Fengxian Jiangshan

"Fu Chen, you all try it too, this bullet feels very different!" Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen also fired several bullets in succession, but Sun Liechen fired the third bullet, and there was a stink, which was a bit disappointing. After they finished shooting, they got together again.

"Ting Lan, these bullets are less powerful than the previous bullets, and the burden on the body is not so heavy. We didn't make them ourselves, did we?"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "It is the first batch of finished products we produced. The production line for the bullets shipped back has been installed at the ammunition factory outside the city. Chen Qiming is in charge there. The production line is already in operation, and we have a steady stream of energy. The production of bullets!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan is also a little proud. Although he took a lot of risks for this production line, since the production of the bullets, Zhang Tinglan feels that everything is worth it.Arms are the lifeblood of a warlord, but the vast majority of warlords in China cannot produce weapons for themselves.

As a result, they have to import from foreign countries, which is tantamount to handing over the lifeblood to others. Zhang Tinglan will never allow this situation, so he has been trying to find a way to achieve self-sufficiency in weapons.

Now it has finally taken a gratifying step, Fengtian can produce bullets by itself, and the next step is rifles and cannons.Then there are tanks and planes. When these can be self-produced, will the dignified army still be afraid of those little Japan?

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Although the water rifle is good, it was designed for the Russians. They are all tall and strong, and they can bear it. Compared with the Russians, our physical fitness is much worse. If we use Russian bullets, It is a great burden on the body, so the time to charge the medicine is reduced by [-]%."

"The charge has been reduced. Will it reduce the shooting range?" Sun Liechen was a little puzzled. It is good to have less recoil, but if you sacrifice the performance of the gun, it will not be worth the candle.

"It will indeed be reduced. But there is not much difference within the effective range, and our soldiers can only guarantee the accuracy within a few tens of meters. It is no more than a hundred meters. It is too far away to be accurate. Of course, there are special needs. It can also be equipped with original bullets."

After Zhang Tinglan summed up his experience last time, the Independent Brigade began to form a sniper unit, and now it has some prospects, but Zhang Tinglan is very dissatisfied. The main reason is that the sharpshooters selected from Fengjun are not so good.The best quasi-heads are around 100 meters, and only a few can reach 30 meters, which is already rare.

But Zhang Tinglan knew that compared with the Japanese soldiers in the same period.Feng Jun's so-called sharpshooters are similar to ordinary Japanese soldiers.The Japanese are very strict in training, and they can guarantee a certain degree of accuracy when they are above 200 meters. As for the snipers, they are even more powerful.

If the two armies shoot at each other, the Feng army will definitely not take any advantage, on the contrary, it will become the opponent's prey.No matter how much you despise Japan strategically, but you have to pay attention to the Japanese at the tactical level. There are indeed some unexpected things about this island country, especially the spirit of digging into a dead end is extremely powerful.

"Good soldiers are fed by bullets. Our soldiers' shooting skills are low. It's not that they don't work hard. The biggest reason is that they lack sufficient training. We can produce bullets ourselves, so we don't have to worry about consumption. We can improve our training level." Come up and try to make every soldier a sharpshooter." Zhang Tinglan said excitedly.

Zhang Zuolin kept nodding his head, even though the Fengjun was guarding the Middle East Road and had sufficient ammunition, but Lao Zhang knew that the European War would not go on forever, and there would be an end sooner or later, so what was the Fengjun pointing at then?

If you rely on foreigners to buy, on the one hand, the price will be too high, and on the other hand, it will be accompanied by various privileges, which is unacceptable to Lao Zhang.Zhang Zuolin is a person with a strong learning ability. During this period of time, Zhang Tinglan's constant tossing and tossing stirred up both Japan and Russia, and the United States and Britain also sent representatives to Fengtian.

Gradually, Lao Zhang also saw the face of foreigners very clearly. These foreign devils are all profitless, and they are all greedy. If you cooperate with them, you have to keep a hand, and be careful that they are bought by them. It cannot be handed over to them.

Therefore, Lao Zhang was very satisfied with being able to produce bullets, and immediately decided to take Zhang Tinglan, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang to the ammunition factory outside the city to see the production of bullets for himself.

