The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Government office building.

In the office on the top floor.

"It would be better to add a soft pad here on the shoulders~!"

"After all, all the weight of the vest is on these two straps. They will definitely rub against the shoulders, causing skin and flesh to break. Soldiers will not want to wear them."

"That will affect our combat effectiveness~!"

As he spoke, Li Feng stuffed the 56-caliber magazines filled with bullets into the magazine pockets of the Red Star Factory's tactical vest one by one.

A soldier carries four magazines during normal combat, plus one magazine on the gun, for a total of five magazines, with a total ammunition capacity of 150 rounds and four grenades. This is the designed basic ammunition carrying capacity.

Without the bulletproof plates, the amount of bullets carried in this ammunition base would undoubtedly be higher, but the bulletproof plates themselves are quite heavy, and everything has to be traded off, and soldiers are not superhuman in physical fitness.

The four full magazines on his body were not light. One magazine full of bullets weighed more than one pound, and four of them weighed more than five pounds. No wonder the caliber of the rifles behind him was getting smaller and smaller.

One is that after optimization, the internal charge can make small-caliber bullets more penetrating, and the other is that it can effectively increase the amount of ammunition that a single soldier can carry. The smaller the caliber, the smaller the bullet, and the lighter the weight. This is the general trend in the future.

The same weight of more than five kilograms can be increased from 150 rounds to 180 rounds or 210 rounds. For soldiers, the increased redundancy of ammunition also increases the duration of fire suppression.

In his early years, Li Feng liked to play Escape from Tarkov very much. This game designed by the Russians did not have much else in it, but it had a lot of types of bulletproof vests.

However, at the moment, considering current events, hand grenades are mandatory individual equipment. After countless rounds of optimization, bulletproof vests and tactical vests have long since eliminated the place for wooden-handled hand grenades.

"The position of the grenade is fine, but we have to consider the actual situation on the battlefield. We have to pull it out quickly, but in a rush, we can't just let it be thrown out casually~!"

It reminded me of the scene in Zhang Yimou's Youth, in which a soldier's grenade was hit by a bullet and the fuse caught fire, but he could not pull it out, which eventually led to a chain reaction. Li Feng also raised his requirements for the grenade bag.

The chances of this happening are relatively rare, but on the battlefield, facing fierce fighting scenes, it would be a big problem if the grenade could not be pulled out quickly.

Li Feng was not in a hurry. His superiors were not too pushy about the bulletproof vests. In fact, they were more urgent about the idea of ​​putting the truck gun into practice than the bulletproof vests.

This is because at present, the emphasis on offensive capabilities is always greater than that on defensive capabilities. At least, this combat view is still the mainstream.

There are too many people, there is no way. In the eyes of ordinary people, bulletproof vests are not cheap. The current soft bulletproof vests can only defend against pistol bullets and even grenade fragments. They are expensive and have poor effects.

"Yes~!"

Section Chief Jin meticulously recorded everything of Secretary Li's comments after trying them on.

We are not afraid of leaders having high demands, but we are afraid of leaders having vague directions and unclear strategies. People like Li Feng can give specific suggestions for improvement, which will let the people working below know how to proceed.

"We can't just design this one. One style can't meet all needs. The needs of the troops are varied. Not only can we make a magazine pouch on the chest, but we can also make one on the back~!"

"I can't reach it, but my comrades can. When my comrades' ammunition runs out, I can take the ammunition on the back of the comrades beside me in time. It does not affect the combat, and it also increases the overall ammunition carrying capacity in disguise~!"

"Balancing the weight of the front and back is one thing. Aren't you wondering what this bag in front is for? Come, let me see if you can figure it out~!"

Li Feng took out a cut steel plate from the cabinet on the desk. Section Chief Jin, who had been taking notes just now, stood up immediately.

“This, this~!”

Seeing Li Feng stuffing the steel plate into the bag in front of him, Section Chief Jin was so surprised that he was speechless.

"Do you understand?"

The weight this time is completely different from before. More than five kilograms of ammunition can be limited by the belt around the waist, but with the addition of seven kilograms of steel plate, the weight front and back is completely unbalanced.

The specific manifestation was that the area right in front of the chest could no longer bear the weight and began to tend to fall. When Li Feng jumped on the spot, this change became more obvious.

Originally, the design could protect the heart area on the chest, but after being shaken and fallen, the heart area was completely exposed.

"It was my fault for not considering this, Secretary Li~!"

The chest plate was installed in the front and covered the abdomen. Even if he was dumb, Section Chief Jin could see it clearly. After all, this strange-shaped vest was designed for the army, that is, for combat use. If he couldn't see it, he wouldn't be a cadre. "No, I didn't tell you. Do you know why? Because the people you transferred there are unstable factors in the factory~!"

