"Hahahaha, thank you, sir. With these machine tools and raw materials, our arsenal's production of M1 Garand rifles and bullets will reach new highs."
This is an unexpected surprise. I didn't expect that after this phone call, I would get ten machine tools. You should know that the machine tools were sent by the chief before.
The output of each of them has reached twenty-three or four M1 Garand rifles per day, and now with these ten machine tools, that's not bad.
Coupled with the existing machine tools in the arsenal, the number of M1 Garand rifles can reach almost three to four hundred in a day, and tens of thousands of M1 Garand rifles in a month.
This kind of output is undoubtedly very large for the current Eighth Route Army. After all, if you look at it this way.
One month's output in the arsenal is enough to arm five main force regiments. You must know that this is the main force group.
In the entire Eighth Route Army, there are only twelve main regiments, each with a full strength of 2,000 men. This will take more than two months at most.
These twelve main regiments will all be equipped with M1 Garand rifles, as for the others, like the new first regiment, the new second regiment and so on.
The strength of these regiments is much smaller than that of the main regiment, with a strength of just over a thousand, judging from the subsequent output of the arsenal.
The M1 Garand rifles produced in one month can almost arm eight or nine ordinary regiments. This shows how amazing this output is.
In half a year at most, it might be possible to equip the entire Eighth Route Army with M1 Garand rifles, but the raw materials for bullets are always a problem.
The raw materials for making the M1 Garand rifle are not difficult to obtain. They are just some steel and wood, very simple.
The copper used to produce bullets has to be mined, or stolen from little devils. Of course, the reason why there is such a large output.
The reason is still due to the system. You must know that the system has improved the production steps of the M1 Garand rifle.
Without reducing the original performance, the production steps are greatly simplified. It can be said that the system provides this M1 Garand rifle technical drawing.
It is more powerful than the technical drawings of the United States, and is almost an upgraded version of the technical drawings of the American M1 Garand rifle.
Due to the simplification of the manufacturing steps, the technical drawing in Su Bei's hands is at least two to three times more productive than the American M1 Garand rifle technical drawing.
It is precisely because of this that, with only a dozen machine tools, the output of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal can reach tens of thousands of M1 Garand rifles a month.
Not only the technical drawings of the M1 Garand rifle, but also the technical drawings of any weapons shipped from the system are like this.
Without changing its original performance, the various manufacturing processes are greatly simplified, ensuring that the Eighth Route Army Arsenal can operate under limited conditions.
Maximizing output is another great feature of the system.

Then, after the two parties chatted for a while, they hung up the phone. As soon as he hung up, Su Bei was communicating with the system in his mind.
"System, why is this little devil's train filled with ten tons of copper capable of transporting only one squadron of troops?"
This is not only the chief's question, but also the question in Su Bei's heart.
"Ding~ When the little devil was transporting these trains, he originally planned to keep a low profile and strictly blocked the news."
"If it weren't for the host who traveled through time, perhaps no one except the top brass would know about this train, let alone ambush it."
After hearing the system's explanation, Su Bei understood. It seemed that the little devil was very careful about his confidentiality.
That's why I don't want to be too ostentatious. After all, the more escort troops there are, the bigger the target will be, and it will be easily noticed by other troops.
And once other troops really want to spend money to attack, no matter how much preparation the little devil makes, it will be of no use.
After all, the route that this train passes is too long, and it is impossible for the little devil to arrange soldiers to guard all the routes.
Therefore, instead of being worried about others all the time, it is better to solve the problem fundamentally and block the news directly.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The little devils have done a good job in keeping secrets. In the original work, whether it is the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army or the Central Army.
Little did they know that in a few days, the little devil would have a train passing the Zhengtai Railway containing ten tons of copper.
But for all the calculations, the little devil failed to take into account the bad guy Su Bei. Without Su Bei, the little devil's train could have been safely transported to the First Army.
It's just that after Su Bei traveled through time, the so-called confidentiality work of the little devil was like a digestion.
While Su Bei was communicating with the system, the leader on the other side fell into deep thought after putting down the phone.
The commander of the 129th Division on the side saw the leader like this and immediately asked curiously.
"Chief, what's wrong? Is there something important when Su Bei calls? Looking at you like this, you are still hesitating?"
The teacher's words brought the leader back to his senses, and he immediately smiled slightly.
"Xiao Su called to say that a Japs train will pass by the Zhengtai Railway in a few days. He means that he wants us to send a troop."
"Go and rob this little devil's train, because it contains the copper that their arsenal needs very much. These are the raw materials for making bullets."
"But that's not what I'm hesitating about. I'm wondering whether Comrade Xiao Su's treatment should be improved, such as assigning him a guard platoon or even a guard company."
Hearing this, the commander of the 129th Division was very surprised.
"Guard platoon and guard company? Does this mean that Su Bei's status is at least equal to that of a brigade commander or even a division commander?"
During this period, the general main regiment would be equipped with a guard platoon to protect the safety of the regiment headquarters.
But you must know that this guard platoon serves the entire regiment, not a regiment leader, as in the head of the regiment.
There are only one or two guards around him at most. Just like Li Yunlong, as the leader of the independent regiment, he only has one guard around him.
And the average brigade commander only has two or three guards around him, which is the configuration of the front-line troops.
After all, in the frontline troops, no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow, so the purpose of having guards is there.
It is to protect the lives of these regiment commanders and brigade commanders as much as possible, in many cases.
When faced with danger, these guards will not hesitate to take bullets for these regiment commanders and brigade commanders.
