Some of the unexpected extra budget originally planned had to be spent again and again at this time.
If it weren't for the fact that copper mining is also related to many production industries, Jiang Li would be reluctant to use the few remaining funds again.
"Thank you very much, Commander."
Yu Zhonggang nodded and thanked him.
After working in Anshan for so long, he had always been doing things in the face of the Japanese, and he had to worry from time to time about the drunken supervisor who would beat him up if he didn't like him one day.
There was no explanation for being beaten to death.
He saw with his own eyes that several drunk Japanese beat several mechanics borrowed from Anshan to death and maimed them.
In contrast, since Jiang Li brought him over from Anshan, he not only gave him the management of the steel plant, but also the copper smelting plant.
The soldiers stationed at the factory usually had to salute respectfully and shout to the host when they saw him.
This trust is thousands of times stronger than when I worked in Japanese hands.
What is even more commendable is that although Jiang Li was the spiritual and practical leader of the 15th Route Army and the immigrants from the Northeast at this time, except for asking to expand production as much as possible, he did not interfere in the detailed management of other factories and only asked questions. production process.
Yu Zhonggang had already asked Jiang Li for money several times, so he lacked confidence to ask for money again this time.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhonggang couldn't help but feel moved that a scholar would die for a confidant.
"You, you are just too reserved.
Director Chen spends a little more time in contact with me.
You two will have to deal with each other more often in the future.
If you have any questions, you can ask Director Chen more.
If you can bring the steel factory to , the copper smelting plant is running well and the efficiency has improved.
I am not grateful to you.
The entire Republic of China will benefit from you.
This time Jiang Wenhao's mixed fourth brigade went to Shanghai and killed and wounded five or six thousand Japanese troops. came out Ordnance.
How can I fight against the Japanese army?
Before the Republic of China, steel production was very low, let alone non-ferrous metal smelting.
There were very few people who knew metallurgy.
I sent some students abroad to study metallurgy. , and try to hire some ready-made technicians from abroad.
You can also bring some apprentices here.
Don't tire yourself out.
I am good at fighting, but if you tire out, I can't find a replacement.
Stall people.”
Jiang Li patted Yu Zhonggang's shoulder and said.
It’s not that he is deliberately trying to win people’s hearts.
He is indeed telling the truth.
The Republic of China could only refine tens of thousands of tons of steel, and it was quite backward on the issue of alloy steel.
Even Yan Xishan’s Shanxi could also produce gun steel.
However, some cannons can only fire more than a hundred rounds before problems occur, and some can even have a significant impact on accuracy after firing dozens of rounds.
It is not easy to train artillery.
If the artillery is at a disadvantage in the battle because of outdated weapons, the artillery will be depleted too quickly.
It will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
"In addition, there are strict requirements for the steel used in firearms and cannons.
You can discuss this with Director Chen more in the future.
Even if the steel used in firearms and cannons is not better than that of foreigners, it cannot be too different."
"I came here specifically to meet with Factory Director Yu just for this matter.
The various workshops of the steel plant are still being debugged.
It is not appropriate for the Commander to exert too much pressure for the time being."
Seeing Yu Zhonggang's expression of tears of gratitude, Chen Jingguo was filled with emotion.

It was so true that he was directly promoted to the position of director of the arsenal by Jiang Li.
Compared with the previous Northeast, a military chief was directly appointed as the host.
People including Han Chunlin and Yang Yuting have all served as arsenal hosts.
Although it can reflect the importance that those in power attach to the factory, it is still difficult to let a general with real power enter the arsenal to provide guidance. production, no matter There must be some arbitrary intervention in employment or production, and the model Jiang Li now provides is to distribute some arms to soldiers, and then summarize the opinions of these people, and then let the arsenal make improvements.
Much better than before.
"It won't work without exerting pressure.
Japan's annual steel production is millions of tons, and both quantity and quality are higher than those of the Republic of China.
There were more than 100,000 casualties in the First World War in Fengtian, and the Republic of China also suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the First World War in Shanghai.
If Without adequate ordnance, soldiers on the front line could only fight with their bare hands against the Japanese aircraft and artillery.
Now up.
The war in Hainan has stopped, but the Japanese army in the northeast will move south at any time, and the 15th Route Army must be prepared for war at any time.
Everyone is under pressure, but no matter how great the pressure is, don't tire yourself out.
This is the principle. , otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss."
Jiang Li changed the subject and said with a smile, "When can the production of the steel plant be increased?"
"The iron ore reserves in Longnan are quite good.
According to the data provided by the surveyor, the iron ore content here is about 30 to 40 million tons.
At this stage, it is more valuable for mining about 7 to 8 million tons.
However, due to the iron ore They are all located in mountainous areas, so transporting them out is relatively troublesome.
This is the biggest problem restricting steel production.
Roads are currently being built.
The current monthly production is about 1,200 tons.
The road will be completed before the end of the year, and the monthly production will be increased to about 4,800 to 5,000 tons by the end of next year.
After the rails are laid in the mining area, the production capacity of the steel plant will be almost fully utilized.
"Yu Zhonggang thought for a moment and gave a slightly conservative figure.
In other words, the total steel production that can be produced by the end of this year will only be about 10,000 tons.
Next year, in 1933, it will probably be increased to 50,000 to 60,000 tons.
By 1934, the steel equipment snatched from Anshan could really increase production capacity to 200,000 tons or more.
Jiang Li nodded, one bite would not make him fat.
Production is not a matter of just having the equipment.
Paving the roads and cultivating skilled workers take time.
Even if Jiang Li is willing to invest enough money in machinery.
But it would be a mistake if the road could not transport so much ore.
However, the development of the northwest steel industry cannot rely solely on Longnan.
After iron ore is discovered in other places, and additional funds and equipment are invested, the northwest's steel output can achieve geometric growth.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt full of regret that he could not develop the iron mines in Baotou at this time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, large-scale iron mines were discovered in Xinjiang, but most of them were in mountainous areas.
Mining is not very convenient, and it is even further away from Gansu.
At the moment, we can only take one step at a time.
As Chen Jingguo and Yu Zhonggang walked into the workshop, hot air hit their faces.
Iron ore was continuously sent into the workshop for refining and melting into molten iron.
Jiang Li stood there for a while and started to sweat.
So I left the workshop again.
I walked around in other places again and looked at the appearance of the steel factory.
Although there was a constant flow of people coming in and out, it looked busy but not chaotic and orderly.
It can be seen that Yu Zhonggang has real skills after working for the Japanese in Anshan for several years.

As for Zhao Yi, who was following all the way, he felt like he was seeing flowers in the mist.
As for the gun steel and gun steel that Jiang Li was talking about, it was even more confusing to hear.
Isn't it the same thing as iron weights?
They are stiff and stiff.
It seems that there is indeed a lot of knowledge in it
