Chapter Eighty-Nine: Military Tasks

readx;? As soon as Wang Haitao got out of the car, Rolf shouted in Chinese: "Dear boss, you are back, I heard that you have gone to the United States, have you done the work?" Wang Haitao replied with a smile: "Director Rolf, I haven't seen you for half a year, do you speak good Chinese, I not only went to the United States this time, but also went to Germany, to the city of Essen and the headquarters of the Krupp company."

When Rolf heard this, he exaggeratedly said, "Oh God, you actually went to the headquarters building of Krupp, then you must have seen those high-level executives of our company, right?" Wang Haitao still smiled and said: "I not only met, but also became friends with the director of Alfred Jr., the manager of the production department, Lucas. Rolf and Jonas looked at each other, and instead of smiling, they changed to expressions of utter surprise.

Seeing this, Wang Haitao said: "Director Rolf, can you take me to the production workshop to have a look?" Wang Haitao followed the two into the production workshop. After seeing the advanced and high efficiency of the Krupp factory, and then looking at his own arsenal, the feeling of contrast made Wang Haitao feel uncomfortable for a while.

Although under the management of Rolf and Jonas, there are already some shadows of the Krupp factory, and it is a relatively good military factory in China, but compared with the Krupp factory, this is the difference between a poor country boy and a billionaire. This difference cannot be changed at all in a short period of time, and this is also the gap between the weak Chinese industry and the world's first-class industrial level.

Wang Haitao watched several production workshops with a self-cherishing mentality, and also inspected several guns and bullets that had just been produced. I am quite satisfied with the process of the factory, after all, most of the equipment in the factory is German, and the materials are basically imported. After visiting the production workshop, Wang Haitao and Rolf came to the factory director's office together. On the way, Wang Haitao told Rolf that he had brought two truckloads of German equipment to the factory this time and asked him to arrange someone to unload the truck.

After coming to the office and sitting down, Rolf took the initiative to report to Wang Haitao about the production situation, and now the arsenal has 560 workers, which can produce 300,000 rounds of various 7.62 caliber bullets, 10 mortars of various calibers, 200 shells, 300 semi-automatic rifles, 100 submachine guns, 30 light guns, 5 heavy machine guns, 2,000 grenades, and 200 pistols every month.

This is the maximum capacity that can be achieved when the raw materials are sufficient and the workers are at full capacity in three shifts. However, due to various reasons, the output can only reach two-thirds. Even so, Wang Haitao is quite satisfied. In China in this era, it is not easy to have such an arsenal. Wang Haitao first affirmed Rolf's work.

Then Wang Haitao said: "Director Rolf, your arsenal will be expanded again, because I have brought back a lot of heavy weapons from Germany this time, and you have to produce ammunition for these heavy weapons, including Krupp 75 infantry artillery shells, 105 howitzer high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, incendiary shells, 150 heavy artillery high-explosive shells, 223 type MG34 machine gun shells for light armored vehicles, 231 MG13 machine gun shells for heavy armored vehicles, 20 mm caliber shells, Mauser pistol bullets, K98K rifle bullets. ”

Rolf listened as he jotted down Wang's request in his notebook. Rolf was no stranger to these German guns, so there was no technical difficulty in producing them. However, Rolf said to Wang Haitao: "Boss, there is no other problem in producing these ammunition, and even the production line can be made by us, but there is only one problem." ”

Wang Haitao asked: "What's the problem?" Rolf replied: "It's a matter of raw materials, you know, the production of large-caliber artillery shells, the demand for copper is very large, and the production of armor-piercing shells uses tungsten steel, these raw materials are not enough for me to produce." As for gunpowder for high-explosive shells, I need to build a separate gunpowder factory, you just need to provide me with chemical raw materials. ”

Wang Haitao replied: "You don't have to worry about raw materials, I have signed a contract with Morgan Company in the United States, and in a few months, the first batch of various metal materials will be shipped to China." Rolf said: "Boss, you are really powerful, not only from Germany to buy the latest heavy weapons, but also from the Morgan company to buy metal raw materials. I admire you so much. ”

At this time, Jonas, who arranged to unload the truck, also walked in, and said excitedly: "Boss, you are so discerning, there are several items in the equipment brought this time that are urgently needed in the factory, such as the small punch, which is even more needed, with these equipment, we can not only increase the output a lot, but also improve the product quality a lot?"

Wang Haitao said with a smile: "It's good to be able to use it, and it can be regarded as if I didn't work hard in vain." Rolf couldn't sit still when he heard what Jonas said, and hurriedly said, "Take me to see it, these equipment should be installed quickly." Wang Haitao is very satisfied with the work attitude of the two, worthy of the people from the Krupp factory, the rigorous attitude towards the work, Chinese should still learn more.

Wang Haitao also said goodbye to the two of them and went to the hospital with the remaining two truckloads of medical equipment and medicines. In the hospital, Wang Haitao was also warmly received by the Frank brothers, and when Wang Haitao handed over the equipment and medicines to the two directors, the two asked Wang Haitao to give him some more penicillin, because penicillin is used in anti-inflammatory, and the effect is much better than the previous anti-inflammatory drugs.

Wang Haitao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: Even the first-generation penicillium soppenicillin will not be mass-produced until a few years later, where am I going to get penicillin now, although there are still some in the arsenal, but they are prepared for the upcoming war, and the quantity is limited, so I don't dare to use it indiscriminately now.

If it is possible to buy some equipment and set up a pharmaceutical factory, anyway, I still know a little about how to make penicillin and streptomycin, and fortunately, the father of a comrade-in-arms is the director of a pharmaceutical factory, and I have visited this pharmaceutical factory myself. But for now, I can only say sorry to the Frank brothers. The Frank brothers had no choice but to reluctantly let Wang Haitao do some if possible.

After leaving the hospital and returning to the barracks, Wang Haitao began to worry about the weapons of the recruits again, more than 2,000 recruits, if they only count on the arsenal, I am afraid it will take at least a few months to be fully armed, this is not good, it seems that he has to go back to the arms warehouse once and get some weapons and ammunition out.
