Early the next morning, Zhou Wen went to receive the military camp that Zhao Changshu's security camp had helped sort out. Zhang Cheng, who had been promoted to battalion commander, already knew that his brother Zhang An was now the security captain of Lishi County, so he was naturally even more grateful to Zhou Wen.
The people who took care of the barracks were also very attentive, and Zhou Wen was very satisfied after seeing it.
The barracks occupies a large area, enough to accommodate more than a thousand people, and has all kinds of facilities. The large playground, stables and warehouses are all neatly kept. There are enough military uniforms, shoes, cotton-padded clothes and sheets for more than 500 people in the warehouse.
It was piled up in a corner. Basically, except for weapons, the individual equipment of the Jin army was complete.
There is actually a two-story building facing the street of the barracks. Yes, this building will be the headquarters of the mercenary group in the future. Zhou Wen said to Old Uncle Wu who came with him: "Old Uncle Wu, you guys will move here today. The garrison headquarters will specially
Lend us a company for temporary use, and then return it to us after the guard team is established. This company will listen to your advice in the past few days to see if there is anything else that needs to be added to the camp. It has been prepared. The recruitment order has been issued.
From surrounding counties, it is estimated that recruits who live near Taiyuan will come to report next week. Let's make all preparations."
At this time, Zhang Cheng, the guard battalion commander of the garrison headquarters who was following Zhou Wen around, quickly stepped forward, pointed at a young officer behind him and said, "Young master, this is my company commander Li. They will obey your orders starting today."
Zhou Wen looked at Captain Li who stood at attention and saluted him, nodded, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Cheng said from the side: "Why are you so hardworking? You're welcome, Young Master. He is from Jundu and a fellow from Lishi." Zhou Wen smiled.
When he got up, Zhao Changshu still couldn't get rid of his hometown complex. Most of the guard camp was from the Lishi area. It was more convenient to use it now.
Zhou Wen continued: "Since you are a fellow countryman, you are welcome. Company Commander Li, immediately arrange for a platoon to go to the provincial party headquarters and hand over the party headquarters' door guards and security work to them. Then send a platoon to replace the guards at the Taiyuan Arsenal.
Come down. Starting today, the Taiyuan Arsenal will be guarded by us. Battalion Commander Zhang, you take him to handle it. Leave one person behind to guard the barracks and follow Captain Wu’s command."
"Yes!" Zhang Cheng and Captain Li responded in unison.
After Zhou Wen made arrangements, he drove back to the office. At the door, he heard from his brothers that Commissioner Huang was waiting for him in his office. Zhou Wen was overjoyed, as the target was finally achieved.
Going upstairs and entering the office, Zhou Wen was surprised when he saw Commissioner Huang. He was in low spirits and was smoking heavily with two black eyes.
It turned out that Zhou Wen's plan last night was very clever. It not only aroused Huang Yisheng's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, but also changed the topic and ended the dinner in an understatement at the critical moment. This made Huang Yisheng even more anxious to know the conclusion of the data.
After returning last night, Huang Yisheng had almost no sleep all night, and his mind was constantly fighting. He knew that the fastest way to obtain raw data was to use the workers and equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal. As long as he built a few prototype guns, he would soon be able to obtain the data he urgently needed.
If you want to know the data, then Shenyang Arsenal can learn from it or change its ideas.
If you wait until Hobert reports the design plan to the German Mauser Company, let’s not talk about the length of time. The key is why should you tell you the data from other people’s experiments? It has become Mauser’s technical data. Even if Hobert
Bert is a good friend and friendly enough, and he is willing to reveal a few things to you for Zhou Wen's sake (in fact, he is not very familiar with Zhou Wen), but after half a year and a year, he has no idea where he is. Time waits for no one.
What should I do? Huang Yisheng thought about it, but in the end his curiosity prevailed. The key is that if he agrees to use the equipment and workers from the Taiyuan Arsenal, it means that he has also participated in the project, and then he will have the right to know all kinds of data.
And it was still justified. What's more, it was just a rifle production workshop, not mass production, so it was not a dereliction of duty. After giving myself various reasons, I finally made up my mind.
If it is done, there will be future trouble if it is cut off continuously.
After he finished telling Zhou Wen his purpose, Zhou Wen said in surprise: "Commissioner Huang, the suggestion you made is of course the best and fastest, but will it have any impact on you? If it affects you and the Northeast Army,
If you have a relationship with the upper class, then the gains outweigh the losses. I suggest you think about it again."
This product is so cheap but it still sells well!
Commissioner Huang said a little embarrassedly: "It won't have much impact. As long as we don't do it in a big way, it won't be easy for others to notice. It's just that your senior, Commander Zhao, may not be easy to talk to. After all, he is in charge of the seals and guards of the arsenal.
"
Haha, these two brothers are really close friends, and they both know each other's upright and rigorous nature.
Zhou Wen looked at Huang Yisheng with a slightly strange look and said: "Commissioner Huang, what a coincidence. The senior who is responsible for guarding the arsenal has been handed over to our party security team. I just came back from arranging the replacement arrangements today. How about that?
Let’s forget it, others may think it’s a trap deliberately arranged by me, it’s such a coincidence that I can’t explain it clearly.”
"No, no, no, this is a God-given opportunity. God will make it happen for us. It will be easy to handle now. As long as the two of us keep it secret, there will be no serious problems. But don't tell your senior, otherwise
I don’t even have the shame to see him.”
Zhou Wen is happy. I'm afraid he is embarrassed to see you. These two brothers are still amazing.
After that, Commissioner Huang said with a little embarrassment: "It's just that the cost of making a gun is not a small amount. The wages of the workers alone cost a lot. Besides, if we want to make one, we can't just make one. It will take at least dozens or hundreds to get the desired result."
The desired result. This funding..."
Zhou Wen almost burst out laughing in his heart, okay, you said everything I wanted to say, you can't blame me. He immediately took the word "righteousness" to his head, patted his chest and said: "Commissioner Huang, I'm afraid you don't know, my family is Lishi
I'm going to ask for money from my family. You don't have to worry about the expenses. I'll take care of everything. After all, I want to provide equipment for my troops."
"Then if the experiment is really successful and you have sufficient funds, you can produce a few hundred more and equip all your troops. After all, the guns purchased from Germany are of good quality, but they are expensive! I will do this.
The decision is made, don't refuse. We can't let you spend money on imports and buy expensive ones after spending money. I believe that the products produced by Taiyuan Arsenal should be fine for ordinary troops. You can just buy a few more German products for the elites.
It’s too much money. It’s not worth it.”
Oh my god! What a good man! Zhou Wen was starting to feel a little embarrassed. If he hadn't thought that the Shenyang Arsenal would become Japanese after September 18th next year, Zhou Wen would have handed over the complete drawings to him.
Huang Yisheng's gentlemanly demeanor moved Zhou Wen. Now Zhou Wen began to feel uncomfortable - a gentleman can deceive him, but it is best not to deceive him. If you are also an upright person, you will feel guilty...
