast Currency!

"Why are you disturbing me? Just tell me if you need anything!" Yin Xinjun knew in his heart that Director Chen was here most likely for money!

"This time, Anda has drilled out oil. Wang Peng said that the reserves are tens of thousands times larger than that of the Yanchang Oilfield. Therefore, we can only purchase a large-scale refinery. Now we have talked to the Soviets, and the gold in the headquarters is gone!" After saying this, he sighed heavily!

Yin Xinjun understood, but he was not willing to give the precious gold to the Russians. In two years, New China would be established. By then, the whole country would need great economic development, and there would be many places lacking money!

"Director Chen, I have the blueprints of the refinery. I found them from the Germans. We can make the equipment ourselves. There's no need to spend money to buy it from the Soviets!"

Yin Xinjun discovered that all the production line equipment in his space were the most advanced in the world. Instead of spending money to buy a bunch of backward things from the Russians, it would be better to make them by himself!

Director Chen was a little worried and said,

“There is a severe shortage of workers in your arsenal. I am worried that the manufacturing time is too long and the country has to keep importing refined oil!

However, the Soviets said they would accept soybeans or minerals as an exchange!"

"Then we'll just exchange for refined oil. Director Chen, listen to me. I'm sure the refinery can produce the equipment within half a year!" Yin Xinjun said decisively.

Now, the total number of workers in the arsenal has reached people, and the number of skilled Class A workers has reached more than 800. The manufacturing speed is several times faster than when it was first established!

Moreover, this year we will enter a strategic counter-offensive. As our troops win more and more battles and liberate more and more areas, the number of skilled workers will only continue to increase!

After hearing this, Director Chen was also persuaded by Yin Xinjun.

"Half a year, that won't take too long. After I go back, I will continue to look for skilled workers for you!"

Yin Xinjun said,

"In the long run, these workers can't all come to Mulan. All places need to develop. Only by training them and building more schools can we do a good job in our education!"

"Well, I'll write a report to the higher-ups later and ask them to set up one or two universities in Mulan. What do you think?"

"That's great! Thank you, Director Chen!"
