Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lao Wang from the clothing factory was obviously stunned for a moment.

It seems.

It looks a little awkward.

"What? Is there any problem?" Zhou Yu asked.

Factory Manager Wang quickly shook his head and said, "Ah, no problem, no problem, let's go, I'll take you to have a look."

Zhou Yu is the logistics director transferred from the headquarters. He wants to inspect the arsenal built in the border area. Naturally, Lao Wang does not dare to stop him.

Can be a problem.

The border arsenal managed by their logistics department...is really nothing worth seeing.

It is said to be an arsenal, but in fact it can only produce some bullets.

And this is the so-called border area manufacturing bullets.

They are all made from bullet casings picked up on the battlefield and reloaded with ammunition.

Because the cartridge cases are reused, most bullet warheads are also polished from iron. The iron contains a lot of impurities, coupled with the rough grinding technique, the weight of the warhead is not well controlled, and the sealing between the warhead and the cartridge case is also insufficient.

.

This resulted in a large deviation in the bullets fired by the soldiers.

But even so.

Bullets made in the border areas are still in short supply in our army.

Even for main forces such as the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment, each soldier can only be allocated ten rounds.

This is just the main force.

If it is a guerrilla, militia, or county brigade, each person can only have three or four rounds of ammunition.

Under the leadership of Lao Wang, Zhou Yu finally saw the arsenal.

here.

But it is much more dilapidated than the previous clothing factory.

A dozen gray-faced middle-aged men were making reloading bullets around a broken wooden table.

Zhou Yu watched them, put a primer into the bullet case, poured in the black powder, and inserted the warhead.

Bullets are "produced" in this way.

"Is this the only arsenal factory we build in the border area?" Zhou Yu asked, looking at Factory Director Wang.

You must know that our Huangyadong arsenal can still produce some weapons of "substandard quality".

Can be made in the border area...

Zhou Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

Director Wang heard what he said and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, in addition to these bullets, we also have special grenades!"

"Hey, come here and see me!"

The words fell.

Zhou Yu, led by Factory Director Wang, walked out of the house.

Then.

Then I saw the "special grenade" that Lao Wang said.

"Is this the grenade you're talking about?" Zhou Yu's eyes widened, as if I believed you.

The so-called special grenades are, at best, nothing more than a life-long iron firecracker.

Using black powder as the charge, a pig iron shell that produced countless blisters during sand casting, and adding an unreliable friction fuse and a wooden handle?

That's it?

I still hope to use it for fighting...

No wonder Li Yunlong dislikes the grenades made in the border area.

After all, there are only two pieces when fried!

Look at the little devil's Type 97 grenade, it has forty-eight petals when it explodes!

How does this compare?

Zhou Yu sighed.

But he didn't pay too much attention. He turned to the arsenal workers who were making grenades and asked: "Comrades, what did you do before?"

The employees looked at Zhou Yu and then at each other without speaking.

They don't know this new leader yet.

When Wang, the boss of the quilt factory, saw this, he quickly introduced to everyone: "This is the director of the logistics department of our border area, Zhou Yu!"

"I just want to know more and ask, what did you do before?" Zhou Yu continued to ask.

"Speak quickly!" Lao Wang saw no one answered, so he urged.

These disgraced workers in the arsenal started talking one after another.

"I used to be a blacksmith. In those years when the Nanhe River flooded, I escaped from that side."

"We used to be a carpenter!"

"Chief, I used to be a member of the Jinsui Army. Later I fought with the Japanese and was rescued by you. I have stayed in our army ever since."

"..."

These people were talking all over the place, and Zhou Yu could only listen roughly.

but.

He also knew in his heart that none of this group of people had ever actually made weapons!

to be honest.

Zhou Yu was a little disappointed at this time. He turned around and found that the grenades that several employees were making were not made of cast iron shells, but were instead polished with stones that resembled a grenade shape.

"Why don't you use iron? Can a stone be powerful?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked, pointing to the stone grenade.

Stone?

Make a grenade?

If we still expect to fight, aren't we making fun of the lives of frontline soldiers?

after all.

This thing doesn't look like a landmine.

Landmines are made of stone, so they can avoid being detected by small devils using metal detectors, which is beneficial.

Your grenade is made of stone, which has a huge advantage!

Upon hearing Zhou Yu's question, Lao Wang from the quilt factory explained to him: "Political Commissar Zhou, you don't know something. The Japanese have recently blocked the area in northwestern Shanxi too hard. We can't get iron ore metal."

"Now there is a huge demand for weapons made in our border areas!"

"I have no choice but to do this."

Hear Lao Wang’s explanation.

Zhou Yu's complexion suddenly turned bad. He had heard about this at the Huangyadong Arsenal.

and.

It's not just the little devils who blockade our army.

The Jinsui Army and the National Army are also very strict. As for the principle of joint resistance, just listen to it. They are now wary of the development of our army.

The employees at the arsenal didn't know what Zhou Yu was thinking. Seeing his expression, they quickly added: "Although grenades can't help, we still have explosive packs we made ourselves. Why don't you take a look?"

Explosive package?

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's all, it's not like I just stopped reading. I'm afraid I'll feel even worse after reading it!"

It's really uncomfortable.

He felt particularly uncomfortable just thinking about our soldiers fighting against the Japs on the battlefield, bleeding and fighting, while not even being able to secure weapons from the rear.

Zhou Yu walked out of the arsenal.

Lao Wang and the employees of the arsenal followed him.

"You guys go and do your own thing. I'm strolling around, so you don't have to follow me!" He waved his hands and dismissed the employees of the arsenal, as well as Lao Wang.

After walking to a place with few people.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, and then said silently in his heart: "The most powerful military industry sign-in system, I want to sign in here!"

system?

That’s right! That’s it!

When he first traveled to this world, the system had actually been activated. After getting to know it during that time, he knew that this system could provide different levels of rewards depending on where you signed in.

As for rewards...

Most of them are weapons manufacturing equipment.

For example, a bullet production line, a grenade production line, and so on.

These are what the military factories currently need.

Before joining the Independent Regiment, he had donated the machine tool manufacturing rewards he had received to the Huangyadong Arsenal of our army free of charge in the name of donations from Jinling University alumni studying abroad.

In fact, he can keep doing this and slowly and completely support the Huangyadong Arsenal!

Until it exceeds the little devil’s arsenal!

but.

The headquarters of the Huangyadong Arsenal takes a very serious view, and they are all the core personnel of our military's top management there.

There are many things that he can't get involved in.

In addition, Zhou Yu didn't want to expose some of his secrets, and at the same time, he still had his own little plans in mind.

Anyway, various reasons accumulated, and he came to the border area.

at this time.

Zhou Yu had just finished communicating with the system in his mind.

The system's beep sounded in his mind.
Chapter completed!
