Heavy Industry Empire

"Let me think about it," Liu Tianling pondered. "Incorporating Fengjun has gained a huge territory in the Northeast. In the long run, it can get higher taxation and food supply, but it is a huge burden for now. On the surface, we have defeated After the Kwantung Army, it seems that they can fight across the Yalu River and drive the devils away. In fact, it is the end of the battle. The troops need to rest and reorganize. "

Jia Cai stroked a few beards on his chin and said, "That's why we have to deal with the commander in chief's funeral. The higher the rank, the better."

"Okay, I understand. From now on, you summon Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting and a group of old Kwantung Army units, and immediately prepare to overdo it. The momentum will be bigger, and the flag will be flown at half-staff, but the funds will be as small as possible. When the time comes, the commander-in-chief and I People from the Ministry will be present," Liu Tianling said.

The main purpose of handling the future generations for the general is to win over the military spirit of the Feng faction warlords. It is very appropriate for Jia Cai to handle this matter as the chief of staff of the National Defense Army. Liu Tianling, Zhu Yupu and Ye Feng and others have many things to do with the guards The most important thing is to inspect Fengtian Arsenal.

In April 1922, the commander-in-chief's Fengjun was defeated by the Zhili warlords and withdrew from the customs. He accepted the suggestion of the young commander, reorganized the army and vigorously rectified the Fengjun.

The Fengtian Ordnance Factory was changed to the Arsenal of the Three Northeast Provinces. Outside the Dadongbian Gate of Shenyang City, three factories for construction guns, shells, and cannons were re-established. The Danish businessman Winther Company undertook the construction and sent technicians Credence Ermi to the factory Guide the installation, and build a platform and lay rails on the west side of the warehouse, so that the train can go directly to the factory.

Tao Zhiping served as the supervisor, and its funds came from the Northeast Frontier Defense Commander's Office, allocated according to the annual budget, and supplemented when it was insufficient.

In 1923, Han Linchun was appointed as the general office, and Weng Zhilin was appointed as the post of the general office. The second bullet factory was built. All the machines were purchased from Japan, and Japanese technicians were hired to serve as design guides. A steelmaking plant and a machine factory were also built. Boiler room, water tower, steam and water channels and other equipment, Han Linchun graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy, it is said that the dust cover of the Type 13 rifle was designed by him, so the gun is called "Han's Seventy-Nine Rifle", or "Made by Han Linchun "By.

In 1925, Yang Yuting was promoted to the supervisor, and sent German technicians to Germany to purchase a large number of machines, which arrived in winter and began to be installed. Guns, cannons, steel and machine factories were also built one after another. Additional machines were purchased, and the scale doubled. , and the establishment of military engineering primary school and military engineering school.

From 1926 to 1928, it was completely a period of expansion. The gun factory and the light machine gun factory were added to assemble artillery and armored vehicles. There were more than 8 machines. It was the largest arsenal in the country at that time.

Up to now, Fengtian Arsenal is divided into five branches. The gun factory mainly produces imitation rifles, pistols, and light machine guns. , but there is almost no creativity except that the cottage is a cottage, and the ammunition factory specializes in the production of rifle bullets, machine gun bullets, mortar shells, field artillery shells, and ordinary grenades. Later, in order to compete with the National Defense Army, a battlefield factory was added. Unfortunately, the imported technology Backward, the speed of assembly is very slow, and it can't produce [-] vehicles in a month. As for the aircraft factory, it has not been put into production at all.

Liu Tianling couldn't help but shook his head: "200 machine guns sounds huge, but more than [-] rifles are produced a day. The production line is too primitive. Safety is a manual workshop equipped with machines."

Zhu Yupu said: "Although the production of guns has slowed down, the number of bullets is hundreds of thousands of rounds a day. They also cannot find suitable jobs, which will inevitably lead to social unrest," he said.

"What do you think is the right way to deal with it," Liu Tianling asked.

Zhu Yupu smiled and said: "This factory was established by the commander-in-chief. Yang Yuting has always been the director of the factory, but such an important position in the arsenal is probably not suitable for him to manage. Although Yang Yuting will not have any other plans, but this time People are arrogant and easily unconvinced, so I suggest replacing all the high-level people.”
