Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Chapter 437: The South Just Sees Some Progress, but the North Starts to Make Trouble Again

North Manchuria’s military and industrial capabilities deserve a thumbs up. Not only does it have sufficient talent training reserves, it also has a relatively complete industrial circle.

From mineral mining to metal smelting, the entire closed-loop process is completed.

There are no technical obstacles and it can be copied at any time as long as there is a suitable opportunity.

At the same time, the construction of the three universities was also very rapid. The previous building areas were transformed into schools and the first batch of students were recruited for training.

Not only professors from my big brother's side were introduced, but also many foreign teachers.

Although Ding Weiren was not in Manchuria, he was very familiar with the situation there.

It's a joke. If you don't understand it clearly, then there will be problems.

After eating Yunnan cuisine for a few days, how can I describe it?

Not bad, just a little bland.

Northern cuisine is heavy in oil and salt, while the cuisine here is fresh, tender and fragrant. These are two completely different styles.

I'm used to eating chicken stewed with mushrooms, so I think it's a bit too much to ignore the chicken when I see mushrooms.

The situation within the army must also be considered, with mostly northern soldiers interspersed with reorganized soldiers.

We still need to consider the plan of streamlining the military and government, retaining elite troops while reducing pressure on logistics.

Some soldiers could return to work in factories or consider returning to the north. Ding Wei approved the transfer of more than 10,000 people in one go.

There are also many who are not adapted to the local environment and are considering returning to the northern army to fight.

The war in the southwest is not over yet, there are still small-scale battles and clearing of the mountainous areas.

It is necessary to quickly build a military factory in southern Yunnan to supply ammunition and repair firearms. Until now, most of our weapons are made in various countries.

The quality of the counterfeit rifles and captured rifles varies greatly, and the calibers of the guns also vary.

The main battles have ended, but the post-war period is far from over, and energy is still needed to restore the economy and production.

This is the overall situation, Manchuria is supplying fresh blood to various places.

The good news is that Ding Wei has already developed semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles. As long as resources are allocated to them, they can be mass-produced.

You can gradually replace the internationally produced ones in your hands to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Even if semi-automatic and automatic rifles cannot be reused in large quantities, the quality of the imitation Type 38 rifle is guaranteed and can continue to be supplied to the troops.

More importantly, the production of ammunition and artillery shells involves the use of millions of people. One shell for each person is enough to keep the military factories running day and night.

Ding Wei's plan is to enable the military factories in southern Yunnan to cover his own troops within 2-3 years, and to support the sales of local armed forces in the south. Self-use is one part, and selling is another.

At the same time, an inland shipping company will be built here and a million-ton steel plant will be constructed.

Logically speaking, as a member of the military system, he should not care about the political situation. However, Ding is a man who is proficient in both military and political affairs, and he can understand everything clearly.

Another thing that Zhang Dabiao was specifically instructed to do was to secretly find, win over and support the defeated soldiers in the Golden Triangle. They didn't necessarily have to be named Ding.

Keep it in a chaotic state and let this lawless area grow bigger and stronger.

If the conditions are right, Ding Wei will provide them with assistance.

The last thing is, what weapons and equipment do the troops need, or what difficulties do they have?

"Commander, if we really talk about difficulties, we have no shortage of guns or weapons, but we are short of one thing."

"What's missing?"

"A sharp and strong machete."

Zhang Dabiao came from the machete team, and he thought this guy was obsessed with the primitive machete.

After talking about the local situation, Ding Wei was deeply thoughtful.

The grass here is taller than a person, the road is difficult to walk on, and there are many vines. You need a machete to clear obstacles and cut the grass.

I thought Zhang Dabiao would make some requests, but it turned out to be an ordinary machete.

According to the other party's description, it is not an ordinary machete, but more like the old hatchet, with a two-handed handle and a sharp blade on one side for easy chopping.

It is not called a machete, it should be called a bush knife.

Yes, this small requirement must be met.

In the past, the conditions for steelmaking were not good, and the knives produced were relatively soft or brittle.

Now that we can produce various alloy steels, the quality and toughness of steel have been improved. A batch can be produced at any time and transported to equip the troops.

Let the military factories in southern Yunnan take the lead in refining. The electronic furnaces introduced here can even produce artillery steel.

In addition to this, Ding Wei also intends to make his own shotgun.

The technical difficulty of a fully automatic shotgun is not great. It could be made by hand in the past, and the current military industry is definitely capable of producing it.

The gun has great power in close combat and is suitable for jungle charges and for eliminating enemies in trenches.

Good for close combat.

Jungle, mountain and plain combat are suitable for different troops and must not be viewed with the same old perspective.

Don't underestimate the jungle. The poisonous insects and miasma alone are enough to be fatal. Add to that diseases like malaria and it can be lethal at any time.

To conquer the jungle, one must not only adapt to the local climate and environment, but also have abundant logistics and good medical conditions.

Ding Wei does not plan to conquer the jungle in the near future, but he will maintain a small guerrilla force to keep abreast of the situation in the south.

First contact the defeated soldiers in the Golden Triangle and see their situation.

Zhou Weiguo's phone call interrupted their conversation.

Today's secret talk ends here. After Ding Wei answered the phone, his expression changed. A war has broken out on the peninsula.

After obtaining Soviet weapons and three divisions of troops, coupled with continuous mass mobilization, the Northern Dynasty had an army of 3.

Jin Xiaoer couldn't help it anymore and chose to play in one wave to sweep across South Korea.

The two sides have been in repeated friction in the border area. Just yesterday, they officially deployed a battalion of troops to fight each other.

The sound of gunfire was intense and the friction this time was far greater than ever before.

According to Zhou Weiguo's assessment, the two sides will inevitably go to war within one month at the shortest and three months at the longest.

Once the two sides open fire, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Russians and the Americans. Ding Wei has always wondered why the issue of the islands was not resolved in the late World War II.

Now I finally understand that with the intervention of the Eagle Sauce and the current situation, we have lost the opportunity.

The most cursed person was Li Yunlong who was stationed in Fujian. His troops actively went to the front line and learned a lot of skills in island landing operations.

It was stopped before it even started.

The Eagle Sauce’s warships can come over at any time and carry out artificial interference.

The situation on the peninsula is tense, like a dry powder keg, and many sparks have already been thrown into it.

It will inevitably explode, and the explosion will not be short.

We can sense the Russian bear's conspiracy here. Its interests in the Far East are gradually disappearing. Does it want to use the fighting on the peninsula to regain something that is beneficial to it?

Ding Wei had a lot to consider. No matter what, the situations in Manchuria, the Far East, the Peninsula, Hokkaido and other regions required him to consider carefully.

At the same time, some of Mu Liancheng's deployments need to be accelerated.

The time has come for the military-industrial enterprises, food factories, etc. acquired previously to come into play.

Sakura will achieve economic take-off in the next 10 to 20 years, so we must invest as much as possible and integrate capital into it.

I can't stay in the south anymore, I have to fly back as soon as possible.
