In the office of Wang Guoqiang, the commander-in-chief of the field army, Liu Hua, the deputy director of the arsenal, Wang Guoqiang, and the main person in charge of each branch. A total of more than a dozen people gathered together and began to discuss the direction of the production of various weapons and ammunition in the next period of time, as well as the future development direction of the entire arsenal.

Seeing that all the people attending the meeting had arrived, Wang Guoqiang, the deputy director of the factory, said: "Report to the chief, the entire arsenal, all the branch directors and workshop leaders, according to your requirements, all are here." ”

"Hmm...."Liu Hua nodded. A pair of sharp eyes quickly glanced at the directors and persons in charge of more than a dozen branches in front of him. Liu Hua opened his mouth under the expectant gaze of everyone.

"Comrades, here, what I want to tell you is that from today onwards, the Fengtian Arsenal has officially been taken back by the Northeast Field Army of our Eighth Route Army from the hands of little devils. From now on, you no longer need to be a slave to the country and serve the little devils, here, as the supreme commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army, I would like to congratulate you..."

While speaking, under the leadership of Liu Hua, a burst of warm applause began to sound in the headquarters. And from the smiles on everyone's faces, Liu Hua can clearly feel that these senior engineers are excited at this moment.

As the applause slowly stopped, Liu Hua waved his hand and continued to speak to everyone: "Comrades, from today onwards, the entire Fengtian Arsenal will become an arsenal directly under the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army. If you have a certain understanding of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of our party, I welcome you to join our Eighth Route Army and join the Communist Party of China. Of course, these things, I don't go back and force them. At the same time, regardless of whether you decide to join our party or not, I hereby assure you that you will be treated equally, and our field army will also distribute all kinds of benefits and benefits in the arsenal as usual..."

Liu Hua's answer, in the first time, solved the concerns in everyone's hearts, so that everyone who participated in the meeting couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

This is because, for these high-level intellectuals, it is their primary task to use the knowledge in their heads to produce all kinds of weapons and ammunition and enhance their national defense strength. Involvement in various party disputes in the country is the thing that these intellectuals are most afraid of.

Seeing the atmosphere of the whole meeting, as his voice just fell, he immediately became relaxed. Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, then returned to the main point and asked everyone.

"Director Wang, you are the veteran of the entire Fengtian Arsenal, I think, you must have a very good understanding of the process of developing and producing semi-automatic rifles in the factory, and what I want to ask now is: What kind of understanding do you have for this semi-automatic rifle. At the same time, what do you think will be the status of semi-automatic rifles in future wars, and will there be a lot of room for use ...."

After a short period of thought, Wang Guoqiang said: "Chief, I am just an engineer engaged in the military industry, and I don't know much about war. However, judging from the performance of the Type 38 rifle produced in the factory, I can say with great certainty that on the battlefield, if one or two soldiers in an infantry squad are equipped with this semi-automatic rifle against an infantry squad that is only equipped with a Type 38 rifle, there will be only one result. That is, an infantry squad armed with semi-automatic rifles, which will definitely achieve the final victory. At the same time, whether in attack or defense, the semi-automatic rifle has both the characteristics of continuous fire of light machine guns, and at the same time has the shooting accuracy of rifles, so it can be said that it is a very good infantry weapon. ”

Wang Guoqiang's answer, although he did not directly answer his own question. However, from listening to his words, Liu Hua clearly saw that Wang Guoqiang in front of him was very optimistic about the use of semi-automatic rifles in future wars. Thinking of this, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke.

"Lao Wang, I very much agree with what you mean, semi-automatic rifles must have a very important position in future wars. In this case, I now order, Director Wang, that you should organize the elite forces in the arsenal in the shortest possible time and re-organize the research team of semi-automatic rifles. Then, I will give you a set of semi-automatic rifle production drawings, you must study this set of drawings in the shortest possible time, and carry out large-scale production...", "Yes, chief....chief, can you reveal what kind of rifle blueprints? Liu Hua's words immediately attracted Wang Guoqiang's attention, and his eyes immediately showed a hint of sharpness, and he asked expectantly.

"Hehe, when the time comes, you will know...."Liu Hua shook his head and replied with a mysterious expression.

At this moment, after mentioning semi-automatic rifles, Liu Hua's mind immediately thought of the semi-automatic rifle with the most equipment and the widest range in World War II, that is, the M1 semi-automatic rifle that the US Army will equip the troops with in half a year. Of course, at this moment, the production drawings that Liu Hua is talking about are undoubtedly the drawings of this set of M1 semi-automatic rifles.

And everyone wants to ask, where did Liu Hua, who has not had any contact with the United States, get the semi-automatic and weak equipment that the US Army has not yet carried out?

