Wu Liangdong fell into deep thought, thinking about what kind of warhead material would meet Lin Mo's requirements. He had a vague idea in his mind, but he couldn't break the window paper.
"How about the rubber..."
"That's right..." Wu Liangdong slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, thinking in his heart, there really is no more suitable material than this.
"Young Master, you are so awesome. I haven't thought about it for a long time, but you said the most suitable thing as soon as you opened your mouth."
"Okay, stop shooting..." Lin Mo waved his hand, but he was in a good mood and said: "You can consider the warhead and soft materials at the first time, which is also very impressive."
Lin Mo's words were not polite. After all, Wu Liangdong was not him. Without the knowledge of future generations, he could think to this point, which could be said to have exceeded Lin Mo's expectations.
Of course, Lin Mo didn't tell Wu Liangdong directly, because he also wanted to try him and see what level he was at now.
"Old Wu, that's good. It seems you've been working hard lately!"
Wu Liangdong chuckled and replied: "Didn't I accept this job? I must treat it with care. I recently read some books and learned a little bit."
"There's no need to be modest. This is a good start. I have a lot of foreign military books. You can read more."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he gave Wu Liangdong his contact information and asked him to come and look for him if he needed it.
"Old Wu, what do you want from me? Can you tell me now?"
Wu Liangdong heard this and said: "Master, wait a moment, let's take a look at the seized weapons first, let me think about it again."
"Okay..." Lin Mo nodded, stood up, and walked out of the office where the conversation was taking place with Wu Liangdong.
"By the way, Lao Wu, don't call me old master or master from now on, especially in public. We are colleagues now."
"This..." Wu Liangdong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "But what should I call you? Captain Lin? Name? None of these are appropriate! Otherwise, you will suffer a little loss. I will call you by the name of my elders.
.”
"It's up to you, you don't have to suffer anything. You are a generation older than me, so just call me junior! It's just that I don't have the words..."
"No words..." Wu Liangdong had a question mark on his face and couldn't help but ask: "You... no... you are over twenty? Why haven't you expressed your name yet?"
"Uh..." Lin Mo was a little helpless, but he still explained: "I applied for the military academy without telling my family. I had a quarrel with my father in the past, and no one took a step back, so the matter was delayed.
Well... I might as well make a name myself, and call me Wang Sheng, Uncle Wu, and you can call me that from now on."
"No matter what, you should call me Lao Wu!" Wu Liangdong waved his hands quickly, not wanting to be called Uncle Wu.
Seeing this, Lin Mo said: "Uncle Wu, I have offended you a little before. Please forgive me. You have helped me a lot during this time. You have to accept this uncle."
Wu Liangdong refused again, and finally nodded under Lin Mo's tough attitude, but he always felt a little awkward.
"Wang... Sheng, what is the meaning of this word?"
Lin Mo heard this and explained: "Always keep hope in difficult situations, and life comes after despair. I think this meaning is good, so I used it."
"It's really good..." Wu Liangdong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Especially for someone in your field, this is indeed an excellent meaning."
As Lin Mo and the two of them talked, they arrived at the weapons warehouse they discovered. Wang Yinglong was leading people to take inventory here.
Most of the weapons and ammunition were stored in wooden ammunition boxes. Wang Yinglong had already brought people to move them to the ground, opened them and arranged them neatly. When Lin Mo came, he took them to visit.
There are about thirty boxes of weapons and ammunition in total. The first thing that catches the eye is two Czech rifles in one box, then four boxes of rifles, about ten in each box, and then a box of more than ten rifles.
.
What remained were eight boxes of various types of pistols, mostly Brownings, four boxes of several types, some a whole box, and some had already been taken away.
There are four boxes left, two boxes of Japanese-style Taisho 14th-year-old pistols, which are bastard boxes, and the other two boxes are box cannons and shell guns, and one box has been partially used.
The rest are all kinds of ammunition, which are also in abundance and shortage. There are also some boxes that have not been moved down and opened yet.
Wu Liangdong pointed to the tortoise box and said with some confusion: "Wang Sheng, why do the Japanese still use their own weapons? Doesn't this identify them?"
Wang Yinglong looked confused when he heard what Wu Liangdong called Lin Mo. Lin Mo explained and said to Wu Liangdong: "Uncle Wu, this is not surprising.
