spn "Director Xu, do you have a problem with me?"

He Chenghui is a workshop director at Tianyi Clothing Factory in Fangchenggang, Guangxi. Like all Chinese women in the new era, she is married and has a child. Because she received the new education in the southwest in her early years, she is considered a new generation of young people. After graduation,

Then he entered the Tianyi Garment Factory and worked in technical and management positions until he became the workshop director.

When the worker heard that the factory director was looking for him, he quickly found a workshop team leader to look after the production line and rushed to the factory director's office.

As the third largest garment factory in Fangchenggang, Tianyi Garment Factory is mainly divided into four parts: clothing design department, mid-to-high-end handmade clothing department, mass clothing department, and special clothing department. Before the outbreak of World War II, it focused on luxury-level mid-to-high-end clothing.

Both domestic sales and exports were selling well, and the high-end handmade cheongsams of the handmade clothing department were also selling well. However, when World War II broke out, the business of the special clothing department suddenly took off like a soaring rocket.

Xu Wansan, the owner of Tianyi Garment Factory, is a native of southwest China. He was a worker in a garment factory in Dongchuan District with active ideas. Later, when he had some savings, he relied on his own skills to recruit a group of tailors and began to produce some

New clothing. Being familiar with some common new clothing styles, he quickly made enough capital through this small-scale clothing production.[

After buying back a batch of new sewing machines from Yunnan, his Tianyi Clothing Factory was finally officially established. In the next ten years of "exploration", although there were ups and downs, it developed very quickly, relying on the new domestically produced sewing machines.

The production efficiency of clothing machines has been greatly improved, and with the help of new local fabric factories in Fangchenggang, raw materials are cheap.

In addition to some products being sold at home and abroad, most of the expensive clothing produced from new fabrics was sold abroad after obtaining the clothing design patent authorization from Shusheng Company and the National Patent Office.

However, in order to achieve lasting development, Xu Wansan still developed his own fashion design department. He recruited several outstanding graduates of the fashion design major with great potential from the fashion design majors of several universities such as Southwest University and Guilin University to form his own department.

Fashion design team.

"Xiao He, come on, come on, sit down."

"In the factory director's office." Xu Wansan looked through the factory shipment list in his hand and couldn't help but feel happy. But when he saw the orders on the side, he frowned again.

"Director, we can't do without people in the workshop. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly." This is He Chenghui's character. Like most Chinese people in the new era, the concept of respect and inferiority is relatively weak, and more of them are

The seriousness and pragmatism that were cultivated in school.

"Xiao He, is there any way to speed up the current production progress in the workshop?" Xu Wansan said with some embarrassment. The current situation is like there is money everywhere waiting to be grabbed. As long as enough products can be produced, they can be loaded one by one.

Jing Xiaorun can sell high amounts of money when he goes to Europe. "You also know that when there is a war in Europe, the soldiers always have to

For those who wear clothes, there is a clothing gap of hundreds of thousands or millions. With the foundation of these old industrial countries, they are not short of output. What they are short of is time. We who make military uniforms are robbing us of this little time. Wait until they start from

After various colonies mobilize raw materials and start factories to produce them, our market will be smaller."

"Director, I don't know about other workshops. The garment workshop I am responsible for has already maximized its work efficiency. Encouraged by high bonuses, the workers have exerted great energy to make a piece of clothing.

This level of incentive is already the maximum. If you speed up the speed any further, the quality of the product will be compromised. You know, within the scope of the labor law, we have already implemented a three-shift work system." He Chenghui understood what the boss meant.

, It is a fool to leave money without making money. Now the whole country has entered an era of unprecedented foreign trade economic growth. The export of anything related to military supplies and daily necessities has reached a new height.

Countries declared war on each other, and the original normal trade relations between many countries collapsed instantly. Instead, it became China and the United States to provide goods to these countries. And in the world, only these two major countries announced that they would remain neutral. And

Only China and the United States can do business with the Germans, British, French, Italians, Russians, Dutch, and Japanese at the same time.

Military uniforms, military medical equipment, kettles, boots, raincoats, lighters, chewing gum...even the foreign trade export volume of chocolate and Coca-Cola has increased dramatically. And the number of these daily chemical products and special manufacturing factories in China has even increased

There are more factories than in the United States. They are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. On the basis of the original foreign trade, the number of factories in various industries has increased dramatically. Under the effective guidance of the "government", they have begun to grab the huge cake brought by the war just like landing on the beach.

