Major Kornilov said: "During this period, as the workers have become more skilled, the production speed has been very fast. About 150 units can be produced per week. We now have 270 units in hand. According to the staff's instructions,
According to the plan, fifty of them will be allocated to you first, each of which can be equipped with thirty rounds of artillery shells. The problem is that the production quantity of artillery shells is far from insufficient."
Song Biao said: "This number is far from enough. I want to install one door in each row. Therefore, I need at least two hundred doors."
Major Kornilov said: "If there is enough time, I can provide you with your plan in just two weeks, but I suggest that you allocate one hundred and five for the time being, because the first few batches are at the production level.
The surface is very rough. In fact, even if there are cannons, they are useless because the production progress of the cannonballs is very bad. I can do something here and find a way to send you more cannonballs."
Song Biao smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Major Kornilov said: "This is also for myself. My mission here has been completed, and the Kornilov mortar design has been finalized. Two days ago, I just talked with Colonel Madnidov
However, I will report to your division headquarters at the end of next week and continue to be responsible for leading the First Infantry Regiment in the Far East. I may be promoted to lieutenant colonel. This is something that the Commander-in-Chief personally promised me. Considering my
Qualifications, and my performance in the Heigoutai battle, this is also normal. Even if it is a late promotion, I still feel very happy, don't you?"
Song Biao smiled and patted his arm, saying: "Then we really need to celebrate."
He is now more and more certain that Kornilov is the supreme commander of the Russian army who carried out the February Revolution. Man, it is such a strange world. He always feels that people's fate is so amazing. How could he
I don't even think that such a person can serve as the supreme commander of the Russian army.
Perhaps it can only be said that the world has never been fair. Just as an extremely mediocre person like Grussi could become a French marshal and led to the defeat of Waterloo, Kornilov is not a person without talent.
However, he took control of the military power at the wrong time, and was easily defeated by the attack of the Soviet Guards. He did not show any talents that a military commander should possess.
Of course, for China, it is a happy thing that such a person can become the commander-in-chief of the Russian army. If a smart person like Lieutenant Colonel Martos becomes the commander-in-chief, it will be a real trouble.
In terms of Lieutenant Colonel Martos' talents, even though Song Biao had many special advantages, he did not feel that he was sure that he could defeat Martos in a battle of the size of an army group.
There are always geniuses in this world, especially military geniuses, but some geniuses are born in a suitable country, while others are born in the most deceptive country.
Fortunately, Martos was a Pole and had no chance of being promoted in the Russian army. This was extremely lucky.
Although they only got along briefly for a few days, Song Biao had already made up his mind that Lieutenant Colonel Martos was the talent he really wanted to poach from the Russian army. Others such as Denikin and Kornilov
, Samsolov, Madnidov, Sheyenysky and others...are really just general, and even a little unworthy of being promoted to this level. Brusilov is purely a tall guy out of a short guy.
.
In just one debate, Song Biao could see that the actual level of General Alexei Alexeyevich Brusilov, who was promoted by the Russians, was nothing more than this. This was still a Russian military officer school.
First of all, the principal does not have a level higher than other generals in theory, and the overall quality of the Russian army generals at all levels can be seen.
Talking about soldiers alone, the vast majority of Russian soldiers are illiterate and have not received complete military training. Their only specialties are roughness and bravery, simple minds, and easy to obey orders.
Like the second lieutenant Tonokov whom Song Biao first came into contact with, the one who would rather stay in the Balichuan Patrol as an instructor than return to serve in the Russian army was actually a minority. The most dramatic thing is that this second lieutenant also belongs to the aristocracy.
He was born into a slightly declining small aristocratic class. He received a complete education and graduated from the Kazan Infantry Officer School.
The army relied on peasants to fight the war, the non-commissioned officers were greedy for life and fearful of death, and the generals were of low quality. This was the army of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
The more Song Biao knew about the Russian army, the less he felt that the Russian army had anything to fear. What was shameful was that such a country could expand to such a vast area. It was really hard to explain.
Why?
Song Biao really didn't understand. If he really wanted to draw a conclusion, it would be that this country is extremely good at bullying the weak and shying away from the strong, and would blackmail anyone who was weaker than him to death.
Song Biao was very interested in this temporary arsenal of the Russian army. He vaguely felt that he might be able to take it down after the war, so he became more and more interested in visiting it and even went into battle to operate the milling machine himself.
As he expected, the lathe was an authentic French product, with a very exquisite and unique design, but it was quite troublesome to operate.
Machine tools in the steam engine era were actually more annoying and cumbersome than in the electric motor era, because the power system itself had huge vibrations. How to eliminate this vibration was the biggest headache for engineers in this era, until the emergence of rubber transmission belts.
After Song Biao operated this French lathe, he felt that it was very labor-saving. I wonder if the French people have no sense of strength. The overall operation is relatively light, but it is very cumbersome and there are too many operating steps and procedures.
He personally feels that there is absolutely no need for these, including the clamps and turning tool screws, which can be improved again. How to improve them specifically, I'm sorry... That is really the category of academic masters in this century, and it is not something that a second-rater like him can play well.
Song Biao estimated that even if he became the ruler of China immediately, it would take ten years to catch up with the development of the lathe industry. It would still be the result of ten years of slowly exploring from the basics. If he could completely catch up, at least
It will take thirty years.
The temporary arsenal also has two small metallurgical furnaces, which are mainly used to resmelt and forge old scrap iron and copper. They are not real steel plants, but these two small metallurgical furnaces are very attractive to Song Biao.
The more he saw it, the more he liked it, and he decided to keep this small factory.
After visiting the Changling Arsenal, Song Biao followed Major Kornilov's suggestion and first received 125 mortars according to the distribution plan of the Far East Army Staff Headquarters and transported them back to Zhujiatun.
Each infantry company detached a separate squad as a separate support squad, equipped with two mortars.
Although the number of mortars is not enough, they must first be organized according to this scale and select a group of Russian soldiers with higher quality for professional training.!~!
