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

New Year's Eve, morning,

Mulan City Arsenal,

The shooting range was shrouded in mist.

In front of the test firing table, Wang Deming, chief engineer of the rifle workshop, carefully loaded the new semi-automatic rifle that had just rolled off the production line with ten rounds of bullets. A crisp "click" sound was heard when the metal magazine was loaded into the chamber.

"You can shoot!" the shooting range safety officer shouted through the loudspeaker.

As Wang Deming pulled the trigger, the gunshot pierced the silence like thunder, and the flames from the barrel drew a bright arc in the morning light. The chest ring target a hundred meters away shook in response, and the bullet hole was precisely embedded on the edge of the ten rings.

The palms of the technicians watching were sweating as they held their notebooks. When the target examiner held up the red flag of "10 rings", suppressed cheers instantly broke through the clouds.

"Old Zhou, it's your turn!" Wang Deming handed the rifle to Zhou Wei, an experienced fitter.

The old fitter took a deep breath, lay down, held the gun, and took aim in one go. After three rounds of rapid fire, the bullets hit the target paper closely. "The recoil is solid!" Zhou Zhengguo wiped the gunpowder off his face, "It's much better than the captured Garand!"

After the test firing, the factory director Zhao Taihua urgently convened a naming meeting. On the yellowed meeting record book, the words "Type 52 Semi-Automatic Rifle" were not yet dry. Zhao Taihua clapped his calloused hands and announced: "From today on, the Type 52 of our Mulan Factory will let the Americans know how tough we Chinese are in making guns!"

Immediately afterwards, the first batch of Type 52 semi-automatic rifles were urgently packed in boxes in the cargo area of ​​the train, with eye-catching slogans painted in red on the box lids - "Resist the U.S. and Aid Korea, Defend the Homeland!"

After the meeting, Zhao Taihua was in a particularly good mood today. The arsenal has developed a total of three weapons: the Type 52 semi-automatic, the Type 52 submachine gun, and the Type 52 rocket launcher. So far, all tests have been successful!

The red telephone on the table rang. This was the Military Commission's internal line.

Zhao Taihua quickly picked up the microphone.

"Happy New Year, Leader!"

"Happy New Year, Lao Zhao. On New Year's Eve, I wish all the employees of your arsenal a happy new year!"

"thanks, thanks!"

"There's something. The production capacity of semi-automatic, submachine guns, and rocket launchers must be doubled. Haizhou State has placed an order for 200 million! The money has been paid!"

"Yes, don't worry, I will arrange to increase production capacity in the next few days!"

After hanging up the red phone, Zhao Taihua picked up another white phone, which was an internal line.

The affairs of Haizhou State,

The priority level is the same as that of the Korean War.

The Mulan Arsenal alone dispatched 2400 workers to assist Haizhou State’s military production!

Of course, the rewards are also very generous!

Next month, the Qinglong fighter and Suzaku reconnaissance aircraft of the Mulan Arsenal will be offline! The Type 52 self-propelled artillery of the Changchun Arsenal will also be offline!

These are the latest drawings provided by Haizhou State!

More importantly, the nickel alloys, aluminum alloys, and manganese alloys needed by several major arsenals in the Northeast are now all supplied in unlimited quantities by Haizhou State!

New Year's Eve,

Along the Pearl River,

The surface of the Pearl River was sparkling, but it could not conceal the warm atmosphere surging at the new school site in the suburbs.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, the military band played the passionate song "Unity is Strength" and the foundation stone decorated with red silk shone brightly in the morning sun. The Guangdong Provincial Government held a joint groundbreaking ceremony for Guangzhou Normal University, South China Institute of Technology and Guangzhou Institute of Aeronautics here.

Colorful flags are flying on the construction site, and thousands of builders are wearing wicker safety helmets. The big red flowers on their chests are particularly eye-catching against the navy blue work uniforms.

An old stonemason with gray hair gently stroked the foundation stone, while a young worker was tying a red silk with the words "Education Makes the Country Prosperous" printed on it to the handle of a shovel. Not far away, dozens of brand-new crawler bulldozers and excavators were lined up in an orderly manner, and the roar of their engines made the ground tremble slightly.

At 9 o'clock, as the leaders of Guangdong Province swung their gilded iron shovels to shovel the first handful of loess, salutes rang out and white doves soared into the sky. The representative of the Education Department, wearing a Zhongshan suit, said in a loud voice: "Today we are shoveling the foundation, and tomorrow we will harvest thousands of pillars! These three universities are the cradles for cultivating engineers, educators, and aviation pioneers for the new China!"

Before he finished speaking, the sounds of gongs and drums, cheers and the roar of machinery intertwined into one.

1952 was the second year of Haizhou National Education’s counterpart assistance to Guangdong’s “Hundred Years of Education Plan!” A total of 3 universities, 27 high schools, 46 junior high schools, and 133 primary schools were built!

At the same time, Haizhou State will continue to provide Guangdong with the annual education funds of 74.6 billion yuan needed for twelve years of compulsory education!

Guangdong and Mulan are the two major regions that Haizhou State assists, one in the south and one in the north, complementing each other!

Guangdong has a geographical advantage, with its sea area directly connected to the sea area of ​​Haizhou State, and its transportation is very convenient. After the Guangdong Zhanjiang Shipyard, the Haizhou Shipyard of Haizhou State, and the Kuching Shipyard were put into production, Guangdong’s daily freight trade with Haizhou State has reached 11.5 tons!

Moreover, this number increases almost every month as more cargo ships are launched!

Iron ore and crude oil are the two largest commodities shipped from Haizhou to Guangdong, and their prices are only 20% of the international market prices!

This is also the biggest spoils Haizhou Kingdom has obtained through two wars so far!

New Year's Eve,

Living in the 46th Residential Settlement of Ziyun Town, Yalujiang City, Haizhou State,

At the entrance of the community office,

Residents who wanted to receive New Year's condolence money lined up in a long queue.

The 136 households here,

All of them migrated from within the country.

Engage in agricultural cultivation here!

Wang Feng's family alone obtained 120 acres of land!

Due to the extensive use of agricultural machinery,

Wang Feng and his wife are not tired at all.

Before the Chinese New Year, they had harvested 7.5 kilograms of rice! After selling it to the state grain depot, they earned 5 yuan! After deducting the cost of fertilizers and machinery, the net profit was 4 yuan!

Rice can be grown three times a year!

A wonderful life has begun!

It was finally his turn in the team.

Wang Feng handed over five ID cards!

The staff handed over a stack of banknotes and said,

"Wang Feng, please sign your names. 1000 yuan per person, a total of 5000 yuan!"

Wang Feng's fingers just touched the new version of the 100-yuan bill, and the cold touch made him shudder. On the lavender banknote, a golden dragon was spreading its claws, and under the refraction of the sun, the holographic pattern at the dragon's beak was flowing with tiny spots of light.

A total of 50 photos!

This is the fifth time since the founding of Haizhou that money has been distributed to all citizens! This time the largest amount is the 1952 New Year's consolation money, 1000 yuan per person!

Last year, the average annual income of Haizhou reached 6.6 yuan! The minimum wage standard was also raised to 3000 yuan!

As for GDP, Haizhou State never publishes it because Yin Xinjun feels that the data is meaningless. After all, the tens of thousands of tons of materials produced in his space every day cannot be counted. The key is to ensure that every citizen can benefit!
