Chapter 354 Beginning with the Arms Deal

The black car with the military license plate removed trembled, and walked crookedly on the wide road from Nanchang County to Nanchang City, and the pedestrians and vehicles on both sides saw such a high-end car walking so hard, and were very curious, but the four men in the car who cut their small flat heads were not embarrassed at all, and they were still enjoying themselves.

"The clutch is stepped on to the end and then put on gear, otherwise the sound is hard to hear...... Yes, don't press the throttle too hard, go slowly, and take your time...... Yes, that's it, don't forget the steering wheel! ”

An Yi's mouth in the co-pilot's seat was dry, and Chen Mian, the deputy of the team, sat on the bridge from the time he left the city in Nanchang, and drove for twenty minutes, and he hadn't finished half of the fifteen kilometers.

Lin Yaodong, who was in the back seat, really didn't have confidence in Chen Mian's driving skills, so he scolded a few times and simply shut up, saving energy, Shen Fengdao kept an indifferent look, looking at the scenery outside the car comfortably, and didn't care.

The three of them followed An Yi into the city early in the morning to meet General Zhu Peide, Chen Mian said that he wanted to learn to drive, An Yi agreed to come down when he saw that there was enough time, and the result became what it is now.

However, Chen Mian's brain is flexible, his hands and feet are also nimble, and he slowly became familiar with it, and the car went much smoother.

Shen Fengdao looked at the dark gray literati robe on his body, and then looked at the silver-gray stand-up collar student uniform on An Yi's body, and felt very interesting, so he joked with Lin Yaodong beside him: "Xiao Jiu, you are quite energetic in this dress, like an obedient good student." ”

"Don't talk about it, I'm uncomfortable."

Lin Yaodong tugged at the black student uniform on his body: "I feel very uncomfortable wearing this dress again after wearing a military uniform, and it's not too hot for you to wear a robe." ”

Shen Fengdao didn't care: "Don't underestimate my clothes, this is specially given to me by Uncle Dao, made of fine ramie with a needle and a thread, and even the cloth buckle is very exquisite, it is expensive!" You don't know, do you? One can be replaced by three sets on you. ”

"Okay! I'll buy you a melon skin hat when I go to the city later, and I'll make it into a set. Lin Yaodong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his words amused An Yi in front of him.

When the car arrived at the south gate of Nanchang City, Chen Mian consciously stopped and changed to Lin Yaodong, who had good skills, to drive.

The brothers of the gendarmerie of the Third Army guarding the gate all knew the car with a big slap on the windshield, and when they saw the car coming, they all stood and saluted.

The car smoothly entered the city gate and drove into the city, and after a while, it came to a stop in front of the three-story building of the former Jiangxi Provincial Governor's Mansion.

Shen Fengdao got out of the car and tidied up the flowing robe on his body, took out a delicate long flat wooden box from the car, and followed An Yi up the steps of the gate.

The major at the gate already knew that An Yi was coming this morning, and when he saw the car stop, he strode up to greet him, and led An Yi and the two to Zhu Peide's office on the second floor with a salute and thoughtfulness.

Shen Fengdao handed over the wooden box to An Yi, and stayed in the living room in front to read the newspaper, An Yi and the major entered the spacious office in the room, Zhu Peide greeted An Yi and was not polite, took An Yi's security team preparation report and motioned An Yi to sit down, and after reading it quickly, he picked up a brush and signed his name on the report in duplicate, and after handing one of them to An Yi, he pointed to the wooden box on the wooden floor and asked:

"What's that? Give me a gift? ”

"Yes."

An Yi lifted the wooden box and put it on the wide desk and slowly opened it: "This is made by the brothers under the little nephew himself, I don't know if Uncle De likes it or not." ”

Zhu Peide saw the shiny flower machine gun in the box at a glance, looked at it carefully and immediately found something special, and hurriedly took it from An Yi's hand and looked at it carefully, and couldn't put it down:

"Beautiful! It's very handy, it's very different from the German and domestic imitations, and the barrel and magazine are also a lot longer, so it's estimated that the range is much farther...... This grip is much more comfortable, and the butt has been reduced a lot, making it more suitable for our small officers and soldiers...... Did you really do it yourself? ”

An Yi said with a smile: "The armory factory brothers imitated and improved, it has not been finalized for a month, the rifle bullet of 7.92 is shot, the magazine capacity is twenty-five rounds, there is a fast and slow machine, the effective range is 280 meters, and hitting the target from 400 meters away is also deadly, that is, the recoil is a little bigger, and the weight cannot be reduced, so it can only be built and groped, and slowly improved step by step."

