Chapter 312: Self-Production of Ammunition (Part I)

Originally, Wang Guorui wanted to get through Guò Akashi Genjiro and let him incite Japan to start a war against Chinese mainland, so that Wang Guorui's Taiwan could also enter the mainland on the grounds of protecting his home and defending the country, and then he could completely rely on not taking the false road to cut down the people, so that once he controlled the Manchu government in Beijing, he could also blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then he could slowly clean up those guys at any time. However, this time the British are not stupid, so they actually sided with the Manchus this time, they neither want Taiwan to occupy China, nor do they want Japan to occupy China. As for the fact that if Taiwan and Japan fight on the mainland, then the Western powers are actually not very optimistic about Japan, so they do not want Japan to invade China and give Taiwan an excuse to enter the mainland. Although the mainland and Taiwan are currently enemies, once Japan attacks China and even expresses its intention to swallow China, then the mainland and Taiwan will become allies at this moment. Naturally, the Western countries do not want the mainland and Taiwan to become allies again, and that is trouble. Therefore, Western countries desperately prevented Japan from going to war against the Chinese mainland government, and Taiwan also lost an opportunity to enter the mainland.

However, Wang Guorui was not too disappointed, because Wang Guorui's number one traitor had formed an organization with the same idea in Japan, that is, the Imperial Dao faction. And this imperial sect believes in loyalty to the emperor, and then what they open and close their mouths is the emperor's power and authority, and this is the reason why it is called the imperial sect. And Akashi Genjiro is also the leader of the Imperial Road faction, originally Akashi Genjiro also humbly let Uehara Yusaku be the leader, but although Uehara Yusaku is more qualified, he deeply feels that he is much worse than Akashi Genjiro in terms of ideology and theory, so he took the initiative to back down and let Akashi Genjiro, a latecomer, become a leader. And Akashi Genjiro became the leader of a faction in the Japanese Army, and when the time came, this imperial faction was able to gradually rise under the leadership of Emperor Meiji. That is also an organization that can indirectly help Wang Guorui, after all, their leader Akashi Genjiro is Wang Guorui's number one traitor!

"Lord Wang, good news, our ammunition production factory has produced the first batch of ammunition!" Someone shouted.

"What? Will we be able to produce ammunition ourselves? Wang Guorui was surprised.

This is really good news, considering that the ammunition production plant has been established for two years, and this is the first time that ammunition has been produced. This made Wang Guorui so happy. Next, Wang Guorui immediately communicated with the guò red police system and ordered Tanya, who was still in Taiwan, to inspect the ammunition production plant instead of him, preparing to inspect the quality of the ammunition.

"Mrs. Tanya, our ammunition processing factory has been established for two years, and after a lot of hardships, we have finally produced ammunition. And we are now able to produce ammunition thanks to the wise leadership of Lord Wang, thanks to the ...... of Lord Wang, the director of the production plant is still constantly touting.

"Well, what you told me is also in vain. I'm not going to tell the commander anyway. Tanya snorted.

The director of the production plant was a little embarrassed, and he remembered that Wang Guorui's two foreign women didn't like bureaucrats. Tanya and Natasha's biggest personality in common is that they both don't like bureaucrats, so instead of feeling happy, she feels disgusted when she hears this praise. And for Tanya, listening to these bureaucrats, it is better to see how the bullets are being produced.

"All right, ma'am. Please go and see our ammunition! ”

Soon, Tanya grabbed a handful of yellow-orange-orange ammunition made of brass. Then I felt the weight of these munitions. So Tanya also nodded, feeling pretty good. And the weight error of these ammunition is also very small, ensuring that every bullet is fired with the same effect.

