"To put it mildly, the Americans' things are advanced, you see, our rifles are like flowing water, constantly manufactured, compared with the past, it is simply heaven and earth, the difference is too great!"

Tao Jiping said very generally: "Since the introduction of the production line in the United States, our annual output can reach 200,000 rifles, and the production capacity of one factory in the Fengtian Arsenal alone can surpass the sum of all the arsenals in the Guan, which is really incomparable." ”

In the past, among the three arsenals in Mukden, the Jilin Arsenal produced the largest number of rifles per month, which was only about 2,700 rods, which could not fully meet the needs of the Fengtian army. Now, after the introduction of the production lines of Remington and Westinghouse in the United States, production has skyrocketed.

The two companies have a total of seven rifle production lines, and after the Feng Army initially rescued the American expatriates, the U.S. government was forced to reluctantly agree to provide the Feng Army rifle production line, but only one was ready to be provided, and the rest were temporarily delayed.

However, then the battle to intervene in Russia broke out, and the Americans also discovered the value of the Feng army, and after the Americans sent troops to Siberia, they chose Vladivostok as their base camp first, just like the Japanese. Let the tiny Vladivostok suddenly become crowded, the Americans, the Japanese, the Russians all kinds of shili, everyone is intertwined, and the logistical support alone is a huge difficulty.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan proposed to the US government through the Cleveland consortium, that Mukden had already reached an agreement with the Entente countries on the export of war materials, and now it is completely possible to continue to provide war materials and logistical support to the United States, and the rich three eastern provinces can serve as logistics bases for the United States to provide all assistance.

After weighing it repeatedly, the U.S. government also felt that this was the most economical and cost-effective way, so they also agreed to Fengjun's proposal. In return. The Mosinagan production line in the United States was all moved to Mukden, and the Americans also sent a group of Jishu personnel to assist the Fengjun in mastering the production of Jishu.

There are a total of seven production lines, four of which are placed in Mukden, two in Harbin, and one in Jilin; according to the calculations of the US side, if the Feng army completely masters the production methods of the US side, the annual output of rifles can reach at least an astonishing 1 million rods, not to mention satisfying the use of the Feng army. Even if it is to arm the army of the whole country, it is not impossible.

Of course, with such a huge production capacity, the Americans would not easily let the Feng army control themselves, and the Americans pulled in the Russian White Army and signed a tripartite agreement with Mukden, that is to say, seventy percent of the rifles produced by the Feng Army should be supplied to the Russian White Army. Assist them in dealing with the majority party.

Zhang Tinglan also gladly accepted this agreement, after all, dealing with the majority party is the temporary common interest of all parties. And there's also 30 percent of the reserved space. The three arsenals can produce at least 300,000 rifles, which is nearly 100,000 rifles at 30 percent, which is enough to arm the army.

"Except for rifles. We have introduced a bullet production line from the United States, which has always been our shortcoming, although compared with other domestic arsenals, the production capacity is far ahead. But it is still not enough to see internationally. ”

"That's right, our original ammunition production can only meet the needs of civil wars, or small-scale regional conflicts, and if we deal with tens of thousands of people, we will be stretched."

The lack of production capacity has always been a major weakness of the Feng army, especially in the face of the great powers with huge industrial capacity, and the gap between the Feng army is even greater. It is with this understanding that although Zhang Tinglan advocated sending troops to the Far East and seized Hailan Pao and Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun, Zhang Tinglan chose to be silent.

After controlling the factories in Boli and Vladivostok, the Feng army did not make any big moves, allowing the Japanese army to control the entire Far East, and even hit Chita, and the entire east of Lake Baikal was taken by the Japanese, and the little devil can be said to be complacent and proud.

Zhang Tinglan knew very well that sooner or later the majority party in Russia would fight to the Far East, and it would also fight to the death with the Japanese, so for the time being, the Japanese would be proud for a while, and the Feng army would be able to use this time to enrich the military industrial system, and the production capacity would keep up, so that at least 100,000 troops could be guaranteed to fight abroad, so that the Feng army could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

"Director Tao, after the introduction of the production line in the United States, how much has the output of bullets increased?"

