The heavy snow in the sky did not completely stop, and it always floated again when people wanted to go out, and it seemed that they didn't want everyone to have a good time.

The devils didn't continue to attack, it should be that the weather made them unusually uncomfortable, and it is estimated that they will not launch a large-scale attack in the next few months.

It is impossible to sweep, they killed a squadron of people before, and if they dare to come now, it is estimated that another squadron will have to die.

The little devil is not a fool, they will definitely not do this kind of loss-making business, not to mention that the Central Army seems to be a little ready to move now.

The second fat looked very sleepy, although he was lying on the ground with his eyes closed all the time, but he didn't seem to be able to sleep enough, so Li Feng was not ready to take it out for a walk.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Li Feng felt that he should go to his cheap sister to see how those orphans were doing.

Wu Xiaoshan took so much of her own money, no matter what, she could help the orphans find some places to live.

And she also became a shareholder in the previous work, the Eighth Route Army not only bought things from the people, but also sold things to the people, although they didn't make a lot of money, but they also had some economy, so they wouldn't sit all day long.

Even Wu Xiaoshan was a little eager to send the mats and straw sandals they bought to other villages and towns, so that they could make more money.

This is the kind of work that the Central Army is doing, and they are constantly developing the economy in the localities to accumulate wealth, so everyone earns a lot of money.

Originally, this is also a good thing, after the local economy is pulled up, the people will have money in their pockets, and life will be better.

But now in the war era, it doesn't matter if people in the army go to business, but if you forget the training and main duties of the army, then it will be a big problem.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these central armies is not very strong, because they have been making money before, how can they have the idea of fighting with devils to improve their combat effectiveness.

Li Feng learned from the experience of the Central Army, and he felt that we should not only engage in the local economy and ignore the strategic strength, after all, we are still fighting with the devils, and if we do not have a strong enough force, no matter how good the economic system is, it will be destroyed by the enemy.

Li Feng was going to use the money he earned to develop the military while engaging in the economy, so that a virtuous circle could be formed and the army of the Eighth Route Army would become stronger.

Now it's just a beautiful idea, and there are still great difficulties in implementing it, such as the problems they are encountering now, and there seem to be some problems with the machines in the arsenal.

Their arsenal is located in a mountain not far from Li Village, and in order to prevent it from being discovered by devils, not many people know the specific location of this arsenal until now.

Even the top cadre of the party branch like the old sister didn't know that Li Feng had only been there three times, and each time it was very hidden.

How did the machines in the arsenal come about?

The reason for this is simple, there was a group of Central Army who offended them before, and when they came to make amends, Li Feng put forward several conditions, including these dilapidated machines.

The people of the Central Army have never liked to engage in these things, and their weapons and ammunition can be allocated by their superiors, so they don't have to think about self-sufficiency at all, and they can think about how to please their superiors every day, and they can get promoted and make a fortune.

But the little fat man is different, according to the instructions of his superiors, each base area must be self-sufficient.

To put it bluntly, it is still the same old saying, although the sparrow is small, it must have all kinds of organs, and it cannot hold all strategic materials in the hands of others.

So Li Feng got three machines, all of which were left over from the previous warlords, although it may be a little worse to build guns and cannons, but it's better than not being able to build them!

However, now they are facing a very big problem, that is, because of the machine, the barrel produced is not up to standard.

"Li Feng, you have to think of a way to do this, you see that the rifling inside these barrels is not only too shallow, but also very rough, and it must be solved as soon as possible."

At present, the director of this arsenal is Zhang Guoqiang, and Li Feng specially asked his superiors to come over, so that he can better develop the arsenal in the Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan base areas.

The little fat man also picked up a barrel at this time, squinted his eyes and looked at the bright place, and found that the rifling inside was really too shallow, and it was estimated that it would be smoothed out after a few shots.

In addition, if the rifling is too rough, it will also affect the trajectory, which can make the battle extremely troublesome.

The quality of their steel is already much worse, and it is already Zhang Guoqiang who has exerted his greatest strength without exploding, and there is indeed a long way to go to ensure the stability of the bullet trajectory.

Erfat also picked up a gun barrel at this time to look at it carefully, and finally felt bored and threw it aside.

Li Feng looked at Er Fat and smiled helplessly, this stupid panda was reluctant to come out, who knew that after he came out, he would beg to follow.

There was no way, the two brothers were often together, so Li Feng simply brought him to the arsenal.

Putting down the barrel of the gun, a fat man pinched his chin and thought about it carefully, and finally said to Zhang Guoqiang in front of him:

"Do you think that's going to work? Let's grind it manually and grind the rifling, and I believe you can make these tools too.

Although manual rifling requires a lot of labor, this is the only way to do it now. ”

Zhang Guoqiang's face was full of helplessness, China's industrial base is still too poor, and it is not easy to have a three eastern provinces, but it is cheap for nothing, not to mention the industrial system in other places.

"That's all there is to it!"

The problem of the barrel is just a small problem that they have in their arsenal, and the bigger problem is the quality of the steel.

For example, the quality requirements for steel are very high for firing pins, and the firing pins produced by the arsenal broke after a few hits, resulting in the machine gunner not only having to carry bullets, but also many spare firing pins.

In addition, the manufacture of some of their other improvised grenades is also a big problem, such as where does gunpowder come from?

The method of making black powder is very simple, of which charcoal is easy to make, and sulfur and saltpeter can be a bit difficult to handle.

However, Li Feng thinks that these things are not a problem, the reason is very simple, that is, he is rich!

Recently, there have been several battles, and the troops have earned a lot of money, so it is okay to allocate more funds to the arsenal.

"Li Feng, the arsenal has been short of money recently, see if you can get me some more money."

In terms of funding, Zhang Guoqiang was indeed a little unable to open his mouth, after all, Li Feng had enough money to support them, and compared with the arsenals in other base areas, their funds were more than five times that of other arsenals.

"It's a bit of a hassle, after all, you need the funds you need, but you want some supplies...... You also know my sister's personality now...... She might be a little stingy......"