First of all, there may be Japanese spies who are used to using this gun and don't want to change it; secondly, there are some Japanese spies who operate as Japanese, so it is normal to use their own country's guns.
Finally, for some Japanese spies, they don’t usually encounter many dangers and need to use guns, but when they are used, they have already been exposed, so it doesn’t matter what gun they use.”
"Yes..." Wu Liangdong nodded, picked up a gun, and started playing with it. He looked very skillful.
"Uncle Wu, I see that you are quite familiar with this gun. Can you tell me about its performance?"
When Wu Liangdong heard this, he smiled awkwardly and replied: "I have studied it before, so I am familiar with it! Then I will tell you.
How should I put it? The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Let’s talk about the advantages first. The aiming baseline is long, just like various Japanese weapons, and the accuracy is very high.
There are many shortcomings. First of all, the design and workmanship do not meet the requirements. There are many problems with the firing pin and spring in cold environments. Secondly, the case jams and the magazine drops often occur, and the stability is not good.
The last thing is the power. It doesn't have enough penetration, so it can hit people without any problem, but it can't penetrate even thick wooden doors when it comes to obstacles.
Overall, it’s really not like yesterday. I definitely wouldn’t use it anyway. I’ve tried firing it before and it had frequent problems. I really can’t fire it. I don’t know if the Japanese still want to use it.”
"Everyone has his or her own preferences, radish and green vegetables! The Japanese are brainwashed every day. They don't care about glory and spirit all day long. How can they be willing to accept foreign weapons?"
Lin Mo didn't talk much about the matter. He turned his attention to a newly opened box and said: "Uncle Wu, if you are really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow! Let's see if you use this kind of twenty ring?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The newly opened box is a whole box of brand-new twenty-shot shell guns. However, Lin Mo remembers that there are many models of shell guns, and he does not know which one Wu Liangdong uses.
Not this.
"This is it..." Wu Liangdong smiled and took one, saying: "A brand new German-made twenty-shot shell gun. I'm really going to give you a pillow if I'm sleepy."
Lin Mo also got his hands on one and looked at it carefully. The craftsmanship was excellent and the operation was smooth, which made him want to play with it.
At this time, another box of weapons was brought in. Lin Mo was stunned, and it took him a while to realize. Isn't this a semi-automatic rifle that the Northeast Army asked foreign countries to design for it?
"Is there still this gun?" Wu Liangdong was also stunned, and then hurried forward, picking it up and observing with excitement.
"Uncle Wu, do you know this gun?"
"I know..." Wu Liangdong nodded and explained with a smile: "The ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle was designed and manufactured by the Northeast Army at the request of the Czech original factory.
The Northeast Army has purchased them in small batches, and we also have equipment here. As an infantry squad leader's equipment, I have been looking for it for a while, but I have never been able to get one. I didn't expect to see it here."
"Oh..." Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Uncle Wu, how is the performance?"
"Not bad..." Wu Liangdong commented, "This semi-automatic rifle is designed and manufactured by the original Czech light machine gun factory.
The gun is beautifully made, but its cost is high, its sales price is high, its structure is complex, it is easy to malfunction in harsh environments, and its reliability is not high.
Of course, these are just my inquiries. It is the real situation. It is best to find out from people who have actually used it.
Why...you don't want to equip it, do you? You have to be careful! According to what I know, what I said should be true."
Lin Mo listened and smiled: "Uncle Wu, our battles are mainly small-scale firefights in the city. The environment can be said to be very good. The environment is far less complicated and harsh than that of field troops.
So I think this gun should be available to sniper teams, taking advantage of semi-automatic advantages, as a fire support and cover weapon, but I don’t know if the accuracy meets the requirements.”
Wu Liangdong heard this, thought for a moment, and replied: "It is used for fire support and fire cover, and the urban combat distance is relatively close, so the accuracy does not need to be too high, as long as it reaches a normal level.
This gun comes from the Czech original factory, and it should be of this level. We will know after a specific test."
When Lin Mo heard this, he took out a semi-automatic rifle from the box and inspected it carefully.
"Uncle Wu, I'll leave it to you to install and adjust the scope and modify the muzzle. By the way, please help remove the aluminum heat shield on the handguard! It's too conspicuous."
"Okay, leave it to me, but there are a few guns! There are only five here, can they be used?"
