Respectfully

The day after President Lou Da arrived in the six northern provinces, he appeared in the northern arsenal.

The machines in the workshop are roaring, rifles, machine guns, bullets, and artillery are continuously manufactured from the assembly line, and after passing the inspection by the inspectors, they are packed and transported into the warehouse.

Due to the large-scale adoption of German machinery and equipment, gun factories and artillery factories have gradually eliminated the production and management models like manual workshops.Walking into the workshop, the first impression is that it is clean and orderly.Each master is in charge of one or two links of production. Once the manufactured rifle or machine gun fails, he can quickly find out where the problem is and rework it as soon as possible.All members of the production team that caused this problem shall be jointly and severally liable, and part of the bonus for the month shall be deducted.The more times you are reworked, the more money you will be deducted.If you make a mistake but implicate others to be punished, not only will others be annoyed, but you will also be unable to pass that level.

Of course, if there is a punishment, there will be a reward. The Arsenal stipulates that the team that has not reworked for five consecutive days will receive additional rewards.This measure gives those who made mistakes a chance to make up for it. As long as they work hard in the future, they can get back the deducted bonus!

One reward and one punishment, coupled with generous wages and bonuses, not only the workers on the production line, but even several master craftsmen competed with each other. The production efficiency of the gun factory increased steadily, from 170 rifles per day to 190. .The number of heavy machine guns has increased to eight to ten per month, and the number of light machine guns has also reached 35 per month.It's just that the production efficiency of artillery has not been improved and has remained at the original level.Due to various reasons, mainly steel, Du Weiyan and the person in charge of the gun factory couldn't find a good solution for a while.However, the steel factory has successfully produced high-strength alloy steel, the quality of which is comparable to that of imported steel. Given time, it will definitely help the gun factory solve a lot of problems.

Not long ago, the machinery factory began to manufacture some of the machines needed for the factory's production, and sold them to merchants in the six northern provinces at a relatively low price. Li Jinyan specially helped Du Weiyan make a large advertisement on current political news, and also contacted people in the six northern provinces. Several newspapers reported on it at the same time.After some operations, many factories chose to purchase machines from the machinery factory under the Northern Arsenal.Although the quality cannot be compared with imported products for the time being, considering the cheap price and the promise of three-year warranty, they still prefer to do business with their own people.

"Three-year warranty?"

"Yes, I learned it from those factories in the industrial zone." Du Weiyan explained to President Lou University.

"Not my daughter-in-law?"

"President, this matter has nothing to do with me." Li Jinyan waved his hand quickly, "This was first proposed by the owner of a furniture factory in the industrial zone. He promised customers that within one year, any furniture sold by the furniture factory will be damaged It can be repaired for free, but the damage is too large or intentional damage is not within the scope. The reputation spreads, and more and more customers come here. Director Du thinks this method is good, so he simply uses it in the factory for reference. Considering the difference between machines and furniture, the warranty period will be increased to three years, within three years, as long as the damage is not intentional, the repair fee will be free, and after three years, it will be charged as appropriate."

As soon as this regulation of the machinery factory came out, Li Jinyan thought that there was a certain time-traveling colleague in the arsenal, but after asking several times, he found that it was not the case at all.After figuring out the details, he had to sigh that the business experience of Huaxia merchants is really extraordinary.

In the mid-eighteenth century, the recognized richest man in the world was Pan Zhencheng, the head of Guangdong Thirteen Banks, a Chinese businessman!Compared with the wealth he possessed at that time, some so-called rich men in later generations are simply not enough.At that time, China's foreign trade was almost monopolized by the Thirteen Banks, and Guangdong merchants also dominated the business circles at home and abroad.However, the two Opium Wars later completely broke this pattern. Many coastal ports were opened, and the Thirteen Lines gradually declined. Coupled with several fires, the Thirteen Lines, which was once in full swing, was eventually lost in the torrent of history.

After going through all the remodeled workshops of the arsenal, President Lou Da and his party came to the weapons testing ground on the west side of the arsenal.This testing ground is heavily guarded, and even the workers in the arsenal cannot enter without permission.

