Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

  At 3 o'clock in the morning on November 25, 1941.

At the moment when all the commanders and fighters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region withdrew from Datong, Huang He, who was far away at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan, was forced to end his dream due to an unusual headache.

 After a while, he first sat up with one hand on the edge of the bed, and then rubbed his forehead with a depressed look.

“Hey, I don’t want to have a good night’s sleep at this late hour. If you have anything to do, you can’t wait until dawn to remind me.”

 The movement just now was a prompt given by the system without even thinking about it. There was a similar situation during the Hundred Regiment War.

However, complaints are complaints, Huang still silently lit the kerosene lamp on the bedside table, and then concentrated on checking the new changes in the Awakening Yonghu system.

 “Come on, let me see what’s new this time.”

 After opening the system in my mind, the first thing that catches my eye are two new modules: international market and military industrial organization.

  As the name suggests, the former is, to put it bluntly, an international trading system. It can help find buyers or sellers when it owns factories with idle migrant workers.

 Once Huanghe meets certain prerequisites, the module is launched in the Awakening of the Brave Tiger system.

In reality, there will be qualified countries or forces that will proactively contact the Eighth Route Army to negotiate the details of the transaction.

 It is like someone Huang can consume the monthly production capacity of a civilian factory in the system in exchange for an opportunity to contact Free France. If both parties reach an agreement, then Mr. Dai will sell one thousand Hotchkiss heavy machine guns to the Eighth Route Army.

However, the buyer needs to find a solution for the transportation problem, and the buyer has to pay real money or exchange items.

 Don't underestimate the opportunity of a transaction. During the turbulent world war, few companies had the ability to sell weapons, not to mention not everyone was qualified to buy.

Why the early Yunnan Army used French weapons, but now it can only live a hard life with other local troops? It's not because General Baima has lost purchasing channels.

In the same way, Huanghe can also consume the monthly production capacity of a civilian factory, allowing Free France, which lacks army weapons, to purchase them in Shanxi.

If representatives from both sides can reach an agreement, then Mr. Dai can spend money to purchase a certain amount of weapons, but he will have to figure out the transportation problem himself.

 After reading the text introduction, Huang He fell into a brief thought.

Before he traveled to the world of Bright Sword, a certain 7+ coloring game also had a professional weapons trading system: the Lend-Lease Act.

 Although the conditions for drafting Lend-Lease Acts are often very harsh, it can at least help many countries without a military-industrial base to obtain a large amount of weapons and equipment before going to war.

Once you encounter some forces that sell kidneys to aid China, they can help the Eighth Route Army share a lot of pressure in difficult days.

It's a pity that there is no corresponding module for the Awakening of the Brave Tiger system, which made Huang He complain a lot when he first returned to the base.

Now, the dog system has not only updated itself, but also completed its original functions. Moreover, this international market module is much simpler and more crude than the Lend-Lease Act.

If the bald man had this system, then he could simply give up the development of domestic light and heavy industries and happily become a comprador who gets kickbacks.

  After all, the current military industry system of preserved fruit is definitely representative of the situation where the superiors are not enough and the inferiors are more than adequate. They do have the ability to produce basic infantry weapons, which is much better than the poor small African countries.

 But compared with the established military powers of the same camp, such as the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, it’s worth noting the negligible production capacity.

Using the Awakening of the Brave Tiger system, Baldhead even had a chance to succeed in the "Sixty Reorganized Division Plan" before 1936, and he was not even a German Helmet Division.

 It is worth mentioning that in the international market, you can only do business with countries or forces in the same camp or with the same ideology.

Taking the Eighth Route Army as an example, we can connect with the allies of the Anti-Japanese United Front, Free France and the market in the north from the beginning. As long as a certain amount of private factory capacity is spent, trading opportunities will be available.

 After thoroughly understanding the functions of the new module, Huang He shook his head with some regret.

“Hey, why didn’t this international market appear earlier? If we had it in the winter of 1939, the 129th Division might have been able to calmly deal with the sweep of the First Army.”

“Even if it is updated during the Hundred Regiment War, the three main forces can reduce their sacrifices.”

After sighing with regret, Huang He first poured a cup of hot water from the insulated rattan kettle, then sat at the guest table and began to think about how to maximize the use of the new functions.

 The current Eighth Route Army already has the ability to produce standard infantry light weapons, including various types of fighter planes, tanks and barrel guns.

Although the Cicada's firepower is not strong enough and its armor protection capability is not strong, it is definitely enough to deal with the Japanese troops operating in North China.

 In the near future, the army will have more advanced armor, so there is no need to waste money on buying tanks from the north.

 As for artillery, the 75mm and 120mm mortars are sufficient to cope with the current intensity of the war. The heavier howitzer is not suitable for use in the terrain of North China for the time being.

