Chapter 450 Big Order
"No problem! What should we do if our mortar-producing technical workers and equipment?" asked Director Shi.
"Technical data is sealed, molds and other things are sealed, and some equipment and workers are put into the bullet production line! Tell Wang Lindong and others that now the semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles are enough for our entire group of equipment, so don't produce them."
"As for the special equipment molds and materials for producing these two types of rifles, they should be sealed for a long time, but they must be enabled at any time!"
"Now, let them devote all their energy to the production of general-purpose machine guns! How many general-purpose machine guns are there in our stock?" Hu Yizhou asked.
"General machine gun..." Director Shi took out his small notebook and looked at it.
"Because this has not been stopped, and because of the development of dual anti-aircraft machine guns, this general-purpose machine gun has a stock of 500 people!" said Director Shi.
"So many? It's just right! If you ask Wang Lindong and the others to do their best to produce, we have a task! The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Arsenal Administration need a large number of general-purpose machine guns, and we have work to do!" Hu Yizhou said.
"Okay! No problem!" said Director Shi.
"Okay, there's nothing to do for the time being, let's go off!" Hu Yizhou started fighting.
"Goodbye!" Everyone left.
The focus was shifted to the manufacturing of the Zida production line, which was a plan that Hu Yizhou had already formulated. But he didn't expect that his general-purpose machine gun would become a hot commodity again.
Hu Yizhou's original plan was to complete the gun manufacturing needed by the security regiment at the arsenal. After ensuring the transaction needs of Cui Geng, the arsenal should produce more bullets!
Because of the onset of phobia inadequate firepower, Hu Yizhou never felt that the security team had enough bullets! After digesting the newly purchased bullet production line and achieving stable production of bullets, you might as well make a few more bullet production lines.
Even though these bullet production lines are inefficient and occupy more labor, it is better to have them than not! Besides, taking up labor is not a problem at all. Who says that our family has more people!
In fact, the equipment development of the security team has always been subject to the production of bullets!
If the arsenal could create 100,000 intermediate-power rifle bullets a day, Hu Yizhou would have the second and third battalions equipped with bolt-action rifles? It would have been replaced with semi-automatic ones in the warehouse! He would even dare to replace all the assault infantry with assault rifles!
But... he didn't have bullets, he dared nothing, he could only slowly increase depending on the situation.
Now the security regiment is fully equipped with semi-automatic and assault rifles, namely the Special Warehouse Reconnaissance Company, the First and Second Company. Other main infantry squads only have the chief and deputy squad leader equipped with semi-automatic.
As for Hu Yizhou's 56, the light machine gun has not yet produced a suitable barrel steel, so he can only sigh at the drawings!
Last time, Cui Geng took away 8,000 submachine guns, 60,000 pieces of soap, and 200 bottles of various perfumes! He also took away 10 slow-version universal light and heavy machine guns as samples.
Now, after Cui Geng’s two months of running around, the order has arrived, and it is still an order placed by the Ordnance Administration and the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Cui Geng sent a special telegram to Hu Yizhou, and a joint telegram from the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs also sent to the Security Corps, and there was an order from the Arsenal Department in the middle.
The main purpose is to let Jiuzhai Arsenal build 2,000 general-purpose light machine guns to supply the anti-Japanese battlefield. The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Arsenal will exchange them with the corresponding value of raw materials!
The Arsenal and the Ministry of Military Affairs did not have much interest in submachine guns. After all, this thing consumes too much ammunition, and they have a headache. However, they are very interested in general light machine guns!
The leaders of the Ministry of Military Affairs are very clear that they can not equip the troops below with submachine guns, but they must equip machine guns! This thing must not be missing! At critical moments, they all rely on machine guns to turn the situation around.
Compared with the Czech style with only 20 rounds of the magazine, the soldiers below prefer this kind of light machine gun that uses ammunition chains to supply ammunition. For nothing else, just for the sake of the Japanese group charging, this light machine gun can be fired non-stop.
Although this gun is a little heavier than the Czech style, what does it matter? It has more bullets and can be sustained for a long time! The 50 rounds of bullet links are it, and it can be combined into 100 rounds of bullet links!
I really don’t want to pass it anymore. It’s okay to have a long 250 round cable tie like a 24th-century guy.
Compared to the bulky Min Ersi, this gun can be carried and run away at critical moments...
In fact, it is a helpless move to purchase weapons from Jiuzhai by the Arsenal and Military Affairs Bureau and the Military Control Commission of the Ministry of Military Affairs. That is no choice!
Why? Germans don’t do business with dried fruits!
Why? The Japanese devils have opinions! We are allies, why do you still sell weapons to the Chinese?
Because of this, China lacks effective sources of weapons, which is a big problem.
It’s okay to say that the rifle is a thing, but our family can produce it on its own! But it’s not easy to deal with light machine guns! There are Czech arsenals in China, but the output and quality are all forgot!
In addition, due to continuous defeats and factory migration, some equipment has not yet been put into production and the factory has not been operated...
Even if it is running, the production capacity is not enough! It is better to buy it directly from Jiuzhai Arsenal! The key is that it is easy to use and not very expensive!
There are a few domestic arsenals that can produce guns stably. For example, the arsenal of Yan Laoxijia has recently started to produce Hu's submachine guns! But Yan Lao Da's own family is not enough, so don't mention taking out.
Well, it is estimated that the takeaway cannot be a large-scale equipment like the Jinsui Army.
So, after watching the slow version of MG machine guns brought by Cui Geng, the Arsenal and the Military Control Commission decided to buy a batch! 2,000 general-purpose machine guns, including 1,800 general-purpose light machine guns and 200 general-purpose heavy machine guns.
By counting this, these guns can be equipped with 1,800 infantry squads and about two divisions of troops!
Speaking of Germany not doing business with China, alas... the same thing is, I am not afraid of opponents like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs.
The bearded head of state has nothing to say about other aspects, but his wisdom in choosing teammates is too poor! Two countries with technology but no resources are put together... How great is the potential for war? Unless you eat the world in one bite...
Nowadays, although China has poor industrial foundation and lacks chromium and nickel, the output of military materials such as tungsten sand, boar bristles, tung oil, etc. is very rich! Before other mixed oils can replace its effect, tung oil is a serious strategic material!
Fortunately, military technology has not yet opened the rare earth technology tree, otherwise the Japanese strategic goals will definitely change!
In addition, the Japanese did not find our Daqing Shengli and other oil fields, otherwise it would be really troublesome...
Chapter completed!
