The chief of staff nodded in affirmation: "What I value most is the development potential of the Wutai Arsenal!" ”

"Boss, it's only been a long time for Wang Ping to build an arsenal from scratch, and he can reload bullets on a large scale as soon as he comes up. I remember that when we were in the Soviet area, we also had an arsenal, and it took several years, and the output of reloading bullets was not as good as Wang Ping's bullet reloading production line now! ”

"I can't imagine how Wang Ping did it!"

"I can't imagine that as long as Wang Ping is given enough time and conditions, half a year later, how big the scale of the arsenal will be!"

The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "You're right, this arsenal will definitely become the largest arsenal of our Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Tell Lao Nie that when developing the arsenal, Wang Ping has any requirements, although he meets them. He can't be satisfied, and our headquarters will find a way to solve it! ”

"Also, isn't there still a lot of talent in the Military Industry Department of the headquarters! Send someone to Lao Nie immediately! This arsenal is not only the hope of his old Nie, but also the hope of our Eighth Route Army! ”

When the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army discussed the arsenal, the attention of the Yan'an Command was also attracted by this newly established arsenal.

For a long time, whether it was the former Red Army or the current Eighth Route Army, equipment and ammunition could only be replenished by capture!

But everyone in the High Command knew that an army, especially after reaching a certain size, could not rely solely on capture. Otherwise, sooner or later, this force will have problems due to the interruption of ammunition supply.

Now the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has built an arsenal surrounded by heavy troops of the Japanese puppet army, and it can reload bullets as soon as it comes up, and there is such a large output.

At the first glance of the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief's first reaction was not to believe it.

After seeing that the telegram was sent by Commander Jinchaji Nie personally, he finally believed it, and then his face was covered with a thick smile!

"Inform the Commander-in-Chief to go to the Commander-in-Chief's Office immediately, the sooner the better!" The deputy commander trotted towards the commander's office and ordered the guards behind him.

"Commander, is there something wrong at the front? Why are you in such a hurry! The deputy commander had just walked into the commander's office, and before he could speak, the commander-in-chief's voice sounded at the door, very anxious.

The deputy commander hurriedly replied: "It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing!" This is a telegram from Lao Nie, our Eighth Route Army has its own arsenal. Although it is not yet possible to produce weapons and ammunition by itself, the reloaded bullets can now meet the operational needs of half of the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region! ”

With that, the deputy commander handed the telegram to the commander-in-chief, who also looked puzzled.

After reading the telegram, the commander-in-chief looked shocked, then surprised, and finally handed the telegram over under the expectant and anxious gaze of the commander-in-chief!

At a glance and ten lines, the commander-in-chief quickly read the telegram, and the expression on his face was the same as that of the commander-in-chief, first shocked, then surprised.

"More than half a military district of troops! Unless we encounter a large-scale sweep by the devils, four or five hundred thousand rounds of ammunition are enough for the entire military region for a month! ”

"And Lao Nie also said that the output of reloading bullets will increase to 800,000 in a month, and strive for 3 million in half a year, and when the time comes, the entire Eighth Route Army will be enough!"

"Lao Nie's decision to set up an arsenal is right!" The commander said with great pleasure.

"By the way, what level is the arsenal Wang Ping now, from scratch, the arsenal was built in less than a month, and it must be rewarded!"

"Lao Nie originally declared the regimental level!" The deputy commander thought about it and replied.

"Then be promoted to brigade level!" The commander made a categorical decision.

The deputy commander-in-chief who dealt with the bureaucrats of the Nationalist Government every day for weapons and ammunition had the greatest wish that he would no longer look at the faces of those people and change all their ridicule of the Eighth Route Army back.

And Wang Ping is fulfilling his wish step by step. Therefore, the deputy commander was the first to stand up in support and said: "I agree, the arsenal is too important for our Eighth Route Army. As long as the arsenal can develop according to Lao Nie's ideas, it can produce weapons and ammunition by itself. Take our Eighth Route Army and please be controlled by others! ”

Surprisingly, the commander-in-chief, who was the supreme head of Wang Ping, actually showed a wry smile.

"Commander-in-chief, I also agree to promote the arsenal to a brigade-level unit and improve the status of the arsenal. However, if he does this, Wang Ping will not be able to be a brigade commander! ”

"Is there a problem with this Wang Ping?" The commander's brow furrowed, and he asked sharply.

"There is no question of principle, it is just that a big mistake was made not long ago, and many people are staring at him!" The commander-in-chief replied!

"The commander-in-chief should still remember that some time ago, the North China Front of the Japanese Army said that we used poison gas bombs and threatened to use poison gas bombs in China without restrictions, right?"

The commander frowned and replied, "I remember, Lao Jiang also sent me several telegrams at that time. Let me hand over the regimental commander to him, and use the regimental leader's head to extinguish the devil's anger. At that time, I directly pushed him back, even if our people made mistakes, it was our own punishment, and it was not his turn for an outsider to interfere! ”

"Besides, why should only devils use gas bombs? This is in China, if the battlefield is in Japan and we have gas bombs in our hands, I also want to let the little devils taste the taste of gas bombs! ”

Speaking of this, the commander suddenly reacted, then stared at the commander-in-chief and asked, "Wouldn't that regiment commander be the current Arsenal Director Wang Ping?" ”

"I remember that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army gave him a demotion, why did he return to the regimental level!"

"It's Lao Nie!" The commander-in-chief explained.

Lao Nie took a fancy to him and sent several telegrams to the headquarters asking him to stay. Our deputy commander-in-chief really has no choice but to agree! ”

"I didn't expect that this Wang Ping is not only very good at leading troops to fight, but also so good at engaging in military industry and building an arsenal!"

The commander was well aware of the enormous impact of Wang Ping's unauthorized use of poison gas bombs.

After frowning and thinking for a full minute, he still couldn't think of a solution, so he could only answer helplessly: "Wang Ping is indeed a talent, and he is also an old Red Army, an old revolutionary!" I saw Lao Nie's battle report to Yan'an, which listed Wang Ping as the first meritorious. At that time, I also studied this Wang Ping, who was a good hand at leading troops, fighting wars, engaging in logistics, and even engaging in economy. It's just that I was in a hurry to solve the poison gas matter at that time, and I forgot his name! ”

At this time, the deputy commander spoke: "This also proves a sentence, gold shines everywhere!" ”

Then the conversation changed and continued: "However, even if Wang Ping has made mistakes, it cannot deny his merits!" ”

"If this Wang Ping is the head of the independent regiment, we should reward him even more!"

"Commander, you don't know, the chicken raising method that Lao Nie reported was proposed by Wang Ping, after experiments, it is completely feasible, and now we are vigorously promoting it in Yan'an, and we have built a lot of chicken farms ourselves!"

"As long as the chickens in these farms start laying eggs, it will be tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of eggs a day. In addition to eating ourselves, we can also sell it to the Central Army through commercial trafficking to the Kuomintang to make Lao Chiang's money and increase our funds! ”

"I roughly calculated, the chicken farm will continue to expand at this rate, and by the end of the year, we can get at least 1,000 oceans of income through the chicken farm every day, which is more than 300,000 yuan a year, which is more than the military expenses given to us by Lao Jiang! ）”

"What's more, this is only the income of one place in Yan'an, counting all the base areas controlled by our Eighth Route Army, that income is even more!"

"With that method of raising chickens alone, we will reward him again!" The deputy commander-in-chief, who has always been mild-mannered, rarely speaks so resolutely!

The commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief had a look of embarrassment directly on their faces!
