Calling Yan Changxi to come to Chen Feng was to ask her face to face, now that she Yan Changxi is a member of the Yan family, but if she Yan Changxi passes through the door, how will she deal with the relationship between the Yan family and the Chen family, which is very important.

And Yan Changxi's answer made Chen Feng very satisfied, although it was only two short sentences: "The daughter who marries out of Lu spills the water that goes away, and marries her husband." "The previous sentence was said to the Yan family, once she Yan Changxi got married, it would be the water that was spilled, and the Yan family was only the source of her before, but it was no longer the whole of her existence. The latter sentence is said to Chen Feng, once she passes through the door, she Yan Changxi will be his Chen Feng's person, and everything is subject to the will of Chen Daguan.

In this case, even if you accept Yan Changxi, it is not a big deal, and in the face of Yan Changxi, an intellectual beauty, it is a lie to yourself to say that you are not impressed, since you have already accepted three women, it is not a big deal to charge one more, as long as you are happy.

With Chen Feng's promise, of course, the meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, but when the banquet was about to disperse, Yan Laoxi suddenly asked with a smile: "Solemn, Chairman Jiang's decision to form 10-15 Japanese mechanics has something to do with you, right?" ”

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "It is indeed related to me, I made a deal with Chairman Jiang, and within two years, I will provide the Central Army with more than 10 divisions of Japanese-made weapons and equipment, and also form a field heavy artillery division and 3 to 5 heavy mortar brigades for him." And he has to provide 40 million oceans of funds and 30,000 tons of oil for the 40th Group, which will also be paid off within two years. ”

"Where did you get so many Japanese-made weapons?" Yan Xishan asked in surprise.

"Of course it was captured, after several major battles, our army captured a total of more than 100,000 Japanese-made 38 large covers and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Moreover, the capture of Tianjin this time included a large number of weapons and equipment hoarded by the Japanese army at the Tianjin port. Each division of the Central Army has more than 10,000 people, and the weapons and equipment of the 10 divisions are only tens of thousands of rifles and a few thousand light and heavy machine guns. Chen Feng said.

"I see, solemn, now we are also a family, or you can also sell the equipment of the old man and my division, the price will definitely not let you suffer, just the same price as Lao Jiang, the old man and I are not greedy, the equipment of 5 divisions will be fine." What do you think? "Yan Lao Xidao.

"Five divisions are not very well equipped. But we did not have a lot of captured Japanese-made equipment, and there was not much left after giving 15 divisions to the Central Army, but there were a large number of Mauser rifles, and there was no problem with artillery. How much and how many 120mm heavy mortars are needed. Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Mauser rifles? Medium formal or Mauser 1924? Yan Xishan asked with a frown. If you want to say which is the best rifle on the battlefield in China now? The Zhongzheng named after Jiang Zhongzheng is of course the best. The 38 type is also good, because the caliber of the gun is small, so the shooting accuracy is high and the effect is good. In addition, the 38 large cover bolt is extremely firm when locked. When the chamber is blown up, almost all the barrels are fried, and the bolt protrusions are rarely broken. At the same time, the 38 cover almost does not produce muzzle flames, and in the Pacific theater, it is very troublesome for the US military, and it is almost impossible to judge the position of the Japanese army from the muzzle flames. However, the high stability characteristics make the stopping effect not good, and the lethality is not high. As long as it doesn't hit the vital part, it will generally not kill people.

ON THE CONTRARY, THE ZHONGZHENG IS A COPY OF THE MAUSER 1924 TYPE, USING THE MAUSER 7.92×57MM BULLET, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE POWERFUL THAN THE 6.5×50MM BULLET USED BY THE THREE-EIGHT TYPE, AND THE MAUSER 7.92×57MM HAS A GOOD STOPPING EFFECT AND HIGH LETHALITY. It stands to reason that people should prefer to be more formal.

At that time, there were dozens of arsenals producing formal rifles in China, but in addition to the quality of the formal rifles produced by the Hanyang Factory and the Jinling Factory, the difference between the formal rifles produced in other places was too great, and there was no unified standard at that time, and there were some shoddy formal rifles that could only hit 300 meters in actual combat. In addition, the performance of the 38 cover is quite good in the stab, so for the Chinese army, which often cannot get enough ammunition, the 38 cover is more popular.

"Isn't that all the same, isn't it Mauser 1924, hehehe. Rest assured, they have all been used by the Central Army, although there are also some local troops who use shoddy ones, but the number is not very large, and on the whole it is only stronger than the Japanese mechanics. I can provide two divisions of Japanese armament for the Jinsui Army, and the other three divisions are all standard for the Central Army. If artillery is to be desired, the equipment of an artillery brigade can be mobilized in a short time. Chen Feng thought for a while and said.

"Okay, when will it be delivered?"

"The first batch of a Japanese mechanic, a national armament division and 100 heavy mortars are ready for delivery." Chen Feng replied.

"Commander Chen, you can't favor one over the other, our Eighth Route Army is poor, but it is also a devil-fighting army, you also sell us some weapons and equipment, we have few people, one division is enough." Mr. Zhu also lost no time in saying.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhu, it's not that I, Chen, don't sell it to your Eighth Route Army, but the price of a 38 big cover plus 50 rounds of ammunition and 80 oceans I don't know if your army can afford it, just according to the calculation of 10,000 rifles in a division, the rifle alone will cost 800,000 oceans, plus heavy weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and mortars, a division will need at least 1.8 million oceans." I know that your side is short of funds, everyone is an anti-Japanese army, I suggest you buy some rifles with poor performance, such as Hanyang-made, Shuilianzhu and other rifles, not to mention the cheap price, the ammunition is easy to replenish, and I will give you a friendly price when the time comes. ”

"What Commander Chen said makes sense, but I don't know how many Hanyang Harmony and Water Lianzhu there are on Commander Chen's side, how should this price be calculated?" Mr. Zhu hurriedly asked.

