"Thank you, thank you for your attention!" Compared with Tian Jianlong, Xue Kai was even more excited and couldn't help himself. Jiang Li's words were an affirmation of his achievements, and at the same time, he was also very excited that the guns he designed might make a major contribution to the Anti-Japanese War in the future. Originally, with the Japanese attack on Mukden, he was ready to let the design of this rifle sink into the sea, but now he finally has to waste his efforts.

Jiang Li signaled to the other party not to be nervous, it turns out that the Republic of China does have many talents, once these people are provided with enough platforms, their talents will never be inferior to foreigners. The 79 rifle produced by the historical Gongxian Arsenal has played a record of durability in international competitions, even exceeding that of the German Mauser 98. And the Xue Kai in front of him, if he hadn't brought it to the northwest, according to the original process in history, I am afraid it would have been buried.

"All that remains is the normal arrangement of affairs in the arsenal, and the most important thing at the moment, of course, is the resumption of the regular production of the arsenal, rifles, grenades, mortars, artillery, mines. After the arsenal is completed, it is possible to make a part of the steel bullets for the training of ordinary soldiers. ”

Jiang Li said, although steel bullets are not easy to store compared with copper bullets, and shooting accuracy and other aspects have a certain impact, but now not enough copper ore has been found, so the days must learn to be tight, compared to copper bullets, steel bullets are obviously a lot more worry-free in materials, the bullets made are directly used for training, and they do not need to be stored for too long, and they can also allow those soldiers who have not touched the gun, or have not touched the gun many times, to improve their marksmanship by a few grades. The effect of reducing the casualties of soldiers in actual combat is very large.

"Well, as for the resumption of production in the arsenal, all the lowly duties are already on the agenda. However, the humble position also has one or two thoughts, and he hopes that the military seat will not laugh when he says it. Chen Jingguo said politely.

"You guys, it's just too polite, the one outside, you don't have to put it in front of me, I'm all right. Everything is loose. Usually I can say one or two points, but in detail, I am not as good as you professionals, as the saying goes, everything is clear, everything is loose. If I really don't pay attention to what I said, you must correct it in time, and you can't just make mistakes and cause a waste of resources. Jiang Li said.

Chen Jingguo hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he didn't dare, "When I was in Mukden before. Some problems in the arsenal have been exposed, but the arsenal has already taken shape, and there is no way to change it for a while, and there is a lack of sufficient funds. Humble means to separate the gun factory, gun factory, grenade factory, mortar factory of the arsenal and form different departments. so as not to transport production resources. There was confusion when it was placed. ”

"Well, you have a point. You should draw up a plan for this matter first and show it to me as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, there's another point, about artillery, in addition to our existing mainstream mountain artillery. In addition to improving the field artillery, a certain number of small-caliber steel cannons were also needed at the company and platoon levels below, but the firing range was as far as possible from the grenadiers of the Japanese. THERE IS ALSO IN LARGE-CALIBER ARTILLERY, REINFORCED 105MM. THE PRODUCTION OF 150MM LIGHT HOWITZERS DOES NOT HAVE TO MAKE TOO MANY REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF RANGE AND POWER, BUT IT IS NECESSARY TO WORK LIGHTNESS, AND IT MUST BE ABLE TO BE EASILY PULLED AWAY WITH A FEW HORSES. ”

Jiang Li said that the current strength of the Republic of China army in artillery is undoubtedly very lacking, even Jiang Li's 45th Army, without the supply of hundreds of thousands of shells in Fengtian City, is now a grade worse than the Japanese army. The performance of those high-power, long-range artillery is good, but this also depends on the situation, in the Republic of China, a vast territory, a very poor transportation base, and a lack of means of transportation, it is extremely unwise to blindly pursue the high power, and the long range will cause the self-weight of the artillery to rise sharply.

On the contrary, part of the performance of the artillery is sacrificed in exchange for the relative lightness of the artillery transportation, so that it can be put on the battlefield more quickly and provide fire support to the ground troops in a timely manner. This is especially important for ground forces, which are seriously lacking in firepower. After all, in an artillery battle, there are not many cases where the shelling distance is simply contested.

"HUMILIATION HAS BEEN WRITTEN, BY THE WAY, SHOULD THE ARSENAL CONTINUE THE PRODUCTION OF 240MM MORTARS?" Chen Jingguo nodded seriously, the best may not be the most suitable, no matter how good the weapon is, there are times when it is not adaptable, this Jiang Li is from the perspective of practicality. IN THIS CASE, THE 240MM MORTAR GUN IS TOO BULKY. Relying on the current transportation conditions in the northwest, perhaps the war has already ended completely before the weapons have been transported to the battlefield.

"The experiment of large-caliber artillery can continue, but there is no need to carry out large-scale production, at the moment the 45th Army does not have the conditions to equip this kind of artillery, let's put it first, it's too wasteful of resources, and when the conditions are more relaxed, there is enough energy to launch this kind of large-caliber artillery."

Jiang Li said, although the power of large-caliber artillery is incomparable, but in the situation that the northwest is now facing, can it be expected to use horses to pull these cannons with more than 200 millimeters to the battlefield? THE TIME, MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SUCH A CANNON ARE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE DOZENS OF 105,150MM HOWITZERS.

When he came out of Jiang Li, Chen Jingguo also received nearly three million dollars in funds to increase the equipment needed for the arsenal. It can be regarded as the largest investment the arsenal has received since the soul of the old handsome.

Originally, Jiang Li also wanted to start the production of shoulder-fired bazookas, after all, for the Peanding tanks used by the Japanese in World War II, using bazookas can basically kill the other party with one shot. But when I thought that it was too early for the arsenal to even resume production, there was no need to be too anxious for a while, let's take my time, so many meanings have been issued in a row, and a lot of money has been invested, which is enough for Chen Jingguo and others to consume for a while.

"A hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, although this place in the northwest is a little desolate, it is also the beginning of a new life for the Fengtian Arsenal." Breathing in the cold air outside the house, Chen Jingguo couldn't help but sigh excitedly, like the previous Tibetan Yi, Chen Jingguo was also full of yearning for a future in the northwest at this time. All his hard work over the years has been invested in the arsenal, and watching the arsenal continue to grow is the happiest thing for Chen Jingguo.

"Xiao Xue, since the military seat has confessed, the matter of the semi-automatic rifle will be handed over to you in the future, but every once in a while, I will check the progress of your side, it is rare for the military seat to take it seriously, but don't live up to the trust of the military seat." Chen Jingguo patted Xue Kai's shoulder again.

Xue Kai nodded vigorously, he already had a set of immature drawings in his hand, when the Japanese army attacked Fengtian City, Xiang Kai was ready to destroy the drawings, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around, and things took a turn again. (To be continued.) )
