Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Hearing this, Kong Hao felt relieved. In fact, he also wanted to meet the legendary Li family. In the future, there would be many things that would require the transportation of supplies through the connections in the concession.

Basically, ordinary supplies can be transported through the Li family's connections, and more important supplies will be transported by ourselves. In addition, Dafengtang can also help a lot, but that is a matter for the future.

After the two separated, Kong Hao went to the warehouse and rented two warehouses, preparing to exchange some machinery and equipment and put them in them.

"Brother Tongzi, help me calculate the merit points for rescuing Zhou Baoguo."

"As you command, Commander."

"During the rescue operation, a total of 1244 Japanese soldiers and Special High Section agents were killed, earning merit points."

"The remaining merit is: points, and the current progress is: /."

Seeing that there were so many merits, Kong Hao decided to exchange for more machinery and equipment used in the arsenal, and then find a way to transport them back to the base through the Eighth Route Army's transportation lines.

"Brother Tongzi, please help me exchange for a set of the most accurate industrial machine tools on Blue Star before the end of the war, including lathes, milling machines, grinders, grinding machines, and lathes."

"Commander, one thousand merit points are required."

Upon hearing that a set of the most advanced industrial mother machine equipment only cost one thousand merit points, Kong Hao quickly purchased another set, spending a total of two thousand points.

The reason why it is so cheap is that this thing is the most advanced on the current Blue Planet, but it is just average for the system, probably similar to ordinary machine tools.

All of a sudden, Kong Hao felt like he had made a great bargain. At the same time, he decided to find a way to increase the number of industrial machine tools in the arsenal after returning to the base.

The so-called industrial mother machine is a high-precision industrial equipment that can be used to produce machine tools.

The punching machines and milling machines we usually get are basically old, with many problems when used, and the parts are basically shoddy.

However, if our arsenal has high-precision industrial mother machines, we can produce machine tools with the next level of precision. At the same time, it also means that we have the ability to develop our own machine tools and can produce any machine tools we want according to our needs. This is a great progress.

To make an inappropriate analogy, the highest precision machine tool in Hans country is currently 0.1 mm, and it can produce lathes with a processing accuracy of 0.2 mm, while the processing accuracy of our old machine tools is about 3 mm to 5 mm. This is the gap, a gap that we can never make up by purchasing.

Even if we have enough funds to purchase advanced machine tools from Hans, at most we can only buy those with a processing accuracy of 1 mm. The processing accuracy of the machine tools produced by such machine tools can only reach about 2 mm at best.

For any industrial power, the highest and second-highest grade machine tools are prohibited from being sold abroad, which is a symbol of a country's industrial strength.

To be honest, we in China have never had an industrial mother machine. All the machines are backward equipment purchased from abroad.

Although being able to produce equipment was a very good improvement for the Eighth Route Army, it could only simply process products with larger tolerances.

If it is a cannon barrel or a car engine, which are parts and equipment that require high precision, it is simply impossible to produce them. Even if they are produced with difficulty, they cannot achieve the corresponding design performance.

The industrial mother machines that Kong Hao exchanged from the system can control the accuracy within 0.05 mm. They can be used to produce machine tools with an accuracy of 0.1-0.2 mm, which can also lay the most solid foundation for China's industrialization.

At the same time, as long as these industrial mother machines are debugged in the arsenal, the previously formulated plan can be implemented. We can produce enough machinery and equipment to open various modern factories in the major bases of the Eighth Route Army.

And as long as this transportation line is opened, Kong Hao can completely exchange a large number of production lines through the system. Not to mention that they are all shipped back from abroad, this can also serve as a cover-up.

If we just expand the arsenal, this target will be too big and difficult to defend, so we have to adopt a strategy of expanding everywhere and open a large number of factories in other bases. As for the power, we can use the old-fashioned steam engine.

Anyway, Shanxi Province is full of coal and there is no shortage of fuel. As long as we find a way to transport these industrial mother machines back and produce high-standard equipment parts, we can still improve the relevant performance.

The most important thing is that this is the only way for us to conduct self-research. Now the foreign transportation channels are basically closed. Except for Kong Hao, the rest can’t buy good things even if they have money.

At the same time, as long as we transport these devices back through our own channels, he can then redeem them from the system openly and place them near the county town near the base, and everything will go smoothly.

This is why Kong Hao led his team all the way to Tianjin. Once the relevant transportation lines are opened, we can continuously obtain various machinery and equipment to enhance the overall strength of our troops.

"Brother Tongzi, how do I exchange for the American-made M18 57mm recoilless rifle?"

"One merit can be exchanged for a gun. If it's a special cannonball, one merit can be exchanged for 1 rounds."

After hearing the price, Kong Hao felt quite satisfied, and this kind of thing is exactly what our troops urgently need.

At present, the Japanese have built a large number of artillery towers around our base in an attempt to trap our Eighth Route Army. However, the number of our Type 92 infantry guns that can destroy the enemy's sturdy artillery towers is too small.

Although Kong Hao had tried every possible way to exchange Type 92 infantry guns for the troops during this period, the number did not exceed fifty, with only a few more shells. Even if the ones captured by the troops before were added, it was estimated that there would be less than a hundred guns in total.

The current Eighth Route Army can easily mobilize hundreds of regiments, but not a single regiment can be assigned to a branch. It's really tragic.

According to rumors, the Japanese troops were equipped with at least 4,000 Type 92 infantry guns. This number really makes people feel a little despair.

However, now that we have this recoilless gun, the "cage tactics" formulated by the Japanese are probably going to be ruined.

With the power of the recoilless gun, the simple artillery towers of the Japanese would probably become garbage that would be killed by one shot. Of course, if there were more powerful ones, a few more shots would be enough to kill them.

From now on, all of the Japanese's artillery towers will become storage places for our troops' weapons and equipment, and we can take them away at any time whenever we need them.

The biggest advantage of this weapon is its lightness. It weighs only 22.7 kilograms and has an effective range of 450 meters. It can fire high-explosive bombs at the Japanese artillery towers from a safe distance.

"Brother Tongzi, help me exchange twenty M18 recoilless guns and 1000 rounds of high-explosive ammunition."

"Yes, Commander. I need 60 merit points."
