Chapter 109 Anchor Mine and Rifle

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be startled when he heard Director Chen's words. This was a naked poaching of people in front of their director!

Although the Eighteenth Army is not a German weapon master, it is definitely not bad. It is not only Director Chen's starting force, but also the absolute elite of the Central Army at this time.

What's more, Director Chen is not only willing to recruit people from all over the world, but also likes to actively recommend and support the people he values. Although he is suspected of being a clique and creating factions, he has indeed gathered a large number of capable people for the Kuomintang.

Talented people.

Director Chen has obviously understood that Qin Chuan just pretended to be confused and was trying to guide him to tell him the most likely landing place of the Japanese army. In this way, he would not take credit for his subordinates and was willing to give his boss a pat on the back. Director Chen

If they don't like it, they don't even care about the face of their director, and they will directly send him, a young captain officer, to study at the University of China.

Mainland University is not an ordinary university. It is the highest institution for the Kuomintang to train high-level military talents. It is famous for its difficulty in taking the exam, which is known as the "iron threshold". For example, in the 17th year of the Republic of China, more than 20 people from the Second Army participated.

Only nine people were admitted to the exam. Yang Botao, who later served as the commander of the 18th Army, took the exam three times in a row before entering the 14th phase of Mainland University last year. Its strictness is evident.

If you can win the favor of a high-level figure in the Kuomintang like Director Chen, and have the golden brand of mainland China, you will have a bright future in the military. Even becoming a general is not an extravagant hope. There will definitely be a comparison.

The Secret Service has a much better future, and Qin Chuan is definitely tempted.

Qin Chuan glanced at their director and saw that although their face was slightly embarrassed, there was no other obvious expression.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly admire the director's calmness. Director Chen obviously did not take his feelings into consideration. To put it more bluntly, this kind of behavior did not take him, the director of the Secret Service and the chairman's confidant, seriously.

And the director can actually act neither happy nor angry. Such a city is definitely hard to find.

Minister Song obviously couldn't stand Director Chen's behavior of recruiting people. After all, he was the master here. Minister Song glanced at the director and said to Director Chen with a smile, "Brother Shi Sou, it's a bit inappropriate for you to recruit people so blatantly."

That's right! Hou Pu, Director Yu, and I are all thinking about this little brother Cheng Ji, and they are all before you."

Director Chen, also known as Shi Sou.

Director Chen said with some astonishment, "What does Captain Qin have to do with your Ministry of Finance, Navy, and Ordnance Industry Administration?"

Minister Song naturally has a hard time talking about his relationship with the Ministry of Finance. Only the Chairman and his wife know about this matter. It would be unpleasant to spread the word. Even if the money is ultimately spent on various expenses of the Kuomintang, there is still no way to tell it.

Suspicion of people's wealth.

Minister Song turned to look at Navy Commander Chen. Commander Chen glanced at Qin Chuan with a smile on his face and said to Director Chen, "Our special water..."

Seeing that Commander Chen was hesitant to speak, Director Chen understood what Commander Chen meant and hurriedly said, "If the Chief of Staff is absolutely reliable and understands the rules of confidentiality in the military, Commander Chen can just say it."

I heard that the surname of the Major General Chief of Staff of the 14th Division was Guo, which once again confirmed Qin Chuan's guess that this Major General Chief of Staff was the person in his memory.

Director Chen then said, "Brother Houpu, I know about the special mine. Does it have anything to do with Captain Qin?"

Commander Chen nodded and said, "Yes, our special mine was secretly developed by the Ordnance Industry Administration based on Captain Qin's idea and his sketch."

Director Yu also smiled and nodded, "That's it. This kind of mine is unique in the world. We are the only ones who have this kind of thing. It can be said that we are at the forefront of the world in terms of mines."

Although Director Chen knew that the Ordnance Industry Administration had developed this special mine, he did not know the ins and outs of this special mine. At this time, he was even more surprised to hear that it was designed and manufactured based on Qin Chuan's idea and even a sketch he drew.