"It seems that the only way to expand the scale of the factory is to expand the factory." Xu Wansan thought for a while and analyzed the news he read in the newspaper. The scale of this war may be larger than World War I, and a protracted war consumes the most except the ones that cannot be produced by oneself.

Apart from weapons and medicine, these are basic military supplies. I am not planning to produce any military kettles or lighters, nor can I produce chocolates or military drinks specially sold for export, but I can still do my job.

He calculated carefully, "If these countries were to arm tens of millions of troops just like in World War I, then even if only one-tenth of the quantity was purchased by [China], it would be enough for the current scale of national special clothing."

The industry has been operating in three shifts for two years.

"Boss, are you really ready to expand? This is the third time we've hired people this month." He Chenghui said with some worry. It's not that she didn't understand the current situation, but she was still a little worried about such a crazy expansion speed.

"Don't worry, look at what the newspapers say. This war will last for a long time, and the interrupted trade between countries must find new trading countries to supplement the share. China and the United States are both the best.

Choice: "Our costs, raw materials, and clothing production technology are not comparable to those of Americans. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Xu Wansan said heartily. "I have already decided, Xiao He, as the factory's most important

Important workshop director, you have to take on more important responsibilities."

He has made up his mind to use the factory as collateral to apply for a loan from the bank to double the factory's size. If he wins the bet, he will make money for the rest of his life. If he loses the bet, at worst, all these years of work will be in vain.

And at Fangchenggang Pier 1, which is more than five kilometers away from Tianyi Garment Factory, the scene was even more heated.

As the main foreign trade port, Fangcheng Port relies on the booming industrial advantages of the entire Southwest, and has always been very effective in export trade. The development of Fangcheng Port from the small Fangcheng Port to the national big city today is because of the development that began in the Southwest period.

The huge impact of comprehensive overseas trade.

From a small city to a medium-sized city, and now a big city with two million people, Fangchenggang City is a representative of the emerging cities of the Republic, as well as the new capital of the Republic, Hanking City, the southernmost territory of the Republic, Hanzhong Special Zone, the southwest important town of Yibin, etc.

The four cities are known as the four new cities of the Republic.

From a small shallow water pier back then to today's Pier 1, Pier 2, and Pier 3, it has taken on most of the export tasks produced in the southwest. Pier 1 is for foreign countries, and Pier 2 is for domestic Pier 3.

Take advantage of the berthing of large ships.[

Now, since World War II, all kinds of export goods have increased dramatically. Although the Chinese government has been prepared and the commercial and foreign trade departments have coordinated, they are still stunned by the huge scale that appears instantly.

The entire Pier 1 is not only filled with cargo ships from all over the world, but there is also a queue outside the port waiting for the pilot ship to lead the port. There are fleets from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan...

In addition to purchasing from China the goods originally purchased from the warring countries, these trade fleets also purchased goods in high demand, including a large amount of military supplies purchased for the upcoming war, and huge amounts of new medicines including penicillin.

, medical equipment, online radio stations...

Because the war started too hastily, the British, who were prepared but completely insufficient in military preparations for war expansion, had expanded their army troops from less than 300,000 at the beginning of the year to more than 500,000, but the Germans' strong military expansion still made Britain and France nervous, and

With the launch of three new aircraft carriers in Germany, which had abandoned its battleships, the British government began to realize that the pure navy and air force could only protect themselves, while the army was still the only way to solve ground battles.

Due to the many butterfly effects brought about by Zhang Shusheng, although the British were already in a period of decline, they still had enough energy and began to expand their military and prepare for war at full speed.

In addition to the lack of various combat readiness resources and military supplies, even the inventory of rifles, subs, artillery, and cannons appears to be insufficient. Compared with Germany and Japan, which are well prepared, Japan's inventory is enough to arm 1 million people.

, while Germany had more, enough to arm 34 million people. The Soviets relied on the strong centralized production capacity of socialism and were able to quickly arm a large number of troops. In contrast, a large number of small and medium-sized European countries were the least prepared.

Therefore, after the official outbreak of World War II, orders from Europe flew to China like snowflakes. In addition to looking for trade substitute countries to replace the countries that had declared war, they also purchased large quantities of war-related materials.

〖China〗 In the southwest and southeast industrial areas of China, the materials brought to the port through railways and highways every day are piled up as high as mountains in the port storage area. The British can't even wait for domestic machines to start producing their specialty Enfield rifles, because they discovered that,

〖Chinese〗The trial-produced Enfield rifles that the Chinese are selling to their doorsteps are actually on par with the British-made Enfields in terms of performance. However, after adding in shipping costs, the price is actually much cheaper than the domestically produced ones.