The ammunition chief was separated from Fengtian Armory, and the main body stayed in Fengtian to be responsible for the production of parts such as gun stocks and magazine clips, while Chen Qiming specially led more than [-] workers to choose a hidden manor outside the east city as an ammunition factory. workshop.

Chen Qiming did not expect Zhang Tinglan to prepare a bullet production line here, and he was also taken aback. However, Chen Qiming was very smart, so he didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Tinglan had already said that no matter it was stolen or robbed, he would get the production equipment. This production line Most of them came in this way, so they were arranged outside the city.

For this kind of behavior, Chen Qiming not only does not have any rejection, but also appreciates it very much. If all the politicians in China can do whatever they can to make the country strong, I am afraid that China will become strong long ago. For them, hard work is everything.

Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Tinglan and others came to this secret production workshop, and the workers were all working hard.

"Marshal, there are a lot of explosives here, it's very dangerous."

"It's not that I haven't been to a battlefield with real swords and guns, and I still care about it. Tell me about the production of bullets?"

"Marshal, we can currently produce [-] bullets per day. If the raw materials are sufficient and the workers are more skilled, the quantity will be even greater. There are only two problems. One is that our cost is more than [-]% higher than that of foreigners, and The defective rate is relatively high." Speaking of this, Chen Qiming's face also turned red.

Sun Liechen's eyes immediately widened when he heard that, he just met a stinky child, and thought he was unlucky, but it turned out that the defective rate was too high.

"Marshal, if our cost is so much higher than that of foreigners, why should we produce it ourselves? We can just buy it, and the quality of bullets made by foreigners is better than ours. Isn't this a loss-making business?"

"General Sun, as long as we are given enough time, we will be able to keep the cost down."

Sun Liechen still shook his head: "Yuting, there are millions of rounds of ammunition a year, which is tens of thousands of yuan. Why don't we buy it from foreigners, worry about it, and get some defective products? It's not worth it!"

Self-made bullets were originally intended to reduce costs, but now the cost is more expensive than buying them, which made Sun Liechen unacceptable for a while. After spending so much effort to get the production line, it turned out that the production line was not working, and Sun Liechen felt a little depressed.

In fact, there are reasons for the high cost. First of all, the workers are not familiar with it. Now these workers are all transferred from the Machinery Bureau. There is a huge difference.

Moreover, the standard of the original German-made machines is different from that of the American ones. The cultural quality of the workers is relatively low. It takes enough time to adapt to this change. This is also the reason for the high defective rate, and it is almost unsolvable. , can only allow workers to operate more, practice makes perfect.

Another fatal problem is the insufficient supply of raw materials. Copper must be used to produce bullets. China is a country with very scarce copper resources. It has been used as currency in the market since ancient times. Therefore, copper is used to make bullets. Deductions burn money.

Lead, which is more expensive than copper, has a high density. It can be used as a warhead to ensure the accuracy of shooting. China's industry is almost poor, and copper and lead have to be purchased from the market. After World War I, the price of these materials is very high. Naturally, the cost of bullets has been pushed up.

The third point is that the power supply is unstable, which also seriously affects the production efficiency. There are problems in all aspects. Although Chen Qiming is ambitious, the reality is still too far behind. Chen Qiming suspended his heart.

He wanted to argue about something, but Zhang Tinglan grabbed him and nodded at him, telling him not to worry.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin pondered for a while and said: "Zan Yao. You can't just calculate economic accounts. Whether it is good or bad, it is our own. No matter how we use it, others can't make irresponsible remarks. If you buy from the big powers, they will not What should we do if we sell it? When the war is raging, what should we do if we buy from them and they put forward unreasonable conditions? We can’t just look at the cost of making ammunition by ourselves. dignity!"

Zhang Zuolin was very clear-headed at the critical moment. As soon as he said this, Chen Qiming was very moved. In this land of China, he met a leader with vision and insight.It is very rare to be able to support without reservation.

"Yuting. I understand what you're saying. It's just that the output of bullets is too low to affect the overall situation. If we follow the newly established training standards, these bullets are not enough for training."