Tao Jiping's face was full of pride, and he said with a smile: "Humble words, it's just a world of difference, now we can produce three million rounds of ammunition at the most time of the day, which is almost equivalent to the output of the past month, which is dozens of times higher." In fact, what shocked me the most was not how advanced the American machines were, but the way the American production was organized, they engaged in standardization, implemented the assembly line production model, and made the division of labor more and more detailed, so that the output increased by leaps and bounds, and the same machine could play more than double the efficiency. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Jiping glanced at Zhang Tinglan, who seemed to be smiling, and he also woke up suddenly, in fact, Zhang Tinglan had already proposed these magic weapons of the United States, and repeatedly reminded them that these military industry leaders really understood Zhang Tinglan's power after really contacting the Americans, and this young man simply understood the key to industrial production.

"Clumsy words, I want to make amends to you, you told us this at the beginning, but I still have a little doubt, and the implementation is also unfavorable, it's really a little short-sighted!"

"Pottery director, everyone has to take a detour, but remember one point, the production process and management methods are constantly improving, we must not stop moving forward, who is complacent, who will fall behind!"

"Insightful!" Tao Jiping gave Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up, he turned around, picked up a small manual from the side, and sent it to Zhang Tinglan.

"To put it mildly, although the management methods of the Americans are advanced, they are not without problems, they are too rigid and mechanical, and they do not pay attention to the wisdom and talents of the workers, and these are the lessons we need to learn. This manual is the production operation process that I discussed with the workers, how to be the most efficient, the easiest to operate, the easiest to use, and the key to ensuring product quality. Moreover, our workers have put forward a lot of good ways to reduce consumption, and the sum of each item can reduce our cost by at least 30%. ”

Zhang Tinglan opened the booklet casually, only to see that it listed each operation specification in detail, and it was also equipped with a simple diagram, which was clear at a glance, even if it was a worker with a relatively low level of education, he could also figure it out, the most commendable thing is that the key know-how was marked on it, and it was very detailed and standardized, and it actually had the appearance of the operation process of later generations.

"Director Tao, this thing is a priceless treasure, I see not only military industrial enterprises, other civilian industries must also follow suit, in the past we Chinese have a problem, that is, not more true, everything is almost the same, completely by their own feelings, cooking can be done like this, the production of industrial products will not work, the slightest difference is thousands of miles, a little mistake adds up, what we produce is unqualified and defective, and when it is brought to the battlefield, it will kill people!"

"That's right, we must learn from experience and strive to produce the best products!"

After leaving the arsenal, Zhang Tinglan's heart was very gratified, the Chinese have never been stupid, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, they will definitely be able to make amazing achievements, the current military industrial enterprises have begun to take shape, the only thing lacking is mature workers, once this short board is filled, it is definitely not difficult to surpass the Japanese.

1918 is a harvest year for Fengjun, a year or two, the carefully built industrial system, has begun to bear fruit, not only the arsenal by leaps and bounds, other industries are also the same, the first phase of the Anshan Iron and Steel project has been successfully constructed, the daily output of steel has reached about 100 tons.

The problem of steel has been solved, and with sufficient raw materials, the production of artillery has been on the right track, the 76-mm mountain artillery has entered the stage of mass production, the 122-mm howitzer has also been successfully copied, and the production of small batches has begun.

In addition to imitation, the military industrial system of the Feng army is also working hard to carry out independent research and development, and the Harbin Arsenal is trying to develop a 105-mm field gun, which already has some eyebrows. Not only artillery, but also the production of mortars is also accelerating, and now the three major arsenals can produce more than 300 mortars per month, and in another year, the Feng army can basically complete the reloading.

After the redress, Fengjun also has the prototype of artillery, artillery is known as the god of war, and can hold the god of war in his own hands, so as to truly win the war.

The rapid development of army equipment, the sea and air liliang also have a prototype, after moving back to the machinery manufacturing plant in Boli, Ba Yuzao Wang Zhu and others soaked in it every day, the most important thing in the aircraft is the engine, only to solve this heart problem, in order to produce aircraft on a large scale.

After two months of hard work, they have copied the captured French engine, and the performance of the product is not much different from the original, and it is much better than the engine imported from the United States.

With their own engines, the production of aircraft is already almost over, Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu, Li Ruyan and others, plus Sukhoi, who had just been abducted to Mukden, formed a strong team, and they quickly figured out the production process of the fighter and came up with the product.

"Humble words, tomorrow we will test our new aircraft at the airport, you must go!" Zhang Xueliang smiled and stuffed an invitation card into Zhang Tinglan's hand.

"Han Qing, you don't have to work for such a trivial matter as sending invitations, right?"

"Isn't this here to invite a humble man to come, how can I show the sincerity of the Air Force if I don't come!" Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "And there is one thing to get rid of the brother, I am still wearing the hat of the director, do you see if you want to find a way to help me change to the commander, this thing is majestic!"
