Chapter 46: Going to Yangcun to do business (Seeking follow-up reading)

"Old Kong, what's the difference between the chief and deputy positions? In the independent regiment, let's discuss it. Otherwise, you can be the chief position!" Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie who was in a bad mood, and comforted him after a dry laugh.

He knew what Kong Jie was thinking at the moment. Not long ago, when he left the New 1st Regiment, he should have felt similar to Kong Jie at the moment.

It's like after finally raising a child, the child suddenly calls someone else mom and dad. It feels as sad as marrying off a daughter.

However, when Li Yunlong arrived at the Independent Regiment, he was shocked to see the mess and shocking losses suffered by the regiment.

"Old Kong, can you tell us more about the battle situation that night? Why did the team still suffer such heavy casualties after being alerted?" Li Yunlong asked when he saw that Kong Jie had somewhat recovered.

After Kong Jie calmed down, he returned to that tragic night. He pondered for a long time, with an expression of incomprehension still on his face.

"It's strange, really strange. Each of the Japanese devils was holding a submachine gun. Although their number was less than that of a squad, their close combat firepower was as strong as that of a squadron of the Japanese devils!" Kong Jie recalled.

"When the gunfire was heard on the top of the mountain, I wanted to stop the enemy at the rocky hill, so I pulled the first company and the machine gun platoon up there."

"Wait, Lao Kong, you said you sent out the most elite company and machine gun platoon of the independent regiment at the beginning. Why is that? Did you know in advance that the Japanese were very powerful? Also, the top of the mountain is a cliff. It's freezing cold and there shouldn't be any sentries on it. Why did you arrange light and dark sentries on it?" Li Yunlong found the key point and interrupted Kong Jie directly.

"Well, it's like this. The last time Ren Zhong from overseas came to Yangcun, he told me that the Japanese had trained a special operations team with the intention of using them to launch a surprise attack on the Jin base headquarters and the Jinsui Army headquarters. This group of Japanese were specially selected elites, and their weapons were also very sophisticated and equipped with fully automatic weapons. I didn't quite believe it at the time, and I was more careful about the sentries. I placed three groups of light and dark sentries on the main road and one group of light and dark sentries on the top of the mountain." Kong Jie looked a little ashamed.

"Oh, Lao Kong, Lao Kong, what can I say about you, you..." Li Yunlong's eyebrows stood up when he heard it.

It turns out that there was such a clear warning behind the scenes, but his old friend didn't take it to heart at all!
It is not unfair at all that Kong Jie lost his position as the team leader!

If I hadn't asked him carefully, Kong Jie would have just glossed over the matter.

Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie with some disappointment, and for a moment he lost interest in asking further questions.

Main plane, Integrity Machinery Processing Factory.

Ren Zhong tried the manual punch press and tested the cutting head and the punching head by hand for a while. He was very satisfied when he saw the copper plate being punched down like tofu to form a cylinder.

With this punching pressure, the copper plate can be used for preliminary processing. There is no problem in punching it into a preliminary bullet shape. As for the closing part of the bullet, after the bullet head is put in, it needs to be manually hammered and deformed.

However, compared with the original production mode in the border area, Ren Zhong's manual punch press has increased production efficiency by several times. "Brother Li, Brother Wu, let's do a small batch trial production based on this. First, make 100 sets for me to test the waters. You can make the punch head according to the processing of 7.92 and 6.5 apertures. There is no need to assemble it. Just draw a simple schematic diagram of the assembly drawing, and then make an equipment description and give it to me. I will contact the customer for trial use. If it is OK, we will finalize the scale production." Ren Zhong said to the two bosses Li Shaoxin and Wu Jiancheng.

These two are Uncle Cao's apprentices. Ren Zhong acknowledged Uncle Cao as his master, so these two are naturally his senior brothers.

“Okay, little brother, you can ask people to try it more. After all, we were a little rushed in designing this. This is the first design that the master has given us, and we haven’t optimized it yet. You can ask the customers to try it and get feedback, and then we will combine it with our next optimization and strive to finalize the product so that this manual punch press can have functions similar to those of low-end electric punch presses. Our structure is simple, but we will try to make the functions more sophisticated!” Li Shaoxin has quite a business acumen. After laying an ambush for this product, he then boasted that the next generation would be better.

They are worthy of being the ones who can still make money after retirement. Even without Uncle Cao paving the way for them, with their technical level and Li Shaoxin's active mind, making money is only a matter of time.

The key point is that these two are quiet. For some of the requirements raised by Ren Zhong, even though there are some risks, they said nothing and processed them for Ren Zhong silently. For example, the processing of 7.92 caliber and 6.5 caliber, at first glance, is not for serious use, but thinking that these manual punching machines will be sold abroad, the two are too lazy to worry so much.

It's just like giving Laiyang steel pipes. I'm a seller of steel pipes, but you insist on using them to make rockets. How can you blame me?

The same goes for manual punching machines. They are obviously the tools that craftsmen rely on to make a living. If you want to use them for something else, who can control you?
When Ren Zhong came to Yangcun again, Li Yunlong and the entire headquarters of the independent regiment came out to greet him.

Ren Zhong could feel the enthusiasm on Lao Li's face even from more than a mile away.

"Brother Ren, Brother Ren, you are finally here. Lao Kong and I have been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time. Today, we finally have you." As soon as Li Yunlong arrived, he gave Ren Zhong a big hug.

"No problem, today we have plenty of sweet potato casserole, and we won't stop until we are drunk!"

"Come on, Lao Li, you should drink less of that sweet potato liquor. I really can't stand the taste." Ren Zhong said with some disdain, "If you kill a few more devils, that's the best welcome for me. The sweet potato liquor is just to kill our own people."

"Brother Ren, we, Old Li, will never hesitate in fighting the Japanese. But you also know that the independent regiment is short of soldiers and major generals, and the ammunition is so scarce that each person can't even get 5 rounds. We, Old Li, are looking forward to you, Brother Ren, coming to the independent regiment and building this arsenal for us so that our comrades will have ammunition support for the battle." Li Yunlong said after a few chuckles.

When leaving the clothing factory, Li Yunlong played a trick on Ren Zhong and treated him to a meal of sweet potato stew. Ren Zhong was so drunk that he agreed to finish the construction of several production lines at the No. 81 Chemical Factory at the clothing factory and then come to Yangcun to build a bullet production line for Li Yunlong.

From the production of sulfuric acid to the configuration of explosives and the reloading of bullets (Old Li doesn’t know yet that Ren Zhong has already prepared a manual punch press and copper plates for him to take off!). It’s a one-stop service for a fucking arsenal!

How could Li Yunlong not take such a serious matter seriously?
