Under Wei Wu's operation, half of the workers in all Japanese factories in the southeastern theater were replaced by people selected from the base area.
After these people entered the factory, they began to learn various technologies and study processes.
After thoroughly studying the technology, they squeezed out the Japanese step by step, and finally completed the dove's occupation of the magpie's nest and made the factory their own.
After making arrangements for the factory, Wei Wu sent another telegram to the base camp.
The main content of this telegram is that there have been recent signs of enemy troop movements on the front line.
Experimental large-scale shelling was also carried out.
It is estimated that the enemy's artillery has reached the size of a regiment.
It is hoped that the country will allocate some tanks and artillery for support.
In addition, it is hoped that some of the troops that have been allocated to move south can be mobilized for support.
In addition, Wei Wu also attached a small request.
That is to hope that some domestic tractor production experts will come over.
After investigation, it was found that the land in the Jiangnan area was fertile and under normal circumstances, a large amount of rice could be harvested.
However, due to low labor efficiency, production capacity is insufficient.
If a tractor could be developed, it might be possible to increase yields and increase rice production.
The telegram was quickly delivered to the desk of Gen. Sugiyama, Chief of General Staff of the base camp.
Sugiyama Yuan felt a headache when he saw another telegram from the southeast war zone.
He felt that all the troubles in recent times seemed to come from the southeast war zone.
As long as it is linked to the Southeast War Zone, nothing good will happen.
He really wanted to throw the telegram into the furnace.
However, due to his responsibilities, Sugiyama Gen could only bite the bullet and unfold the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Sugiyama Gen threw the telegram on the table angrily.
He actually asked him for equipment and people again.
Now, all the empire's focus is on the southward plan.
The Huhuhu plan is on the line.
At this critical moment, you actually asked him for tanks, artillery, and people?
not a single one.
However, it would not be good if they were rejected outright.
After all, the Southeast War Zone had made great achievements before and wiped out most of the guerrillas.
Previously, the base camp also took this matter as an example and preached it to all war zones.
Let North China and Northeast China learn from advanced experience.
Especially in the northeast, the Anti-League campaign was getting bigger and bigger.
Originally there were three or two big cats and kittens.
There are already reorganized Japanese weapons divisions.
There are even some Soviet-made weapons.
The main force even has a higher firepower density than them.
At one time, it occupied a large area in the direction of Manzhouli.
The Kwantung Army could only rely on large cities and fortress groups to resist on the Harbin front line.
This annoyed the base camp.
I reprimanded him several times in succession, but the situation did not improve.
In comparison, the Southeast Theater Zone, which had completely wiped out the guerrillas, was a role model.
However, because the Southeast War Zone offended many interest groups last time, causing a lot of capital to bleed and move factories to the mainland, the emperor did not award the Southeast War Zone awards in order to balance the emotions of various groups.
Last time, no reward was given for such a big contribution.
Now, if the application for the southeast theater is completely rejected.
I'm afraid the people below will complain.
In particular, Shinozuka Kazuo is also responsible for such important directions as Chongqing.
If it is normal, there will be complaints if there is any complaint.
The empire can still suppress it.
But now is a critical moment in preparing for the Pacific War.
The rise and fall of the entire empire, its honor and disgrace, all rested on this war.
If something happens in the Southeast War Zone.
The consequences would be disastrous.
After thinking about it, Sugiyama Yuan's eyes fell on the end of the report.
Apply for the agricultural machinery part.
"Just use this to top up your numbers."
Sugiyama Gen made a decision.
He immediately checked the situation.
I discovered that there are indeed a group of tractor experts in China.
Worked in several automobile factories.
In addition, when we had good relations with the United States, we also purchased a lot of tractors and agricultural machinery.
It was originally planned to study mass production.
But after pulling back, they quickly discovered a problem.
That is the kind of large farmland that the United States has.
Tractors and large machinery are available.
But Japan is all about small fields.
Large agricultural machinery cannot go down at all.
Many places are still terraced fields.
No farm machinery can be driven up.
In addition, large agricultural machinery consumes more fuel, so these items are thrown into the warehouse to eat dust.
If he hadn't looked through the ledger, he wouldn't have known about these things.
In line with the principle of waste utilization, Sugiyama Yuan packed these machines and threw them to Wei Wu.
At the same time, those researchers related to tractors were also sent to the southeast theater with a transfer order.
The base camp at this time was the highest authority in Japan.
It is the symbol of the Emperor.
Faced with the transfer orders from the base camp, those capital factories could only hold their noses and let them go.
As for any private transactions, that is not Sugiyama Gen's business.
Soon, these people and materials were delivered to Wei Wu.
Seeing these things, Wei Wu was very happy.
He remembered that the early heavy self-propelled artillery was mounted on a tank chassis.
The chassis of tanks and tractors are basically the same.
After researching and understanding tractors, basic tanks will be fine.
If that doesn't work, you can add steel plates around the tractor, mount machine guns and mortars, and you can also make a guest appearance as an armored vehicle.
On roads and plains, this thing is much better than infantry.
At least this thing can easily cross barbed wire and machine gun blockades.
After getting the things and people, Wei Wu resold them to the base area.
After a period of development, the base area at this time has become wealthy.
He holds the finances of several provinces, especially the finances of the Ministry of Industry.
That can be said to be a strong army and a strong horse.
At this time, almost most of the supplies in the entire southeastern theater were supplied from the base area.
With just one order, the southeast war zone can be turned upside down.
The reason why he hasn't taken action yet is mainly because Wei Wu has been calmed down.
In Wei Wu's view, the Pacific War has not yet begun.
Japan can turn around at any time.
If they take action in advance and Japan does not attack Pearl Harbor and turn the combined fleet back, there will be trouble.
Although the current base is powerful, it is nothing more than light infantry.
The truck gun hasn't been produced yet.
It is still difficult to deal with Japan, which has sea and air supremacy.
The best time is to wait until Japan starts the Pacific War.
It is best to fight until the Battle of Midway, where the mobile fleet is annihilated and the main fleet is contained in an absolute defensive circle position such as Mariana.
The main mobile force went south and occupied Southeast Asia.
At this time, if the base area shows its strength in one battle, the entire southeastern theater can be captured.
We can even take advantage of the Northern Expedition and capture the North China Theater.
At that time, Japan's military strength was tense everywhere, and even if it wanted to put out the fire, it was powerless.
