At the signal of the old man, Pu Su pushed the wheelchair around the tank. This is the real military workshop.

This is a very spacious enclosed work room. In addition to the absence of electric furnaces, other milling machines, planers, lathes, drilling machines, hand grinding wheels, optical speculums (to observe the condition of the tube) and other equipment are available.

It's just that the inside is obviously not as busy as the workshop outside, and only a few workers are squeezing the rifling with tungsten carbide top cones.

This technique of making rifled tubes, invented by the Germans, was not widely available at the time. Because the barrel life can be multiplied, the military factories that have mastered the technology are also kept secret.

When Shafsky arrived, he asked Alyosha to make tea, and he and Pusu explained the situation.

This arsenal was founded in 1934 by Gu Ji and another old man's compatriot. And now that compatriot is gone, and he got the tanks and a lot of munitions outside.

Before his death, his compatriot's other identity was the commander of the "Iron Armor of the International Merchant Regiment" in the public concession.

He got the tank from the British.

Outside, speaking of this, the old man pointed to the south side of the closed workshop.

"There's an armored one on the dock outside!"

"It was also Molokov who got it from the merchant group."

Hearing this, Pu Su became interested in the Russian he had never met.

"He, how did he end up ......"

"He is a real Russian warrior, a hero."

Then the old man waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

"Since I took away a batch of rifles three months ago, I haven't gotten any material at all."

"We can only wait for the gas company and the water company in the concession. What pipe they order, we can redesign the drawings and transform what. ”

"It's too dangerous to have that spring mill outside order seamless steel pipes. You know, it's all over the place right now......"

When the old man said this, he raised his left hand and rolled it into a look glasses to cover his eyes, which meant that there were people peeping everywhere. From this action, it can be seen that although the old man is in a wheelchair, his mentality is good.

"Pu, you must know that the sales of our [Gong] brand springs are still good."

At this point, Shafsky laughed happily.

"[Gong] card?"

Pu Su remembered that he had seen several firearms engraved with the word "gong" in the border area.

Before, he was still puzzled, but he hadn't heard of the military factory that produced this brand, and the firearms were still very well made, and the level of transformation was very high.

I didn't expect it to be produced here.

"Yes, the [Gong] card. The springs we produce are now only supplied to train dealers and stations. The rest of the time, we made our own gun springs and firing pins, and Gu told us that many of your guns were broken and there were no parts to replace. ”

Pu Su knew that what he said about Gu was Gu Ji.

Judging from what the duke said, the production capacity here is congenitally insufficient, and it is controlled by the supply of materials in the first place. There is no electric furnace here, so only steel pipes can be imported, and steel pipes, especially seamless steel pipes, are absolutely scarce and sensitive materials.

And making steel yourself is completely unrealistic. An electric furnace with a capacity of one ton is also not something that is usually imagined.

Not to mention cooling and dust removal, it is impossible not to attract attention to the power consumption alone. Not to mention other methods, no matter how disguised and hidden, just a large chimney is enough to stand out.

The existing conditions can only rely on procurement to solve the material problem.

After a while, Alyosha brought hot tea. He took out a flat wine bottle from his inner pocket and poured some for his glass, and asked him if he wanted to have some, Pu Su smiled and shook his head.

He noticed that the old man, Shafsky, was still taking the teacup with only his left hand.

Lao Ren was not there before, and he went out while they were talking. Then he came in from outside, holding a cardboard box containing bacon and cigarettes from the Three Forts, as well as a few bottles of foreign wine.

This side should be closed management, maybe Lao Ren will come to send supplies every once in a while, no wonder he was not happy before.

After drinking tea, Shafsky said to take Pusu outside to have a look, and Alyosha went to the south wall and found a place to press it, and then the wall immediately flipped over. Judging from the edges that are exposed after being flipped, they are actually pure steel walls.

The all-steel wall that was flipped in was wrapped in half-round logs.

The side after going out is a real warehouse. Inside were stacked with rolls of "Philips" wire and finished springs that were already packed in crates.

It was only when I walked outside that Pu Su found that the entire factory was designed like this. It looks like an ordinary, even rudimentary, wooden warehouse.

At the foot is Zhaojiabang, and the river water is black and smelly. The water flows eastward, and it doesn't go far before it reaches the Huangpu River.

It seems to be a simple dock in front of it, and there is a hollow sound when you walk up, and Pu Su speculates that it should be laid with steel beams. There was not a single barge in sight on the river, and there was a red brick bungalow on the side of the pier.

Shafsky pouted, and Lao Ren walked diligently and pushed open the wooden door of the bungalow, and the armored car he said earlier was actually in the house.

In the bungalow, a Bren machine gun carrier lay quietly on the front of the river.

This is a small tracked armored vehicle. The reason why the car is called the "Bren Machine Gun Car" is because of the Bren light machine gun on the car.

With a length of 3.6 meters, a width of 2.1 meters, and a height of 1.6 meters, this armored vehicle is a very compact model.

When Pu Su stood on the side, the car lid happened to be on his chest, but it could carry six people, so it was also called a carrier car, but it must be very uncomfortable inside.

In addition to this tank, there are stacked machine gun bullet boxes in the room, and there are two sledgehammers.

Usually this armored car is hidden in this improvised brick house. If there is an enemy attack on the other side of the river, these two hammers should be used to smash the wall.

The single-layer erected brick surface shattered when struck.

Pu Su imagined that the enemy was attacking from the north and was blocked by tanks, and there was nothing he could do. So he planned to attack by crossing the river, but he saw the scene of the bungalow being turned into an armored vehicle......

If this place is discovered, will it be a blessing or a misfortune for the enemy......

The marina is connected. The factories next to it are all brick and tile workshops, and this kind of steel armored car can cover the breakthrough at any time as soon as it collides.

And the tanks inside can rely on thick steel plates and strong firepower to withstand the attack, break through the outer workshop and break through and merge with the armored vehicle.

Such a firepower configuration, even if the regular army comes, is useless as long as there is no anti-tank equipment. Under the guardianship of these two door gods, the number of people has lost its meaning.

Moreover, Lao Ren said that there are people on the left and right, including the other side of the river.

This is the place where Gu Ji has worked hard to operate.

From Pu Su's point of view, such an arrangement can only show that once it is leaked, in addition to the bloody battle to the end, the designer has not thought of any other way out at all.

Once the weapons workshop is exposed, it's not just the people who are here.

There are many people involved in processing raw materials, logistics and transportation, and daily inspections, so they should have prepared for the worst a long time ago.

It's theoretically safe here. Outside, there are patrols from their patrol room day and night, and they also spread their bags to inquire about sniffing in the dark.

These tasks are all in charge of the old people. After Gu Ji met him, he asked Pu Su not to underestimate him, saying that Lao Ren was actually very capable.

According to Gu Ji, Lao Ren's characteristic is that he is quite face-saving, and he also likes to talk big, don't expose it when he hears it, just cheer and encourage, and it's over......

Gu Ji will meet him again tonight, and the two still have important things to discuss.
