Ye Anran walked around the Krupp 105mm field gun production line.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The M3 submachine gun production line provided by the system was too cheap compared to the heavy artillery production line.
Jin Yinan introduced the production tasks very humbly.
With abundant raw materials, the Hecheng Arsenal can produce five 105mm field guns and fifty rounds of high-explosive bombs every month.
The standard firing range of this gun in Germany was 15 kilometers, which was shortened to 12.3 kilometers after being sold to the Neon Kingdom.
The total combat weight is 1985 kg, and the gun elevation angle is -5 to +42 degrees. The maximum rate of fire is 7 rounds per minute, and the manning is 8 people per gun.
"Where did the raw materials for your previous production tasks come from?"
Ye Anran looked at Jin Yinan.
He urgently hopes that the artillery production line can be put into operation quickly.
"Vice Chairman Ye, before now, raw materials have been transported from Kyoto Steel Plant to Tsuruga City via ferry and train."
"As far as I know, I have also cooperated with Hecheng Fine Steel Group."
“What else is needed to get the production line back on track?”
"We need workers, lots of workers, skilled workers."
Jin Yinan got straight to the point, he knew what Ye Anran wanted.
To quickly resume the production of guns, ammunition and artillery, Hecheng Arsenal needs at least 200 people.
"I'll help you with the people and raw materials. You hand me ten field guns every month!"
Jin Yinan: "Vice Chairman Ye, there are too many, we can't handle them!"
"If you can't decide, just choose a grave for yourself!"
"yes!"
Jin Yinan didn't dare to say another word. He was afraid of making Ye Anran unhappy, so he would bury him in the next second.
Ye Anran returned to the provincial capital and met Ma Jinshan who was going out when he entered.
The two greeted each other, then walked in and out, each busy with his own business.
He had discussed it with Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke earlier.
He is responsible for military production, logistics supplies, and field medical care.
Ma Jinshan was responsible for troop training, recruitment, fortifications, and money making.
As the provincial chairman of Black Province, he took advantage of his position to withhold 14 million yuan in salt money from Black Province.
At the same time, a loan of 10 million yuan was found from the Huhai Railway and a tax collection of 3 million yuan was obtained.
Under the guidance of Xie Ke, Ma Jinshan was heading to take over the Bank of East Asia with the official seal of Manchukuo conferring him as the Chairman of the Black Province.
After Ye Anran executed Tai Kun, the general manager of the Bank of East Asia, the Northeast Army Guards immediately occupied the Bank of East Asia.
Isolation control was carried out on senior bank personnel and treasury.
Seeing that it was soon time for the Japanese to settle accounts with the Hecheng defenders, Ma Jinshan always felt that it was better to put the money in the Bank of East Asia than in his own hands.
Besides, now is the time to spend money.
Ye Anran sat quietly for a while after arriving at the provincial capital. He asked Ma Jinhai to assemble the cavalry camp and wait in front of the provincial capital.
Ma Jinhai agreed and left.
While there was no one in the office, he realized that he had entered the universal tool box, and the NPC saluted him.
Ye Anran checked the progress of deciphering the M3 production line. It was 98%. After using the accelerator card, the deciphering speed was very fast. In two hours, he would be able to see the brand new submachine gun production line.
He left the universal tool box and walked downstairs to the provincial government office.
Li Yukui and his brothers from the cavalry battalion each led a military horse and were waiting at the gate of the provincial capital.
When they saw him, everyone stood on their heels and saluted Ye Anran.
Ye Anran responded with a military salute, then jumped on the military horse. Relying on the original owner's memory of Crane City, he led the cavalry battalion to the door of a factory on the outskirts of the city.
There are more than a dozen chimneys inside the factory, constantly puffing thick smoke into the sky.
There were military dogs and a squad of guards on both sides of the gate. When they saw Ye Anran, these people were not afraid. Instead, they quickly stood in a row, raised their guns and asked Ye Anran to identify himself.
When they raised their guns, Ma Jinhai took two steps forward on his horse. He looked down at the seven or eight guards and said, "If you don't need your eyes, I won't mind digging them out and throwing them into ditches to feed the fish!"
"Can you say that again?!"
The taller guard in the middle scolded Ma Jinhai angrily.
He put his finger on the trigger and gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill the horse with one shot.
Ma Jinhai didn't tolerate them. He took out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.
The cavalry battalion immediately lined up in a row, all guns aimed at the guards of the Jingang Group.
Ye Anran observed the surrounding environment and noticed that Hecheng Fine Steel was indeed well-deserved.
His factory is connected to many nearby mines, including coal mines and iron mines. Their general manager, Gao Qiqiang, has a large number of workers to dig coal and mines for him.
The ore is smelted at high temperatures, purified into molten iron, poured into molds, and quenched into steel, which is then finalized by the rolling mill under the Jinggang Group.
The formed steel is used for railroad tracks, farm tools, weapons, tableware, etc.
Perhaps after hearing gunshots, many young men holding firecrackers and earthen guns poured out of the courtyard of the Jingang Group.
When these people ran up to Ye Anran, they were all dumbfounded.
They thought someone was making trouble, but they didn't expect that all the people who came were regular troops.
Ye Anran has long felt that this fine steel group is not simple.
When I saw him today, he even raised a lot of thugs! !
I just don’t know if it’s harming the people.
Soon, a car stopped in front of the door, and a man in a suit with slicked back hair got out of the car.
He hurried towards Ye Anran, scolded his men to put down their guns, and bowed to Ye Anran: "Vice Chairman Ye, I am Gao Qiqiang, the general manager of Hecheng Jingang. I am reckless, so please don't be angry."
Ye Anran ignored him.
He rode directly into the office area of his factory, where he and Ma Jinhai stopped.
Gao Qiqiang trotted over, stood in front of Ye Anran, and said cautiously: "Welcome Vice Chairman Ye to Jingang Group."
"Gao Qiqiang, your business is so big that you even use thugs."
"Isn't this the one you brought to deal with the laborers?"
"Vice Chairman Ye, you are joking. The country is currently in turmoil. I am preparing some young and middle-aged caregivers just for self-protection."
"Let's go, we're on your territory, let's find a place to talk."
"yes!"
"Vice Chairman Ye, General Ma please."
Ye Anran followed Gao Qiqiang upstairs and entered a private room.
He personally served tea and water, and after finishing his work, he stood aside and listened.
At the Hecheng businessmen meeting that day, Gao Qiqiang and his entourage all witnessed the famous scene where Ye Anran put Tai Kun to death.
He was a little nervous when he saw Ye Anran suddenly arriving with his army today.
Ye Anran asked him to sit down and said
"What did Mr. Gao do before?"
"To tell you the truth, I used to sell fish."
"Oh, then why do you think of the steel factory?"
"I couldn't make a living selling fish, so I followed my adoptive father to the German Krupp factory to learn steelmaking technology. After completing my studies, I returned and invested in the Hecheng Steelmaking Plant."
Ye Anran looked at Gao Qiqiang, "I heard that when the Japanese occupied Hecheng, the only company in the city that did not stop work and production was your Jingang Steel Group. It seems that President Gao not only had a wonderful life, but also handled interpersonal and international relations very uniquely. "
