The development workshop of the Xufu Ordnance Research Institute is in order, busy but not chaotic. Each section has a research team and several experienced technicians working hard. Due to the unprecedented scale under construction, it can produce all light and heavy weapons and heavy artillery.
The Xufu Arsenal is still in the process of installing and debugging production equipment, and the key technical personnel who were diverted from the Xiangxi Arsenal spend their spare time here all day long.
The research and development workshop originally had strict working hours, but this stipulated time has never been strictly adhered to. In addition to the normal working hours of the two departments of the institute, namely copywriting and scientific and technological information analysis, every research group responsible for research and development tasks is working here day and night.
work.
Motivated by a strong sense of professionalism, huge bonuses and generous welfare benefits, more than a hundred engineers and designers from Europe and the United States devoted their efforts. On this basis, the Chinese technical staff gained an additional sense of national crisis and mission, adding to the
With An Yi's heavy investment regardless of cost, the design institute has very complete advanced manufacturing equipment and testing equipment. In the words of two heads of advisory groups from Germany and the United States: An Jiajun's research institute is equipped with both machinery and equipment as well as talent and technology.
Both the research scale and capital investment greatly exceed the weapons research and development institutions of most countries.
With the collective efforts and huge financial investment, the research progress of the institute has been greatly accelerated, and it is not surprising that research results are emerging one after another.
One of the huge advantages that experts from all over the world are extremely envious of is that the manufacturing equipment of the institute all comes from developed countries such as Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden. Various mechanical devices have many mutual complements in technology, especially a
A series of advanced machine tools imported from the United States years ago were improved by sixteen engineers and outstanding technicians from three countries. The performance and machining accuracy of the four series of machine tools have been doubled. They were then personally led by Dean Kong Zechuan to form a technical research team.
The team. After two and a half months of unremitting efforts, a new set of processing equipment that can produce everything from heavy machine guns to pistols was unexpectedly designed. What is extremely gratifying is that most of the components of this complete set of weapons production equipment
, all factories affiliated to Jiangnan Group can produce it. Only a series of cutting tools, drills and two specifications of stamping equipment need to be imported from Europe and the United States. However, with the vigorous development of the machine tool industry in southern Sichuan, I believe it will be realized soon.
Self-sufficient.
To this end, all Chinese and foreign personnel involved in the design and development of this new set of equipment received a cash reward of US$3,000. Under An Yi's instruction, the small arms production branch of the Syrian Arsenal, which is under construction, decided to adopt this set of "
"Self-designed and self-developed" production equipment, and the Xiangxi Arsenal took the lead in equipment upgrade. At the end of November last year, the Xiangxi Arsenal completed the replacement or upgrade of three series of production equipment in two small arms production workshops.
After careful maintenance and replenishment, the set of equipment was sold to Guangxi and Yunnan respectively, and the income obtained was 1.6 times of all investment. An Yi, who was on the front line in North China at that time, received a message from Zhang Hongluan, the king of Xiangxi, "The new equipment is running smoothly and the output has doubled.
After the good news that the product test exceeded all design indicators, he was overjoyed and secretly ordered Kong Zechuan to immediately start producing such equipment. While giving priority to satisfying the needs of the Xufu Arsenal, An Yi was responsible for selling it to the outside world at a price twice the cost price.
.
At 10:30 in the morning, An Yi, who had returned from the trial operation of the Xufu Arsenal, appeared in the spacious warehouse of the Small Arms Research Department. Dean Kong Zechuan, General Counsel Weimar Harman, and Firearms Research Laboratory Consultant Hoeness,
Accompanied by designers Tao Xun and Shen Jianping, they analyzed and discussed the American Garand semi-automatic rifle that had just been acquired two days ago.
All the experts who had participated in this project had basically analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Garand semi-automatic rifle and made some improvements according to An Yi's requirements. Therefore, it took little effort to research and imitate the new semi-automatic rifle.
A consensus was reached.
Putting aside a big worry, An Yi, accompanied by everyone, enthusiastically visited the small arms from various countries collected and displayed by the institute.
Facing the dazzling array of light and heavy machine guns of different shapes, An Yi was extremely excited and proud. At the same time, he was deeply grateful to his good brothers Lin Xudong, Ma Zhiyuan, A Biao and intelligence personnel stationed in Europe and the United States who were thousands of miles away.
After hard work and using various means to collect from the garrisons in European, American and Southeast Asian countries, we have so many weapons research samples.
An Yi walked to the display rack of submachine guns and looked at them carefully one by one. He was suddenly attracted by a gun with simple and smooth lines and an elegant shape.
