Chapter 744 Civil Engineer Mao Hang
Now that the Japanese have suffered a defeat on the battlefield in central Henan, they have temporarily retracted their claws.
The Pinghan Line had been cut across by the Independent Column, and the Japanese North China Front Army and Kwantung Army's plan to move south to support Datong through land failed.
However, the Japanese in central and southern China are quite strong, and they are facing the Central Army with very low combat effectiveness, so they are very likely to rely on the Yangtze River waterway to launch another attack on Hubei, Guangxi and Hunan.
The first is to turn Southeast Asia into a stable rear area and continue to plunder strategic materials such as rubber and minerals.
The second is to adopt a high-pressure stance against the Chongqing Central Government, eliminate its manpower, and force them to surrender.
If the Chongqing Central Government surrenders, then we can go north from Chongqing and Shaanxi and directly attack the rear of the independent column! Attack from both sides!
Therefore, Wang Meng judged that the Japanese would inevitably launch a large-scale campaign in central, southern, or southwestern China.
For Wang Meng, the most urgent task was to expand the troops immediately while there was no war at hand. By then, even if two of the four group armies in North China and central Henan were unable to move south, he might be able to respond to the emergency by relying on the troops in Yunnan.
Early the next morning, Li Yunlong walked in happily, holding a pot of flowers and humming a little tune.
"Mengzi, what do you think of my flower pot?"
"Not bad, not bad, Old Li, I find that your hands are getting more and more skillful. Are you planning to develop into the gardening industry?"
Li Yunlong placed the flowers on the windowsill and then looked at Wang Meng in confusion.
"There's something wrong with you, kid. When I came in with flowers before, you always insulted me. But today you actually praised me. There's something wrong with you!"
"Haha, this is a sincere compliment from me, please don't be ungrateful!"
The orderly trotted over and brought a cup of strong tea. Li Yunlong took a sip and spat the tea leaves back into the cup.
"Just tell me, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, I'm going to Yunnan to take a look at the Sichuan Army and the Tiger Regiment. If conditions are ripe, I can consider expanding them!"
Li Yunlong nodded. He still supported Wang Meng in serious matters.
"Okay, go ahead. You're more knowledgeable about this. Remember to take the officers to the training class. The army has expanded, and the quality of the officers must keep up!"
"Got it! Then you can help take care of the expansion of these army group infantry brigades into infantry divisions, as well as the training of the 11th and 12th armies."
Li Yunlong waved his hands impatiently.
"I know, I know, nagging mother, just go!"
Wang Meng got in the car and rushed to Pingshun Airport.
Only after getting on the plane did Wang Meng have time to rest for a while.
As usual, Wang Meng went to Kunming first to meet Director Mao Hangmao, whom he had not seen for many days.
As the plane approached Kunming Wujiaba Airport, Wang Meng looked out the window and saw that large-scale construction was underway on Guandu Mountain. It seemed that Director Mao had put a lot of effort into it.
When Wang Meng got off the plane, Mao Hang had been waiting for a long time.
"Chief of Staff, long time no see!"
Wang Meng looked at Mao Hang, who was covered in dirt, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Director Mao, did you just come back from the construction site? I see that you are not only Nicholas' agent and the director of the Independent Column's Yunnan Office, but you also need to add another title."
"what?"
"Great civil engineering designer!"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Meng ordered the soldiers to unload the ultrasound machines from the transport plane, and unloaded more than 20 machines in a row.
"Chief of Staff, Nicholas sent a telegram saying that this thing is very popular in Country M. I heard that only high-end people can afford it. Even if each unit costs $500,000, it is still in short supply!"
Wang Meng chuckled and now he wanted to build a factory directly in Country M!
Although penicillin is still in constant supply, the United States can already manufacture it in small quantities. Although the contract is written to be valid for ten years, there is no guarantee that the United States will find an excuse to tear it up one day.
Therefore, we still have to make money quickly, change various production lines, and recruit talents.
"Next, we will run our smooth production line at full capacity to ensure supply!"
"Okay, Chief of Staff, I'll take you to Guandu Mountain."
"go!"
Under the leadership of Mao Hang, Wang Meng entered the Guandu Mountain position.
There are two cave entrances on Guandu Mountain, and the excavated stones are constantly transported to the villa area in front of the mountain.
"Chief of Staff, in order to protect the original ecology of Guandu Mountain, in addition to the necessary roads and defensive weapons, we have taken measures to protect the original vegetation and trees as much as possible."
"Well, this will also help with defense, so let's keep it if we can!"
Mao Hang then took Wang Meng to the villa area.
"Chief of Staff, there are more than 50 villas built here, all made of stone, and all with underground fortifications, which are very solid. And there is a door connected to the fortifications of Guandu Mountain. If there is any emergency, you can go in directly!"
“How long is the estimated completion date?”
"Give me another three months, I guarantee I can finish it!"
"Okay, the specific defense weapons will be installed by our engineering troops. They are already on the way. You just need to be responsible for the infrastructure."
"okay!"
Wang Meng paused, found a piece of grass to sit down, then patted the side and motioned Mao Hang to sit down as well.
"Director Mao, please contact Nicholas for me and urge us to complete our ship as soon as possible. We will strive to have all our naval soldiers training on our own ships by the end of this year, and bring the fleet back to me in May next year!"
"Mr. Wang, don't worry. Mr. Nicholas and I have been keeping an eye on this matter. As far as I know, the Chinese naval officers and soldiers we sent out have performed very well on the M naval ships, and many officers have won medals from the M Army!"
Li Yunlong looked at Mao Hang's sudden change of identity. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he also expressed his respect for his separation of public and private affairs.
"Okay, Mr. Mao... Mr. Mao, please take care of it. As I said before, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem! In addition, please do me a favor."
"What's the matter?"
"Please contact Nicholas for me and find out what Country M or other countries need the most. We don't need to know the specific products. As long as they put forward their needs, we can satisfy them!"
"Well, you know what, they are just short of TV sets now! After our B-ultrasound machine was delivered, they saw that the screen was similar to a TV set, so they estimated that we could produce smoothly.
But I thought the profit would not be too high and it would be troublesome to transport, so I did not agree. "
Wang Meng had thought about this before, but Country M should be able to produce televisions on its own, so why should it import them?
“Are they in high demand?”
“It’s really big, but it’s too troublesome to transport!”
"That's not a problem. Promise them that we will open a factory abroad and Nicholas will be in charge of it. We will give him 10% of the shares!"
