After answering Yang Zhen's request in detail, Xiong Dazhen changed his playful smile and turned serious: "No. 1, the reason why I took my wife with me when I went to the army to stay is because it was definitely not for fun.
There are important reasons for showing off."
"You also know that my wife is an expert in metal materials. I took her with me to the army because I wanted her to hear our army's opinions on the steel used in various weapons and equipment we currently use, and to check the quality of battle-damaged artillery.
The reason for the damage will help us make improvements in material selection."
"No. 1, you know that I majored in physics, not metallurgy. Before I worked in the Northeast and had no contact with the regular military manufacturing industry, I had no idea about the steel used in making weapons. I thought that all steel
They are all the same, and there is no difference. I had no contact with them when I was in college, but when I arrived at the Jizhong Military Region, I had no conditions for contact."
"It wasn't until I came to the North Manchuria base area that I really came into contact with the production of firearms and weapons. I didn't know that the steel used to make train tracks and the steel used to make weapons are actually two different things. The steel used to make guns is fundamentally different from ordinary steel.
Two different kinds of steel.”
"Although I have been too busy during this period, I have learned a lot. I have a better understanding of the military industry, and I have also mastered a lot of knowledge that I have not been exposed to before. It’s just that the more things I know, the more I discover.
The little knowledge I had before is no longer enough."
"Before this battle, you have told me more than once that our military industry is about to face a stage of great development. The size of the army must also continue to expand. We must seize this opportunity and form our own
Modern defense industry."
"I've been thinking that we can't always follow others and rely on others for all sources of raw materials. Now that our steel plant is about to complete construction and is not far away from being put into production, we must master
own production and manufacturing capabilities of military steel."
"My wife is a metal material expert. The reason why I took her with me when I left the army this time was because I wanted to inspect and analyze some battle-damaged weapons on the spot. In addition to the irresistible reasons on the battlefield, is there any metal material aspect?
and the causes of defects in the manufacturing process.”
"Especially the rapid wear of the gun rifling, the rust of gun steel parts, the structural strength of the gun frame and other metal-related things, I need her as an expert to help. Only with detailed first-hand information in this area,
When we produce our own military steel in the future, we will avoid or take fewer detours."
Although Xiong Dazhen's explanation did not satisfy Yang Zhen, he had no choice but to say anything else. His starting point was for work, and he couldn't go on and on indefinitely. He just asked Yang Zhen to praise this guy.
, and he was really a little reluctant.
It's not that Yang Zhen is stingy with praise, it's just that this guy is a person who shines brightly if he is given a little sunshine. This time he took his wife to stay for a while, and this must be part of the reason. But if he said it was all for work, Yang Zhen wouldn't believe it to death.
.Does he, Xiong Dazhen, think others are really that easy to fool?
If it was really all about work, this guy didn't even have a driver, so he drove his Japanese-made Nissan 70-equipped car and took his wife to Wudalianchi for two days. What was he doing there? There was only a military zone there.
There are no garrisons except for the sanatoriums built for the seriously wounded and experts.
The nearest secret weapons testing site is still in the mountains of Xiaoxing'anling, 200 kilometers to the east? Where did he go? It shouldn't be just to test his so-called weapons. This guy took his wife and went to that famous place in later generations.
Anyone who is not a fool can guess why we went to the tourist resort.
Just looking at the sincerity and seriousness on this guy's face, Yang Zhen couldn't say too seriously. He was a scholar, and he had a very strong self-esteem. Even though this guy was joking with him, he was an unruly wild horse. This person's ability was
He was very strong, but his character was also a bit off. Considering this guy's so-called self-esteem, Yang Zhen shook his head and praised him a few words.
After thinking for a while, Yang Zhen said to Xiong Dazhen: "I'm really happy that you can think of this. Thinking about things ahead and thinking more about difficulties will be good for our development. You are in charge of the development of weapons and equipment for the entire army.
When it comes to development, only by thinking ahead can you truly do your job well."
However, seeing this guy with a slightly proud expression on his face after hearing his praise, the words in Yang Zhen's mouth suddenly changed, and the trace of pride on Xiong Dazhen's face disappeared without a trace: "Dog belly
There is no room for two ounces of sesame oil in it. If there is something good, I will take it out right away as if it were a treasure."
"Do you think that according to our current situation, it is appropriate to take out some good things right away? For us now, weapons are still mainly enough, and we are far from having any qualifications to waste them. If you are too showy, you still
How are you going to ask those two wealthy people for something? Besides, if you take out the new ones, will the old equipment with much worse performance still have value?
"Don't just focus on the present, look at the long-term. Sometimes good things are hidden and tucked away. It's not a disadvantage. Don't forget that there is another group of people around us that is even greedier than the Japanese. They are always greedy.
They are all staring at us, hungry bears who are ready to grab a handful of any good thing."
