Zhang Wanhe was in a good mood that day because the Lujiagou Arsenal was officially established.
To commemorate this important day, Zhang Wanhe used his savings to prepare a table of food and wine and called several branch directors to celebrate.
Of course, Xiao Dongbei is indispensable among them.
Wang Xuexin said "yo" as soon as he entered the door: "It's quite rich, director, you spent a lot of money, right?"
I saw a jar of Fenjiu opened on the table, with fragrant oiled pork on the edge and a bowl of freshly cooked white rice. In the middle was a golden and juicy sweet and sour carp, plus a mellow and delicious quail eggplant, and served with
A few fresh green vegetables made Wang Xuexin's mouth water.
The directors all looked at it with eyes wide open. They didn't even have enough to eat at this time, but here there was both wine and meat. How could they not make people greedy?
"It doesn't cost much!" Zhang Wan took off his apron and smiled, inviting everyone to sit down, and then introduced: "The carp was caught in the Yaokan River, the quail was given by the security company, and the fellow villagers also gave some dried tomatoes and green vegetables.
In other words, you have to pay for the pork and the wine from your own pocket!"
Zhang Wanhe poured wine for everyone as he spoke, then picked up the bowl and said: "Come on, let's officially establish the arsenal. Let's go one by one!"
After a few bowls of wine, Zhang Wanhe said: "Xiao Dongbei, it's all thanks to you that we can find a home in this arsenal!"
"Director!" Wang Xuexin quickly picked up the wine bowl and returned the gift: "What you said, I haven't been able to help you at all!"
Wang Xuexin really didn't help at all. This was the first time he came back, and he felt ashamed in his heart!
Zhang Wanhe said "Hey": "Don't you have a mission? Yes, we still have some ideological awareness! Don't worry about it!"
"That's not what the factory director said!" Su Xin put a piece of fish in Wang Xuexin's bowl and explained: "How dare I bother you, a fighting hero, with a job like moving the factory? The factory director keeps thinking about it all day long, 'I want to do it.
If it weren’t for Xiaodongbei, how could we still have this factory?”
Wang Xuexin thought he was talking about the Shuiyaozi Arsenal, so he replied: "How long has it been since then? The director of the factory is still worried about this?"
"You think you're just a water kid?" Zhang Wanhe took a sip of wine and shook his head: "I say Xiao Dongbei, you are a devil and a devil when it comes to fighting. The devils can't do anything to you, so why don't you do some things?
How about enlightenment?"
"That's right, Xiao Dongbei!" Wu Jin picked up a quail leg and gnawed on it. "Usually, our arsenal has to be ready to move at any time. We don't even have a formal name. If it weren't for your anti-slope fortifications,
Devil, can our factory be located in Lujiagou?"
After Wu Jin said this, Wang Xuexin understood the meaning of Zhang Wanhe's words.
In the past, the Eighth Route Army was weak, and the Japanese could penetrate the base area with one shot. As long as the Japanese were willing, there was no place they could not attack.
Therefore, the arsenal has to hide and be ready to move at any time.
It's different now. The anti-slope fortifications were built without being hit at the drop of a hat. The Japanese had to pay with their lives if they wanted to get past.
Therefore, the arsenal dares to locate somewhere, which is more conducive to the long-term and stable development of the arsenal.
"There are also tunnels!" Zhang Ruozhong added: "Our current new factory was built with tunnels!"
"That's right!" Hardware nodded repeatedly: "Without your authentic ideas, no one would have known it could be done like this! The factory wouldn't be able to move there!"
Before the meal, Wang Xuexin visited the new factory, which is located on Dujiao Mountain a mile away from the village to the west. The characteristic of this mountain is that there are many natural caves and the space is quite large.
Zhang Wanhe has long had the idea of moving the arsenal into caves, but the caves are scattered one by one, with only mountain roads connecting them, while the arsenal needs to go through a process.
For example, to produce a hand grenade, each branch factory must complete the work and transport the items to the third factory for assembly.
It is definitely inconvenient to complete these processes in caves that are not connected to each other. Moving things around will reduce the efficiency a lot.
So the matter was delayed again and again.
After Xiaodongbei invented the tunnel, Zhang Wanhe had an idea. Why not dig tunnels between these caves to drive them together? Add a conveyor belt... Then the parts can be transported at will!
It's finally worked out until now.
Not only the problem of parts transportation is solved, but also the problem of storage, loading and unloading of materials and finished products...
A larger cave is built at the foot of the mountain. Cars can drive directly into the cave. Materials are transported up from this conveyor belt, and finished products are transported down from that conveyor belt and directly loaded into trucks for transportation.
The entire system is both safe and confidential, so it can be developed and expanded with confidence.
"Our new factory!" Zhang Wanhe happily patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder and said, "In just over a month, we added a boiler and three generators, all modified from car engines!
I usually worry about too much stuff and it’s too heavy to take with me, but now I don’t have to worry about it anymore!”
Zhang Wanhe chuckled: "Xiao Dongbei, don't say you didn't help? You have given the arsenal a home! Without you on the front line to block the Japanese, the arsenal would not be where it is today!"
As he spoke, Zhang Wanhe raised his wine bowl again and said, "Here, let's go. Go home and take a look when you have time. I'm a bad old man and there's nothing good to see. It's just these directors who always talk about you.
My ears are calloused!"
As he spoke, Zhang Wanhe glanced at Su Xin intentionally or unintentionally.
Everyone smiled understandingly. They all knew that the "several directors" Zhang Wanhe said actually meant Su Xin.
Although Su Xin understood in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything. She hurriedly lowered her head and picked up her rice to cover up.
Zhang Wanhe saw this and felt a little unhappy.
These two guys are really good, one is reserved and the other is confused. After doing this for a long time, the layer of window paper is still indestructible. How long will it last?
He wanted to help, so he touched Wang Xuexin with his wine bowl and asked, "Xiao Dongbei, are you too old at your age?"
Wang Xuexin mixed the oily meat into the rice, and while wolfing it down, he answered vaguely: "It's twenty after the Chinese New Year!"
"Twenty is not too young!" Zhang Wanhe said: "I already married a wife at your age. In such a chaotic situation, I have to think about myself earlier!"
"Why didn't you consider it?" Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "I shared a horse with the regiment leader, and last time I shared half a load of salt and fifty kilograms of rice! When I save enough for a house, I will
Get a wife and live your life!"
Zhang Wanhe almost spit out the wine in his mouth with a "pop" sound. Why don't you act like a wife who doesn't need money in front of you? You are so stupid that you still want to save money to marry a wife? Who do you want to marry?
Looking at Su Xin again, her face that was sunny just now turned dark.
Zhang Wanhe said to himself that it would be a disservice!
