The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"In order to adapt to the ever-changing military changes in the world, our army should also keep pace with the times, seize the forefront of the development of the times, and carry out a series of reforms and innovations in advance. First of all, it must be reflected in weapons, equipment and tactics. I believe you have all read the material, and what I want to talk about today is the issue of new equipment!"

The major event has been decided, and the work of expanding the army and dividing the war zone to everyone's satisfaction is basically completed. Whether it is true or false, except for Wang Jingwei who yelled outside without pain, Lao Jiang and the princes from all walks of life are not unhappy.

But whether this war can really be fought, and how far it can be fought, they have different ideas and so on. Half of them are skeptical, but the other half are very clear about Zhu Bin's determination, and there is no turning back!

In any case, this juncture is considered to be in the past, at least it can give comfort to the people of the whole country, right?Furthermore, while preparing for war, there must also be a nationwide mobilization, and the issuance of war bonds is essential. According to Zhu Bin's plan, at least 500 billion war bonds must be issued, not only in China, but also in London. Stock Exchange and Wall Street in New York to issue!

It is equivalent to saying that this time, China will use the money of the whole world to fight the war. Such a large amount of money has never been seen before!

500 billion!Although it is legal currency, it is equivalent to more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. What a lot of money... Big bosses including Lao Jiang are all yearning for it. With so much money, it can kill Xiaori even if it turns around Book?Well, I guess it won't cost!So how will the money be distributed after it is obtained...?Countless pairs of golden eyes stared up, and half-hearted ones immediately became steadfast. If you have money, who the hell will let it go!

So even though Zhu Bin's plan for reorganizing the army hadn't been released yet, they were not in a hurry to protest against it. According to Boss Zhu's usual style, this is going to be a boy who spreads money!Therefore, when he spoke, all the people present widened their eyes and pricked up their ears to listen.

only.This time, the meeting was not held in those decent places in Zhongyang, but was held in Jinling Arsenal at Zhu Bin's request.

After six years of consolidation and expansion, Jinling Armory has become one of the largest weapons production bases in the country, capable of manufacturing German K98 series rifles, Czech ZB-26, German mg34 light machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, etc. series of weapons.In addition, there are 37mm anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns imitating Bofors field guns imitating Krupp cannons and howitzers, and even initially have the ability to imitate Krupp heavy artillery, but the output is not high enough.The rest of the mortar and grenades are self-evident.

The output of bullets, grenades, and shells is also very high, supplying almost one-third of the conventional weapons and equipment of the central yang army.

The factory covers a very large area, so even though more than [-] people came this time, all of them entered the product showroom modeled after the Shanghai GD Headquarters Wanguo Commodity Showroom, it still didn't look too crowded. .Bright glazed lamps illuminate, or hang on the wall.Either in the cabinet or on the stand, the weapons are shining brightly.

He Shouqian, general manager He Shouqian, who is He Yingqin's confidant and relative, felt extremely honored to be able to welcome more than a hundred bigwigs from across the country since the chairman, especially when he saw the chairman showing his high-quality products from time to time. When he smiled approvingly and nodded, Mr. He's heart was almost overjoyed.And He Yingqin who accompanied him was also honored.

As Yan Xishan and Li Zongren, who each hold an arsenal in their hands, they are envious and jealous of such a good arsenal in the hands of Lao Jiang.They also have their own, and the counterfeit products are also very complete, but after all, they can't compare with the rich and powerful old Jiang! Qing factory.Gongxian factory, Guangzhou factory, etc., none of them are small in scale and can support the equipment of millions of Chinese troops.That's no joke.

Of course, the sum of all of them is not as attractive as Zhu Bin, who is standing on a shelf imitating the German fh18 heavy artillery, condescending and talking in a loud voice, because the careful bosses have already discovered that, Zhu Bin looked at these weapons with dismissive eyes.

As soon as the word "new equipment" was uttered, the humming and buzzing discussions in the room immediately became more and more muffled, and many complicated eyes shot over. He Yingqin and He Shouqian's uncle and nephew immediately raised their minds nervously, staring at Zhu Bin.

"Under the new complex environment of war, in addition to requiring higher basic quality of the army, it also requires fast response, flexibility and maneuverability, and is good at small group breakthroughs. In addition, there is the most critical one, that is, in the shortest time, Deploy as many personnel as possible on the front of the battlefield, and throw more ammunition. It can even be said that the side that wins the war is often the one that puts the most ammunition in the battle. Fighting will or something, in a national war, there is no ri It’s as important as I’ve emphasized.”

"To sum it up, more people, faster reaction speed, and greater weapon delivery!"

