Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Yu Ye's operation completely confused Qiu Qingquan. Is there such a way of calculation?

Qiu Qingquan opened his mouth and was about to say something when Yu Ye interrupted him: "Chief Qiu, there are still some bearing steels here. I know you are in a difficult situation, but it is even more difficult for us.

I won’t ask for more from you, just one ton.

There are also some parts that require greater mechanical strength, and perhaps some gun steel, so you can calculate 2 tons."

Listening to Yu Yebao's dish-like operation, Qiu Qingquan's face began to darken visibly.

"Minister Yu, you are asking for too much..."

"Chief Qiu, since this is a business, I have to listen to what I want and what you say. However, you have to have all three materials."

Yu Ye said with a smile.

"Then let's use seven tons of gun steel, half a ton of bearing steel, and one ton of cannon steel." Qiu Qingquan pondered for a few minutes and said as if he had made up his mind.

Because he also looked at the gun, bearings are indeed needed, and the connecting transmission shaft does require higher quality, but the gun steel is probably not going to be used.

He suspected that Yu Ye was fooling him, but he had no evidence.

"Okay, then it's a deal. As soon as the raw materials arrive, fifty machine guns will be delivered to your base within a month, along with a hundred single chains. Do you want to sign a document or a contract?"

Yu Ye agreed straightforwardly.

Qiu Qingquan: “…”

At this moment, a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

Damn, the price is too high.

Yu Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Damn, his iron smelting plant is still in the preparation process. Without qualified gun steel, he can't produce qualified seamless steel pipes, let alone high-quality gun barrels.

If the basic industry is not good, any technology will be useless.

Seeing that Yu Ye and Qiu Qingquan had reached an agreement, Chu Yunfei interjected at the right time: "Minister Yu, if our gun falls into the hands of the Japanese, will they copy it and use it as a means to attack us?"

"Yes and no." Without even thinking about it, Yu Ye gave this answer.

Ok?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Ye.

What kind of answer is this ambiguous response?

"Brother Yu, what do you mean by this?"

Chu Yunfei even used the term "Brother Yu", and Yu Ye's status in his heart was raised again.

"I mean, the gun is good, but you can see that it puts a huge strain on resources and logistics.

If the Japanese imitate it and put it into service on a small scale, it will indeed be a problem for us.

But it is unlikely that the Japanese will carry out large-scale imitation and deployment.”

"Why?" Chu Yunfei asked.

"Because they don't have enough resources, and their race has inherent disadvantages. They are only about 1.5 meters tall, so how can they use such a gun?

It is nothing but a pipe dream to expect to find a talented and unrivaled warrior like the monk in their team.

"You are just a Japanese slave from Mishima, do you really think you can do anything?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the Japanese seem to have a high level of technology in front of us. In fact, that's only because we are too weak now.

Many of the Japanese industrial products are still made by hand.

Even their aircraft rivets are made one by one by hand and then attached.”

“Let me tell you, the weight of the Gatling gun that the monk is holding is already the limit of what can be achieved with the current level of technology.

Even if the Americans and Germans came, they might not be able to make it lighter.

Given the current industrial level of the Japs, are they worthy of it?"

As he spoke, Yu Ye was full of disdain for the Japanese's industrial level.

This kind of momentum is particularly rare in this era.

You have to know that in this era, the Japanese are simply an industrial country fighting an agricultural country, which means there is a generation gap in civilization.

To put it in an exaggerated way, it's like aliens fighting against the people from the blue planet.

The entire nation was almost broken in the face of the Japanese invaders, and a large number of people were terrified at the mention of the Japanese invaders.

I didn't expect that in the independent regiment, an armed force that didn't even have an organization, there would be someone who could talk so thoroughly about the Japanese's industrial level and was full of disdain.

Such a person, such cognition, and such momentum are so rare!

"Mr. Yu, what do you think the current industrial level of the Japanese is?"

At this time, Chu Yunfei's way of addressing Ye changed again, from "Brother Yu" to "Mr. Yu", and his language became more respectful.

"It's at best second-rate in the world," Yu Ye said nonchalantly.

Looking at the surprised eyes of the crowd, Yu Ye continued: “In fact, a country’s war capability is a reflection of its industrial capacity.

Don’t be fooled by the Japanese showing off their power in front of us. They are nothing in front of a real industrial country.

Take the Japanese army for example. A large part of their current mobility methods rely on mules and horses for transportation. They are not mechanized at all, and they are not even motorized.

On the other hand, although Germany and Russia have not yet demonstrated particularly outstanding industrial capabilities (in fact, the Russian steel torrent that we have in mind only gradually took shape in 43).

But their industrial capacity should not be underestimated.

Germany controlled Europe by using tank clusters and blitzkrieg, sweeping across the country with tanks leading the way and infantry following up, and was almost invincible.

Let me ask you one question: Can the devil do it?

Not to mention that their tanks are just like little tins, not much better than paper ones."

The generals and officers of the National Army present were all stunned and completely absorbed in listening to Yu Ye's talk about the comparison of industrial levels of various countries.

Later, Zhao Gang simply arranged for someone to bring a row of small benches and a blackboard for the soldiers to use for daily study.

Taking the comparison of the current industrial levels of the United States, Germany, Russia and Japan as the starting point, Yu Ye explained in detail the differences between these countries in terms of war mobilization capabilities and analyzed their advantages and disadvantages.

Then, Yu Ye pointed out the direction of China's industrial development to everyone present. It would not work to follow the previous method of several countries to obtain primitive accumulation by colonizing other countries and then developing light industry and then heavy industry. They must first concentrate on obtaining basic heavy industry and gain a strong national defense.

Then, through structural adjustments, we will gradually enhance the capacity of light industry in a market-oriented manner and eventually become a powerful industrial country with a complete range of industries.

For a full three hours, everyone listened carefully to Yu Ye's explanation, especially the generals and officers in the National Army who had received higher education, who were eager to take notes word for word.

At the beginning, some people asked questions, but later on, if you didn’t listen carefully, you would not be able to follow Yu Ye’s train of thought at all, so in the second half, Yu Ye was the only one talking and the others were listening.

"Okay, that's all I have to say about the relationship between industrialization and military power."

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling down to listen to the lecture? It's not necessary."

Seeing the people below prostrating themselves, Yu Ye couldn't control himself.
