Seeing that the spearhead was pointed at him, Xie Wancheng smiled and took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

"Hurry up and leave tomorrow, this is a list of leave from the camp for business, and the ticket has been bought."

Good guy, I'm prepared.

Zhou Changfeng was a little speechless, "You are very well prepared...... We can't go, so go back and get married. ”

As he spoke, he went back to the house and tinkered with it, and when he came out, he handed it over with a red envelope.

Xie Wancheng, who smiled, took it and pinched it, "The money given by the battalion commander is more than that given by others when you touch it." ”

"Let's go, go pack your luggage, I'll telegraph if there's anything urgent."

"Yes."

The 1st Battalion is not an independent unit, and as part of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the burial ceremony of the fallen soldiers naturally has to wait for the return of the large army, and this aspect cannot be carried out alone.

Counting the missing, more than 180 people were lost in the first battle, and a considerable number of the injured were left with lifelong disabilities, what will happen to their families?

Even if a war is just and justified, it is still a cruel reality.

The responsibility and psychological burden of a commander is not small, and in many cases it is almost equivalent to assigning soldiers to their deaths.

It's not easy to be a good commander, and it's even harder to be good. It's easy to say that Ci is not in charge of soldiers, but when you put yourself in your shoes, you want to be truly ruthless but extremely difficult.

In this regard, Zhou Changfeng only hopes that he can have a clear conscience.

Early the next morning, when he received the morning report of that day, he reluctantly found that the heat of the press conference two days ago had not yet passed, and the matter of his sharp refutation on stage was still being talked about by people today.

Like people, newspapers have their own positions, whether they are left-sided, right-sided, or neutral.

On the border war, the press conference that day seemed to push the contradiction of views to a climax, and several newspapers attacked each other and published editorials supporting their views.

"Tut-tut, the literati's pen is also ruthless enough."

Seeing an editorial in the "Imperial Chronicle" attacking the "Jiangnan Minbao" with extremely tricky and vicious words, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but be speechless.

The former is on the right and the latter is on the left, and it is not a day or two that they attack each other and have a war of words.

It's actually very interesting to watch them spray each other, just like the people who eat melons in later generations watch several groups of people tear each other apart.

After enjoying this big play, Zhou Changfeng, who was satisfied, took out the document envelope, and after leaving the room, he beckoned Xiao Li to drive.

After repeated refinements of several hollow-charge munitions that had been drawn earlier, he decided to hand over the design directly to the arsenal.

Let's get the results first, and it's clear at a glance.

If it is submitted to the Ordnance Bureau first, it is equivalent to going through a complete process, including - reviewing whether it is suitable - discussing whether to adopt the trial production - issuing orders to the arsenal - organizing trial production and testing - reporting the results.

Although this is the most formal, I am afraid that the complete process will not be completed in half a year.

Zhou Changfeng naturally wanted to see the results as soon as possible, so he chose an informal approach.

Historically, the same was true of Skinnai, the designer of the Bazooka bazooka. He was asked to participate in a project to "assess the value of rockets as a new weapon," but despite the difficulties of lack of financial support, Skinnay and his assistants were able to complete the design of an early bazooka.

Just as he was struggling with the lack of a suitable warhead to penetrate the armor, hollow charge technology flowed into the United States, which undoubtedly fit perfectly with rockets. However, no one paid attention to such a new weapon at the time, and Skinnay's design was in danger of being stillborn.

Finally, during a test of anti-tank grenades organized at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Skinnay noticed that many high-ranking officers had been invited to visit, so he took it upon himself to take a prototype of an early bazooka and fired it at a series of tanks as demonstration targets, which immediately attracted the interest of the generals.

The generals also rushed to test the launch, and thus, with the support of a group of senior officers, the bazooka was quickly modified and finalized without bureaucratic procrastination and red tape, and then put into mass production.

Just like a child thinking about his toys, in order to see the results of his works as soon as possible, Zhou Changfeng came to the "Jinling" arsenal with a document envelope.

Its official name is Yingtian First Army Arsenal, which is subordinate to the Ordnance Bureau.

In ancient times, the Ordnance Bureau was originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, with one ambassador and two deputy envoys. In modern times, when the imperial court office was greatly changed, the Ordnance Bureau was transferred to the Ministry of War, responsible for the management of the national military industry of the Ming Dynasty.

In the history of the world where the perimeter wind was located, the Jinling Arsenal is located outside the Zhonghua Gate, that is, the Jubao Gate, adjacent to the Great Bao'en Temple.

Nowadays, it is not the case, the site of the Daming Yingtian Arsenal is more south, next to the Fengtai Gate of Waiguo City, and the factory area is very large.

After explaining his intentions, a staff member led Zhou Changfeng into the factory and drove northeast after getting on a motorcycle.

Why take a motorcycle? Because it's too big.

"How big is this arsenal? When I drove here before, it felt like both blocks were factory blocks. Zhou Changfeng saw that several trucks were unloading next to him, and there were even small trains and railroad tracks in the distance.

The clerk replied: "The new and old factories add up to more than 8,000 acres, and the whole factory has nearly 50,000 employees." ”

Eight thousand acres? Qingbei, which is known as boundless, is only 6 or 7,000 acres, and Foxconn's more than 1,000 acres is too small compared to it.

Generally speaking, a factory area larger than 500 acres is already very difficult to walk, 8,000 acres... Don't you have to tire people to death when commuting to work?

So the staff introduced the factory staff shuttle bus and the small train to Zhou Changfeng.

There are supporting transportation facilities between the main factories in the factory area, and 800mm narrow gauges are specially laid to transport raw materials and finished products by small trains.

In terms of appearance, the so-called old factory area is easy to distinguish, the traditional Chinese architecture of the factory here is obvious, the roofs are all overhanging hilltops, the walls are also brick walls, and the area of each factory is not large.

However, the new factory area is quite large, with a steel structure and a roof of aluminum alloy sheets. Except for some Chinese ornamentation, it is a completely modern industrial building.

Eventually, the motorcycle stopped in the administrative office area, and the building here returned to the Chinese style - although the exterior is white walls and tiles, and the corners and cornices are actually brick and concrete structures on the inside.

After passing through the wall, there were several three- and four-story buildings, and Zhou Changfeng was brought in, and after explaining his intention again, he was invited to a nearby room to wait for the time being.

After the herbal tea was delivered, no one came again, as if it had been forgotten, and it took more than a quarter of an hour before someone finally pushed the door in.