Most of the workers in the arsenal know that this test site cannot be approached easily, and they rarely come nearby, and they will try their best to spy on the situation here. Only spies from all sides, especially Japan, are very concerned about this arsenal.In this month alone, the soldiers captured three spies one after another, two of them were killed on the way to escape, and one half-dead was thrown directly into the interrogation room of the Intelligence Bureau. It is not clear whether they asked anything, but Qiao Leshan In the past few days, they often go there, occasionally bringing Ding Zhao with them.It was only then that Li Jinyan realized that Ding Zhao's greatest interest was in the study of various poisons, and he also dabbled in poisonous gas, rather than developing medicines.

Fortunately, his personality is still "normal" and he doesn't have a serious newspaper mentality, otherwise...Li Sanshao shuddered, and it turned out that senior intellectuals, especially senior intellectuals in chemistry and medicine, are the killers!

Ding Zhao's "hobby" reminded Li Jinyan of the poisonous gas bombs used by the Japanese in later generations on a large scale in China, the most notorious of which was mustard gas!Before he came here, there were still many poison gas bombs left by the Japanese army during World War II in Huaxia that had not been discovered.Back then, the Chinese soldiers fought to the death to defend their homes and the country. Under the bombardment of airplanes and cannons, they used their flesh and blood to build the Great Wall of Steel. Once the Japanese army encountered fierce resistance and could not attack for a long time, they would use poison gas bombs. How many soldiers did not die in real battles? In the duel of guns, but died under such despicable means? !The [-] troops in the Northeast frenziedly arrested innocent Chinese people for experiments!

For such a despicable and shameless nation, there are still people looking for them?Say good things about them, sympathize with them?

Whenever he thinks of the sympathy for Japan in the newspapers, Li Jinyan wished he could beat up these so-called "literati" and "peaceful people" in person. It is not them who dare to be harmed by the Japanese, but the ones killed by the Japanese. If it's not their family members, they can put on a face that thinks they are fair and just, and talk nonsense?Dare they not see the Lushun massacre and everything that happened in Fengcheng? !

Occasionally, Li Jinyan would have an impulse to simply arrest these people and use all the means that the Japanese used on the Chinese people on them, and see how they still stand and talk without back pain!Of course, when his reason was still alive, he only thought about it, and he hoped that these people would never give him a chance to put it into practice.

Li Jinyan kept Ding Zhao's hobby in mind, we don't need poison gas if we can, but we can study tear gas and hypnosis gas, right?Besides, both the Allies and the Entente countries used poison gas in the First World War. Even if the Chinese army did not use it on the battlefield, it is always necessary to have an understanding of poison gas warfare and know how to deal with the enemy using poison gas, right?

The U.S. emperor dropped two atomic bombs on Japan back then. With the current technology, even if Li Jinyan kidnapped Einstein and Oppenheimer, he would not be able to study this thing, but we have a plane, hang two tear gas bombs and keep going, let These scumbags have been crying for a few days at the head office, right?

If you can't kill them, you can scare them to death!

Li Jinyan thought hard, only to find out that Marshal Lou and the main persons in charge of the arsenal looked at him strangely.

Young Marshal Lou pressed his shoulders, leaned over and asked in his ear, "What are you thinking?"

Li Jinyan, who was distracted, didn't know that the expression on his face just now was cunning and cunning.But anyone who saw his expression would immediately think of two words: fox.

Or a fox who just stole an old hen.

"That," Li Jinyan laughed a few times embarrassedly, "I was distracted."

distracted?Laughing like this when distracted?

No one believed it.

Young Marshal Lou let go of his shoulders, and rubbed his thumb and index finger on his earlobe. Before Li Jinyan could blush, President Lou Da coughed. In front of everyone, be careful!

At this time, the soldier in the distance waved the signal flag in his hand, indicating that the weapon test was about to start. Everyone, including Li Jinyan, subconsciously backed away for a distance, waiting for the signal gun to go off.

It is said to be an experiment, but it is actually more like a small-scale exercise.

A trench nearly one kilometer long and 800 meters deep was dug on one side of the test site. Barbed wire fences and bunkers were erected in front of the trench. Machine guns were set up on the front and both sides of the trench. Soldiers are fully armed, with steel helmets on their heads, standing in the trenches.

