Chapter 343: Awaken the Brave Tiger and Upgrade! Navy Family Bucket!

It was 3 a.m. on November 25, 1941.

At the moment when all officers and soldiers of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region withdrew from Datong, Huang He, who was far away at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Taiyuan, was forced to end his dream because of an abnormal 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, it's so late at night that I can't sleep well. Can't I be reminded after dawn if there is anything?"

The movement just now was known to be a reminder given by the system without thinking. There was a similar situation during the Hundred Regiments Campaign.

However, despite complaining, Huang still quietly lit the kerosene lamp on the bedside table, and then concentrated on checking the new changes in the awakening tiger system.

"Come on, let me see what new things have appeared this time."

After opening the system in his mind, the first two new modules that came into view were: the international market and the military-industrial organization.

The former, as the name suggests, is simply an international trade system. It can matchmake and find buyers or sellers when it has idle factories for civilian workers.

Once Huanghe meets certain preconditions, the module is activated in the Awakening the Tiger system.

Then in reality, there will be countries or forces that meet the conditions to contact the Eighth Route Army to negotiate the details of the transaction.

It is 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 the two sides reach an agreement, then Mr. Dai will sell 1,000 Hotchkiss heavy machine guns to the Eighth Route Army.

However, the problem of transportation requires the buyer to find a way by himself, and the buyer has to pay real money or barter.

Never underestimate the opportunity of a transaction. During the turbulent world war, few companies are able to sell weapons, not to mention that not everyone is qualified to buy.

Why did the Yunnan Army use French weapons in the early days, but now they can only live a hard life with other local troops? It is because General Baima has lost the purchase channel.

Similarly, Huanghe can also consume the monthly production capacity of a civilian factory and let Free France, which lacks army weapons, come to Shanxi to purchase.

If the representatives of both sides can reach an agreement, then Mr. Dai can pay for a certain amount of weapons, but he has to find a way to transport them.

After reading the text introduction, Huang He fell into a brief period of thinking.

Before he traveled to the world of Bright Sword, there was also a professional weapons trading system in a certain 7+ coloring game: 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 foundation to obtain a large number of weapons and equipment under the premise of war.

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

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

Now it's good, the dog system has not only completed the update itself, but also completed the functions it should have. And this international market module is much simpler and cruder than the Lend-Lease Act.

If Baldy had this system, he could directly give up the development of domestic light and heavy industries and happily be a comprador who gets kickbacks.

After all, Guofu's current military industry system is definitely a representative of being inferior to the best but better than the worst. They do have the ability to produce basic infantry weapons, which is much better than the poor African countries.

But compared with the old military powers in the same camp such as the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, the insignificant production capacity is not worth mentioning.

Using the awakening brave tiger system, Guangtou even had the opportunity to successfully complete the "60 reorganized division plan" before 1936, and it was not 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 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 you spend a certain amount of civilian factory production capacity, you can demand trading opportunities.

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

"Hey, why didn't this international market appear earlier? If it had been available in the winter of 1939, the 129th Division might have been able to calmly deal with the First Army's raid."

"Even if it was updated during the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the three main forces could have reduced the sacrifice."

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

The current Eighth Route Army has the ability to produce standard infantry light weapons, and even various fighters, tanks and barreled guns.

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

In the near future, the troops will have more advanced armored forces, so there is no need to spend money to buy tanks in the north.

As for artillery, the 75-mm and 120-mm mortars are enough to cope with the current intensity of the war. Heavier howitzers are not suitable for use in the terrain of North China for the time being.

In this way, there is no need to think about buying, and you can consider selling some equipment to make a fortune in the war.

······

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

It was an anchor carved from steel, very similar to a magic game developed by the white-haired guy in my memory.

"Ah?"

"What is this? A combination of Swedish stupid ass and 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 be able to reach the top of the world, but the navy has not even started.

It can't be blamed on the border area for not paying attention to this branch of the army. The main reason is that the strength of the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master is not enough, and they are not qualified to touch this field for the time being.

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

The plan works!

Arrange in advance!

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

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

It was an endless sea, and the surrounding islands were full of Chinese-style temples and pavilions. A giant red dragon sculpture surrounded the port with its body.

Faintly, one could still hear the faint love song of Kangding.

"Is this Longgang?"

Soon, Huang He figured out everything.

The port in front of him was not the system loading the module of the Minx Shipyard again, but it just found a scene that he was more familiar with.

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

The first thing that came into view was naturally the glory of the Gallic Navy, the Iris Star of Falasey, the spokesperson of 1190, the famous Richelieu battleship.

The two quadruple 380mm large tubes and many secondary gun groups of different calibers all indicate her powerful combat effectiveness.

Behind Richelieu was Jean Bart, who had only completed the hull engineering and installed a main gun turret.

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

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

Due to the slow construction speed of the French Navy, the Richelieu and Jean Bart sisters were not completed before the surrender. Before that, the facade of the navy had always been the Dunkirk and Strasbourg.

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

There are relatively more light cruisers in the port, with six La Galissonnière class ships at the forefront, two Duguet-Trouin class ships following closely behind, and one Emile Bertin class at the end.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the dragon sculpture, there is also a large number of destroyer formations.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing for Huang He is the existence of super models such as the Mogador class. The full load displacement of that thing even exceeds 4,000 tons, which is 600 tons more than the Gearing class in the late World War II, and the maximum speed can reach 43 knots.

In a sense, it is not too much to call her a light cruiser.

In addition to the above-mentioned ships, the widest position of the port also has a Béarn aircraft carrier parked. This grandmother-class battleship was the only aircraft carrier of France during World War II.

"What a delicious pancake, I'm afraid the system's update is not teasing me."

"If the Eighth Route Army can get so many ships, as long as they are properly trained, they 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 naval sequence of Vichy France, and the ships under the command of Free France account for a very small number.

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

Otherwise, the big babies will all sink in Toulon Port.

Huang He naturally cannot do such a loss-making business, and the border area has no ability and will not make it crazy.

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

······

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

In the past, there were not many manufacturers available for Huanghe to choose from. Among them, there were four infantry factories, including the Taiyuan Arsenal, two armored factories that have not yet been touched, and three air forces.

These manufacturers can provide various bonuses to the military factories in the system, which is definitely a treasure of more, the better.

However, the unlocking process is very cumbersome. Either you must control the corresponding area, or you must pass a long-term large-scale decision.

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

After this system upgrade, as long as it is a super-large factory in the occupied area of ​​​​the Fourth Master or the Eighth Master, it is eligible to become a manufacturer recognized by the system.

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