"If you want to say that there are really a lot of weapons and equipment of this kind, it is no problem to equip ten or eight troops of the 129th division, as for the price, it is said that the friendship price is the friendship price, and the Hanyang and Shui Lianzhu are 20 oceans each. But let's talk in advance, I don't have a lot of ammunition anywhere, and I can't guarantee how many bullets each rifle will have. In addition, we can provide you with a batch of Czech light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns. The number is limited to 500. Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, good, thank you so much Commander Chen!!" Mr. Zhu said gratefully.

"Mr. Zhu, don't be polite, contemptible people have always thought that both the national army and the communist army are China's national defense strength, and everyone is not clear about what will happen in the future, but at least before the little devils are driven out of China, everyone is still a friendly army, or a brother. We all have a common goal, that is, to keep this family inheritance left to us by our ancestors, and if we are allies, we should fight side by side, and we should help each other. Chen Feng said with a smile.

Although Hanyang-made is a rifle in the era of warlord melee, Hanyang-made has always been one of the main weapons in China. Although it is two generations behind the middle and official. The 38 rifle is also a generation behind the Japanese, but it is still a strong and reliable rifle. The prototype of the gun was the German 1888 Committee rifle, which was replaced by the Mauser 1898 rifle in 1898 due to the difficulty of loading and reloading, poor reliability of the shell, and easy to explode. The rifle was then resold to Turkey, some African countries and the Qing government in China.

Based on the superstition of the Qing government's Western-style party "Mauser" brand. German businessmen falsely claimed that the Type 1888 rifle was a Mauser rifle. Successfully sold design materials and production machinery to the Qing government. So from 1896. The Hanyang Arsenal began to produce this type of rifle, which was named the 88 Style. In 1899, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau also began to produce this type of rifle, which lasted until 1944. This type of rifle has been produced in China for nearly 50 years, which is the longest production time of light weapons in China at that time, and it is also the main gun type of light weapons and equipment of various armed forces in China from the new army of the Qing government to the period of the War of Resistance against Japan.

Since the main manufacturer of the gun is the Hanyang Arsenal located in Hanyang, Hubei, it is generally called Hanyang-made. At the same time, because the German-made 1888 rifle imported in the early stage used a full-length barrel sleeve, and the domestic imitation in the early stage also used a full-length barrel sleeve, so its early gun type is also called the "old sleeve".

Due to the long production time, this gun was almost indispensable in all the campaigns in China in the early Republic of China, including the Xinhai Revolution. The gun has been playing a role on the battlefield from the Xinhai Revolution to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and is a legendary myth in the history of Chinese warfare.

After the successful manufacture of rifles in China, although the national government once hoped to modify the production of rifle machines made in Hanyang to the manufacture of formal rifles, but then the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War postponed this plan, Jinling and Hanyang factories also moved to Chongqing due to the Anti-Japanese War, and at the same time the Hanyang Arsenal produced rifles were transferred to the 21st factory (Jinling Arsenal reorganized the descendants), so that the production of Hanyang was concentrated in a single factory, and the production capacity of the Gongxian Arsenal was greatly reduced after the rifle department was blown up. Therefore, during the Anti-Japanese War, the 88-type rifle still occupied an important position in the army, and the Hanyang-made 21 factory continued to produce until 1944, when the machine in the factory was completely modified to be manufactured in the formal before it was discontinued.

Due to its large quantity and durability, even after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Hanyang-made continued to be used among various forces in the country, and the 88 rifle can still be seen during the Korean War. It was not until the end of the Korean War that the People's Republic of China obtained a large number of new individual weapons from the Soviet Union through military aid and self-production, and the Type 88 rifle was retired from active service and turned to civilian use, and it was not completely eliminated until the 80s.

Chen Feng sold it to the Eighth Route Army Hanyang and even the old sleeve, which seemed to be a bit despised by the Communists. The party, but in essence, it helped the Eighth Route Army a lot, and the price of the same 38 big cover can be exchanged for four Hanyang-made, which is undoubtedly a relief for the Eighth Route Army, which is extremely short of weapons and ammunition.

More importantly, due to the obstruction of the Nationalist Government openly and covertly, even if the Nationalist Government is in the . The total amount of money that can be raised is not that of the one who dares to sell them weapons and equipment, and the amount is still so large. Lao Jiang's intention was obvious, if he wanted guns and ammunition, he would grab them from the Japanese, hoping to weaken the strength of the Eighth Route Army, so after hearing Chen Feng's plan, Mr. Zhu was also extremely happy.

If Chen Feng's plan is implemented, all the weapons and equipment of an infantry division of more than 10,000 people will be at most 350,000 oceans, or even less. The Nationalist Government has the money to equip one division, while the Eighth Route Army can equip five divisions.

In addition to winning orders for 16 divisions, Chen Feng also established supply contracts with the Nationalist Government, the Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army, and the three companies that sold goods opened up the arms market. (To be continued......)
