An hour later, the Taiyuan Overseer's Mansion.

"Davaris, I'm glad you can still have the same wine as before."

"But I'm so sorry, I have to be a spoiler today. Conscience and the sense of duty of a soldier have been tormenting my spirit, and they will not allow me to continue to sink. ”

"My homeland is being ravaged by the enemy, and my compatriots are being ravaged by the flames of war. You can understand how I'm feeling right now, right? ”

Lao Cui's words made the entire restaurant fall silent in an instant.

All of you here are well-known figures in the Eighth Route Army, and naturally they all know the current situation on the Eastern Front in Europe. To put it mildly, the north is like a candle in the wind, and no one knows what will happen next.

As if to take care of the mood of the allies, and also to avoid an impasse in the atmosphere on the spot, the deputy general staff said in time:

"Comrade Cui, our Eighth Route Army is well aware of the current situation in the north. The purpose of inviting you to Taiyuan this time is to discuss the specific content of the lease plan in person. ”

"Since we don't have the intention of socializing at the moment, let's go straight to the shooting range now."

"All the weapons in service in our army are at your disposal, and you can ensure that you can submit a perfect report and experience to your superiors afterwards."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Cui suddenly came to his senses, and his whole complexion was a little better.

The current Eighth Route Army is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, and they already have the potential to reach the top of the world in some fields.

If the other side sincerely sells his kidney to aid the Soviet Union, then the war situation in the motherland will inevitably take a new turn for the better, and there will even be an opportunity to concentrate forces on some battlefields to achieve a reversal.

"Good! Let's go. ”

"I will definitely cherish this opportunity and seriously experience every standard weapon of your army!"

Hearing this, the deputy general staff nodded. He first instructed the guards to prepare the car, and then called a messenger to contact Huang He.

The rest of the trip will involve a variety of weapons, and it is only natural that a professional will be in charge of introducing them. This candidate is none other than the director of the Bureau of Weapons Experiments and Research.

When Lao Cui came to the gate of the Overseer's Mansion, he saw the Yellow River that had been waiting for a long time.

"Huang, I never thought that we could meet in Taiyuan. When you were in the mountain town, Makarov often told your story! ”

"Truth be told, everyone underestimates what you're capable of. For any force, a good scientist is more powerful than three infantry divisions. The loss of you is the greatest loss of the 2nd Special Design Bureau since its inception. ”

Well?

Lao Cui's opening remarks made everyone present have questions. Even the party in Huanghe didn't expect that the old Maozi in front of him actually knew himself.

But when I think about it, this matter is actually traceable.

This senior army general and Makarov both participated in the Soviet-Finnish Winter War two years ago. Coupled with the fact that the latter once served as the top head of the transport team, the work and life of the two will inevitably be social.

Not to mention the fact that every researcher who works in the 2nd Special Design Bureau will leave a file and a photo when he joins the company.

With Lao Cui's identity and status, it is not too easy to get someone's personal information.

After a moment, Huang He took the other party's hand and said:

"Haha, Mr. Cui has won the award. I'm just a helpless researcher, how can I compare to three infantry divisions. ”

"By the way, do you have any news about Makarov? I have been cut off from him since we last met, after all, communication during the war years was really not guaranteed. ”

Faced with the problem of the Yellow River, this army general with a particularly long name could only respond with a wry smile.

"I don't know either, if it had been arranged, he would have held his own retirement ceremony in Smolensk."

"But as you know now, my homeland has been forced to start a national mobilization because the enemy's offensive is too fierce."

"A battle-hardened veteran like Makarov will definitely be recalled by his original unit. As for whether he will become a recruit trainer or a reserve officer, it depends on the specific arrangements of the war zone. ”

Although Huang He was mentally prepared, it was still a little difficult to accept after hearing the bad news. At this moment, the cruelty of war is vividly reflected.

It seemed that he sensed that there was a problem in the atmosphere, and the deputy general staff came to the rescue in time. He first took the two of them by the arm and got into the car, and then diverted the topic and said:

"Okay, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and your friends will definitely be safe."

"Let's go, the range is ready. Let's go back quickly, time is of the essence now. ”

"Good!"

······

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the weapons test site located southwest of Taiyuan.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lao Cui was fascinated by all kinds of infantry equipment. He trotted to the firing position and couldn't wait to grab a pistol.

"This should be the French Mas35, I really didn't expect your Eighth Route Army to have this kind of out-of-print goods. In terms of appearance and feel alone, it is not inferior to the TT-33 at all. ”

"Good start! Coming to Taiyuan must be the wisest choice in my life! We are short of pistols! ”

The MAS35 is a new piece of equipment unlocked by the Yellow River through the system, which draws on the advantages of Browning in its design concept, and is a full-fledged semi-automatic self-defense weapon.

As we all know, Maozi has an incomprehensible obsession with pistols and revolvers, which is why the headquarters uses it to take the lead.

Hearing Lao Cui's words, both the deputy general staff and Huang He couldn't help frowning.

It stands to reason that the north, as a powerful country with strong industrial strength, cannot have a shortage of basic equipment itself, after all, they determine the lower limit of an army to some extent.

Taking advantage of the allies' test guns, the two came to the pavilion on the side.

"Yellow River, it seems that we still underestimated the brutality of the battlefield on the Eastern Front in Europe. I never expected that their shortage of guns would be so serious. ”

"It's not a good thing to say, but our chance has come! Are you confident in the finale's gear? ”

In fact, the lack of guns and equipment in the north was mainly concentrated in the early stage of the war.

Due to the speed of the German three-way advance, the three military regions lost a large amount of basic equipment in 1941. In a sense, now is the best time to do so.

Hearing the deputy general staff officer's inquiry, Huang He nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, what I've prepared this time is all the right medicine. With Lao Cui's eyes, he must be able to perceive the value of these treasures. (End of chapter)
