Chapter 923 Chu Yunfei's Dream
When we drive out the invaders and build our country, these treasures buried underground will come in handy.
This is also why the reserves discovered in the mining areas of our base are increasing, and it can be considered the foundation for our all-out industrial development.
But we've digressed again. Let's get back to the milk powder. Actually, when the milk powder was transported back, the head of the logistics department was also stumped about how to use it.
China has never had the habit of drinking milk. At the same time, a large amount of soybeans were also transported back to the country. People preferred to drink soy milk every day, as milk powder had a strange taste.
Some people who returned from abroad are used to drinking milk, but only a few people are drinking it, yet the first batch of milk powder shipped back already amounted to thousands of tons.
In the end, it was Minister Zhang of the Logistics Department who personally made the decision: in order to save food, the people in the Logistics Department should take the lead in drinking milk powder and mix most of the milk powder into compressed biscuits to increase nutrition.
It has to be said that this is a brilliant idea. In any case, if it is only a small amount, it should not affect the taste. Various kinds of chocolate are also processed in the same way, which are also good things, but many people are not used to them.
After Chu Yunfei ate a piece of compressed biscuit and drank a few sips of soy milk, he was basically full.
I ate a big meal at noon, and spent the whole afternoon sitting comfortably on the bus without doing anything, so I wasn't hungry at all.
To prevent everyone from going hungry, Section Chief Ma pushed them to exceed the standard for high-intensity combat exertion required of a soldier.
He casually put the remaining compressed biscuit into the pocket of his military uniform; such a good thing shouldn't be wasted.
Then it got completely dark. Looking out the window, it was pitch black. Apart from the faint light from the bus headlights illuminating the distance, everything was so quiet.
Chu Yunfei leaned back in his comfortable chair and slowly drifted off to sleep, accompanied by the sound of a car engine.
In fact, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. As the head of a division, he was in charge of tens of thousands of people and had endless things to do every day.
Even after falling asleep, they still have to face various unexpected situations, so they basically can't sleep very soundly.
But on this bus, he basically doesn't have to think about anything. The bus is also incredibly safe, and he doesn't have to worry about any trivial matters. Even if something happens, it probably won't bother him.
It was a peaceful and carefree day, a rare moment of leisure. Especially since he had just eaten and was feeling a bit sleepy, Chu Yunfei fell asleep.
He even had a wonderful dream in which he commanded an armored division and used a steel torrent tactic to drive the Japanese back to their homeland.
"Drive out the Japanese pirates, restore our land, revitalize our nation, and promote unity."
It's probably because of his obsession as a pure soldier, even in his dreams.
He was half asleep when the bus suddenly jolted awake.
Chu Yunfei raised his hand and looked at the time. It was five o'clock in the morning. The vehicle was still moving, and people around him could even be heard snoring.
After a good night's sleep, he was refreshed and ready to reflect on the current situation.
It is now widely rumored that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are forming mechanized units to improve their rapid response capabilities to emergencies, which is also the mainstream approach of industrialized superpowers on Earth.
However, many people scoffed at this rumor, including senior generals of the Jin-Sui Army, who refuted it in public on many occasions, gaining widespread approval.
This is China, and its industrial strength is so great that it can't even equip an ordinary infantryman with a rifle. Every time they fight a battle, they have to count the bullets before firing.
Although the Nationalist government's Central Army was slightly better, it was still several levels below the Japanese.
Even the Japanese couldn't mechanize their troops, so how could the Chinese possibly do it? This kind of news is either sensationalism or a case of flattery to kill; nobody will believe it anyway.
His 358th Division was considered an elite unit of the Jin-Sui Army, and all resources were given priority. Even so, they barely managed to use mules and horses.
The entire division has a total of over 20,000 personnel, with at least 3,000 belonging to the logistics staff, used to take care of the horses and transport supplies.
The daily expenditure on horse breeding was countless, along with personnel expenses in various aspects, which contributed to the formidable combat power of the 358th Division.
But as for the mechanization of the military, forget about it. The fuel shortage alone would kill all ideas. After all, China is an oil-poor country, a fact that has been verified by countless foreign experts.
In fact, not only do the Chinese people firmly believe this, but even the Japanese do the same; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so desperate as to betray the European and American colonies in Southeast Asia.
After all, modern industry, especially the petroleum industry, was initiated by Europe and America. Due to stereotypes, all Chinese people believe that foreign experts are right.
But everything that happened yesterday caused Chu Yunfei's worldview to collapse a bit, even though he only saw a very small part of it, not even the tip of the iceberg.
However, the intelligence obtained from it was astonishing. Those tiny gas stations stored ten tons of gasoline, and judging from the situation, they had already formed a network covering most of the base area, which was a bit exaggerated.
According to Section Chief Ma, most of their base areas have been connected by such high-grade highways, so presumably these gas stations have also been widely deployed.
Like buses, they serve a civilian purpose in peacetime, but can be immediately converted to military use in the event of a large-scale war.
To achieve this, at least tens of thousands of tons of oil reserves would be needed, which is unrealistic for the Eighth Route Army to obtain.
Suddenly, Chu Yunfei thought of a possibility: he had been invited to a meeting when he was stationed at the Independent Regiment's headquarters.
I remember that a large number of high-quality iron ore, copper ore and coal ore were discovered near the Independent Regiment.
As a result, their Jin-Sui Army also obtained a lot of high-quality iron and copper mines, which they used to develop their arsenals.
Actually, our base area prefers to sell smelted steel and copper ingots, as that's more profitable.
But Commander Yan also came from an economic background. Shanxi Province's industry used to be quite good, and he knew the intricacies of the industry.
Moreover, we cannot be dependent on others for many things; otherwise, if we cut off the supply, it would be a huge problem.
Even if the steel smelted by the Jin-Sui Army is two grades lower in quality than ours and costs twice as much, we still respect their actions.
After all, everyone has their own ambitions. After hitting a few more walls, Commander Yan will figure it out.
Chu Yunfei originally thought that high-quality coal was a useless commodity, since the entire Shanxi province lacked everything except coal.
But who would have thought that this high-quality coal is also extremely valuable to China, that is, coal-to-oil.
