Chapter 590: The Super Factory of the King of Shanxi
As the governor of a province, Comrade Lao Yan rarely gives people difficult definitions.
But Liu Lang obviously fits this point.
It was proposed to visit the most central departmental arsenal in Shanxi. Of course, Comrade Lao Yan wanted to use this to show Liu Lang's strength to attract him to join the Jin Dynasty. Even if he couldn't work together, whether it was to intimidate or get close to him, he still wanted to let this man in the army
A rising star in the world who plans to leave a lasting impression.
In fact, Comrade Lao Yan had the idea of testing Liu Lang's reaction.
Everyone knows the importance of the Shanxi Arsenal to Shanxi.
Regardless of whether Liu Lang was surprised, hesitant, or silent, Comrade Lao Yan could always use this to understand Liu Lang's temperament and even his tendency towards the current situation.
If Liu Lang agreed quietly, Comrade Lao Yan would definitely disappear completely in front of Liu Lang by either urinating or fecesing. As for saying what he just said, he would naturally be unable to do anything.
Comrade Lao Yan would naturally keep a respectful distance from a person who is very scheming and very likely to lean towards the bald boss. The reason for this judgment is that Lao Yan has already analyzed Liu Lang's personality from the intelligence about Liu Lang.
You draw your own conclusions, but when you see them with your own eyes, they are completely different. How can a person who can pretend to be different people in front of different people not be very scheming? Of course, the most important thing is not this. In terms of scheming, the whole of China can
The number above Lao Yan is probably only ten fingers.
The most important thing is that being silent means coveting. Hunters wait for the prey to be hooked, and fishermen wait for the fish to take the bait. Isn't that the case? Coveting means being ambitious. Who has the thickest legs in China at this time? The result is natural
it goes without saying.
As for the issue of independent mountain tops, Comrade Lao Yan can only say that you are overthinking. Today's China is not the China where warlords were fighting each other ten years ago. Even Comrade Lao Yan, who is in the two provinces of Shanxi and Suizhou, has to fight in the bald country.
He was very cautious under the powerful man, let alone a fledgling leader like Liu Lang.
No matter how hard we fight, one division is not enough, two is not enough, two is not enough, three is not enough. Just counting the Central Army numbers of the bald boss’s direct lineage will make people despair. The Red Party must be tenacious enough. Once mobilized, there will be tens of thousands of people.
It occupies more than half of the province, but under the siege of an army of 500,000 by the bald boss, it is not only in danger, but is about to be annihilated.
Anyway, no matter what kind of mood Liu Lang was in, the King of Shanxi, who was quite accurate in judging people, could make a new definition of Liu Lang, but Liu Lang happened to talk about his old Taishan coming to buy cannon shells and mountain cannons two months ago.
It means that I remember your favor. This time, I am not a colonel of the national army, but a purely private person. Don't overthink it.
A very interesting young man, more interesting than rumored.
.......
The Taiyuan Arsenal, which has been rebuilt for more than a year, is located next to a temple called Thousand Buddhas outside the small north gate of Taiyuan City. This location is not unfamiliar to Liu Lang. The Shanxi Branch of the Republic Northern Manufacturing Company, which he once visited, is here, and the original Taiyuan
Several old factories of the arsenal are still well preserved and are used as museums. They are also the best preserved arsenal in the Republic after 80 years.
Although he already knew that the Taiyuan Arsenal was actually the most advanced arsenal in the country, Liu Lang was still shocked when he walked with Comrade Lao Yan in the dark gray spire factory and listened to Lao Yan explaining to him personally.
Liu Lang himself has worked in arsenals, so what kind of big scene has he not seen? If the many arsenals of the Republic hidden in the mountains are operated at full capacity, they can produce equipment that is many times greater than what is here in a month.
However, in this era, in this era where even light industries such as matchheads are extremely scarce in people's minds in the future, there is an arsenal of such a large scale in Taiyuan City, and it is an arsenal that has declined from its heyday.
