"Mr. Lu, have you eaten?" Liang Yongsheng suddenly asked.

"Lu Shan has eaten a little!"

"That's why haven't you eaten yet?" Liang Yongsheng said hurriedly, "I'll ask someone to prepare lunch for you, but we don't have anything delicious here..."

"It's okay, Lao Liang, have you and the workers both eaten?"

"I, we've all eaten!"

"Gugu..." As soon as Liang Yongsheng finished speaking, he heard a sound of abdomen coming from his stomach.

"What's going on? Lao Liang, lying is not a good habit!"

"Mr. Lu, I..."

"What the hell is going on? It's time for this, and I haven't had lunch yet. The workers are doing such heavy physical work. How do you, the factory manager?" Not only Liang Yongsheng, Lu Shan also heard several such voices, and some even subconsciously tightened their belts!

He was angry and sternly scolded Liang Yongsheng.

Hearing Lu Shan’s angry voice, the workers resting around gathered.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't..."

“What shouldn’t be done?”

"I shouldn't have made the decision to sell the grain and advance the project payment!" Liang Yongsheng said with a blushing face.

"Lao Liang, you, why do you ask me to say hello? If you don't have money, we can find a way, but you can't deduct the workers' rations?"

"Mr. Lu, I was wrong, I will review you!"

"It's all our decision to discuss and decide what is not about Director Liang..."

"Yes, it's all of us!"

At this time, voices of support for Liang Yongsheng sounded around, and the crowds gathered more and more. Many workers who found that the crowds around here also came here, so they soon gathered hundreds of people.

"What are you doing? Go back and work!" Liang Yongsheng hurriedly drove away the crowd, but no one was willing to move!

"Old Liang, tell me, what's going on?" Lu Shan took a deep breath. He understood a little. All the workers probably knew about Liang Yongsheng's advance payment of the project. But they did not object, but kept standing on his side, which showed that this was not his private decision alone.

"Mr. Lu, we have no choice but to spend some money. If we don't spend this project, we have to stop, and the loss will be even greater!" Liang Yongsheng said.

"Okay, I understand. I understand all, Lao Liang. Workers, it's me, Lu Shan, I'm sorry to everyone. I didn't do this logistics work well. I apologize to you here!" Lu Shan felt a sore nose, stood at attention and bowed to Liang Yongsheng solemnly, and then bowed to the workers!

"I, Lu Shan, here, promise that even if I just sell the pot, I will ensure that the workers' food rations will never be required to sell grain to advance the project payment!" Lu Shan swears to the sky. "We must never let our workers and brothers work so hard and still endure hunger!"

"Oh..." A shocking cheer suddenly erupted in the crowd!

"Feng Yun!"

"arrive!"

"Calculate how much dry food we brought, take it out and mat it for everyone first. Tonight, I will treat everyone to meat!" Lu Shan announced loudly.

When the workers heard about eating meat, the eyes of the workers lit up, and the cheers and applause became even more enthusiastic.

"Mr. Lu. It's a waste of eating meat, right..." Liang Yongsheng reminded in a low voice.

"No waste, no waste, such heavy physical work. If there is no oil and water in your stomach, how can we do it? We don't say that we can eat meat every day, but at least we have to eat meat once a week. Without meat, and fish are fine. We rely on Mudanjiang, and it won't cost much to do our own efforts to fish and improve our lives!" Lu Shan said.

"Yes, why did I forget this? Pork is not cheap, but there are fish in Mudanjiang. Let's set up a fishing team, and there will be fish to eat in the future!" Liang Yongsheng slapped his thigh excitedly.

This is also just here. He has to worry about too much everything. The details of this kind of idea need to be improved!

"We don't have to go and buy without spending money. We can be self-reliant. We can set up pig farms, chicken farms, and duck farms. In this way, aren't the chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and eggs all complete?" Lu Shan reminded with a smile.

"But it costs money to do this?"

"It costs money in the early stage, but you can be self-sufficient in the later stage. If you are rich, you can still export it. This is also a way to generate income!" Lu Shan said.

