Lao Jiang is in a good mood, but he also has some troubles.

Now he is almost awake to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, right? Uh, at least the royal sister beauty at home let him lie down for a short time last night, but there are conditions. The condition is that Song Meiling wants to work and wants a job that can reflect her value. Historically, after Sister Song married Lao Jiang, she served as the principal of the National Revolutionary Army School for the bereaved families. However, in this time and space, the principal of the bereaved school is Song Qingling, and now Sun Yat-sen is the "emperor", and this kind of work that is obviously done by the "queen" is of course Song Qingling.

What kind of job should I arrange for my wife? Lao Jiang thought about it, but felt that this matter, to be honest, was not easy to arrange. If you can't arrange it too far away from yourself, it's better to put it in the compound of the Military Commission. It's good to let her be a secretary to accompany her, but the secretary doesn't have a long, so it doesn't seem to reflect the value of his wife? But if you want to arrange a secretary general, to which department? War Department? No, she doesn't even understand the establishment of the army, how can this secretary general? The Admiralty is even more not, a bunch of Hokkien Yankees, who can't even understand what they say when they go in. The General Staff is also not successful, and the professional surname in that place is no worse than that of the War Department. Political...... That's quite suitable, but Xie Huisheng is against himself. In the end, only the Ministry of Armaments remained......

Ministry of Armaments. Thinking of this, Lao Jiang's eyebrows frowned unconsciously. Luo Yaoguo! This young man made him love and hate at the same time. He has the greatest credit for being able to have his current status, and he is also a great contributor to the fact that the party and the state can prosper as much as it is now. It's just that the officials of this pair of uncles and nephews have risen too fast, and their power is too great, and they ...... Now he is secretly hooking up with Bai Chongxi.

This matter was just reported to Chen Lifu to himself, and there are no secrets in the compound of the Military Commission. In a palm-sized place, there are a lot of people, and there is something that is clear to others with a light glance. Bai Chongxi rushed into the office of the Minister of Military Armaments with a sad face this morning, and when he came out an hour later, his face was smiling like a flower, this must have been attracted by the Luo family.

Otherwise...... Let Madame go to the Ministry of Armaments? Let her look at Luo Yaoguo. This Luo Yaoguo seems to be a little afraid of her? Well, that's it, the Ministry of Armaments is in charge of a lot of arsenals, and this thing requires economic acumen, and Madame's family is a big dealer, and there is a talent for this. Moreover, the Ministry of Armaments also often deals with foreigners, and Madame also has a diplomatic mind and is good at foreign languages, well, that's it.

Lao Jiang made up his mind, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately called Secretary General Chen Lifu to come: "Lifu, you help me to invite Luo Fuwen to come, and say that I want to discuss with him the issue of the equipment and establishment of the army division." ”

……

“…… According to the plan submitted by the General Staff Department, all divisions, brigades, and regiments of our future army divisions will be equipped with artillery, of which 36 Min-16 105mm light field howitzers will be selected for the division-affiliated artillery regiments, and a total of 40 Min-13 75mm mountain guns will be needed at the brigade and regimental levels. This year, only the Min-13 mountain cannon can be equipped in place. At present, there are nearly 800 types of guns and 13 guns in various artillery regiments and artillery battalions, which are basically assembled by our Shijing factory using imported cannon steel. The headquarters believes that artillery at the brigade and regimental levels can be assigned in place first. The Ishii Arsenal is now able to assemble the Min 16 using imported cannon steel, but the output is limited, and the monthly plan is to produce five guns, and 60 will be put into operation within the year. Next year, after the rolling workshop, forging workshop, and cold drawing workshop of the special steel plant of the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant are all put into operation, we will be able to produce the barrel steel of the 105mm light howitzer by ourselves. According to the plan, 700 civilian Type 16 light field howitzers will be produced next year, and by the end of next year we will be able to equip all 20 artillery regiments of the division in place......"

Luo Yaoguo sat opposite Lao Jiang, holding a document in his hand, and introduced to Lao Jiang what weapons and equipment the Ministry of Armaments could provide to the army.

After almost three years of intense construction and a huge investment of more than 40 million silver dollars, as well as the technical support of Soviet Russia, Krupp, and Rheinmetall, the first phase of the project of the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Company is nearing completion, and it will be fully completed by the end of the year. Gun steel that can produce light howitzers, although gun steel for heavy artillery and cannons still can't be produced, but it's not bad to have such results.

In another time and space, China will not be able to produce artillery steel for light artillery until 1931, and it is still in the Northeast Arsenal...... As a result, within a few days, the 9/18 incident occurred. Of course, the current gun barrel steel requirements are not high, such as the Min 16 type 105mm light field howitzer, which weighs less than 1.5 tons, 22 times the caliber, and has a range of about 9 kilometers, which is incomparable with the artillery after World War II.

Hearing that there will be hundreds of 105mm "heavy" guns next year, Lao Jiang was naturally overjoyed, and his heart was full of emotion, and this Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant and Shijing Arsenal also had his share of credit. I think it was he and Luo Yaoguo who went to Soviet Russia to "aid construction" together, and lived with the Cheka's bugging device for more than a month, and even slept with one eye open, for fear that he would leak his mouth when he said something in his dream. Lao Jiang smiled, and just wanted to open his mouth to praise a few words, but saw Luo Yaoguo take out a document from his briefcase, spread it on the table, and started to introduce it again.

