Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

It was 3 a.m. 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 you to have a good night's sleep this late at night. If you need anything, 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 Regiments 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 comes into view are two new modules: International Market and Military Industrial Organization.

The former, as its name suggests, is an international trading system. It can help find buyers or sellers when it owns factories with idle migrant workers.

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

Then 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's like 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 did the early Yunnan Army use French weapons, but now they 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 number 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 swords, a certain 7+ coloring game also had a professional weapons trading system: the Lend-Lease Act.

Although the conditions for drafting the Lend-Lease Act 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 on the premise of war.

Once you encounter some forces that sell kidneys to aid China, it 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 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, he could simply give up developing domestic light and heavy industries and happily become a comprador who gets kickbacks.

After all, the current military-industrial system of Preserved Fruit is definitely representative of the situation where the superiors are not as good as the inferiors. They do have the ability to produce basic infantry weapons, which is much better than the poor small African countries.

But compared with the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, the established military powers in the same camp, let alone the negligible production capacity.

Using the Awakening of the Brave Tiger system, Baldhead even had a chance to succeed in the "Sixty Reorganization 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.

Take the Eighth Route Army, for example. From the beginning, we could connect with our allies in the Anti-Japanese United Front, Free France, and the market in the north. 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 First Army's sweep."

"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, 75 Miss and 120mm mortars are enough to cope with the current intensity of 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.

······

When 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 Baimaozi in my memory.

"ah?"

"What is this? A cross between a Swedish jackass and a Minsk shipyard?"

The current Eighth Route Army has begun to take shape in terms of both the army and the air force. In a few years, it may even become the top of the world. However, the navy is not even a character.

We can't blame the border area for not paying attention to this unit. 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 Huang He can try to use the international market to acquire a few warships to cooperate with land-based aircraft to gain control of the Bohai Sea.

The plan goes through!

Plan ahead!

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 was an endless sea. The surrounding islands were dotted with Chinese temples and pavilions. A giant red dragon sculpture surrounded the port with its body.

Faintly, you can still hear the vague love songs of Kangding.

"This is Longgang?"

Soon, Huang He figured everything out.

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

After a while, 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, Farasi's Iris Star, the spokesperson of 1190, and the famous battleship Richelieu.

The two four-mounted 380mm large tubes and many secondary battery groups of different calibers all indicate her powerful combat effectiveness.

Behind Richelieu was Jean Bart, who had 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 speed of construction of the French navy, neither Richelieu nor Jean Bart was able to complete the ship 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 Qingxun is not an exaggeration.

In addition to the above-mentioned ships, the widest part of the port also parked the aircraft carrier Béarne. This grandma-class battleship was France's only aircraft carrier during World War II.

"The pie tastes so good. I'm afraid this update of the system is not a joke on 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 the ships under the command of the Free French account for a very small number.

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

It is naturally impossible for Huang He to do this kind of loss-making business, and Border Area will not go crazy if he has no ability.

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, to put it bluntly, 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 process of unlocking is very cumbersome. You either have to control the corresponding area, or you have to make large-scale decisions that take a long time.

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

After this system upgrade, any very large factory in the area occupied by Fourth Master or 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)
