The steel factory and the arsenal had been built and production had begun.
Song Yibei built the steel factory in Changjiang County because there was Shilu Iron Mine there.
In the original history, the Shilu Iron Mine was built in 1939. It was located at the foot of Jinniuling Mountain, about 3 kilometers south of Shilu Town, Changjiang, western Hainan. The Kuangqu covered a total area of 60 square kilometers and the iron ore reserves were about 300 million tons.
The average grade of Shilu iron ore was 51.2%, with the highest grade reaching 69%. The high grade was famous in Asia and the world. It was known as the "Pearl of Treasure Island, National Treasure" and "Asia's richest iron ore".
However, in the original world, this iron mine was first discovered by the Japanese after they invaded Hainan.
In this life, Song Yibei wouldn't let this happen again.
This time, the system gave him a large steel plant with an annual output of 30 million tons. After the completion of this steel plant, China's steel production instantly surpassed the German Empire and became the world's second largest steel producer.
However, Song Yibei couldn't announce this news yet.
Once the announcement was made, the Japanese immediately changed their strategy and attacked Hainan first.
With the current strength of the independent army, it was not enough to fight against the Japanese, so they could only endure it for now.
This time, Song Yibei placed the steel factory and the arsenal in Changjiang County. The current railway in Hainan wasn't considered developed, so transportation might be a little difficult. If the two factories were built together, the transportation problem could be solved.
Next, Song Yibei had to solve the transportation problem!
She wanted the entire Hainan to be connected to the railway within a year, and all the roads would be paved with asphalt.
"Chief of Staff, what do you think of this steel plant?”Song Yibei asked smugly.
"I didn't expect this! Our steel production will one day surpass that of the German Empire!”This was indeed beyond Jiang Baili's expectations.
When Jiang Baili first saw Song Yibei, he thought that this guy was a rich playboy. However, after interacting with him, he slowly realized that this kid wasn't half a rich playboy.
His intelligence was not inferior to the warlords everywhere.
However, as they got to know each other better, they realized that this kid was much stronger than those warlords.
Because Song Yibei cared about the people's livelihood.
Don't underestimate the people's livelihood. Even his uncle, Old Jiang, couldn't compare to Song Yibei in this aspect.
If Song Yibei ruled Hainan for 10 years, he would definitely catch up to the European powers.
What a pity!
There was no time for him to develop. The Japanese invasion was getting closer and closer!
This was also the reason why Song Yibei was always in a rush to do anything.
However, after seeing the steel factory, Jiang Baili was more confident in the upcoming war.
The Japanese would never have dreamed that there was a poisonous snake watching them from the shadows.
Once bitten by this venomous snake, one would either die or be left with half a life.
Ye Xiaorui looked around behind the two of them. She was curious about how steel was produced.
"Chief of Staff, let's go to the arsenal next door to take a look. The upcoming war will depend on this arsenal.”
"Then hurry up and go." Obviously, Jiang Baili was more anxious than Song Yibei.
Currently, there was no real arsenal in the country.
There was still the Fengtian Munitions Factory, but it was unfortunately occupied by the Japanese!
"Xiao Rui, let's go."
Song Yibei turned around and called out to the curious Ye Xiaorui.
Ye Xiaorui was now Song Yibei's personal secretary, bringing her wherever she went.
"Oh."
Then, the three of them got into the car and headed toward the Munitions Factory.
The Munitions Factory was about 10 kilometers away from the steel factory. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the North Pistil Munitions Factory.
Ye Xiaorui's pretty face blushed when she saw the name of the Munitions Factory.
As long as one wasn't a fool, one could see the meaning behind this name.
Jiang Baili looked at them with a smile.
"Let's go in and take a look." Jiang Baili walked in first.
Then, Song Yibei and Ye Xiaorui followed.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, Miss Ye.”Gao Tong, the factory manager of the North Pistil Munitions Factory, was already waiting for him.
Song Yibei had already informed him when he came.
"You don't have to be so polite. Tell us about the production.”Jiang Baili didn't want to listen to pleasantries. He wanted to hear the real data.
"Alright, Chief of Staff. This way, please."
"This is the M1 Garand rifle production line. Currently, it can produce 300 rifles per day. This production is still increasing every day. If the workers are skilled, it won't be a problem to increase it to 500 rifles per day.”
"However, we currently lack workers. We are still training them. Give us half a year and we can increase the daily production to 3000.”Gao Tong said firmly.
Jiang Baili was a little excited.
3000 per day, 90000 per month, 1,080,000 per year.
With these garlands, it should be enough to fight against the Japanese.
The group continued to move forward.
"This is the bullet production line. Currently, we have a total of 30, but only 10 are in production. It's still an old problem.”
"But even so, we can still produce 30 million bullets a day, and this number is still increasing every day.”
Jiang Baili nodded in satisfaction.
"This is the MKII grenade production line. It can produce 100,000 grenades per day.”
"This is a machine gun production line.”
"This is the 75mm howitzer production line, 30 per day.”
"This is the 105 howitzer production line, producing 15 howitzers per day.”
"This is the 155 howitzer production line, 5 howitzers per day.”
"This is the anti-tank cannon production line, 30 per day.”
"This is a cannonball production line, producing 1000 cannonballs per day…"
Jiang Baili's mood surged after listening to the introduction.
It didn't need much. In just two years, Song Yibei could chase all the Japanese out of China.
Jiang Baili believed that he could do it.
Not to mention anything else, the weapons produced in this military factory were currently the world's top existences!
To be able to witness the rise of the Great Heaven Dynasty in his lifetime was such a blessing!
Just as Jiang Baili was getting excited, Gao Tong led them through the gun and cannon production area to another workshop.
After entering, Jiang Baili's eyes widened.
He saw three tanks being assembled in the workshop.
"This is the tank production workshop. At present, we can only produce one tank every three days. However, I can guarantee that in half a month, we will reach one tank a day.”
Seeing the three big cars parked there, Jiang Baili walked up excitedly and touched the cars.
Tanks, China could actually produce tanks!
Was this true?
Previously, Jiang Baili thought that as long as China could produce guns and ammunition, they could deal with the Japanese until the end. He did not expect that they could produce tanks now!
"Chief of Staff, don't get too excited. There's still a production workshop that I believe you'll be more interested in.”
Jiang Baili turned around and looked at Song Yibei's mysterious expression. He seemed to have guessed it.
However, he still didn't dare to believe it.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, Miss Ye, this way please.”
When Gao Tong pushed open the door to the production workshop, Jiang Baili was so shocked that she couldn't speak…