Hoeness smiled slightly when he saw this, stretched out his long hand to take down the gun, placed it in front of An Yi, pulled the bolt, and introduced in detail in English:
"This is a new product launched by the Tikakoski Arsenal in Finland that was just acquired last month. There are five in total, four of which have been handed over to Tao's submachine gun team for decomposition and research. The design and manufacturing process of this submachine gun are very impressive. I
I deeply admire Mr. Leidy, my colleague from Finland whom I have never met before, for his solid level and valuable inspiration.”
"Finland? I remember this is a country close to the Arctic Circle, adjacent to Sweden, Norway and Soviet Russia... Such a small country can also design and manufacture such sophisticated firearms. It seems that there are many weapons experts in Europe." An
Yi was quite surprised.
Hoeness introduced with a smile: "Yes, Finland has accepted Swedish rule in history. After the Russo-Swedish War in the last century, it was merged into Russia and became a Grand Duchy. Sixteen years ago, taking advantage of the Soviet-Russian revolution, Finland and Western countries
With the help of the Soviet Union, Switzerland and Finland have a good tradition of cooperation, and the design and manufacturing of many weapons and equipment are excellent.
"Judging from the inscription, this gun is a Somi M1931 submachine gun. Except for retaining the detachable barrel and charging handle of the M26 submachine gun independently developed by Leidy in 2026, the other parts are almost entirely new designs.
The rate-of-fire adjustment mechanism has been cancelled, and the safety handle of the speed-slower machine is located near the trigger. It adopts a flake front sight and an arc-shaped seat-type adjustable scale. The maximum scale range reaches 500 meters, which is actually about 200 meters to 250 meters. Sleeve
The front is designed with a downward slope, which can play a certain anti-jump role and make the weapon more stable when shooting. The wooden butt has also been improved, making it more comfortable when shooting over the shoulder. The projectile is 7.65mm Parabellum.
Bullets are supplied with 25-round box straight magazines and 40-round drum magazines.
“Through our repeated analysis and test firings, we found that the advantage of this gun is that it strives for excellence, and its reliability and accuracy are very outstanding. However, unfortunately, the design is too complex, and the structure and process requirements are very demanding. It uses high-quality chrome nickel from Sweden.
The cost of manufacturing steel remains high.
"We are currently conducting research and project evaluation, including fully considering the feasibility of firing rifle bullets or intermediate bullets that you originally proposed to increase the range and strike power. It will take another week to decide on the specific matters. I plan to leave this project to
Tao's team will be in charge. He is your old subordinate and a genius in automatic weapons design. I can't believe how several German arsenals are willing to put him back in China."
Everyone laughed softly. Tao Xun, who was praised, turned red. He touched the back of his head with some embarrassment and said shyly: "Thank you, Mr. Hoeness, for the praise! In fact, this kind of thought often comes to my mind during this time. If I have
It will be an extremely lucky thing to go back to Germany to study with my teacher, Professor Stangl. I feel that my level is still far behind."
Everyone laughed again and said that Tao Xun was too humble.
An Yi admired the attitude of this hard-working old subordinate with a solid foundation. He patted him on the shoulder to encourage him and whispered to him not to underestimate himself. All masters are not mastered in one touch, let alone simply learned.
If you can succeed, as long as you persist, you will be able to overcome every difficulty and create the reliable, high-quality and affordable "AK-type submachine gun" that the two agreed upon.
An Yi followed everyone to the exit, waving goodbye to each other. As the commander-in-chief of southern Sichuan, he still has a lot of things to do, otherwise he would be quite willing to stay in this diligent and efficient research group, pick up his old profession, and start
Have a great time turning on the machine tool.
Minjiang Restaurant is a newly built three-story antique restaurant in Xufu City. This three-story Ming and Qing style double-eaves building is located in an excellent location at Sanjiangkou. There are also two-story buildings with the same style on the left and right sides.
A modern hotel, including a cinema and a dance hall. The beautiful environment, complete facilities and thoughtful services have made Minjiang Restaurant the leading consumer place in Xufu. However, no one knows the true identity of the kind-hearted owner of Minjiang Restaurant.
In fact, he is the deputy director of the Anjiajun Xufu Intelligence Station.
In the elegant and quiet Guantao Pavilion on the third floor, Ling Xing, who had changed into Western clothes, was holding an exquisite teacup and sipping tea leisurely. He seemed to be unhurried and extremely comfortable, but in fact, the anxiety and expectation in his eyes made him chat with him in a friendly manner.
Ding Zhicheng and Chen Jishan saw it.
