    In mid-March, the snow was already beginning to melt.

    Although it has not melted completely, once the snow begins to melt, it will not take long for all the snow to melt and then be exposed on the surface.

    And the temperature also began to gradually warm up. It was also from this time that the number of military columns transported from China to the Siberian front suddenly began to increase.

    At the same time, because the snow began to melt and there was no more heavy snow, transport planes from China to the Siberian front also began to transport heavily.

    Liu Zhihui specially recruited 500 transport planes from Air Force Commander Liu Suigang to continuously transport weapons and ammunition, as well as fuel and other materials to the front line in order to prepare for the upcoming battle involving millions of people.

    You know, China’s military is now a big oil-hungry.  All troops are equipped with armored personnel carriers, as well as logistics vehicles and so on.

    Once so many vehicles are started, how much fuel will be consumed in a day?

    This is completely impossible to calculate because there are too many.

    At the same time, there are tanks, planes, etc. in the back. Isn’t one of them a big gas eater?

    So among the military columns, many military columns transported a large amount of fuel to Siberia.

    As for weapons and ammunition, a lot of them need to be carried. The Chinese army has fierce firepower.

    But the price is the extremely high requirements on logistics.

    Whether it is a G43 semi-automatic rifle, a Browning M2 heavy machine gun or an MG34 general machine gun, these all require massive amounts of ammunition.

    From this, you can imagine how many weapons and ammunition must be transported to the front line to supply the more than two million troops behind.

    This is also the reason why Liu Zhihui is crazy about transporting weapons and ammunition to the front line.

    Even under such transportation, Liu Zhihui was still worried about what to do if the fighting on the front line was too fierce and there was not enough ammunition.

    When this question was reported to Zhou Weiguo, he was also thinking about it.

    After thinking for less than an hour, Zhou Weiguo came up with a way.

    ?…

    March 16, 1940, Zhou Mansion, study room

    “Brother Wen, now our logistics is constantly transporting supplies to Siberia for storage, but I’m afraid these supplies are still not enough.

    As you know, our army has very high requirements for fuel and ammunition.  Once we launch an attack, we will engage in a major battle involving millions of people, and there will be more than 100,000 armored vehicles and trucks running.  After such a battle, we need to consume a lot of fuel.

    So I think you can give us some more time?  Otherwise, insufficient ammunition reserves may affect the subsequent war!  "

    Liu Zhihui sat on the sofa and looked at Zhou Weiguo sitting there and said anxiously.

    Because the time given to him by Zhou Weiguo was very tight, he had to reserve all the supplies before March 30th.

    "Well! I know the problem you mentioned. For now, according to your speed, maybe time is not enough.

    “The fuel you transport to Siberia accounts for nearly half of the transportation volume.

    Now I have thought of a way. Although the transport speed is not as fast as a transport plane, it is much faster than a train.

    ??And this kind of thing has a lot of carrying capacity!  "

    Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette for himself and said.

    "any solution?"

    "Use an airship!"

    Zhou Weiguo said while blowing out a smoke ring.

    Airship, not bad!  Zhou Weiguo's idea was to use an airship.

    Hydrogen airships are indeed prone to explosion and are very dangerous.

    But if the airship is built with helium, such an accident will not happen.

    Helium, a lazy gas, can completely replace hydrogen.

    "Huh? Airship?"

    Liu Zhihui looked at Zhou Weiguo dullly and said, the carrying capacity of the airship is indeed quite large.

    The carrying capacity is dozens of tons at every turn.  This transportation capacity is much greater than that of a transport aircraft.

    And the speed is not slow, but does Liu Zhihui know that airships are not only dangerous, but even if they want airships, they are in no hurry to build them!

    "That's right! It's an airship. Although the speed of an airship is not as fast as that of an airplane, it is still a good mode of transportation."

    Zhou Weiguo nodded, confirming Liu Zhihui's guess.

      "But airships are prone to explosions! The Dé country has had accidents due to airships before."

    Liu Zhihui said a little dumbfounded.

    "That's because they use hydrogen as the gas, but what if we change it to a different kind of gas? What if we change it to a less explosive gas?"

    Zhou Weiguo looked at Liu Zhihui with a smile and said.

    "Non-explosive gas? What gas? Does it exist?"

    Liu Zhihui said with a frown.

    "Of course! Helium! This is an inert gas, it is not easy to explode and has high safety. It can completely replace hydrogen!"

    Zhou Weiguo mentioned this gas, but Liu Zhihui had a look of embarrassment on his face.

    "Brother Wen, I know about helium. It is indeed an inert gas. But it is very difficult to collect. And the cost of helium is also very high.

    The country with the largest helium storage in the world is the United States.  But they themselves don't store much, and what they have is only relatively speaking at most.  Moreover, this gas has applications in military industry, scientific research, petrochemicals, refrigeration, medical treatment, and metal manufacturing.

    The United States cannot sell it to us.  If we make it ourselves, I'm afraid the cost will be very high!  "

    Helium is difficult to make and is very important in many places.

    Historically, Germany once built a helium-based airship, but because they had insufficient helium and the United States simply did not sell it, they finally gave up.

    Of course Zhou Weiguo understood what Liu Zhihui meant, looked at it and chuckled: "Don't worry about these things. After you go down, hurry up and build the airship manufacturing factory. Regarding the helium problem, I will solve it. You just need to build the airship as soon as possible."  , and then just apply it to the military field!"

    Zhou Weiguo will solve it?  How to solve it?  Of course it was solved using the system.

    Helium, strictly speaking, is also a resource and is still free in the system.

    There are as many as you want. The problems faced by Germany can be easily solved by the system.

    This is also the reason why Zhou Weiguo decided to produce helium airships.

    Zhou Weiguo is not stupid, and he also has a lot of knowledge. Of course he knows that the cost of producing helium is high and it is impossible for other countries to sell it.

    Otherwise, why would he bring up the idea of ??building a helium airship?

    "Okay! Since you said so, Brother Wen, I will set up an airship manufacturing factory immediately after I go down, but the output cannot be too high at the beginning to solve our urgent needs!"

    Liu Zhihui took a deep breath and said.

    "Haha! I'll give you some time to relax. Don't worry! The war can't start yet. The snow in northern my country has begun to melt, but the snow in Siberia is still very thick!

    "And we have a hard time mobilizing supplies, and it's even more difficult for Lao Maozi."  Go ahead and prepare boldly!  "

    "Yes! Brother Wen, I'll leave first!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
