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

Not to mention a Type 92 infantry artillery battalion. As long as he can bring it back, it will definitely be a great achievement. It is estimated that after he returns this time, his position can be promoted. This is a great achievement that comes to his doorstep.

The most important thing is that this is only one month's share. From what Director Kong said, there will be more later. This is simply too much.

Next, Director Tang bought all the shares without saying a word. Although it cost him nearly 800,000 yuan, it was definitely worth it.

Seeing that things were almost done, Kong Hao smiled and said, "Director Tang, these things together will cost 1.45 million yuan. We need half a month to prepare. When that time comes, you can just send a transport team to the location we specify for transportation."

"Let's go to the hotel in town to rest and have lunch together."

Hearing that the transaction was completed, Director Tang asked anxiously, "Director Kong, I heard that you also provided a field hospital to the Sichuan and Shaanxi armies. We also want to purchase some medical supplies."

All the previous ones were military supplies, and most of the purchases were for military use. They were completely consumables. Before he came, his superiors had specifically instructed him that he also needed to purchase some medical supplies and various civilian products. In addition to being used by the army, they could also be sold to the public to obtain certain profits.

After hearing this, Kong Hao said with a hint of meaning: "But you have already bought things worth 1.45 million yuan. Medical supplies are not cheap."

After hearing this, Director Tang realized that their Gui army had been underestimated, so he quickly said with a smile:

"One million dollars might be a huge sum of money for other factions, but for us in the Guangxi clique, it's just average. This time, the higher-ups have given me a lot of authority, so don't worry, we're not short of money."

Faced with this fat sheep delivered to his doorstep, Kong Hao was not polite and then went to another exhibition area with great interest.

In terms of medical equipment, a large number of various medical devices were purchased, including consumables such as medical alcohol, of which 50,000 bottles were purchased directly, and 10,000 tubes of anesthetics were purchased. The total cost of other miscellaneous items was more than 200,000 yuan.

Kong Hao also generously gave a small discount. If this batch of medical supplies were purchased from the market, the price would at least double, and there were simply not so many of them available.

Next, we bought 5,000 tons of cement for building fortifications, and 2,000 tons of canned food and compressed biscuits.

At the same time, Kong Hao took two people to test the helmets produced in our base. They were also amazed and ordered another 20,000 helmets, plus tactical backpacks, military water bottles, compasses, etc.

Anyway, for Director Tang, the items recommended by Kong Hao are all good things. The most important thing is that these things are cheap. Some are even only 30% of the market price in Guangxi Province. If they are shipped back, he can make a lot of money even if he resells them.

This is another two hundred thousand dollars, which can be described as spending money like water.

However, Kong Hao still decided to give the Gui army some discounts, and it would be best to provide them with something that can make money, so that they will come to buy more things in the future.

So he took the two of them to a small room, pointed at two stones on the exhibition stand and said, "Many times, it is best to develop your own industry. Otherwise, everything else is just castles in the air."

Captain Jiang looked at the two stones in front of him and asked curiously, "Captain Kong, these are two stones. What do they have to do with your talk of developing our own industry?"

Director Tang was in charge of logistics after all. After seeing this, he said doubtfully, "These are two pieces of ore. From what I understand, one should be iron ore, and the other one is currently unidentifiable."

"But this kind of stuff is nothing special. We have quite a lot of it in Guangxi Province. It's just that the iron content is not high, so mining and smelting are very troublesome."

Kong Hao took out a piece of paper from the side, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Director Tang, take a look at this first, I guarantee you will be surprised."

Director Tang took the item with a doubtful look, took a closer look, and then excitedly uttered various praises:

"Oh my god, how could China have such a good thing? This kind of thing shouldn't appear. This is unbelievable."

It was the first time that Commander Jiang had seen Director Tang, who was always known for his composure, lose his composure like this. He quickly asked curiously, "Captain Kong, is this something good? How come I didn't see it? Tell me about it quickly."

Kong Hao smiled first, then said with a hint of meaning: "It seems that Director Tang is an understanding person and understands the importance of these two things. It's better for you to talk about it. If I say it, it will sound a bit like Wang Po selling melons."

Director Tang first calmed down his excitement, then said in an excited tone: "Captain Jiang, you are in the combat unit, you may not know the importance of these two minerals to our logistics troops."

"Let me give you a comparison, and you'll understand why I'm so excited."

"We have quite a few iron ore mines in Guangxi, but the iron content is only 30% to 40%, mainly hematite and limonite. To use an industrial term, these are poor-quality ores, and they are also buried quite deep, making them extremely difficult to mine."

"This is also the reason why our industry in Guangxi Province has not been able to develop. It's mainly because the investment in this area is too high, but the output is still very pitiful."

"But this iron ore is completely different. The iron content is as high as 65%. It's no longer ore. It can be said to be a piece of pig iron, just mixed with other impurities."

Commander Jiang knew nothing about industry. After hearing these figures, he said nonchalantly, "It's just double the iron content, which is just average. It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Director Tang quickly continued to explain, "Industrial steelmaking isn't like this. Let's put it this way. If the difficulty of steelmaking using our Guangxi iron ore is ten, then using this kind of top-grade iron ore would only be three at most."

"This also means lower costs and faster steelmaking. We don't even need a large steel mill. Even a small workshop in a county town can produce decent steel using this level of ore. Even if it can't be used to produce weapons and ammunition, it's excellent for other purposes."

"In modern warfare, the battle is all about logistics and steel. Now you understand why I'm so excited."

"The other kind is even more rare. It's high-quality copper ore, which is used to make bullets and artillery shells. It's also extremely rare in China."

After listening, Captain Jiang immediately understood the importance of these two things. Moreover, since Kong Hao dared to take out the ore for exhibition, it also meant that the Eighth Route Army had found a mineral vein, and a large mineral vein at that. This was really a great thing.
