Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Mingyue just pointed at him, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, so she just pointed at him.

Silly thought she was having a seizure and ignored her. He built a small factory next to the arsenal and started designing machine tools in it.

Machine tools can't be made of wood, so we applied to the higher authorities for steel.

The superiors were also very straightforward. After all, Shadan was well-known, and maybe he could really make the arsenal here better and bigger.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, in the small arsenal, Shadan finally completed the transformation of the machine tool and successfully tested it.

This time, the machine tool completed was used to produce Mauser rifles.

Looking at the brand new Mauser rifles that were sparkling with oil and emitting a strong smell of engine oil, Shadan could not hide his excitement. He specially selected a few and rushed to the shooting range impatiently, wanting Mingyue to personally experience the actual performance of these new equipment.

When Mingyue got the gun, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why is this so similar to German military equipment?"

Shadan replied proudly: "They are not just similar, they are originally German weapons, but after our efforts, we can now realize independent modification!"

Mingyue was thoughtful after hearing this and asked, "Hmm? Then do you know what this means?"

Faced with Mingyue's question, Shadan looked confused and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?" He obviously did not realize the significance of it.

Mingyue took the remaining rifles and ran away.

It made the fool confused.

That night, Comrade Shadan, the factory director, wanted to say something to the workers but was called away by his superiors.

Mingyue was also there, and the leader asked without hesitation: "Silly boy, is this true or false?"

The fool looked confused and asked back, "What are you talking about? What's true or false?"

I saw a leader holding a brand new Mauser rifle made during the day, raising it up directly, pointing the spear at the other party, and asking if the gun was made by a fool.

After receiving a positive answer, the leader immediately looked annoyed and reprimanded: "If that's the case, why didn't you report such an important matter to your superiors? What if the news leaked out?"

Before he finished speaking, the leader made prompt arrangements and sent an entire battalion of the Eighth Route Army to guard the arsenal.

Facing this decision, Shadan was suspicious and couldn't help but question: "Leader, is this too much of a fuss? After all, we have only made a rifle. My subsequent plan is to imitate machine guns, mortars and other weapons, as well as matching bullets and shells. I am just starting to get involved in the field of rifles. Is this necessary?"

At this moment, all the leaders and chiefs in the room almost fell to the ground, and then they started to criticize him verbally.

In short, all kinds of saliva were flying towards me.

After being scolded, Shadan washed his face for no apparent reason.

According to the leaders, the mass production of every imitation weapon, whether it is guns or ammunition, is a top priority.

Silly Dan thought Mingyue saw the unexpected appearance of the Heroic Spirit Army and complained.

It turned out that it wasn't. Shadan gave Mingyue a grateful look.

This look made Mingyue feel confused.

In the arsenal, if someone really achieved this, he would be rewarded with a great merit.

If an assembly line is formed, he will be rewarded with the title of logistics support hero.

You say, how could these leaders not be surprised and shocked?

Especially in just four days, it's a crazy pace.

If the leader knew that these equipments were made in just one day, he would probably be even more surprised.

Now, these leaders realized that bringing Shadan to the logistics department was the right decision.

Now, of course, I have to have a good chat with Shadan and encourage him to keep up the good work and create greater success.

As the days passed, Shadan's figure became more and more familiar in the arsenal.

He not only proved his ability with his actions, but also ignited the passion of the workers with his wisdom.

Especially when he often chatted with the workers, his way of looking at problems from the perspective of his previous life suddenly ignited everyone's wisdom, and then these workers came up with all kinds of ideas.

It feels like our brains are collectively jailbreaking.

He shared the joys and sorrows with them and solved one technical problem after another.

Under his leadership, the arsenal's output also increased significantly, becoming an important force in supporting the front line.

In the days that followed, before the first month arrived, the German machine gun was successfully copied and could even be put into mass production.

The monthly output reached 5,000 light machine guns and 1,000 heavy machine guns.

The next month, they copied the German 70mm mortar and shells.

Monthly production reached one thousand mortars and twenty thousand shells.

In the third month, the production lines of German pistols, grenades and bullets were copied.

The production of bullets has reached one million rounds per month.

But there is a prerequisite, the materials must be sufficient.

As the production of guns increased, Shadan slowly discovered the shortage of materials.

So we started to study the issue of firearms and ammunition materials.

