Chapter 407: Building a Radar Station
407 Construction of Radar Station
The leader of the migrant workers left to tell the other migrant workers the good news.
"Mr. Yan, I just received two large-caliber artillery production lines from overseas. Has the arsenal found a good place to house these two artillery production lines?"
Ye Qingshan then looked at Old Yan and asked.
Elder Yan didn't say anything, and the disciple next to him, Shen Huo, the current director of the arsenal, said, "Commander Ye.
Given what you said, the importance of these two artillery production lines.
We are planning to place it in an underground factory, but currently the excavation of the underground factory has only been completed halfway.
Only one artillery production line can be accommodated.
It may take a month to set up all the artillery production lines."
Ye Qingshan looked up at the surroundings. It was surrounded by mountains and forests, with only a dirt road extending into it.
To be honest, it would be unwise to build a factory here in normal times.
Not only is transportation inconvenient, but there are also few resources around.
But now, it's all for the safety of the arsenal.
But it also limits the production capacity of the arsenal.
If Ye Qingshan wants to expand the production capacity of the arsenal, he must expand the scale of the arsenal.
It would take too long to just hide in caves and underground to manufacture weapons and ammunition.
“Next, you don’t have to place all the arsenals in caves and underground.
Some important production lines, such as heavy artillery production lines and artillery shell production lines, can be placed in caves and underground.
Other production lines can be moved to outside factories.
This time, I bought three radar stations from the Americans.
After a while, the installation will be completed.
At that time, if the Japanese fighter planes come to bomb again, our fighter planes will take off and intercept them.
And we will send you an early warning so that you can prepare in advance."
This time, the three transport cargo ships of the Pitt family not only delivered a large amount of supplies.
There are several other types of cargo that are not inferior to the 155mm howitzer.
For example, the three early warning radars that Ye Qingshan bought.
As early as January 1936, the British had built the first radar station.
Later, scientists from Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries never stopped their research on radar.
The radar technology in the United States is now world-class.
It just so happened that the technology company in the United States that developed the radar had been unable to find a buyer.
Ye Qingshan's order made them ecstatic.
Now, the radar station has arrived.
A group of accompanying technicians, under the protection of the soldiers sent by Ye Qingshan, were looking for a suitable place to build a radar station nearby.
Once the radar station construction is completed.
Later, the Japanese bombers wanted to bomb Ye Qingshan's air force again.
They will receive early warning from the radar station, giving them time to take off and fight.
“Yeah, that’s great.
The production capacity of our arsenal has not been increased due to the limitation of the factory building.
That’s great.”
After hearing this, Shen Huo was overjoyed.
"A lot of the raw materials you need for production will be shipped here in the future.
These raw materials can be stored in underground warehouses.
Fuel, in particular, is very precious.
At present, we are unable to produce it ourselves, so we have to purchase it from outside and try to avoid waste.”
“The expansion of the Arsenal will continue in the future.
You must be prepared.
We will recruit workers when necessary, and you can also let me know if you have any requirements. I will try my best to meet them.
I hope in a month or two.
Our arsenal will be completed first, and the ammunition produced can meet the needs of our army.
Half a year later, self-sufficiency in all guns and artillery was achieved.
Can it be done? "
"This……"
Ye Qingshan's request put a lot of pressure on Shen Huo.
Don’t underestimate the ammunition. Their arsenal would have been able to produce it by now, but the ammunition consumption of Ye Qingshan’s two American-equipped divisions was horrific.
It would be impossible to fully supply their ammunition needs without expanding the production line.
As for artillery manufacturing, the pace was even slower.
Moreover, the production of artillery requires higher standards for workers, but at this time they are most in need of skilled workers.
"What is this, brat.
Since Commander Ye has made the request, we will do our best to complete it.
Why are you hesitating? "
Mr. Yan next to him seemed a little embarrassed when he saw the factory director Shen Huo.
He was so angry that he slapped Shen Huo on the back of the head and scolded him harshly.
Shen Huo smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, Commander Ye.
I will do my best to complete your task."
"it is good."
Ye Qingshan was very satisfied with Shen Huo's statement.
Ye Qingshan followed them and visited the arsenal again.
Two hours later, Ye Qingshan left the arsenal by car under the protection of the guard company.
Go to their cement factory,
This time, Pete's transport cargo ship also carried equipment for two cement production lines.
Earlier, several small and medium-sized cement production factories built by Ye Qingshan were bombed by the Japanese, and two of them were destroyed.
But at this time, on Ye Qingshan's territory, whether it was building a radar station, an airport,
Whether it is a position or other fortifications, cement is indispensable.
Ye Qingshan's demand for cement is increasing, but the cement production capacity is decreasing.
So, Ye Qingshan directly asked Anthony to purchase two large cement production lines on the west coast of the United States and have them delivered.
Solve Ye Qingshan’s problem of cement shortage.
