Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Chapter 199 Scarce Rubber

"Commander-in-chief, please take it easy! We really can't expand the scale of the war any further!" Old General Cheng Jun was shocked by Xu Yan's words!

"Commander-in-Chief, General Cheng is right! You can't act on impulse! It's really difficult for us in the rear now!" Hu Ruoxue hurriedly added. At this moment, she was also awakened by Xu Yan's words just now, and she was no longer infatuated.

"I'm just saying, look how nervous you are. But Ruoxue, aren't your words a bit serious? Aren't we developing very well now?"

Xu Yan said a little puzzled.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, you really need to visit our factory workshops! Visit our streets!"

Hu Ruoxue said helplessly.

From Hu Ruoxue's helpless tone, Xu Yan seemed to smell a hint of crisis!

Generally speaking, Hu Ruoxue would not refuse her own decisions. She would always try her best to ensure that the war machine in the north moved smoothly and orderly!

Although the army is fighting now, the scale of the war is still within controllable range, and the war has not affected the core areas! Is there something that I don't know?

"Commander-in-Chief, I would like to visit Central and Texas to seek external support. If the conflict with the Soviet Empire can be resolved peacefully, it is better to resolve it peacefully as much as possible." Foreign Minister Xu Lanchun volunteered to step forward and said.

Xu Yan did not express his opinion. Instead, he crossed his arms and paced back and forth in front of the conference table, glancing at Hu Ruoxue from time to time.

Hu Ruoxue didn't look at Xu Yan, and said directly to Xu Lanchun: "Minister Xu, thank you for your hard work. Visit the two countries and ask them to persuade the Soviet Union! Let Jing Chao accompany you this time, and let him learn more from you!"

Xu Lanchun glanced at Xu Yan. Xu Yan was still pacing there alone without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.

He secretly glanced at Cheng Jun out of the corner of his eye, only to see the old general nodding slightly at him.

Only then did Xu Lanchun dare to speak.

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister Hu! I will do my best to persuade the two countries to mediate the relationship with the Soviet Union!"

"Then I'll leave it to you." Hu Ruoxue said expressionlessly.

Xu Yan neither refuted nor agreed, and the cabinet meeting ended under the chairmanship of Hu Ruoxue.

When everyone left.

Hu Ruoxue walked gently behind Xu Yan.

"Yan, are you angry?" Ruoxue asked.

"I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about what to do next! For an Empire like the Su Empire, our compromise will only result in further oppression!" Xu Yan said expressionlessly.

"Yan, please believe me, I will support you no matter what decision you make, but this time I really don't have the power to do it!" Hu Ruoxue weakly returned to her seat, leaned there, looking extremely tired.

After a long period of silence, Xu Yan felt something was wrong.

When I looked back, Hu Ruoxue had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.

"She can only rest for less than two hours a day." My aunt walked in quietly and spoke.

Xu Yan looked at his aunt in disbelief, then looked at Hu Ruoxue.

After a long time, Xu Yan felt as if a century had passed!

Xu Yan gently covered Hu Ruoxue with his coat.

Quietly retreated.

Hu Ruoxue's extremely haggard face completely shattered his inner strength!

He seemed to have neglected Ruoxue, he seemed to have forgotten Ruoxue!

He only knew how to fight and kill, but he didn't know that it was this weak woman who was behind all of this, shouldering everything for him!

Xu Yan called Lin Fan.

Now he is the vice premier in charge of the entire military-industrial system.

When Lin Fan placed a pile of materials in front of Xu Yan, he said solemnly:

"In fact, our current situation is very bad! Affected by various natural disasters and wars, grain production has declined this year. Currently, our standing army has reached 450,000! These people are all strong laborers!

We have too many debts in the past. Personal equipment, Wuwei equipment, etc. need to be rushed, and the consumption of guns and ammunition is huge!

Now we are building a highway according to your instructions, and there is a huge shortage of personnel in the rear! It is already difficult to get sufficient supply of civilian supplies. The next step is that Prime Minister Hu is going to implement a rationing system!

These are all surmountable problems, but the rubber gap is too big! We all rely on the south for rubber, but currently all the rubber producing areas in the south have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and we can't get even a gram of rubber!

Without rubber, our factory will soon face shutdown! "

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Xu Yan was a little angry. He had always thought that everything was under control!

"Premier Hu didn't let us tell you because he was afraid it would affect you! He was afraid it would distract you!" Lin Fan said helplessly.

Xu Yan was a little angry with himself. How could he forget about rubber? Without rubber, all kinds of tires, rubber hoses, rubber pads, etc. cannot be produced! Damn it!
