Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 489 Military Factory Plan

"what?"

"Old Ye, are you planning to build a secret military factory production base in Shanghai? So that we can produce our own weapons and equipment?"

In the military supplies warehouse, Liu Wei, who was in charge of logistics support, looked extremely excited and said:

"You don't have a fever, do you? What's the situation in Shanghai now? The next defense battle could break out at any time!"

"Spend a lot of money to build a arsenal and let the Japanese planes bomb it?"

"Also, building these facilities requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, so it is impossible to keep it completely secret, and it is impossible to hide it from Japanese spies. Once the news gets out, the Japanese will definitely be desperate and will do everything they can to destroy our factory facilities. By then, I'm afraid we will lose both our lives and our money."

……

Looking at the empty warehouse, there were several boxes of jammed and rusted rifles, half a box of wet grenades, and a pile of rusty mortar parts.

Ye Feng said helplessly, "Old Liu, even our military supply warehouse is full of rats. If we don't develop our own military factories, when the Japanese come back to kill us next time, will we fight them with firewood sticks?"

This time the Battle of Shanghai.

Ye Feng also noticed that the soldiers fought bravely, there were no deserters or fleeing soldiers, and they were all fighting to resist the Japanese.

However, the shortage of supplies is a very fatal problem.

On the battlefield, every time the enemy and our side faced off, the Japanese always used the tried-and-tested "three-axe" tactics. Relying on their firepower advantage, they launched rounds of heavy bombardment on the positions of the anti-Japanese armed forces and carried out large-scale artillery attacks on the fortifications defended by their soldiers.

What about them?

Basically, they just watched, or covered their heads and lowered their heads to avoid the gunfire.

A large number of casualties on the battlefield were caused by the enemy's horrific artillery fire. If you want to reduce casualties, you must have absolute firepower output.

Fear of fire output.

this problem.

Ye Feng had wanted to get rid of it a long time ago, which was why he came up with the idea of ​​the "military factory" plan.

They now have the most prosperous city, Shanghai.

With this basic foundation, we must not guard a wealthy house and go out to fight with simple weapons and equipment.

Liu Wei asked, "How do you plan to solve the confidentiality problem? Let alone the military factory, even in Shanghai now, there are still many Japanese spies and traitors lurking in secret!"

Ye Feng said, "We have marked out a specific area, raised the confidentiality level to the highest level, and placed several battalions of guards around it. We have also set special requirements for the recruited workers, who are allowed to enter but not leave, and are not allowed to contact the outside world. Once the matter is leaked, we have also stockpiled a large amount of weapons and equipment."

Liu Wei looked up and pointed, "Where are the Japanese planes? They fly up every now and then."

Ye Feng said, "I will guard against the enemy's air force. I will fight them one by one and scare the Japanese air force. Then they won't dare to come to Shanghai easily."

Liu Wei frowned and said, "What about the raw materials? What about the equipment? What about high-end talents? These are all problems."

Ye Feng said, "Didn't we take over the Japanese military industry? If we still lack something, we can trade with the foreign devils through Hong Kong Island."

At the beginning, military factories certainly cannot produce tanks or airplanes. Even mortars, grenade launchers, submachine guns, rifles, etc. are difficult to produce. They can start with simple bullets, artillery shells, grenades, incendiary bombs, etc., and must produce them in large quantities.

These things can be made by hand as long as there are enough materials and no production line is needed. As long as there are a large number of workers, they can be made for you.

After all, they had successively destroyed many Japanese divisions and seized a large number of supplies, especially mortars and rifles, and there was no shortage of these weapons at the door.

Two: shells and bullets.

This is something the troops urgently need. They want bullets for training, right?

When fighting the enemy, you want artillery shells, right?

You also need grenades during short-range firefights, right?

Now the question is.

How much funds does Liu Wei have available?

This war era.

All kinds of trade are extremely chaotic, but as long as you have money, guns and courage, you will not be afraid of not being able to buy good things.

Liu Wei thought for a while before saying, "If we want to produce a large number of bullets, shells and grenades, this plan is feasible. As for the raw materials, we can purchase them through several channels."

The first is what Ye Feng said, contacting foreign devils from Hong Kong Island and conducting secret trade transactions.

Second, we could purchase from Shancheng, where there are many warlord factions and no shortage of greedy people. As long as we have enough capital, we don't have to worry about the warlords not being tempted.

Third, apply to the headquarters, Shanghai will pay, and then go to the northern country of the Northern Bear to trade.

The last one is to sweep away the Japanese forces around Shanghai, especially to carry out targeted strikes on some Japanese warehouses, so as to seize a large number of bullets, grenades and other supplies.

"Old Ye, regarding the funding issue you mentioned, we don't have much money available at the moment."

Liu Wei continued to explain:

"We have joined forces with three major companies in Shanghai to form the 'New Shenzhou Company'. During this period, we have been continuously laying out channels and establishing trading points in various places. Most of the funds and manpower have been invested in it."

Ye Feng asked, "Can we contact overseas patriots and ask them to contribute to the country's anti-Japanese struggle?"

Liu Wei said, "That's no problem, but the announcement should be made by you, a nationally renowned hero. You are well-known in the country right now. After learning about the situation, I believe many patriotic people abroad will be willing to donate money."

In this way, the "Military Factory Plan" proposed by Ye Feng was initially finalized after discussions between the two.

The initial task of the military factory was to produce bullets, grenades and artillery shells.

Ye Feng acted quickly and carried out renovations in the "Tilanqiao Prison" formerly controlled by the Japanese in the north of the city.

This place is remote, far away from the urban area, and is suitable for concealed production.

More importantly, there are several abandoned factories nearby, which have been transformed and are currently used as camp residences for a regiment during training.

In view of the fact that after the transformation was completed, Liu Wei would also secretly transfer part of the raw materials confiscated from the Japanese. As for the workers, for the sake of confidentiality, no external recruitment was carried out, and employees of the "New Shenzhou Company" were directly used. After all, many employees had their identities carefully identified when they joined the company to avoid infiltration by Japanese spies, traitors, etc.

In order to get more money, Ye Feng also met a Japanese leader in the office building.

Kenji Doihara, head of Japan's Special High Technology Department.

This guy is not dead and is currently in custody and interrogation.

Of course, the life is retained, but the person is basically in a half-dead state with less intake of air and more exhalation.

The reason why Ye Feng met him was very simple: to ask for money and redeem someone.

In this period, could a Japanese spy chief be allowed to go? Ye Feng would naturally not do such a stupid thing.

This is a Japanese spy chief who is full of crimes!

His hands are stained with the blood of countless Chinese people. Even if he were killed a thousand or ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for his sins.

For Ye Feng.

People want to be killed.

He wants money too.
