Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 29 Arsenal

No wonder the chief is so excited.

Zhang Wanhe is an expert in this field... He had taken care of the "Taiyuan Ordnance Factory" under Yan Xishan at the beginning. A place that can make cannons and shells, of course, has a few brushes.If Zhang Wanhe said it could work, then this thing would be inseparable.

Zhang Wanhe thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Chief, although I can't guarantee it, but after hearing what Comrade Wang Xuexin said, the difficulty of making this cannon has dropped in stages."

"Because there is no requirement for volume, and it is a small diameter, it is really an iron pipe."

"It's just that this shell may be difficult, and there may be some details..."

After hearing this, Wang Xuexin understood why the imitation grenades only cost 20 yuan, but the cannonballs cost [-] yuan. It turns out that the cannonballs are more difficult.

The chief clapped the table and said to Zhang Wanhe, "It's enough to have your words, and to overcome all difficulties, we must develop this kind of cannon, and we must come up with it!"

"Yes!" Zhang Wanhe responded with a loud voice.

After a pause, Zhang Wanhe glanced at Wang Xuexin again and said, "Sir, I have a request!"

"If you have any request, just say it!" The chief waved his hand and said, "As long as you can get this cannon out, I am willing to let me wash your feet!"

Zhang Wanhe hurriedly replied: "Sir, how dare I make such a request. My request is very simple. I heard from Lao Li just now that Comrade Wang Xuexin has worked in Guizi Arsenal for several years, and he just put forward this very constructive one. Thoughts, I want to... lend him a few days!"

"What?" Li Yunlong, who was still smiling just now, jumped up like he was being pricked by a needle: "Zhang Wanhe, aren't you robbery? I, Li Yunlong, are not an old landlord, and I rarely have one or two soldiers like this. , you want to go in a few words, no way..."

"Li Yunlong!" The chief glared angrily, his fingers dangling in the void: "What time is it, you only care about your own one-third of an acre! This is building a cannon for the entire army! If you can't build this cannon, you are independent. Where can the group get better?"

Li Yunlong immediately softened, but his mouth was still dissatisfied: "Headmaster, you want one today and one tomorrow, what do you want me to do as head of the regiment?"

"You!" The chief was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Old Li!" Zhang Wanhe and Li Yunlong are fellow villagers. Knowing Li Yunlong's temper, he slowed down and said, "Didn't I agree to borrow it? If there is a loan, it will be returned, and it will be returned to you in three or five days. The big deal, when the cannon is built, first equip the independent regiment, what do you think?"

As soon as he heard the equipment, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up immediately: "This is what you said, Lao Zhang. Let's spit a nail, and no one is allowed to deny it!"

"Can you rely on others, can you rely on you Li Yunlong?" Zhang Wanhe was a little helpless, this Li Yunlong has always been the master of winning and not losing.

Li Yunlong stared at Zhang Wanhe for a while, and his dark face was instantly filled with smiles: "That's right! Borrow, of course! What kind of friendship did we have? We are both fellow countrymen and old comrades in arms. I If this is not borrowed, it will be too boring!"

Turning his head, he patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder, and whispered, "Be smart, kid, and come back with more things, understand?"

What else can Wang Xuexin say, he can only answer: "Yes!"

------

"Our arsenal is divided into four branches." Zhang Wanhe introduced to Wang Xuexin as he walked: "There is one branch for machinery manufacturing and assembly, in fact, it is simply repairing the rifle or making some self-needed equipment or something. Yes. The sand casting part is the second factory, where most things are formed. The third factory is responsible for the manufacture of reloaded grenades, and the fourth factory is responsible for the production of gunpowder."

Zhang Wanhe took Wang Xuexin into the third branch factory, where bullets and grenades were produced. The costumes of the workers were all kinds of strange and the equipment was simple enough. They were basically made by hand, including hammers, pliers, files, and some unrecognizable thin implements. Weird things, it is estimated that a branch of the factory made their own equipment.

Seemingly seeing the strangeness in Wang Xuexin's eyes, Zhang Wanhe said: "It's not bad now, back then, our arsenal had only 21 workers, 2 vises, 4 files and 1 bellows. Everything is collected and made by ourselves, bit by bit.”

Then Zhang Wanhe couldn't help but complained about Li Yunlong: "Making equipment is as simple as your regiment commander said, that little devil has already been kicked out by us."

Wang Xuexin could only answer "yes", but he thought to himself, you guys are fighting with gods and mortals are suffering!
At this time, Zhang Wanhe shouted at a group of workers: "Director Su!"

A capable girl with short hair raised her head. Seeing that it was Zhang Wanhe, she told the worker next to her and got up to meet him.

It was only then that Wang Xuexin discovered that she was wearing a school uniform, a new school uniform derived from "new clothes of civilization": a blue top and a black skirt, plus a pair of white socks and black flat shoes.

Zhang Wanhe introduced: "Director Su Xinsu, don't look at her in her twenties, she is a college student from Chongqing, studying machinery manufacturing, what a talented person! It's even rarer to voluntarily give up her studies to the front line for the anti-Japanese cause. It's like...what private university?"

Speaking of Zhang Wanhe, he turned his attention to Su Xin, who was already approaching.

"Hello!" Su Xin stepped forward and introduced herself with a veteran who was extremely disproportionate to her age: "Su Xin, a third-year student at the private Fudan University."

"Fudan University?" Wang Xuexin asked suspiciously, "Isn't that in Shanghai?"

"Yes!" Su Xin glanced at Wang Xuexin with some surprise, and replied, "It was originally in Shanghai, but moved to Chongqing after the fall of Shanghai, and now it is in Beibei. Are comrades also college students?"

It's no wonder that Su Xin would ask this question. If there are not college students in this era, there are not many literate people, let alone knowing which school is where.

"Ah? I...I'm..." Wang Xuexin was considering whether to tell the three schools he was admitted to.

Zhang Wanhe relieved Wang Xuexin: "Xiao Su, don't be too hard on others. His name is Wang Xuexin, nicknamed Xiaodongbei!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Xin stared at Wang Xuexin with wide eyes: "So you are the little Northeast who saved the arsenal! It's a pleasure to meet, thank you so much!"

Wang Xuexin looked at Zhang Wanhe suspiciously.

Zhang Wanhe smiled and explained, "You are the one who saved the arsenal from the devil. No one in this factory doesn't know you 'Little Northeast'!"

This is really not wrong, because Wang Xuexin found that many workers were already looking at him with admiration at this time.

"Little Su!" Zhang Wanhe continued: "Call the directors of the various branches and come to my office together to discuss something!"

"Okay, let's go now!" Su Xin responded, and nodded to Wang Xuexin, who was polite before leaving.
