"Bangs is a talent, it's really condescending to let him be a teacher!" The political commissar sighed and said, "The combat effectiveness of the special artillery regiment formed this time is very strong, not inferior to the elite of the Kuomintang, if there are ten artillery regiments like this, we can counterattack Shenyang!" "Do you think his talent is training? His greatest ability is still artillery command, if he can be the commander of this regiment, a column dares to fight to the death with his New Sixth Army! But since we have promised him not to participate in the civil war, we cannot break our promise! Chief One said. By the way, there is one thing that needs to be done by one person now, there are some problems in our artillery factory and artillery shell manufacturing factory, according to the Japanese Yoshishita Saburo, the steel used to make cannons is the inventory left by the Kwantung Army, and now it is about to run out, although we can make steel, but the steel made by the earthen steelmaking method is still improvised, but the manufacture of cannons requires high-quality seamless steel pipes, so we need to make our own steel! But this requires technology, we have already negotiated with the Soviet Union, send a group of technicians to Vladivostok to learn the smelting of seamless steel pipes, I suggest that Liu Hai and that Su Huizhen lead the team together, what do you say? The commissar said. Yes, with the resources, tools and corresponding key technologies, we will be able to go our own way in the future! The No. 1 leader said: "Bangs, that's a lucky general!" ”

"What?" Liu Hai was taken aback, and did not expect that the above would let himself go to the Soviet Union again, this time to learn metallurgical technology. "I see, in the future, it will be related to the study of artillery technology, and you won't be able to run away from this kind of thing as unit formation!" Zhu Rui said. "Then you can't keep calling me, and you go with that half-ocean devil Su Huizhen, I also have a job here!" Bangs because Sima Hong has just come back, and now the two of them have been together for a few days before they have to leave again! "This time is different, think about it, we have lathes, molds, raw materials, just a little bit of technology, if we have all these conditions ready, then we can build a lot of cannons, we can end this war as soon as possible, isn't this what you want to see the most?" Zhu Rui slowly induces! "Sea!" At this time, Sima Hong walked in, "Obey the organizational arrangement, go!" As long as we have artillery, we can avoid Xie Ming's sacrifice, not only for artillery, but also to end the war as soon as possible and embark on the road of founding the country as soon as possible" "But, alas! Forget it, let's go, there is no smelting technology for seamless steel pipes, and it would be wishful thinking to want to make your own cannon! But Principal Zhu, you contact the No. 1 chief, and I'm going to the headquarters to talk about this matter! Bangs said helplessly.

"Chief, you won't bother me, will you?" Bangs looked at the somewhat emaciated No. 1 and said. "What's the trouble? It's not a hassle at all, you can complete the task more than you expected every time, and it's the same this time, as long as you can get the smelting technology back, it's easy to say anything! On the contrary, I'm a little embarrassed, Sima Hong just came back and asked you to separate! Chief One said. Chief, I promise to complete the task, don't worry! Bangs agreed to it. Soon things entered the preparatory stage, the study members selected from the factory were gathered, and Liu Hai and Su Huizhen led the team to the Soviet Union, this time it was Vladivostok, Liu Hai only hoped to be able to complete the mission as soon as possible, the only thing that made Liu Hai a little depressed was Su Huizhen, who was a little ambiguous about herself, and Liu Hai himself couldn't figure out what was going on with Su Huizhen. Since Su Huizhen arrived at the artillery school, she has not been too entangled, she has been working on her work, and has established two cannon maintenance groups and maintenance groups, and has done a lot of work for the maintenance and high utilization rate of the artillery school. But after the task of going to the Soviet Union was issued this time, Su Huizhen was like a stimulant, since she got on the train, she has been tired of being by her bangs, and she couldn't cry or laugh when she got bangs, thinking about marrying Sima Hong as soon as possible to save these troubles!

The attitude of the Soviet side was enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than the last one, and the posts of the study personnel were arranged as quickly as possible, and Liu Hai was placed next to the director of the technical office of the Red Star Ironworks in Vladivostok. This director is an old worker, when he was a child, he often followed his father to the steel mill to play, he never left steel in his life, worked overtime during the Great Patriotic War, and very successfully manufactured and processed a lot of new steel, providing the high-quality steel needed for the manufacture of the famous T34 tank, and won a Red Star Medal! When Liu Hai arrived at the steel plant to take place, it was working time, and after being introduced and acquainted, the government workers in Vladivostok left, leaving Liu Hai and Su Huizhen behind. "Come on, dear friend, and make a toast to our successful acquaintance!" The director handed over half a bottle of vodka. Bangs was taken aback and asked, "Can I drink alcohol during work?" "Of course not!" The director said solemnly. "Then this... Bangs pointed to the bottle. "As long as the factory director doesn't know, it's fine!" The director smiled and blinked. "Director Otrov, we want to join the work as soon as possible, we have got the technology we need!" Su Huizhen next to her said. "Oh, beauty, okay, as long as you want!" Director Otrov said happily.

