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

After the meeting, everyone left excitedly.

Only people from the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau, as well as Shi Lei, director of the Military Industry Department, and Liu Changhe, deputy director, were left.

“After the 10,000-ton hydraulic press comes back, it’s impossible to start construction of three factories at the same time.”

Looking at the people present, Chu Feng's voice rang out, "So, let's first concentrate our efforts to build the Heavy Forging Factory 1."

"We have accumulated experience through the construction of Plant 1. At the same time, at present, our military industry has the highest demand for 10,000-ton hydraulic presses."

"By building the first plant, we will accumulate experience and train qualified personnel. After the first plant is completed, we will build plants 2 and 3."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Zhu Kailong, the director of the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau, and said, "Director Zhu, although Factory 1 is not under the jurisdiction of the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau, the construction is led by the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau."

"Once the personnel are in place, the Heavy Forging Research Institute will also be under the jurisdiction and management of the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau."

Upon hearing Chu Feng's arrangement, Zhu Kailong, director of the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau, nodded vigorously and said, "Commander, don't worry!"

Zhu Kailong is not a system figure. He is a big shot in mechanical manufacturing recruited from China. He once studied in Hans and obtained a doctorate in mechanical engineering.

After graduation, he returned to China to teach and was also hired by the government to hold some positions. However, for some reasons, he was recruited by Chu Feng to serve as the director of the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau to coordinate the development of light and heavy industries.

He will serve as the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering in the comprehensive university that is currently being prepared.

"hehe!"

Chu Feng was relieved about Director Zhu. He chuckled and said, "Besides the matter of the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, there are a few more things I want to talk to you about."

"First, we have a batch of new tanks arriving. These tanks are very advanced. My idea is that both our Industrial Bureau and the Military Industry Department should mobilize their best personnel to see if they can study the tanks and reverse-engineer the technology."

"Secondly, we must hurry up and fire the two remaining 150mm self-propelled guns."

"Secondly, a large cigarette factory is coming back soon." Chu Feng continued to look at Director Zhu and said, "This cigarette factory produces 100 billion cigarettes a year. Cigarettes are a big industry."

"I hope that while the Industrial Bureau is building the cigarette factory, they can see if they can replicate and reverse-engineer the machinery here to produce more. By then, we can build several more cigarette factories."

When Director Zhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he established his own cigarette factory through various channels after taking office, these were semi-manual cigarette factories.

The arrival of this large cigarette factory will allow tobacco manufacturing to develop and become a continuous cash cow. At the same time, according to Chu Feng's requirements, this will also stimulate the development of the machinery manufacturing industry.

"No problem, Commander!"

Director Zhu answered loudly again.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng's voice continued to ring out, but this time he was speaking to Liu Changhe, saying, "Deputy Director Liu, similarly, we've also returned with 200 complete sets of parts for P-47 fighter planes."

"I have two requests. First, your aviation industrial park must assemble these 200 P-47 fighter planes."

"Secondly, I hope to utilize reverse engineering capabilities during assembly and production to absorb and learn their technologies and apply them to the production and design of our own aircraft."

Liu Changhe didn't expect that they had another surprise here, and immediately said: "Commander, don't worry, leave it to me!"

At present, the Aviation Industrial Park is working hard on only two products, one is the La-7 fighter jet that is about to be launched, and the other is the primary trainer aircraft.

Only the aircraft production lines purchased by the Soviet Union absorbed the technology of the La-7 fighter and the CJ-5 fighter, and then modified these production lines to produce their own finalized and researched aircraft.

But independent research and design takes time, even if it is modified based on the JJ-5, it still takes time.

The best way for the Aviation Industrial Park to achieve success is to roll out new aircraft.

Now 200 sets of complete parts for P-47 fighter jets have arrived, which can be regarded as the second flagship product of the aviation industrial park.

After the production of the La-7 fighter and P-47 fighter, the fighter developed by itself can also be rolled off the production line, and the B-18 bomber purchased from the United States can also be rolled off the production line.

In this way, they will have three or more flagship products, and their pressure will be relieved.

After the meeting, Chu Feng went about his business.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Feng finished his breakfast.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the people from the National Government had not arrived yet, so Major General Zhang arrived.

"General Zhang!"

Looking at this old acquaintance, Chu Feng personally greeted him at the door, saluted with a smile, and then shook hands.

"General Chu, congratulations, congratulations!"

Major General Zhang was somewhat tired. He had slept late the previous night because of this batch of weapons and equipment.

After the group entered the reception room of the division headquarters and sat down, Major General Zhang said without further ado, smiling, "General Chu, when we came here, our superiors told me that they hoped to order a batch of artillery from you."

"Of course, if you don't have stock, we can wait, as long as we can deliver all of them by the end of the year."

Major General Zhang did not hide anything and said, "Because of your relationship with Mao Zedong, the price of weapons and equipment purchased from Mao Zedong is much lower, while it costs us a lot to buy them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng and others' eyes suddenly lit up.

Second-rate dealer!

Am I a second-hand dealer?!

Good job on middlemen!

Of course, it’s not just middlemen, first-hand dealers are also acceptable!

The arsenal has now mass-produced 60mm mortars, 82mm and 120mm mortars, and will complete delivery by the end of the year. Once the arsenal is fully operational to meet its own needs, it can sell them to other countries.

At the same time, the 76.2mm mountain gun and the 105mm howitzer are on the agenda. Once the mechanical equipment is in place, they can be officially put into mass production after the end of the year.

While meeting its own needs, excess production capacity can naturally be sold.
