Chapter 667 Hu Hao's Whereabouts (Fifth Watch)
In the afternoon, the cadres came back from the test site and went to the conference room of the headquarters, where five submachine guns and five pistols were placed on the table in the middle of the conference room.
"Haha, let's talk about these two guns, do you want to produce them!" The commander-in-chief asked with a smile.
"That must be produced, who said not to produce I'm in a hurry with him! Such guns are not yet produced, if I have such guns, I can fight with a squad of devils in one company, and absolutely annihilate them! Immediately an army cadre stood up and said.
"Yes, it must be produced!" The other immediately said,
"Haha, you people, then produce!" The commander-in-chief said with a smile,
"Well, I have a question, this gun is not high! Also, do we have enough money, and how much do we produce every year? A cadre attending the meeting asked with a worried face, first the deputy commander went to Chongqing, Yan'an's economy is all under his control, and he is also the assistant to the deputy commander.
"Lao Liu, what do you mean, don't let you produce!" A cadre next to him immediately turned his head and looked at him angrily,
"I didn't say that we wouldn't let it be produced, I also like this gun, but now our economy doesn't know how many guns we can support the production, so we can't put all the income from our base into it, so what do we eat and use!" Lao Liu immediately said,
"Well, what Lao Liu said makes sense! But this problem Hu Hao has already explained in the call, that is, the early investment is larger, and in the later stage, it is mainly labor costs, but the labor costs are mainly in the mining area of Jiangxi, where mining requires a lot of people! The other expenses will not be much at that time, and they will be eaten by people! The commander said immediately.
"That's the average cost per gun, no! I know this gun is important to us, but I also want to know if we can hold it up! Lao Liu said immediately. I haven't calculated it now, but Hu Hao said it. We have no problem with mass production at all, and the economy of the base area can support it! The commander continued,
"Oh, that's good, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it!" Lao Liu said, and the cadres next to him were relieved when they heard the commander say this, for fear that they would not be able to support it, so they could only produce in small batches.
"Now there is a problem, the gun is easy to produce, but you have just fired a good shot. The rate of consumption of bullets is really too fast, and we have at least twenty or thirty thousand bullets out just now!
There are less than 30 of us here, and we have so many bullets! If you go to the battlefield, you can imagine the speed of bullet consumption! The commander said, lighting a cigarette.
"This problem is easy to solve, how did we do it before, we have to pick up all the bullet shells on those battlefields, and there will be no problem in taking them to the arsenal to reload!" A cadre said immediately.
"Yes, it's reloading bullets, and the supply of bullets will definitely increase. With this kind of gun, what kind of devil are we afraid of, the national army, we will clean it up when we come! Another cadre immediately said.
"Yes, too! Then let's vote, and now there are 28 members present at the meeting, accounting for 70% of the members. It's time to vote! The commander immediately raised his hand after speaking, and as a result, all those people raised their hands!
"Haha, unanimously passed. In the production of this gun, there are still several issues to be discussed, one is a letter from Hu Hao saying that the naming of these two guns, and the other is about the whereabouts of Hu Hao. The commander said with a smile.
"I think the submachine gun is called the Type 40 submachine gun, or the Red-40 submachine gun, to commemorate that we are the guns of the Red Army, and the pistols are called the Red Star pistols?" A cadre immediately said,
"I look at the pistol is called Yan'an, and the submachine gun is called the word commander, and the name of the Chongqing person who is not officially used in the middle of the country, we also have it!" Another cadre also said.
"No, no, you can't call my words, that can't work, we can't do this, if you teach words, it's better to call Hu Hao! However, does Hu Hao's kid have any words? The commander immediately shook his hand and said,
"That's called a two-dignified style?" The commander-in-chief asked with a smile.
"Is that okay, this name is a waste of this gun, no, no!" The cadres below immediately shook their heads in disagreement,
"It's not bad, it's not bad, it's originally researched by two stunned people, it's not bad, it's just not good!" The commander immediately smiled and said,
"What's that called, everybody!" The commander-in-chief immediately asked with a smile.
"If the submachine gun is called the eight-way type, and the pistol is also called the Red Star, I think the name Red Star is good!" Lao Liu thought for a while and said.
"Well, I also feel that the pistol is called Red Star, so let's set the pistol first, everyone raise their hands to vote!" The commander-in-chief nodded and said, and immediately passed it unanimously.
"Good, pass! Then let's talk about this firepower submachine gun! The commander-in-chief immediately lowered his hand and said.
