Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The Ludong Special Zone has no worries for the time being. Li Guosheng then put his limited energy on his high hopes and built the Ludong Arsenal in Yiyuan County at a huge cost.

At the beginning of the establishment of the arsenal, Li Guosheng, as the commander of the army, chose the location of the factory in the entire Ludong Special Economic Zone, the little-known Yiyuan County, because of two factors: First, Yiyuan County is located in a mountainous area, which is very beneficial to the whole Covert production in the arsenal.Even in the face of the invasion of the Japanese army and the bombing of the air force in the future, the military industry foundation that I have worked so hard to build can be preserved intact in Yiyuan surrounded by mountains.

Second, according to the memories in Li Guosheng's mind, only Yiyuan County in the entire eastern Shandong area has iron ore, coal mines and other resources that are most in demand by military enterprises. 194 Ludong Armory Factory It can be said with certainty that after the development of Yiyuan County, its own military factory will not need to worry about raw materials such as coal and iron ore for at least a few years.

The two preconditions that could not be compared anywhere made Li Guosheng ignore the objections of Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and others, and chose the military industrial base of the entire Ludong Special Zone at this moment. Yiyuan County developed by the National Government.

After almost a month of busy work, several weapons and ammunition production lines purchased by Li Guosheng from Germany have been fully assembled with the assistance of German engineers.Army Commander Li Guosheng, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and his party have not yet entered the huge military production base that has just been built. Fu Guangyun, who has received the news in advance and was appointed by Li Guosheng as the director of the Ludong Military Factory, has already led a group of subordinates from the military factory to welcome them out. . [

Can be appointed by Li Guosheng as the director of the military factory.Fu Guangyun also has his own skills and hard power.A few months ago, the transaction with Germany was completed, and all the production lines have not yet arrived.Li Guosheng, who has long been trained to plan everything before taking action, began to worry about the large number of workers in military factories.

In order to recruit a sufficient number of military personnel and skilled workers in a short period of time 194 Ludong Arsenal.Under the current situation of war in China, there are only two ways: one is to directly recruit fresh graduates from universities and colleges in big cities such as Peking.However, this idea was just proposed by Li Guanghua, the deputy army commander.It was vetoed by Li Guosheng.

In Li Guosheng's eyes, no matter how much theoretical knowledge a fresh graduate possesses, he must become a truly qualified engineer.In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible.More importantly, several production lines of our own.At least several hundred excellent military technical workers are needed.And I have to think that it is impossible for these universities to recruit so many people at one time, as far as China is concerned.

The road to recruiting students at the school was not feasible. Li Guosheng, who had a keen eye, directly set his sights on the Gongxian Arsenal, which was not far from Ludong and was known as one of the several major arsenals in the Republic of China, through the map and his own memory.I don't have time to train military personnel, so I poach the corner of the national government and pay a lot of money directly from the Gongxian Arsenal... >

Because of the chaotic wars of warlords in China every year, the Gongxian Arsenal has long since lost its prosperity at the beginning of its establishment.Coupled with the tight budget.Various raw materials cannot be guaranteed and other reasons.Nuo Da's arsenal, apart from being able to produce some of the most basic ammunition and grenades, basically lost the ability to produce weapons and equipment.

There are no conditions for production, and no products can be sold outside, which means that Nuoda's arsenal has no profit.There is no benefit to the arsenal.It also means that thousands of workers in the arsenal will have no source of livelihood.

Ever since, when the source of income for the Gong County Armory had not been secured, the intelligence personnel under the Ninth Army had more than a thousand skilled workers agreeing to work in the Ludong Special Zone after a simple publicity.Relying on the prestige of the Ninth Army through the battles of battalion commanders.Faced with the conditions proposed by Li Guosheng, the military troops stationed in various places did not make any obstruction, and directly released more than 1000 employees and their families in the Gongxian Arsenal.

