Although Xiong Dazhen has the usual aloofness and stubbornness of intellectuals of this era, it does not mean that he cannot read glances. As a smart man, he is still a bit quick-witted. When he saw that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit dull, he said: " No. 1, this kind of rifle and light machine gun should have a name. We can’t always call new rifles and new rifles.”
After hearing Xiong Dazhen's words, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and did not answer him directly. Instead, he turned to him and said: "What do the political commissar and chief of staff think? Didn't they give these new weapons a name? And Didn't you give them a name after the Type 40 fully automatic rifle?"
Yang Zhen's words made Xiong Dazhen shake his head and said: "No. 1, the Type 40 rifle is not the official name. We call it the Type 40 rifle because this weapon was trial-produced in 1940. The Type 40 rifle, It's just a code name used internally for development and production.
"As for the political commissar and chief of staff, I went to see them, but they all said that since you designed this rifle, they can't do it for you. It's better for you, the designer, to choose the official name. So, The official name of this weapon must be chosen by you yourself."
Having said this, Xiong Dazhen looked at Yang Zhen's expression and said in a somewhat flattering manner: "No. 1, it is generally popular to name weapons after human lives. For example, the standard rifle used by the National Government is called the Chinese official rifle. The United States The human Thompson submachine gun is also named after its inventor, Thomson."
"There are also Maxim heavy machine guns and Browning heavy machine guns, which are all examples. There is also the big brother of the Soviet Union, such as Mosin Nagan and Tokarev, which are all named after their inventors. I recommend this Since the rifles and machine guns were designed by you personally, we call them Yang Zhen rifles and Yang Zhen machine guns."
"You are not only the designer of these two guns, but also the military commander who led us to create so many glories on the battlefield, and now you are the top military commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. If these two new weapons are named after you, It is definitely worthy of its name and highly anticipated.”
"And naming these two new cross-era weapons after you is much better than the imitation rifles that Gongxian Arsenal gave them with the Chinese and official names that were purely flattering, that imitation German rifles. It performs well, but it’s a shame it has that name.”
Xiong Dazhen's words made Yang Zhen roll his eyes involuntarily, and he was so disgusted that he almost vomited on the spot. From now on, whoever says that intellectuals don't know how to flatter, whoever says that intellectuals are noble, this Xiong Dazhen is a vivid person. Example of rebuttal: This guy will do anything for those so-called talents.
Yang Zhen, who was left quite speechless by Xiong Dazhen's flattery, looked at the smiling Xiong Dazhen beside him, shook his head and said: "You said that the Gongxian Arsenal named the imitation rifle Zhongguan. It’s flattering and disgusting, so why wouldn’t it be disgusting if you named the new rifle after me?”
"Let me tell you, don't do this. If you want to flatter me, wait until you learn how to do it. As for you now, you are still far behind. Look at your face. How is it different from the eunuchs in the palace in the past? I Let me tell you Xiong Dazhen, if you don’t tell me what should be given to you, I will give it to you; if you don’t tell me, I won’t give it to you even if you flatter me to the sky.”
"All talent allocation plans are formulated after unified research by the Military Region and the Northeast Bureau. They are not decided by any one person alone. The Anti-League is not a one-stop shop for me, Yang Zhen. I can do whatever I want and say whatever I want.
Just put it this way, you are just flattering, and you are flattering the wrong person."
Yang Zhen's words made Xiong Dazhen, who was slapped on the horse's hoof, embarrassed. His face was still a little tender, and he still couldn't imitate those shameless old fritters. Xiong Dazhen, who was criticized as if nothing had happened.
, the old man’s face couldn’t help but turn red, and he stood aside a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhiruo, who was covering her mouth and barely suppressing her smile, helped him out. Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing because of Xiong Dazhen's flattery, the clever Yuan Zhiruo gently pulled Li Huilan beside him and said
: "Sister Li, let's try this new rifle to see if it's as powerful as Minister Xiong boasted."
Who is Li Huilan? Her thoughts are no worse than Yuan Zhiruo's.