"Hey, I have a suggestion, what do you think is called the August 1st Style, to commemorate the August 1st Uprising in Nanchang, the first shot of our armed revolution, and this gun is the first spear developed by our Eighth Route Army itself! Also called Bayi style! What do you think? The commander immediately thought for a moment and said,
"I think it's okay, it makes sense! Or that's the name? "As soon as the commander-in-chief heard what the commander-in-chief said, he immediately lit up!
"Okay, this way, the first armed revolution of our August 1st Uprising, the gun is armed, with this gun, the revolution is more likely to succeed!" A cadre immediately nodded and said, and everyone also nodded in agreement, this name is good! So everyone voted by a show of hands, and the result was unanimously approved. The name was decided.
"Okay, it's just a question about zuihou, and it's also the most headache, let's talk about how to arrange it?" The commander asked, lowering his hand.
"Then how to arrange, just be in charge of the arsenal and develop good weapons for us!" Lao Liu immediately said,
"Yes. We can't afford to lose this kind of person, to put it ruthlessly, we would rather lose an army than lose Hu Hao! This must let him stay in the arsenal, and he can't be allowed to go down to lead the troops to fight! An army cadre said immediately.
"What you said is light, can Hu Hao agree, when I was in the staff department before, I was bored every day, I wanted to go to the front line, I wanted to go to war! If we lock him up in the arsenal, you see if he will be in a hurry with us!" The chief of staff of the staff immediately disagreed.
"Then you can't let him go to the front line, you are willing!" The cadre of the army who had just spoken said,
"It's not a question of reluctance, it's a question of whether Hu Hao will do it or not, you can persuade Hu Hao to stay in the arsenal, I raise my hands and agree!" said the Chief of the General Staff.
"Then, let's try it anyway, anyway, I won't agree with him to go to the front line, just kidding, as long as he develops a new weapon, how many soldiers can he resist!" The military cadre immediately disagreed.
"I think he still can't let him go to the front line, think about it, he wrote an infantry drill code, and now the books of the staff department of Kang Da are basically all revised with those things added to Hu Hao's textbooks, and international relations are all taught by Hu Hao, this kid is a great talent, and he can't be lost on the battlefield!" Lao Liu also said immediately.
"The key is that kid is not an honest man, you let him sit in the back, that's no different from asking for his life, besides, the arsenal can shut up Hu Hao, I bet, as long as Hu Hao is ordered to stay in the arsenal, that kid can blow up the arsenal, believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you can block me now!" The Chief of the General Staff continued to disagree.
"Why is this kid so hard to handle! How nice it is to be honest and stay behind, really! The commander had no choice, rubbing his head with a headache.
"Boss, what do you mean, you won't really let him go to the front line, then boss, your heart is really big, you dare to let it out, what if something happens!" A cadre of the army looked at the commander-in-chief and said.
"Do you think I'm going to think about it, this kid is an honest man? You see, I asked him to do something for me that time, he didn't want to do it, hey, you're going to kill the devil, you don't need to mention it, he went by himself, that kid just wants to go to the front, and this time he is so desperate in the arsenal, although there is pressure to research weapons as soon as possible, but there is definitely a factor in wanting to go to the front line! The commander-in-chief was sitting there and analyzed, and when he said this, the people next to him laughed, what was the case!
"There is another point, you have all ignored his ability, that is, to engage in the economy, I won't talk about money, that is his forte, but you ignore the economy!" Lao Liu immediately said,
"Engage in the economy, don't talk about it, he will also engage in the economy, it's good if he doesn't destroy it!" A military cadre next to him said in surprise.
"Do you know that the brick factory he founded, various farms, and now the independent division has established its own cement factory according to his requirements, how much income can it bring to our Eighth Route Army every year, last year accounted for 7% of our income, this year each unit went to learn, it is estimated that it can account for 20%, everyone, it's not a small number,
And now that he has improved the steel plant, he can save us a lot of money! You say he's not going to do it!
Another point, the whole of Shanxi, according to his requirements, is not allowed to suppress regular businessmen, last year Shanxi's tax accounted for 50% of our entire Eighth Route Army's tax revenue, if this will not be done, then who do you say, I feel that he is much more powerful than me! : Lao Liu immediately said,
"Oh my God, this kid is great at fighting, good at weapons, good at teaching, and great at economics! No, no, you can't let him go to the front line to show his skills behind it! A cadre immediately snapped his fingers and said.
"Boss, what the hell do you mean, now he's in your army, you say something!" The commander asked, looking at the commander-in-chief. (To be continued......)
