Bright Sword: From Border Region Manufacturing to Major National Heavy Industry

Chapter 87 Old Kong's Big Luck

Seeing Li Yunlong's delighted expression, the brigade commander turned to Blind Cheng and Regiment Commander Xu and said, "Look at Li Yunlong's confidence, daring to go and snatch back the Hell Cannon from the division commander's side. And look at you two, so silent. Do you still have the nerve to take on the main attack mission?"

Blind Cheng couldn't help but ask the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, aren't you afraid that Li Yunlong will really anger the division commander?"

"If you're so capable, go and try provoking me!" The brigade commander glared at Blind Cheng.

"No, I wouldn't dare," Blind Cheng stammered, shrinking back in exasperation.

I would never be as arrogant and ignorant as Li Yunlong, who was a division commander!
"Commander Xu, what about you?" Blind Cheng was completely speechless. The brigade commander then looked at Commander Xu of the 771st Regiment.

"Brigade Commander, I will obey the arrangements." Regiment Commander Xu wisely refrained from arguing.

The two regimental commanders stopped arguing, and the brigade commander's subsequent meeting went smoothly.

First, prepare for battle, wait for the artillery shells to be supplied from the arsenal, and finally wait for the brigade commander to issue the combat order.

After the meeting, the brigade commander returned Li Yunlong's Hell Cannon to him, and of course, also transferred the Hell Cannon in his possession to Ding Wei.

Upon seeing this, both Blind Cheng and Commander Xu turned green.

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry. I just wanted to play a joke on you two, but I didn't expect it to come true. Don't be discouraged. The brigade commander said that if you can take the Hell Cannon from the division commander's side by your own ability, it will be yours. The brigade commander will not be envious at all."

Ding Wei added fuel to the fire: "Both regimental commanders, the brigade commander said that your two main regiments must cooperate with our two base regiments. I hope you won't let us down."

"Don't worry, we definitely won't let you down." Blind Cheng and Regiment Commander Xu sullenly went back, unwilling to stay and watch Li Yunlong and Ding Wei gloat any longer.

Originally, I thought I could keep an eye on Li Yunlong's Hell Cannon.

As a result, Li Yunlong's hell cannon was not even noticed, and he was laughed at by these stepchildren, which was a real disgrace!
"Haha, Commander Cheng, Commander Xu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You used to always be the ones showing off to me, but why aren't you showing off now? Where's the pride of your main force regiment? Where's the face of your main force regiment? Hahaha, Blind Cheng, don't pretend you're deaf!" Li Yunlong laughed twice as he chased after him, returning with a satisfied expression.

Cool!
He was always spoiled by these mothers and got to show off. His father was used as a typical example to be criticized by the brigade commander, who told him to learn more from them.

Now it's finally our turn to feel refreshed and watch them get their comeuppance, hahaha!
Ding Wei smiled and touched the barrel of the Hell Cannon, then leaned closer to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, you don't really want to take the Hell Cannon from the division commander, do you? Even our brigade commander doesn't dare to touch it."

“Old Ding, look at what you’re saying,” Old Li said seriously. “You and I both have Hell Cannons now, and the only one missing is Kong Erlengzi. I have to find a way to equip Kong Erlengzi with a Hell Cannon too! When the three of us brothers have Hell Cannons, we can join forces to kill the Japanese devils. Wouldn’t that be awesome?”

"The brigade commander said that if you can really snatch the hell cannon from the division commander, it's yours. Are you willing to give it to Lao Kong?" Ding Wei questioned.

Putting aside whether you, Li Yunlong, can actually seize it, are you really willing to part with such a precious and hard weapon as the Hell Cannon?

"Of course, we have to be willing to give it up," Li Yunlong said seriously. "Among the three of us brothers, Lao Kong's brain isn't working very well. I'm really worried that he'll be delayed by working on coal mining at the arsenal."

Li Yunlong thought to himself: I also want to keep them, but when I actually have two Hell Cannons, won't the brigade commander be tempted?

After all, the brigade commander gave the hell cannon to Old Ding, and the brigade commander is now empty-handed.

I'm not afraid of stealing, I'm afraid of being targeted.

So, it's better to just give it to Kong Erlengzi.

"Hehe." Ding Wei chuckled and said, "I have a feeling that Kong Erlengzi won't be delayed in his coal mining."

As the old saying goes: True wisdom appears as foolishness!

Perhaps this describes someone like Kong Jie.

Don't be fooled by the hard work of mining coal and the seemingly hopeless future; he actually relies on the arsenal.

If he can get along well with Li Muzhi, who knows what kind of great fortune awaits him, Old Kong.

"hope so."

...Border Region Arsenal

"Director Li, we are all familiar with the internal structure diagram of this locomotive, and we have also copied it for the technicians below. Once they are familiar with it, they can go with the combat troops to dismantle the Japanese locomotives."

Several key technical personnel from the Huangyadong Arsenal came to report to Li Muzhi.

Why use the word "report"?

This was because, while familiarizing themselves with the internal structure of the locomotive, they also took the opportunity to visit the arsenal where the hell cannons were being made and the shells were being produced.

I increasingly felt that this young man in front of me was remarkable.

These key technical personnel were all aware that Li Muzhi would inevitably become a top leader in my country's future military industry, and they would all become his subordinates.

Of course, it would be a great honor to work with such a genius in the military industry.

As for the technical personnel below, some were from the Huangyadong Arsenal, and some came from other arsenals.

In short, the key technical personnel at the Huangyadong Arsenal were responsible for absorbing knowledge from Li Muzhi and then replicating it.

"We still need to conduct spot checks and assessments on the technical staff below, and there can't be the slightest mistake." Li Muzhi nodded.

These senior technical experts are valuable talents in the military industry.

They wouldn't participate in military tasks like dismantling locomotives either.

Instead, they sent the people below over.

"Yes, Director Li." Several key technical personnel from the Huangyadong Arsenal nodded.

Li Muzhi then took out several other blueprints and said, "These are structural diagrams of the Japanese train carriages. Let's familiarize ourselves with them."

If the locomotive needs to be dismantled, the train carriages certainly can't be left out; they definitely have to be dismantled too.

Especially the steel pillars under the train carriages, those can be used as gun barrels.

Although we don't have the capability to manufacture cannon barrels yet.

No problem, we can save up the steel pillars first. Once our military industry capabilities improve, this will happen naturally.

"Okay." Several key technical personnel from the Huangyadong Arsenal nodded in agreement.

The structure of the train carriages was much simpler than that of the locomotives, and it didn't take long for the key technical personnel to become familiar with them.

"You all copy this down to the technicians below," Li Muzhi instructed.

"Yes, Director Li." The group left with the blueprints.

Li Muzhi arrived at the workshop where tools were being modified. There, the technicians were working hard to modify the tools according to Li Muzhi's requirements.

Wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, hammers, etc.

Upon seeing Li Muzhi arrive, the skilled workers immediately stopped and greeted him with respect: "Factory Director."

"Thank you all for your hard work, let's get back to work."

"Yes, factory director."

Li Muzhi inspected the area and then headed towards the Hell Cannon's shell production workshop.
