Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Recently, I have built two new steel mills in Mongolia. Both use the latest German technology and can produce about 10 tons of steel each year. If you are interested, I can sell some to you." At this time, Mao Yuanshan thought of the steel mill he had just built.

The latest German technology is used there, and the workers are all taught by the Germans, which costs a lot of money. Of course, after the steel is produced, it will not be of much use to them in a short period of time, but it can be sold to them to make military weapons. If we can't sell them weapons directly, selling them some steel will be a great help.

Sure enough, after hearing this, everyone's eyes began to light up again. You are really capable, not only did you take back Mongolia, but you are also incredibly lucky. You discovered several iron mines and coal mines on the Mongolian steppes. I don't know what's wrong with your brain?

Or maybe there is too much smoke coming out of your ancestors' graves, so how come you get all the good things? The Soviets were in Mongolia for such a long time, and exploration teams came one after another, but they didn't discover so many resources.

Everyone came up quickly and tried to build a good relationship with Mao Yuanshan. They all knew that German steel was the best. Since you used German technology to make steel, the steel you produced was basically qualified, at least much better than our steel. Now they could get to know you so that they could give you a preferential price when they buy steel from you in the future. Moreover, it was definitely a seller's market now. There were so many warlords all over the country who needed this high-quality steel, and maybe the only places producing it were your two sites, and each site could only produce 5 tons.

You have to know that at that time, the annual steel production of the entire China was not much.

If North China had not been lost, the annual output could reach about 30 tons. Now that North China has fallen and Northeast China is gone, the national steel output is less than 10 tons, and the steel produced is of substandard quality. It is acceptable for use in some civilian facilities, but it will definitely not be up to standard if used to manufacture weapons.

The two new steel mills established by Mao Yuanshan almost account for the country's total output. How can everyone not be jealous?

But there's no point in being jealous. In the past, if someone had something good, you could just join forces with two nearby warlords to make them hand it over, or you could just destroy them. But now, let's not talk about the Japanese first, let's just talk about the distance issue. Their place is still in Mongolia. If you take it away today, the Soviets may destroy you tomorrow.

Although the security corps wiped out a reorganized Soviet infantry division, they did not think that the Soviet Union's combat effectiveness had declined. The domestic warlords were very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. At that time, the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army could be said to be slightly stronger than that of the Central Army in the country. Their most elite Seventh Brigade retreated across the board as soon as it came into contact with the Soviets, not to mention their third-rate troops, which would definitely not be a match for the Soviets.

Of course, they would not say how strong the combat effectiveness of the security group was. If they admitted this, wouldn't it mean that they were incompetent? They were a local force without even a formal number, but they were able to defeat the Soviets. You are more or less a regular army, so why don't you have that ability? What did you do with the higher military pay than them?

The welcome banquet reached its climax that evening when the lady and her husband arrived.

The Song family is one of the four major families. This lady is a lady of the Republic of China. She and her sister have dominated the family for two generations. It can be said how powerful this family is.

In the wars of the past, it was this lady who went to the United States to ask for American aid. Later, the Americans gave us a lot of weapons, ammunition and other aid, which made our country's war of resistance against Japan less difficult. In the later stages, some of our firepower even exceeded that of the Japanese.

However, judging from the position where he and his wife were standing, it could be seen that the two of them were probably not very harmonious. It was easy to understand that they had been married for such a long time and had no child, and the young master was the principal's only child, so the two of them were also in opposition to each other.

"You have grown up after all. Although your appearance has not changed, you are completely different from the naughty child before. I didn't realize that you had such great ambitions. You did a good job fighting the Japanese devils on the front line." He is much older than Mao Yuanshan and he often educated Mao Yuanshan in this way when they were young.

"My cousin, your praise is a bit too much. It's my fault for not being able to share the worries of my cousin and uncle." At this time, it comes to the question of taking sides. Although the Song family has a relatively large influence in the party, from the perspective of the traditional status of Chinese men, no matter how much a man loves his concubine, she cannot surpass his son. He will definitely pave the way for his son. Later, when the principal retreated, it was clear that in the end, the prince in front of him would take the throne.

That is why Mao Yuanshan was not very polite when he spoke. When he said the word "uncle", it was obvious that his wife was a little unhappy. She must have been wondering why I didn't remember that I had a nephew like you.

"Who is this? Why haven't I seen him before?" Mao Yuanshan didn't want to cause trouble, but this lady had already noticed Mao Yuanshan's presence and came over to speak directly. This was clearly a lack of face for him. He had several secretaries around him, so how could no one not know Mao Yuanshan?

"Madam, it's normal that you don't recognize him. He is my cousin, the new chairman of the Chahar Provincial Government. He is the national hero mentioned in the newspapers some time ago. He helped our entire Republic of China to take back Mongolia and beat the Japanese badly." He also used the photo in the newspaper to respond to the lady's statement that she didn't recognize him.

Even an ordinary citizen probably knows him. He has been a star in newspapers in recent times. How come you, as the nation's wife, don't read newspapers?
