In March, Jinan Railway Station was lit up with lights and flags. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 On this day, Ge Yunfei, Song Shiyuan and other dignitaries went to the station to welcome the arrival of Yunnan overseer Cai Yi and his deployment. On the platform, there are many military and police officers, and they are heavily guarded. Everyone looked south, joy and anticipation blooming on their faces. Yunnan overseer Cai Yi personally led his troops to Shandong to participate in the war, which was not only a great encouragement to the Shandong army and people, but also showed that this was an obvious super signal, and the awakening of the domestic people was unstoppable.

While waiting, Shan Feng, the director of the intelligence bureau, said: "Commander, the three divisions of Cai Supervisor's army will advance to Gaomi through Taierzhuang and participate in the attack on the southern front according to the deployment headquarters. At present, the weapons, ammunition, and war materials provided for the reinforcements have been transported to Gaomi. Song Shiyuan said: "General Cai's righteous act represents the voice of the people of the whole country, and the days of fighting alone are over." Facts have proved that we are not rebellious, this sacred land is the hope of the nation! Everyone couldn't help but praise when they heard it.

In the distance, a train whistle was heard, and the crowd stopped making noise. The train slowly entered the station and stopped on the platform, and the door of the middle carriage opened, only to see a handsome, bespectacled general, walking off the train surrounded by deployment. Ge Yunfei hurriedly stepped forward, and the two sides saluted each other. "Welcome General Cai to the front line of resistance against Japan, Ge, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Shandong Independent Column, expressed his high respect for General Cai's righteous deeds." "Commander Ge, I'm ashamed, I can't afford to pay respect." The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and there was a great sense of seeing each other and hating each other.

Subsequently, the two of them each introduced the attaché around them, and then drove to the general's mansion, where Ge Yunfei set up a banquet for Cai Ye to wash the dust. During the banquet, Cai Ye stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Commander Ge relied on his own strength to block the crazy attack of the Japanese army and create a miracle in military history. Commander Ge's patriotism, courage and iron backbone have awakened millions of people. Cai is not talented, he is willing to follow Commander Ge's blood-stained battlefield, and the horse leather shroud! "General Cai has an overreputation, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, this is my mission!"

Ge Yunfei looked at Cai Ye and secretly thought in his heart: the original history, Cai Ye will come to the end of his life in November this year. There are many theories about the cause of his death. Some people say that he has long had tuberculosis and has been in poor health. Some people say that he forgot to sleep and eat hard, and in the process of opposing Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor, he has been tired of running. Due to geographical differences and climatic reasons, the transition from the dry north to the warm and humid south led to extreme fatigue and finally led to terminal illness.

However, looking at Cai Ye's face, there was no redness on his cheeks, which did not look like he had symptoms of tuberculosis. And tuberculosis is easily contagious, but his family and deployment have no record of tuberculosis. Some people say that he had throat cancer, and others say that he went to Japan for treatment and was murdered by the Japanese. In short, the cause of Cai's death has always been a mystery. "Commander Ge, is there something wrong with me?" Seeing that Ge Yunfei had been looking at him, Cai Ye couldn't help but be confused. Ge Yunfei came to his senses when he heard this and said, "General Cai, I heard that your body is itchy?" ”

"Commander Ge is worthy of his fiery eyes, he really can't hide it, some time ago, he occasionally felt a cold and often had a low-grade fever, but it's not a big problem!" "General Cai, the big war is coming, as a commanding general, you must have a strong body, tomorrow I will personally accompany you to the field hospital for a physical examination, this is an order." At the beginning of the year, the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research of the University of Jinan, according to Ge Yunfei's suggestion, developed penicillin after half a year of repeated tests. The effect of this drug on the battlefield is very significant, and the number of wounded who are disabled and killed by infection has decreased by 70% through the clinical application of penicillin.

At present, penicillin drugs are strictly confidential, and the outside world does not know that penicillin, which shocked the world, was the first to come out in China. The next day, under Ge Yunfei's intransigence, Cai Ye had no choice but to go to the field hospital for a full body examination. A highly skilled German doctor served as the head doctor, and the final examination results showed that Cai Ye had chronic pneumonia. Ge Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and ordered Cai Ye to be hospitalized immediately. In order not to make Cai Ye lonely, during his hospitalization, Ge Yunfei arranged for Cai Ye to inspect the artillery factory, aircraft factory, and light weapons factory.

The gun factory is located in the town of Sixteen Mile River in the south of the city, and the black car is parked in front of the gun factory. The tall fence and power grid indicate the difference of the gun factory. When the car was routinely inspected in front of the door, Cai Yi sighed: "Commander Ge, it's unimaginable that you actually have your own artillery factory, and no one in the country can do it to such an extent!" "As the saying goes, things are done by people, and the key is whether you have the perseverance to do it. If you are not afraid that you can't do it, you are afraid that you can't think of it, and if you don't have conditions, you must create conditions. Opportunity always favors those who are prepared, and frankly it will take a lot of trouble for this artillery factory to be built. “

Ge Yunfei started from Song Shiyuan's tenure as the prefect of Zibo, how to skillfully build the prototype of the gun factory. How to use Yuan Shikai to formally prepare for the construction of the artillery factory, how to develop the artillery factory without hiding from the outside world, and so on. Although Ge Yunfei said it lightly, the difficulty of it cannot be understood by outsiders. At present, all the parts and components of the cannons produced by this gun factory are produced in-house. Among them, the special steel used in the most critical artillery is also smelted by itself through countless tests. There are small steel-making boilers in the gunworks.

