Fengxian Jiangshan

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."

"You want to run before you know how to leave?" Zhang Zuoxiang said from the side: "Now we are no match for the Japanese at all. I think it is better for Yuting to deal with Fengtian from top to bottom first. He is not qualified. The local officials will take it down, the local bandits will be wiped out, and the ground will be stabilized, so we will have a firm foothold before we can let go.”

"The issue of military discipline can't be relaxed." Sun Liechen also spoke: "Yuting, you emphasized a lot of things a while ago. The military discipline of Fengjun has been greatly improved, especially those recruits from the independent brigade. An example, but there are also places that are not satisfactory.”

Zhang Zuolin has long ordered a large-scale rectification of military discipline. The scale of this operation is absolutely unprecedented. On the one hand, the army conducts internal investigations, and on the other hand, Wang Yongjiang directs the police to severely crack down on the soldiers.

As the end of the year approaches, soldiers have more money in their pockets, and they are more active. It is understandable that they want to relax.But there are also strict regulations, the business must be fair, no one is allowed to take a needle for nothing, and no one is allowed to get drunk and make trouble.

Just relax a little on the issue of the brothel, but you must return to the barracks before eleven o'clock in the evening, and you are not allowed to mess around outside.With strict restrictions, the appearance of the soldiers has been greatly improved, and the common people in Fengtian are also gradually surprised to find that the former Uncle Qiu Ba knows how to pay for shopping, and he doesn't make trouble casually. The law and order in the market has changed a lot.

The most thorough implementation of Zhang's requirements is the Independent Brigade. This brand new team does not have any burdens from the past, and most of the soldiers have no pollution.They sent the military salary back home early, so that the family could have a comfortable year.

Some of those who got home for the holidays bought New Year’s goods in groups, and then carried them home. As for those who couldn’t go back, they trained and studied in the military camp. The military camp also prepared a lot of New Year’s goods. Everyone had a good time.

Because of Zhang Tinglan's work, Sun Liechen also expressed support for Lao Zhang's proposition. He advanced part of the funds from the military welfare company and distributed it as an allowance.And tell these soldiers that if they behave well, they can get various benefits and benefits. If they violate military discipline, these benefits will be revoked.

In addition to using money to lure, Sun Liechen also decisively kicked out a few thorns from the army, so his subordinates did not violate discipline.The worst thing was Tang Yulin's subordinates, who had problems frequently in the past two days, and Wang Yongjiang had already caught several batches of troublemakers.

As a result, the conflict became more and more intensified, and Sun Liechen was also a little worried, so he reminded Lao Zhang that he must pay attention to this matter.Lao Zhang also thought so. As soon as they returned to the Marshal's Mansion, Yang Yuting ran over panting.

"Marshal, it's not good. Director Wang seized a batch of opium from Deputy Teacher Tang, and Tang Yulin led people to surround the Finance Department!" (To be continued...)
