"During this period, not only the machine guns of Sizhe, but also the artillery team I am responsible for have two projects that are coming to an end. We need to build two new production lines at the same time, overhaul one production line, and expand another production line. The burden is on you, Old Liu. Not light."
Zhu Han handed Lao Liu a cigarette. To be honest, he really felt sorry for Lao Liu.
He is almost 50, and in this era he is considered an out-and-out little old man.
As a result, he coerced him into having sex with a group of 20-year-old boys and girls.
But there is no way, the factory is really short of people.
"Hey, what are you afraid of!"
Old Liu took the cigarette, lit it and took a nice puff.
"You don't know what my life was like every day before you came here."
"At that time, I was worried. I was worried that we didn't have materials, I was worried that we didn't have machine tools, and I was worried about what I should do in the future. At that time, I thought, why can't I do anything well? Did I let down the trust of the organization too much? "
"But when you came, no matter what problems you encountered, you just said, 'Don't worry about it, leave it to me.' I knew that our savior had come."
"Although I have been a little busy during this period, I am happy to see that our factory is changing day by day. No matter how busy I am, can I be busier than you?"
"At that time, I secretly vowed to do a good job in auxiliary work. What's the point of being tired? Those were all tests given to me by the organization! Compared with the group of soldiers buried underground, I can personally witness and personally participate in the rise of our Eighth Route Army. This It’s called happiness! Cough cough cough…”
Speaking of excitement, Old Liu's old habit relapsed and he kept coughing.
Zhu Han quickly patted his back.
Perhaps, the feelings of the older generation towards the word "hope" are really not something he can relate to.
During this period, the factory expanded several times, both in terms of buildings and number of people.
Literacy classes, study groups, personnel allocation, and material incoming and outgoing were all handled by Lao Liu, and he never made any mistakes.
If it weren't for such a strong backing, I'm afraid the progress of research and development and production of various weapons would be only one-third of what it is now.
Thinking of this, Zhu Han seemed to have not paid attention to the current situation of the factory for a long time.
"How is the situation in the factory now?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine." When it comes to his work, Lao Liu can't help but feel proud.
He was not showing off how well his work was done, but out of a parent's sense of pride in their child.
"According to your plan, the cultural classes are divided into junior and senior classes. The junior class only teaches literacy and basic arithmetic, and the advanced class teaches some simple writing, equations, trigonometric functions, etc."
"You don't know, there were many people who thought that thing was useless at first, but in the end they were forced to finish the junior class. In the advanced class, they realized that they could write letters home, and their mentality changed immediately. There was no need to push themselves. I took the initiative to learn.”
"Don't talk about it, working is really different between those who are educated and those who are not. Sometimes if there is a small problem at work, they will solve it by themselves. We don't need to worry about it at all."
"Especially the little girl Gao Chunhan. She ranks first in every exam. She studies hard, works seriously, and is very easy to get along with. Everyone regards her as a treasure and they all say she will be successful in the future."
Zhu Han nodded, not showing anything special, but in his heart he was wondering why Lao Liu was telling him this.
So he followed his words:
"It is indeed a good thing. Some incentives can be set up. For those who study hard and achieve excellent results, their efforts must be recognized."
"Yes! I'll do it when I get back."
Lao Liu happily agreed. After all, this was a reasonable suggestion no matter how you looked at it.
But what he was thinking about was something else: Director Zhu was really nice to that little girl.
"How's it going with the escort?"
"Let's talk about the artillery squad you are most concerned about first. There are now three squads with 120 people."
"Very good, continue to recruit people and expand into a complete force based on these 120 people."
Obviously Zhu Han is very satisfied with this progress.
The "class" they are talking about is not the military establishment, but the kind of class in school.
After being baptized in the advanced cultural class, the soldiers of the escort are no strangers to trigonometric functions and parabolas.
With the addition of several artillery soldiers who were asked by the commanders and combatants to serve as teachers, the artillery training class was formed.
Zhu Han did not intend to let these 120 people form an artillery battery.
Just kidding, how many guns does a mortar company have?
12 doors. (Each platoon has two artillery squads and one ammunition squad)
A mortar requires 1 gunner, 3 gunners, 3 ammunition handlers and 2 drivers.
Although this is the configuration of a heavy mortar company, guess whether Zhu Han is satisfied that the Eighth Route Army only has small-caliber mortars?
These 120 people are the seeds. As long as they are sown, every two people will serve as gunners to lead a squad, and each person will lead 8 people. In half a month, 10 companies will be established.
what does that mean?
It means that with cadres, it becomes an artillery reinforcement regiment. Such luxurious configuration cannot be found in China.
"What about the infantry?"
"As you requested, there are almost two reinforcement battalions."
"So fast?"
Even though Zhu Han is the deputy director of Shitouqiao Arsenal, he leads almost all the work in the factory.
But he needs to travel frequently to steel plants and chemical plants to coordinate work.
So except for the selection and production of weapons, which he is more concerned about, he really doesn't pay much attention to other tasks.
So, this time it was these people who gave him a surprise.
"Hey, you don't know how much appeal you have now."
"It was really difficult to recruit people for the arsenal escort team. After all, we don't go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese, right?"
"But since you led the team to take down the Weijiazhuang gun tower, the reputation of our factory escort team has been completely established."
"Especially the ten-gun blast, iron traps, mortars, etc., the regular troops are drooling, let alone the militia."
"How many militiamen are there now? How many establishments does the regular army have? It's not easy to join the regular army. Our equipment is better than that of the regular army. Naturally, they are eager to squeeze in towards us. If we hadn't been picky, there wouldn't be a regiment now. More than that!”
"Iron mechanism?"
Zhu Han was stunned again, what was that?
I remember during the Anti-Japanese War, we called the MP18 a flower machine gun and the Thomson a portable machine gun. What was an iron machine gun?
"It's our M3 modification. It's a portable machine gun made of iron. What is it if it's not an iron machine?"
"ah?"
Zhu Han was confused again. Is it all made of iron? What are those two pieces of wood on the handle made of?
If you don't have those two things, you won't be afraid that your hands and grip will freeze together when you hold them in winter?
Forget it, let them be happy.
"Besides..." Old Liu said with a bad smile, "Our factory's guard team is different from others. Our Factory Director Zhu will cause trouble..."
When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately put on the look of a subway, an old man, and a mobile phone:
"You...how can you denounce someone's innocence out of thin air? Am I that kind of person?"
"There is a lesson from heaven and earth. I, Zhu Han, am loyal to the Eighth Route Army. I lower my head to be worthy of the organization, raise my head to be worthy of the party, and focus on my work. I have never picked up a piece of wool from the organization except cigarettes. How can I cause trouble?"
"I've told you so many times that the previous attack on the artillery tower was a helpless move to test weapons. You can't generalize, and you can't characterize me just because of that one incident!"
"Your conscience is really broken..."
Looking at Zhu Han who had broken the power in just one second, Old Liu seemed to have expected this reaction.
But...
I believe you, you bastard boy, you are so cruel!
When I advised you not to cause trouble, who threw me alone in Gaozhuang and was scolded by the brigade commander?
"Then let me ask you, what are you doing by recruiting people so actively to expand the army during this period?"
"Of course we are causing trouble!"
Zhu Han, who was clearly trying to break through his defenses, simply spread his hands and said it as a matter of course.
He was the one who took the lead in making trouble, and he was also the one who refused to admit that he was making trouble.
You have figured out the double standards.
cut!
Anyone who is close to him doesn't know what he is going to do?
It's just to take over the Jiangxian copper mine that he has always wanted to do.
