The arsenal had just taken shape, and the copper ores and other materials needed for the bullets could only be imported from abroad.
The smelter was developing well. With Guodong Li leading the team, it would definitely become the world's number one in terms of technology in the next six months.
Shudu, Shancheng, and Yunzhou were all rich in mineral resources and had an industrial foundation. Unfortunately, Baldy Jiang was unable to develop and use them.
At this point, he had to emphasize the 'traitorous treaty' that Baldy Jiang had secretly signed with foreign countries.
From the Songhu Armistice Agreement, to the Tanggu Agreement, to the Qin-Tu Agreement, and then to the Hemei Agreement, Jiang Bald Man and the National Government traded the price of betraying the three eastern provinces for a short period of peace.
Immediately after, Baldy Jiang secretly signed the 'China-America Airline Agreement,' the 'International Money Fund Agreement,' and the 'China-America Friendly Trade Agreement,' and so on.
After this series of traitorous agreements, Baldy Jiang exchanged a lot of weapons and equipment from the US, but the price was: "Baldy Jiang needs to constantly exploit the innocent Chinese people, causing the people to live in poverty. The country is getting poorer and weaker!”
What kind of leader was this?
If he could, Liu Zheng really wanted to eat more grains.
The US government had a good plan. They used this method to squeeze the Chinese people to make money from the war, while using Baldy Jiang and the Japanese invaders to fight each other and consume each other. At the same time, they took this opportunity to attack Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the US government's move was like killing three birds with one stone!
The Black Star pistol and AK47 assault rifle were about to be planned for production and manufacturing. In the next year, Liu Zheng would be able to ensure that all 400,000 Sichuan soldiers would be equipped with them.
The AK47 assault rifle was a replica of the MP43 submachine gun from Germany, which was later known as the STG-44 assault rifle.
In the current world war, there was no such thing as an assault rifle. Handgun submachine gun light machine gun rifle.
The effective range of a pistol was 50 meters, the effective range of a submachine gun was about 150 meters, and the effective range of a rifle was about 500 meters.
Between 150 meters and 500 meters, the governments of various countries used light machine guns instead.
The effective range of an assault rifle was about 350 meters, and it was not as accurate as a rifle.
Therefore, even if someone proposed the concept of an assault rifle, the leaders of various countries would not agree.
In fact, during the battle between two armies, the most effective range was 350 meters.
The appearance of the assault rifle was epoch-making. It could completely replace the cumbersome configuration of submachine guns, light machine guns, and rifles. When the 8th army was officially formed and the Sichuan army was fully equipped, Liu Zheng would swallow Baldy Jiang with lightning speed and then unify the southwest region.
After unifying the southwest region, Liu Zheng would lead his troops out of Sichuan and gradually recover the fallen mountains and rivers.
At the same time, Liu Zheng would also send out an expeditionary army to fight in Southeast Asia, and then take all kinds of resources in Southeast Asia for his own use.
This was the first phase of Liu Zheng's military strategy.
After Liu Zheng returned to Chengdu, Liu Xiang personally held the Shu Capital Military Conference.
In this meeting, all the people in charge of Shu City would gather in Chengdu.
During this period, Liu Xiang announced that Liu Zheng would be the Deputy Commander of Shu City's Garrison Guard. At the same time, he would enter the Governor's Office as his deputy.
Actually, Liu Xiang's action was to imitate the ancient emperor's 'crown princess'.
Everyone was well aware of this.
From Liu Zheng's recent actions, everyone's most direct impression of him was: "He's not a good-for-nothing, nor is he a good-for-nothing. Instead, he has great potential.”
In addition, Xue Yue and the other seven commanders had expressed their support one after another. Naturally, the others would not jump out at this time to cause trouble.
It was obvious that if anyone was dissatisfied, Liu Xiang would kill them like lightning.
On the third day of Liu Zheng's work in the Governor's Office, Liu Xiang was suddenly bedridden. Although he managed to save his life in time, his condition was too serious and he was unable to return to the Governor's Office to take charge of the situation.
At this moment, a key figure appeared.
That's right, this person was Xue Yaru, the wife Liu Xiang had been trying his best to nurture for Liu Zheng.
On the surface, Xue Yaru was just Liu Xiang's adjutant, but in fact, she was the acting chief of Shu City.
With Xue Yaru's help, Liu Zheng, who had almost never been involved in politics, began to come into contact with the government affairs of Shu City.
With a humble attitude of learning and the principle of both kindness and intimidation, Liu Zheng gradually stabilized the situation without changing the original system.
Of course, during this period, Xue Yue and the other seven commanders had given him a lot of support.
If not for that, Baldy Jiang's secret agents would have tried to stop him.
Liu Xiang had been in Shu Capital for decades. In addition, Shu Capital had outstanding people and rich resources, so he had established a solid foundation for Liu Zheng.
Based on the data, Liu Xiang had enough food and other resources to feed 500,000 soldiers for 10 years.
In addition, the weapons, ammunition, and funding reserves were enough to ensure that the 500,000 soldiers would not have to worry about the next five years.
These were the assets of the Sichuan army.
After familiarizing himself with the administrative affairs of Shu City, Liu Zheng exchanged for another three bio-humans. One of them was a road and bridge engineer, one was a cement maker, and one was a city planner.
Liu Zheng named the three of them Duan Gong, Zhang Yong, and Wang Xue.
Among the three of them, Liu Zheng invested in Duan Gong and Zhang Yong to open a construction company and a cement factory in the name of individual capitalists in Chengdu and Meishan respectively.
As for Wang Xue? Liu Zheng would arrange for her to assist Xue Yaru.
Xue Yaru was very capable in dealing with government affairs and people's livelihood issues. Therefore, Liu Zheng would officially let her take on the position of Chief Shi of Shu Capital after she took over the position of Marshal.
While Liu Zheng was stabilizing the military and political situation in Shu Du, Baldy Jiang once again sent someone to Chengdu under the pretext of visiting Liu Xiang's illness.
This time, the person who came was the head of the Juntong Special Agent, Dai Li.