At this time, Feng Yun had already brought his people to take all the dry food they carried along the way. Although such a little food was like a cup of water for the worker team of thousands of people, it was an attitude and a responsibility!

Lu Shan usually takes three days according to the rations brought by the special forces. Because there are horses carrying weights, they take a few more days, usually not more than a week. It is not easy to insure if there is too much food!

It would be nice for everyone to get a bite of food, but this bite condensed the workers' hearts!

Why are workers willing to save money to sell food to advance the project? It is because they regard the arsenal as their own home. Who is unwilling to pay for their own home?

Moreover, building an arsenal is also for the purpose of strong national defense, and producing guns, cannons and bullets is also for the purpose of fighting the Japanese!

The workers at Fengtian Arsenal all have a certain awareness, and the organization plays a considerable cohesion role in it. This group of workers came voluntarily, although everyone’s psychological thoughts are different.

But their purpose is to build another arsenal larger than the Fengtian Arsenal.

Some of them are brothers, father and son are in the same place, and relatives are all together, and small families form the current army of workers.

Lu Shan also got a pancake, and he gave it to Liang Yongsheng. Liang Yongsheng delayed it for a while and finally took it over.

But he couldn't bear to eat all this pancake, so he only took a few bites and wrapped it in clothes.

When Lu Shan saw this scene, his eyes were wet. No need to ask, he must have taken it back for his wife, children and family to eat!

"Old Liang, eat it. I still have it there!" Lu Shan couldn't help it. When he first met Liang Yongsheng, he had at least 130 kilograms, but now it looks like it is probably less than 100 kilograms!

"Mr. Lu, I can't do special things!" Liang Yongsheng said.

"This is probably the noble character of you GCD people!" Lu Shan sighed leisurely. He talked to Liang Yongsheng alone without much scruples.

"Mr. Lu, you are to us..."

"Lao Liang, we won't talk about this topic now. Would you better discuss it later?" Lu Shan reached out to stop him.

Liang Yongsheng was a little silent. He was old and had no idea that Lu Shan had any concerns in his heart when he had given his experience in fighting. In fact, the situation of these people was good enough. The news from the south always made people feel heartbroken, but what could it be?

"Lao Liang, the arsenal is the capital for our East Anti-Japanese War to settle down in the future, and it is also our support for defeating the Japanese invaders. Therefore, it must be done well. The burden on your shoulders is not light!" Lu Shan said solemnly.

"Yes, it will be put into production in the first half of next year. This is a very huge task for us. We have never done this before!" Liang Yongsheng said.

"If you have any difficulties, I'm here to solve the problem for you!" Lu Shan said.

"Workers, we are not short of equipment yet, but we lack equipment. We lack technicians and the power problem of equipment. We lack generators. Although Yilan Arsenal also had generator sets, that unit was too small to supply our future production needs. We need large generator sets. But we can't make it ourselves now and must be closely linked. But if imported, it will be a problem to come from there!" Liang Yongsheng said.

"In the future, we will definitely produce our own generator sets. My idea is to introduce them from abroad first, then understand the technology thoroughly, see if they can be copied, and then develop them. However, our current geographical location is not very good, with an outlet, but there is no port for large freighters to dock, and the safety of the sea channel, so even if we find a seller, it will be difficult to transport the things back!" Lu Shan nodded.

"Mr. Lu, I heard that we are negotiating with the Soviet Union. Can we ask the Soviet Union for help and buy from them?" Liang Yongsheng said.

"The Soviet Union's technology is not advanced, and they may not be willing to sell it to us. If too many conditions are attached, it will be very unfavorable for us!" Lu Shan said.

“There are not many countries for us to choose from!”

