Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

"I called everyone here this time because I have something to discuss with you!"

As soon as they entered the conference room, martial law was immediately enforced around them, and no one was allowed to approach within a few dozen meters of the room. Chu Feng didn't waste any words and sat down and spoke to everyone.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing this, all the technical and professional personnel sat up straight.

The technical and professional personnel in the room were either hired at high salaries from all over the country or came here on their own initiative, or recruited from the system.

Everyone is engaged in technology, and Chu Feng doesn't like long speeches and prefers to get straight to the point. This has also had an impact on the entire Independent 1st Division, as well as its subordinate factories and government departments. Everyone also likes to be pragmatic rather than unrealistic.

"That's right. Three 14,000-ton free-forging hydraulic presses will be back in a few days."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, everyone who was sitting upright suddenly lost their composure.

"What the hell?!!!"

"A 1.4-ton free-forging hydraulic press?"

"Oh my god!"

"Are you sure it's not a free-forging hydraulic press weighing tens, dozens, or even hundreds of tons?"

"..."

Everyone didn't care about their division commander Chu Feng. They became excited and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Those who are called into this room are naturally familiar with hydraulic presses. If you mention a hydraulic press weighing tens, dozens, or even hundreds of tons, everyone will be surprised and happy at most.

But this is 1.4 tons!

Today, the largest free forging hydraulic press in the world is a 1.5-ton one made in the Bear Country.

The most advanced free forging hydraulic presses abroad are all at the 1.4-ton level, and not everyone owns them, such as the Japanese invaders who invaded China.

"Commander, is this true? You are not lying to us!"

Shi Lei, director of the Military Industry Department and director of the First Arsenal, was the first to react after feeling shocked, suspicious, excited, and incredulous. He stood up excitedly and asked.

Hearing Shi Lei's question, the others did the same, all looking at Chu Feng excitedly, waiting for his answer.

"hehe!"

Chu Feng also understood everyone's excitement. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Why would I lie to you? I'll be back in three days at most."

"hiss!!!"

After getting Chu Feng's confirmation, everyone took a deep breath again, unable to conceal the shock in their eyes.

"1.4-ton open-die forging hydraulic press!"

"This thing is something that only a truly industrialized country can possess, and now we have it too."

"And there were more than one, three at once, oh my god!"

"With this thing, the improvement of our industrial manufacturing capabilities is simply tremendous!"

Hearing everyone's words, Liu Changhe, the head of the Aviation Industrial Park, was even more excited and excited: "Yes, especially the aircraft manufacturing industry!"

"We imported the B-18 bomber from the United States. I was wondering how to produce the fuselage before, but now that we have this, I don't have to worry about that anymore."

Looking at the excited crowd, Chu Feng let them chat for a while before he smiled and clapped his hands: "Pa pa pa pa!"

Everyone was drawn together, and Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "I called everyone here this time to discuss how to distribute these three 1.4-ton free-forging hydraulic presses."

“Also, where should these three hydraulic presses be placed and where should the factory be located?”

Having said this, Chu Feng paused and continued, "In addition to these three hydraulic presses, the relevant operators have also returned, as well as the design drawings, manufacturing process, and production process of this hydraulic press."

"So we need to discuss setting up a department dedicated to designing and digesting this technology. As for 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, these three are enough for now. My idea is to produce a batch of 1,000-ton and 100-ton hydraulic presses."

"At the same time, we will continue to research and develop the 1.4-ton level. This is just the beginning. We will produce 2-ton and 5-ton levels in the future."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, the crowd, who were already feeling emotional and excited, suddenly became even more restless.

"Master!"

Shi Lei spoke up again, "We need one from the arsenal!"

"Here at the Ordnance Factory, we've begun developing large-caliber artillery, as well as tanks and armored vehicles. As the performance of weapons and equipment becomes increasingly advanced, the demand for these things is also increasing."

"As for the establishment of a research institute, I fully agree. I'm not an expert in this field, but I know how hydraulic presses can help industrial manufacturing."

As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, an expert spoke up, "Director Shi, your arsenal produces artillery, firearms, bullets, and the like. Why do you need so many large free-forging hydraulic presses? Hundred-ton or thousand-ton presses are more than enough."

"Isn't it a waste to keep these 1.4 tons with you?"

At this point, the expert looked at Chu Feng and said, "Commander, I think there is a great demand for this in our metallurgical, power and mining industries. We need one."

Shi Lei also knew that what the expert said was true, but who wouldn't want such a good thing?

"You fart!"

Shi Lei blushed and said, "Why doesn't our arsenal need it? Doesn't it need it for national defense?" At this point, Shi Lei looked at Liu Changhe, the person in charge of the Aviation Industry Park, and said directly, "Old Liu, say something, Old Liu!"

Liu Changhe, who was about to start an argument, heard Shi Lei's words and immediately said, "Director Shi is right. Our military industry department also has a demand for a 10,000-ton hydraulic press."

"We want to produce large aircraft and large-caliber artillery, and we can't do without a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, so our Military Industry Department must have one."

For a moment, the whole room was in chaos, and everyone started scrambling to get a 10,000-ton hydraulic press.

"Hehehehe!"

Looking at the noisy crowd, Chu Feng did not stop them, but watched it all with a smile.

When everyone had almost finished arguing, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I can hear your quarrel. Every family wants one, but we only have three."

"Besides, such a powerful weapon of a great power is not cabbage. It is unrealistic to give one to each family."

"Because of some special circumstances, I think this is the way to go!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone sat up straight and said, "We will use these three 10,000-ton hydraulic presses to build three heavy forging plants."

"They are Heavy Forging Plant 1, Heavy Forging Plant 2, and Heavy Forging Plant 3. Plant 1 is affiliated with the military industry department, and its main responsibility is to cooperate with the military industry department in production."

"Factory 2 and Factory 3 are under the management of the Bureau of Light and Heavy Industry. Factory 2 is exclusively used by metallurgy, mining, and machinery manufacturing. Factory 3 is shared by the power, water conservancy, and other departments."

“At the same time, the hydraulic forging machine in Factory 3 is also dedicated to research, teaching and training.”

As soon as Chu Feng said this, the people who were arguing fiercely stopped talking instantly. It was not because of Chu Feng's authority, but because the distribution was very reasonable and took all parties into consideration.

Seeing that no one spoke, Chu Feng's voice continued: "In addition, after the relevant researchers arrive, the three forges and you must cooperate and support."

"Other countries conducted research and development bit by bit, and finally built a 10,000-ton hydraulic press. We are developing in reverse, standing on the shoulders of giants."

"The difficulty has been reduced exponentially, but that doesn't mean it's a one-time solution. On the contrary, we are under time pressure and have a heavy workload."

"I'm looking forward to our development in forging machines. We hope that we can catch up with foreign countries and achieve full product production and research, as well as breakthroughs."

"We are not in a hurry to make breakthroughs. We will strive to use hydraulic presses of 100, 1,000, or even several thousand tons that we manufacture by the end of this year or early next year."

"For the sake of development, on behalf of the Jinsui Chaji Special City, I declare that we will allocate 1000 million yuan for research and manufacturing."

"Once we have mastered it thoroughly, it will mean that we are qualified to become a manufacturing and industrial powerhouse, and this requires everyone to work together and bring into play their ingenuity."

After listening to Chu Feng's words, everyone applauded excitedly. Everyone was supported by Chu Feng's big pie, and their faces were full of longing for the future.
