Chapter 501: From Fertilizer to Explosives

When news of the success of the weapon experiment reached the divisional headquarters, Fuming claimed that the destructive power of a chemical substance the size of a wine bottle could burn a grass within a radius of 80 meters, and that if such a weapon were to be used in actual combat, it would be able to inflict wide damage on the enemy by relying only on the high temperature flames. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is more impressive, this is just the effect of 500 grams of substance.

As soon as they thought of this, Yevlov and Yelentina instantly became infinitely curious about the bottle in Yang Mingzhi's hand, and they were very worried that this thing would suddenly explode and make all three of them go to the sky.

Seeing that Yang Mingzhi actually played with it in his hand very confidently, maybe this thing was not as terrifying as rumored? Besides, what exactly does fertilizer mean? Yerenkina made no secret of her lack of knowledge in this area, asking, "Since it is a chemical fertilizer, we can make it, so why don't we sprinkle it in the field." ”

"Let's make weapons! This substance is not actually mysterious, it is just ammonium nitrate. Yang Mingzhi pointed to the bottle and clarified its Russian noun.

"I still know that word." Yerenkina was a little surprised, because this was indeed nitrogen fertilizer. "It was the Germans who invented the technology to make ammonia in the first place, and the problem was solved with ammonia."

"That's true. I didn't expect you, a woman, to know this knowledge. Yang Mingzhi's surprise was written on his face, but the woman's next sentence also surprised him.

Her eyes sharpened again, and she said casually: "I didn't expect that this profound knowledge is also known to a Chinese." You're definitely someone special, and I'd love to have you tell me where you learned it. ”

You can't tell her I'm from the next century! Either you will be considered a fool or you will be considered a madman! Yang Mingzhi scratched his head stupidly, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, Yelenkina looked at it for a while and knew that this person also had something unspeakable, it was estimated that she was not interested in Chinese affairs, so her eyes softened.

"Forget it, let's go back to the division headquarters to discuss your assassination. There's a lot of business to do after that, so come with the fertilizer, and I'll see how the fertilizer is made into explosives. ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled, "Don't you believe that chemical fertilizers can also be turned into explosives?" ”

"Who knows, I'm not a chemistry expert!" The woman Nunu mouthed, "If you're a magician, you'd better show it to me, just like you did in Catfish Village." Fuming was boasting in the telegram, why didn't I believe it?! ”

"That's it! Our commissars have always believed in what the eyes see. Yevlov patted them on the shoulder, "Stop rapping, let's go back quickly." ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, telling the girls not to pull themselves. He walked with this bottle of fertilizer in a grand manner, as if he was carrying a bottle of wine! He knew that it was difficult for high-purity ammonium nitrate to be dried and sealed to undergo chemical reactions, and as Yergentina said, if the yield was huge, who could refuse this high-quality fertilizer?

As for the use of fertilizers in agriculture, in the current situation of the Soviet Union, they have never paid attention to the development of agriculture, and after 20 years of industrialization, agriculture is still in a backward stage. Yang Mingzhi estimated that there were not many factories in the entire Soviet Union that could produce nitrogen fertilizer, and most of the planting areas were still farming by traditional means, and the fertilizer was basically human and animal manure.

Entering the war years, I am afraid that these factories also stopped synthesizing fertilizers, and turned into military-industrial enterprises, which went all out to produce explosives and gunpowder.

……

When the group returned to the division headquarters, Yang Mingzhi saw the bread on the table, and his stomach roared reflexively.

Yerenkina was keenly aware of the discordant voice, and said with a little playfulness: "Hungry! Hurry up and sit down and grab a bite to eat! When you're rested, tell me how the prisoners of war mutinied. ”

"Okay! If you want to hear me, I'll say it! The testimony of my client is very important. Yang Mingzhi sat down, picked up the bread and nibbled on it. Seeing her husband gobbling up like this, star fruit is no longer reserved, and now her mind is a little dizzy, and the reason is that she is hungry without him.

