Bright sword: starting from the logistics department

Chapter 24 What I Give You Is Yours
Zhao Gan continued: "I have a total of 5200 rounds of bullets here, of which 2000 are improved bullets, half of which will be given to each of you, and the unimproved 3200 rounds will be divided into 1870 for Ding and 1291 for Li Tuan. What do you think?"

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong nodded and agreed to such a distribution plan.

Zhao Gan continued: "I have only repaired 96 rifles here, and Commander Ding will give you all 43, and Commander Li will give you 53 rifles, and you are still short of 60 rifles.

How about I give you 4 more light machine guns against 60 rifles? "

When Li Yunlong heard that there was still such a good thing, he agreed at that time.

In this way, the two regiment leaders happily began to unload supplies and load weapons.After working for a while, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong said goodbye when the last rifle was loaded on the carriage.But after walking a few steps, Li Yunlong ran back and whispered to Zhao Gan: "Brother Zhao, when you were here with the molecular bomb just now, you have dozens of rounds left to give to my brother. My brother's independent regiment is really short of weapons and ammunition."

When Zhao Gan heard Li Yunlong's words, his face changed and he said, "Regimental Commander Li, you have to remember that what I give you is yours. It's all for you. Is the company under my command holding fire sticks to protect the arsenal?"

Seeing that Zhao Qian was angry, Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Don't be angry, brother Zhao, don't be angry. This is my brother's fault. I, a big bastard, didn't expect this. When you come to my place, I will buy you a drink to apologize. Don't be angry." Li Yunlong smiled and flattered.

Zhao Gan wasn't really angry, but just wanted Li Yunlong to stop playing tricks on him, so he waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's go."

Li Yunlong was still grinning: "Then brother is leaving first, remember to go to my brother's place and I will buy you a drink to make amends."

After seeing Li Yunlong and Ding Wei leave, Zhao Gan asked Yu Shan to call the four directors to his room for a meeting.Sitting on the stool, Zhao Qian looked at Wang Wei who was sitting across from him and asked, "Director Wang, Yu Shan told me that you encountered some trouble in repairing firearms. Tell me what trouble it is."

Hearing that Zhao Qian asked him first, Wang Wei sorted out the questions he wanted to talk about, and then said: "Director, there are two problems in the maintenance of firearms that cannot be solved. First, the spring inside the gun is not pure enough. The steel wire always breaks when the spring is rolled.

There is also the barrel. The rifling inside the barrel of many guns has been smoothed, and it cannot be re-drawn with our current technology. "

Zhao Qian frowned after hearing Wang Wei's words, and thought for a while and said, "I remember that in ancient times, there was a method of adding carbon to molten iron to increase its strength. After the meeting, you can go to the smelting workshop to find a smelting master to test whether it is feasible. As for the rifling issue, I am thinking about it."

Wang Wei's eyes lit up when he heard Zhao Gan's words, and said: "Hey, why didn't I think of such a simple method. After the meeting with the good factory manager, I will go to the smelting master to test it."

Zhao Gan said: "Director Wang, don't blame yourself, you are just a fan of the authorities." Then he looked at Li Qing and said: "Is there any problem with the production of bullets, Director Li?"

Li Qing said: "With the completion of 20 simple lathes and fixed-route slides, the production of bullets has not only improved in quality, but also has a much larger output than before. It's just that the gasoline we produce is too fast, and we don't have enough storage. It is estimated that production will stop in a month."

Zhao Gan felt dizzy again when he heard Li Qing's words, took out his notebook and wrote: The barrel of the gun was rifled and gasoline was insufficient.Then he said, "Well, I'll think of a way to see if I can get a batch of gasoline. What's the problem with you two, Liu Qi and Li Huaiyi?"

Liu Qi said: "At present, high explosives have been mass-produced, and the raw materials are easy to find, and have been supplied to various production workshops. I have no problem here."

Li Huaiyi said: "Director, just yesterday I made a grenade with newly refined molten steel, and successfully carved 24 prefabricated fragment marks on it. Our current cast iron grenade can only carve 12 marks. I want to change the shell of the grenade to steel as soon as possible."

After listening to the two of them, Zhao Qian said: "Liu Qi, what I want is not just for use in other workshops. Our arsenal will produce other weapons in the future. What I want is to have a surplus when it is used for production in other workshops. Don't worry about the expiration of the surplus gunpowder. If there is no place for the excess gunpowder to be used temporarily, it will be made into explosive kits or landmines. You have to find a way to increase the production of gunpowder. You have also seen that today the new group and the independent group come to our arsenal to exchange materials for weapons and ammunition. This kind of thing will become more and more common in the future. The demand for gunpowder in our arsenal will be higher and higher, so the production of gunpowder in your workshop must increase.

Li Huaiyi, as I said in the last meeting, the second smelting furnace is under construction, and the casing of the grenade will be replaced with steel after the second smelting furnace is built. "

Liu Qi: "Okay, factory manager, I'll find a way to increase the production of gunpowder when I get back."

Li Huaiyi: "Yes, factory manager, I know that too. But using steel to make the casing of the grenade will be more powerful than the current grenade."

Zhao Gan: "Li Huaiyi, you have to remember one thing. Our arsenal must first ensure that the soldiers have weapons in their hands, and the second is to make the weapons better. Do you understand?"

Li Huaiyi opened his mouth, but still said the words "Got it".