This work lasted for more than half a year, and it was already early summer of 1946.

The war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party finally broke out, and a civil war that shocked the whole world began.

In the nearby green hills, Shadan finally found saltpeter and sulfur, important materials for gunpowder.

The next thing was simple. We started to dig into the mountains to get materials, make weapons, and support the front line.

In short, during this period of time, a small arsenal was turned into a large arsenal with a capacity of 100,000 people because of Shadan's imitation and search for substitutes.

And basically all production lines are assembly lines.

We have drinking water again, vegetables are growing, and last year's grain harvest was also a good one.

This small valley here seems like a paradise.

However, Shadan was always thinking about that unfinished mission in his heart - the position of deputy director of the institute, which was still far away.

Whenever it was late at night, he would look at the starry sky and think about how the power of science could better serve the war. Until one day, the leader found him.

"Comrade Shadan, we have all seen your performance." Chief Li patted him on the shoulder, "But now, we need you here. Let's put the matter of the institute aside for now. You know, the road to revolution is to be taken step by step, and we can't rush for success."

The fool nodded in understanding.

He knew that his top priority was not only scientific research, but also the responsibility at hand. He decided to devote all his energy to improving the arsenal and wait for the right time to pursue the pinnacle of science.

In fact, he doesn't care much about the affairs of the research institute, but it plays an extremely important role in his future life.

But the time has not come yet, so just don’t enter. He is not in a hurry anyway.

With his outstanding achievements in this factory, I think he will be included in the list when the time comes to be granted a title of nobility or appointment as prime minister.

Then why is he in such a hurry?

During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, because of the sudden involvement of the United States, the Communist Party shouted the slogan of liberating the country for the first time, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army stepped onto the historical stage for the first time.

At this time, the People's Liberation Army was equipped with imitation German weapons produced by Shadan, and was fighting hard to recover lost territory on the battlefield, and was fighting back and forth with the Kuomintang.

There is still some distance to the real decisive battle.

Both sides are accumulating strength.

At this moment, Shadan, who was far behind the arsenal, was suddenly called by the leader.

Hand him an envelope and let him read it himself.

When Shadan opened it, several photos and some letters fell out. He took the letters and saw that he was attacked because a KMT traitor had infiltrated the party, which also led to the heroic death of Comrade Lin Yu, who had just joined the party.

And those photos showed the traitors who betrayed him being shot.

Seeing this, the silly boy, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, finally burst into tears.

"After research by the Party Central Committee, Comrade Lin Yu was awarded the title of martyr and given a certificate."

I have been busy during this period of time just to avoid thinking about Lin Yu’s death. Now it’s all worth it.

Just before he came to the arsenal, he reported this matter to his superiors.

But because Lin Yu's identity is rather special, she used to be a senior general of the Kuomintang and now has just defected to the Communist Party. Even if Shadan believes her, others may not believe her.

Now that he saw that her grievances had been avenged, it was a recognition and acknowledgement of him and Lin Yu by the organization and the Party Central Committee. At this moment, all the efforts he had made were finally rewarded.

"Chief, can I visit Lin Yu's hometown? It would be a way to comfort their parents and tell them that their daughter is a great man." Shadan asked expectantly.

When they were in the Independent Regiment and the Independent Brigade, Lin Yu gave Shadan a lot of help. Although part of it was due to his golden finger, a bigger part was due to Lin Yu's combat staff ability.

She gave very good advice and combat methods many times, and avoided many enemy traps. The establishment of military academies also depended on her help.

Unfortunately, they were separated forever in the end, so he wanted to go and see her, and also to tell her parents.

After all, she was a rising senior general of the Kuomintang, and she died suddenly. There was no news about her in the newspapers or on the radio, as if she had been forgotten.

"What!? Don't you know that you are now famous? Not only are our top brass familiar with you, but even the enemy is familiar with your name. Do you still want to return to the freedom you had before? You should know that you have been assassinated in the past. With your current status, I am afraid that the enemy will directly bombard you with artillery shells and smash you to pieces!"

Hearing this, Shadan was shocked, but deep in his heart there surged an indescribable joy: "I didn't expect that I am so important!" However, he quickly regained his composure and realized the seriousness of the situation.

"So, you'd better stay in the arsenal and stop having any unrealistic ideas." The leader warned earnestly.

"Ok."