The answer is very simple, that is, in Liu Hua's mind. As a graduate student of national defense, he not only learned various tactics and several battles in history, but more importantly, he also had a very in-depth understanding of the drawings of various light weapons. As for the world-famous M1 semi-automatic rifle in World War II, Commander Liu Hua is even more familiar.

"Please rest assured that the task will be completed. As long as there are drawings, I guarantee that within a week, the serial production of this rifle will be carried out. Wang Guoqiang replied confidently.

"Very well, this matter is settled." Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and said. Immediately, he set his sights on the director of the light and heavy machine gun factory.

"Director Li, I don't say the performance of the little devil's crooked light machine gun, you know it. Therefore, from now on, the production of crooked light machine guns will be stopped immediately. According to the actual combat performance of various light machine guns on the battlefield, the Czech light machine gun is undoubtedly our first choice for future installation. However, I have one request, and that is to turn the barrel caliber of the Czech light machine gun into a 6.5 mm Type 38 rifle bullet. How, are there any problems? Liu Hua said decisively.

"Please rest assured, the Light and Heavy Machine Gun Factory guarantees the completion of the task ...."

"Of course, Director Wang, I also have a requirement for the production of semi-automatic rifles in the future, that is, to change the caliber of the barrel to 6.5 mm." Liu Hua continued to order.

And in Liu Hua's heart, the reason why the caliber of all light weapons was turned into 6.5 mm. On the one hand, it is convenient for the troops to be supplied on the battlefield in the future, and at the same time, in the case of lack of ammunition, it can also be captured directly on the battlefield. On the other hand, that is Liu Hua from later generations, who clearly knows that small-caliber bullets are the development trend of various weapon calibers in the future.

"Rest assured chief, as long as there are drawings for a complete set of semi-automatic rifles, changing the caliber of the rifle is not a particularly difficult thing. I promise that I will complete the task...."Regarding Liu Hua's new question, Wang Guoqiang also did not hesitate, and replied confidently.

Liu Hua nodded and continued to speak: "After the gun is finished, next, let's talk about the artillery." As far as I know, at present, because of the wide variety of artillery produced by the arsenal of various calibers, it has been impossible to keep up with the production. And according to the actual combat of combat units, only these types of artillery have the best performance on the battlefield. ”

"They are: 50 mm grenadiers for infantry support artillery below the company level, and 81 mm medium mortars for battalion support artillery. Regimental support firepower 75 mm mountain artillery. Divisional support firepower 75 mm field artillery. The column supported the fire of medium howitzers of 105 mm caliber. Field Army Index large-caliber 150-mm howitzer. Of course, the regimental support firepower 37 mm battle defense gun is also a good weapon against Japanese pillboxes and tanks. ”

As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Director Luo Hao, who was in charge of the artillery production of the arsenal, followed up and spoke.

"Chief, you mean that the future production direction of the artillery factory will be mainly on these artillery..."

"Yes, these are the types of artillery. My requirements are very simple, requiring the entire artillery factory to achieve a monthly production capacity of 300 grenadiers, 100 82-mm mortars, 36 75-mm mountain guns, 24 75-mm field guns, 12 105-mm howitzers, and 6 150-mm large-caliber howitzers. Of course, there is no doubt about shells for artillery of various calibers, the more the merrier. For the production of 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, I will hand over the production to the anti-aircraft artillery regiment. Director Luo, are there any questions? Liu Hua replied with an affirmative face. "Report chief, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, with the existing equipment and personnel in the factory, I promise to complete the task..."Luo Hao also did not have any questions, and replied confidently.

"Very well, down here is the anti-aircraft gun factory. The entire anti-aircraft artillery commander, except for the increase in the production of 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, other production tasks remained unchanged. ”

"Yes, Chief..."

Liu Hua nodded and continued to order to the deputy director of the tank factory in front of him.

"From now on, the tank factory will do its best to produce the Type 5 medium tank, and the production of the other two models of tanks will be stopped immediately. When the time comes, I will send the various tank steels captured by the various combat units, including the other two models of tanks, to the factory for remanufacturing in the shortest possible time. My requirements are very simple, in the case of sufficient raw materials, it must meet the standard of 50 vehicles per month. In addition, while organizing personnel to produce tanks, Director Song must organize a group of superb technicians to carry out the latest improvements and research on tanks. We will strive to develop a new type of tank with a performance of no less than a Type 5 medium tank, with the help of our own strength. ”

"Please rest assured that the tank factory will complete the task." In the face of Liu Hua's questions and orders, Deputy Director Song of the tank factory did not hesitate, and replied confidently.