"At present, to deal with the Japanese light bombers, the combination of dual 23mm anti-aircraft guns, dual 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and 14mm anti-aircraft machine guns is enough to meet our field air defense needs. There is no need to use the new high-altitude guns now
Cannon, put into mass production and use."
"What you have to do now is to make technical reserves. As for when it will be produced, I will tell you when needed, but now is not the time. As for the reverse mapping and imitation of the two Japanese artillery, the Type 91 105 howitzer
Stop and don't continue."
"We need to speed up the progress of the Type 92 105 cannon and take advantage of the rare opportunity of these Soviet artillery experts working here to get it out as soon as possible. In addition, except for the Type 94 mountain cannon and this 105 cannon, all
All work on imitation of Japanese artillery has been stopped."
"Now you have to focus your main energy on the two kinds of Soviet-made artillery introduced. However, the imitation work of the Type 92 105 cannon cannot be relaxed. The equipment department's focus is not only on repairing battle-damaged artillery.
Apart from that, the main job is to produce ammunition, especially artillery shells."
"After the meeting, you and Zhang Zhenhua will study it. Make some adjustments to the existing artillery of each unit. Among them, the number of calibers is small, there is no retention value, and the artillery that has obviously fallen behind. All the artillery that should be eliminated will be eliminated.
All the artillery shells involved have been discontinued. We don’t have so many resources to waste on these artillery pieces that are small in number and have no production value.”
"I will see the report on this adjustment plan in a week, as well as your alternative methods. Didn't you go to the troops stationed in the previous stage? So now the grassroots troops have opinions on our firepower allocation, as well as improved reports
What? You've been back for four or five days, why haven't I seen you yet?"
"I'll give you three more days. If I haven't seen this report after three days, Xiong Dazhen, you can decide what to do yourself. You take your wife and use your free time to drive the bus to go sightseeing. I
You can pretend you didn't see it. But if you delay your work, I will skin you."
"The gas expenses for the two days you went to Wudalianchi will be deducted from your allowance next month. I know that you and Zhang Zhenhua are close friends in private, but you two don't take it for granted. If Zhang Zhenhua is embarrassed to deduct it, I will
Deduct his subsidy directly."
"Also, the military region has signed an agreement with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union will select a group of technical personnel from German prisoners of war, especially technical personnel in various aspects such as armor, artillery, and construction machinery. You must do a good job first.
The second task of receiving them is to think carefully about how to use these German prisoners of war."
"Aren't you complaining that your military production always lacks some qualified and experienced technical personnel? The military region can't solve the problem from the country at present. I will bring you a group of professionals from abroad. You need to organize the personnel and properly report to
They study. I only want to tell you one request, and that is to squeeze out as much of the stuff in their heads as possible."
"Your brother also graduated from Tsinghua University. Although he did not study abroad, did gold plating, and came back with a foreign diploma, his horizons are still very broad. You should know better than me about the quality of German military industry and machinery manufacturing capabilities. How to maximize the
Make good use of this batch of German technical personnel, you have to think carefully about it."
"The number of this group of personnel will not be too large at first, but after a period of time, as the battle situation changes on the Soviet-German battlefield, the number will become more and more. You and the Heavy Industry Department of the Northeast Bureau, the Military Industry Department, and your brothers
Let’s think carefully about how to distribute these people.”
Yang Zhen's repeated pulling and beating made Xiong Dazhen look disgraced. He sat there awkwardly and didn't know where to put his hands. Seeing this guy's embarrassed face, Yang Zhen ignored him.
.This guy with a very flamboyant personality has gone too far during this period. If you don't beat him, beat him, will this guy's tail still be raised to the sky?
After the explanation was finished, he looked at the time on his watch and did not give Xiong Dazhen a chance to discuss it. Yang Zhen dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand. He was preparing to negotiate with the United States and Britain tomorrow, and he did not want to hear this.
After these words, Xiong Dazhen, who looked extremely embarrassed and heard that a large number of German prisoners of war were about to arrive, but whose eyes were shining, spent too much time with himself.
Back in his office, Yang Zhen rubbed his sore eyes and turned his mind to tomorrow's negotiations. As the American and British officers who went out for "inspection" had returned, Yang Zhen felt that when the answer to the mystery was completely revealed, he should
It has arrived. If Hopkins negotiates with himself first tomorrow, I am afraid that plan will be the final answer from the United States.
But Yang Zhen has no idea whether this possible final answer from the Americans can meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Especially at the moment, the Americans are still focusing on the British and the Soviets, as well as Chongqing.
Under the circumstances, how many people will be allocated to you?
Although his focus in fighting for US aid was not on equipment other than aircraft. But Yang Zhen knew very well that for certain political reasons, the biggest and most important thing he wanted was
This part will also be the most difficult to win.
In the eyes of Americans, these things are an important means of controlling whether they can influence China's internal affairs. But compared to equipment, these things are what they want most. Did those conversations of mine persuade Hope?
