Wang Wenwu continued: "In fact, the government has always strongly advocated the Gregorian New Year, but in fact, it is always the Lunar New Year that plays the leading role. The Gregorian New Year is more present in government activities. On the day of the Gregorian New Year, the heads of various government departments, the living Buddha of NMG, and the senior generals of the army will personally send congratulations to the president! Sun Muen said: "Although the "Declaration" says that the Lunar New Year is an ugly phenomenon, I don't think the Lunar New Year is an ugly phenomenon. Shu Jinxi said: "Celebrating the Gregorian New Year is a scientific and advanced custom, and on the contrary, it is an old custom that makes the country stand still." Like the Spring Festival, Chinese characters are also seen as representatives of the old culture. Many people I know think that in order to save China, sweeping away Chinese characters is also a step that must be completed. Mr. Qian and President Cai of Peking University are both supporters of the abolition of Chinese characters! Yin Dong Goro Bingwei said: "In fact, people of insight in China know that China's non-reform politics and universal education are not enough to survive in the world. However, when it comes to universal education, there is a problem that is difficult to recognize, difficult to remember, difficult to write, the meaning is not accurate enough, and it cannot keep up with the times. Wang Wenwu said: "You think that the difficulty of writing and memorizing Chinese characters has affected the promotion of national education. You are taking it for granted, you say that Chinese characters are just a pure writing tool, as if they have no essential connection with the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization. Chinese characters are inextricably linked with the history of the Chinese nation, and the history and culture of the Chinese nation can be disseminated through Chinese characters! Yin Dong Goro Bei said: "It is really difficult to recognize, remember and write Chinese characters!" Shu Jinxi said: "When we left, the British philosopher and thinker Bertrand Arthur William Russell accepted the invitation of Professor Fu Tong of BJ University to give a lecture in China for a year, and when he left China, it was about the same time as we came to France. Sun Muen asked, "Then has his book been published?" ”

"It should be published, but he is British, and I don't know if there will be a French version!" Wang Wenwu said: "Russell publishes professional books, and the China issue is not a hot topic for Western society, and I don't think even school libraries will have them. If you want, you should go to the UK! Sun Muen thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go to the UK tomorrow to buy it back!" Shu Jinxi said: "This Chinese New Year, what to go to the UK, there is nothing to do later!" ”

"But I'm curious, what will he write in the book?"

"It's not bad for this time!"

"Well, listen to you!" Later, I thought it was a performance, and I said a lot about the difference between the Japanese New Year and this New Year.

However, in Wang Wenwu's view, the biggest difference is that Japanese people usually eat Nianyue しそば on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the slender soba noodles symbolize longevity.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, dumplings are generally eaten in northern China. Everyone stayed together for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and Shu Jinxi begged Sun Muen that if Russell's book really came out, he must bring a copy to himself, and in the days that followed, it calmed down again.

Wang Wenwu also began to prepare to return to China, this time because the cost was much more than last time, so it took a lot of time to prepare the goods.

Before World War I, Germany's dye production accounted for eighty percent of the world's output, and the First World War made it impossible for Germany to supply products to many countries, which prompted these countries to establish their own industries and confiscate the property of German manufacturers' subsidiaries in hostile countries as well as German patents.

Since the equipment and raw materials for the production of explosives and tar dyes were the same, the United States established a large-scale explosives industry during the war, and after the war, these factories switched to the production of dyes.

Three years before the Republic of China, dyes in the United States were still supplied by Germany. Since Germany was saddled with huge war reparations after the war and also used gold as a form of payment, Germany simply did not have any money left over as foreign exchange reserves and imported industrial raw materials.

The foreign exchange in Wang Wenwu's hands is very popular with German companies, but there are not so many raw materials in German factories, so Wang Wenwu still needs to wait for a while.

Wang Wenwu returned to France, hoping to find a pistol in an unclaimed warehouse, pistols are more expensive than rifles in the market everywhere, when Wang Wenwu was in China, he saw someone holding a short barrel of a 38-type rifle, because the butt of the 38-type rifle is a two-stage butt made of pine wood through mortise and tenon and hinge, it will inevitably crack after a long time, so there will always be some butts that will eventually fall off, if it happens that the butt also falls off, and the barrel is also damaged, then it is easy to think of removing the butt and sawing the short barrel, When one

"Short gun" used. This weapon, known abroad as an obrez, is a high-powered melee weapon by cutting the barrel of a rifle and sawing the butt short or simply sawing it off.

At the end of Tsarist Russia to the early period of Soviet Russia, whether it was the Red Army or

The "anti-rebellion" personnel were also the White Army and the rich bandits, and they all used obrez extensively. However, everyone knows that pistols are valuable, and they are not easy to hold like rifles, so I didn't see pistols in several warehouses.

But it was not that he did not find good things, Wang Wenwu found several SMW mortars that France had seized from Germany, which were still five times the diameter of the barrel and had a caliber of 250 mm late heavy mortars.

And because of the low muzzle velocity, the shell shell can be made thinner, which allows this matching 97 kg shell to hold more explosives than ordinary shells of the same caliber, and the destructive power is even comparable to that of a 305 mm heavy howitzer.

Compared to the 240 mm heavy mortars that the French were equipped with at the time, they weighed only three-fifths of the former, and the 240 mm heavy mortars had to be disassembled and transported, and then spent 40 minutes assembling on a foundation reinforced with wooden piles before they could be fired.

The SMW mortar only needs a carriage to tow for maneuvering, and it only needs to find a suitable position when firing, and it does not require tedious preparation in advance at all, and its flexibility is much higher than that of its French counterpart.

It's just that there are not many shells in the warehouse, and the storage can be said to be unmanaged, and I don't know how many of these shells can be used, and I don't know if they are damp.

The primer detonator of the shell is the most afraid of moisture, and the initiator charge is very sensitive, and after being damp, it will not be able to ignite the propellant, and the shell will lose its effect.
