Chapter 163: Ordering Arms
Liu Yun was also stunned, could it be that Zhang Guotao had an opinion about himself, but he didn't know each other in his life, and where did he get his opinion, there is only one explanation, he thinks that he is not his division commander, and he doesn't want to owe this favor, it seems that the discipline of the Red Army is indeed very strict, mainly because the leaders have strong self-discipline, it seems that Li Shengde and other leaders have washed the feet of the guards, and the legend is also true.
Zhang Guotao really didn't have an opinion on Liu Yun, on the contrary, he was very active with the other three people, continuing to discuss the people's situation around Sichuan, but saw his finger on the map, moving north inch by inch, although his face remained calm, but his expression was obviously tired and faintly anxious.
Liu Yun, who was carrying a warm kettle, only then did he react, these four big people seemed to be chatting about family life, but they were all negotiating in hidden language, no wonder sometimes they didn't even bother pouring water, but fortunately, Liu Yun was a person with no ambitions, and he was not interested in what he was talking about.
When Liu Cheng poured three or four rounds of tea, the talks finally ended, the four of them shook hands with each other like good friends, exchanged a few polite words, and prepared to go their separate ways, although with the IQ of Liu Daguan, he couldn't see what was negotiated, but he knew that everyone was smiling, and it could be seen that the result was still very satisfied, but Li and Zhang frowned slightly.
However, the Red Army in the overall situation, a slight loss, in the negotiation of a slight loss, is also expected, Liu Yun was about to send the four out of the house, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang glanced at him, said meaningfully, "Yicheng, after we leave, you have to treat us well, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, there are some things, you can also send some appropriately."
"There are some things", Liu Yun was also stunned, taking good things to entertain guests, but the traditional virtues of the people of western Sichuan, what to give? Silver dollars, cattle and sheep, or fruits? It's just that if these things are these things, there is no need for Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang to explain here, whether it refers to a large amount of grain and the like.
Grain is a good thing in any era, especially a large amount of grain, it is incomparably precious, the problem is that there are not many products in western Sichuan County, although it is the season of harvest soon, but if you want to give away a large number of them, the town will not be able to take out, if the quantity of 100 tons, what is the significance of the Red Army?
When Liu Yun was thinking wildly, Li Shengde and Zhang Guotao were still willing to accompany Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang to leave, and the group soon arrived at the airport in the town, and the number of onlookers instantly increased, and even reporters appeared, but Lao Jiang himself had already hid on the plane.
Li and Zhang have long since disappeared, and only Liu Xiang held an impromptu press conference, one highly praised the achievements of western Sichuan County, believing that this is a model for industrial salvation in recent years, and the other semi-openly declared that the war in Sichuan was coming to an end, and other counties and cities would come to learn from the experience of western Sichuan County.
When the reporter asked him whether he had reached a settlement agreement with the Red Army, Chairman Liu laughed and did not talk about it, and soon the news conference would be over, Liu Xiang told the reporter before boarding the plane that in view of the increasing population of western Sichuan County, he would mobilize a batch of grain from the interior to support the industrial construction of western Sichuan.
While the reporters were excited and noisy, Liu Yun was also stunned, so he borrowed the time to send Liu Xiang on the plane, and asked in a low voice the amount of grain, Liu Xiang replied that it was 10,000 tons, starting from Dujiangyan, taking the Wenchuan River upstream, and reaching Maoxian, and then how to use it, it doesn't matter.
Liu Yun looked at the group of planes that were leaving, and was speechless for a while, 10,000 tons of grain has exceeded the annual output of western Sichuan County, and it is needless to say how to use it, this is the food sent to the Red Army, perhaps it should be said that it is the cost of sending the Red Army to the north, it seems that the Sichuan Army and the Red Army have really reached a peace agreement.
The reporters had already flown away with Liu Xiang's group, but what made Liu Yun a little stunned was that some of the previous questions and answers seemed to be in a dream, and at the same time, Liu Xiang, a Sichuan warlord, was also proficient in media means, no worse than the big men of the 21st century.
When he was about to turn around to find Li Shengde and Zhang Guotao, Liu Yun found that these two people had already walked out of Shi Shiran, as if they had just returned from a tour of a small scenic spot.
Liu Yun is thinking hard, since the grain is already available, from Dujiangyan to Maoxian, it is said that it is not far away, even if the collection time is counted together, it will only look like ten days, so what is the "something" that Jiang and Liu said? Could it be medicine and cloth or something?
However, this guy only didn't think of munitions, in fact, Liu Yun is not entirely to blame, there is a steel plant in West Sichuan County, and there is no shortage of hydropower stations and machinery factories, but it will take a lot of time to turn these things into munitions, such as military technicians, and necessary machinery and equipment.
It wasn't until everyone returned to the villa that Li Shengde and Zhang Guotao were blunt, they urgently needed a batch of arms, and of course they didn't embarrass Liu Yun, clearly saying that this matter was acquiesced by Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang, that Liu Yun suddenly realized, the only strange thing is that they seemed to believe that he could provide arms.
It turned out that the problem was Zheng Yuanxing's body, Liu Yun once said that as long as Ochre and Zheng were willing to help him work, they could provide a large amount of arms, and then they did provide a batch of weapons free of charge, to a certain extent, this batch of weapons can be said to be the real fuse of the Wenchuan War.
