"Liaison Song, because I didn't know that you were a girl before, I didn't know that the boss would send you, so this residence, I have to wronged you for the time being, live with one of my sisters-in-law, and wait for me to send someone to clean up a house for you." Chen Xiu thought about it and spoke, there are really few women in the army, except for his health team, there are only Tang Ning and Xiao Wan.

"I'm sorry for Mr. Chen." Song Ying didn't say anything, in fact, as soon as she saw these newly built cement houses, she understood that everything here had just been built, and everything was made from scratch, but it was already surprising that there could be cement houses here, and she originally thought they were all adobe houses.

Chen Xiu nodded, "Ah Ning, you take Liaison Song to your sister-in-law's room, and then send someone to talk to your sister-in-law." ”

"Okay." Tang Ning should go down.

"Report!" A soldier knocked on the door, "There's a brigade telegram!" ”

"Bring it!" Tang Ning said excitedly, from the fall of Nanjing to the present, it has been more than half a month, and he has not heard the news of Tang Hu, and now, there is finally news, how can Tang Ning not be excited?

After Tang Ning took the telegram, he quickly looked at it and knew that Tang Hu was fine, and he was also much relieved.

And Song Ying on the side was surprised, by the way, no wonder she always felt strange, since it was a brigade, why was their brigade commander not there?

"How's your father-in-law?" Chen Xiu didn't specifically avoid Song Ying, after all, Tang Hu couldn't hide the fact that he wasn't in the Independent Brigade.

"It's okay, Brother Zhou is okay, they are in Xuzhou now, Brother Zhou's troops have been rebuilt again, and next, they will fight devils in Xuzhou!" Tang Ning replied, "I'm going to send someone to talk to my sister-in-law?" ”

"Well, there you go." Chen Xiu nodded and watched Tang Ning walk out.

"By the way, Chief Chen, why haven't you seen Brigade Commander Tang all the time?" Song Ying obviously also knew that the commander of the 15th Brigade was called Tang Hu.

"Didn't Liaison Song hear me? My father-in-law is now in Xuzhou. Chen Xiu smiled, "During the defense of Nanjing, he brought hundreds of brothers and stayed to fight devils. ”

"Huh?" Song Ying was surprised, you know, after she was sent as a liaison, she also went to check the 15th Independent Brigade, the record is not bad, although it is a miscellaneous army, it can be alive, holding the position and not taking a step back, the brigade commander also lost an arm, and now, I still wonder where the commander of the Independent Brigade went, where did I know, I stayed in Nanjing to fight devils, sighed slightly, and was glad that such a strong man was still alive. "No wonder I said, where did the commander of this independent brigade go, I see. But Brigade Commander Tang is disobeying orders by doing this, right? ”

Chen Xiu nodded, "He has to leave his life on the battlefield, what does it make if he disobeys his order or not?" ”

"That's right." Song Ying also shook her head helplessly, "Can Chief Chen take me to see the place where the gun is produced?" ”

"That's as it should be. Song liaison, please. Chen Xiu spoke.

"Thank you, Chief Chen." Song Ying also thanked her, according to reason, Chen Xiu can find someone to take her.

So, Chen Xiu took Song Ying to visit the arsenal, you know, the actual scale of the arsenal is different from the scale reported, these days, the workers of the arsenal and the steel plant have been recruited one after another, and gradually, they are also on the right track.

"Please." Chen Xiu invited Song Ying into a workshop, where a whole production line of Mauser 98K rifles was placed, and dozens of workers were already working here.

Song Ying saw the rifle production line for the first time, and when she saw the silver-white guns getting off the production line, her eyes were full of surprise, "Chief Chen, this gun, is this a good one?" ”

Chen Xiu nodded, "It's basically finished, and the final painting is still missing, the steel must be isolated from the air, otherwise, it will be easy to corrode and not beautiful." ”

Song Ying picked up a gun, picked it up, and aimed her left eye at the crosshairs, "What a good gun!" ”

"Liaison Song wants to test the gun?"

