As soon as Wang Xuexin heard what Li Yunlong said, he knew that this guy was going to sell equipment again.
Of course rocket launchers can be sold, and they must be sold!
The production of its core technology, solid gunpowder columns, is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army and can be sold boldly and confidently.
Chu Yunfei can indeed produce solid gunpowder columns, but he can only produce them in small quantities, and they are extremely dangerous.
This old production method may be suitable for making rocket launchers. After all, the rocket launchers are small in size and have a small charge. If Chu Yunfei adds more manpower and spends more time, he can barely meet the anti-tank needs of the 358th Regiment.
But rocket launchers...
This thing has a caliber of 107 mm. The solid gunpowder charge of one artillery rocket is equivalent to ten barrel rockets. With Chu Yunfei's monthly output of one hundred barrel rockets, it would be
Only ten artillery rockets can be produced.
Ten artillery rockets...are less than the output of the Eighth Route Army in one day, and cannot fit into one rocket launcher.
At that time, Chu Yunfei would discover the fact that the Jin army was "stuck" and could only turn to the Eighth Route Army for help. For the Eighth Route Army, long-term business would really come.
This process is a bit like creating Thomson.
When Jin made Thomson at the Taiyuan Arsenal, its output was very large, with a monthly output of 900 pieces and an annual output of tens of thousands.
At that time, Yan Laoxi did not treat such high-cost guns as treasures, but gave away 2,000 guns here and 500 guns there. Even the Eighth Route Army received 500 guns as gifts.
When various armies were equipped with this gun and were able to shoot it smoothly, problems immediately arose... Jin-made submachine guns used 11.43mm pistol bullets. Only the Taiyuan Arsenal in China could produce them. After shooting, they could only buy bullets from Yan Laoxi at a high price.
If you make Yan Laoxi unhappy, I will cut off your confession.
So this gun not only makes money, but also becomes a diplomatic bargaining chip and strategic weapon.
(Note: The Jin-made submachine gun claims that the bullet is 11.23 mm, but it is actually 11.47 mm that is common with Yingjiang)
However, after the Taiyuan Arsenal was occupied by the Japanese, the bullets produced by the several production lines snatched by Yan Laoxi could only be used by the Jin army, and the external supply could only be cut off, thus losing this influence.
At this time, things were turning, and it was the Eighth Route Army's turn to use rocket launcher technology to jam Yan Laoxi's neck.
What Wang Xuexin didn't expect was that Li Yunlong was much more skilled than Yan Laoxi... He couldn't compare to Yan Laoxi before because "it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." Now that there is rice to cook, how can he not take this opportunity to kill him?
His knife?
Li Yunlong looked at the several single-barreled rocket launchers in front of him that were supported by tripods, and felt a little confused.
Something is wrong, each of these is too simple, right?
It seems inappropriate to call it a cannon sold at a high price.
What's more important is... for such a simple thing, it's easy for people to think of putting them together to form multiple tubes.
If they knew that they were dealing with multiple regulators, would they make less money in the future?
Thinking about this, Li Yunlong waved to Wang Xuexin, raised his head at the single-barreled rocket launcher, and said, "Xiao Dongbei, see if you can make this thing look like a gun!"
Wang Xuexin immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant and replied: "It must be possible! Just shorten the bracket, weld an axle, and install two wheels and that's almost it!"
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" Li Yunlong nodded his head: "It would be more useful if... I got an iron sheet as a gun shield. I hate that the child can't trap the wolf!"
Wang Xuexin cursed "I'll go" in his heart, why the hell did you call "Iron Bar" "child"?
Soon the little cannon was ready.
The gun barrel is a short-barreled rocket launcher, the gun mantlet is the iron sheet ripped off from the car, and the gun wheels are the steel hubs of the car wheels.
Li Yunlong looked a little dissatisfied and frowned: "I mean, Xiao Dongbei, can't you put a few tires on your wheels? Can you make people believe they are cannons?"
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin was also helpless: "The tires have been cut to release smoke. We won't be able to find them for a while, so we'll just make do with it! Anyway... it's for sale to others, not for our own use!
"
This was Wang Xuexin's mistake... Previously he only thought that burning the rubber and releasing smoke would be a way to deal with the Japanese Air Force, so all the car tires were torn off overnight.
But now rocket launchers still need tires!
This does not mean that Chu Yunfei needs this gun, but that the towed rocket launcher that Wang Xuexin is considering also needs it. At that time, he will really have to buy it in the enemy-occupied area and then transport it back with all the hardships.
However, this is not a problem for the time being, because the production of rockets for artillery of the Eighth Route Army is not large yet, and for the time being, it is still developing to install them on cars.
Li Yunlong could only nod his head, then looked around the cannon and said, "Okay! Let's do it. Maybe others will recognize that this is the style of our Eighth Route Army!"
Li Yunlong really guessed this matter correctly.
When trading in Longfengping that night, Chu Yunfei also came.
Chu Yunfei played some tricks at the last moment.
He actually didn't want to give those one hundred Jin-made submachine guns... If this thing was nothing in the old days when the Taiyuan Arsenal could produce 900 guns a month, it would be no problem to give one hundred submachine guns to Li Yunlong.
But now, the monthly output of the Jin Army has dropped sharply to more than 50 bullets per month. One hundred bullets is nearly two months' output. Plus the 10,000 rounds of bullets that are not enough for the Jin Army, it is quite a lot to give them out.
My flesh aches.
Therefore, Chu Yunfei first transported the grain one cart at a time to Longfengping, placing the submachine guns at the back.
After Chu Yunfei exchanged a few polite words with Li Yunlong, he said: "Brother Yunlong, Chu's food supply is almost gone. Isn't it time for your cannon to show off?"
Chu Yunfei thought to himself, I just need to see what your gun looks like, and then I say I won’t buy it. What else can you do to me?
How could Li Yunlong not know what Chu Yunfei was thinking? He laughed a few times and replied: "Brother Chu, we are not in a hurry! We are all doing long-term business, can Brother Chu still not trust me?"
"Isn't that right!" Chu Yunfei's face darkened and he said, "Brother Yunlong, that's not how business works! Although we pay one hand and deliver the goods, there is no problem with Chu inspecting the goods first, right?"
"Brother Chu!" Li Yunlong shook his head and replied proudly: "If you want to inspect the goods, you have to understand it. It's not that we won't let you inspect it. If any of you understand this gun, I, Li Yunlong, won't say anything.
I’ll give this cannon to Brother Chu right away! I, Li Yunlong, don’t want a penny from it!”
Chu Yunfei was speechless for a moment.
The Jin army didn't have this thing, and of course they didn't know how to do it.
Since you don’t know anything about it, why should you test it?
Li Yunlong acted as if he wanted to buy it or not, either trade it or leave.
Chu Yunfei had no choice but to raise his head towards Sun Ming. Sun Ming understood and then brought up a car equipped with Jin-made submachine guns and bullets.
When you get to Li Yunlong's side, you need to inspect the goods first.