Yang Mingzhi thought while eating, and there were division commanders and division political commissars sitting in front of him, and they looked at them meticulously, as if interrogating prisoners. When you think of the prisoners, what will happen to those prisoners of war in the future?

With Yerenkina's character, of course she will keep those who are willing to cooperate, and those who resist have already been shot. Now that there is another group of mutinies and escapes, and a handful of them have begun to use force against the soldiers, will there be people among the remaining tomahawks who are disguised as obedient and actually waiting for revenge?

After eating half full, Yang Mingzhi began to tell his story 1510.

He believed that his medal had revealed his identity, after all, tomahawks were not animals that could only work, and medals made of gold would inevitably become the target of public criticism. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but tell the truth: "Actually, I really hope that I don't always wear the medal on my chest, if I dress like an ordinary soldier, that group of people will not quickly pick up the tools at hand to retaliate." ”

"Medals are mandatory, and there are clear rules in this regard." Yevref patted his chest and explained.

Yerentina shook her head: "You yourself have a Tatar face, and the epaulettes and collar badges on your military uniform are probably also known to the enemy, and besides, aren't most of these prisoners of war captured by you?" ”

This sentence woke up Yang Mingzhi! "That's right! Basically, all the prisoners of war were captured by me personally, and my face was really unique, even if those prisoners of war couldn't remember what I looked like, there were only a few people in the entire army with an oriental face, and as an officer, I could count them on one hand. ”

"So they seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Yerentina couldn't help but turn the incident to the negative side: "This is a lesson! Thank goodness you weren't hurt! In this regard, you are at fault, and I am also at fault. ”

This woman unceremoniously accused Yang Mingzhi of bringing too few guards, and his wife was fighting with guns at critical moments. The selected guards have experienced a hundred battles, and there is a feat of female militiamen who sacrificed their lives to protect their superiors, so that no tragedy occurred.

But the problem was not the number of guards, but the prisoners were allowed to dig through the earth without handcuffs and shackles, with iron tools, which were enough to turn into cold weapons! The three militiamen who were wounded are the best proof of this. Too much trust in them leads to tragedy.

"I think the policy towards prisoners of war must be changed." Yerenkina said regretfully, "I overestimate my own ability, and I am afraid that many of these captives are collaborators. They had plotted an escape, and the perpetrators had already been shot. Now that they are openly assassinating, I think these prisoners of war should really be cleansed. ”

The word purge, Yang Mingzhi thought of the great purge.

Yang Mingzhi did not want the killing of the prisoners to happen, if the prisoners took violent actions, they would be shot, but this woman had to use the old methods of the Soviet Union, and God knows whether this was a purge or a murder immediately. As far as Mao Zi's self-proclaimed Third Rome is concerned, he must be ruthless.

"If we adopt cleaning methods, I am afraid that we will have to use a lot of manpower and material resources, which is undoubtedly a waste." Yang Mingzhi said, "Once you get annoyed, it is estimated that it will evolve into seeing that the captive is unhappy and give him the death penalty." ”

"Let her decide, it will definitely become like this." Yevlov looked at the woman and said without hesitation: "Now the situation is not the same as before, in principle, the superiors forbid us to torture prisoners, and many soldiers still punch and kick prisoners of war in private. The Gomel city party committee is stationed in the village, and although they do not intervene in the affairs of the army, they can easily pass information on to their superiors. What we did inappropriately, the front command will also know. ”

"Then investigate well!" Yerentina pinched her chin, "Now that Berekov's testimony is available, I will arrange for someone to interrogate when the soldiers bring back those who participated in the assassination but were not executed." ”

"That's all I can do." Yang Mingzhi nodded, then stretched lazily and asked, "It's afternoon, maybe I should go home and take a nap." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry." Yelenkina stopped Yang Mingzhi, she had only one purpose - to see how to turn fertilizer into explosives.

"Okay! Then call Rygushkov and experiment again this afternoon! Yang Mingzhi was in good spirits, and when he said this, he also wanted to know the feasibility of self-produced ammonium nitrate explosives.