President Lou Da raised his binoculars and carefully observed the firepower deployment in the trench. He couldn't help but gasped. There were nearly twenty machine guns. How many lives would it take to fill the trench?

The clerk who was in charge of recording the battle situation waved to the signal soldier not far away. The signal soldier raised his arm, and a red signal flare flew across the sky.

The roar of the motor suddenly sounded, and in the dust, more than a dozen steel monsters appeared in front of everyone.

The first ones were five refitted Ugly Type II tanks, which were "shrunk" a lot compared to Ugly Type I, with significantly improved speed and more flexible actions, but the firepower was still equipped with machine guns and no turrets.Even if the masters in the arsenal tried every means, they still couldn't "install" the artillery on the tank.Directly set up a mountain cannon?The ugly monster immediately lay down.

But even without guns, just four or five heavy machine guns are scary enough.

After the tanks, there are six trucks armed with steel plates. They still look weird, but the muzzles protruding from the shooting holes also arm these "armored vehicles" like hedgehogs.

The infantry of the same two battalions followed the tanks and armored vehicles, ignoring the smoke and flying dust from the motors, lowered their bodies, and matched the speed of the tanks and armored vehicles to attack the "enemy" position.

When the distance was close to 800 meters, the heavy machine gun fired first. Both sides used the Maxim imitation water-cooled heavy machine gun produced by the arsenal itself, and the rate of fire was no different from that produced in Germany.Because the canvas belt is easy to get wet, all metal belts are used. Although the cost increases, it can be recycled and reused.In the end, the ammunition factory decided to mass-produce metal ammunition chains.

The defending side fired first, and the infantry on the attacking side who followed the tank were judged "dead" or "injured" by observers and recorders from time to time, unable to continue fighting and had to leave the "battlefield."Although they were not reconciled, these soldiers could only stay where they were, and raised their arms to signal that they were "dead".

The attackers began to fight back.

The machine guns installed on the tanks and trucks rained bullets, and the rattling sound of the machine guns and the roar of the motors were intertwined.

The distance was close to 500 meters, 400 meters, and 300 meters. Several infantrymen who followed the tank stopped, pulled out the grenadiers they carried with them from behind, pinpointed the target, and tried to destroy the machine gun firepower of the defending side.

It's a pity, maybe it's because I haven't been in contact with these weapons for a long time, or maybe it's because of the tension caused by being on the scene. Eight grenades were fired in the first round, and none of the shells hit the target. Two tanks, due to motor problems, lay down less than 200 meters away from the defensive position.

The machine guns in the tanks were still ringing, and the rest of the tanks and trucks continued to approach the defensive positions.

The sound of the cannon sounded, and two 60mm mortars independently developed and produced by the arsenal opened fire, and an armored vehicle was immediately judged to be incapable of continuing to fight.But there are still three tanks and five armored vehicles still roaring on the battlefield.

"Cluster grenades!"

Two infantrymen with grenades jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the tanks and armored vehicles that were raging with machine guns...

This was the first time President Lou had seen such a fighting style.He knew that there were tanks in the arsenal, and he also knew that this kind of weapon was powerful, but he was not there when the ugly monster first appeared, and he couldn't personally feel the shock of the tank appearing in front of him. However, today, he witnessed it with his own eyes. There are almost no words to describe the shock of witnessing this battle involving tanks and armored vehicles.

Such a defensive method, such an offensive method... Maybe he is really old... But there is another kind of blood boiling in his body. As long as this kind of army can arm ten, no, even five divisions, it will not be too difficult. Will be invincible!

Such an army belongs to his son Lou Shengfeng!

boom!

The cluster grenade exploded, and although the soldiers on the defensive side were desperate to blow up the tanks and armored vehicles in a way of exchanging their lives for their lives, when the only remaining tank and three armored vehicles passed through the barbed wire one after another, they shot towards the trench at a distance of 50 meters. When the fire was fired, the outcome of the battle was already sealed.

The observer and the clerk simultaneously judged that the attacking side had won, and the signal soldier raised the signal gun again, and two shots fired, and the exercise ended.