"Good!"

Chen Xiu took a gun from the painted gun frame, "Let's go?" ”

"Good!" Song Ying hadn't seen other arsenals, but here, it was clean and tidy, and the production speed was also fast, so after standing for ten minutes, she saw a gun get off the production line! According to this estimate, if this production line does not stop 24 hours a day, then the output of a day will be about 300 pieces! In one month, it can reach 9,000 pieces!

In fact, this speed is the speed that Chen Xiu deliberately slowed down, because the output reported by Chen Xiu is 6,000, that is, under normal circumstances, 200 can be produced, but in fact, the daily production is a little overtime, that is, in the case of working 12 hours a day, the daily output can reach 300.

Of course, Chen Xiu is also bullying Song Ying and doesn't understand this, otherwise, if you change an expert, you will know that the speed of Chen Xiu's production line is problematic.

It's not that Chen Xiu is unwilling to provide weapons to the national army, but Chen Xiu is afraid that he will only equip some people in the end! There is no way to estimate the seriousness of the corruption in the national army. Moreover, all armies are paid nothing! Chen Xiu didn't want these rifles that he had worked so hard to produce would end up being reduced to burning sticks, and he believed that he had personally delivered the guns to the troops.

Walking to the shooting range, someone had already changed the target paper.

Song Ying touched the brand-new rifle in her hand, the excitement in her heart, needless to mention, took the bullet from Chen Xiu's hand, and began to install the bullet and shoot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Chen Xiu narrowed his eyes, this Song Ying, although she is a woman, her marksmanship is good, and her strength is also good, judging from the degree of shaking of her shoulders, she is really a master.

After firing ten shots, Song Ying put down the gun excitedly, "Chief Chen, can you give me this gun?" ”

Chen Xiu shook his head helplessly, "Liaison Song, these guns are going to be put into storage, and when the time comes, they will be put on the books." ”

"So, can I buy one?" Song Ying was still reluctant to give up the gun in her hand, "I think this gun is related to me, otherwise, why did it come to me?" ”

Chen Xiu is really helpless, yes, it's not okay not to give it, "Since that's the case, then I can only give it to Liaison Song." ”

"Thank you, Chief Chen!" Song Ying smiled.

"Okay, does Liaison Song want to visit other places?" Chen Xiu smiled, he felt that the central government sent such a person to believe what he said, otherwise, he would definitely send an expert! In the eyes of the group of people above, Chen Yifu poured all his family wealth in exchange for the production line, and also agreed that he would sell the gun to the party-state at cost price, which was already very patriotic.

"Good!"

"Then let's go to the steel mill." Chen Xiu walked up first.

The steel plant was not too far from the rifle production line, about four or five hundred meters away.

Before I even walked in, I could already see billowing black smoke, and the temperature had obviously risen by several degrees.

"Hello sir!" The guards saw Chen Xiu and saluted.

"Good work!" Chen Xiu returned the salute, "Is Mr. Will in there?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Will and Mr. Sack are there!"

Chen Xiu nodded, he had persuaded Will and Sack to study the topic of waste heat power generation in the steel plant together, because one more person, one more strength. In fact, it's not too difficult in theory. But when it comes to operation, it requires more equipment and is more complicated.

Then, Chen Xiu took the two steel helmets from the soldiers, and handed one to Song Ying, "Liaison Song, put it on, for the sake of safety." ”

"Okay." Song Ying took it and put the steel helmet on her head.

She saw truckloads of iron ore being crushed and then poured into a huge blast furnace.

That blast furnace, red underneath, was all charcoal, and apparently, the temperature was very high.

Then, she saw molten iron again......

After visiting for more than ten minutes, Song Ying's entire face was printed red, "Chief Chen, this is really good!" In this way, we will have more guns, more iron! A more powerful industry! ”

Chen Xiu nodded, yes, isn't that what he did?
