Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

"I heard that right, you can also build tanks here?"

The brigade commander looked at Wu Qianli in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After the corruption of the late Qing government, many aspiring young people emerged. They actively participated in the movement and learned the craftsmanship of Western countries.

But building tanks is a military secret, and it is difficult for even those aspiring young people to get in touch with them.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army never produced a single tank of its own during the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War.

Of course, this is not just a technical issue, but more about equipment and materials.

"Wu Qianli, you should know how helpful it will be to us if we can build tanks, this is no joke!"

The chief of staff said with a serious face: "Well, isn't Zhang Wanhe and the guy named Li Gan from our arsenal here? Just ask them to come over and have a look!"

"Yes!" Wu Qianli replied, and then winked at Wang Hai.

Wang Hai left knowingly, and when he came back again, Zhang Wanhe and Li Gan had already appeared in front of everyone.

"Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff, are you looking for me?"

"Yeah!" The deputy commander nodded: "Take a look, you two, can the Eighth Route Army build tanks like this?"

The two were startled, and looked at the deputy commander in shock.

"Deputy Commander, this? Are we going to build tanks?"

The deputy commander nodded: "Wu Qianli said that we can build tanks like this!"

"We are all laymen in the field of ordnance manufacturing, so we invite you two experts to come and have a look."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and see if it can be made, give me an accurate word!"

"Yes!" The two responded, and then began to observe around the tank.

And at this moment, the voice of the system sounded in Wu Qianli's mind.

"Ding, it is detected that two gift packages are about to be formed, please host to make a choice!"

"Choose one, expand the arsenal, and get a second-class strategic gift package!"

"Choose two, keep the status quo, and get a third-class battle package!"

As for the expansion of the arsenal, it was a matter of time, so Wu Qianli chose the second-class strategic gift pack without hesitation.

Ten minutes later, the deputy commander-in-chief shouted anxiously: "Have you two finished watching, and whether you can make it, please tell me!"

"It can be made!"

"cannot!"

Zhang Wanhe and Li Gan answered in unison.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Why are the answers given by these two people completely different?
"Is it possible to make it?" The deputy commander asked anxiously: "You two gave me two answers, and I was confused."

Zhang Wanhe said with a wry smile: "Deputy Commander, at present, we can't build such a tank."

"We can study the general structure, but the biggest problem is that we don't have so many materials."

"And we have no experience in making tanks. I am worried that if we take the risk of making it, the final result may not be worth the loss."

As soon as Zhang Wanhe finished speaking, Li Yunlong and others nodded their heads one after another.

"Deputy Commander, Li Yunlong doesn't know anything about tanks, but I also know that this is definitely not an easy task."

"Instead of wasting materials on these unrealistic things, it is better to build more guns and ammunition to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."

Kong Jie immediately followed suit and said, "Leader Li is right this time."

"Our Eighth Route Army is poor now. I also suggest not to mess around with things like building tanks."

Ding Wei frowned: "Lao Li, Lao Kong, you are wrong when you say this, we can't stop trying because we are afraid of failure."

"Materials are always available as long as you think of a way?"

"Besides, it's because we don't have experience, so we have to try, right? I don't believe it, the little devil can build planes and tanks right out of the womb?"

"You have to take it step by step, you have to try, you have to learn, don't you?"

"What you said makes sense." The deputy commander-in-chief responded, and then looked at Li Qian: "You say it can be made, what is the basis?"

Li Gan said with some embarrassment: "Deputy Commander, when I was in Taicheng, the Jinsui Army could also build tanks."

"Although it's not a good tank, I still have a little experience in terms of experience. If I'm given time, I have the confidence to understand the structure of this tank and build it according to the gourd's drawing."

"But as Minister Zhang said, the biggest problem we face is the material aspect."

As soon as Li Gan finished speaking, Zhang Wanhe couldn't help it: "Old Li, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Aside from other things, there are so many parts on it, and the craftsmanship is so complicated, how can we manufacture them here?"

Li Gan frowned and said: "There is nothing to worry about the parts. It's not that we don't have equipment here. We just do it slowly and polish it slowly."

"If the machine can't grind it out, we still have hands. If we try a few more times, we can always produce qualified parts, right?"

Hearing Li Gan's words, Wu Qianli nodded inwardly.

In his opinion, Zhang Wanhe is an experienced master who may be used to step-by-step procedures, so he will be a little more conservative in the face of things he has never been exposed to.

But Li Gan was younger and more aggressive than him.

Moreover, Li Gan has been under house arrest by the devils in Taicheng for too many years, and he hates the devils very much, so as long as it is a weapon that can beat the devils, he will desperately create it.

"Now that your two master craftsmen have given their opinions, what do you say?"

After the deputy commander-in-chief had a general understanding of the situation, he threw the question to Wu Qianli.

Wu Qianli smiled faintly: "Li Qian has experience in manufacturing tanks, our biggest problem is actually in materials and equipment."

"As long as we solve these two problems, we can build our own tank."

"But these two problems are also the most difficult to solve!" The brigade commander immediately added.

"I have a solution to the equipment problem!" Wu Qianli said with a smile: "I met some wealthy businessmen when I was in the prisoner-of-war camp. They can provide us with these equipment as long as they give money!"

"However, if we want to manufacture tanks, our arsenal area is not enough, and we have to expand it. We can't stop weapon manufacturing just to make tanks!"

The deputy commander nodded: "Weapon manufacturing cannot be stopped just like tanks."

"In this way, you find a way to expand the arsenal, and we will provide manpower and other things we need as much as possible."

"In addition, there is also the military academy mentioned earlier, I think it is also built here with you!"

"vice"

Hearing that the deputy commander had made a decision, the chief of staff wanted to say something more, but was stopped.

"I know what you want to say, you don't believe that Wu Qianli and the others can build tanks, but I do!"

"From the very beginning, he has created too many miracles, so I am willing to mobilize all available support to help him."

"If the tank is really built, wouldn't it be better for us to fight devils in the future?"

"So, Wu Qianli, you just have to let go and do it. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you!"

"Yes!" Wu Qianli replied, and thought to himself: I finally agreed, with so much foreshadowing, the deputy commander-in-chief is always willing to help me expand the arsenal without leaving any room!
