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

Facing Director Xu's question, Stationmaster Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

"Actually, the reason we did this was because the steward Qian, who was in charge of transporting supplies from overseas, specifically leaked the news. He said that these supplies were to be used to fight the Japanese invaders, so they were basically sold back home at cost price."

"Oh, there's one more thing. After the freighter arrives at the port and unloads the cargo, they'll also purchase a large amount of supplies and ship them back. Pig bristles, tungsten ore, and tung oil are the most valuable. If we sell them, we'll get a lot of profit."

"It's just that our Military Control Station was established too recently, and the corresponding transportation lines haven't been opened yet, so this area hasn't been utilized yet."

After hearing this, Director Xu immediately discovered a huge business opportunity. If it was handled well, he could immediately make a lot of money.

Now most of China's coastal ports have been occupied by the Japanese, and our domestic exports have been greatly affected. It is very rare to maintain an unobstructed export channel at this time. We can use some domestic specialties to exchange for foreign exchange, or simply use them to barter to obtain a large amount of food.

At this moment, Manager Qian walked up to the podium with a few followers, and the others sat down as well.

"Good evening, everyone. This time, we brought back nearly 6,200 tons of cargo. We will distribute it today according to the usual practice. Furthermore, according to regulations, 10% of the supplies will be provided to the local garrison to strengthen their defenses."

"First, two hundred tons of cement and ten tons of steel bars. These are what Captain Gu requested last time, and we brought them over this time to build the coastal defense fortress."

The former Regiment Commander Gu, who has now been promoted to Brigade Commander Gu, immediately stood up and saluted everyone after hearing this. He also promised that as long as their brigade was not wiped out, they would never let any Japanese soldiers set foot in Quangang.

Quangang today is different from before. It has both people and supplies, especially those shipped back from abroad, which involve the interests of many forces and have the support of everyone.

A large number of reinforced concrete bunkers were built outside the city, and the troops were expanded several times. The soldiers were well-trained and well-fed, and the morale was high. It would not be an easy task for the Japanese to attack. Without sacrificing thousands of Japanese soldiers, there would be no way out.

Moreover, in recent times, the Japanese devils in various places have no time to care about what is happening here. The main reason is that our base has provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to other local forces and even the troops in the central army who are determined to resist the war.

Many troops have obtained good weapons and enough ammunition, and they will definitely cause trouble for the Japanese in the defense zone. This way they can not only capture more territory, but also gain an excellent reputation. Why not do it?

As long as we can win the battle, we can not only recover the territory occupied by the Japanese, but also obtain a lot of money, which can be used to buy more weapons and ammunition to enhance our strength.

The reason why many local troops previously preferred to fight defensive battles was because this way of fighting saves the most ammunition and is where we have the greatest advantage.

Active attacks require a large amount of ammunition to support them. Once the attack is unfavorable, too much ammunition will be consumed, which will have a great impact on the combat strength of a unit.

At the same time, the guns and ammunition produced by the limited arsenals in the rear will be supplied to the Central Army first. It is almost impossible for other miscellaneous troops to obtain sufficient supplies, which is a big problem.

Fortunately, the level of industrialization in our base has been improved. Many things can be produced, and the output is not small. Although they are not the most advanced, they can be used.

If other troops want to obtain these equipment, they have to rely on their battle records. The harder they fight the Japanese, the more discounts they will get on purchasing supplies later, and the faster their strength will increase.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese, in order to maintain their existing advantage, can only continue to invest large amounts of military supplies and reserves to compete with our troops in consumption.

We have the support of Kong Hao, especially the various top-quality ores that have been transported back, and we have already initially acquired the ability to compete with the enemy in terms of consumption.

There was a Gui army infantry regiment, equipped with a large number of purchased weapons, which paid a huge price to recapture a county town occupied by the Japanese.

Although they only defeated a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet troops, it was still a major victory, and the Fifth War Zone specially reported and commended it.

But that night, about a thousand rabbits, twenty wild boars, ten bison, and eighty goats appeared directly at the Gui Corps’ base, causing chaos throughout the entire regiment.

However, all the soldiers hope to have as many good things as possible, and this has never happened in this regiment before.

This was also what Kong Hao did deliberately, just to tell everyone that as long as the troops fight against the Japanese, they will receive rewards from their ancestors.

And now it's not just those wild animals. He has opened a large number of farms in Kangaroo Country, raising a large number of broiler chickens and laying hens, as well as hundreds of thousands of fat pigs. In the future, these can be delivered to all parts of China through space.

Since there are even bison, it is not surprising that there are some domesticated chickens and pigs.

As this kind of thing happens more and more, more and more people will believe that as long as they fight against the invaders and defend their country, everything is possible.

Manager Qian continued, "We've brought back sixty military radios this time. You told me about this last time. To avoid damaging the relationship, you should split it equally. The price will be paid in tungsten ore or tung oil, as we agreed on last time."

Everyone present was very happy to hear that so many radios were obtained at once. After all, radios were very useful and extremely scarce, especially for troops like the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army who had no import channels.

The Guangxi Army and the Guangdong Army are better off. After all, they are close to the border and have imported a lot before. Although the prices are relatively high, at least there are import channels.

The ten radios can be considered a significant contribution, especially for the Sichuan Army. If they are brought back, at least the ten infantry regiments will have military radios for timely communication.

"Also, we've specially acquired the equipment and ammunition for an anti-aircraft machine gun company this time. If the Japanese attack Quangang in the future, they will definitely deploy a large number of aircraft, so we must be prepared in advance."

"This anti-aircraft machine gun company will directly support the garrison in Quangang to strengthen the defensive capabilities here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the place suddenly exploded like a pot of boiling water, and everyone started talking among themselves.

The previous ones were just appetizers, but the anti-aircraft machine gun company in front of us is a good thing, and it cannot be produced domestically. It is also the most urgently needed by a unit.

The enemy's aircraft have always had an absolute advantage, and our troops, lacking effective air defense measures, have basically been passively bombed.

Now, hearing that they could get anti-aircraft machine guns from abroad, everyone present was extremely surprised.
