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

Chapter 697 Yu Ye’s Response

When the emotions of the members of the Theoretical Department of Base 221 reached their peak, Political Commissar Rong walked in with Zhao Gang.

"Political Commissar Rong, why are you here?"

Yu Ye and Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Rong who had just pushed the door open with some surprise.

Political Commissar Rong did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at the shredded paper on the ground in front of him and the scene of everyone partying. He already had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Done?"

"Yes, it is done."

After these two short sentences, Political Commissar Rong's eyes were filled with shock.

As a military leader deeply involved in Project 596, he was also a top student in science and engineering. He knew very well what Project 596 meant and how difficult it was.

Moreover, according to current intelligence, the Americans and Germans have already started this work. We Chinese have been able to catch up with or even surpass their progress in a war-torn environment. The hardships and difficulties involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

Political Commissar Rong said nothing, but stared into Yu Ye's eyes and saluted him solemnly.

"Commissar Rong, you didn't come to see me about the progress of the 596 Project Theory Group, did you?"

Yu Ye looked at the stern faces of Political Commissar Rong and Zhao Gang and felt that something big had happened. Considering today's date, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Yes, come out and tell me."

Political Commissar Rong did not reveal more information and wanted to take Yu Ye to a more confidential place to discuss this issue with him.

"Okay, I'll arrange the work."

After saying this, Yu Ye turned to the theoretical group members who had gradually calmed down and said, "Comrades, our first phase of work has been successfully completed.

We have prepared ingredients for the banquet for everyone in the cafeteria today. Now please put down your work, have a good meal, and then have a good rest for two days.

After two days, please come back here, we need to re-check the results twice independently.

Make sure it is absolutely correct!

Do you have any questions? "

"No, no, no!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

After settling everything, Yu Ye followed Political Commissar Rong to his office and asked, "Political Commissar Rong, what happened?"

Political Commissar Rong said seriously: "I just received intelligence that the Japanese attacked the US Pacific Fleet this morning.

They attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States, and the three main fleets of the United States were severely damaged. The airport was completely destroyed, and the losses were heavy. "

"what?"

Although he had some guesses, Yu Ye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he received the news.

To be fair, he was not that surprised by the news itself, because it was something that was expected. However, Yu Ye was shocked that the Japanese, who had suffered so many heavy losses on the battlefield in China, still dared to take the risk and go all in on the American Pacific Fleet in order to fight for the Pacific and Southeast Asia.

This was indeed a bit beyond Yu Ye's expectations. After he came, he changed a lot of things and hurt the Japanese many times. However, the perversion and madness hidden in the bones of the Japanese and the gambler mentality of repeatedly betting on the fate of the country could never be defeated.

"When we first received this intelligence, our reaction was the same as yours. We were a little bit unbelievable. After having stretched out such a long front, the Japanese dared to provoke the Americans. It was simply crazy."

Political Commissar Rong added that he thought Yu Ye was too shocked by the news.

"Political Commissar Rong, do the Northwest Headquarters and the Commander have any instructions regarding this intelligence?"

Yu Ye was surprised for only a moment before he returned to his normal state. He wanted to hear the Northwest Headquarters and the commander's predictions on the subsequent situation and the next steps in his work.

Political Commissar Rong was also a little surprised to see Yu Ye recover so quickly. He was indeed a top talent. He was able to recover so quickly in the face of such a big change.

"The Northwest Headquarters and the Commander agree that we will definitely win the war against Japan. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the intervention of the Americans only accelerated our process of defeating the Japanese. There is no doubt about that.

However, this accelerated process will reduce many military and civilian casualties and reduce the losses of our China.

However, this may not be a good thing for the post-war situation.

The fate of the United States, the world's largest industrial country, will inevitably lead to its intervention in our Asian affairs in the post-war structure, and it may even seize many of our interests, which will make things even more complicated.

Therefore, what the Northwest Headquarters and the commander meant is that we must be strong ourselves in order to forge iron. We must gain as many victories as possible and quickly improve our strength under a strategic situation that is favorable to us.

We must strive to drive the devils out of China as soon as possible, and also quickly complete the post-war layout."

Political Commissar Rong conveyed the opinions from the Northwest Headquarters and the commander.

"Political Commissar Rong, according to the current strategic plan, we will implement it in our Liaoyuan Arsenal and Project 596. We must quickly increase production capacity and produce more conventional weapons to help our soldiers continue to win.

In addition, we need to complete our 596 Project and missile projects faster, build strategic weapons that can change the battlefield situation, completely defeat the Japanese, and gain greater voice in our post-war situation.”

After Yu Ye and other political commissars conveyed the ideas and requirements of the Northwest Headquarters and the commander, they gave their own judgments almost without thinking and also pointed out the key points of the subsequent work.

After hearing that Yu Ye analyzed the key points so quickly and proposed solutions, Political Commissar Rong's eyes lit up. He found that he had still underestimated Yu Ye. Before, he only thought that Yu Ye had extremely high attainments in military industry and technology, but he did not expect that Yu Ye could grasp the key points so quickly in analyzing the strategic situation.

It is China's great fortune to have such a talented person.

"Yes, so the Northwest Headquarters and the Commander asked me to communicate with you to see if you need anything else. We will definitely do our best to complete the preparations at full speed."

“Political Commissar Rong, there is actually nothing that needs special preparation, because what can be obtained has been obtained before, and what cannot be obtained may be very difficult to obtain under the current situation.

I have a few suggestions that I hope you can use as a reference.

First, we must ensure the adequate supply of industrial raw materials, such as pyrite, saltpeter, cotton, oil, coal, iron ore, etc. We must ensure a saturated supply of major raw materials. This is a great test of the work level of our local comrades.

Second, hire experienced mechanical processing masters at high salaries. They can be from Shanghai or the southwest. They must be fast, but they must also be inspected to prevent damage.

Third, we should make good use of the transportation network organized by our comrades in the south and purchase some of the currently scarce equipment, such as thermal power generators, high-precision bearings or high-precision machine tools, regardless of cost.

That’s all I can think of.”

"By the way, Political Commissar Rong, since the Americans are going to leave, I think there are some things we can discuss with them. Our J-5 has entered the mass production stage, but we don't have mature and qualified pilots.

We can select Americans to help us train them, or ask them to send a teaching team over.

I don’t think they’ll say no.”

Yu Ye gave many solutions in one breath, and each solution was well-organized and sounded as if he had thought it over for a long time.

If Yu Ye had not just learned of this information, Political Commissar Rong would have wondered whether Yu Ye had been planning for this for a long time.
