Khan, I'm sorry, I let everyone off the hook.
I agreed with the editor that the outbreak would happen on the 11th, but the time was wrong before.
Sorry for the one day delay.
The 6 updates promised today will be counted as tomorrow, and at least 6 updates tomorrow plus tomorrow, for a total of 12 updates. .
"Commander, what are you talking about?
Without you fighting bloody battles on the front lines, how can we show our strengths."
The geologist named He Guangyong is the expert who led the team to first survey the Bayan Obo iron mine.
At this time, his face was flushed.
"I still don't believe it.
Come on, Boss Wu, tell me about the important position of the iron mines in Baotou area in the northwest."
Jiang Li called Wu Zhiyou over.
The whole room was filled with a big round table.
More than a dozen people were crowded together.
Although it was a little crowded, it still seemed lively.
"Yes, Commander."
When Wu Zhiyou mentioned the iron ore discovered in Baotou this time, Wu Zhiyou became more energetic.
"Currently, the content of iron ore discovered near Baotou has exceeded 570,000 tons, and it has industrial mining value of more than 570,000 tons." 220,000 tons can be said to have solved the big problem of iron ore scarcity in the northwest in one fell swoop.
The industry in the north has developed to a certain extent.
Whether it is for civilian or military purposes, steel is the biggest constraint on the development of industry in the northwest.
However, the Baotou Iron Mine has solved the curse of the lack of iron ore in the northwest.
Wu Zhiyou, who has been engaged in construction for many years, knows what the Baotou Iron Mine means to the northwest.
"What's the scale of the steel plant?"
Li Du asked in an excited tone at this time.
At this time, the northwest tank factory's monthly production capacity had increased to more than ten vehicles, but it was stuck here for the time being, because it consumes a lot of steel. .
Still industrial steel. locomotive. car.
Railways and so on.
Once the steel production in the northwest increases significantly, the tank factory will naturally rise as well.
"Currently, because the infrastructure in the mining area is still relatively imperfect, horse-drawn carriages and trucks are still used to transport iron ore.
The output has not been increased yet, but it will only take half a year at most for the rails to be laid to the factory, and Connected to the southern railway, the crude steel produced by the steel plant can be continuously transported to Gansu.
The steel plant now uses open-hearth furnaces and blast furnaces designed by itself.
When the subsequent machinery arrives, it will not be difficult to increase the output here to hundreds of thousands of tons.
In other words, what Bizong is short of now is.
Machinery, as well as railways from mining areas to factories, our Republic of China also has the foundation to become an industrial power," Wu Zhiyou said with great emotion.
"Okay, let's put it this way, we won't have to spend this unjust money to buy crude steel from the Soviet Union in the future.
Getting tens of thousands of tons from Xinjiang is really time-consuming and laborious."
Xing Zhanqing said with a happy smile.
"No.
Not only must the purchase of steel from the Soviet Union not be stopped, but the scale must also be increased."
Jiang Li said while raising his wine glass.
"Why" several students at this time.
Several key personnel in the factory also looked over in surprise.
"The scale of the steel plant here is too big.
Sooner or later, it will be impossible to hide it from the Japanese.
Once the Japanese know that we have such a large iron mine in Baotou, they will be willing to take advantage of it.
Now it is the Japanese army alone.

The Mongolian Legion still needs to be fought, but once the Japanese army gets this news, it will no longer be as simple as a simple Mongolian Legion.
Therefore, even the Soviets cannot know about this matter, but they will increase crude steel mining from the Soviet Union.
Scale.
How long can this news be kept secret?”
Jiang Li looked at the people present through the steam rising from the Changsha on the wine glass.
The survey team knew the content of iron ore, and the technical backbones of these factories were also well-established.
People with innocent family backgrounds, now the whole family In the northwest, there will be no problems.
Besides, after these students survey the mines, they will be transferred to the inland department of the northwest.
There will be people from the intelligence agencies watching over them, so there will be no trouble.
It's just that the thought of attracting the attention of the Kwantung Army in the future makes me feel a little restless.
Therefore, Jiang Li mobilized two divisions of his direct Northwest Army to enter northern Shaanxi and Ningxia respectively as a back-up.
At the same time, only the most basic crude steel plant was built in Guyang, which refined the iron ore and transported it to Gansu for further refining.
The remoteness of Saibei has the advantage of being remote, and it also avoids premature leakage of information.
"Hiss" Li Du, Xing Zhanqing also took a breath of air when he thought of this joint.
If they were the Japanese army, they would definitely try their best to capture Baotou.
Not to mention anything else, even if the Japanese army in Shanxi is advancing westward with all its strength, it will also be an extremely heavy burden for the northwest.
After the meal, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing immediately told Jiang Li their worries.
"The soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us.
When that time comes, it will be inevitable except for another life-and-death battle with the Japanese army in Baotou."
Jiang Li waved his hand.
The reason why he was eager to build a steel plant in Baotou was that the early steel was also intended to be used in permanent fortifications near Baotou.
Use the fastest time to repair as many defenses as possible.
At the same time, machinery from the Soviet Union has gradually arrived in Xinjiang, and the arms industry in the northwest will once again receive a leap forward.
Now the tank factory has gradually reduced the production of Avengers, but at this time the production of Avengers is still as high as 7 vehicles, and the production of Tomahawk tanks has also increased to 8 vehicles, surpassing the Avengers for the first time.
Artillery and radio tanks are also undergoing intense experiments.
Even if the armored forces in the northwest cannot gain a numerical advantage at this time, qualitatively facing the Japanese Type 95 light tank, the Type 95 medium tank already has an overwhelming performance advantage.
"Being humble does not mean that we are afraid of fighting.
It's just that Baotou is very important to the northwest.
If the Japanese army really regards Baotou as a serious threat and wants to capture Baotou, it won't be easy for us to resist it."
Li Du still said with some worry.
"Otherwise, why would we spend so much manpower and material resources to build a defense line in Baotou?
If the situation is urgent, Zhou Dafu's mechanized brigade will give priority to transforming into a hybrid mechanized brigade."
Jiang Li took a slow sip from the teacup and said.
The war lasted for several months.
Although Zhang Chujiu and Sun Liren suffered some losses, they have all been repaired, and the tanks produced by the tank factory will naturally not be left to mold in the warehouse.
"What is the composition of the mixed armored brigade?"
Li Du and Xing Zhanqing asked with their eyes widened at the same time.
"Originally, we wanted to transform it into an armored division, but the northwest does not yet have such a foundation.
The infantry of the mechanized brigade is almost ready now.
To build troops, give them a vaccination first, don't wait until Zhou Dafu's troops retreat to replenish them.
"It's time to stare."
Jiang Li said to the newly promoted lieutenant next to him.
"Yes, Commander."
Tan Bing took out the folder he had prepared and said.
"The mixed armored brigade has been initially reorganized and is organized as follows: a mixed armored brigade.

The brigade has one tank regiment and two tank battalions under its jurisdiction."
Li Du and Xing Zhanqing were not too moved when they heard that they had two tank battalions under their command.
After all, the mechanized brigade at this time was a tank regiment with two battalions.
But when he heard the following words, the expression on his face became a little stiff