Liu Lang also finally understood why before the Battle of Xinkou, Comrade Lao Yan tried every means to relocate this huge arsenal, but in the end only 2% was moved, and the remaining 98% fell into the hands of the enemy. Finally, Liu Lang knew why.
I understand why the little Japanese almost emptied the Taiyuan Arsenal. Not only did they move it to Northeast China, they even put it on a ship and shipped it to Japan.
Because the Taiyuan Arsenal has all kinds of mechanical equipment, such as deep bore boring machines, turning machines, milling machines, vertical rotary turning machines, drilling machines, slotting machines, presses, air hammers, bullhead planers, gantry planers, etc., and they are not ordinary goods.
They were all newly purchased from Britain and Germany, with the number reaching nearly 5,000, and the stockpiles of various raw materials amounted to 300,000 tons.
For the Japanese who are short of supplies, these are simply more exciting than the ocean.
"Haha, Captain Liu, I heard that your father also opened a machine factory to produce firearms. How does it compare with my machine factory?" Comrade Lao Yan looked at Liu Lang with a smile.
Liu Lang couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Lao Yan was a little unreasonable. One was the largest arsenal in the country, and even though it had not yet returned to its peak, Liu Lang remembered the logs placed in the factory that became a museum.
It is clearly recorded that as long as this year is over, by next year the arsenal will be able to achieve a monthly production of 800 65 rifles, 3,000 79 rifles, 3,000 submachine guns, 600 Czech light machine guns, 90 92 heavy machine guns, and mortars.
150 guns, 80,000 artillery shells, 300,000 grenades, 1.5 million bullets, and 123 tons of explosives. The annual output is 40 Jin-17 mountain guns, 200 type 12 mountain guns, 150 field guns, 24 heavy guns, and the largest field gun
Range 11 kilometers.
Compared to the Taiyuan Arsenal, which could even produce heavy artillery, and even heard that it began to build aircraft in the late Anti-Japanese War, the Liu Lang Independent Regiment's machinery factory, which was supported by German doctors and hundreds of workers, was just a small workshop.
The two have a hairy rivalry.
Of course, Liu Lang knew the olive branch extended by Comrade Lao Yan, which meant that if he saw the strength here, he would get whatever he wanted.
This is how smart people talk without having to avoid anyone. They say one thing but convey another meaning.
Of course, if you don’t understand, then you don’t understand. People who don’t understand will not tell the story in the future. Just like when Sun Wukong met Patriarch Bodhi, if Sun Wukong took those three blows, he would think that the Patriarch gave way.
If he studies mathematics, maybe there will be no shortage of accounting clerks in Tathagata Buddha's Western Heaven.
"How can the machinery factory founded by my father compare with the 20-year-old machinery factory founded by Chief Yan? I have to say that seeing it is better than hearing it. They say that Taiyuan's military industry is the best in the world. Only when I saw it today did Liu Lang know everything.
The reputation is based on decades of hard work by Chief Yan. These thousands of mechanical equipment and technicians are the hard work of the people of Shanxi! It's just..." Liu Lang looked at the rumbling machinery in front of him.
With the flow of people running back and forth, I couldn't help but sigh solemnly.
This is not Liu Lang's flattery of Comrade Lao Yan. These thousands of various types of precision machinery were obtained in exchange for nothing. If converted, they would be worth hundreds of millions.
However, most of them turned out to be cheap, which made Liu Lang somewhat depressed.
Comrade Lao Yan looked at Liu Lang with some surprise.
Liu Lang's tactful refusal to solicit was already expected, but looking at these machines that can make guns and cannons, the young colonel's eyes were not filled with envy but more...
It's a kind of thing. Based on Comrade Lao Yan's life experience, it can even be attributed to a kind of inexplicable anger, which makes Comrade Lao Yan somewhat confused.