In this way, by poaching the wall, Li Guosheng found all the skilled workers enough for his arsenal in a short period of time.As for Fu Guangyun, the director of the arsenal, there was no surprise at all. Among the more than 1000 employees, he was the former first deputy director of the Gongxian arsenal who had the highest position among the more than [-] employees.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the Ludong Arsenal, he was directly appointed as the director of the Ludong Armory by Li Guosheng, the military commander, with the rank of lieutenant colonel because of his outstanding talent and management ability.

Looking at Li Guosheng who came in a hurry, Fu Guangyun, who already had the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder and was the director of the arsenal.He directly paid a military salute to Li Guosheng, and reported with a serious face: "Report to the military seat, Fu Guangyun, the director of the Ludong Armory Factory, has been ordered to come to greet you, please give instructions to the military seat...>

"Lieutenant Colonel Fu, Factory Director Fu, there is no perfect person here. All these false courtesy, in front of me, will be completely exempted from now on... >

"Please rest assured, the military seat, I guarantee that I will not let you down... >

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go straight to the production workshop... >

"Yes, Seat...>

Walking into the long production workshop, a bullet production line with a length of more than 20 meters suddenly appeared in front of him.Looking around, accompanied by the continuous roar of the machine, the bright yellow bullets were produced directly from the end of the production line.Then, they were piled up and stacked neatly in the ammunition box by two workers...>

Time passed by every minute and every second. Under Li Guosheng's watchful eyes, a box of 10 rounds of ammunition was produced in less than [-] minutes.And the packing is closed.

At this moment, Ye Chuxuan, the head of ammunition production who was busy in another workshop, a middle-aged man with thick glasses and an obvious bookish look, appeared in front of Li Guosheng under the greeting of the factory manager Fu Guangyun.

"Military seat, this is the chief person in charge of several ammunition production lines in our military factory. Director Ye Chuxuan. Director Ye is more familiar with the situation in the ammunition workshop than I am. Next, Director Ye Let me introduce you to the specific situation of the ammunition production workshop." Fu Guangyun pointed to Ye Chuxuan in front of him and introduced.

Li Guosheng nodded.Ye Chuxuan, who obviously didn't know much about officialdom rules, didn't even say hello to Li Guosheng.He pointed directly at the rifle bullet production line in front of him, and introduced. [

"Army seat. Under the guidance of German engineers, two production lines for rifle bullets, one production line for heavy machine gun bullets, one production line for grenades, and one production line for mortar shells. A total of five production lines have been assembled and put into production."

"Uh...>

"Reporting to the military seat, according to the shooting production capacity of several production lines, if the raw materials are sufficient, the rifle bullet production line can produce 12 rounds of bullets per day. Of course. If the production line is run at full capacity 24 hours a day, it will be completely It can reach 20 bullets per day...>

"But what?" Li Guosheng frowned.Subconsciously asked back.

"Because of the lack of raw materials in the military factory, so far, we have only opened a rifle production line and a grenade production line. Even so, these two production lines can only operate for four hours a day...>

"How could it be a raw material problem...>

"Please calm down, military seat...>

"Although the military department has authorized us the right to purchase raw materials for production, in a short period of time, the humble staff cannot purchase enough raw materials. More importantly, the steel required for the production of ammunition is not ordinary steel What can be replaced. In China, only the high-quality steel used to make rails can be used. Therefore, so far, the production raw materials of the arsenal are still insufficient, only reaching 20.00% of the raw materials required for general production. Even some raw materials, Even money can't buy it... >

"Forget it, let's not discuss this matter for now."

After listening to Fu Guangyun's introduction, the furious Li Guosheng realized that it was not the other party's fault.So, he skipped this question and continued to ask.

"So far, how much ammunition has been produced by the arsenal, and how is the quality...>

Under the direction of factory director Fu Guangyun, Ye Chuxuan, who had already shown a nervous expression in the face of Li Guosheng's anger, spoke again and reported: "Reporting to the military seat, so far, a total of 90 production steps have been produced in my ammunition production workshop." 90.00 rounds of machine gun ammunition and [-] grenades are placed in the ammunition depot behind the workshop and can be extracted at any time. As for the quality of these ammunition, all have been randomly inspected. I can guarantee that these ammunition 』The pass rate is definitely above [-]%…>

"Okay...>

"Chief of Staff, 90 rounds of ammunition. Enough for a week of training for the troops...>

"Yes, Seat...>

Walking into the weapons and equipment production workshop, the roar of the machines in the ammunition production workshop disappeared completely.Looking at the several production lines that have been assembled in front of him.On the production line, there are more than a dozen workers who are maintaining the equipment.Li Guosheng knows it without introduction.It must be because of the raw materials that these workshops cannot produce.

