Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

The engineers and workers brought by Zhang Wanhe, after witnessing one miraculous facility after another, all willingly chose to stay, as expected.

Here, even if the equipment was rudimentary, everyone saw that this was a place where real work was being done, where everyone had a role to play. Ren Zhong didn't even wait for Lao Li to return to discuss it. After consulting with Kong Jie, he directly appointed Gao Kaiming and Xu Jiucheng as the directors of the machine processing factory and the steel factory, respectively!

The remaining people were left to be allocated by them.

He began to free himself from the daily tedious work. Although passing on various knowledge would still keep him busy for a while, it was much better than relying entirely on himself to complete the guidance. Most of these people were literate, and even those who were originally workers were mostly skilled technicians.

Xu Jiucheng and Gao Kaiming were both top students of this era. Xu Jiucheng had even studied metallurgy in the island country, so his basic knowledge was very solid.

Therefore, it was no problem for Ren Zhong to give him a few books and let him study on his own.

After touring the industrial infrastructure of Yang Village, Zhang Wanhe didn't make any other requests, except for one: at least half of the skilled workers and equipment had to be allocated to his headquarters' arsenal!

Although this made Kong Jie very uncomfortable, he could only obey the overall situation.

There was no way around it; Yang Village's resources had too great an impact on Zhang Wanhe.

If Kong Jie dared to resist, Lao Zhang would dare to call the Commander over to insist!

However, Ren Zhong was happy to see this happen. After all, it would be difficult to promote these things relying solely on the Independent Regiment. They needed to be promoted throughout the entire base area to improve everyone's lives. Otherwise, the Independent Regiment would bear the enormous pressure of exporting finished products. Now, the Independent Regiment had been targeted by the Brigade Commander as the entire brigade's production base, and it had to supply at least seven or eight main regiments, as well as many local guerrillas!

Relying on the manpower and material resources of Yang Village, plus the newly acquired Liu Village and Li Village, the scale of production could no longer be expanded, because even if manpower could be recruited from farther away, the grain from this base area would definitely not be able to support them!

The Independent Regiment was already under a heavy burden with the addition of more than a hundred horses and more than a hundred soldiers in the converted puppet army cavalry company. Now, it basically had to rely on the Brigade Headquarters to sell the penicillin provided by Ren Zhong to earn some silver dollars to purchase grain from outside.

But even if they bought up all the towns and villages within dozens of miles, the surplus grain would not be able to support a few hundred more people.

This was one of the reasons why Ren Zhong couldn't expand the new blast furnaces after opening the No. 3 and No. 4 blast furnaces.

Of course, Lao Zhang made a big deal out of this great thing.

This was because Ren Zhong considered that the power supply at the headquarters' arsenal might have some problems, plus the upcoming Japanese sweep, and these machine tools would probably be difficult to transfer, so he gave Lao Zhang an upper limit control.

After all, even if the castings were prepared to be produced in the Bright Sword world, making that mold process was quite complicated. Ren Zhong would arrange at most two units here in Yang Village. After Li Yunlong and the others gained a foothold in Heyuan, they could arrange a few more units in the caves by the small river in the mountains there. As long as there was water flow, a hydropower generator could drive three or four machine tools without any problem.

The arsenal at the headquarters was not set up by the water, so Ren Zhong prepared small wind turbines for them, plus the few old diesel generators they already had.

Zhang Wanhe thought he had taken full advantage of Ren Zhong. When he was leaving, he was a little embarrassed to say to Ren Zhong that when he arrived at the headquarters to guide him in a few days, he would specially prepare an old hen to welcome him!

Ren Zhong smiled. If he wanted to, the prices of masterpieces of modern art in the main world would collapse in the short term!

Of course, considering his own interests, Ren Zhong would not do this. After all, according to the price of the last auction, the normal price of these master paintings was more than ten million. Selling them slowly, these hundred calligraphy and paintings were worth more than ten billion yuan. Adding the dozens of paintings from the Brigade Commander, Ren Zhong would basically not be short of funds for at least 5 years.

Although he didn't know when the Bright Sword world would end, even under the worst circumstances, history would complete the end of the little devils by 45!

Therefore, Ren Zhong no longer considered whether the price was reasonable when trading with Zhang Wanhe, just let Lao Zhang know that he couldn't get it for free. The agreed price could also earn points for upgrades, but this upgrade was so useless that Ren Zhong often ignored it.

But Ren Zhong still had a thought in his mind, what if one day the system was upgraded to the ultimate form and suddenly burst out with new functions, such as starting to explode planes and tanks, wouldn't that be awesome in the Bright Sword world!

Riding horses to step on Dongying and admire cherry blossoms was not his dream. If that day really came, he would have to follow Li Yunlong to see it.

The newest novel is first published on 69shuba.!

But now, according to the current development trend, he still had to stay in Yang Village, not to mention that this base was about to be unable to protect itself in a few days. Before the Japanese devils launched a large-scale sweep, he had to leave here in advance and transfer to the new base in Heyuan.

After all, it was more remote there, and the enemy's strength was weaker.

If Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao followed his plan and secretly developed slowly, at least when this large-scale sweep came, it would be a proper outer line!

While Ren Zhong was working day and night on the construction of Yang Village, preparing to produce more ammunition for the base area and the Independent Regiment before the arrival of the large-scale sweep, he began a new plan, considering the construction of a new base.

The third update!