Ge Yunfei accompanied Cai Ye to visit and introduced: "Brother Cai, it's not me who brags, all the processes of the cannon factory are all operated on the assembly line, this production method is currently the most advanced production method in the world, he ensures the quality of the cannon, and also greatly reduces the defective products." Regarding the unheard of new terms that came out of Ge Yunfei's mouth, Cai Ye seemed to be listening to the book of heaven, and he couldn't even ask questions. Along the way, Ge Yunfei talked eloquently, and Cai Yi nodded frequently.

Walking into the assembly workshop, several doors of 105 mm have revealed their mighty bodies. Cai Ye walked to a cannon and touched the thick cannon pipe with his hand: "Commander Ge, what are the pipes on these sides for?" "These two tubes play the role of slipways, and the barrels slide backward to slow down the recoil during shelling, which can increase the accuracy of the gun. This 105 mm howitzer is based on the German Kroeber 105 mm gun, and has been improved and redesigned. It took us two years to finally develop it. ”

"So this cannon has hunted troops?" "An artillery regiment has been installed, and an artillery regiment will be equipped by the end of this month." "Commander Ge, artillery is the god of war, with such a sharp weapon in hand, see how long the Japanese army can be arrogant." Cai Yi stroked the cannon with his hand, and his expression was extremely excited. On the same day, Ge Yunfei accompanied Cai Ye to visit the light weapons arsenal and fighter aircraft factory. During a visit to the Ordnance Research Institute, two types of firearms that had never been seen before aroused Cai Ye's great interest.

Ge Yunfei walked up to a model of a firearm and introduced, "Brother Cai, this gun is called a light machine gun. Since heavy machine guns are too bulky and heavy, they are suitable for defensive operations, whereas light machine guns, as the name suggests, are lightweight and suitable for offensive operations. The gun is fed by magazines, each of which is loaded with 20 rounds. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the barrel of this light machine gun can be replaced, about 200 rounds of ammunition are fired, and the barrel is changed every time. As a soldier, Cai Ye immediately realized the huge effect of this new machine gun and said: "Commander Ge, I'm sure this light machine gun has never appeared in the world. ”

Cai Ye is not wrong, the Czech Arsenal was only developed in 1924, and this light machine gun is almost a copy of the Czech style, but the magazine of the Czech-made light machine gun is mounted on the upper part, which affects the shooter's sight. The magazine of this gun is mounted underneath, which solves the problem of the shooter's line of sight very well. "Commander Ge, when will this gun be available for the troops?" "If it goes well, it can be equipped next year. At present, this light machine gun has produced a sample gun, but various indicators are not satisfactory and need to be improved repeatedly. ”

"Commander Ge, you are not only a military wizard, but also a master of ghosts, no wonder Yuan Shikai is afraid of you. Now I have a better understanding of your confidence in defeating the Japanese army, and I believe that China will be able to stand out from the crowd with you! Cai Yi's blood was spurting. Ge Yunfei smiled and walked up to another new firearm and said, "Brother Cai, this gun is called a submachine gun, and it was designed by a German designer in the Ordnance Research Institute. "This submachine gun is basically a copy of the German-made MP40 submachine gun, in fact, this is Ge Yunfei's idea, designed by the Germans.

"Submachine guns? How is there no butt! Cai's eyes widened in surprise. A submachine gun, as the name suggests, is an offensive firearm, the gun uses an iron butt with a bullet caliber of 5, 56 mm. With a range of 300 meters, it can fire single shots or burst shots, and the magazine is loaded with 25 rounds, making it ideal for melee combat. "There is no doubt that two of the world's famous guns were the first to come out in China, which means that it is self-evident. Ge Yunfei's carefully built weapons industry has reached the stage of blowout.

Cai Ye seemed to be overexcited, and fell silent instead. Ge Yunfei continued: "This gun is very difficult to manufacture, if it goes well, it can be installed in the army the year after tomorrow." Firearms must be able to withstand combat in all kinds of harsh environments, so they must be carefully crafted. Now that we have developed a new type of firearm, we must show it to the world with the best quality and the best performance. Frankly speaking, our development of new weapons is also a process of comprehensively improving the capacity and level of industrial manufacturing. We must not only absorb the imported technology efficiently, but also comprehensively absorb it into our own technology. The Chinese nation is the best nation, and we are no worse than anyone else. “

"Commander Ge taught me a vivid lesson, the Chinese used to sit in the well and watch the sky, and the night was arrogant, when the foreigners' guns opened the country, they were arrogant, and they regarded the foreigners as beasts of the flood and were willing to be slaves." "Brother Cai's words are incisive, the corrupt Manchu dynasty has lost the self-confidence of the Chinese, and if you want to reshape the foundation of the Chinese nation, you must pass the test of iron and blood. History has given us the opportunity to redeem ourselves, and we must grasp it firmly, even if we are broken to pieces. “

Cai Yi said movingly: "Commander Ge, in Xia Mingzhi, the pawn of the original commander charged into battle. "Brother Cai, I heard Jiang Fangzhen say about your military talent. I am ready to make you the commander of the corps, and I am sure that you will not let me down! Ge Yunfei's butterfly effect changed Cai's fate.
