Bright sword: starting from the logistics department

Chapter 3 Arriving at the Armory

Zhao Gan walked towards the arsenal in a daze. Since the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was not close to the arsenal, Zhao Gan didn't arrive at the gate of the arsenal until late in the evening.

As soon as Zhao Qian arrived at the gate of the arsenal, he saw Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department, walking towards him with a smile: "Xiaogan, here we come! You are promising, and you have taken over the arsenal. From now on, Uncle Zhang will rely on you for the weapons of the logistics department, haha."

Zhao Ganyuan's father was a combat staff officer at the headquarters, and his mother was a telegrapher at the headquarters. It can be said that he is a real Miaohong, so he is very familiar with some generals of the Eighth Route Army.It's just that Yuanben's parents both got sick and passed away when they were crossing the grass.

"Uncle Zhang, don't make fun of me. No matter what, you are still a junior in front of you." Zhao Gan replied with a wry smile.

Zhao Gan continued to speak without stopping: "Uncle Zhang, let's talk about the old days when we have time, and it won't be too late when the arsenal is in order!"

Zhang Wanhe said to Zhao Qian without being upset: "Xiaoqian has grown up and knows that the task is the main thing. I will introduce you first. This is the director of the bullet production workshop - Li Qing, this is the director of the mixed gunpowder workshop - Liu Qi, this is the director of rifle maintenance - Wang Wei, this is the production director of the shell production workshop - Li Huaiyi, and he is also responsible for the production of grenades. Now the arsenal has just moved here, and some large equipment has not been assembled yet, so production has not resumed."

Hearing what Zhang Wanhe said, Zhao Qian had a general idea of ​​the arsenal. He could only produce some bullets, grenades, and mortar shells. The output was not high. The bullets were mainly hand-reloaded, and the grenades were blown in half.

Zhao Qian looked at the production directors and said, "I am young, seniors, so I should listen to your opinions more, but I have already issued a military order at the headquarters to improve the arsenal and expand production. I also ask the directors to cooperate."

Several production directors heard Zhao Qian's words, although their faces were not good-looking, but they were not angry, but shouted sharply: "Yes!"

Zhao Gan was also relieved to hear the answers from several people, knowing that although they were a little bit resentful, they would cooperate well with him.So he said: "Well, the two Directors Li and Director Wang, you three first assemble the equipment as soon as possible. After the assembly is complete, don't produce it and check it carefully. Director Liu, please do your best. I have a new gunpowder formula. You and I can test how powerful it is and whether it needs to be improved."

After Zhao Ganhe and the directors finished speaking, they turned to Zhang Wanhe and said, "Uncle Zhang, I won't keep you. I will go to your place to plead guilty when the arsenal gets back on track."

"Haha, you boy are still polite to me, understand and understand, after all, you boy has issued a military order with the boss, so I won't bother you, I'm leaving." Zhang Wanhe replied with a smile when he heard what Zhao Qian said to him.

"Go slowly, Uncle Zhang, I'll go back to your place to apologize." Seeing Zhang Wanhe leave with a smile, Zhao Qian hurriedly added another sentence.

"Director Liu prepares some kerosene, saltpeter, and sulfur. (toluene extracted from kerosene, nitric acid extracted from saltpeter, sodium sulfite extracted from sulfur, sourced from the Internet) Let's try the production of a new type of gunpowder. Directors Li and Director Wang assemble the equipment as soon as possible.

In this way, Zhao Qian led Liu Qi to start the research and development experiment of TNT high explosives.Although the remaining three directors were dissatisfied, they resolutely carried out Zhao Qian's order and began to assemble and debug the machine.
