Facing Liu Xiang, whose face was obviously much more serious, Liu Lang, after performing the military salute, didn't say much nonsense, just picked up the pen and paper on the desk, lowered his head and started writing with a "swish".
Liu Xiang knew that his nephew usually had ideas, so he didn't say anything at the moment. He just sat steadily on the imperial chair with a cold face. If this nephew, who was usually quite worry-free, didn't give him a satisfactory explanation today, I'm afraid that Sichuan's He wants to take back the identity of the Fourteenth Inspector General, but he also wants to start adding sand to the Northern Sichuan Security Corps without any scruples.
Although this also has the possibility of deteriorating the relationship between the two, but in the face of the powerful, these are nothing. He Liu Lang can win over the newly formed 61st Brigade and Fan Haer's Fourth Division, he, the Lord of Sichuan Why can't we suppress this nephew who has prospered by relying on his big tree?
He wants to show the whole of Sichuan that people who follow him, Liu Xiang, can live a good life, but if they make some small moves in private or even have thoughts about Sichuan, he, Liu Xiang, is definitely not that easy to talk to. Even for someone as close as a nephew like Liu Lang.
From the time Liu Lang entered the new 61st Brigade Headquarters and stayed there all night, the Sichuan Provincial Chairman had already made up his mind to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.
However, when Liu Lang gently placed the list filled with paper in front of him and he gently stepped aside, a look of disbelief appeared on the face of Liu Xiang, the provincial chairman.
What was written on Liu Lang's list was not gold or silver, but a list of weapons.
The first item alone made Chairman Liu's pupils suddenly dilate.
There are a total of 200,000 rifles, and they are not made in Hanyang, but are imitation Springfield rifles produced by the Huamei Arsenal imported from the Springfield Arsenal production line in the United States. At the same time, the bullet caliber used has abandoned the 7.62mm caliber of the original Springfield rifle, and still retains the 7.92mm rifle made in Hanyang. mm diameter.
Liu Xiang knew that this was to ensure good logistical supply. Now, whether in Sichuan or across the country, almost all rifle bullets produced by arsenals are mainly 7.92 mm caliber round-head bullets.
Of course, Liu Xiang is no stranger to the Springfield rifle. This M1903 rifle, which was finalized in 1903 and widely equipped with the US military, became famous when the American Expeditionary Force participated in World War I. It is called the best bolt-action rifle in the Chinese army. It is also equipped and is a high-end product. Among the Sichuan army, there are only a few pitiful hundreds of poles, and they are treated like treasures.
This gun is also designed and manufactured based on the Mauser rifle. The bolt and magazine are imitations of the Mauser rifle. However, the gun is improved on the Mauser rifle into a bolt-action rifle with a rear-pull rotating locking bolt. The charging handle bends downward, the bolt moves smoothly, ejects the shell, and feeds ammunition.
This type of rifle has a total gun length of 1098 mm, a barrel length of 610 mm, and a gun weight of 3.94 kg. The mechanical sights are a blade front sight and a folding frame rear sight with a U-shaped notch.
The built-in magazine has a capacity of 5 rounds and can be fed using 5-round separate magazines. The gun also has a unique single-shot ammunition feeding device, which can fire a shot and add a round of ammunition later.
The battle with the Third Reich in World War I has proven that the gun's performance is reliable and excellent, and the biggest feature of the gun is that its longer barrel and the use of 0.30-06 ammunition ensure that the gun can reach a high of 823 to 850 The muzzle velocity of meters per second gives the gun an effective range of more than 500 meters.
With reliable performance, long range, high accuracy, and high power, the Springfield rifle is definitely one of the best rifles currently available. But before its birth, China had introduced the production line of the Third Reich's 1888-style committee rifle and obtained a production license.
Almost all rifle bullets, which are heavily imitated across the country, are of 7.92mm caliber. Changing to 7.62mm caliber does not happen overnight.
Therefore, even if a large amount of money is spent to introduce Springfield rifles, it will be a huge disaster for logistics. As for changing the caliber, it is even more difficult. To do this without obtaining the original factory drawings, production lines and production licenses, it is better to start all over again.
