"Hey, do you have any other considerations that I haven't thought of?"
Zhao Sihan's hehe was not a mockery, but a feeling of "I just guessed it was like this".
It had only been a day since he had gotten used to Zhu Han's way of thinking, and he was sure to have a back-up plan.
"I'm thinking about the cost of training."
"Training cost?"
Commanders and fighters, look at me and I'll look at you.
It seems like training is something they should consider, right?
"There are so few submachine guns in China that many people think that submachine guns are just for charging."
"Is not it?"
"Of course it's possible, but that's during street fighting and charging. It won't work if the two armies are facing each other."
"Although the range of a submachine gun is short, that range refers to the range that can accurately shoot, not the range that can kill people."
"At long range, its function is also for suppression. After all, no matter how small the probability of being hit, no one is willing to gamble with their life."
"At this time, the rifle needs to be coordinated with precise strikes to avoid the situation where what can be suppressed cannot be hit, and what can be accurately shot cannot be suppressed."
"So that's it!"
Originally, the commanders and fighters wanted to raise some objections.
After all, their usage is based on the experience gained from working hard in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
But they reacted immediately.
Before, it was because there was a shortage of guns and bullets, and every bullet could not be wasted, so this desperate fighting style was developed.
But what now?
Since they have provided you with so much ammunition, do you need to consider other possibilities?
"So whether it's a charge or an ambush, the submachine gunners need to cooperate with the riflemen at all times."
"It only takes a day for a rifleman to switch to a submachine gun and learn how to use it. After a week of training, he can learn how to cooperate and form initial combat effectiveness."
"What about machine guns? A machine gun requires the primary and secondary shooters to be responsible for different tasks."
"Where to place the machine gun positions, how to dig the machine gun fortifications, when to move them, how to support the infantry, and how to charge with the team, all these need to be relearned. Effective combat effectiveness cannot be formed in more than a month and a half."
"What we lack most now is time, so in my opinion, the cost-effectiveness of large-scale equipment of submachine guns is slightly higher than the production of light machine guns."
"and……"
Everyone looked at Zhu Han, who raised their eyebrows and said "fake". They always felt that he was about to drop more important news.
"Our rifles use single-base propellant, while pistol ammunition must use double-base propellant."
"In other words, we haven't established a production line for double-base propellants yet."
"In fact, double-base propellant is the mainstream, and most ammunition uses it, including..."
Zhu Han leaned forward, looking like a wretched uncle.
"Cannonballs."
"hiss!"
Everyone present, including Zhao Sizhe, took a deep breath.
That's a cannon!
It’s a gun that none of us would even dare to think about!
Judging from what Zhu Han means, can he create it?
Is there anything the fuck this guy can't do?
No, no, no, there is no need to build cannons, just light energy can make artillery shells and our Eighth Route Army will have to celebrate the New Year.
"Oh, the propellant of this cannonball is naturally different from that of bullets."
"But we have to make some technical reserves first, right?"
"Chief, you don't want the Eighth Route Army to be without artillery, right?"
"Make it! Make it fucking!"
To be able to make the usually gentle Chief Liu use foul language shows how big a wave has stirred up in his heart.
There's no way, it's a cannon after all.
If the Eighth Route Army could make its own heavy weapons, the Japanese blockade would be a joke.
Just give one of the two brigades under the 129th Division 5 small 60mm mortars and 200 rounds of artillery shells, and cooperate with the 56th and 50th Division to go head-to-head with the Japanese Type A Regiment without suffering any loss.
If he comes to 200 doors...
No, no, the picture is too beautiful to think about.
Calm, I am very calm, I must be calm, I...how can his sister be calm!
"Say it! What do you want? Our 129th Division fully supports it!"
This was what Zhu Han was waiting for.
"Since you want good things, you will definitely have to pay a lot, not to mention that we are broke now, so the boss must be mentally prepared first. Don't blame me for being a lion."
"Hahaha, you underestimate us too much. Don't worry, your achievements are here to show. Even if Mr. Zhu knows about it, he will have to support it."