Li Feng waved his hand and took out the steel plate again. It was indeed quite heavy, even without the wooden handle grenade.

He did not blame Section Chief Jin. He wanted to produce the tactical vests and bulletproof plates separately. The vests were only produced in the sewing workshop, while the bulletproof plates were produced in the research institute.

The two do not interfere with each other, and neither knows what the other is doing or what the use of their own products is. Only when they are sent to the troops or other units will they be combined. This is the requirement made by Li Feng for confidentiality.

Section Chief Jin's face darkened for a moment, but then he immediately straightened his chest, because Li Feng had told all this to him, the person in charge.

How could Section Chief Jin not know what kind of people he had under him? The fact that he knew less was also for their own good.

"The troops need bulletproof equipment. This is a combat requirement that must be faced in the future under the new situation. Our factory has this foundation. You are only responsible for producing this vest, but you must design and make the vest well. You will step out of the office and take charge of the production in the workshop~!"

Li Feng knocked on the steel plate on the table and looked at Section Chief Jin with a suggestive look. His subconscious mind was telling him that what was bulletproof was pure steel plate, not anything else.

Even Section Chief Jin, Li Feng did not reveal too much. Alumina bulletproof inserts are, after all, cutting-edge technology in this era. Without a deep understanding, one can just follow the instructions to research and produce them.

"Yes, these people are really impatient and can't control their mouths. Not telling them is for their own good~!"

Section Chief Jin walked to the desk, shook the weight of the steel plate, and when he looked at the vest, or waistcoat, his eyes changed completely.

The steel rolling mill has become the Red Star Factory, and he is now just a small section chief who has not moved for so many years. Everyone has ambitions. People like those in the political and educational department who sit in offices have few people under them and are not valued in the factory.

Once you are able to become a workshop director, not only will your rank be higher, but you will also be in charge of so many people and the power and authority of the position will be completely different.

"Those who can't control their mouths and like to shout, at most we know that they are making carrying equipment for the troops, and the damage they cause to our factory is limited, but if anyone dares to tell others, immediately find Liu Guangqi to deal with him, first put him in jail, and then fire him. You have to explain this to them, Red Star Factory, we won't joke with them~!"

"Those who don't want to do it, those who continue to slack off, don't hesitate, give me the list and I'll sign it~!"

Li Feng unbuckled the belt around his waist, took off his tactical vest, and looked at Section Chief Jin with a sharp gaze, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

For those who can be helped, Li Feng will try his best to give them a chance, but if they really can't be helped, he doesn't mind firing them. If they don't know how to seize the last chance, then these scum eliminated from the workshop will really have no value at all.

Section Chief Jin understood what Secretary Li meant and nodded quickly, cold sweat almost seeping out of his back.

Normally, people at their level don’t get to meet Secretary Li, and only in this situation can they feel the other side of his attitude towards employees.

He is usually friendly to those who are willing to work, and rewards those who do a good job. Now Secretary Li has started to take action against those who do a poor job.

"Do you know why I picked you out of the Political Education Department? Because you are politically sensitive and you are more cautious in doing things. The design of the bulletproof vest can be slower. I don't blame you, but the people under you need to be trained well. This is your opportunity to improve and enhance your management ability~!"

Sitting back at his desk, Li Feng's tone of voice changed again. The warning just now seemed like a passing cloud, as if it had never happened. The combination of defense and attack made Section Chief Jin even more unsure of the secretary's temper.

"Anyone can operate a sewing machine. If you can't do it well, there are a lot of people in the factory who can replace you. You must have a sense of crisis. If you want to go back to the political education department and do nothing, or stand under the lights, let all our soldiers thank you for your efforts~!"

Li Feng took out cigarettes and a can of Huazi from the drawer and threw them over. These were things only the factory director had. Originally, Director Yang had given them to Li Feng, but now it was Li Feng who gave them to others to win their hearts.

"I don't smoke, Secretary Li, thank you, I really don't smoke~!"

After taking the can of Huazi thrown by Li Feng, Section Chief Jin felt it was a little hot. He put it on the desk and waved his hands. He didn't dare to accept the thing, but he had the courage to take this opportunity to demonstrate his ability and move to a higher level.

And it’s very big!

"You don't have to whip them, but you have to distribute them. Just being able to whip is not enough. If you can design bulletproof vests well, the position of deputy director of this workshop is yours. If you can lead elite soldiers and make them listen to you, the position of workshop director is yours~!"

Section Chief Jin was trembling all over. This was not because of fear, but because of the courage inspired by Secretary Li's guidance, the courage to fight to the death.

In the past, he was muddle-headed in the Political Education Department, a position that he would never be able to climb up in his lifetime. But suddenly one day, the arms were opened and waiting for him. Anyone would be trembling with fear.

And Li Feng wanted this effect. (End of this chapter)
