Chapter 419: Exquisite
Dai Li's inquiry made Zheng Yi suddenly raise his vigilance, and Xu Maofu, who was sitting on Zheng Yi's left, immediately thought of the theft of the arsenal warehouse, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zheng Yi who looked as usual. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a short hesitation, Zheng Yi glanced around and said with a smile: "Brother Yunong is really powerful, such a secret news has been known to you...... Originally, I thought I could give Uncle Yu Shi and the members of the delegation a huge surprise, haha! ”
Everyone smiled, and all eyes were focused on Zheng Yi's face, obviously interested in the automatic rifle that Zheng Yi personally designed and patented.
Zheng Yi took a sip of wine, unhurriedly answered the automatic rifle question that everyone was interested in, and as soon as he said two sentences, he once again caused a burst of exclamations:
"Actually, the British and German militaries have long known about the two automatic rifles I designed, and the German company Lulin has sent me an official letter regarding the purchase of patents, and I am still hesitant to agree."
"So, these two automatic rifles are very technologically advanced?" Yang Jicheng, who came back from studying in Germany and is proficient in firearms design, hurriedly asked.
Zheng Yi nodded unceremoniously: "Not bad!" At least for ten years, no one will be able to design a better and more practical automatic rifle. ”
"These two automatic rifles are designed based on the principle of air conduction, one is a semi-automatic rifle and the other is a fully automatic rifle, both guns weigh within four kilograms, and are designed to have a maximum range of up to 800 meters, and an effective range of 400 meters, with two options for calibers, 7.92 and 7.62 millimeters."
"Because the bullets used are all unprecedented intermediate rounds, that is, between rifle and pistol rounds, these two new rifles will not be put into mass production until a large number of rounds have been produced."
"In order to obtain more experimental data, I just made more than a dozen sample guns, and ordered 100,000 rounds of four specifications of ammunition from Germany through Lu Lin, which is still in the experiment, at least half a year later, mass production will be considered, and two special bullet production lines will be ordered from the United Kingdom or Germany at that time."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and many people showed disappointment on their faces, but Dai Li nodded frequently with a smile on his face, not knowing if he really understood or had other ideas.
After Zhou Junruo and Yang Jicheng whispered for a while, they turned to Zheng Yi and asked loudly: "Brother Xian, after inspecting your arsenal tomorrow, can you take out the two automatic rifles for us to try?" ”
Zheng Yi was annoyed in his heart, thinking to himself why didn't you fool take a long time, but there was still a kind smile on his face: "Since you have spoken, can I refuse your request?" But I'm afraid you won't be able to spare time tomorrow, so postpone it for two days. ”
"How could there be no time? Won't we be able to finish your arsenal tomorrow? Zhou Junruo asked inexplicably.
Zheng Yi could only patiently explain: "Isn't the main purpose of your inspection to bring back the design drawings, production process and testing molds of the M1929 submachine gun and the Mauser M1924 rifle?" ”
"Do you know how many design drawings of the M1929 submachine gun there are? There are more than 140 large and small design drawings in total, weighing more than 20 kilograms, not counting the experimental reports on production processes and raw materials that are more than 200 pages thick! ”
"If you don't have three days to check it seriously and then visit the relevant processing workshops, how can you master the production procedures and key technologies?"
"There is also the Mauser M1924 rifle drawings, which our dozen engineers and senior technicians spent nearly a month, using reverse mapping and referring to the design data of the Enfield rifle, summarized little by little, the relevant information is less than the M1924 submachine gun, but it is not less, you don't spend a few days to figure it out, can you take it back with confidence?"
"If Uncle Yu and the two officers of the Ordnance Industry Administration take a fancy to our Branson 1930 light machine gun, our self-designed weapons production line or some advanced processing machine tools, or the 60 mm and 81 mm mortars that we are about to put into production, I am afraid it will take more time and energy to understand it......
"Do you think you have time to shoot in such a situation?"
Everyone was stunned, especially Dai Li, who was on a secret mission, and several other officers in charge of the security work of the inspection team, who never thought that a mere submachine gun would be so exquisite, and they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of inferiority.
Fortunately, Zheng Yi was generous and open-minded, did not continue to talk about technical issues, picked up his wine glass, and toasted everyone again, which immediately alleviated the embarrassment of the scene and made the atmosphere relaxed again.
The two-hour banquet ended quickly.
Several British dignitaries and more than a dozen engineers and senior technicians left happily, and Zheng Yi and his son slowly left in three cars under the farewell of the members of the delegation led by Yu Feipeng.
After returning to the luxurious rooms upstairs, the members of the delegation were still full of praise for the high-level banquet and the grand luxury of the hotel, and many of them finally realized the profound strength of the Cheng family in Hong Kong through today's personal experience, and at the same time were full of hope for the upcoming visit and military-industrial cooperation.
Yu Feipeng, the head of the delegation, and Song Jiyao, the head of the Ordnance Industry Administration, were not as relaxed as the other members, and after returning to the luxury suite on the top floor, they washed their faces indiscriminately, and immediately got together to discuss in a low voice, and then instructed the adjutant to call Zhou Junruo and Yang Jicheng.
Song Jiyao made a cup of hot tea for Yu Feipeng, then sat down on the wide leather sofa on the side, sighed softly, and his eyes were full of emotion:
"I really didn't expect that the Far East Machinery Manufacturing Company, which is worth five million oceans, was established by Zheng Yi single-handedly, if it weren't for Brother Lanting's special explanation, I really can't believe that all this is true."
Yu Feipeng took a sip of the teacup, his face full of reminiscence: "When you were transferred to the Whampoa Military Academy as the chief of the ordnance department, Zheng Yi had already followed me to the quartermaster department, and it was understandable that you didn't understand Zheng Yi's ability." ”
"In fact, before this guy entered the Whampoa Military Academy, he had already served as the chief technician of the British Guangzhou Taikoo Shipyard, before the Eastern Crusade, the engine of the first transport ship purchased by the military academy broke down and could not run, it was he who led a few old technicians in the shipyard to repair it, and he obtained the first windfall as high as 100,000 or 200,000 pounds, which was also obtained through his own engine patent invention."
"I didn't expect Zheng Yi to have such profound mechanical knowledge, it's amazing!" Song Jiyao was full of admiration.
Yu Feipeng put down the teacup: "I'm afraid you don't know anything more powerful...... As far as I know, Brother Lan Ting did not give him a penny for this unruly second son, but with the help of this second son, in just three years, the wealth of the entire family has increased several times. ”
"A few years ago, Zheng Heng, the eldest son of the Feng family in Huangpu Beach and Brother Lanting, bought real estate in the Shanghai Concession, and it is said that the total amount has exceeded six million oceans, which shocked all walks of life in Shanghai and Nanjing, according to the principal's analysis, the initiator behind it is likely to be Zheng Yi."
"Because Zheng Yi stayed in the Huhai Concession during that time, the Zheng family also hurried over from Wuhan to meet after Zheng Yi arrived in Huhai."
Song Jiyao's face was full of shock: "Won't it?" Zheng Yi still has such a great ability in the business field? ”
Yu Feipeng sighed faintly: "He can transport millions worth of arms to Wuhan and sell them to the Gui Department under our noses, do you think he has the ability?" ”
