Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan played the card of the Russian majority party, on the one hand, to win more support from the big powers. In addition, from the heart, Zhang Tinglan even limited the necessity of Russia's development. The security of China's northern Xinjiang is in one fell swoop, so Maximum energy must be invested.

As the saying goes, you have to be hard on your own when you strike iron. What you need to pay attention to most now is the production capacity of the arsenal. A war with Russia is bound to far exceed the intensity of a domestic war. After the leadership of the majority party, the Russian army is still quite effective. Relying on the strength of the three eastern provinces, Fengjun's advantage is not obvious, and it is even more important to keep up in terms of arms supply.

Therefore, after the Air Force officially announced its establishment, Zhang Tinglan couldn't wait to come to Fengtian Arsenal. Tao Jiping, who was in charge of the factory, warmly received Zhang Tinglan.

"Zhuoyan, I usually can't find you when I want to find you, but now you have finally appeared, you can help our Fengtian Arsenal to solve the difficulties!"

"Director Tao, I thought you would report good news but not bad news. Why do you want to help as soon as we meet?"

Tao Jiping also smiled and said: "He Zhuoyan doesn't need to talk about these nonsense. Originally, the Fengtian Arsenal was the leader in the three eastern provinces. As a result, the Jilin Arsenal came from behind. In addition, the Harbin Arsenal is also being established. I heard that it has gathered many elite soldiers. Strong general, Mr. Kuang Jingyang personally helped, and brought a large number of talents from Guannei, now after calculation, Fengtian Arsenal is the weakest, if it continues to develop like this, it will be completely at the bottom, I am very anxious."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded. That’s true. I haven’t paid enough attention to Fengtian Armory these years. Apart from helping Fengtian Armory reach a cooperation agreement with the United States at the beginning and getting some parts for production, more than [-]% of the good machines we get in the future are placed in Jilin. , and now the focus is on Harbin, it is inevitable that this original big brother will be neglected.

He said slightly apologetically: "Director Tao. Originally, the focus of development was on Jilin and Harbin to avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese. After all, under their noses, we produced a large number of arms and developed weapons. They know our secrets, and once a war breaks out, the arsenal will be in extreme danger, so the focus of investment has to be chosen."

As the person in charge of the arsenal, Tao Jiping was also very aware of Fengjun's precautions against the Japanese.Take the current Fengtian Arsenal as an example, there are also some Japanese shares, and Japanese technicians are also working in the factory, but both sides are wary of each other, the Japanese are afraid of the Chinese learning technology.Fengtian also worried that the Japanese would spy on the secrets of military production.

After cooperating with the Americans, Tao Jiping took advantage of the relationship.A group of technicians from the Allied countries were hired.There are Americans, British, and French, plus a group of Russian technicians, the Fengtian Arsenal has basically become an eight-nation coalition.

"Zhuoyan, of course I understand what you and the commander-in-chief are thinking. However, Fengtian is the center of the three eastern provinces after all. It has a good industrial foundation and it is a pity not to focus on development."

"What Director Tao said is not bad at all. Fengtian Armory will definitely have a big development in the future, and our strength is enough!" Zhang Tinglan showed a meaningful smile when she said this.

What does it mean to be strong enough? To put it simply, Fengjun’s air force has begun to form. Originally, the South-Manchuria Railway was like a knife, reaching Fengjun’s heart. Be sharp.

But now that Fengjun has air power, it still has some advantages compared to Japan. The long Manchurian railway is not a problem. Fengjun can use air power to quickly cut off the railway at any time. .

With this trump card in hand, Zhang Tinglan is ready to let go of the development of Fengtian Armory. There is another important point, that is, Zhan Tianyou has surveyed the route of the Jifeng Railway not long ago, and now Fengtian is in the process of intense preparation.

If the railway is completed, the Feng army will be able to bypass the control of the Japanese and connect major cities such as Harbin, Changchun, Jilin, and Fengtian into a line. The situation in the entire three eastern provinces will be greatly changed. It just got a whole lot easier.

The weapons produced by Fengtian can be directly transported to Jihei to deal with the threat of Russia. Similarly, Fengtian is also at the forefront of fighting against Japan and has a huge production capacity, which is very necessary.

As soon as Tao Jiping heard Zhang Tinglan said that he would vigorously develop Fengtian Arsenal, his eyes widened immediately: "Zhuoyan, is what you said true?"

"Of course, how can such a thing be joked about? Director Tao, according to my plan, the arsenals in Jilin and Harbin should have their own emphasis, and the positioning of Fengtian arsenal is the largest basic comprehensive arsenal. This positioning, do you think I can not invest?"

In fact, according to Zhang Tinglan's idea, Jilin and Harbin should engage in some high-tech and difficult things. For example, the Jilin Arsenal needs to produce large-caliber heavy artillery, while Harbin should develop into a tank factory and produce armored vehicles.

