Fang Guangqi's series of questions proved that he knew how difficult it was to achieve all of this.
Not to mention building a steel mill under the bayonets of the Japanese devils, even simply surviving there was a very difficult task. Ren Zhong actually said that he would build a steel industry there with a daily output of more than 100 tons of steel. How dare Fang Guangqi believe this.
Today's information, one after another, made Fang Guangqi feel that his worldview had been subverted!
Of course, we have a way, because the blast furnaces we use to produce steel are completely different from ordinary blast furnaces. They are all more than 10 meters high and built against the mountainside. We use local clay for construction, and we mine ore and coal nearby. Shanxi is full of coal mountains and iron ore. I believe Professor Fang has recently heard some of the battle results produced by these construction achievements from the radio?
"Mr. Ren, are you saying that the recent counterattack operations in the northern base area are also related to your steel mill?" Fang Guangqi was surprised again, but after thinking about it, this is also normal. The steel produced in the north can be turned into weapons nearby and then put into battle.
No wonder the people in the accompanying capital felt incredible about the battle results announced by the north on the radio, because in the current situation, it is already very difficult for the northern base area to launch an attack. After all, everyone knows that they lack guns and ammunition. What courage is it to launch a counterattack against the enemy's core area.
Fang Guangqi didn't expect this matter to have anything to do with Mr. Ren. Listening to this, it seems that the relationship is not small.
Yes, this is an unprecedented counterattack and raid by the base area. The weapons produced by our steel will cause a fatal blow to the Japanese devils. If there are no accidents, the Japanese devils' Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line will all be paralyzed. Hundreds of Japanese devil strongholds will be wiped out in this major attack." Ren Zhong didn't mind revealing some of the things that were about to happen. In fact, these things had already happened for half a month, but limited by the communication level of this era, the headquarters of the base area had to wait for the following troops to report the results of the battle, and then verify them before sending them to the border area, and then the border area would uniformly release the battle report.
In this way, the news has a great lag.
After all, many news cannot be accurately counted by the participating troops alone. Except for the battle achievements of counting heads, which are irrefutable, the number of enemies defeated and wounded can only be estimated and confirmed by internal intelligence.
These cannot be completed overnight.
Even though Ren Zhong provided the base area with hundreds of radios, hundreds of sets of tactical walkie-talkies, and hundreds of sets of handheld radios, ensuring that each main regiment had reliable radio contact, and at the same time allowing the subordinate main battalions to have immediate communication equipment.
This is also a huge system project.
So in the previous battle reports, there may only be short messages about a certain stronghold being captured. The specific number of enemies killed will be broadcast after verification.
Ren Zhong was talking about this when suddenly, the volume of the radio in the restaurant downstairs was turned up to the maximum, and the faint sound that came was just a summary of the battle reports of the Eighth Route Army's major counteroffensive in Jin during the previous stage!
It's just that in the upstairs private room, the two of them couldn't hear very clearly, and Fang Guangqi felt a little itchy after listening for a while.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, I'll go listen to the radio first." Fang Guangqi stood up, quickly cupped his hands at Ren Zhong and said, then turned and went downstairs!
Ren Zhong smiled wryly. Sure enough, Professor Fang's blood is hot!
Then he followed downstairs.
"Dear listeners and friends:
Hello everyone!
Now release the latest battle report summary: Our Eighth Route Army generals and soldiers launched a large-scale raid behind enemy lines from August 20th. As of September 1st, they have launched raid operations on the Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line, destroying more than 150 strongholds, destroying more than 200 kilometers of railways, more than 500 kilometers of highways, annihilating more than 8,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and capturing more than 2,000 guns, more than 20 infantry guns and mortars, and more than 100 tons of various military materials, giving the Japanese invaders a heavy blow and achieving significant combat results!
Now, our Eighth Route Army generals and soldiers are still fighting bloody battles on the front line and constantly achieving results. Relevant battle result information will continue to be broadcast later!
"The more than a dozen people gathered nearby burst into huge cheers, and some even had tears in their eyes.
It's been a long time since I heard such good news.
Although I have been constantly receiving information about the Eighth Route Army launching raid operations, there has been no clear statistics on how many battle results have been achieved. Today, the battle results that everyone cares about have finally been announced.
This battle result, which can be called huge now, has revitalized the people of the accompanying capital who have been suppressed for a long time.
You must know that in the Zaoyi Battle that just passed not long ago, the Guoguo concentrated its main force of 380,000 troops, and finally lost all the targets occupied by the Japanese devils at the cost of 100,000 casualties, causing only more than 7,000 casualties to the Japanese devils!
How can the people of the accompanying capital not be excited by such a huge contrast?
Since the Eighth Route Army's counterattack operations began to release battle reports, even if the local authorities were investigating everyone's radios and not allowing them to listen, they would switch back to the border area's channel as soon as the inspectors left.
Just to hear the victory news over there.
Raiding the enemy's station!
Raiding the Japanese and puppet strongholds!
Raiding the county towns occupied by the Japanese devils!
Raiding the Japanese devils' airport
There is news of victory every day, and today it has finally converged into huge battle results!
Back upstairs, Fang Guangqi was still excited.
"Mr. Ren, one last question, why doesn't your organization put the research institution of this Dawn Project in the rear, but wants to put it in the border area?" Fang Guangqi asked, staring intently at Ren Zhong's eyes.
He wanted to know Ren Zhong's most truthful answer.
"Professor Fang, don't you think that's where the hope for our Hua Country's re-emergence lies? Now that the country is broken and the people are declining, what are the public officials in the court doing? Do you think such a research institution can develop steadily in the rear?" Ren Zhong said leisurely.
Fang Guangqi wanted to argue a few words, but he didn't know where to start.
He asked himself, this one million oceans seems huge, but does the rear really lack these?
Not to mention that they can't do it, are there still few big and small warlords who drink soldiers' blood?
Thinking like this, Fang Guangqi suddenly understood Ren Zhong's thoughts.
This matter, why is it better to be on the front line against the enemy than in the rear.
At least, Fang Guangqi knows that there is no private property there, regardless of the size of the official position! This alone is completely better than the rear.
Second update!
