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

In fact, Minister Zhang also knew that there was such a place, but it was his first time here. After going through numerous inspections, the two finally arrived inside the base.

This is a secret base built underground. The houses on the ground are used to conceal their existence. All the key buildings are underground. Even if someone accidentally breaks in here, they will not discover the secrets here in a short time.

"Minister Zhang, this base has only built a rough area and is being expanded every day. However, the resources consumed are terrifying. We have five large cement plants in our industrial zone, one of which is dedicated to providing cement for this base."

"In the future, a lot of secret research work in the industrial zone will be carried out here. The main equipment includes three complete sets of industrial mother machines and five sets of the most advanced laboratory equipment in the world. In order to provide electricity for the secret base, we have also built two thermal power stations nearby."

"According to my plan, even if our industrial zone is discovered by the Japanese in the future and a large number of Japanese planes bomb it, causing heavy losses to the factories on the ground, as long as our underground base is still there, we can quickly resume production and replenish the lost industrial equipment."

"Also, when we were building this secret base, we considered the possibility of bombing by the Japanese. The top is made entirely of reinforced concrete, and is divided into two layers. Even if the Japanese planes use a half-ton aerial bomb to hit it directly, they can only blow up our outermost protective layer and cannot damage any of our equipment inside."

"In this regard, we have also personally conducted tests using high explosives of the same power, which is also the confidence that we can face all challenges in the future."

After hearing this, Minister Zhang immediately said excitedly: "Okay, Xiao Kong, you are really thoughtful. To be honest, you really gave us a reassurance. If the leaders knew this news, I don't know how happy they would be."

"You may not know that since we have established two large industrial zones, the head of the headquarters is most worried that once our only industrial base is discovered by the Japanese intelligence personnel, it will be easy to suffer a large-scale attack from the enemy."

"The Japanese army is not bad. With the current strength of our army, we are not afraid even if they withdraw 500,000 troops. At most, we will fight a war of attrition with the enemy. The arsenal can produce a large number of weapons every day. In addition, the weapons and ammunition we have been storing for some time are enough for us to fight several major battles."

"Moreover, the Japanese troops were limited, and a large number of them were tied up in other battlefields. We also launched the attack in a timely manner. So far, the progress is relatively smooth. With the support of a large number of weapons and ammunition, all fronts have achieved great results."

"The Japanese want to mobilize a large number of troops to besiege our core base, but it is impossible to do so in a short period of time. In addition, our large number of armed work teams distributed behind enemy lines can also tie down a large number of enemy garrisons."

"But these planes in the sky are our biggest headache. They fly in the sky, drop bombs and then leave. No matter how powerful our positions on the ground are, we can't reach them."

"Some time ago, we tested the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion you sent to the headquarters, and the results were very good. We finally have an anti-aircraft weapon, so we don't have to be attacked all the time without being able to fight back."

"But this kind of anti-aircraft weapon can only target a small number of enemy aircraft. If hundreds of them rush over without caring about their lives, not to mention an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, even ten of them would probably be useless."

"Now, with this arrangement, we feel more at ease. Even if we encounter the worst case scenario, we still have the opportunity to develop again."

After sighing about this, Kong Hao introduced the layout of the secret base:

"Commander, our base is divided into eight areas, named Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, and Huang. The Tian area is the most important. Currently, only the last three have been completed. Research projects include military communication equipment, artillery technology, and tank and armored vehicle technology."

"There are only two types of achievements that we can show off at the moment. One is a military radio that uses technology from Hans Country, but it's not the latest. We are now accumulating some relevant technology."

"The performance of the radio we produced can barely reach the standard of the Japanese brigade-level radio, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future."

When Minister Zhang heard Kong Hao's dissatisfied words, he felt something strange. You know, this is a military radio, which is the most urgently needed equipment for our troops. At present, we can produce it ourselves, but now it seems that Kong Hao despises it.

So he said earnestly: "Xiao Kong, I know you came back from abroad, and you want to benchmark the most advanced technology abroad, but our national conditions are here, and it is impossible to reach that level in a short period of time."

"Take weapons for example. In the past, our troops couldn't even make a decent rifle. Not to mention the 98K rifles currently in service in Hans Country, even the Type rifles of the Japanese were basically captured."

"At that time, we never considered whether the weapons in our hands were suitable or not, or whether they were the most advanced. As long as they could cause damage to the enemy, we would not mind even swords and spears. If we had a few old-fashioned rifles, we would be the main force."

"For example, this kind of scarce military radio, the ones our troops use the most are those captured from the Japanese on the battlefield, and the number is extremely small."

"What I didn't expect was that we could actually develop a military radio on our own. Not to mention that its performance could reach the standards of the Japanese military radios, even if its actual performance was only 80% or even half of that of the enemy, it would still be a milestone for our troops."

"Our troops are now equipped with the latest equipment. In the past, we needed an entire infantry regiment to ambush a squadron of Japanese soldiers with an absolute numerical advantage, and we often couldn't win."

"But now our troops are well-equipped, with sufficient ammunition and good training. It is easy for an ordinary infantry battalion to defeat a squadron of the Japanese. This also means that the combat range of our infantry regiment has been greatly increased. However, our communication equipment is still the same as before. An infantry regiment cannot be allocated a radio station. The infantry battalions and below basically rely on horses for communication, which is very inconvenient when fighting."

"By the way, what is the production volume of this radio station?"