Ling Xing glanced at the Swiss gold watch on his wrist again. It was given to him by Chen Jinming, who was about the same age as him, and had a gentle appearance but good kung fu, when he successfully completed his mission in Shanghai and was about to leave. At this time, it was
At 11:55 p.m., Ling Xing couldn't help but feel anxious secretly before he saw the arrival of the legendary general An Yi, whom he longed to meet.
After completing the mission, he took the plane back to Xufu. Ling Xing thought a lot along the way. From southern Sichuan to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai back to southern Sichuan where he had broken wings, everything he saw made his heart surge and made him feel good.
Especially yesterday morning when Ding Zhicheng came to the hotel next door, removed all the plainclothes policemen, announced that his case had been closed, and he was in prison from now on, and then asked him kindly what he wanted? Seeing Lingxing's silence, he
He presented a cash check of 10,000 yuan from HSBC Bank as a token of gratitude from all the An Jiajun brothers and asked him to accept it.
Ling Xing did not accept the check, but made a request that surprised Ding Zhicheng: he wanted to see General An Yi before leaving.
Ding Zhicheng was curious and asked why? Ling Xing laughed softly and said, I want to see what a person like Brother Ding, Brother Shen, my Senior Brother Hu, and General Hutou would be willing to sacrifice his life for? So today at noon
At this dinner, Ling Xing waited anxiously.
The carved door to the private room slowly opened, and An Yi, accompanied by Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong, strode in. His eyes drifted over Ling Xing, and he waved his hands and told Ding Zhicheng and Chen Jishan to do whatever they wanted. He sat down and stood up to greet Ling Xing.
Next to Xing, he held his hand enthusiastically and said with a smile:
"Brother Ling, come on, sit down quickly. You're welcome. Speaking of which, my sworn brother Hu Jialin is still your family friend. We are not very different in age, so we don't need that set of false etiquette... By the way, Jishan, have you ordered the food?
?”
SWAT captain Chen Jishan quickly replied: "It has been ordered a long time ago, Commander."
An Yi nodded: "Just order it, let's serve it! Ah, I almost forgot something. Xiaojiu, go to the car to get the thirty-year cellar gifted by Senior Tan Zhong. That's a good qualification.
The wine is more mellow and beautiful than the Panama Gold Award-winning Moutai and Luzhou Daqu. Unfortunately, this kind of wine is so rare that I can only ask for a bottle of it with all my dignity. I might as well drink it together today. It’s better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it with everyone.
It’s so fun, haha!”
Lin Yaodong, who was dressed in casual clothes, turned around and went out without saying a word. Ling Xing looked at Lin Yaodong's steady steps and leopard-like figure, and was filled with emotion, wondering why there were so many masters around An Yi?
Shen Fengdao gave Ling Xing a rare smile, took out a message from his jacket pocket and handed it to Ling Xing, without saying anything, he picked up the teacup and sipped tea leisurely.
Ling Xing took it with some confusion and took a closer look. There were groups of numbers neatly written on it, and below the numbers was a neat translation:
My brother Zi Chen, I have mixed feelings and am deeply pleased to learn about your current situation. On behalf of the tens of millions of passionate soldiers in the army, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you! If your time allows, you can take the military weekly self-portrait.
I flew to Peiping and came to meet Brother Yu. Brother Yu happened to be leading troops to fight on the day when Uncle Song passed away, so he was unable to go to pay homage. I still feel deeply regretful and can only hope to see my brother sincerely. Hope. Brother, Hu Jialin
.
Ling Xing raised his head and stared quietly into Shen Fengdao's eyes: "My senior brother... he... he... knows?"
Shen Fengdao nodded: "Huzi is now the enemy commander-in-chief of the Central Army on the North China Front. He leads a hundred thousand soldiers, including our Anjia Army, to confront the Japanese invaders on the Great Wall. He cannot leave without authorization, otherwise he would have taken a plane to Xufu.
Come to see you. If you want to go, you don’t have to wait so long. There will be a military flight from Nanchang to Peiping tomorrow morning. You can take a civilian flight to Nanchang this afternoon, where our brothers will receive you. If you are willing
, you can also go to your Senior Brother Hu’s house, your Senior Uncle Hu and your sister-in-law and their whole family live in the old Nanchang Rongjun Community."
Ling Xing's eyes turned slightly red. He put away the message and nodded, thanking him in a low voice. When he raised his head again, two waiters had already brought exquisite dishes.
After getting the wine, Lin Yaodong opened the wax seal of the exquisite clay pot, and the intoxicating aroma of the wine immediately spread out in all directions, refreshing...
