Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

 An hour later, Taiyuan Governor's Mansion.

“Davari, I’m glad that everyone can still drink and chat as before.”

"But I'm very sorry, I have to be a spoiler today. Conscience and the sense of military responsibility have been torturing my spirit, and they will not allow me to continue to sink."

"My motherland is being ravaged by the enemy, and my compatriots are being devastated by the war. You should be able to understand how I feel now, right?"

 Lao Cui's words instantly caused the entire restaurant to fall into silence.

 Everyone sitting here is a prominent figure in the Eighth Route Army. Naturally, you are all aware of the current situation on the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe. To put it bluntly, the north is like a candle in the wind, and no one knows what will happen next.

As if to take care of the mood of the allies and to avoid the atmosphere at the scene falling into a deadlock, the deputy general staff officer spoke in time:

"Comrade Cui, our Eighth Route Army is very aware of the current situation in the north. The purpose of inviting you to Taiyuan this time is to discuss the specific contents of the lease plan face to face."

“Since we are not in the mood to socialize at the moment, let’s go straight to the shooting range now.”

“All the active weapons of our army are at your disposal, and you can ensure that you can submit a perfect report and usage experience to your superiors afterwards.”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Cui suddenly became energetic and his whole complexion became a little better.

 The current Eighth Route Army is no longer the Wu Xia Amen of the past. They already have the potential to become the top of the world in some fields.

If the other side sincerely sells kidneys to aid the Soviet Union, the war situation in the motherland will inevitably take a new turn, and there may even be an opportunity to concentrate troops on some battlefields to achieve counterattack.

 “Okay! Let’s set off quickly.”

“I will definitely cherish this opportunity and seriously experience every standard weapon of your army!”

Hearing this, the deputy general staff officer nodded. He first ordered the guards to prepare the car, and then called the correspondent to contact Huang He.

 The next trip will involve a variety of weapons, so a professional will be needed to introduce them. This candidate is none other than the director of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau.

When Lao Cui came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he immediately saw the Yellow River that he had been waiting for for a long time.

“Huang, I never thought that we could meet in Taiyuan. When we were in the mountain city, Makarov often mentioned your story!”

"To be honest, everyone underestimates your ability. For any force, an excellent scientist is more powerful than three infantry divisions. Losing you is the biggest crisis since the establishment of the Second Special Design Bureau. loss."

Um?

Lao Cui's opening remarks made everyone present full of questions. Even Huang He, the person involved, did not expect that the old man in front of him actually knew him.

 But when I think about it in the blink of an eye, this matter is actually traceable.

 This senior army general and Makarov both participated in the Soviet-Finnish Winter War two years ago. In addition, the latter once served as the top person in charge of the transportation team, so there will inevitably be communication between the two of them in their work and life.

What's more, every researcher working in the Second Special Design Bureau will leave files and photos when joining the company.

 With Lao Cui's identity and status, it is not easy to get someone's personal information.

 After a moment, Huang He held the other party’s hand and said:

“Haha, Mr. Cui deserves the award. I am just a weak researcher, how can I compare with three infantry divisions.”

"By the way, do you have any recent news about Makarov? I have lost contact with him since the last time we met. After all, communication during the war is really not guaranteed." Faced with the problem of the Yellow River, this army soldier with a particularly long name The general could only respond with a wry smile.

"I don't know. If he had followed the original arrangement, he would have held his retirement ceremony in Smolensk."

"But you also know the current situation. Because the enemy's offensive is too fierce, my motherland has been forced to launch a nationwide mobilization."

"A battle-hardened veteran like Makarov will definitely be recalled by the original army. As for whether he will become a recruit trainer or a reserve officer, it depends on the specific arrangements in the war zone."

Although Huang He was mentally prepared, it was still hard to accept the bad news. At this moment, the cruelty of war is vividly demonstrated.

　　Seemingly sensing that there was a problem in the atmosphere, the deputy general staff officer came to the rescue in time. He first took the two of them by their arms and got into the car, then changed the subject and said:

“Okay, lucky people have their own destiny, and your friends will definitely be safe and sound.”

“Let’s go quickly. Preparations have been made at the shooting range. Let’s go back quickly. Time is life now.”

"good!"

  ·······

 Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the weapons testing site in the southwest of Taiyuan.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lao Cui was mesmerized by the various infantry equipment. He trotted to the shooting position and eagerly picked up a pistol.

“This one should be the French Mas35. I didn’t expect that your Eighth Route Army would still have this kind of out-of-print product. In terms of appearance and feel, it is not inferior to the TT-33 at all.”

“A good start! Coming to Taiyuan must be the wisest choice of my life! We are in short supply of pistols!”

 Mas35 is a new equipment unlocked by Huanghe through the system. It draws on the advantages of Browning in its design concept and is a mature semi-automatic self-defense weapon.

As we all know, Maozi has an incomprehensible obsession with pistols and revolvers, which is why the headquarters uses them to lead the attack.

Hearing what Lao Cui said, the deputy general staff officer and Huang He couldn't help but frown.

Logically speaking, as a powerful country with strong industrial strength, the north itself cannot have a shortage of basic equipment. After all, they determine the lower limit of an army to a certain extent.

While their allies were testing their guns, the two of them came to a nearby pavilion.

“Huang He, it seems that we still underestimated the cruelty of the battlefield on the Eastern Front in Europe. We never expected that their shortage of guns would be so serious.”

“Although it’s not a good idea to say this, our chance has really come! Are you confident in the equipment for the finale?”

 In fact, the shortage of guns and equipment in the north was mainly concentrated in the early stages of the war.

 Due to the rapid advancement of Germany's three military regions, the three major military regions lost a large amount of basic equipment in 1941. In a sense, now is indeed the best time to provide help in times of need.

Hearing the deputy general staff's question, Huang He nodded confidently.

“Don’t worry, the things I prepared this time are all targeted. With Lao Cui’s eyes, he will definitely be able to realize the value of these treasures.” (End of this chapter)
