    "It's okay to tell you. Now I am preparing to establish heavy industry. But there is a lack of resources for heavy industry. Now the situation in Europe is getting more and more tense, but we don't have any industrial foundation. This is really worrying!"

    Yang Jie and Jiang Baili couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this. There was something else involved.

    For example, the sources of weapons and equipment of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, as well as the sources of other military supplies.

    ¡°The Eighty-Eighth Group Army¡¯s ammunition consumption has always been very large.

    In every war, the Eighty-eighth Army must fire a large amount of ammunition.

    These ammunitions are beyond the capabilities of even the little devil¡¯s industrial capabilities.

    Especially in the last battle, which lasted for more than a month and a half, more than half of the supplies in the military warehouses around Nanjing were consumed.

    A large amount of ammunition is consumed every day. If it is a Chongqing agency, it will consume ammunition at this rate.  I'm afraid that after half a month's consumption, their finances will be exhausted.

    And with such intensity, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army actually fought for more than a month and a half.

    Where does such a huge consumption of weapons and ammunition come from?

    And there is also food and so on.

    But these are secrets belonging to Zhou Weiguo. Yang Jie and Jiang Baili are both smart people.

    They know that this is a secret belonging to Zhou Weiguo and cannot be unearthed.

    Although Zhou Weiguo is young, his behavior is very ruthless.  If you ask around randomly, you might not be able to see the sun the next day.

    So they can only avoid this sensitive topic.

    Yang Jie was silent for a while before saying: "Actually, we want to develop heavy industry, and there is a province within our borders that is very suitable!

    "There are coal and iron mines with considerable reserves! They were mined there before during the Beiyang period!"

    Yang Jie did not ask Zhou Weiguo why he wanted to build these things, but only talked about building heavy industry, hiding the questions deep in his heart.

    "There?"

    A flash of doubt flashed across Zhou Weiguo's face. It seemed that there was no such thing in his memory!

    "Anhui!"

    "Anhui?"

    Zhou Weiguo¡¯s brows knitted together tightly.

    "Haha! You can see these things by checking the past data of Anhui Province."

    Yang Jie said with a smile.

    Zhou Weiguo nodded, and then Yang Jie and Jiang Baili left. Zhou Weiguo worked in the office for a while and then went down to ask Zhou Gen to give him the geological data of Anhui Province.

    Zhou Weiguo then went back, and only the next day did Zhou Gen have someone deliver a stack of books to Zhou Weiguo.

    These books are all previous mineral exploration records in Anhui Province.

    These were detected by the agencies at that time during the golden decade a few years ago.

    Zhou Weiguo took these materials and looked at them slowly.

    After reading it for a day, Zhou Weiguo finally took a rough look at it.

    At the same time, we have a general understanding of the mineral resources in Anhui Province.

    Anhui can indeed develop heavy industry, based on the currently proven mineral resources.

    There are a large number of coal mines in Huaibei and Huainan, and the specific reserves have not been proven yet.

    Because when we were about to find out how many reserves there were in these two places, the War of Resistance broke out.

    As for iron ore, it has been proven that there is a large amount of iron ore in Huoqiu, Lu'an, but the exact amount of reserves has not yet been proven.

    Because of the current technology, they only know that the reserve is very large. They have detected it several times before, but because the reserve is too large, their technology cannot reach it and they cannot detect it in a short time.

    In addition, Anhui Province also has other gold, silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum and other resources, and the reserves are not small.

    In fact, what Zhou Weiguo didn¡¯t know was that in later generations, Anhui itself was a major mining province.

    Although it is not as good as Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, it is still an important mineral province in China.

    For example, the currently detected Huoqiu Iron Mine has a reserve of 1.65 billion tons of iron ore, ranking first in East China and fifth in China.

    From this we can see what a huge iron mine this is.

    There are iron mines and coal mines.

    In later generations, Huainan and Huaibei were the thirteenth largest coal bases in the country.

