Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 222 Damn Old Yan, what a spendthrift!

"Captain Cheng, after we have counted the bodies of the Japanese, we will take them out and bury them somewhere far away. We will deal with them properly."

The brigade commander still couldn't stand the smell, so he gave orders directly to Captain Cheng of the 772nd Regiment.

"Yes!"

Blind Cheng pinched his nose and agreed.

Since we failed to take it down, we have to do the dirty work of cleaning up the mess by ourselves.

"Hey, hey, hey, Old Cheng, you have to be careful when you collect the bodies. Let our independent regiment check them first. If the devils have any valuables on them, don't think about letting us steal them."

Old Li said slyly.

"Okay, check it out first."

Blind Cheng said with gritted teeth, and almost hit Old Li on the head with a brick.

This guy is so infuriating.

The brigade commander listened to all the conversations between the two regiment commanders, but he did not intend to stop it. Only pressure can create motivation, and he also planned to put some pressure on the 772nd Regiment in this way.

Otherwise, the main force will always be defeated by the independent regiment in battle. How the hell can it be called the main regiment?

It's more like calling it leavened dough.

"Yu Ye, let them handle the aftermath work. Come with me to see this unfinished steel plant of the Japanese."

"Okay, Brigadier General."

If it weren't for a few people making jokes here, Yu Ye would have run to the ironmaking workshop of the steel plant long ago. After all, these nearly a thousand charred corpses of the Japanese devils were far less attractive to him than a fraction of the steel plant's equipment.

Yu Ye walked around the steel plant with the brigade commander, carefully checking the workshops corresponding to each process.

From the site where the iron ore raw materials were piled up to the workshop for ore washing and beneficiation, and then to the preliminary processing of sintering into agglomerates, Yu Ye was very surprised to find that the Japanese had basically completed the preparations.

Even the materials for building the blast furnace have been basically prepared. Refractory bricks and steel plates serving as the furnace shell have been stacked in the warehouse, and even the foundation of the blast furnace has been laid.

"Commander, I have to say that we got a great deal this time. The Japanese prepared these materials obviously intending to build a steel mill here."

Yu Ye looked at these materials with great surprise, his eyes full of surprise.

As the brigade commander listened to Yu Ye's introduction one by one, his eyes suddenly lit up. This damn Jane was just like handing a pillow to someone when he was sleepy, or simply stuffing a beautiful girl into the bed of a young man.

This is really unbearable.

While sighing, Yu Ye began to quickly calculate the subsequent production plan.

In the original plan, Yu Ye intended to arrange Zhao Xikui and Li Zhengang to use the earthen blast furnace as the basis in Changzhi area to produce a batch of earthen steel.

I used these crude steels as the basis to climb the technology tree. Unexpectedly, I dug out a golden baby with this hoe, and could directly build a steel plant.

"Fuck!"

As he continued walking forward and saw the equipment in front of him, Yu Ye finally couldn't help but swear.

"What's wrong? Xiao Yu."

When the brigade commander heard Yu Ye's extremely surprised voice, he hurried over.

"Converter!"

Yu Ye's voice was trembling as he spoke. He really didn't expect to see a steel-making converter here.

Moreover, it is not just a solitary converter, it is also equipped with a complete set of supporting air supply equipment.

Yu Ye didn't care to be surprised and quickly searched around. The electric motor responsible for supplying air was also there. Except for some wires and cables that were burned during the attack just now, the other supporting equipment was complete!

It's simply exhilarating.

For the industry, this was even more sudden than pie falling from the sky.

"What converter?"

“Commander, in the original plan, we were just going to take back a few mines in this area, but who would have thought that we could actually get a semi-finished steel plant, no, a steel plant that is nearly 70% complete.

I was going crazy with joy.

Brigade Commander, I tell you, I am confident that this steel plant can be put into production within a month. If it enters a stable operating state after half a year, I can make the monthly output of this steel plant exceed one thousand tons!"

Yu Ye was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Damn it!"

The brigade commander was also excited. He knew very well what a monthly output of more than one thousand tons meant to China at present. If the independent regiment or even the Eighth Route Army had a monthly output of one thousand tons of steel, then the combat effectiveness would be improved to a huge level. This was something he could not even imagine!

"The devil has finally done something humane."

The brigade commander hit his palm hard with his fist, and felt the pain, then he realized that this was real.

However, the brigade commander immediately realized that this was not the Japanese's doing at all. The Japanese wanted to better seize various resources in China and planned to refine steel billets here and bring them directly back to their homeland. He just accidentally intercepted them.

"Commander, this is probably not the work of the devils. This is probably the work of Old Yan."

Yu Ye interrupted the brigade commander and said somewhat dejectedly.

"What kind of shit did Old Yan do?"

The brigade commander was a little slow to react and didn't understand what Yu Ye meant.

"Yes."

Seeing the brigade commander's confusion, Yu Ye pointed to the inscription on the converter and asked the brigade commander to identify it.

The brigade commander stepped forward and carefully identified the inscription that the Japanese had knocked on. At the same time, he began to read the words he recognized softly: "Taiyuan Iron Refinery."

When the brigade commander recognized these words, he cursed loudly on the spot: "Fuck Old Yan, such a good thing actually fell into the hands of the devils!"

Perhaps he still felt a little unsatisfied, so he kept scolding Old Yan for a long time, and only stopped when his saliva was dry.

Yu Ye was very calm, just a little regretful.

"Brigade Commander, please stop scolding him. Will you kill him by scolding him every day?"

Brigade Commander: "At least it can make me feel better, what a waste of money!"

"Brigade Commander, I guess only one of the converters from the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant was brought here. The others were either taken back to their homeland by the Japanese or are still in production in Taiyuan.

But it’s a good thing for us to have this one.”

Yu Ye gave a bitter smile, not knowing whether the current situation was a profit or a loss for him and others.

Looking at this converter, Yu Ye felt a little sad. In the past 40 years, China's annual steel production was only a few hundred thousand tons. A few decades later, the underreported steel production in Tangshan alone was thousands of times the current output.

It is indeed difficult for China's army to fight against the Japanese with the current production volume.

"Damn old Yan!"

The brigade commander stomped his feet hard on the ground, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Yu Ye was silent. It was useless to say these things at this time. Not only the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, but also the Taiyuan Arsenal, the Hanyang Arsenal, and the Fengtian Arsenal, the largest in Asia, almost all fell into the hands of the devils.

Defeating the Japanese or delaying them is a battle to turn the tide in desperate situations!
