In the long conversation with Lu Yuan just now, Political Commissar Deng did not reveal this, after all, these are the most confidential things of the Red Army, and it is impossible for him to disclose them casually, not to mention that at that time, he was not sure whether this weapon-grade steel could really be refined immediately.

And now, he has to negotiate with Lu Yuancongxin about the construction of the arsenal.

Looking at Political Commissar Deng's slightly embarrassed appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but want to laugh, after all, he hid these things that he didn't want to reveal, and he already knew it, but he didn't ask.

"Of course I have no problem building an arsenal, but the arsenal must be produced in our Trojan County!" The road is far away.

"No, no, no!"

Political Commissar Deng vetoed: "When the guns and cannons are built, you can give them to you first, and I can make the decision, but if you let the arsenal be built in your defense area, this will not work......

"Yes, I have to say yes!"

Lei Ming Han Xiaolei Ding Shan cocked his chin proudly, and looked like he was sure of you: "Lu Yuan, this time we have machinery and technology, you only have steel, if you don't cooperate with us, you can build a house with steel bars at most or sell it to pay back, weapons can't be made at all - you don't have a choice, agree!" ”

Several people rattled and laughed, thinking that every time they had eaten deflated in Lu Yuan's hands before, this time they could stand on the upper hand and let Lu Yuan eat deflated once, they were simply happy in their hearts, and the back sockets of Le came out.

"Yes, you have the machines and the technology, and you have a lot of troops in your territory, so it stands to reason that I should have promised to leave the arsenal in your defense area...... But ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan's tone paused and said: "If I say that I have some drawings of the latest firearms obtained from foreign sources, and can produce semi-automatic rifles, machine guns with better firepower than the crooked Czechs—I wonder if you are interested in keeping the arsenal in our defense area according to my ideas?" ”

"Semi-automatic rifles? Is it any different from the guns we use today? ”

Political Commissar Deng frowned slightly and asked, Lei Ming Han Xiaolei and the others also pricked up their ears and listened, Agnes and Snow looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, after all, the latest firearm drawings have always been a secret among secrets, every country will regard it as a treasure, but Lu Yuan can get it, they can't believe that Lu Yuan actually has so much energy.

In fact, Lu Yuan doesn't have any drawings, but as a former special soldier, his knowledge and familiarity with firearms has reached an astonishing level, it can be said that even with his eyes closed, he can disassemble a gun into pieces and reassemble it in tens of seconds, and he knows the size and even weight of each part well.

In this case, to draw a drawing of a firearm, it is extremely simple.

Naturally, he would not tell anyone about this, but directly began to explain to everyone what is the difference between semi-automatic rifles and the rifles that are commonly equipped now.

Now the rifles commonly equipped are bolt rifles, need to pull the bolt to complete the bullet into the chamber in a manual way, and pull the bolt to exit the cartridge case after shooting, because each bullet loading is carried out in a manual way, this kind of rifle refers to a single shot, can only attack and defend with intensive shooting on the battlefield, and the interval between no shots is longer.

After the bullet is fired, the semi-automatic rifle can use part of the gunpowder gas and recoil to unload the cartridge case, automatically reload the bullet, and prepare to shoot again, and shoot a bullet every time the trigger is pulled, directly until the bullet is exhausted.

Compared with bolt-action rifles, the action of pulling the bolt to load and exiting the cartridge case is omitted, which greatly maintains the continuity of firepower.

In fact, in addition to semi-automatic rifles, Lu Yuan also has drawings of automatic rifles, but he does not plan to build automatic rifles now, which has nothing to do with the fact that the weapon is too advanced, mainly because the automatic rifle can burst through to the end as soon as the trigger is pulled, not only the recoil is too large and affects the accuracy, but the consumption of ammunition is also too large, and there is no long-term reserve, which is simply unbearable.

Semi-automatic rifles are now in the trial production stage in the United States, and after the outbreak of World War II, a large number of them will be put into the troops, and the Japanese army cannot defeat the American army, which has a lot to do with the gap in weapons.

It can be said that the semi-automatic rifle retains the long range and high accuracy of the bolt-action rifle to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can control the consumption of ammunition to a certain extent, which can be said to be the most suitable for the guns equipped now.

"Obediently, doesn't that mean that with the gun you said, the little devil can shoot four or five shots with one shot?"

Listening to Lu Yuan's description, Lei Ming and others, Xu Yun, Wang Ma Gong and others, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers and militia of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment were all excited and their eyes lit up, equipped with such guns against the Japanese army, it was Chiguoguo's firepower!

They had long been fed up with the grievances of being suppressed by the Japanese firepower, and the thought of being able to completely overwhelm the Japanese army in firepower made everyone excited and eager to immediately equip themselves with such guns and then fight with the little devils.

"Lu Yuan, is what you said true?"

Political Commissar Deng trembled with excitement, he was sure that if such guns were manufactured and equipped in large quantities to the troops, the situation of the war would be reversed in an instant!

"Chief Deng, do you think I'm going to joke about the fate of the nation?"

Lu Yuan Zhengse said, the Japanese invasion is the most humiliating part of the history of the Chinese nation, and now it is possible to rewrite this history, how can he joke about this kind of thing?

Political Commissar Deng clenched his fists tightly, and it took a while to calm himself down, and said: "You give me a little time, and I will report what you said to the Central Committee - you wait for my good news!" ”

"Well, I'll wait for you—and I'm sure I won't let you down when the time comes!" Lu Yuan nodded heavily.

Political Commissar Deng took people away almost all the time, he wanted to report the news to Yan'an immediately, ask the central government to decide, and at the same time secretly made up his mind in his heart that even if the central government was against it, he would do his best to persuade him!

Lei Ming volunteered to stay with Snow and Agnes to prepare for an interview in Trojan Horse County, and he served as a guide.

"This guy, I think it's fake to be a guide, it's almost the same to go to our county to eat and drink in the open!" Xu Yun said stupidly, extremely dissatisfied with Lei Ming's always being far away from the road.

However, Wang Ma Pole Cow Pimple and the others snickered again and again, and said in their hearts that this thunder madman was afraid that he had taken a fancy to that Agnes, and his small eyes were sparkling and trying to get close to the person, and he was uneasy and kind!

Lu Yuan didn't care about this, called Pan Haodi over, and told him to pay attention to rest, and at the same time, while refining weapon-grade steel, give priority to refining some ordinary steel bars and the like, and build the county seat of Muma County and the houses of the people first, which is the right thing.

The manufacture of firearms is by no means overnight, but the construction of the county seat is imminent.