Fengtian, on the other hand, is just like Zhang Tinglan's three consecutive positionings: large-scale, high-production capacity, and mainly producing conventional equipment.That is, rifles, pistols, machine guns, rifles, guns, small and medium-caliber artillery, mortars, machine guns, explosives, and so on.

"Director Tao, how much can Fengtian Armory produce at present?"

"I'm ashamed to say that Fengtian Armory can only produce 50 rounds a month, [-] rifles, [-] tons of black powder, and [-] hand grenades. The rest are production parts."

"This quantity is indeed not much. Director Tao, a tenfold increase in production is not too much. The threat from Russia is becoming more and more urgent. Fengjun's production capacity must keep up. I am going to readjust the respective tasks of the arsenal. Fengtian arsenal Mainly responsible for the production of rifles, muskets, mortars, 76mm mountain guns, grenades, gunpowder, etc. Within a year, three sub-production lines will be added, the monthly output will be increased to 300 million rounds, and the monthly output of rifles will be Three thousand shots, forty 82mm mortars, five 76mm mountain cannons, fifty thousand grenades, one hundred tons of black powder, pyrotechnic powder, and trial production of light and heavy machine guns !” [

Every time Zhang Tinglan said something, Tao Jiping beside him couldn't help but gasp. Zhang Tinglan directly increased the production by five times and ten times, which is simply too appalling. It would be best if he could do it, but Tao Jiping always felt a little Not reliable.

Maybe it was because the happiness came too suddenly, and he was still not used to it, so he tentatively asked: "Zhuoyan, are you joking?"

"Of course not. For some time to come, Fengjun will focus on the north and fully deal with the Russian threat. This weapon may not be enough. It is best to greatly increase production capacity. The more the better, we Fengjun The army has to be consumed and sold to the Russians, so much of it is not enough.”

Zhang Tinglan will definitely "intervene" in the Russian Civil War, but directly send troops, or support puppets, Zhang Tinglan has not yet made up his mind, but one thing is certain, that is, Zhang Tinglan will inevitably sell a large number of weapons to the White Army. Killing the Russians is the best choice.

Moreover, Fengjun's weapons and equipment are basically the same as those of Russia, and the White Army will definitely favor them very much. They took advantage of the Russian civil war to expand Fengjun's arms industry and have the capital to be self-reliant.

Tao Jiping was completely attracted by Zhang Tinglan's blueprint, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit: "Zhuoyan, to expand production capacity, it's not just a matter of talking, it needs enough machines and a lot of workers, do you have any ideas?" Specific method?"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "Listen to me telling you slowly, now is the best opportunity!"

Tao Jiping also listened attentively to see what Zhang Tinglan had to say.It turned out that during World War I, the Tsarist Russian "government" with backward industrial capabilities and insufficient production capacity ordered a total of 330 million m1891 Mosin Nagan rifles and a large amount of "medicine" from two American companies, Remington and New England Westinghouse. At the peak of production, Remington produced 5000 rifles per day, while Westinghouse produced a record 160000 per month.

Although the two companies together produced millions of rifles, only 350000 were actually delivered to Russia. After the February Revolution in Russia in 1917, the Russian provisional "government" announced the suspension of the contract, which made Remington and Westinghouse The company suddenly fell into an economic crisis.

In order to save these two companies, the U.S. "government" bought all the rifles at a price of 30 dollars, and also asked for an additional 80 to be produced. Later, these guns were lost to the people and sold to other countries. Of course More were sent to Russia and handed over to the White Army to intervene in the Russian Civil War.

In addition, this batch of weapons once fell into the hands of Feng Jun. When the U.S. military left Vladivostok, they handed over the rifles in the warehouse to the Japanese troops who were still stranded here at that time, and asked them to return to Japan when the Russian troops arrived. It was destroyed before, but the Japanese sold the guns to Zhang Zuolin cheaply.

Not many people know this historical secret. Ever since Zhang Tinglan was engaged in arms smuggling on the Middle East Road, he has already known the situation of the United States providing arms and weapons to Russia. Naturally, he also knows the situation of these two factories.

There is no doubt that two factories in the United States are in trouble now, and the US "government" does not know how to deal with this burden.Moreover, the Americans took the initiative to approach Fengtian, hoping to use Fengtian's power to fight against the Russian majority.

Since the Americans are sincere, Zhang Tinglan will help the United States solve this problem and get the Americans to agree to transfer the production line to Fengtian, so that China's military production capacity will definitely expand rapidly like taking a big pill.

Of course, it is impossible for Fengjun to have such a strong organizational ability as the Americans, but it is absolutely amazing to be able to produce [-] rods a year.

When Tao Jiping heard Zhang Tinglan's introduction, he was completely jealous, and he held everything tightly. After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he slammed the table: "Zhuoyan, you must find a way, these machines must be obtained. Come to God, no matter how difficult it is!" (To be continued...)
