"Okay, tell me how to give me the barrel?" Shanxi Wang figured out the key, and his expression relaxed, and he looked at Liu Lang with a little more expectation.
If there is no need to import from abroad, it will save a lot of trouble. Although he does not have much hope that Liu Lang can provide gun barrels, after all, as Liu Lang said, the current domestic smelting technology
The ability to smelt synthetic tungsten gun steel has not yet been achieved. Even heavy machine gun barrel steel is imported from abroad.
"Give me one year, and I can provide you with no less than a thousand 150-caliber gun barrels. The price is one-third of what foreign companies import, and the quality is absolutely no less than that of foreign companies." Liu Lang said confidently.
.
"Your father's machinery company has developed a method of smelting gun steel?" Comrade Lao Yan's eyes began to shine, and his attitude towards Liu Lang became much kinder.
If that were the case, Liu Lang would be enough to ask him to give him more courtesy.
No matter what era it is, technology represents productivity, and productivity represents war potential. As the master of two provinces, Comrade Lao Yan knows this better than anyone else.
Liu Lang possesses such skills, which are not even inferior to his own military ability.
"No, such smelting technology is not only strictly controlled by Western countries, but our current equipment is not up to it for the time being." Liu Lang poured cold water on the hopeful Comrade Lao Yan honestly.
"Then..." Comrade Lao Yan's eyes were filled with disappointment and more doubts.
"Sir Yan, we can make a bet. If I provide you with a thousand gun barrels as agreed within one year, can your Taiyuan Arsenal branch be built in Guangyuan?" Liu Lang looked relaxed, as if he had a thousand gun barrels.
A gun barrel is like a thousand toothpicks.
Of course Liu Lang has this confidence. Not to mention that with the support of the scientific research team of Huaqing University, he will be able to research the smelting method of gun steel sooner or later. Liu Lang has already made a bet with Comrade Lao Yan about the thousand gun barrels.
I figured out where to get it from.
One year was enough for him to return from the West. In the last World War, the defeated Third Reich handed over 28,500 cannons of various calibers to the Allies, especially France, and only 4,500 cannons were recorded as destroyed. The remaining
More than 20,000 guns, except for a small number that were used by the Gallic Rooster troops, a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns were thrown into the huge pits of the Lorraine open-pit coal mines.
Many people may think that after nearly two decades of wind and rain, perhaps those steel behemoths that were once able to spit out tongues of fire have been corroded beyond their usefulness.
In fact, when the Second World War broke out, when the destitute Gallic Roosters used the abandoned artillery and heavy machine guns from the huge mine, they were surprised to find that 40% of them were still in normal use.
Even when the rigorous soldiers of the Third Reich surrendered their weapons due to defeat, they still sealed the barrels and chambers of the guns with oil, protecting those weapons very well. This is definitely the most serious and almost scary thing in the world.
a nation.
Liu Lang believed that there, he only needed to pay far less than the cost of making a new gun barrel, and someone would be willing to sell him the "junk". The only difficulty was how to transport the "junk" back to the country.
, Ten thousand may be too big a goal, but one or two thousand "junk" may not be so conspicuous.
Comrade Lao Yan stared at Liu Lang for a long time, then a smile broke out on his face and he burst out laughing: "Haha, okay, since you, Captain Liu, have such confidence, I will make this bet with you, old man.
If you can transport the gun barrel to Shanxi, or your Guangyuan, before June next year, no, before August, then I will build the first branch of Taiyuan Machinery Factory in your Guangyuan, so that your independent regiment will need it.
I sell machine guns and ammunition at half price, old man. Even the new machine guns and bullets used by your independent regiment, if your father's machine factory has insufficient production capacity, our Taiyuan Machinery Factory can process them for you."
"That's the patent of Dr. Grunov. Commander Yan can talk to him. Liu Lang can't make the decision." Liu Lang lowered his eyebrows and extinguished some of Comrade Yan's ambitions in his words.
.
"Haha, just kidding, Captain Liu, don't take it too seriously." Comrade Lao Yan did not feel embarrassed at all and continued to laugh.
"Both each other." Liu Lang also smiled.
"Old fox." Liu Lang added in his heart with a smile.
"Little fox." Old Man Yan laughed so hard that his eyes were almost blind, and he also said something viciously in his heart.
It's a pity that the little foreign girl is not here. Otherwise, seeing the old man and the young man chatting here for a long time, they will definitely give these two a unified definition: they are not good people.
In this chaotic era, those who want to be good people are not only unable to help others, but also find it difficult to survive themselves. Only those who are "badr" than the bad people are qualified to survive in troubled times. This is when Liu Lang came to this world
The most useful knowledge I have learned since going to school.
Japanese people are bad embryos who already have sores on their heads and pus on their soles. Then Liu Lang will be so "bad" that even the Japanese will shout: Baga, don't bully honest people!
During the trip to the arsenal with Comrade Lao Yan, Liu Lang gained a lot. He used real war examples that had occurred in time and space to persuade the King of Shanxi to transfer the arsenal. Regardless of whether he would do so immediately, Liu Lang knew that Comrade Lao Yan
His heart has moved. As long as the Japanese threat becomes stronger day by day, he will definitely start to move the arsenal earlier than before in time and space.
Furthermore, Liu Lang has been promised that as soon as his thousand gun barrels arrive, Shanxi Wang's first branch factory will move to Guangyuan. The first branch factory often means core technology and a dazzling array of various types of machinery.
The equipment is urgently needed by Liu Lang. The black military technology of the former Republic that Liu Lang planned requires not only the scientific and technological elites, but also the equipment is a top priority.
Although it’s not your own yet, I think it’s easier to borrow it from time to time than traveling all the way to Taiyuan!
Of course, Liu Lang gained a lot, and as a landlord, the King of Shanxi also gained nothing.
Although he failed to recruit Liu Lang, a strong man, the Shanxi King met a fat man who was much more difficult to deal with than what was reported in the intelligence. This made the Shanxi King revise his analysis of Liu Lang again and also understand why the bald man
Suppress this one.
A guy with such a terrifying mind but an unruly mind would probably give him a headache no matter who his superiors were! Of course, Liu Lang's promise of a thousand gun barrels was a timely help and eliminated Comrade Lao Yan.
Concerns about the development of heavy artillery.
Although Liu Lang only made a verbal promise, and even the time span was as long as one year, Comrade Lao Yan had an intuition that he would be indispensable for those thousand gun barrels. This was the intuition of the first person in Shanxi since he took control of Shanxi in 1911.
, a confidence that has hardly missed anyone in more than 20 years.
Perhaps the foxes finally met and were cremated. The lunch was served at Comrade Lao Yan's official residence. The general of the national army was the host, and Lieutenant General Lao Li Tian was the guest. Liu Lang, the young colonel, received the most courtesy
Long, there is no one left.
Comrade Yan, who was in a good mood during the dinner, also finalized the business of military heavy-duty bicycles, which was Mr. Fan's first entry into Shanxi Province. The order of 5,000 units made Mr. Fan stupidly take the initiative to drink five large glasses of 20-year-old Fenjiu.
.
Shanxi is indeed a big fat sheep! Liu Lang bared his teeth and gasped. That's 350,000 yuan.
