"Anyway, we've at least taken the first step from scratch!"

"In the past, we could only import firearms, and we had to scrape together to repair firearms, not to mention bullets, but now, we have taken the first step!"

"With the first step, there will be a second step, a third step!"

It can be seen that Kikwete is very happy, and even his dark skin is excited, which leads to a feeling of redness in the dark.

Regarding Kikwete's statement, Old Quill nodded vigorously and said:

"That's right, General, you're right!"

"Now that we have mastered the production and assembly of firearm parts, we will be able to produce barrels and then complete guns as long as we have the equipment in the future!"

"As for the bullets, we can buy them in the neighboring countries, anyway, their shells are useless, we buy them back at a low price, and then sell them after reloading, as long as we can grow bigger, the profits are still very considerable, and we can train a lot of skilled workers!"

Hearing the words of old Quiel, Kikwete seemed to have thought of that picture, the whole East African region, no! It's the whole of Africa, where you can see rudimentary rifles made in Tanzania, as well as reloaded bullets!

That's also a good income for Tanzania now!

More importantly, there are countless countries and armed groups large and small in Africa, and the vast majority of them have no way to buy guns and ammunition directly from foreign countries, and can only buy goods from the black market at a higher price from second-hand arms dealers, which are of poor quality, small quantity, and expensive.

If Tanzania can supply these products more sufficiently in the future, it will be equivalent to having a certain influence and voice on the entire African situation!

At its simplest, the two tribes are fighting, and if the ammunition is only sold to A and not to B, then the B tribe will soon fall into decline and end up being eaten cleanly.

"Excellent! Very good! Old Quiel, you will be responsible for the future expansion of production, and you will cooperate with Old Quill to recruit manpower. ”

"There is only one requirement, and that is to be reliable!"

Finally, Kikwete nodded and said, and immediately Maha and Old Quill hurriedly said:

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Then Kikwete remembered something, and quickly asked:

"By the way, didn't my friend write me a letter or something?"

"Didn't he say anything about how we will work together in the future?"

Hearing this, Old Quill looked at Mulha next to him, and then kicked him directly, while scolding with a smile:

"Idiot! Didn't you show the general Mr. Wang Ye's letter? ”

"Get it out! Hurry up! ”

Obviously, he was taking revenge for the armpit attack just now, but it was a pity that he was thin and dry, and Muha, who had been kicked, looked immobile at all, and quickly took out the letter and said with a smile:

"I was so excited, General! This is a letter from Mr. Wang Ye to you. ”

Kikwete took it and took a look, and it was indeed Wang Ye's handwriting:

"Kikwit, my good friend, hello!"

"First of all, congratulations to all of you, you have finally taken an important step in development, and I think this is a good start, and it marks that Tanzania is about to become prosperous and strong."

"In addition, because of my busy official business, I deeply regret that I couldn't have a long talk in Yanjing."

"But the request you made to me before, I have never forgotten, that is, about cheaper weapons, and finally after careful consideration, what weapons are the most common, the least expensive, and the most needed?"

"That's a gun, of course! All sorts of guns! ”

"However, because of your weak industrial base, it is almost impossible to independently produce guns and bullets now, so I can only take a trick and find a compromise solution, that is, our Red Star Consortium will provide you with the most core parts, and you will produce the rest."

"So, taking the opportunity of this small industry package cooperation, I sent these equipment to you, you have already paid for the equipment, which belongs to the content of the package cooperation, and there are 500 one-meter-long 7.62 mm inner diameter internal relented steel pipes, as well as 50,000 'smashing guns', which belong to the experience I gave you for free."

"Next, please use these experience products, and first produce and test them."

"If you feel good about the finished product, then we can work together for a follow-up cooperation, which is that the price of each one-meter length of internal thread steel pipe is 100 dollars, and you can cut it into different sizes, and in the future, there will be other types of internal thread steel pipes of 5.56 and 9 mm, and the price of each 'smashing cannon' is 10 cents."

"As for the instructions for the prohibition of the operation of the internal rebar pipe, it is at the back of this letter."

