Chapter 548: Draw a Pie for the Commander
Chapter 548: Draw a Pie for the Commander
When Yu Ye reported the planning blueprint to the commander, the commander and other senior military officers were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say.
The division political commissar, in particular, was so stunned when he saw the blueprint drawn up by Yu Ye and his group of students.
"Xu Yu, Director Yu, and Deputy Mayor Yu, you have really aroused our greed. I'm afraid we have always dreamed of owning a city like this."
The commander was a little moved. In his opinion, this city was so good that he could hardly believe that it would become a reality in the future.
However, the commander remained calm: "Xiao Yu, your plan is so good, but now is a time of war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn it into reality?
Or, in other words, it would be difficult to build without ten years of peace and prosperity.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Ye smiled slightly, shook his head, and stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of the leaders.
Hiss, everyone present took a breath of cold air.
"Deputy Mayor Yu, are you sure it will only take five years? And during a time of war?"
The commander couldn't contain his excitement and asked.
"There's no joking in the army, guaranteed!"
Yu Ye said with a smile.
Everyone present widened their eyes. The young comrade in front of them had created enough miracles, and everyone present had great trust in him, but the idea proposed by this young comrade was still too astonishing.
“As for the peaceful days that the commander and the division commander mentioned, I don’t think the devils will give them to us, but peace can never be begged for.
We called!
Next, the task of cutting through the melons and vegetables and creating a peaceful situation will be handed over to all comrades.
Just use the weapons I made for you to bring about peace.
I will build this city for you later!"
Yu Ye's words were spoken in a very plain manner, but the emotions hidden within were passionate.
These veterans are used to battlefields and life and death. Their emotions have long been cultivated to a certain level, but they still cannot control themselves in the face of Yu Ye's big pie.
Many comrades craned their necks and blushed, they were very excited.
After everyone calmed down, the commander also calmed down, stared at Yu Ye and said, "Tell me, you told me so much, how do you want us to support you?
To be honest, we have been completely trapped by you. We will not be able to rest in peace until we achieve this goal."
The commander stared at Yu Ye, as if he wanted to penetrate Yu Ye's eyes and look straight into his heart.
Yu Ye was a little embarrassed. It had to be the commander who saw through what was hidden behind Yu Ye's map of Yan State at a glance.
"Hehe, I can't hide it from you. I want to end this battle as soon as possible and sacrifice fewer comrades. I have an idea for making weapons of mass destruction, but I need a huge amount of resources to support it, so..."
Yu Ye was too embarrassed to continue.
"What kind of weapon of mass destruction? Is it the bomb that you have been hiding and only telling me about?" the commander said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Commander. One of these bombs can kill hundreds of thousands of devils."
Yu Ye said in a low voice.
"hiss......"
Several senior military officers around who heard the news took a deep breath at the same time.
"Has any other country tried this before? Is it reliable? How can we verify it?"
Yu Ye had mentioned it several times before, and had made some preparations overtly and covertly, but the commander didn't pay much attention to it. But when Yu Ye brought it up so seriously on this occasion today, the commander also became serious and cautious.
"Germany is doing it, the United States is preparing, and they have both come a long way. However, this is my inference based on some publicly available information.
This should be top secret information and difficult to verify.”
Yu Ye said frankly.
The resources required for the development of the atomic bomb are enormous, simply unimaginable. Even with the United States' status as the world's number one industrial country at this moment, it is difficult to gather all the resources in a short period of time. The only way for this project to succeed is for the president to issue an executive order to give it a status that transcends all other priorities.
What's more, China's industrial base is extremely weak, and with its current resources, it will probably be extremely difficult.
Um......
After hearing Yu Ye's reply, the commander and a group of senior military officers were a little hesitant. If it was really as Yu Ye said, even Germany and the United States would have to consume huge amounts of resources, and China today might not be able to afford it.
What's more, using so many resources to exchange for an unproven object, if these resources were used to make guns and cannons, how many weapons could be produced?
This is a shocking gamble!
No one present was able to make a decision.
After a long pause, the commander said, "Director Yu, have you calculated how much money and resources are needed?"
Yu Ye looked at the commander and said seriously: "Commander, I may need the country's top science and engineering talents, all the resources we can control in the entire Jin area, all the taxes within a year, dozens of factories in different fields, the country's and even the world's top lathe operators, fitters, etc...."
The more Yu Ye spoke, the quieter his voice became. In fact, during this period Yu Ye had been thinking carefully about whether it was possible to build an atomic bomb with the current industrial level. The more he thought about it, the more painful it became.
In the original timeline, when planning to build the atomic bomb nearly twenty years later, there was also a saying that they would rather sell their pants than not make the atomic bomb.
"Director Yu, let me express my personal opinion first. If this bomb is really a strategic-level weapon as you said, I support you in making it!
I believe that you don't need these resources right away. During the next period of time, we will save the resources you need from our rations even if we have to be frugal.
However, as for the top science and engineering talents and the best workers you need in the country, these may be a little difficult..."
Yu Ye interrupted the commander directly: "Commander, don't worry, scholars also have patriotic enthusiasm. Sometimes, they just have no way to serve the country.
Sometimes, all they need is a letter.”
It's like everyone knows how to ask for help.
With the support of Southwest Associated University, the strongest university in Chinese history, Yu Ye didn't believe that he couldn't attract people.
“In addition, I believe that our workers have power. People with science and engineering backgrounds will have it, and our top workers will also have it.”