"Well, the next thing is the aircraft factory. I know that the aircraft plant has been in a state of shutdown because of various raw materials. However, from now on, I will require the aircraft factory to be able to produce six aircraft per month. As for the raw materials for the production of aircraft, I will try to find them for everyone as much as possible. Of course, I believe that the various technicians of the aircraft plant have rich experience in the military industry. So, while we seek raw materials, we must not forget one sentence, which is to be as self-sufficient as possible. Because only in this way can our military industry continue to develop for a long time...."

A few days later, under the constraints of Wang Guoqiang, the deputy director of the arsenal, the arsenal immediately began to adjust its production direction. The whole arsenal, after a brief period of chaos, once again became orderly. However, Wang Guoqiang, as the deputy director of the arsenal, was not able to calm down.

Because at this moment, he was waiting for Commander Liu Hua with an expectant face to send him the production drawings of semi-automatic rifles. Finally, in his anxious waiting, Liu Hua came to the Fengtian Arsenal again. At this time, Liu Hua not only brought the production drawings of semi-automatic rifles, but also brought the production drawings of individual rocket launchers and cluster rocket launchers that were famous in later generations, but had simple production technology and easy operation.

Looking at the three sets of production drawings in front of him, not only the deputy director Wang Guoqiang, but also the faces of several other branch directors who were hurriedly called by Liu Hua also showed excited looks.

Finally, after half an hour of talking and researching, several engineers slowly reacted from the shock. Then, he walked up to Liu Hua with a smile on his face and said excitedly.

"Report the chief, although these three weapons have not yet been produced. However, judging by their performance presentations as well as our analysis. If these three weapons are successfully developed, I can guarantee that they will definitely be some of the best performing weapons in the world. In particular, the cluster design of cluster rocket artillery can be called a fatal blow to the enemy in field fortifications. And the rocket launcher also has a very fatal blow to all pillboxes and enemy tanks and armored vehicles within 300 meters. What's more, whether it's a cluster rocket launcher or a single rocket launcher, they are very light in weight and easy to operate..."

In the face of three weapons with excellent performance, the faces of several engineers were not only excited but excited. At the same time, Liu Hua, the commander who was able to obtain the production drawings of these three weapons, also showed a look of deep admiration.

After interrupting the few engineers who wanted to continue to praise, Liu Hua spoke: "Comrades, since everyone thinks that these three weapons will become a weapon with excellent performance, then we will give them separate orders now. My opinion is that this semi-automatic rifle is directly named 'China Type 1 Semi-Automatic Rifle'. The individual rocket launcher is also named 'China 1 individual rocket launcher'. As for the last rocket artillery, it was directly named 'China Type 1 Rocket Artillery'. I don't know if everyone has any different opinions on this. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, a burst of warm applause rang out in the office. Standing in front of Liu Hua, several factory directors who have always prided themselves as senior engineers couldn't help but show excited looks on their faces, and desperately carried out the failure to vent the excitement in their hearts.

"Chief, the name 'China' is good, I am the most populous country in the world, except for the four major inventions in history, there is no good creation of the French people. Now we are named after the word 'China', which is a good time to re-show our China. Therefore, I suggest that in the future, all the weapons researched and produced by the Fengtian Arsenal on its own should be named 'Zhonghua', and strive to produce a complete set of weapons of the 'Chinese standard.' Let the people of the country know that China also has its own military industry, and can also research and produce its own equipment.

"Okay, I agree with Director Wang. In the future, all weapons developed by the arsenal itself will be named after the word 'China'..."Liu Hua replied affirmatively.

A few minutes later, after the excited faces of several people slowly calmed down. Liu Hua looked at the factory directors in front of him, and then said with a serious face: "Comrades, you are all the best military talents of the Chinese nation. I won't say the importance of these three sets of drawings, and everyone knows it. Here, I have a request, these three sets of drawings, except for a few of you who know about them, must not let the fourth person know without the permission of the field army command, and the safety of the three sets of drawings must be absolutely guaranteed. In addition, I ask you to be sure to produce samples of the three weapons within a week. When the time comes, I will bring the political commissar and others to the arsenal in person to inspect these samples. ”

"Please rest assured, the chief, promise to complete the task..."Facing Liu Hua's question, the four of them replied without hesitation.

"Hmm..." received affirmative answers from several people, and Liu Hua's face immediately showed a smile. Then, facing a few people in front of him, he said with a smile on his face: "Comrades, here I promise you that as long as you can successfully complete the task, I, Liu Hua, promise here that I will personally ask the Party Central Committee for credit." ”

"Chief, don't worry. Those of us who have nothing else to do but Gao Completion. Now that we can re-serve our Chinese army, we will definitely work hard, please rest assured..."Several people were excited and assured with affirmative faces.
