On the morning of the second day after returning to Taiyuan, Zhou Wen personally drove his uncle Wang Wenzhao to the party headquarters. The first is to let his uncle recognize him and become familiar with other party officials. If he is absent in the future, his uncle will know where to go to find connections if he is in trouble. Now in the entire Shanxi Party Committee, from top to bottom, who dares not to give Zhou Wen face? The second is to inquire in detail about the current situation of the Taiyuan Arsenal. He was thinking about the equipment in the arsenal.
Zhou Wen thought that although the arsenal had stopped production, there would still be some leftovers, right? Zhou Wen doesn't mind it, as long as he can get the training equipment for the guards and security teams. In addition, Zhou Wen also had some plans of his own, and wanted to see if he could make use of the machinery and equipment in the gun and ammunition factory.
The news he got from his uncle made Zhou Wen feel happy and worried. Fortunately, the gun and ammunition factory was notified of the suspension of production only in late September. The products for most of September have not had time to be registered and transferred into the warehouse. They are only stored in the temporary transit warehouse of the gun and bullet factory. The good thing is that the entire arsenal is now taken over by the Taiyuan Garrison Headquarters. The factory gate, various workshops and temporary warehouses are all sealed, and they are usually guarded by soldiers. It is difficult to steal-oh no-it is difficult to take it.
What is the output for the first half of the month? My uncle did remember that he was in charge of the products that were not handed over for storage.
Jin made more than 2,000 Type 65 rifles (imitation of the Japanese Type 38 rifle, using 6.5 mm caliber bullets, so called Type 65 rifles).
Jin made more than 500 submachine guns (imitation of the American Thompson M1921 submachine gun with 20 rounds of magazines).
Jin built more than 60 Czech-style light machine guns.
Jin built eleven Maxim heavy machine guns.
More than 200 11.43mm caliber shell guns were manufactured.
There are also about 1.5 million rounds of 6.5mm caliber bullets, one million rounds of 7.9mm caliber bullets, 800,000 rounds of 11.43mm caliber bullets, and more than 600,000 rounds of 9mm pistol bullets.
Then I heard my uncle say that there seemed to be a lot of mountain cannons and mortars at the artillery factory that had not been put into storage, as well as a large number of artillery shells and grenades.
My day! Zhou Wen couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and walked around the office, frowning and thinking of a solution. This is a gift from God. If you don't steal it or take it, you will be punished. This is really asking God to not take what he wants, but to suffer the consequences instead.
What Zhou Wen didn't know was that historically, the Taiyuan Arsenal had been hasty and chaotic due to production shutdowns. It is true that a large number of weapons and equipment produced that month did not have time to be packaged and stored in storage. They were all placed randomly in various workshops or temporary warehouses. Due to the lack of maintenance for a long time, coupled with the fact that the temporary warehouses were not taken care of, some places even started to leak. When the arsenal started working again two years later, it was discovered that most of these weapons and ammunition were rusty and damp, and were basically scrapped.
After thinking for a while, I didn't come up with a solution in a hurry. But I know that this matter cannot be rushed, and must be carefully planned. However, the Taiyuan Garrison Headquarters would like to find an opportunity to test the waters first.
Wang Wenzhao saw that his nephew was thinking about something, so he sat quietly on the sofa and drank tea without disturbing him. But my heart was in turmoil. This nephew is now a great person, no longer the simple young scholar he used to be. Within a few days of returning home, my hands turned into clouds and my hands turned into rain. First, try to turn the tide and save the Zhou family from crisis. Later, all hostile forces were wiped out. It is also made clean from beginning to end, making Lishi County look like an iron barrel.
My eldest son has become the head of a county inexplicably. He is the head of a county, and the emperor of a local country. If you say you are, you are what you are. Tsk tsk tsk! This method, this plan, this power...
Wang Wenzhao was lost in thought, but he didn't know that the water in the teacup in his hand had already been drained. When he was about to pick up the teacup to drink, Zhou Wen took it over with a smile and helped him refill the tea. Then he came back to his senses and laughed at himself and said: "Awen, after your experience in the past two years and what you did after you came back, my uncle really doesn't recognize you. Think about your temperament two years ago and your current situation." It’s just two people.”
After finishing speaking, he grabbed Zhou Wen's hand emotionally and continued: "Awen, you'd better talk to your uncle about what hardships you have experienced? Why does your uncle feel like you are another person?"
Zhou Wen knew that his uncle had been close to him since childhood and was sensitive to his changes. In fact, it was really like this. I probably spent more time with my uncle than my father, Zhou Jinghai. In addition, the last meeting was in a hurry, so I just briefly talked about some general experiences and rushed to Lishi before I had time to elaborate. Now it is necessary to explain something to my closest uncle.
He smiled and said: "Uncle, don't tell me, I really feel like I have died once..." He explained how he fell into a coma after jumping off a cliff, and how he was blessed with Buddhist luck after waking up. There is a lot of information and knowledge that I didn’t know before, and then I join the army, train soldiers, fight bandits, fight in the Central Plains, save the principal...
Wang Wenzhao burst into tears when he heard this, and his heart was broken. My nephew experienced resurrection from the dead and survived a bloody battlefield. How much pain and hardships this child must have suffered! No wonder he has become decisive and ruthless now. This was all forced out. Thinking of this makes me even more sad. He hugged Zhou Wen and started crying again.
Zhou Wen was also moved to tears by his uncle, but he said: "Uncle, no matter who I become or what my personality is, I will always be your nephew."
"Yes, no matter who you become, you will always be my nephew. Even if I follow you up mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will still be your uncle."
At this moment, Wang Wenzhao felt that although his current nephew was getting farther and farther away from the familiar young man before, his relationship with him was getting deeper. well! The child has grown up.
Zhou Wen chatted with his uncle for a while, and Wang Wenzhao suddenly patted his forehead and said: "Oh! I almost forgot. That German consultant Hobert said he wanted you to come back, so go find him as soon as possible, saying he is your German friend." The couple wants to entertain you and introduce you to some foreign friends."
Zhou Wen nodded and said: "I'll go today. I just want to talk to him about something, and I also want to entrust the Mandels to help me buy some equipment, so we talked about it together during dinner. I'd better treat him, I need my uncle's help for the location. I just need to find a restaurant with a better environment, preferably one with private rooms. Don't worry about the price. Oh, by the way, how about this Hobart guy? Is it easy to deal with? "
Wang Wenzhao said: "The location is easy to find. I will book a private room in a while. Hobert is a very nice person. He is a foreigner who values friendship and loyalty. He is a consultant at the gun test laboratory of the ammunition factory. He speaks Chinese very well and is very friendly to me." We have been dating for several years. No, on the day you arrived, a worker's child happened to be sick. I asked him to help find a foreign doctor, and he took us there the next day. Fortunately, the child was saved in time. . It’s just that the medical fees for foreigners are exorbitantly expensive, and most people really look down on this disease.”