    There are currently 13 coal bases, and Zhou Weiguo has two of them. Isn¡¯t it better?Can heavy industry be developed?

    In fact, Zhou Weiguo also ignored one place, and that was Ma'anshan.

    In later generations, this place was one of the top ten steel bases.

    It¡¯s just this geographical knowledge that Zhou Weiguo has forgotten after a long time.

    ¡°After all, for future generations, ask a few people to find out who among them can accurately name all the thirteen major coal bases and the ten major steel bases.

    I¡¯m afraid there aren¡¯t many people!

    Since there are iron ores, coal mines, and other metal and non-metal minerals, and the conditions for building heavy industry are in place, it is natural to start preparatory work.

    On October 11, 1938, Zhou Weiguo ordered the formation of a survey team to conduct mineral resource surveys on the land under his jurisdiction.

    At the same time, because these survey teams need to survey such a range, they lack talents and equipment.

    Zhou Weiguo had to spend millions of system points again to exchange a lot of surveying talents and machinery and equipment, focusing on accurate surveys of places like Lu'an in the Dabie Mountains.

    As time passed, news began to come back from the area ruled by Zhou Weiguo.

    The first is the Huainan and Huaibei regions. A large number of coal mines have indeed been discovered in these two places. As for the specific reserves, they are still under investigation.

    However, according to predictions, this is indeed a large-scale coalfield that is rare in this era.

    ¡°Subsequently, news came out from the Lu¡¯an area that various mineral resources were discovered in the Lu¡¯an area.

    There is indeed a large amount of iron ore in it.

    Then news came one after another from various places.

    Only then did this boy Zhou Weiguo realize that the place he occupied was not simply economically prosperous. The place where light industry was developed could also be used to develop heavy industry.

    Then on October 15, 1938, news came from Ma'anshan that a large-scale iron ore was discovered in Ma'anshan. Its reserves were the largest ever discovered in China in this era. The reserves were the largest, even greater than the iron ore reserves discovered in Lu'an.  Be big.

    When he got the news that a huge iron mine had been discovered in Ma'anshan, Zhou Weiguo slapped his head.

    He then remembered that when he was in junior high school geography class, he remembered that Ma Shang was indeed one of the top ten steel bases in the country.

    Zhou Weiguo then asked Zhou Gen to remove some of the managers from the Zhou family, and he wanted to start building heavy industry.

    The first thing to build is the steel mill and coal mining.

    These are the two most important things in this era.

    As for the technical workers and engineers below, they can all be redeemed from within the system.

    Now Zhou Weiguo still has about 400 million system points in his hands.

    The previous purchase of three heavy cruisers cost 360 million system points.

    After that, more than 10 million system points were spent one after another.

    And during this period, from July 20 to September 20, most of the time was spent fighting.

    System points obtained by destroying the little devils and system points obtained by increasing the territory.

    The total of these totals more than 200 million system points, plus the remaining 100 million or so, there are almost 400 million system points.

    After all, more than 7 million system points are added every day.

    The system points that have grown in this half month have exceeded 100 million.

    Exchanging talents, exchanging industrial machinery and equipment, etc., all loading together cost Zhou Weiguo more than 80 million system points.

    This thing is really a waste of money.

    Just building these things actually requires so many system points.

    There is no way, even the talent exchange requires a lot of system points.

    Don¡¯t look at it that many talents seem to be worthless. One talent can be exchanged for several thousand system points, and some of the lowest-level ones only have a few hundred, not even one thousand.

    But it can¡¯t handle the large quantity!

    To build a large-scale steel base, there are a lot of talents needed here!

    The coal base is a little better. Basic coal workers can be recruited from the people below, but the technical staff inside cannot be done!

    And the required level is not low.

    ??The next step is the machinery and equipment, all kinds of machinery and equipment, especially the construction of a large steel base.

    A lot of equipment is required, and these equipment are extremely expensive.

    Some equipment, just one piece, is more expensive than a hundred T34s combined!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
