Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Lin Tian looked at a man wearing a Zhongshan suit and glasses behind him.

"Hello, Commander. My name is Wu Xiuwen and I'm a mining expert. To be honest, I just want to go to the battlefield and kill the devils!"

"China's mineral resources are poor and weak, and now it is the moment of national survival!"

"All I have learned in my life can neither drive out foreign invaders nor enrich the country and strengthen the people!"

"Let's just find a place where we can fight the Japanese in peace. It'll be worth it even if we die on the battlefield!"

Wu Xiuwen said angrily.

Lin Tian disagreed with Wu Xiuwen's words. He lived in a poor and weak China and naturally could not see the future development.

"Xiu Wen, your idea is wrong!"

“Although everyone has different responsibilities, we are all working towards the same goal!”

"We can't have all the Chinese go to the battlefield. Otherwise, who will grow food? Who will weave clothes? Who will pass on our culture?"

"Let's take the troops for example. Not all of our divisions are charged into battle, right?"

"Logistics is an important factor in ensuring combat effectiveness. As the saying goes, food and fodder must be sent before troops move. I don't need to explain this to you!"

"Speaking of communications, our radio soldiers can't just charge forward with radios on their backs. The transmission of intelligence and information plays a key role in the outcome of a battle!"

"There is also a staff department. Fighting a war is not just about passion. What's more important is the commander's decision. If everyone rushes forward, who will make the strategic plan?"

"So, Xiu Wen, you need to change your mindset!"

"Since you are an expert in minerals, there is a coal mine and an iron mine under Laowang Mountain. We know nothing about mining, so who else can do this?"

"Also, China is very rich in mineral resources, not inferior to some resource-rich countries."

"It's just that our country is weak and cannot explore, let alone mine."

"Don't worry, everything you have learned in your life will definitely be of great use to me!"

"I can't bear to let you go to the battlefield and charge into battle with a gun in hand!"

Lin Tian patted Wu Xiuwen on the shoulder. What a talent! His next plan was to mine the coal and iron ore rewarded by the system.

In the future, we will send troops to retake the mines occupied by the Japanese.

Moreover, he came from later times, so of course he knew about the vast mineral resources that China had in later times.

Let’s not talk about things far away, let’s just talk about our rear area in northern Shaanxi. From today’s perspective, it’s even difficult to grow crops there.

There are mountain ridges everywhere, yellow soil is flying all over the sky, and the people are so poor that they can't be any poorer.

But who would have thought that this land, which was regarded as a barren land by the world, would later be known as the Chinese Kuwait.

Those vast coal fields and oil fields are the treasures left by our ancestors!

There is also Longdi near northern Shaanxi, where the Changqing Oilfield is located.

It’s right in our Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base area!

Lin Tian remembered it clearly. In later generations, people in northern Shaanxi were called aristocrats by the people of Qin Province, and when they went to the provincial capital to buy houses, they bought them by the building.

If you have mines, you have money, and if you have money, you will naturally be arrogant.

It is said that the princes in the Middle East are the richest people in the world just because they have a piece of white cloth on their heads.

Our fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi also wear a white towel on their heads, and they are equally rich.

Since Wu Xiuwen is an expert in mining, we must keep him.

To make a country strong, we need oil and guns!

If we want to transform our current poor agricultural country into a strong industrialized country with a prosperous nation and a strong people, we cannot do without coal and oil.

Especially oil, known as the blood of industry, it is the lifeblood of the country and has great strategic value.

This is also the reason why the United States wants to firmly control the Middle East and link oil to the US dollar.

"Commander, are there really mines under our feet?!"

Wu Xiuwen said in surprise.

Of course he wanted to devote himself to his own field, but now China was losing ground and many mineral resources had been taken away by the Japanese.

Among them are five mines that were previously mined by Wu Xiuwen.

As a result, before many resources were mined, they all went into the Japanese's pockets.

All his decades of hard work were wasted in helping the Japanese.

Relying on these resources, the Japs became stronger, invaded China more greedily, and massacred our people more cruelly.

This is Wu Xiuwen’s concern.

So he didn't want to continue doing his job and decided to go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese!

Lin Tian's words made him feel a little relieved.

Although he also believed that China was a great country and there must be plenty of resources underground.

But facts speak louder than words, China has very few discovered mineral resources.

In addition, foreign experts and institutions have also jumped to the conclusion that we are a resource-poor country.

The Chinese people of this era, due to decades of humiliation, naturally feel that China is not good enough, and the foreign experts are right.

But the Chinese people just don't believe it.

We have always believed that man can conquer nature.

During the Great Flood, the West was anxiously building Noah's Ark at the reminder of God.

But we relied on our own hands and human strength to overcome the flood.

This is the national characteristic of us Chinese.

There are so many colonized and oppressed countries and nations around the world.

However, only we Chinese, with our continuous cultural heritage, were able to transform a country that was in ruins amidst bloodbaths into the world's second largest economy.

We have finally stood up straight and are now confident enough to compete with the United States, the world's number one country.

Our diplomats can tell the Americans face to face that the Americans are not qualified to speak to China from a position of strength.

This kind of thing is unthinkable in this day and age.

Our diplomacy has no strong support, and we are at the mercy of others, bullied and humiliated!

Therefore, the purpose of nation building is not to drive away invaders.

We also need knowledgeable and cultured people to build it.

How could Lin Tian let someone like Wu Xiuwen go to the battlefield?

Even if there is a buff bonus, casualties can be reduced, but this kind of thing is unpredictable.

If one person is injured or killed, it is still an injury or death. But what if that person is Wu Xiuwen?

"Xiu Wen, just do your job with peace of mind. There is a lot to be accomplished in this vast world!"

"Your battlefield is everywhere on the begonia leaves, so don't compete with the soldiers for the devil's dog heads!"

"Just think about it, after we mine these resources, we can use them to make guns and cannons to arm our army!"

"The good days of the devils won't last long, and you deserve a lot of credit for this!"

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Wu Xiuwen finally understood.

I didn't expect his value to be so high.

The so-called revolutionary division of labor is different. He is in the rear, and that is also supporting the war of resistance.

And this is far more than the number of Japanese soldiers he killed alone with a gun.

He had never even touched a gun, so it would be good enough if he could survive on the battlefield. If he wanted to kill the Japanese, that would depend on luck.

"I understand, Commander! Thank you for your guidance!"

Wu Xiuwen said happily.