"Sixth uncle, a child must always be given room to grow, and a newborn child cannot be allowed to compete with adults. This is very unfair. Let's find a way to solve the current difficulties, and the production can be increased. After the workers are familiar with the operation, we can get a few more production lines. We don’t care about three or two million bullets a year, but we can’t care about more than 200 million bullets!”

Although Sun Liechen is an old-fashioned person, his brain can still keep up. Hearing what Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan said, he also nodded: "If I can solve the difficulties and increase the production, then I have nothing to say."

"Brother Chen, I don't have many solutions for the workers' problems. I can only let everyone do more work and practice more. In addition, the first batch of technicians from Russia has already arrived in Tieling. Many of them work in the arsenal. I will select a few good ones Come here, let the workers study hard, and we will not hesitate to reward them."

The situation in Russia is indeed getting worse, especially in winter, due to the shortage of food and fuel, a large number of Russians died of freezing and starvation, factories generally shut down, more and more people are struggling on the line of life and death, uprisings and workers Movements come and go.

Zhang Tinglan sees everything very clearly. Any historical event is not accidental. There must be a brewing process behind it. It's just that most of them are not sensitive to the changes that have accumulated over time.

Russia has come to this point, and there is no way to recover. Zhang Tinglan is getting more and more courageous. At first, he just wanted to get some arms and funds. Now he has set his mind on Russian workers. With the first batch, there will be Second batch.After getting the workers, the next step is to evacuate the factory and get the machinery and equipment to Fengtian.

"As for the problem of raw materials, I think there are ways to solve the copper shortage. We can buy copper coins to solve the problem, and issue small-denomination coupons instead of copper coins."

"This method is feasible, but there are impurities in the copper coins, and we don't have good metallurgical equipment. Even if they are made, I am worried that the quality will be affected."

Chen Qiming was a little worried, but Zhang Zuolin on the side laughed: "Solve the problem first, and then say whether it's good or not. When you're hungry, everything tastes good. If you're not hungry, just put the banquet in front of you, and you have to pick and choose. Let's Now you're a hungry ghost!"

When he said this, it was tantamount to a decision. Zhang Tinglan continued: "Lead is indeed a problem. I think it is possible to use lead as the core."

Chen Qiming's eyes widened immediately: "Zhuoyan, if you don't use lead, what else can you use?"

"Steel!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Use steel as the bullet core, and wrap a layer of copper on the outside."

"That will affect the accuracy of the bullet, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"There will be some impact, but within one or two hundred meters, the impact is limited, and the big powers are doing this now. Of course, this kind of bullet is only used by ordinary soldiers, and sharpshooters still need to use lead-core bullets."

Chen Qiming thought for a while, and thought it made sense: "Zhuoyan, call the old bear over here, he is better at this than me, and then call in a few Russian technicians, let's study it together, and try to make it as soon as possible, if the effect is good , and that's what we did."

Zhang Tinglan nodded in agreement, and then said: "I purchased a batch of small generators from the United States, and they have also shipped them over. I will have someone deliver them tomorrow. The power problem will also be improved a lot."

Chen Qiming solved several problems that he was worried about one after another. He also showed joy on his face, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Commander, Zhuoyan, with your support, the production of bullets will definitely double in a short period of time."

Lao Zhang was also very happy, and patted Chen Qiming on the shoulder: "The conditions are a bit difficult now, so I will sort out Fengtian from top to bottom immediately, and arrange a better factory area for you soon, work hard!"

Although the bullets have some flaws and the output is difficult to meet the needs, this is a good start after all. As long as we persist, we will have a better future.

After leaving the factory, Lao Zhang pointed around casually, and said: "Zan Yao, Fu Chen, and Ting Lan, look, on the land of Fengtian, we produce our own munitions, but we have to go to the corner of the mountain. It is carried out secretly, such a big Fengtian, there are Japanese everywhere, and they want their eyeliner everywhere, this is our shame!"

"Seventh Lord, you are so right. The biggest enemy of Fengtian is the Japanese. We run factories, train the army, and engage in economic construction. We have to be wary of these little guys at all times."
