mixed in the war

() "Unconscionable gun?"

"Yes."

"Just a gasoline can is enough?"

"Why don't you think so?"

"Mr. Qin, do you think our military command is easy to play?"

……

Zheng Jiemin and Xu Yuanju almost arrived at Yichang at the fastest speed. Fortunately, it was summer, although it was a little late, the sky was not completely dark yet.And before they arrived, the Shapingba military commanders had already enclosed Chong Yu's office on three floors inside and outside three floors, and refused anyone's provenance. This made Director Shen very dissatisfied, but considering the seriousness of the matter, He still endured it.It's just that this is not what annoyed him the most. What annoyed the director of the Academic Affairs Office the most was that after Zheng Jiemin and Xu Yuanju arrived, they only asked about the situation of the spies who had arrived before, and asked people to send him to him without even saying a word. He rushed to the side... This kind of naked contempt made Director Shen almost explode on the spot.These days, these educators are in a detached position. When a university student like Hu Shi crosses his legs and speaks casually when meeting Chiang Kai-shek, Lao Jiang can't say anything. You know, Lao Jiang is famous for his manners.Although he can't compare with Hu Shi's great reputation, he is usually a third-rank official, but now he is so unceremoniously bombarded outside, and he is still in his own office... But Zhong Yu's dissatisfaction did not come to an end. It affects Zheng Jiemin and Xu Yuanju, or the two of them simply don't pay attention to the director of the important academic affairs office. If it is normal, they may still say a few words politely because of the face of the other party's social sages, but at this moment, they With only the word "cannon" in mind, why do you care about a literati with little power?

But in the same way, neither Zheng Jiemin nor Xu Yuanju expected that Chong Yu's angry mood would soon be transferred to them...

Barrels of gasoline!

It's the kind of thin-skinned iron bucket!

It can be converted into a powerful cannon, which can directly shock people to death, flatten a large number of fortifications, and effectively kill and wound the enemy... What the hell is writing a novel?

"Do you think I'm idle and free to walk you?"

Qin Wei looked at the faces of Zheng Jiemin and Xu Yuanju, who had obviously turned green after listening to his explanation, and couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart... The famous heartless cannon, these two guys don't believe it?

"Mr. Qin, although we have known each other for a short time, you should know who we are... If you say something else, maybe I can still believe a thing or two, but now you tell me that gasoline barrels can be converted into cannons... that's what Do you believe it yourself?" Xu Yuanju was laughing, his whole face trembling along with it... After answering the phone call, he immediately dispatched someone to protect the guy in front of him, and he also brought Zheng Jiemin, the number two figure in the military command, with him Hurrying over here, I thought I would be able to make some contributions, but now, Qin Wei actually only gave him a "gas tank"!He firmly believed that if it wasn't for Zheng Jiemin being on the side, if it wasn't for the Qing stationmaster here, would it be so easy to play?

"Station Master Xu, why do you say gasoline barrels can't be converted into cannons? Although the range is a little closer, but with our country's current army composition and equipment level, this kind of simple artillery that can be equipped in large quantities is definitely bigger than a regiment's." The caliber long-range artillery is much more valuable. This kind of artillery is not only simple to manufacture, easy to carry, and low in cost, but it is almost not afraid of damage. It can be said that its performance-price ratio is quite high...it can even be used nationwide. You Do you know what that means?"

Qin Wei knew that he couldn't show his timidity at this time, and if he did, he might be dragged to Zhazidong or Bai Mansion by the two military commanders in front of him, but then again, what did he have to show his timidity?This is a heartless cannon, a big killer that has been verified by history.During the Battle of Huaihai, it was this kind of cannon refitted from gasoline barrels that killed the American-style soldiers without temper. Even the three words "heartless" were presented by Japanese soldiers. Does he need to show cowardice?

"Nationwide use? Hmph, Mr. Qin, do you want the whole world to laugh at us Chinese as paupers?" Xu Yuanju was about to gnash his teeth.How dare this guy be stubborn?

"Pauper? Hehe, do you mean, Mr. Xu, that we in China are not poor?" Qin Wei asked back.

"you……"

"Mr. Qin, do you have anything to prove that this unconscionable cannon is powerful?" Zheng Jiemin asked suddenly.

"Look at what you said..." Hearing Zheng Jiemin's words, Qin Wei couldn't help but smile wryly, "Secretary-General Zheng, do you want me to find a gasoline barrel, and then take a dynamite bag, and show you the experiment here?"

"That means there is no proof!" Xu Yuanju said coldly.

"You..." Qin Wei almost opened his mouth to swear, although he didn't finally swear, but he finally looked at Xu Yuanju with a lot of anger in his eyes: "Master Xu, are you deliberately finding trouble? I I have nothing to do when I’m full, so I’m going to take you two big men of the military command for a walk? I’m tired of work, or my skin is itchy, and I want you to scratch it with a soldering iron or something? No proof? The method has already been told to you , of course it is for you to prove... Could it still cost you a hundred oceans?"

"If it can really be converted into a powerful cannon like you said, let alone 100 yuan, even 1000 yuan is cheap. But Mr. Qin, use a gasoline tank... don't you think it's too much fun? That's it A thin layer of iron, can it be stronger than those ancient bronze cannons like the mighty generals? You are not afraid of exploding? What's more, the gasoline barrel... If it doesn't work, it will be a laughingstock!" Zheng Jiemin solemnly road.