In this way, you don’t have to think about buying it, and you can consider selling some equipment to make war fortune.

  ·······

While Huang He was still thinking about what weapons and equipment to sell to the idiots, he accidentally saw a special logo on the international market interface.

 It was an anchor carved from steel, very similar to a certain magic game developed by Bai Maozi in my memory.

"ah?"

"What is this? The product of the Swedish Jackass and the Minsk Shipyard?"    The current Eighth Route Army has begun to take shape in both the army and the air force. In a few years, it may even become the top of the world, but the navy is Not even a single stroke of the eight characters.

 It cannot be blamed that the border area does not pay attention to this unit of arms. The main reason is that the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master are not strong enough and are not qualified to touch this field for the time being.

The troops will definitely capture Shandong in the future, so Huanghe can try to use the international market to acquire a few warships and cooperate with land-based aircraft to gain control of the Bohai Sea.

 Plan pass!

 Plan ahead of time!

Thinking of this, Huang immediately opened the system in his mind and used his consciousness to test the anchor mark.

As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the magnificent scenery in front of him.

It is an endless sea. The surrounding islands are dotted with Chinese-style temples and pavilions. A giant red dragon sculpture surrounds the port with its body.

 Faintly, you can still hear Kangding’s love songs.

 “This is Longgang?”

Soon, Huang He figured everything out.

The port in front of you is not that the system has loaded the Minks Shipyard module again, it is just that it has found a scene that it is more familiar with.

 A moment later, he walked out of the pavilion on the main island.

The first thing that catches the eye is naturally the glory of the Gallic Chicken Navy, the Iris Star of Farasi, the spokesperson of 1190, and the famous battleship Richelieu.

Those two quadruple 380mm large tubes, as well as many secondary battery groups of different calibers, all indicate her strong combat effectiveness.

Behind Richelieu, Jean Bart only completed the hull work and installed a main gun turret.

Although she was only an unfinished semi-finished ship, her huge hull and murderous main guns still made Huang He lose his mind for a long time.

Behind the Richelieu-class battleship are two Dunkirk-class battleships.

 Due to the French navy's construction speed, Richelieu and Jean Bart were not able to complete the project before surrendering. Prior to this, Dunkirk and Strasbourg had been the face of the Navy.

Below the battleships are heavy cruisers, including one cutting-edge Algeria class and four Suffren class.

The number of light cruisers in the port is relatively large, with six La Galissonier-class ships bearing the brunt, followed by two Duguet Trojan-class ships, and one Emile Bertin-class ship at the end.

 It is worth mentioning that at the tail end of the dragon sculpture, there is also a huge destroyer formation.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing in the Yellow River is the existence of supermodels like the Mogador class. The full load displacement of that thing even exceeds 4,000 tons, which is 600 tons more than the Keeling class in the late World War II. The top speed can reach 43 Festival.

 In a sense, calling her a "Qingxun" is not an exaggeration.

In addition to the above-mentioned ships, there is also the Béarne aircraft carrier parked at the widest position of the port. This Grandma-class battleship was France’s only aircraft carrier during World War II.

 “The pie tastes so good. I’m afraid this system update is not a joke to me.”

“If the Eighth Route Army can acquire so many ships, as long as it is properly trained, it will become the fourth largest naval power in the world.”

Although Huang He wanted to pack up these warships in one go, he was not a brainless collector.

Most of the above-mentioned ships are in the navy of Vichy France, and a very small number of ships are under the command of the Free French.

 This means that if you want to buy or rent the rights to use them, you must help Mr. Dai get rid of Vichy France before November 27, 1942.

 Otherwise, all the big babies will sink themselves in the port of Toulon.

Such a loss-making business is naturally impossible for Huanghe, and the border area will not go crazy if it is incapable.

However, the situation in France has changed a lot now. Maybe Mr. Dai will have some ideas about the colonies in Southeast Asia. Maybe Vietnam will be a good entry point.

  ·······

In addition to the international market, the second update this time is the military industrial organization. This module is simply the previous manufacturer.

In the past, there were not many manufacturers for Huanghe to choose from. Among them, there were four for infantry including Taiyuan Arsenal, two for armor that had not yet been contacted, and three for the air force.

These manufacturers can provide various bonuses to the military factories in the system. The more the better.

However, the unlocking process is very cumbersome. You either have to control the corresponding area, or you have to go through large-scale decisions that take a long time.

 Such a setting is not only rigid, but also not humane at all.

 After this system upgrade, any very large factory in the area occupied by the Fourth Master or the Eighth Master will be eligible to become a manufacturer recognized by the system.

 This means that custom bonuses such as Baotou Northern Heavy Factory may appear in the future. (End of chapter)