"Among the above three points, in terms of the number of people, we have a national base of nearly [-] million, which is seven or eight times higher than that of Japan, and our local operations are much stronger than the Japanese army's need to travel thousands of miles by sea and land. In terms of response speed, we have The quantity and quality of scientific and technological equipment in the country surpassed that of Japan in an all-round way, and the command system was smooth and flexible from the center to the front. In terms of the amount of weapons released, the current central army and all other armies are basically no different from the Japanese army. In short, this is far from enough, at least in my opinion, it is not in our interest to just have the ability to fight against Japan and lose both."

Zhu Bin casually swayed this big-budget thing out, watching the expressions of everyone at the same time, obviously seeing some impatience.After all, similar things have been spread all over the new military academies these days, and everyone knows about it.

It's just a pretext, it has to be said, otherwise it would be too abrupt to serve hard dishes directly, and it won't show its weight!

Ignoring those people's eagerness to reveal the truth, Zhu Bin's voice echoed loudly in the hall, forcing it into everyone's ears: "Our country is the last huge colony found by the big powers in the world, and they will not let it go easily. .If we fight with Japan and lose both sides, a new round of carve-up frenzy will definitely come. In order to prevent such bad consequences, we must win the war against Japan overwhelmingly without harming the root cause. This requires Prepare enough powerful weapons."

"Today, I will introduce to you one by one the regular equipment we will be installing!"

Finally got to the point, Lao Jiang stared at the first thing, he vaguely guessed Zhu Bin's intention to invite everyone to the arsenal, but the answer to the mystery has not been touched until now, it seems that this kid's ability is too powerful.

Zhu Bin raised his hand and snapped his fingers two times towards the outfield, then slapped the cannon tube next to him, and said in a teasing tone: "It's not suitable for such a stupid and clumsy guy." Because of the new concept of war, at least, it needs to be able to run on its own, instead of being dragged and moved slowly. In that case, it will be bombed into parts by retaliatory artillery fire before it can be transferred. So , Our first goal is to mechanize the artillery fire of all participating units! At least one division will be equipped with self-propelled artillery of this caliber for at least one battalion!"

A battalion!According to the new establishment, that is 18 self-propelled artillery!Plus a bunch of ammunition vehicles and matching anti-aircraft weapon systems!

The eyeballs of the big brothers immediately widened three points, every front-line combatant has it? !One by one, they bowed their heads and quickly counted with their fingers. Good guy, you can easily get a hundred self-propelled artillery this time!It's a big deal at such a low price!

Opening your mouth is a big dish, what will happen next?The light from the eyes became hungry and thirsty, and the sound of swallowing saliva kept coming and going.

Four soldiers carried two wooden boxes and walked in separately from the crowd, and placed them next to the cannon.Zhu Bin lifted the cover of one of them with his foot, and took out a beautiful and smooth rifle from it, tore off the outer oilcloth, and showed the shiny gun body in front of everyone: "Everyone, let me introduce you first." , is a semi-automatic rifle specially designed by us for the troops participating in the war!"

There were more than a dozen sighs of disappointment, but the corners of the lips of the bosses in the front row moved slightly. They knew very well that the weapon that could determine victory or defeat on the battlefield was a reliable rifle besides the cannon!Nowadays, each of their families has generally installed German-style imitation single-action rifles, and the semi-automatic ones have also bought some old gadgets that Zhu Bin's troops retired from, and they are well aware of their sharpness.

At this moment, when Zhu Bin came on stage, he showed the most critical and largest number of gadgets. It was a kind that had never been seen before. The changes brought about must be huge!

The eight-pound rifle was like a straw in Zhu Bin's hands. He shook it with three fingers: "The m1939 semi-automatic rifle uses a gas-piston rotary locking action. It is long and weighs 3.95 kilograms. It has a long barrel. Four right-handed rifling. Use reduced-charge bullets, 10 rounds or 20 rounds of punched riveted magazines for ammunition, the theoretical shooting speed is 600 rounds per minute, and the effective range is 700 meters. There are two modes of single and three rounds, which can guarantee During the battle, put more ammunition ten times the amount of the Japanese army per unit time!"

A burst of exclamation reverberated in the hall, and the big shots from all walks of life made no secret of their greedy eyes. They all started as big soldiers, and they have fought bloody battles for half their lives. They know the benefits of a good gun!This guy in front of him is a fully equipped light machine gun!A gadget that only weighs eight catties has the same effectiveness as the Czech style. It is equivalent to a light machine gun in each of the participating troops, and a division has more than 1 guns. Who can be this firepower!

It was an instant hit!He Yingqin was a little anxious when he saw it, Zhu Bin couldn't get too much of the limelight.He hurriedly made a look at his distant relatives, and He Shouqian immediately coughed softly and said, "It would be nice to have such an exquisite firearm, but our country's industrial level is limited, I'm afraid we can't mass-produce equipment..."

Zhu Bin turned to look at him and said with a smile, "This gun is made by Jinling Arsenal!"

"What!?" He Shouqian was dumbfounded, and He Yingqin and Old Jiang suddenly changed color!