Even Director Zhou and Chief of Staff Guo of the Aviation Commission looked at Qin Chuan in surprise. Only Major General Yu kept a calm expression and just kept writing down something in his little notebook.

After several people said this, Director Chen not only did not give up the idea of ​​recruiting people, but became even more enthusiastic. He looked at the director and said, "Brother Chunfeng, Captain Qin is a great talent. Putting such talents in your Secret Service is a loss for the Kuomintang."

, and in your secret service, if you want to be promoted to general, you don’t have to wait until when, you should leave him to me, we can’t bury the talent!”

The director himself is still a colonel. If Qin Chuan wants to reach the rank of major general in the Secret Service, he really doesn't know how many years it will take.

In response to Director Chen's straightforward words, the director did not get angry and said with a smile, "Director Chen, Cheng Ji's work in our department is very special and cannot be replaced by others. He has made many achievements. This is what he has accomplished in less than half a year."

The reason why he was promoted to captain within a short period of time, and even when he was promoted from second lieutenant to captain, both times were specially approved by the chairman of the committee."

Although Director Chen is a lieutenant general and the division chief is just a colonel, in front of Director Chen, the division chief still behaves neither humble nor overbearing, without giving in at all. Moreover, everyone can understand the meaning of his words, that is, this Qin Chuan

You can't just take him away if you want. This is someone who has registered with the Chairman.

Director Chen snorted lightly and glanced at Major General Yu who was keeping his head down and writing something down in his notebook, as if he wanted to continue talking.

Minister Song hurriedly looked at Navy Commander Chen. Commander Chen coughed lightly and changed the subject and said, "Director Chen, what you are saying is that the most likely location for the Japanese army to land is Jinshan Guard. If that is the case, it will be much easier to handle.

, once the war starts, our navy will only lay mines at Jinshanwei. The number of mines required is not large, and we can definitely do it."

Before Director Chen could speak, Director Yu suddenly asked, "Captain Qin, it's not a big problem if this kind of anchor mine is deployed in an inland river with high turbidity like the Yangtze River. But if it is deployed in clearer offshore waters, will it be easily

Find out how to solve this problem."

Qin Chuan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yu, in fact, although this kind of mine is called an anchor mine, it does not require a collision to detonate, so it can completely cancel the mooring chain and sit on the bottom of the water. I don't know how to explode like this."

Is it powerful enough?"

"Okay! This is a good idea!" Director Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"We can increase the charge of the anchor mine. As long as it doesn't sink too deep, the huge water pressure generated by the explosion will be enough to tear the ship apart."

Qin Chuan suddenly thought of a question and said hurriedly, "Sir Yu, I checked the information. The Japanese Type 38 rifle is 1.27 meters long. With the bayonet installed, the length reaches 1.66 meters. It should be longer than our rifles.

If it is longer, our soldiers will suffer a loss when soldiers from both sides are fighting."

Regarding the issue of rifle length, after the Anti-Japanese War began, through the response of grassroots troops, the domestic rifles were improved by lengthening the bayonet. Taking advantage of the presence of Director Yu of the Ordnance Industry Administration, and the Major General Yu who had been recording, Qin Chuan also suspected that he was

If you report it to the chairman's attendant's office in front of these people, I'm afraid this problem can be solved quickly.

Director Chen interjected, "Yes, during the Central Plains War, both the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Northwest Army were equipped with some Japanese-style 38-type rifles. They were indeed a bit long and gave them some advantages in stabbing."

Director Yu nodded and said, "One of the characteristics of the Japanese Type 38 rifle is its length. Our mid-level rifle is only 1.11 meters long, which is indeed shorter than the Type 38 rifle. However, this problem is difficult to solve. We need to adapt it to the standard.

Weapon parameters must be submitted to the chairman for approval."

Director Chen waved his hand and said, "Director Yu, this is a big deal. Once a battle breaks out, hand-to-hand combat with bayonets is unavoidable. As the saying goes, 'An inch long is an inch strong.' Our soldiers' stabbing skills are probably not as good as those of the Japanese army.

We can't let them suffer any more losses on weapons. You can write a report when you get back, and I will submit it jointly to the chairman of the committee for approval."
