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

After hearing this, Kong Hao nodded. When performing a mission outside, there are enemies everywhere around them. The nerves of the special forces members are tense. They probably even sleep with one eye open and one eye closed. The slightest movement will wake them up immediately to defend themselves.

Now that I'm back home, it's time to have a good rest.

Just like that, when Kong Hao gave the order to disband, all the members of the special forces team took a shower, and then fell asleep on their beds without even eating.

The next morning, at the special operations team training base, the brigade commander read out the commendation order issued by the head of the headquarters to all the special operations teams. The entire Xingtian Special Operations Team was awarded the collective special merit, and Kong Hao was awarded the individual special merit.

However, due to the special circumstances of the special forces, their combat achievements are kept confidential and cannot be made public until the time for decryption.

In fact, every special forces member has a large stack of merit certificates, which are kept in the team members’ personal storage rooms. They can only be taken out and admired when they are free.

In addition to the commendation order, various treatments of the special forces have also been improved. Now the lowest rank of special forces members is platoon leader, and half of them are company commanders.

After finishing all this, Kong Hao handed over the materials brought back this time to Factory Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin. Of course, he also asked the brigade commander to participate, after all, the special operations team still belonged to the Taiyue Military Region.

He first took out two specially made backpacks, took out the things wrapped in oil paper, and placed them on the table in the conference room:

"Leaders, these were seized when we eliminated the Axe Gang. The gold and dollars were too heavy, so we handed them over to our comrades in Tianjin. We brought back the other foreign currencies."

"There are thirty-two thousand pounds, twenty-one thousand dollars, and eighty-seven thousand yen here."

"By the way, there is also a large bag of gold, silver and jewelry. We don't know the exact value, so we brought it back."

It was the first time that the three bosses present heard someone dislike the weight of gold and was unwilling to carry it. But think about it, only the powerful Xingtian Special Forces would have the confidence to say this.

However, the total amount of these banknotes is not a small amount, and it is also a large sum of money for the Eighth Route Army.

"Commander, please hand these foreign currencies over to the headquarters so that I don't have to make another trip, which is too troublesome."

After a brief thought, Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin understood why Kong Hao did this, and then they all gave him a thumbs up. This is the way of the world.

To be honest, as the captain of the Xingtian Special Forces and the chief consultant of the arsenal, Kong Hao has made countless contributions. Due to his special identity, most of his contributions cannot be made public.

The special forces team handing over such a large sum of money can only be regarded as icing on the cake, but it is different for the brigade commander. If it was handed over by the Taiyue Military Region, the meaning would be different.

This can be considered a great achievement. At least in the future, when the troops under the military region go to the logistics department to ask for supplies, everyone will be more friendly to them. This is a huge favor.

The brigade commander was also a little moved at this time and said: "Xiao Kong, then I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone in the military region. I owe you a favor."

When Kong Hao heard the brigade commander say this, he quickly replied politely: "Commander, you don't have to be so polite to me. After all, I am your subordinate, and the 386th Brigade is also my family. All the captured items must be returned to the public. I have this awareness."

"By the way, Director, Political Commissar, my family has brought back a large amount of machinery and equipment from abroad. They have now arrived in Yangquan. Here is the delivery list. If you have time, please arrange for a transport team to bring the items back."

After saying this, he took out a large stack of papers from his pocket and handed them to Director Ren.

After Director Ren took over, he was extremely happy. The arsenal was currently undergoing expansion and was in short supply of various machines and equipment. This was a timely relief.

He handed the pick-up list to Political Commissar Qin and asked him to coordinate the transportation of materials with Minister Zhang of the Logistics Department.

Next, Kong Hao and others went to visit the mortar and grenade launcher production line. It is currently in the trial production stage, and Kong Hao, the chief consultant of the arsenal, is needed to see if there are any deficiencies.

Because the arsenals are now scattered and far away from each other, in order to save time, everyone chooses to ride bicycles.

Subsequently, the Logistics Department purchased a large amount of rubber from Southeast Asia, and the output of the arsenal's bicycle factory increased sharply, and now has reached a monthly output of about 3,000 bicycles.

Because most of the parts are cast by primitive methods, and only some key components are made of high-quality steel produced by our own steel mills, this kind of bicycle is definitely not as good as those produced by large foreign factories in terms of comprehensive performance, and it may break down after three to five years of use.

However, our troops are not pursuing quality now, as long as the quantity is sufficient. After all, if we continue to develop in this way, the arsenal will definitely become a behemoth in a few years, and then we will have as many bicycles as we want.

Currently, we can produce 3,000 bicycles a month, which is not too much, but not too little either.

If we calculate based on the one hundred regiments of the army, we can get thirty vehicles a month, which means three hundred and sixty vehicles a year, which can completely solve many of the army's transportation problems.

However, bicycles are now in great demand. Not only are they needed by the army, but there is also a huge demand locally. As soon as they are produced, they are immediately shipped away and cannot stay in the arsenal for a moment.

Kong Hao rode on the bicycle and found that the bicycle under his butt was much more comfortable than the initially produced ones. It seemed that it had undergone relevant adjustments later.

Seeing this, he was extremely happy. In fact, there was no shortage of talent in the arsenal, but only a lack of corresponding equipment.

The current situation is the best example. While pursuing the quantity of bicycles, we must also make riders as comfortable as possible.

After they arrived at the artillery factory, they found that this place was very hidden. There were many big trees around it and various factory buildings were located among them, giving people a unique feeling of staggered beauty.

Director Ren quickly explained: "This artillery factory is a little far from the core area of our arsenal, for the purpose of concealment. Fortunately, our area is relatively large, and except for the long distance, everything else is an advantage."

The brigade commander also added: "With the weapons and ammunition supplies from the arsenal, our troops have continuously expanded their base. This month alone, we have captured almost two counties of the Japanese. The safety of the arsenal is also guaranteed to a certain extent."

"As long as we have this arsenal, no matter how heavy the losses of the troops are, as long as they receive timely replenishment, they can recover their combat effectiveness in a short time. This is our confidence."

After that, the three of them stepped into the artillery assembly workshop. The person in charge of the workshop hurried over from somewhere else because he received a visit from the factory director and the general consultant.

"Chief Consultant, you are back. With you in the arsenal, I feel more at ease. By the way, I still have many problems encountered in the production process and I would like to ask you for advice."
