Chapter 48: Construction Engineer (Ask for Recommendations, Collections, and Requests)
Australia's weapons reserves are more than enough to meet the existing armed forces, but the consumption of ammunition is a bit large, whether it is army training or capturing aborigines, a certain amount of ammunition needs to be used, so the current ammunition reserves in the arsenal are quite insufficient.

At present, in terms of the industrial level of the Chang'an base, it is quite difficult to create modern weapons bullets, don't look at a small bullet, the technology contained here is not so easy to solve.
The ideal weapon is to make a flintlock pistol, and the rear-loading flintlock pistol is the easiest weapon to be restored after unanimous discussion among the members of the weapons leadership group, and it is relatively simple to manufacture no matter how bullets are made.
However, if you want to make a gun, you must have a qualified seamless steel pipe, which is not available in the Chang'an base, if it is according to the current wrought iron rolling method, but this method is a little troublesome, and it is necessary to return to the furnace to weld the gap to make the gun.
Speaking of this production process, the gun manufactured is actually not far away, that is, dozens of meters, compared with the bow and crossbow of the king of cold weapon shooting in the same period, it cannot be reached, but the power of the bow and crossbow is larger, and the general army will not be equipped on a large scale, only equipped with some bows and arrows.
In fact, it is not very difficult to make seamless steel pipes, as long as the steel smelter can get the steel out, the people of the military industrial team can make the gun, according to the words of the technical experts of the military industrial group, the seamless steel pipe is to pour the molten iron into the pressurized container, and then press it into the mold.
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, and most of the time you can only replace the machine by hand without complete supporting facilities.
It was in this situation, which was largely done by hand, that the first flintlock pistol of the military-industrial group was produced, which was tested by fire and had a range of 150 meters, although it could not be compared with modern semi-automatic rifles, but it was definitely of a high standard.
It is expected that by the beginning of July, we will be able to complete the refitting of the army, which is the report we submitted. Lu Yuan, the head of the military-industrial group, handed over a document to Xu Renguo.
The purpose of inviting Xu Renguo and Wang Tiezhu, two committee members, to come here today is to test the practicability of the new weapons and to hope that they will make valuable suggestions.
For a person like Xu Renguo who has touched a gun all his life, the flintlock pistol will not satisfy him with an antique weapon, if it weren't for the conditions, he would probably give a death order to the military industrial team, and he must make a rifle like a 38 big cover.
Under the demonstration of an army guy, reloading and shooting, regardless of accuracy, this gun is actually not bad.
Xu Renguo just held the gun in his hand and played with it for a while, and did not conduct a shooting experiment, and the shooting experiment was handed over to Wang Tiezhu.
"Well, it's not bad, but Xiao Lu, there is still room for improvement, such as the comfort and butt of this gun can be transformed, and you can't slow down the development of machine guns, this is a big killer on the battlefield, and the matter of artillery should also be taken to heart, our navy is waiting for your artillery equipment."
Wang Tiehammer first praised this opening, and then put forward a request to Lu Yuan, since the army's weapons have been developed, then the navy's must also speed up the progress, theoretically speaking, the navy has been carrying out missions for a long time, and the number of times it faces the enemy is greater than that of the army, so it must speed up the progress.
The navy is equipped with recoilless guns, although there is a certain amount of storage, but there will always be a day when they run out, starting from Wang Tiehammer's consideration, he feels that it is still necessary to equip the weapons that can be manufactured at the current stage, so that at least in the future training and combat will not be rusty.
Lao Wang's words, yes, the importance of the responsibilities of the military industrial team is very huge, you have to work hard, if you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, you can come directly to me and Lao Wang, and we will help you deal with it.
Even if Xu Renguo was dissatisfied with the weapons of the military industrial group, he still had to say something that should be encouraged, so this would encourage Lu Yuan and the others.
Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Renguo with some embarrassment, "Old Xu, there is indeed something that needs the help of you and Committee Member Wang, do you see that our military industrial team didn't report that the first batch of weapons would be delivered in early July, this weapon needs a place, and there is no concealment here at present, and many secrets are not guaranteed, do you see if you can get a house for us first." ”
There are not a few cases like the military industrial group, the team that does not have a house but has a simple shed is the current situation of the Chang'an base and the 51st district, each team has applied for the need to build a house, but there are so many manpower and materials, it is impossible to start construction at the same time, so this needs to queue up.
The military industrial group is located in District 51, not in the Chang'an base, and the platoon number is naturally more backward, so this will Lu Yuan see the opportunity, and hope that Xu Renguo and Wang Tiehammer can give a special case.
After thinking for a while, Xu Renguo replied, the situation of the military industrial group is a special case, after all, this is a military industrial unit, and many things need to be kept secret.
This situation was not unheard of in later generations, and the troops of various countries in later generations had their own engineering regiments, and the main responsibility of this army was to build some hidden military bases and fortifications, so he thought about it for a while and decided to discuss it with Wang Tiehammer.
"Lao Wang, how about you set up an engineer unit, the engineer unit can still support the place without military construction tasks, so that both sides can take care of it, what do you think?"
The entire Chang'an base is a construction site, and both civilian and military facilities need to be built, and with the engineering unit, the military facilities can be completed ahead of schedule.
"I think this proposal is good, it can be passed, and in addition, the military construction site also needs to be kept secret, and it is impossible to carry out all the construction units outside in the future, so there is no interest in secrecy at all."
Wang Tiezhu and Xu Renguo are both people who have been in the army, and their importance to military bases and other construction units is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.
These two have a galloping personality, as long as they decide something, they will complete it as quickly as possible, and they will never procrastinate, which is also a requirement for the military in essence for themselves, so everyone in the base basically knows this situation, and now it is basically certain that this thing has basically been done.
