"Not many!" Li Zhao could only reply.
At present, only one has been produced, and it has undergone emergency refurbishment. Even if several are produced, they will still need to be refurbished, which will definitely take a lot of time.
Of course, if a large number of internal combustion engines are manufactured, it will not be a problem to produce a sufficient quantity within ten days.
He doesn't know how many people are currently in the base, but it will definitely not be small. Judging from the speed of producing red cannons, a thousand cannons can be produced in a short time, which means there are at least several thousand people.
According to the emperor's requirements and combat needs, at least ten or twenty cars are needed to transport hundreds of officials. What about ten thousand troops? Ten thousand troops were dispatched. Even if Dongfeng vehicles were produced, hundreds of them would be needed. In addition, artillery shells would need to be produced. The workload in these ten days would be very heavy.
"Anyway, as many as possible to ensure that all officials can be transported back and forth." Ying Zheng did not ask for a specific number, and Li Zhao was slightly relieved.
Baiguan does not need many vehicles. According to the production volume of the base, it is not a big problem, but his goal is not that simple.
Li Zhao promised.
"Also, ten days is too long. The war in the north is urgent. Let them attack the two thousand elites first! Let them hold off the Huns for ten days. After ten days, they will make a desperate counterattack. The Huns will be destroyed."
The emperor didn't know where he had the confidence to dare to say such a thing. Li Zhao secretly cursed that he had never told the emperor about the power of rocket launchers and tanks!
Li Zhao nodded, it might not be the best way at present. If the Huns are allowed to attack, Xiaoguan will be breached sooner or later. Shangjun and Longxi will be in danger. I hope the two thousand elites can withstand it for ten days!
"Zhao Ye is willing to transport all one thousand red cannons to Shangjun." Li Zhao added, of course, he will also secretly send the sniper rifle team there. Although the number is not large, it is enough.
What sniping requires is not quantity, but precision. To achieve beheading operations, the Huns were caught off guard and successfully sniped their generals, which played a positive role in the war situation.
"Very good. Let's return to Shanglinyuan immediately. The army will be launched in ten days so that the Xiongnu will never come back."
Ying Zheng made the final decision.
The crowd dispersed, and Li Zhao also drove back to Shanglinyuan in his car.
But the turmoil of this matter is not over yet. Today's car test is extremely successful, deeply shocking people, and the word car has completely entered people's hearts.
I'm afraid there will be a lot of people talking about cars for some time to come, and they may even be on par with the Huns' war.
It was an extraordinary thing, faster than a train, but very light.
This is more convenient than the train.
After returning to Shanglinyuan, Li Zhao immediately called Achao, Mr. Shen and other senior officials over. He wanted to hold a pre-war preparation meeting.
Li Zhao's requirements for them were very clear. The base needed to build enough cars to carry 10,000 troops so that the soldiers could reach Shangjun as soon as possible. He planned to let the base produce Dongfeng cars based on the original internal combustion engines. As for cars, they would only produce Dongfeng cars. Ten will be enough, and they will be used exclusively to transport hundreds of officials, and the rest will be used to produce Dongfeng chariots.
Dongfeng Motor also uses an internal combustion engine, which requires the internal combustion engine to be more powerful than the internal combustion engine of the car. However, Li Zhao considered a problem. He only had ten days to produce a more powerful internal combustion engine, so he had to use the internal combustion engine of the car. Although the horsepower could not match, But it can be replaced by quantity.
In order to save time, he is also planning to purchase the main components needed from department stores to reduce the workload of the craftsmen as much as possible.
"Achao, how many craftsmen are there currently in the base?" This question is the key.
What he needs to manufacture is hundreds of Dongfeng cars. As long as there are enough craftsmen, they can be produced in time. Thousands of people may seem like a lot, but if you want to complete so many in ten days, it is a bit stretched.
"More than ten thousand."
Ah Chao replied, but Li Zhao seemed surprised. He had never expected that the base would have so many people since its development. It was more than he expected, so the manpower problem was not a concern.
There is also the problem of machine tools. Even if there are enough manpower and there are not enough machine tools, the task cannot be completed on time, so I asked: "The geometry of the machine tool?"
"Enough to operate more than 10,000 people."
"Very good!" Li Zhao was very satisfied with Ah Chao's ability to do things. In this way, this base is no better than the previous military factory. With such a large production scale, it can produce the required cars within ten days.
There might even be room available.
He asked Mr. Shen again if there was enough gasoline and diesel for use. Mr. Shen assured him that it would definitely be possible.
Li Zhao nodded. He was not worried about gasoline and diesel. These things are not needed in large quantities all at once. They can be replenished in time according to the consumption. Anyway, with the Dongfeng Motor, one can go back and forth every day without any hindrance.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Li Zhao gave Ah Chao a task: 20 commercial vehicles to transport hundreds of officials, 400 Dongfeng vehicles to transport 8,000 soldiers, gasoline, diesel, grain, artillery shells, etc.
Also let it make as many cannonballs as possible.
He also made a request for these vehicles, that is, they should be made like armored vehicles and sealed with iron sheets to prevent the halberds from being punctured.
Of course, this is not a real armored vehicle, and it is difficult to be bulletproof, but it can protect the people inside from damage in a short period of time.
This is also just in case.
Li Zhao thought for a while and felt that this was not safe. As far as he could tell, there were only rocket launchers and tanks, which were the main offensive weapons, but no defensive weapons. In case of a sneak attack by the Huns, there would be no way to deal with it.
"Ah Chao, make another thousand machine guns and enough bullets to protect His Majesty."
With experience in manufacturing machine guns and ready-made templates, this matter was not difficult for Ah Chao.
At the same time, tank tests were also conducted, which can be left to the craftsmen.
That's not enough. He also needs to train enough drivers, tank drivers, and rocket launcher gunners in a short period of time.
After arranging everything, he returned to Li's house, purchased the necessary equipment from the department store, and asked Ah Chao to order people to move it away. At the same time, he gathered snipers and asked them to secretly go to Shangjun to effectively snipe the Huns generals.
The next day, two thousand elite soldiers were ready to go. They mounted their galloping horses and walked on Qinzhidao to Shangjun. The snipers also quietly galloped on the road to Shangjun.
I believe that with the participation of two thousand elites and snipers, it is very impossible for the Huns to defeat Meng Tian's army within ten days. As long as they survive ten days, the good days of the Huns will be over.
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and all the basic tasks had been completed. Li Zhao's tense heart relaxed a little, and he couldn't wait to ask about the situation of A Chao and Young Master Shen. After receiving the responses, he was very satisfied.
The mission of the base can definitely be completed within the specified time, but the oil refined in the oil refinery workshop exceeds expectations and can no longer be filled.
During this period, Li Zhao also asked Ah Chao to build oil trucks to ensure the supply of gasoline and diesel.
This is all good news, and Li Zhao can finally relax.
On the ninth day, he finally returned to Li's house and had a good sleep.
Tomorrow he will lead the army to the north. He is the commander-in-chief. The success or failure of the Qin Dynasty rests on him alone. This responsibility is very important and there is no room for his negligence. (End of chapter)