Hearing Zhu Han's words, Mr. Liu couldn't help but laugh. He could exchange 800 kilograms of copper for more than one million rounds of bullets. Bald heads would faint after hearing this deal.
Even the business of eating human blood, which is difficult for the country to make a fortune, is not so profitable for the four major families.
Duke Deng also smiled and said:
"Comrade Xiao Zhu, we have heard what Lao Chen said about your character. If you complain to us about 10% of your grievances, it means that you have already solved 90% of the difficulties where we can't see them, and maybe more. "
"Just tell us what you need. We can still carry five to six hundred sets of military uniforms (two tons of cotton) and more than 1.5 million rounds of ammunition, whichever is lighter."
Now that everything has been said, Zhu Han is no longer polite.
All the commanders and soldiers also pricked up their ears.
"First of all, the most lacking thing is definitely people, but people are both the best solution and the most troublesome."
"During this period, workers have voluntarily worked overtime to achieve this output. If we increase the production line, we will not be able to handle it."
"In my opinion, if the gun and ammunition production line alone wants to achieve the output I want, it won't work without three to four thousand people."
"With more people, there is an even greater shortage of machine tools that are already not enough. Someone has to be responsible for manufacturing machine tools."
"There are more people producing, but supplies are not enough. Various mines, brick kilns, lime kilns, steel plants, and chemical plants all need people."
"With supporting facilities, if there are more people, do we need more dormitories, canteens, food, and subsidies?"
"What's more, the quality of personnel is also very important. Mines, steel plants and various kilns are all good. Chemical plants, gunpowder groups, and machine tool groups all need educated people."
"Even if these people are really found, are they reliable? Are they strict with their mouths? Are they spies? Will they reveal information to the enemy?"
Even if Zhu Han had tried to minimize the number, there was still a gap of nearly 10,000 people. This was by no means a small number. You must know that the current 129th Division regular army only has 13,000 people.
Looking at the two silent bosses, Zhu Han felt nervous and asked tentatively:
"How about I order less..."
“Why order less?”
The two bosses spoke.
"Silly boy, do you think we are embarrassed by not talking?"
"On the contrary, we are very relieved."
"We can't help at all with production or anything like that. No matter how anxious we are, we can only watch."
"We blame ourselves for letting you bear such a heavy burden all by yourself."
"We are not afraid that you will trouble us, but we are afraid that you will not be able to use us."
"Expelling Japanese pirates and revitalizing China are not only your business, but should not be yours alone."
"We are deeply honored to be able to help you share your burden and fight with you."
"Boss, Mr. Deng, please stop talking. If you talk anymore, I will cry."
Zhu Han hurriedly interrupted the two leaders, a warm current welled up in his heart, and tears rolled in his eyes.
What a lovely chief, what a respectable great man.
That’s right, without the courage and solidarity of these predecessors, how could future generations have peace and prosperity?
"Haha, you don't have to worry about people. I will explain to Taizu that we will recruit people from the entire Soviet area, especially intellectuals, and transfer them to you as much as possible."
"There are also carpenters. I've hired all the carpenters around here who know a little bit about carpentry, but it's still not enough."
"You may think that the factory only deals with iron, but machine tools don't require either forging iron or watching fire, and carpenters can get started quickly."
"Haha, no problem."
Zhu Han wiped his wet eyes, nodded, and continued:
"The second one is tungsten."
"Tungsten steel can be said to be the most important carbide, and we need to use it in too many places."
"For example, cutter heads for metal processing, inner molds for stamping dies, and firing pins for firearms."
"We don't have tungsten mines here. They are all concentrated in the activities of the New Fourth Army."
"I have been in contact with them to transport tungsten ore for more than two years since I came here, but with the current factory production, the inventory will be used up in less than a month."
"If tungsten steel is not available, high-carbon steel can be used for the cutter head and so on. At worst, it will wear faster."
"But don't be sloppy with the firing pin. If the firing pin is replaced with something like tool steel, it may cause the firearm to be unable to fire bullets after a period of time."
"On the battlefield, if the rifling is gone, it can still be used. If there is a problem with the firing pin, it is equivalent to completely destroying the gun."