You see...... It's just this magazine, we can't produce it in batches, and the special steel used in the spring also needs to be imported, and there are only five such sample guns in the little nephew so far, and today I picked one out to make a commemoration for Uncle De. ”

"How much does it cost to build a gun like this?"

Where did Zhu Peide not know the power and usefulness of this gun? Judging only from the fact that the gun can fire ordinary rifle rounds and the effective range of 280 meters, he knows the power and usefulness of this gun.

"If it can be mass-produced, the price will be reduced by more than 20 percent, and the profit will not exceed 150 oceans, which is at least 30 oceans cheaper than importing a German machine gun.

Through more than a month of various test firing of up to 10,000 rounds of ammunition, it has been proved that the fault of this gun is much lower than that of the original import, the accuracy of the bullet has been more than doubled after the replacement of the barrel and the firing bullet, and the addition of the safety device is not easy to misfire. In addition, a 50-round drum-shaped magazine is currently being developed, and it is believed that it will not be long before the difficulties can be overcome.

The little nephew plans to use this gun as a standard gun under his command, and Uncle De will take it out and try it one day and give some valuable advice. An Yi chuckled in a low voice.

Zhu Peide put down the gun lovingly, and suddenly frowned and looked at An Yi: "When will mass production start?" ”

"It is estimated that it will take about 60 to 80 days for Hans's rifling equipment and raw materials to arrive, and there is also a shortage of manpower in the little nephew ordnance office, which is being trained intensively, and the more than 100 brothers who have recovered one after another and the 150 brothers who came back earlier have just begun to replenish the factory, and the original 30 or so skilled brothers will have to train them for two months, and the little nephew outside will not dare to use them." An Yi did not hide it and told the truth.

Zhu Peide nodded with relief: "That's it, I'll go to the eastern suburbs in the afternoon to try this gun, as long as it reaches the level of the flower machine gun currently equipped, I will first order 1,200 pieces to equip my guard regiment, can you deliver it before the end of the year?" ”

"This ...... Uncle De, you have to leave some for your little nephew, right? An Yi looked very embarrassed.

"Go, go, your security team hasn't been wiped out yet, even if you form it tomorrow, you don't have to pull it out to fight right away, what are you anxious about?" Zhu Peide said non-negotiablely: "It turns out that you actually hid such a capable ordnance factory in Lao Nanchang, and you have been hiding it from me, not authentic!" When will you show me it? ”

An Yi hurriedly explained: "It's okay any day, the little nephew has just started, if you don't do anything, you can't do anything and come in a hurry to show off to Uncle De, and you won't let your old man scold him to death?" ”

Zhu Peide laughed, pointed at An Yi falsely, shook his head and said: "Your Uncle Dao said that you are proficient in machinery, have business geniuses, and have a belly full of ghost ideas, which is really true." Say, what do you want me to do for you? ”

An Yi pointed to the gun on the table, and asked in a low voice: "Confidentiality is enough, at least until it can be mass-produced, we have not marked the gun at present, and others do not know that we produced it, and if it is well kept secret, it is likely to receive miraculous results on the battlefield in the future, especially for charging and counter-charging." ”

"It's no problem at all, it's very simple, the current weapons systems of various ministries are chaotic, our high-level don't say it, no one below knows the origin of the gun, they will only think that it is a new foreign weapon." Zhu Peide suddenly thought of something, sat down slowly, and asked with a smile: "Your pharmaceutical factory has been capped, right?" ”

"Capped, high-efficiency boilers, generators, dryers, vacuum purification centrifuges, tablet presses and other pharmaceutical equipment are already on the way, early next month Mr. Ou Yaoting will personally come to Lao Nanchang, and at the same time bring several technicians."