"Ashan, why are you here?"
Uncle Ye Qingshan has always been in charge of the cement factory.
Because these cement factories were originally under the name of the Ye family.
Uncle Ye Dahai was also very surprised when he saw Ye Qingshan coming.
"Uncle, let me see what's going on at our cement factory."
Ye Qingshan got out of the car and said to Ye Dahai with a smile.
"Also, I have a present for you."
"what gift?"
"Don't worry, we're almost there."
"Still mysterious."
Soon, as several trucks arrived, a batch of new cement production equipment was unloaded from the trucks.
Ye Dahai was also very happy when he saw these new cement production equipment.
“The two large cement production lines are brand new.
This time, uncle, you have to expand the production scale of the cement plant.
My demand for cement will become greater and greater in the future.
As for the Japanese bombing, I will have a way to deal with it later."
Ye Qingshan instructed his uncle Ye Dahai.
“Okay, no problem.
Don't worry about other things, I will take care of them.
With these two new sets of cement production equipment, there is no problem in expanding production capacity.”
After Ye Dahai finished talking to Ye Qingshan, he rushed down impatiently.
Check out the newly delivered cement production equipment.
After a tour, Ye Qingshan returned to his command center in Wenzhou two days later.
As soon as I came back, I saw a few American technicians arguing with Xiao Shanling.
"What's the matter, Chief of Staff?"
Ye Qingshan walked over and asked Xiao Shanling.
"Commander, these American technicians who are responsible for selecting the site for the radar station have conducted actual observations over the past few days.
They have already chosen the location for the northern radar station."
After hearing what Xiao Shanling said, Ye Qingshan immediately asked, "Where is it?"
"White Dragon Mountain!"
“There!”
After listening to this, Ye Qingshan knew the location of Bailong Mountain.
"Since they said that place is suitable for building a radar station.
Then just listen to them and build it.
What are you arguing with him about?"
"Commander, these American technicians are so annoying.
They always say that the conditions here are too bad and the coffee tastes bad.
Always complaining.”
Xiao Shanling was a little angry.
“They’re not wrong.”
Ye Qingshan knew that this group of technicians who assisted in the construction of the radar would have been well off if the company had not offered them extremely high salaries.
Moreover, there is the security protection promised by Ye Qingshan.
They would definitely not come to help Ye Qingshan and others build a radar station.
“We try our best to meet their demands.
These three radar stations must be built within three months."
“As for the location chosen by the Americans for the construction of the first radar station.
Then listen to him.
It just so happened that at this time Zhang Fa’s 209th Division was stationed on the nearby Yandang Mountain.
Once these American technicians go there, there shouldn't be any problem with safety.
Let the 209th Division assist them in building the northern radar station."
"Yes, Commander.
I see. "
The matter of the radar station was settled.
Time soon came to early February, and Ye Qingshan received a telegram from the other side of the ocean.
“Alice gave birth to a boy.
I’m a father now.”
Ye Qingshan was also extremely happy after reading the telegram that Ye Dakang sent personally from San Francisco.
"Yes, Commander.
Congratulations.”
After Xiao Shanling and others heard what Ye Qingshan said.
They also came to congratulate Ye Qingshan.
"Hahaha, notify all soldiers that everyone will have an extra meal today.
My treat! "
Ye Qingshan smiled happily.
Afterwards, Ye Qingshan and Ye Dakang frequently contacted each other by telegram to learn about the specific situation of Alice and the child.
"Everything is fine, that's good."
After receiving such a reply, Ye Qingshan felt much more relieved.
Ye Dakang also asked Ye Qingshan to give a name to the newborn baby.
“Let’s call him Leping.
I hope my children will be safe and happy in the future.
I’ll think about the name later.”
That night, Ye Qingshan held a banquet and gathered his trusted officers to celebrate.
It was quickly mid-February.
"Commander, news from Wuhan.
The Japs have captured Hankou."
The young martial artist hurried in and reported to Ye Qingshan.
Ye Qingshan was not too surprised.
"Hankou has been captured!
The fall of Wuhan is not far away.”
In this time and space, the Battle of Wuhan also lasted for five months, which was longer than the original time, but Chen Cheng ultimately failed to defend Wuhan.
A week later, Wuhan was captured by the Japanese.
The Battle of Wuhan finally ended.
Although the Japanese won this battle, their losses were far greater than in the original time and space.
Not to mention the damage caused to the Japanese by Ye Qingshan's leadership in the surprise attack on the Japanese airport.
Just because of Ye Qingshan's appearance.
The rocket launchers and rocket launchers in the hands of the national army caused huge casualties to the Japanese on the battlefield.
So, after the Battle of Wuhan ended.
The Japanese simply stopped attacking and slowly licked their wounds to recover.
As for revenge and punishment against Ye Qingshan, no high-ranking Japanese officials have brought it up yet.
