Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

 Railways, as arteries for transporting supplies, played an indispensable role during wartime.

 With the advent of the railway age, speed became the theme, and the ability to travel thousands of miles in a day changed everything. Both roads and shipping will be eclipsed, and all strategic goals will revolve around railways.

 After killing the Japanese First Army and the Mongolian Army, the Eighth Route Army has completely taken control of the entire Tongpu Line and half of the Pingsui Line.

 It is precisely because of the above-mentioned foundation that the headquarters can transport various large-scale production equipment needed by the weapons industry from various parts of Shanxi Province to Guisui in the shortest possible time.

  ·······

 After dinner, Nie and Huang, escorted by the guard platoon, drove to the arsenal located in the western suburbs of Guihua City.

As soon as he entered the factory, the factory director led a group of soldiers from the security department to greet him.

Director Cheng is a powerful man with a great background. He graduated from the Electrical Manufacturing Department of Waseda University in Japan and was once the top person in charge of the No. 1 Arsenal of the headquarters.

 At the beginning of last year, the Border District recalled him and transferred him to the position of director of education at the Electrical Vocational School.

When the weapons industry was still in the preparatory stage, Huang He considered that the subordinate small arms arsenal needed an experienced leader, so he simply applied to his superiors to transfer Director Cheng to Suiyuan.

“Mr. Nie and Director Huang, welcome both of you to inspect our work.”

“At present, our factory has set up several production lines and officially started construction this morning. It won’t be long before the first batch of infantry light weapons can be packed and shipped out.”

 “By the way, do you want it?”

Before Director Cheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by an explosion and excited discussion.

However, he did not panic because of the unexpected situation. Instead, he said to the two leaders in front of him with excitement:

“Mr. Nie, Director Huang, the first batch of 40 pieces of fire has been produced. Let’s go and take a look.”

As soon as these words came out, Huang He pulled the army reorganization expert and walked into the factory without saying a word. When everyone arrived at the experimental plant, they saw all the comrades gathered around a target position.

“Hiss, it is indeed the most powerful individual anti-tank weapon at this stage. It is so powerful.”

"No, the key point is that we still use black powder. If we use the standard powder from the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, the power can be increased by at least 30%."

“To be honest, it’s really a waste to use this thing to fight Japanese enemies. I heard from the director that the 40-fire has been sold to the old guys in the north, and the tanks they face are all big guys.”

Among the many weapons in the Lend-Lease Act, the 40mm rocket launcher is definitely the one with the most special meaning to comrades.

 The reason is very simple, simply because it is the Eighth Route Army’s first independently designed and produced advanced weapon, and no foreigners participate in any step.

 Its technology and concepts are far ahead in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has established a sect.

What’s more, since the founding of the Republic of China, all major forces have been scrambling to introduce foreign weapons. Elite troops are even proud of German helmets.

Nowadays, a self-made individual anti-tank equipment is about to appear on the international stage. How can everyone not be excited?

While the comrades were talking about it, several sharp-eyed workers saw the Yellow River. His reputation in the military industry system is not low, and he was quickly recognized. "Director Huang! How do you think everyone's craftsmanship goes? Let's talk about it!"

 With someone taking the lead, the workers' voices became more and more uniform. Amid a burst of "booing", the Army's reorganization expert gently tapped Huang He with his elbow, signaling him to quickly boost morale while the heat was on.

Facing the warm welcome, Mr. Huang did not show any pretense and jumped directly onto the table in front of the target.

Facing the passionate eyes, he waved his arms vigorously with a smile and said:

“Comrades! The weapons industry is the first step for our Eighth Route Army to go abroad! It is also the first step for us to be known to the world! This is the result of everyone’s concerted efforts.”

“Here, on behalf of the headquarters, I would like to thank every military worker who has left their hometown.”

“King Gou Jian of Yue fought hard and finally destroyed the State of Wu. For so many years, we have endured our arrogance while waiting. Now the time has finally come to let the whole world see the greatness of our nation!”

With Huang He's speech, everyone present became more and more excited. Everyone's face turned red and they waved their fists.

 Even an expert on army reorganization cannot remain calm at the scene before his eyes. At this moment, Mr. Nie felt that the invisible burden on his shoulders was heavier.

 Fortunately, he is not fighting alone, but has thousands of comrades as his backing.

  ·······

 The mobilization meeting ended, and Nie and Huang moved to the factory director's office. After a short rest, Director Cheng took out a document from the drawer and said:

“This is the list of the first batch of supplies that left Taiyuan ten days ago to assist the north.”

“Calculating the time, if there are no accidents along the way, the army equipment and single-engine fighter jets should have arrived at the battlefield successfully. If there is any emergency, I will report it to my superiors as soon as possible. Please rest assured.”

Hearing this, Huang He took the file and started to look at it.

Just after glancing at the catalog, he felt a little distressed by the generosity of the border area. Nothing else, just because there are three hundred Hurricanes and fifty Spitfires on the list.

 It seems that the big guys have a very broad plan.

"okay, I get it."

“The second batch of supplies should mainly focus on hurricanes and 40-mm howitzers. As long as the other party doesn’t specifically emphasize it, try to reduce the number of 105-mm howitzers. We don’t even have enough of them ourselves.”

“By the way, all weapons and equipment must be sent out in the name of Norinco.”

As soon as these words came out, the Awakening Yonghu system in Huang He's mind became active, as if to remind him to check for new developments in time.

 “Ding! The host has a new manufacturer to load.”

 Type: Army equipment