An Yi knew that Zhu Peide was very optimistic about the future of the pharmaceutical factory, paused for a moment, and suggested: "Uncle De, are you interested in working in a pharmaceutical factory together?" ”

Zhu Peide was overjoyed in his heart, but he smiled calmly on his face: "I heard your Uncle Dao say that the entire factory has invested about 1.2 million yuan, Wanshou Palace has invested in more than 20 kinds of secret recipes, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Mr. Ou has invested in machinery and equipment and technology to account for 30% of the shares, and the remaining 40% is not much, are you willing to give it to me?" ”

"What did Uncle De say? If Uncle De is interested, the little nephew persuades Mr. Ou to give up a share, and the little nephew will share a share from the forty percent shares of all the brothers. An Yi said with a smile.

Zhu Peide was in high spirits, smiled and nodded again and again: "Okay!" Twenty percent is enough, tomorrow I will ask people to send cash to you Uncle Dao, and another one, I will also think of a way to use the original medicines such as notoginseng powder and saffron used in military special medicine, and I still have a lot of relatives and friends in Yunnan to rely on.

Some time ago, your Uncle Dao told me about the healing drugs secretly developed by the Medicine God Temple of Wanshou Palace, I think as long as it is made, how much is not enough, so many troops still have civilian needs, and the amount is very large, as well as the production of quinine drugs and injections introduced by Mr. Ou, I am afraid that these two alone can be said to be in the gold! ”

An Yi leaned forward and whispered: "Uncle De, you don't need to send money over, you just need to issue a decree to hand over a county town that is currently in chaos and Uncle De's Third Army has no foothold to be managed by the little nephew, and appoint a general under the command of the little nephew to serve as the county magistrate." ”

Zhu Peide looked at An Yi in surprise: "Oh? Which county, you say? ”

"Fengcheng, sixty-five kilometers to the south!" An Yi replied with a smile.

Zhu Peide was taken aback: "Now the county is occupied by the 47th Division of Fan Shisheng's 16th Army, Ye Ting and He Long's two armies left Nanchang and went south all the way to attack, and successively occupied Fuzhou, Fengcheng, Yingtan and other places, Fan Shisheng's department was ordered to go to southern Jiangxi from northern Guangdong to pursue and suppress, as a result, the rebel army was quickly transferred in two ways, Ye Ting and other troops suddenly withdrew from the Fuzhou line and went to the southeast, the target was the southern Fujian and Chaomei line, Fan Shisheng thus occupied Fengcheng, Yihuang, Chongren and other counties and towns, it is likely that its main force was not transferred to Hunan without Feng.

However, at present, the territory in northern Guangdong has been occupied by the two divisions of Qian Dajun of your Huangpu line, and Fan Shisheng is sure that there is no hope of returning to the army, how can he be willing to give up the line of southern Jiangxi that he has finally occupied?

Moreover, the local militia in Fengcheng is quite strong, whether the Red Army crosses the border or our revolutionary army is stationed in the city are frequently attacked, it is difficult to exercise rights in Fengcheng, which has always caused me a headache, so I promise you that it is very easy, and I also hope to take back Fengcheng This traffic to the south barrier, by you to manage it more reassuring to me, but now you have not recovered, what to take to occupy and defend it? ”

"Uncle De, please rest assured, it only takes a month, the little nephew will naturally do it, Fan Shisheng will leave, and several local big mine owners will be honest, when the time comes, only Uncle De will order a regiment of brothers to drive in and station for ten days and eight days, and then hand it over to the little nephew's security group to take over, and the little nephew will definitely protect the territory and the people, and pay taxes to Uncle De on time every month." An Yi smiled confidently.

Zhu Peide seemed to see An Yi's plan clearly, and stood up with a smile: "Okay!" I promised! I don't care what you do, and you don't have to pay any taxes, those tungsten mines will be left for you to operate well, as a little help to recover, but you must not make the world known, otherwise I will be very passive, haha! ”

"Thank you, Uncle De!"

An Yi was overjoyed, stood up and bowed.

"That's it! Come with me to the Champion Building, the gentry of the city are waiting for you, you have to thank the people. ”

"Yes!"
