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

Chapter 543: Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the can

The reason why we do this is very simple. First of all, regarding the special forces, there is no problem at all.

Many tactics of the special forces team are still being summarized, and except for the Xingtian special forces team led by Kong Hao, the other graduated special forces teams are not as powerful as everyone imagines.

The combat effectiveness of a special operations team of twelve people is equivalent to that of an infantry company. When conducting special operations behind enemy lines, the results achieved are similar to those of an infantry battalion.

Although the task can be completed well, it is still very difficult to take the head of a general from among thousands of soldiers.

If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wants to learn, it is not impossible. As long as they can afford the price, they can train a team. At least it can prevent the Second War Zone Headquarters from being attacked by the Japanese special forces.

After all, they are all China's national defense forces. Once the Second War Zone Command suffers too many casualties, the overall strength of China will also be lost.

As for selling iron ore, that is even simpler. Since we cannot use it all for the time being, we can definitely sell the ore and make money. Iron ore of this quality is simply a treasure bestowed upon us Chinese by God.

As long as it is dug out, there will be no worries about sales. It can be sold not only to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but also to other local armies, and even to some small civilian smelters.

These days, what China lacks most is steel. Even steel of lower quality or pig iron is in extreme shortage. The main reason is that the quality of our iron ore is too poor, and it is difficult to remove impurities from the ore.

Now, we have at least tens of millions of tons of top-quality iron ore with an iron content of 58%, which can be used for iron or steel making. This will greatly enhance China's overall industrial strength.

For example, the grenade shells produced in other bases, as long as they are cast with this high-quality iron ore, their lethality will be at least doubled.

The most important thing is that the reserves of this top-quality iron ore can reach tens of millions of tons, which is enough for us to use for more than ten years, so even if a little is wasted, it won’t matter much.

But if our country's pig iron and steel production can reach one million tons, we can completely withstand all attacks from the Japanese, and even take the initiative to attack the cities where the Japanese are stationed and recover our lost territories.

Kong Hao had read the information from later generations. In 1940, the pig iron production in the Kuomintang-controlled areas was tons, and the steel production was 1500 tons, which was shockingly low.

At that time, the Japanese had a steel production capacity of 686 million tons, and we didn't even have a fraction of theirs. This was our true situation at the time, and it was a desperate gap.

Fortunately, Kong Hao came. After such a long period of planning, the Eighth Route Army's steel production was able to reach about 20 tons, which had narrowed a large gap with the enemy, but was still far behind.

Fortunately, this kind of top-quality iron ore has been discovered, and the next explosion in steel production is just around the corner.

The next morning, Chu Yunfei received a secret message from Commander Yan, asking him to quickly bring back the high-quality iron ore.

"Brother Yunlong, let's say goodbye now. See you later!"

"Brother Yunfei, take care. Please come often in the future."

To be honest, Li Yunlong was still a little reluctant to see Chu Yunfei leave, mainly because there were still many things that had not been sold.

However, he immediately thought of the endless supply of steel in the Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone, and he immediately laughed out loud.

The next thing was simple. Zhao Jiayu concentrated all his efforts on digging iron ore. A small portion of it was smelted into steel ingots, and most of it was directly loaded onto trucks and transported to various parts of the country.

It is estimated that within two months, the Japanese invaders everywhere will have a great time. Most of the sudden increase in China's pig iron and steel production, which is more than ten times the original amount, will be used to target the Japanese invaders. Let us wait and see.

Lin Zixuan, male, 25 years old, is an overseas Chinese living in Kangaroo Country. He has been working on cargo ships for a long time. His position is third engineer, which can only be regarded as a team leader of the engine department. Below him are some mechanics who actually operate the machines.

Even though he was just a small third engineer, this was the best position a Chinese could get on a foreign cargo ship. Important positions above that were basically reserved for white people and it was impossible for Chinese people to get them.

And even though Lin Zixuan was always cautious on the ship, he was still often ostracized because he did not have a strong motherland to support him.

A few days ago, he had a conflict with the second engineer on the ship because of their different skin colors, which led to the chief engineer and the captain specifically targeting him. Ultimately, Lin Zixuan was fired.

At that time, Lin Zixuan behaved quite manly and did not argue or beg on the spot, as that would be useless except causing ridicule.

No one cares about the truth of the matter. China is too weak, while the Kangaroo Country is one of the great powers. All Chinese and overseas Chinese have no status at all in this foreign country.

It was better before. Although the National Government didn't care much about things, it was still a huge country after all, and those foreign devils didn't dare to bully us excessively. But since the Japanese invaded, most of our country's territory was lost, and all our compatriots overseas have suffered.

After all, in the eyes of the great powers, the Japanese were only a second-rate country. With China in such a state, the Chinese living abroad had no status or dignity at all.

"Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon."

It’s a pity that China cannot even produce a decent cannon at the moment, which makes all the great powers look down on it.

After Lin Zixuan left, several other mechanics also chose to leave angrily. After all, they had Lin Zixuan's protection before and could speak up when they had grievances. But in this situation now, if they stayed reluctantly they would only have to endure endless humiliation.

However, it was precisely because of this impulsive act that it brought great trouble to seven or eight families.

Although it is hard work to go out to sea with a ship, the income is also high. An ordinary mechanic can earn about twelve Australian pounds a month, and Lin Zixuan, a third engineer, can earn twenty Australian pounds, which is enough for the whole family to survive.

He originally thought that with his rich experience and superb skills, he should be able to find a job of the same position quickly.

However, they didn't expect that the second engineer also had a certain influence in the local area. At the same time, the captain and the chief engineer also chose to take action to ban them in the entire industry.

Although there are still many local overseas Chinese working in the shipping industry, everyone is very united. However, they generally have very low positions and have no say at all.

In the end, even if Lin Zixuan wanted to find the most ordinary mechanic job, no one wanted him, and his family's source of income was completely cut off. With no other choice, the family of five went out to do odd jobs to barely keep the family from starving to death.

This morning, he went to the city's largest job market again, ready to see if there were any seafarers being recruited. If that didn't work, he would have to go to a factory and work as a screwdriver.

Although it's only six to eight Australian pounds a month, I can't care about that now. I just have to keep my family alive first.

He did not regret his impulsiveness, but he felt a little sorry for having implicated his brothers.