"Jiegong, in addition to artillery, we should also pay enough attention to light weapons, such as light machine guns and grenadiers." Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly, and said in his heart that now [***] is really a fucking shotgun, and the machine gun is actually a light weapon.

"What...... Tube? Chiang Kai-shek shook his head stunned, I haven't heard of it, what is that? I don't know what it's loaded?

"Grenadier." Luo Yaoguo repeated it again, he flipped through the file, took out a sketch of the Taisho ten-year 50mm grenadier and handed it to Lao Jiang, and said with a smile: "This is the Taisho ten-year grenadier, which is a 50mm caliber ultra-light mortar. With a range of less than 200 meters, it weighs only 2.6 kg and fires a small grenade of 0.45 kg. The cost is also very cheap, and if you have energy, it is almost a quarter of that of a rifle. And this weapon poses a very big threat to enemy machine guns, and we should equip the troops with a lot of equipment. Then there's the light machine gun, which I don't have in my [***] team right now, and we don't have it now. The headquarters believes that in this reorganization of the troops, consideration should be given to the installation of light machine guns, and each infantry squad should have at least one. ”

Lao Jiang picked up the sketch of the grenadier on the table and studied it for a long time. This thing seems to be pretty good, it's cheap and lightweight, it's almost a cannon! It's just that the range is closer, and I'm afraid this target is also worse.

"The grenadier is studied by your armaments department again to see if it can be improved, and the most important thing is to see if it can increase the range and accuracy. Now that foreign countries have begun to equip light machine guns, we must also have them, but we must carefully consider what model we want to use, and we must also be able to produce them domestically. The caliber should be 7.62mm and the same as our rifle, so that the bullet can be universal. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Jiang glanced at Luo Yaoguo again, and said in his heart that it was almost time to tell his wife about her work. He put on a smile: "Brother Fuwen, you must have had a hard time taking over the work of the Armaments Department during this time, right?" Do you want me to find you a few helpers? ”

Helper? Luo Yaoguo was slightly stunned, his eyes glanced at Chen Lifu who was standing behind Lao Jiang, and said in his heart that this "old man" would not be able to be a spy leader in his life, and he would not be able to manage party affairs, right? It is estimated that he thought of the Ministry of Armaments to manage the mines. Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo also smiled: "The Ministry of Duties is indeed a little busy now, after all, the Ministry of Occupation is not studying industry, and it is a little tiring to manage such an armaments department, and I am trying to dig up a few people from Jiegong, please don't hold it back." As he spoke, he glanced at the suave Chen Lifu again, no matter how you look at it, he is not a spy, he is just an engineer!

Lao Jiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Fuwen, if you fancy the talent here in me, just open your mouth, the Armaments Department is now the 'darling' of our Military Commission, and you can ask for anyone." But there is also a person here who wants to get an errand from you, so don't refuse. ”

"It would be nice to have the phrase Jiegong." Luo Yaoguo was cheeky, pointed at Chen Lifu and said with a smile: "There is an urgent need for industrial talents here, especially in the mining industry. Now our Ministry of Armaments is in charge of a number of large mines of rare metals in South China, and we can count on these treasures in future transactions with the Germans. Why don't you let Brother Lifu be the director of the Mining Bureau? Luo Yaoguo is thinking about waiting for the future head of state to come to power, and exchange these treasures for good things with him, so now there is an urgent need for someone to grasp this work.

Bureau of Mines? Lao Jiang and Chen Lifu were happy at the same time, and Lao Jiang was happy that Luo Yaoguo took out a bureau chief to do it for his own people, which should be a gesture of goodwill to himself. Chen Lifu felt that he could learn and be useful, and he didn't have to bury himself in the copywriting work of the Military Commission all day long, to be honest, he was also a big layman in those military matters, and he made jokes all day long.

"There is no problem, Lifu's major is to study mining, and it is very suitable to be the director of the mining bureau. However, there is one more person I want to recommend to Brother Fuwen. Lao Jiang glanced at Luo Yaoguo and said with a smile: "Your armaments department doesn't have a secretary general now, right?" How about Brother Fool want Meiling to be your secretary general? ”

"What?" Luo Yaoguo almost suspected that Lao Jiang was making fun of himself and asked Sister Song Yu to be the secretary general of the Ministry of Armaments? That's too much of a joke, isn't it? But after thinking about it, in fact, it is not bad to let Sister Song come to the Ministry of Armaments, this eldest sister has done the errand of the secretary general of the Aviation Committee in history, and it seems that she has done a good job...... OK? More importantly, if he agreed to let Song Meiling be the secretary general of the Military Garrison Department, wouldn't it be tantamount to being labeled as a Jiang department? In the next few years, Lao Jiang's wariness of himself will be greatly reduced, which will help him develop his power in secret.

"Well, it's only fitting that a lady should come over and be the secretary general of the Ministry of Armaments." Luo Yaoguo smiled and agreed. Uh, well, I'm going to work with China's number one royal sister in the twentieth century