"There is also a manual for the prohibition of modifying the 'smashing cannon' for toy guns, which is also behind."

"In addition, with the advancement of our follow-up cooperation, I will also provide you with a large number of prohibited operation instructions for different sizes of internal rebar pipes, at least 20 kinds, which can cover a variety of application scenarios."

After Kikwete finished reading it, the staff next to him had already taken the corresponding things in the letter, his left hand was a silver-gray metal tube, one meter long, with internal threads inside, and his right hand was a brass-colored thing the size of a match head, shaped like a small cup, with some kind of solid substance in it, and it seemed that the manufacturing process was very exquisite.

Obviously, this is the "internal relented steel pipe" and "smashing gun" mentioned in Wang Ye's letter, but the inner diameter of this internal relented steel pipe is just 7.62 mm, and this kind of smashing cannon can just be stuffed into the back of the shell.

"Tut-tut! Barrel and primer? ”

"That's good stuff! I don't know when we will be able to produce autonomously! ”

Looking at the two things in front of him, Kikwete couldn't help but sigh to himself, and then looked at Muha and Old Quill in front of him and said again:

"Actually, I have a question, and I can understand that the inside of the barrel is called an internal steel pipe."

"But why is the primer called a toy gun?"

"What does that mean?"

Faced with Kikwete's doubts, Muha next to him nodded quickly and said:

"General! I know! Allow me to show you! ”

As he spoke, he took out a revolver from his pocket, and in Kikwete's curious gaze, he saw him open the bullet nest, and then Kikwete showed a stunned gaze, because there was no bullet hole in it, but one after another small metal cylinders, and the next second, I saw Muha pick up a primer, put it on the small metal cylinder, close the nest, rotate the position with the primer to the excitation position, and then raised it above his head and pulled the trigger!

"Smack!"

There was a crunch.

In an instant, Kikwete was dumbfounded, and Muha laughed:

"General, does it look like a pistol toy?"

"Sounds funny, doesn't it?"

At that moment, Kikwete had a helpless smile on his face, and the old Quill next to him gave Muha another kick, and couldn't help but curse:

"Damn! We only have 49,998 primers left! ”

Then, Kikwete no longer dwelled on the problem, stretched out his hand and said:

"What about the drawings? Let me see? ”

Hearing Kikwete say this, Old Quill pulled out two pamphlets.

Kikwete opened the first brochure at will, which is a manufacturing design drawing of an automatic rifle with an unusually simple structure, the core of this rifle is the steel tube, and the other structures are very simple, and it is marked in detail, which equipment is used, and the corresponding parts can be produced, and finally these parts must not be assembled by welding, tenoning, insertion, etc., otherwise it will become a contraband gun!

Then Kikwete opened the second booklet, which described in detail the prohibited operations, such as how to use the corresponding equipment to make gunpowder, how to polish, polish, shape, and measure the used cartridge shells, how much gunpowder should be loaded in it, how to install the warhead, and how to install the 'smashing gun', all of which are described, and it is strictly forbidden to operate this way, otherwise it may cause fatal accidental injury!

At that moment, the corners of Kikwete's mouth were even more difficult to press than this steel pipe gun!

"Excellent! Very good! ”

"Presumably you've already seen the drawings old Quill, how about it? Is it difficult to manufacture? ”

"How long does it take to produce the first finished product?"

Finally, Kikwete said with a smile, and old Quill was also full of smiles, pointing to the equipment being transported behind him and said:

"With these devices, it's not too difficult, and it feels like I can do it in a day!"

Hearing the voice of the "chief technologist" of Old Quayle, Kikwette breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said:

"Alright, then you can get to work! Let me take a look. ”

"When the finished product is made, we will test it, and then I will bring it back and show it to Mr. President, the general, and the other generals!"

Subsequently, a group of people walked into the workshop, at this moment the equipment has begun to be arranged, many workers are debugging, and then the old Quill is busy.

Meanwhile.