Either standing or sitting, or lying on the ground, the soldiers immediately assembled as a team. The two battalion commanders who lost the battle took off their helmets, and stared at the two colleagues on the attacking side fiercely. TNND I killed everyone No, I still lost to these bastards!

Li Jinyan tugged on the sleeve of Marshal Lou, Marshal Lou turned his head, "What?"

"Young Marshal, please ask the President to say a few words."

"Why?"

"Boost morale, keep up the good work!"

"..."

"The leader's speech is a must."

"I see."

Young Marshal Lou then turned to President Lou Da and asked him to speak to the soldiers.

"What?" President Lou Da didn't react for a while.

"Please speak to the President." Young Marshal Lou said with firm eyes and a serious expression.

President Lou Da patted his bald head, giving lectures?Success, lectures are lectures!

Then, President Lou Da walked up to the soldiers who were assembled in line, waved his arm, and said loudly, "You guys, you've done a good job!"

Young Marshal Lou: "..."

Li Jinyan: "..."

Brother Soldier: "..."

In fact, compared to the bearded Ma and the others in the Northwest, President Lou Da is a serious bandit with a professional background...

When he returned to the Marshal's Mansion that day, President Lou Da hugged Lou Er Shao and gave him a kiss. Now he has completely thought about it, it doesn't matter if he chokes his father, as long as he has the ability, he will do it!

Lou Er Shao frowned and waved his hands, obviously not interested in President Lou Da's enthusiasm.

"Yeah!"

"My dear son, give me a kiss!"

"Yeah!"

"Come on, let Dad kiss you again!"

"Yeah!"

The angry Lou Er Shao had no choice but to use his trump card and burst into tears.

The second young master's cry drew Mrs. Lou's glaring eyes. President Lou had no choice but to send the second young man back to Mrs. Lou's arms carefully. Madam was very distressed.

Li Jinyan couldn't help but stepped forward, and made all kinds of funny faces at Lou Ershao, trying to make him laugh, but Lou Ershao was really amused, and stretched out a pair of small hands to Li Jinyan: "Yeah."

Mrs. Lou simply put Lou Er Shao into Li Jinyan's arms, "Hold him for a while, I still have something to do here."

With that said, the reason to invite President Lou Da to leave is likely to be a private and severe criticism of President Lou Da's behavior of making Lou Er Shao cry just now.

Li Jinyan sat on the sofa with Lou Ershao in his arms, he was not as stiff as before when he hugged the fat baby.While teasing Second Young Master Lou, he talked to Young Master Lou at the same time.

Originally, today's small-scale "exercise" was intended to include aircraft. However, the aircraft manufactured by the aircraft factory is very weak. The flight time does not exceed 10 minutes, and the altitude of the flight is only 200 meters at most, which is still some distance from the aircraft manufactured in Europe.

But from scratch, from simple to complex, there is always a process.Although there are three returned overseas students in the aircraft factory, two of whom have witnessed flight performances abroad many times and have a certain level of understanding of aircraft manufacturing and flying knowledge, but the aircraft manufacturing technology still needs continuous improvement and polishing.

After all, all the aircraft they manufacture rely on their own research, unlike engine factories that have drawings provided by the Germans as a reference.

To Li Jinyan's surprise, it was Young Marshal Lou who first proposed adding aircraft to combat exercises.His knowledge of the great role of aircraft in combat comes from later generations, but what Marshal Lou relies on is his own military accomplishment and mind.

I have to admit that geniuses sometimes make people unable to even feel jealous.Li Jinyan sighed, but there was a sudden warmth on his face, he turned his head, and Lou Er Shao was smiling at him like a flower.

"Yeah."

What just happened?This fat baby kissed him?

Li Jinyan was immediately happy, bowed his head and kissed Lou Er Shao's face, "Like brother? Brother likes you too!"

Young Marshal Lou was still expressionless, but he stood up suddenly and hugged Second Young Master Lou from Li Jinyan's arms.

"Young Marshal?" Li Jinyan raised his head in surprise, but Young Marshal Lou hugged Lou Er Shao and walked straight to the room of President Lou Da and Mrs. Lou with his long legs.

Li Jinyan: "..."

How is this going?
