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

Chapter 561 Xiao Kong, you can actually get a warship?

Originally, the two thought that the quantity mentioned by Manager Qian was small, just a few hundred kilograms, or no more than one ton at most, but he offered fifty tons of steel ingots and fifty tons of copper ingots.

You should know that the annual production capacity of the steel mills that are still under the control of the Kuomintang in China does not exceed 10,000 tons, and many of them are produced in small workshops.

Of course, this does not include the steel plant in our base, which is top secret and most people don’t know about it at all.

As for the copper mines, let alone the total, the maximum output is only about 1,500 tons. This is equivalent to obtaining one thirtieth of the annual output.

At this time, Chief of Staff Niu calculated in his mind that one bullet requires 20 grams of copper. If it is tons, wouldn’t it be possible to produce million bullets?

My God, this is a huge amount of ammunition. Even the entire ammunition stock of the 194th Division combined is not as much.

Chief of Staff Niu's heart began to tremble when he thought that each soldier in their division would get more than a hundred rounds of bullets, and this was just the amount for a one-time transaction.

If they trade eight or ten times a year, they can gain things that are beyond their imagination.

At this time, Captain Gu asked another question: "Manager Qian, can you help our troops get some radios back?"

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Niu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Captain Gu in his heart. It was a good question, and it would be difficult for him to ask given his status, so it would be best for Captain Gu to ask it.

The main thing is that the relationship is in place, so even if something goes a little out of line, there will be no embarrassment, and what they want is what their 194th Division urgently needs.

"Here it comes. After waiting for so long, I finally asked this question."

At this moment, Qian Yu’s mind was constantly shouting, after laying the groundwork for so long, the other party finally asked the key question.

You know, military radios are very sensitive military supplies, unlike basic daily necessities such as food and canned food. Even if more are transported, they will not attract the attention of those interested.

But if it is to provide military supplies for local garrisons, it is completely different. We use this as a cover to secretly purchase various military supplies for our troops, especially military radio stations, which are the most urgently needed equipment for the troops.

Qian Yu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Of course you can, but this kind of thing cannot appear on the public list. We can only trade it secretly, including the copper and iron mines before."

"Manager Qian, there is absolutely no problem. We will take care of this matter and we will definitely get it done properly."

Next, the two sides discussed some details and then separated.

It was not until eleven o'clock the next morning that all the supplies were finally unloaded from the freighter. After Manager Qian settled the wages with others and paid the corresponding food, the transaction was completed.

There was another good news for the Sancai Gang. When the grain merchants in Quangang City saw so much grain coming in all of a sudden and opened grain stores in the city, the price of grain dropped by 30% that day, allowing the Sancai Gang to earn a lot of money and also allowing the surrounding people to benefit a lot.

Especially those seamen who were not short of money, spent a whole day rushing into the market to buy things. They bought everything they saw, especially some handicrafts, such as various small things woven with bamboo, or things carved with wood, which were loved by everyone.

And the price is not expensive, basically just one or two dollars, so people will definitely buy in large quantities.

As a port city, Quangang has received a large number of foreign crew members before. It is well aware of the situation and has made targeted preparations.

Of course, the locals didn't specifically ask for a high price. No one would do something stupid like draining the pond to catch fish.

All in all, the arrival of this freighter has brought benefits to many people, and it has also enhanced China's strength a little.

When this ship returned, the second one was actually on the way. The two ships were only four days apart, and the carrying capacity of this ship had reached 6,000 tons. In addition to 3,000 tons of flour, there were also 1,000 tons of soybeans, and some miscellaneous items.

Many of the supplies on the ship are urgently needed by our base. Now that the transportation lines have been opened, we can transport them back in various ways to enhance the strength of our troops.

Kong Hao also learned the specific situation through the radio, and he felt relieved. As long as the transportation line was opened, he would be able to take it out directly from the space in the future.

But he doesn't have time to take care of these things today, as he is receiving a very important leader.

Minister Zhang received all the detailed information about the transportation of materials on the cargo ship from the logistics personnel and felt that this model was very good. He came here mainly to discuss with Kong Hao what materials to transport next, and their logistics department would fully cooperate.

Although half of the 5,000 tons of supplies were left in Quangang City, the remaining food and most of the canned food were used to open checkpoints, and the logistics department only transported away the 1,000 tons of ore, this was already a remarkable achievement.

After this kind of thing goes smoothly the first time, the rest will be easy, and large amounts of supplies can be shipped back from abroad continuously.

Minister Zhang said happily: "Xiao Kong, we have received the goods. To be honest, the plan is going very smoothly. It can be said that the completion has exceeded our expectations."

"And we have already completed all the preparations as you instructed before. Now tell us about your plan and we will be ready to cooperate."

"Minister Zhang, according to our current transportation capacity, there will be a ship approaching Quangang every three days, mainly carrying some food, cloth and various raw materials."

"Also, it would be best if we could occupy a small port in the coastal area. Then we can find a way to transport the cargo from the large ship to a small boat, and then use the small boat to transport it ashore. This is safer."

"After all, Quangang is someone else's territory. It's easy to be controlled by others. If something unexpected happens, our losses will be huge."

After hearing this, Minister Zhang nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Kong, it seems that we two have the same idea. This kind of thing that is controlled by others cannot last long. We must develop routes in many aspects."

Kong Hao continued, "We can also drive the cargo ship to Xiangdao, use our status as Niuniu country nobles to unload the cargo there, and then get some small boats of several hundred tons and transport the supplies back to our base in the way that ants move."

"At the same time, we can train a large number of our sailors. If there is a chance, we can also form our own navy in the future."

Minister Zhang discovered an important message from this sentence, so he asked anxiously:

"Xiao Kong, from what you said, your family can also get a navy ship?"