On January 5, Chinese time, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ye and the convoy finally arrived at the port of Qindao, and after showing the relevant certificates, they entered the port receiving area without hindrance.

Wang Ye, who was sitting in the car, was a little excited.

The reason is very simple, machine tools are the mother of industry, without a strong machine tool, then high-end manufacturing and precision processing industry can not develop, as for the impact on national defense and security, not to mention, even the Soviet Union has to secretly buy nine-axis five-linkage machine tools from Toshiba, it is enough to illustrate the problem.

But it is such an important thing, because of the late start of industrial development in China, and because of the existence of eight cylinders, many years of external closure, follow-up patent barriers, etc., has been a relatively large gap with the world's advanced level, and in the next few decades, in fact, the development of domestic machine tools, can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is technology accumulation and integration.

Time is from now to 2000, because with the reform and opening up, with the development of industry, the demand for machine tools is increasing, the country is also paying more and more attention to the machine tool industry, various units began to invest vigorously and research and development, at the same time in the mid-to-late 90s, followed by the easing of international relations, began to buy some technology and patents from abroad.

The second stage is the climbing, catch-up and outbreak phase.

After the new century, with the gradual rise of its own technology, and because of its accession to the World Trade Organization, the international environment has relaxed a lot again, coupled with the purchase of foreign advanced machine tool technology, the acquisition of machine tool related companies, etc., the domestic multi-axis CNC machine tool has finally achieved a change from scratch.

To put it simply, in fact, in the normal history, in the next 30 years, Huaxia has not purchased the whole five-axis machine tool from a foreign country, until the country itself through technical research, patent purchase, company acquisition, etc., integrated the relevant technology, and manufactured the first domestic five-axis machine tool!

And the reason why I didn't buy it, of course, was not because I didn't want to buy it, but because of the existence of the eight cylinders!

This stage, the duration of ten years, from the new century 00 to 10 years, the country can basically produce a variety of four-axis and five-axis machine tools, but the production and production of good products, can not be equated, this time of the domestic machine tools, although there are, but there are still poor precision, the cutter head is not wear-resistant, short life, short maintenance cycle and many other problems, in other words, Wang Ye often said, from scratch, but not fine!

At the same time, in the domestic market, imported machine tools still occupy more than 80% of the market share.

The third stage is the period of "from existence to refinement", and the time is from the 10 years of the new century to the era when Wang Ye returned.

The characteristics of this era is that the machine tool private enterprises began to rise, and then the overall level of machine tools in China began to move forward step by step, and strive to narrow the gap with the world's advanced level.

Reflecting in the domestic and foreign markets, that is, the proportion of domestic machine tools, which began to increase slowly year by year, and the number of domestic machine tools exported began to increase year by year.

Come to think of it.

Wang Ye let out a long sigh of relief!

Nowadays, the consortium has already gotten these four-axis and five-axis machine tools, its role is unimaginable, it is no exaggeration to say that with the volume of the consortium today, in the case of money and money, coupled with their own manipulation, the domestic machine tool development cycle, at least ten years, or even twenty years is possible!

"Factory director, it's here!"

"Ahead is our preservation area."

Today's consortium, as an important user of Qindao Port, has obtained an exclusive storage area, as an area for storing products, where all products to be sent to foreign countries can be temporarily stored and then loaded together.

Hearing what the staff said, Wang Ye gathered his thoughts, looked out the window, and after bypassing a factory warehouse, his eyes suddenly opened up, with an open-air storage area in front and a warehouse area behind.

At this moment.

Wang Ye had already noticed that in the open-air preservation area, there were already a large number of huge boxes placed there, and it was not difficult to guess from the words printed on it that this was his own machine tool!

However, in the next second, Wang Ye saw an acquaintance!

A few seconds later, the car drove over, and after the car stopped, Wang Ye hurriedly got out of the car, only to see a half-person-high wooden box not far away, sitting on a handsome young woman, who was the daughter of the Mitsui family he had met several times, Mitsui Hui! At this moment, her ear-length hair was flying, her cheeks were red, and it was obvious that the sea breeze was blowing, and it could be guessed that she had been waiting here for a long time.