Seeing Li Guosheng's gaze on him, Fu Guangyun, the director of the arsenal, quickly stood up.He opened the mouth and said: "Military seat, I am directly in charge of the weaponry production workshop, and I will introduce it to you. I believe that you should already know that because of the raw materials, these production lines cannot be effectively operated at all... >

Seeing the flickering disappointed expression on Li Guosheng's face, director Fu Guangyun suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he added: "However, military seat, in order to test the feasibility of these production lines. We use Some railway rails are used as raw materials, and some weapons and equipment have been produced...>

"In the warehouse just behind the workshop, we produced and assembled a total of two hundred rifles and one hundred submachine guns. Ten light machine guns and two heavy machine guns. Now, these weapons have all been packed and are waiting for the logistics department to ship go...>

"Uh...>

In the huge warehouse, open a big box in front of you.A row of ten rifles were neatly placed in the box.Seeing the weapon, Li Guosheng was excited, without hesitation, he directly picked up a brand-new rifle that could still smell a strong smell of gun oil, and began to fiddle with it.

With his years of military career, a brand new rifle was dismantled into a pile of parts by Li Guosheng in less than half a minute.Then, under the shocked eyes of the surrounding subordinates, he quickly assembled it into a perfect rifle.Then, facing Fu Guangyun behind him, he sighed with admiration. [

"Good gun, although I haven't fired live ammunition yet. However, based on the touch after I get it, I can be sure that the rifle in my hand is definitely not inferior to the original rifle we imported from Germany... >

"There is...>

After the introduction, Director Fu Guangyun walked directly to the box containing the light machine gun.Opening the lid of the box, he picked up a Czech-style light machine gun that emitted blue light and was famous on the Chinese battlefield in World War II, and continued.

"Junzuo, this is a ready-to-use light machine gun assembled by the machine gun production line. After testing, it is comparable to imported machine guns in terms of shooting speed and barrel life. The heavy machine gun over there is There is no problem with the quality either.”

The arsenal that I had put in so much effort to build was finally officially put into production, and successfully produced the equipment I wanted.It can be said that Commander Li Guosheng's trip was worthwhile.However, the joy of being happy, the problem of insufficient raw materials in the arsenal was always in Li Guosheng's mind from the beginning to the end.

After visiting the major workshops of the arsenal, I walked into the office of the factory director Fu Guangyun.Li Guosheng no longer had the slightest scruples, and asked Fu Guangyun directly.

"Director Fu, as the director of the arsenal, you should be the most clear about the various raw materials the factory needs. Now, you can introduce it to me first. After I go back, I will raise it for you as soon as possible. Clearly, with the continuous development of large-scale live ammunition training, the various ammunition needed by the troops will be an astronomical number. Therefore, your arsenal must be fully put into production in the shortest possible time...>

With the consent of Li Guosheng, the military seat, Fu Guangyun began to list the current difficulties of the arsenal one by one.

Of course, after all, the most urgent need is all kinds of raw materials.

The production of weapons and ammunition requires a large amount of high-quality steel, the copper required for the production of bullet warheads, the rare metal tungsten required for the production of special bullets, the saltpeter and sulfur required for the production of gunpowder...>

Looking at the large list Fu Guangyun made for himself, Li Guosheng, who was still immersed in excitement just now, felt dizzy for a while.I originally thought that after buying equipment, my own arsenal can be put into use, and a steady stream of weapons and ammunition can be provided to the troops.However, what I didn't expect was that in order to truly build this military factory, there were still so many tasks that I hadn't done properly.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng frowned with pain on his face, and began to solve the current difficulties encountered by the arsenal one by one. rs! ! !