"Yes, the world's recognized technological powers today are nothing more than the United States, Britain, France, and Germany. Britain has a good relationship with Japan. Moreover, Britain is a conservative and arrogant country. They are disdainful to cooperate with us. Moreover, they will not offend Japanese allies because of this. France and a romantic country, followed closely behind Britain. They should not be in a bad relationship with Japan. The United States and a free country. However, their current policies are very conservative, only focusing on their own land. Internationally, they are unwilling to make enemies. There is a Germany left. This country that was defeated in the war is in a strange period of rise. Seeking a normal country is what the Germans are eager to do now, and Germany's industrial technology is known for its solid and toughness!" Lu Shan finally talked about Germany, and it is obvious that the meaning is very obvious. The country he wants to cooperate with the most is Germany!

The things made in Germany are indeed very good, and Liang Yongsheng, as the director of the arsenal, is certainly aware of this.

Japan was also a victorious country in World War I. After the war, it obtained Germany's rights and interests in Qingdao, China. China was also a victorious country, but in the end it was not even treated as a defeated country. Western powers privately granted it. After the war, China did not sign the Paris Peace Agreement, and later signed an agreement with Germany alone.

After the war, China and Germany had a very good relationship. If it weren't for the allies declaring war with the Allies, China would not have broken off diplomatic relations with Germany!

There is not much interest dispute between China and Germany, but it can complement each other in many aspects!

Cooperating with Germany can also take advantage of the relationship between the government and Germany, which will be more convenient.

Buying machinery and equipment from Germany is not a big problem. The problem is how to transport it back. Sea transportation is the fastest and most time-saving way. However, Dongkang now has no outlet for a ten-ton cargo ship. If it is to be built, it will be a big cost. Moreover, the best deep-water port is in Vladivostok, which is now under the control of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Far East Fleet is stationed there!

If the East Column builds a port, it can only choose Hunchun. Although Hunchun is under the control of the East Anti-Japanese War, it is closer to North Korea. North Korea is now under the control of Japan. If a port is built, there will be threats from North Korea and the Japanese navy at any time.

If you don’t build your own port, you can only choose to dock at the coastal port, and the nearest one is naturally Tianjin Port!

Although there are Japanese garrison troops in Tianjin, they are still under the control of the Northeast Army. The problem is that when the equipment arrives in Tianjin, it is unnecessary to think about how to transport it outside the pass from Shanhaiguan to exit. No matter how stupid the Japanese are, they will not watch the strength of the East Anti-Japanese War step by step.

Then there is only one road, land transportation.

For land transportation, trains are naturally the most convenient and fastest, but now the railway from Zhangjiakou to Inner Mongolia only extends to Baotou, and it is not possible to go north. There is a railway that is still in the hands of the Northeast Army, which is from Beiping to Rehe and passes through Rehe and goes north, but it is not connected to the Middle East Railway. The South Manchuria Railway is in the hands of the Japanese, which is equivalent to pinching the throat of the northward!

There is a way to solve this problem, that is, to build a railway from Baicheng to cross the Inner Mongolia grassland, bypass the area controlled by the Japanese army, and connect with the Zhangbao Railway. Although it is a little farther away, it can ensure the safety of equipment and material transfer.

However, if you build such a railway, it will cost a lot and take a long time. If it is repaired by then, it may have started fighting!

The Japanese ambitions for Inner Mongolia have been revealed. If this railway is built, it will definitely force the Japanese to accelerate the erosion of Inner Mongolia. It will be even more difficult to ensure the safety of this railway!

Can you invite German experts and make them yourself?

Lu Shan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. This is a good idea. Beiman Manchuria still has a certain industrial foundation and does not necessarily require much advanced technology. As long as it can be used at this stage, it will be gradually updated and replaced!

In this way, even if the cost is calculated, there are also the costs of hiring experts, especially in sensitive technology fields, countries are not fools. It is not easy to get these experts to China.

As the world economy improves and the unemployment rate decreases, the cost of poaching people from other countries will inevitably increase exponentially.

There was a fashionable term in later generations called "market exchange technology". Can it be used now?

Lu Shan’s mind started to move!

Dongkang now controls a large area, with a population of more than 10 million. According to the plan, every county town will have to use lights and telephones within five years. In this way, how many thermal power units are needed?

If they are imported from abroad, it will be too troublesome, and it is better to build it yourself!
