Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1712 Water gun from Britain!
Dragon Boat Festival asked Zhongtong to investigate Juntong not because he hoped that there would be any conflicts between the two parties.It was because he suspected that there were spies lurking in both the Central and Military Commands.

This is very dangerous, but internal investigations are often just a process.For example, Director Xu didn't even investigate Wei He's death. In the end, they could only say that Wei He hid the poison in a location they didn't know about.

So this kind of internal investigation is often unreliable.Investigations must be carried out with the help of outside forces.

Although this may lead to deepening conflicts between the central government and the military.

But at least for now, the current form is favorable.

Japanese espionage activities are rampant, and there are signs of Japanese espionage activities in both the Central Government and the Military Government, so it is difficult to eliminate the root causes without using strong medicine.

Therefore, Duan Wu discussed this matter with Director Xu for a long time, until Director Sun and Director Wang ran back as tired as their grandchildren.

Duanwu left after Wei Qin got the documents, but at this time Director Wang and Director Sun were about to leave, but Director Xu stopped them.

Although they were both directors, Director Sun and Director Wang were so frightened that they trembled in front of Director Xu.

Director Xu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you two, I didn't say anything to you!"

Director Wang and Director Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, because as long as their uncle didn't care about them, their lives would be saved.

But at this time, Director Xu said again: "But at this time when the party and the country are in crisis, you two are attacking military industrial enterprises, which is a bit too much. But for the sake of my colleagues, I will not embarrass you. Every time you I personally donate 1 yuan to the Economic Development Office and forget about it. What do you think?"

"what?"

Director Wang and Director Sun looked embarrassed at the same time.Because that’s an ocean of 1 yuan.

As I said before, you can buy a luxury house in the capital with [-] yuan.Ten thousand oceans is enough for these two people to spend the rest of their lives doing nothing.

So the two instinctively wanted to say no.

But at this time, Director Xu sneered and said, "I think you two are a little reluctant?"

Hearing Director Xu's threatening laughter, Director Sun and Director Wang quickly woke up. Money was important, but how could it be as important as their lives?As long as you live, won't you make your money back in seconds?

So the two people quickly said: "We are willing, we are very willing."

Director Xu smiled and made an invitation gesture, while Director Wang and Director Sun left quickly. They didn't want to stay in Zhongtong's prison for a moment longer.

"Pity!"

Director Xu sighed, because if Duanwu said a word, he would keep these two people in Zhongtong forever.

But Duanwu didn't say it, so he couldn't do it.Because Sun and Wang both have backgrounds, otherwise, how could such a fat job fall on their heads?

Therefore, if there was no Dragon Boat Festival, Director Xu did not want to seek such bad luck, so he taught the two people a lesson and let them go.

And what about Dragon Boat Festival?Naturally, it was not that he had forgotten about Sun and Wang, but that he did not want to focus all his energy on people like Sun and Wang.

Because what would happen even if he killed Sun and Wang?The one he replaces will definitely not be any better than King Sun.

So it doesn’t matter whether you change it or not, so why do you offend people during the Dragon Boat Festival?
What's more, there are more important things to do during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is to develop China's military industry.As the saying goes, no matter how good other people's weapons and equipment are, they are not as good as what you have.

Just like the little devils, although their weapons and equipment lag behind the West, they have their own independent military industry system, and in this way, the supply of weapons and ammunition will be very convenient.And their soldiers don't have to use Hanyang-made guns today, submachine guns tomorrow, and Chinese formal guns the day after tomorrow.

But the most important thing is that when you have your own military industry, you don't need to buy high-priced weapons and equipment from foreigners.

So on the way back, Duanwu asked Feng Baobao to leave a day later. He drew a blueprint of a low-cost submachine gun and gave it to Feng Baobao to take back for study.If it can be mass-produced, it can solve the problem of insufficient automatic weapons and equipment in the Chinese army.

Feng Baobao was naturally happy and said not to wait a day, even a few more days would be fine.What they lack most now is blueprints for various advanced weapons.Because when it comes to weapons, foreigners block China.

So at this time, Dragon Boat Festival can come up with the drawings, which is definitely great news for the 51st Arsenal.

What's more, the application to purchase raw materials this time went very smoothly, four or five days earlier than he expected. He had enough time to wait in the mountain city.

But Dragon Boat Festival didn't have much time, because he still wanted to catch Japanese spies.

So after sending Feng Baobao to the hotel and Wei Qin home, Duanwu returned to his apartment.

But it can be said that what Duanwu didn't expect was that Wei Qin was still living in the apartment of the girls' middle school at this time.

Wei Qin said that after returning to China, she stayed with a friend, and her friend was a teacher at a girls' middle school.

Duanwu proposed that the Economic Development Office rent an apartment for Wei Qin, but Wei Qin declined.

Wei Qin said she had money and just wanted to live with her friends.

So Duanwu didn't insist. He just said that if Wei Qin had enough, he would tell him that the Economic Development Office would handle the matter.After all, Wei Qin's working ability was recognized by Duan Wu.

After that, Duanwu returned to the apartment, and as soon as he entered the apartment, he locked himself in the bedroom, and refused all phone calls and visitors. Even Tang Jiujiu came to the apartment and was persuaded to go back by the guards.

Duanwu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the design of submachine guns.

This is a design drawing similar to the Sten submachine gun.

The reason why Duanwu chose the Sten submachine gun as its model was mainly because of its simple structure and low production cost.A Sten submachine gun can be produced for approximately US$11. In other words, at that time, a Thompson submachine gun cost US$200, and for the money purchased for a Thompson submachine gun, a dozen Sten submachine guns could be produced.

Even in 1941, when the price of a Thompson submachine gun dropped to more than $70 a piece, seven Sten submachine guns could be produced.

So it is precisely because of this that although the accuracy of this submachine gun is very poor, various malfunctions occur frequently.

But Duanwu will also choose the Sten submachine gun as a blueprint.

Because its structure is too simple, the entire gun body is composed of a steel pipe, a spring, and a steel bar.

The entire gun basically uses stamped parts, which is very easy to assemble.

Moreover, the Sten submachine gun is very accurate at close range and has great lethality. It uses a 32-round straight magazine, which is enough to cause a lot of damage to the Japanese army at close range.

Therefore, Duanwu almost without hesitation chose the Sten submachine gun to draw the drawings of the new submachine gun!