Subsequently, the British ordered several shiploads of arms from China, including Enfield rifles and a large number of ammunition, which directly emptied one of the twenty "foreign trade warehouses" that the Republic had reserved in advance for the war.

"Coming, coming..."

"Container Zone at Pier 1." When a cargo ship filled with empty containers arrived at the port, the merchants who had been waiting for a long time were shocked. The most lacking thing in major ports now is containers. The "government" department and Shusheng Company organize a large number of containers every day.

Containers are rushing to major ports. What these businessmen are waiting for is the loading of the containers.

The same situation is also happening in major ports in southern China.

Especially along the southwest and southeast coasts, the concentration of large, medium and small factories can make Americans sigh with emotion at the industrial potential of the Chinese people, the Chinese machinery factories, and even the three-shift machines that are constantly popping up all over the country.

Factories provide machinery, and after obtaining valid mortgages, banks actively extend loans to these small and medium-sized enterprises.

"Chairman, the current economic situation is very good. In terms of foreign trade, we have almost shared the huge trade growth brought about by the war with the Americans. Compared with the Americans, we have more excellent [drugs], high-quality

Quality military uniforms and product prices are also lower.

All the major ports were overcrowded with ships. Together with the Americans, we snatched the first batch of gains after the war.

Now the foreign trade export volume has increased throughout September, and this number is very remarkable."

Minister of Commerce Liu Dengke reported to Zhang Shusheng in his office.

Zhang Shusheng nodded. He was very satisfied with this result. Although the more than 20 "foreign trade reserve warehouses" all belonged to the "government" of the Republic and Shusheng Company, the overall growth in foreign trade brought about by the outbreak of World War II also benefited.

There are an increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises in southwest and southeast China.

And this is just the beginning. The war has just started. What is affected is normal trade and arms trade. Only when the warehouses are really opened to sell arms, that is the only huge benefit. Of course, there are also huge

All war materials can be sold as long as the price is sufficient. However, these materials do not need to be taken from China, but from resources secretly controlled by Shusheng Company around the world.

In order to support other countries in continuing the war and fighting more intensely, selling supplies and military supplies is just the beginning. Next, the war machine of the Republic will also be fully activated.

However, "China" will not equip itself with a large selection of medium and low-performance guns and ammunition, even aircraft, cannons, tanks, and even warships. These middle-to-lower weapons and equipment will be exported in large quantities.

Together with Americans, sell to someone in need.

"Our secret negotiations with the Americans were also very successful. The U.S. government promised to remain consistent with us on the principle of maintaining absolute neutrality, and to adopt a common advance and retreat strategy in trade with the belligerent countries to ensure that trade can proceed.

"[

It was Zhou Guolai who spoke, because Foreign Minister Li Zongren is about to be promoted to the post of Secretary-General of the Supreme Power Council of the Chinese Nation, and the position of Foreign Minister will be held by Zhou Guolai. At the same time, as a special exception, he will also serve as Deputy Minister of the Government Affairs Council with his position as Foreign Minister.

Prime Minister.

After more than six years of accumulation and growth, Zhou Guolai has been able to take over from Sun Changqing. The government affairs and diplomatic work of the Republic will enter a new era.

The Americans will play a very important role in the upcoming war and trade. Zhang Shusheng hopes that the two countries can form a trade alliance to ensure that at least in the early stages of the war, trade with the belligerent countries can be maintained normalized.

Otherwise, [China] and the United States will passively stand on the other side. This is a thing that is beneficial to both [China] and the United States. The Americans have insufficient military power, and the [Chinese] people have less international influence than the United States.

The secret trade alliance formed by the combination of the two is quite influential. Britain, France, Germany, Japan and Italy can both obtain international trade to strengthen their war strength. It can also allow both sides to take advantage of China and the United States.

Remain acquiescent.

"Chairman of the Generalissimo. Northwest Secret Telegram!"

"Eh? Let me take a look."

Zhang Shusheng suddenly became interested, and told Liu Dengke and Zhou Guolai a few words, asking them to start seizing the trade fruits brought by the war step by step, and then he looked at the northwest secret telegram in his hand.

"Okay, very good. Although I have been paying attention to it all the time, I didn't expect that the Sun Project would reach this point in just one episode. Time flies so fast. I can go to Lop Nur next month to see it. I hope everything goes well."

Good luck."
