Travel through the 1945 super power construction secret base

The scientific researchers at the base only raised some minor questions about the tank, and these questions seemed to be raised just to show their usefulness.

However, in order to encourage them, Wang Ze carefully studied the suggestions and screened out some more reliable and practical solutions.

For example, adding equipment such as rear racks to tanks to enhance their combat effectiveness and adaptability.

After many tests and improvements, this tank was finally finalized.

Its appearance is different from that of later tanks. The chassis is not lowered, and the turret armor does not adopt an inclined design. Instead, it appears to be somewhat square. It looks a bit like the Tiger tank during World War II, but is smaller in size.

Due to this unique exterior design, the tank has extremely spacious interior, which can accommodate more fuel and equipment.

The tank is equipped with a huge fuel tank inside, allowing it to travel longer distances than ordinary tanks.

In addition, air conditioning and dehumidification equipment are specially installed to ensure a comfortable and pleasant environment inside the car.

After all, this tank will be sent to fight in Southeast Asia in the future. Without these facilities, the interior of the vehicle would probably be unbearably hot in hot and humid places.

Of course, this appearance design also has some flaws, such as being more likely to become a target of enemy attack.

However, once the entire tank is made of super-light steel, this problem is solved.

The excellent defensive capabilities of super light steel allow it to completely resist attacks even if hit, thus ensuring that the safety performance of the tank is not affected.

Therefore, for this tank, this appearance has become a unique advantage.

After completing the finalization work, Wang Ze's manufacturing process became extremely fast.

In just two days, he successfully built twenty tanks and, under the guidance of weapons experts, produced a large number of artillery shells and tank-top machine gun bullets.

Not only that, he also immediately produced a batch of submachine guns, pistols and a large number of bullets.

These are important materials that can be put into use immediately in the future.

Wang Ze came to the factory for a tour as usual. After confirming that everything was normal, he was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Ma Qi: "Chief Engineer, please wait a moment. There will be a meeting later that requires your attendance. The meeting will discuss matters related to the first commodity fair."

Trade fair? Are you talking about the Canton Fair?

It's already started so early!

"Okay, I'll go right over there now."

While looking at the time, Wang Ze thought to himself that the meeting should start soon.

However, according to his speculation, the people who come to this trade fair should basically be representatives from the Soviet bloc countries and some third world countries.

As for those people from Western countries, they are unlikely to appear here.

After all, those Western countries' opposition to the red power has reached a nearly crazy point.

Wang Ze brought Ma Qi to the venue. The large conference room was already arranged in an orderly manner.

Since it was not time yet, there was no one else in the venue.

They found a random place to sit down, and then Wang Ze said to Ma Qi: "The design drawings of the wheeled truck have been completed. After the meeting, come with me to get them. This task will be entirely yours. I will not be involved. Are you sure you can do it well?"

"Yes, Chief Engineer, please rest assured!" Ma Qi answered confidently.

"Well, very good. Select some workers from Wangjiatun Village and train them to be technicians. Act quickly, otherwise the technical department here will become an empty shell by the time we leave." Wang Ze instructed.

"Okay, I will arrange it immediately and let each of our people lead at least one new employee." Ma Qi responded readily and immediately began to arrange the relevant matters.

All members of the base were aware of the next plans and arrangements, and Wang Ze did not hide anything about these things.

After all, the members of the base are living people, not AI robots. If they want to leave here, they need to deal with many matters and make corresponding arrangements. Otherwise, rash actions may cause their families to suffer in the future.

As the two chatted, time passed quickly and people began to arrive in the office one after another.

Many people looked at Wang Ze curiously, because many of them were seeing Wang Ze for the first time.

After all, Wang Ze would only attend meetings at the main factory, and since he had been focusing on tank manufacturing during this period, large meetings were attended by Ma Qi as his representative.

In recent times, Wang Ze has intentionally promoted many local personnel to higher positions. Even the number of personnel in the security department plus the number of local people has exceeded the number of base members.

These locals have been talked to and understand who gave them the opportunity to advance.

If the big brother doesn't leave at that time, then these people can also become powerful weapons in his hands.

People entered the venue one after another, and Wang Ze led Ma Qi to sit in the front row and wait.

It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that the eldest brother Wang Jixin walked into the meeting place holding a cup.

He went straight to the podium, placed the cup gently on the table, then looked around. When he saw Wang Ze, he paused, as if he had not expected Wang Ze to come to the conference, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After confirming that everyone was present, he cleared his throat and said, "I believe you all already know the purpose of calling everyone here, so I won't go into details. Let's get straight to the point and talk about your opinions on the products brought to this trade fair."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience exploded and everyone started discussing the matter.

"Without a doubt, we have to bring our trucks! Our trucks are far ahead in technology and have an excellent reputation!"

"Come on, how much money do you make from each truck in your truck factory? In my opinion, we should display our airship. What a spectacular scene that would be! It would definitely shock the whole audience!"

Wang Jixin stood on the podium, listening patiently to everyone's arguments.

However, he soon discovered that the representatives from each factory were simply praising their own products, so he decisively waved his hand to stop the discussion and spoke loudly.

"The primary task of participating in this trade fair is to exchange for valuable foreign exchange resources. The development of the country is inseparable from foreign procurement, and as the leader of the national industry, we should show our strength as much as possible. My personal opinion is that as long as the manufacturers are able to participate, they should actively go. If any comrade has a different opinion on this, please speak freely."

When the people below heard what the factory director said, they thought that as long as they didn't miss out on their own factory's products, they all shut up and stopped talking.

However, Wang Ze directly spoke from below: "I support the factory director's idea, but our production of many products is too low, and there is no possibility of external supply. For example, for airships, our production of special rubber materials is very limited, and the monthly production capacity is not even enough for our own use. So my suggestion is that airships don't need to participate."

After Wang Ze said this, everyone suddenly quieted down.

Although he was the chief engineer, he seldom attended such meetings, let alone took the initiative to speak.

If it weren't for the fact that the factory has always had new products and new technologies designed by Wang Ze, they would probably think that the chief engineer is incompetent.

Now that the chief engineer has spoken, those who are not familiar with the situation will naturally find it difficult to refute easily.

There were only five representatives from the airship factory, three of whom were members of the base.

This is a problem, as these people in the airship factory are actually having conflicts among themselves.

"I completely agree with the chief engineer's point of view. The reason why our airship factory's output has not been able to increase is that the supply of our factory's unique rubber materials is insufficient. Even we don't have enough for ourselves, so how can we share the surplus with others! Besides, the ex-factory price of our airship factory is not much higher than that of directly selling light steel. Selling it like this will really be a big loss!"

The head of the technical department of the airship factory said in a firm tone.

In fact, he originally supported allowing the airship to participate in the trade fair, but since the patriarch has spoken, as a member of the underground base, he naturally had to express his support first.

Moreover, when they had just voted internally, there were three votes against exporting the airship. His agreement was a collective opinion, not his personal idea.

The selling price of raw materials is almost the same as the sales price of the airship. Wang Ze is also aware of this abnormal phenomenon.

But the price of the airship cannot be set too high, otherwise consumers might as well use the money they would have spent on the airship to buy a few cars.

Wang Ze understood the reason for this situation, which was the extremely hot sales of light steel to the Soviet Union.

Now the Soviet Union is simply obsessed with this material and wants to use it in everything.

Wang Ze thought that if he could continue to supply the Soviet Union for decades, they would probably no longer be able to do without light steel.