"Actually, I know what you need!" Otrov sat on the chair, his eyes glancing at Su Huizhen from time to time, after all, he wanted to take a few more looks at a man with such a figure! "What you need is the manufacturing technology of seamless steel pipes, but I want to tell you, that's a misunderstanding! Seamless steel pipes can only make some mortars, real cannon barrels and breeches are made that is another thing, if you don't know how to process it, even if you give you seamless steel pipes for nothing, it's useless! Ordinary seamless steel pipes can't stand the terrifying chamber pressure of large-caliber guns, which requires some tricks to enhance them! The barrel of a large artillery is forged into a blank by a large-tonnage hydraulic press, and then roughened by a large broaching machine, and then quenched by a large heat treatment equipment (such as a deep well oil furnace). In particular, it should be pointed out that the steel used in the gun barrel is the most special kind of high-quality high-grade alloy structural steel, which has very high compressive strength, tensile strength, high temperature resistance and fatigue resistance. And then you can load the artillery! "Otrov is really an expert, and when he gets down to business, he shows his professional qualities.

"It's too complicated!" Liu Hai couldn't help but say, "This requires not only technology, but also a large number of machines and equipment, and it is not a day's work!" "Then take your time, there is a process for everything!" Su Huizhen said. "In my opinion, Comrade Team Leader, you don't need to learn these technologies, you should find a way to procure a complete set of equipment from our government, only with these equipment, coupled with technology, can you really make high-performance artillery!" Otrov suggested. "Dear Hai, he's right, if you don't have equipment, it's no rice!" Su Huizhen said. "Alright, I'm going to send a telegram to Chief One for instructions!" Bangs said. Bangs' telegram was quickly placed on the table of Chief No. 1. The No. 1 chief did not hesitate at all, he understood the role of artillery on the battlefield very well, and appointed Liu Hai as a plenipotentiary representative to negotiate with the Soviet Union on the purchase of equipment on behalf of the Democratic Alliance Army and the Northeast Bureau! Liu Hai quickly replied to the power and asked to send all the existing equipment data and production technical indicators in Northeast China for reference. The No. 1 leader quickly sent Liu Hai all the existing technical data and manufacturing standards, as well as various data on the manufacture of cannons. Sure enough, with the available data, it seems that the cannon manufacturing in the Northeast is simply playing at home!

"With all due respect, judging from your information, your current cannon manufacturing is still based on assembly and modification and simple casting, and at most there are some low-pressure guns! Low-bore pressure artillery is not good, not only the range is limited, but the quality of the projectile is also very average, very average, * the pressure of the combustion chamber cannot be up to standard, and even very bad, if the charge is not standard, a little more, it is easy to blow up! You need to start from scratch, everything from scratch! After reading the information, Otrov said bluntly. All what you said is true, my country has been in a long-term war of secession, and I don't have the time and money to study this, but now it's different, I not only need technology, but also equipment, as long as I can give us a little help and tips, we can do very well, and my country and people will definitely be able to do it! Bangs said. I never doubted that China was a great country, but now my advice to you is to buy equipment and let the people you bring learn the technology, as long as you can buy the equipment back, they learn, and you can build your own cannon in a very short time! Outrov said. Okay, I'll go to your leader! Bangs said immediately.

Through normal channels, Liu Hai found the director of the industrial bureau in Vladivostok and asked to buy some equipment from the Soviet Union in the name of the Northeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China. "Your request is urgent for you, it should be, but you have to understand that what you want to buy is arms manufacturing equipment, this kind of thing is something that can only be carried out between countries and allies, although you have established your own red army, but it is still far from seizing power, and now if I sell these things to you, the consequences are difficult to predict, and I cannot agree to it with my terms of reference!" The Secretary for Industry is very clear about what he means, don't sell! "Well, then I would like to ask, whose authority can promise to sell us?" Bangs asked. "Only the great Comrade Stalin!"
