Chapter 1637 1638 Can’t move away
The earth was shaking constantly, countless black smoke pillars rose into the sky, there were deafening explosions everywhere, and the helpless cries of dwarves were everywhere.
Ironforge, an ancient city that has not experienced war in the past twenty years. The last time it was attacked was when the Ice Kingdom entered the city during the Dwarf Civil War, it was trembling under the bombing of the Tang army.
Buildings collapsed one after another. Factory chimneys that were smoking thickly broke and collapsed during the explosion. Towering factory buildings also collapsed under the devastation of bombs.
The mechanical equipment in the building could no longer operate. Some workers were crushed to death and buried by rubble, and some fled the collapsed factory in a panic.
A bomb happened to hit the power equipment, causing a power outage in a large area of the city and factories. The helpless workers looked up at the sky and saw only the Tang Army plane that had gone away.
The Tang Army's bombing had ended at this time, and 40 Ares bombers had flown over Ironforge. They gradually disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a messy city.
People got up from the ground, looked at the surrounding rubble, looked at the huge crater in the distance, looked at the collapsed buildings, looked at the damaged factory chimneys, and didn't know what to do.
Shrill air defense sirens still echoed in the sky, and explosions could be heard from time to time. They were inside the bombed buildings, and some flammable and explosive things exploded again in the fire.
The firetruck finally drove out. They bypassed the large hole in the ground and rushed to the factory that was still on fire. They began to prioritize the rescue of the more valuable factory buildings and facilities.
The dwarves' industrial equipment is the basis for their continued war. These things are much more valuable than the houses in the civilian areas of Ironforge. Thick water jets sprayed on the dancing flames, and acrid black smoke floated in the air.
The crowd of onlookers covered their noses and looked numbly at the place where they were working just now. This is an important steel factory and was once one of the symbols of Ironforge.
At that time, humans from Datang Group helped build the factory, provided advanced equipment, and trained relevant staff.
Since that time, the factory has been producing steel for the dwarves. But now, the people who built this factory have returned and turned it into ruins with their own hands.
Because there are some pressure equipment in the factory, explosions will occur from time to time during the burning. Firefighters dare not approach easily and can only spray water from a distance to extinguish the scary flames.
The boss of the factory saw that most of his hard work was destroyed in an instant. He stood in the crowd with a haggard heart and could not even cry a single tear.
Now he has no way to provide his country with another ton of qualified steel. The tank factory on the other side is still waiting for qualified steel, and production is expected to gradually stop.
The previous overproduction has almost exhausted the reserves. Now many raw materials have to be deployed while producing. As long as there is a problem in one link, it will affect the overall production speed.
This was just a small-scale bombing, and the Tang army did not even use precision-guided weapons. Such an attack was probably just to tell the dwarves that the Tang people had made preparations for a strategic attack. When they come next time, these Tang people will definitely drop more bombs and destroy more things... If the dwarves don't want to suffer more losses, they should think carefully at this moment whether they should choose a more dignified option. , way to end the war.
About half an hour later, a car stopped at the entrance of the factory that was hit by the bomb. The official responsible for organizing production got out of the car and hurried into the still smoking factory.
In the factory director's office, which was not affected, the haggard official sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and asked nervously: "How is it? Can production be resumed as soon as possible?"
The factory director answered his question with a wry smile: "We have lost two factories. It seems that the damage is not serious. We will be able to resume production tomorrow afternoon, but the production capacity will definitely be reduced... maybe one-third."
In fact, the scale of this bombing cannot destroy Ironforge's industrial production capacity. It is more like a warning, or an omen.
The official breathed a sigh of relief, took a puff of cigarette, nodded and praised: "It sounds pretty good, at least two-thirds of the production can be restored."
"That's not what I'm worried about, sir." The factory director still looked sad. What he was really worried about was not the immediate losses, but that the immediate losses were just the beginning.
“What do you mean?” The official probably guessed something, but still asked subconsciously.
The factory director stood up and walked to the official: "Sir, there will be a second bombing like this. If we are bombed like this several times, our production will be interrupted. This will almost certainly happen." Things that happened."
Factories are too obvious targets for the air force. They have smoking chimneys, rails for transporting materials, and square factory buildings and warehouses...
From the sky, the factory area always has obvious characteristics. As long as the opponent is willing to attack, there will always be some bombs falling in the factory area. This time Tang Jun dropped the bomb at high altitude, and there was no accuracy, but next time... it's hard to say.
"I understand that you are worried, but we don't have a better way now." The official explained with some embarrassment: "The people from the War Production Bureau hope that we can move the factory to Sipani... But now this situation , it’s hard to say how much better Sephani will be.”
Moving the factory at this time is not a good option. The speed at which they can move equipment and reorganize production may not be as fast as Tang Jun's advancement. Therefore, until the front is stabilized, relocating the factory is just a plan.
The factory director also knew that this would not work, so he said: "Just relocating one factory will not do anything, sir. But if they are all relocated, production will have to be suspended."
"We have no way to suspend production. The front lines are waiting for weapons and equipment. They want rifles, bullets, tanks and cannons, and helmets... As soon as we stop here, they will have no choice but to fight the Tang people with their bare buttocks." The official who organized the production sighed helplessly.
They have no choice but to pray that the Tang Army's bombings will not come often. All production must continue, despite the Tang army's bombing...