"Laughing stock?" Qin Wei was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, you are afraid of being taken advantage of by others, and it will be difficult to mess around in the officialdom!"

"Mr. Qin was joking. If it's just that we're not good at mixing, then it's nothing. But after all, we are also generals. If this kind of thing gets out, the entire National Revolutionary Army will lose face." Zheng Jiemin said lightly. Said.

"That is to say, the lives of thousands of soldiers are not worth the face of you officials?" Qin Wei sneered.

"Mr. Qin, you're done talking." Xu Yuanju said solemnly.

"Okay, you're yin and yin, who are you scaring?" Qin Wei rolled his eyes at him and leaned against the back of the chair, "Isn't it because you are afraid of being ashamed and affecting your future official career? I'll just give you the proof... ...But you have to prepare all the things I need before."

"Mr. Qin is transparent." Zheng Jiemin smiled, which is what he actually meant.The conversion of gasoline barrels into cannons sounds like a fantasy.Just like what he asked just now, the ancient general's cannon weighed several thousand kilograms, and the barrel of the cannon was as thick as a city wall, and the barrel that should be blown up would still be blown up, and I haven't heard how powerful it is.Now change to a thin gasoline barrel... Isn't that a joke about the lives of the soldiers?But then again, what if it succeeds?Qin Wei was so determined, it seemed that he was full of confidence.And judging by his appearance, he is not the kind of dead man, besides, how precious is a dead man?No matter which country's government or organization, it is impossible to waste such precious manpower on almost meaningless things like embarrassing their national government.So, what kind of heartless gun is really possible to succeed?If it is true, then it is really like what Qin Wei said just now, not only can it greatly enhance the firepower of guns, but it can also be applied nationwide... This is a great achievement!

"Unfortunately, no matter how I think about it, I think this thing is a joke." Zheng Jiemin shook his head secretly.Who doesn't want the great achievements of splashing the sky?Especially this kind of credit is not taboo... the development of a simple artillery will not touch anyone's interests.Once successful, everyone must carry the sedan chair.But the problem is that he really lacks confidence... In his eyes, the gasoline barrel with a thin layer of iron is too fragile, and it doesn't look like it can be converted into a cannon.Therefore, based on the two considerations that it is most likely to be a joke, and if it is possible to succeed, he entrusted the task of this experiment to Qin Wei... If it succeeded, he has merit, and it is still a great merit, although Qin Wei will divide a part of it According to his understanding of Chiang Kai-shek, most of the credit will fall on him. After all, Qin Wei is an outsider, and he can be regarded as an unknown source. ocean.And even if it failed, it was Qin Wei's own business and had nothing to do with him.

"Then it's settled... Anyway, you have experts, and you all know what to prepare for me, but I have a question to ask you two," Qin Wei really didn't expect Zheng Jiemin to think so much. The two guys in front of him were very dissatisfied, so he decided to trick them: "Do you think that my 'unconscionable cannon' can't succeed?"

"I didn't say that, I just thought it was a bit weird." Zheng Jiemin laughed.

"Isn't it just not optimistic?" Qin Wei paused, and glanced at the two of them again: "But then again, it's too boring for me to conduct experiments just because you provide items... Do you dare to take a gamble?"

"I never gamble." Zheng Jiemin smiled and shook his head.

"Our army prohibits gambling!" Xu Yuanju also said.

"Hehe, what you banned was gambling on the poker table. We are making a bet... Both of you are big men, so you can't be frightened by my little character? Besides, even if you lose this bet, that's terrible." It's also a good story... Once this heartless cannon is successful, it will be a great contribution to the War of Resistance." Qin Wei said.

"No gambling!" Zheng Jiemin was still unmoved.

"You really don't want to gamble?"

"Don't gamble!"

"What about you, Station Master Xu? You wouldn't be so unpredictable?" Seeing that Zheng Jiemin couldn't take the bait, Qin Wei had no choice but to turn his target to Xu Yuanju.

"What did you expect? Don't talk nonsense... Isn't it just a bet? Just bet!" Xu Yuanju didn't want to bet at first. He didn't think he would lose, but he didn't plan to play with Qin Wei at all. But just when he was about to refuse, he found Zheng Jiemin secretly winking at him... Now it's impossible not to gamble.

"That's what you said, so let's make a bet." Qin Wei didn't see Zheng Jiemin's tricks, but when Xu Yuanju took the bait, he grinned, "If I lose, I'll let Stationmaster Xu deal with it, what about you? "

"What do you think I should say?" Xu Yuanju asked back.

"It's obviously impossible to let you do whatever I want, so how about doing me a favor?"

"What help?"

"I want to be a civil servant!"

"Civil servant?"

"It's the Zheng Fu staff."

"That's it... OK, no problem." Considering it some kind of extraordinary request, it seems that this kid can't stand the asylum.Xu Yuanju thought to himself.

"You can agree, but let me remind you, I don't want to be ordered around."

"Want to be an official?"

"Hey, that's right."

"It's not a big problem. What kind of official do you want to be?" Xu Yuanju picked up the tea that had been brewed by his subordinates early in the morning.Isn't it the official?With his status and influence, in the whole chongqing, getting a few small officials at will is simply a matter of phone calls.

"I want to be the county magistrate!"

"puff--"