Lin Mo listened and said: "Let's top it first! Use as much as you can. If the effect is good, we will find more in the future."
"Okay, I'll hurry up and get it for you. It's just a few tubes. It can be done in a few days. I'll have someone deliver it to you when it's done."
Lin Mo nodded and talked about some more details. Lin Mo took Wang Yinglong aside and said: "Yinglong, your sniper team is now composed of three people, the main and deputy shooters and the observer.
This gun can be assigned to the secondary shooter or observer to provide fire support and cover when necessary. You can go down and study the tactics.
When the gun comes out, send the researched tactics and the gun to my brother, the situation there may not be good."
"I understand..." Wang Yinglong nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't say any more.
Lin Mo and Wu Liangdong checked the guns and ammunition. After they found nothing wrong, they returned to the room where they had just talked.
"Uncle Wu, please tell me if you have anything to do! I will definitely help if I can solve it."
Wu Liangdong listened and said: "It's not that I want you to help me with anything, but I have an idea that I'm not sure about and I want to hear your opinion."
Lin Mo listened and asked: "Uncle Wu, please tell me what you think! I will try my best..."
After hearing this, Wu Liangdong no longer hesitated and said directly: "Wang Sheng, I want to make the repair shop bigger and stronger, and I don't want to keep guarding such a small factory.
I really like making guns now, and I don’t want to keep modifying them like this. I want to make our own guns.”
Lin Mo was slightly surprised by the ambition revealed by Wu Liangdong, but he had guessed it before and recovered after being stunned.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Lin Mo said: "Uncle Wu, your ambition is indeed beyond my expectation. I thought you just wanted to expand the repair shop?
But this is definitely not a bad thing. How can you achieve a career without any ambition? I support you.
It’s just that the matter is very important and I need to understand the situation clearly before I can help you. I need to ask you something.”
"Wang Sheng, don't be polite to me, just ask if you have any questions."
Lin Mo nodded and said: "Uncle Wu, although the technology of your factory is not bad, it is still too small in scale, with limited manpower and limited equipment. How do you solve these two problems?"
Wu Liangdong heard this and said: "I have found solutions to these two things, so you can rest assured.
In the past, there were many people like us who made guns secretly in private. Our technical level before was not even in the middle, and even now we may barely be in the upper reaches.
However, in recent years, the surrounding situation has stabilized, and this business has basically become unstoppable. Some have stopped, some have been arrested, and others have continued to work secretly.
If the intelligence office supports me, I can recruit these people and get at least thousands of experienced gun-makers with skills and experience.
Don't underestimate them. Many of them came from arsenals and repair shops in various places in the late Qing Dynasty or during the warlord rule. The rest are mostly apprentices taught by them, and their craftsmanship is definitely not bad.
There are also a small number of people who became monks on the way and succeeded through hard work. As long as these people have achieved something famous, it is definitely not simple, at least they are talented."
Lin Mo listened and nodded, not denying this. After all, during the melee, arsenals and repair shops were everywhere, and there must be many abilities among them.
It's just that due to various reasons, especially the poor government, these people don't have a platform to show their talents on the right path. Some of them are buried, and some of them go astray.
"As for the equipment, Scott from the cafe has a batch of them on hand, with a complete range of equipment, including guns, bullets and even artillery, as well as equipment for the production of artillery shells.
Moreover, the equipment is relatively advanced. It is not bad abroad, but it is better at home. It can basically be said to be the most advanced.
The price is not expensive either, it is only 20% higher than the foreign market price. You must know that it is difficult to buy in China, and the purchase price is more than this, which is considered fair.
I originally planned to slowly develop the repair shop, but suddenly there was such a good opportunity, and I didn't want to give up and wanted to get this batch of equipment.
It’s just that there are more devices, and they are packaged and sold together, not separately, so the total price is very high, and I don’t know if the department will agree to this.”
Lin Mo frowned after hearing this. It wasn't that everyone in the department disagreed. After all, the equipment was advanced enough and the price was reasonable. You could buy it without even using it.
What Lin Mo doesn't understand is what purpose Scott has. After all, he is an arms dealer and sells weapons production equipment. Isn't this cutting off his own business?
With Scott's greed for money, Lin Mo didn't believe that he would cut off his business. There must be some way to it.