After the decisive battle of Yingxiu Town, whether it was Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, or Li Shengde and Zhang Guotao, they all made great efforts to find the reason for the outbreak of the Wenchuan War, and finally found Liu Yun.
Of course, it cannot be said that the provision of weapons for free is deliberately framing the Red Army, but everyone has investigated it intentionally or unintentionally, but it is very strange to find that the weapons of the West Sichuan County Guard are not in short supply, and they are more sophisticated, compared to the elite troops of the Central Army, they have to be not bad, if they can't guess that someone can produce their own weapons, it is really stupid.
When Liu Yun heard this, he also smiled bitterly, no wonder Zhang Guotao had some vague opinions about him, his own little trick was indeed not on the stage, when he met these big shots, whether it was EQ or IQ, he was completely defeated, so he had to ask them directly about their order intentions.
Li and Zhang also smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but look at each other, Liu Yun was not wrong, they came to Sichuan West County to "order weapons", the problem is that they are really poor, if the Red Army has money, what kind of revolution will they make, fight local tyrants and divide the land, and it looks prosperous, all of which are done as a last resort.
Zhang Guotao looked very strong, when it came to buying weapons on credit, he tilted his head to the side intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Yun even found that this guy's face was red, but Li Shengde didn't care, as if he owed Liu Daguan, one or two copper plates, and said with a smile in his demeanor.
For the current situation of the Red Army, Liu Yun is very clear, in Ruijin, may be able to take out a little silver dollars, gold bars, or calligraphy and painting or something, although not much, at least there is still a little, at this time, it is really exhausted, it is really not money, there is a fate.
However, Liu Yun said this, it was just a pretext, what he was most afraid of was that the Red Army had just obtained a large number of weapons and ammunition from his hands, and in the blink of an eye, his head was hot, and he launched a new round of offensive in the city, which would be too contrary to his original intention, seeing that the Sino-Japanese decisive battle was about to break out in an all-round way, once the rear of Sichuan was disturbed, wouldn't it be convenient for the Japanese devils to invade China.
Liu Daguan didn't bother with money, but directly asked the two chairmen what weapons they wanted, and Li Zhang's eyes immediately lit up, and some greedily asked what can be made in West Sichuan County, such as G34 general-purpose machine guns, K98 German-style rifles, and 75mm infantry guns, etc.
These Liu Yun can be manufactured, but they are not suitable for the use of the Red Army, these weapons are either too heavy and inconvenient for long-distance transportation, once there is a scene of climbing snowy mountains and grasslands, it is simply a nightmare, or too expensive and difficult to maintain, or the demand for bullets is large, and the supply cannot keep up.
After careful consideration, Liu Yun told them about the particularity, and Li and Zhang immediately came to their senses, knowing that they were short-sighted, so they asked Liu Daguan to help the staff officers with the proportion of the purchased arms, after all, this guy was a consultant or director of several arsenals.
Liu Yun did not disappoint them, thinking that the most suitable weapon for the Red Army at present was the first Hanyang-made weapon produced in China, with a caliber of 7.92mm and a length of 955mm, and the length after adding a bayonet was close to that of a 38-type rifle, with a total weight of 3.2kg, a gauge range of 1800m, and a bullet muzzle velocity of 640 m/s.
The biggest advantage of this rifle is that it is simple and reliable, and the number is millions, since Zhang Zhidong set up the Hanyang Arsenal, nearly half a century, the large and small arsenals in China are producing it, and the quality of production is slightly better than the formal rifle, and Nanjing is pushing the formal, completely eliminating the Hanyang made, so it is quite convenient to replenish, and it can be used until 1937.
When Li and Zhang asked curiously, what weapons the Red Army used after 1937, Liu Yun smiled and did not answer, and looked at the planes and tanks not far away, which made everyone depressed.
Automatic weapons, when the first Czech light machine gun, accuracy is known as the sniper rifle in the machine gun, if it is not for the magazine reload is too small, only twenty or thirty rounds, it can be used in the 21st century, the biggest feature is the bullet problem, can be used with Hanyang rifle bullets.
As for the Makqin heavy machine gun being too cumbersome, of course, Liu Yun could redesign and simplify its parts through his brain, but it was still troublesome, but if Li and Zhang insisted, Liu Daguan had to compromise and strive to reduce the more than 100 kilograms of Makqin to 60 kilograms as much as possible.
As for the artillery fire column, except for 60mm and 82mm mortars, there is no better choice, anyone pulling hundreds or thousands of kilograms of cannons, climbing snowy mountains and grasslands, it is really a cold sweat, but since more than 100 kilograms of Makqin machine guns can be passed, then there is an artillery, which is the most suitable for the Red Army, it is the 92-type infantry gun of the little devil.
This multi-functional artillery can be used as field artillery, mountain artillery and mortar, caliber 70mm, total weight 212kg, with shield height 62cm, firing range 2788m, shell 3.8kg, simple structure, easy maintenance, and good concealment, easy transportation, especially suitable for use in complex terrain areas.
Of course, Liu Yun will not copy the original, but on the basis of the 92 infantry gun, slightly improved, renamed the 72 type infantry gun, caliber 72mm, total weight 182kg, with shield height 600mm, range 3500m, artillery shell 4.3kg, can also be used Japanese 70mm shell.