"Ma'am, our ammunition may seem small, but it is very technical. It is possible to produce rifles, but it is not necessarily possible to produce ammunition. Ammunition goes through a lot of processes. And it has to go through many kinds of industrial technology, which is not so simple. It can be said that being able to produce rifles is nothing, and being able to produce ammunition is the real strength. This represents the industrial level of a country, so you can imagine the difficulty in this! We are able to produce ammunition. It is enough to show that Taiwan's industrial system has a relatively complete industrial system, although it is nothing compared to the Western powers, but at least the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. At least it can achieve a roughly equal status with the Western powers in terms of military industry. ”

The director of this ammunition production plant is actually very embarrassed in his heart, because the production of this bullet is really not easy! Because don't look at a small bullet, but it contains a lot of technology and a lot of technical content. Many people think that they can produce bullets if they can produce firearms, but in this era, they find that it is not so easy to produce bullets. And this era is no longer the era of making bullets from paper. In this era, copper was used to make bullets, unlike a few decades ago when a few old ladies could use some brown paper to paste bullet casings one by one. If it was a few decades ago, it would have been easy to produce bullets, but in this era, bullets require a propellant, a fire cap, and all kinds of parts. And even the weight of the bullet is required to be kept improving, and the industrial technology content in this can be imagined.

In later generations, more than 100 countries were able to produce firearms, and almost every country was able to produce firearms. However, there are only more than 20 countries that can produce bullets, and all of them are large countries with a decisive position in the world. Bullets are divided into warheads, cartridge cases, propellants, and primers, but the production of each part is not simple. A small bullet is to involve non-ferrous metal mining, smelting, processing, manufacturing, as well as chemical, machinery, precision machining and countless other industries. And these industries are the basis of the industrial aspect. If the industrial base is not good, and there is no perfect industrial system, it will not be able to produce a qualified bullet at all.

That is to say, if you can produce bullets, it means that you are already a country or region that can have a relatively complete industrial system, and you have been able to be initially independent in terms of industry. Of course, for example, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, some parties used bullets to reload ammunition, which was only an opportunistic method, and it was not really able to produce.

And being able to produce bullets by itself already means that Taiwan has really had a preliminary industrial system in the industry. Although this is only basic, it is still a lot worse than the Western powers, but at least it can be regarded as a sparrow, although it is small, and it has all the organs. And in terms of the most basic bullets, they can also be produced. With these bullets, it means that Taiwan can embark on the path of normal development and will not rely on the Red Alert base.

Although the bullets provided by the Red Police Base are relatively cheap, Wang Guorui knows that he can't continue to rely on the Red Police Base. If you continue to rely on the Red Alert base, then I am afraid that if one day you are gone, then the country will still fall into a tragic fate. Although the bullets in the Red Police Base seem cheap, Wang Guorui can't give up the idea of producing his own bullets for the cheap bullets in the Red Police Base. It's like the so-called shipbuilding in later generations is better than buying a ship, but you must understand that buying a ship is for temporary use, and if you really want to be strong, you still have to "build a ship" yourself. If you blindly rely on buying, it is impossible to be truly powerful.

is like Ah San in later generations, although they have made airplanes, cannons and missiles every time they parade, but that one is for laymen. Although India claims to be a big country, it cannot even produce its own bullets, and India's bullets are imported from foreign countries. It is conceivable that the difficulty of modern bullet production is far from the paste-like paste. Therefore, it is already very difficult for Taiwan to be able to produce bullets. It represents that Taiwan's industrial system has initially been able to have a relatively perfect method, and there will not be a situation where it has been relying on the red alert base.

"How much do these bullets cost?" Tanya asked.

Hearing this question, the director of the bullet processing factory also turned red like a monkey's ass, obviously feeling very embarrassed. And Tanya saw this situation and understood what it meant.

"Madam, the production cost of these bullets is actually more expensive than the bullets imported by Lord Wang!" The factory director said helplessly.

If the production cost of this self-produced bullet is more expensive than Wang Guorui's purchase from the Red Police Base, this is also a helpless answer. Because Taiwan's industrial foundation is too weak, the www.biquge.info of Biquge is too low, and it has only gone through two years of development, and two years of development cannot really lay the foundation. Therefore, this can only solve the situation of bullet production from scratch, but it cannot solve the problem of bullet cost. In later generations, some countries with weak industrial foundations will find that it is more expensive to produce bullets than to buy them outside. As a result, they stopped producing their own and chose to buy from outside. This is also a helpless answer, in fact, it is more expensive to produce it yourself than to buy it outside, this must be a helpless answer. So this is very demoralizing, and the factory director is embarrassed, because Wang Guorui has invested so many resources in him, but in the end he only came to such a result, which of course makes him feel embarrassed and feel a little ashamed of his trust in his superiors.