And all around, there are a large number of consortium staff, who look very vigilant, and completely different from the consortium staff, there are more than a dozen men gathered together in suits, and at first glance the virtue is Japanese, so the scene is very obvious.

"Hey, that's a surprise, Miss Mitsui, why are you here?"

"But why are you sitting on top of my cargo?"

"Hurry down! Slippery point! ”

Although Wang Ye already had some speculation in his heart about her appearance, Wang Ye still strode over, and at the same time made a very disgusted action to drive away, as if her ass had defiled her box, and at the same time, with a smile on her face, she said so harshly.

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the expressions on the faces of more than a dozen Japanese in the cold wind became more and more unsightly, and Megumi Mitsui jumped down from the box with an indifferent look, and said with a sneer:

"It's rude! This is true for you and your men. ”

"We are the after-sales service personnel of the manufacturer you buy the products, your staff does not invite us to sit down, drink a cup of hot tea and eat some snacks to warm up the body, and look like a thief, let us wait in the cold wind for at least an hour, to be honest, I want to turn around and leave now!"

Regarding Mitsui Megumi's statement, Wang Ye's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, we're all rough people."

"And we are a semi-military enterprise, you are foreigners, you appear here normally, you are going to be directly arrested and sent to me, and now they just ask you to wait here, in fact, it is very polite, full of our care for foreign friends, isn't it?"

"And it's not like I said, Miss Mitsui, you can just turn around and leave! Don't you let people go? ”

When the surrounding staff heard Wang Ye say this, they all shook their heads in denial, and then Wang Ye looked at Megumi Mitsui and said with a smile:

"Girls, pay attention to maintenance, otherwise you won't be able to give birth to children!"

"On the seaside in winter, the cold wind is so strong, so Miss Mitsui, why are you waiting here for more than an hour? To be honest, I don't really understand. ”

In the face of Wang Ye's counterattack between words, Mitsui Hui's expression did not change, but he just sneered and said:

"I said Wang Ye, don't you think that without our technicians, you can assemble these machine tools, right? Even if you can assemble it, aren't you afraid of outrageous tolerances? ”

"Or do you think I'm definitely not leaving?"

In this regard, Wang Ye shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile with an indifferent expression:

"Who said that we must use machine tools when we buy them."

"Let's take it back and put it on display, can't we see it as a landscape?"

Hearing this, the staff of the consortium around couldn't help but burst into a low laugh, and the dozen or so Japanese looked even more ugly, looking like they were full of righteous indignation and turned around with anger on their faces and wanted to leave.

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Mitsui Hui was not only not angry, but seemed to have found something interesting, shook his head with a smile and said:

"Hard-mouthed and reckless can be a child's behavior, I don't care about you."

"Find a warm place, be quiet and quiet enough, I have something to talk to you about."

In the end, Mitsui Hui seemed to give up the idea of arguing with Wang Ye and said so, but what she never expected was that Wang Ye didn't eat this set at all, and actually smacked her lips and said:

"Unless you ask me? Otherwise, take your people with you! ”

"These things, I'll pull them back as ornaments!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the expression on Mitsui Hui's face froze, and he seemed to have a new understanding of Wang Ye, and the dozen or so strong men seemed to be burning with anger in their eyes, if it weren't for the group of inch-headed young men next to him, they would have wanted to rush up and beat Wang Ye when they saw it.

"Alright! Count me in for you! ”

Finally, after a few seconds of silence, Mitsui Hui let out a white breath and said with a not very good-looking expression, and Wang Ye's attitude instantly took a 180-degree turn, and he commanded with a smile:

"Find a warm place, ask these gentlemen to rest, give them hot tea and eat biscuits."

"Also, find a confidential place, I'm going to talk to this lady in secret."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the staff next to him got busy, some took the dozen or so Japanese to the duty and security room next to the factory warehouse to rest, and some people took Wang Ye and Mitsui Hui to a warehouse, which is now empty, and above the second floor, there is actually an office or something like that.