It is more cost-effective to design a rifle. The official rifle that the government has started to produce at the Gongxian Arsenal in Henan Province is the product of this idea. It is a standard type that was obtained in exchange for countless precious minerals provided to the Third Reich.
Mauser rifle production line.
Unexpectedly, Huamei Company has been authorized by Springfield Company to produce this advanced rifle. What Liu Xiang did not expect was that once Liu Lang made a move, it would be 200,000 rifles. That is an exaggerated figure that can almost completely change the entire Sichuan Army.
.
If the Sichuan Army, which has discarded all the old-fashioned rifles made in Hanyang and some imitations of the Sichuan Arsenal, can get these rifles, its combat effectiveness will definitely be doubled.
In addition to rifles, Liu Lang's list also includes 600 imitation Maxim heavy machine guns, 2,700 Czech light machine guns, 200 Type 82 mortars, 500,000 imitation Third Reich long-handled grenades, and 200,000 military uniforms.
sets, 200,000 helmets and other ordnance supplies.
The series of numbers made the Sichuan Provincial Chairman stunned and thirsty.
These equipments can equip almost 100 infantry battalions, which is the number of more than 30 German weapons regiments, according to the establishment of the bald man's German weapons division. The auxiliary military supplies such as military uniforms and steel helmets and spurs can even equip three soldiers.
More than half of the 100,000 Sichuan troops were armed.
It can be said that as long as this batch of equipment is in place, the equipment has never been better. Chairman Liu himself was a little impressed. The Sichuan Army will immediately be able to add more than ten "German Weapons Masters". In addition to no guns, only light weapons
, Chairman Liu’s strength can almost jump to the top three in the country.
Isn’t that old Shanxi man in Shanxi able to become a first-level general because of the Taiyuan Arsenal, which manufactured equipment capable of supplying an army of 300,000 people and hundreds of mountain cannons? The majestic Lord of Sichuan became a second-level general.
The fact that General has always been a hidden pain in Chairman Liu's heart.
Once he really has these things on the list, General Liu will definitely be bolder at the national military conference. What happened to the second-level general? The second-level general also has ten well-equipped divisions in his hands. Who dares not to
Take him seriously?
But, is this possible? Liu Xiang's eyes moved away from the weapon list with difficulty and looked at his nephew standing aside: "What do you mean by these equipments?"
"These weapons represent 80% of the total amount of light weapons that the Taiyuan Arsenal purchased by Huamei Company can produce within one year after it is put into operation," Liu Lang said.
"Oh? It can produce equipment for ten reorganized divisions a year. The strength of Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal is really strong! No wonder he dared to say that with his 300,000 Jinsui Army in Shanxi, the Japanese could not even enter Shanxi.
?You really have the confidence!" Liu Xiang sighed with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, not without envy.
"Uncle Yao, there is no need to envy others. The Sichuan Army can also equip the Sichuan Army with these equipments." Liu Lang smiled faintly.
The corners of Liu Xiang's eyes twitched hard.
He wanted to equip it. However, not to mention the Springfield rifle with better performance, the unit price of the Mauser rifle of the Third Reich was as high as 40 US dollars. According to the exchange ratio of 2.85 to 1 in 1935, it was 114 oceans. No.
Speaking of 200,000 rifles, one hundred thousand rifles cost more than one million oceans; even if a Czech-made ZB-26 light machine gun is a domestic imitation, its price is as high as 800 oceans to 1,000 oceans. 2,700, why?
It is said to cost more than 2 million oceans; the price of each Mak Qinmin 24 heavy machine gun is between 1,100 and 1,200 oceans, which is almost 1 million oceans.
This alone is 4 million yuan. Not to mention that Liu Xiang himself cannot come up with this huge sum of money. Even the Sichuan Provincial Government cannot come up with it. Even if it grits its teeth and takes it out, Sichuan will not be able to survive in the future.
Is it a day? Why don’t you all eat sweet potatoes together?
I'm afraid, those soldiers with new guns will first have to oust Liu Xiang from the throne of provincial chairman! Liu Xiang knows the moral character of his "two-gun generals" best.
, but it can’t be done without paying military salaries.
"Liu Lang will bear the entire cost of these equipment." Liu Lang suddenly said in a shocking tone.
Liu Xiang's eyes suddenly froze.
