Chapter 1718 Mercenaries (hire a few monthly passes)
Xu Rui had expected that the attitude of the Soviet experts would soften. To put it bluntly, if they were really fired by the Chinese and then returned to the Soviet Union in such disgrace, these two so-called experts would definitely not get any good results, because they
They may sound like experts, but in fact they are just two technicians.
Xu Rui didn't believe it. Zhukov had never talked to them before they came to China.
Zhukov must have approached them, and the cooperation with the Chahar Independent Group must be successful.
The reason why Xu Rui is so sure is that throughout the entire cooperation, it was actually the Soviets who asked for help from the Chinese.
To put it bluntly, even if they do not cooperate with the Soviets, even if they do not establish an industrial zone in Baotou, the Chahar Independent Regiment will still resist the Japanese, but it will be more difficult. However, if the Soviets do not cooperate with the Chinese, the Far East Front Army will face serious difficulties
Difficulties, and even the annihilation of the entire army is not impossible.
Therefore, the success of this cooperation is related to the safety of the entire Far East Front!
Xu Rui didn't believe that these two so-called experts really dared to take such a big risk!
The final facts proved that Xu Rui's judgment was completely correct. When Xu Rui showed enough toughness, the two Soviet experts immediately softened.
As soon as Xu Rui let go, the guy named Daliumi immediately stepped back a few steps, staying far away from Xu Rui, but he didn't dare to say any nonsense.
Wang Husheng wanted to step forward and apologize, but Xu Rui stopped him.
They were not wrong at all, so why should they apologize?
In the end, another Soviet expert apologized and said: "Dear Chinese comrades, it was Daliumi who did something wrong just now. He should not be impulsive. I will educate him when he gets back. Now, I want to ask Chinese comrades, why are you so late?
Come here with us two, do you have any questions to ask?"
After listening to the student's translation, Wang Husheng couldn't help but feel proud and proud.
Xu Rui said: "That's it, I don't care what method you use, the thermal power plant must not be built on the surface, but must be built underground, and it must be well disguised."
The Soviet expert said: "This is probably very difficult to do."
"It's difficult to do, but it doesn't mean it's impossible to do." Xu Rui emphasized again, "I just said, no matter what method is used, there is no need to worry about increasing costs. My only request is that thermal power plants must be built.
Below the surface, it must be ensured that Japanese bombers cannot locate their targets."
The Soviet expert said: "Okay, let's try our best to find a way."
Xu Rui said solemnly: "I will correct you one last time, not as much as I can, but must, must!"
"Good must." The Soviet expert straightened his chest instinctively and said seriously, "We promise the Chinese comrades that we will build the thermal power plant underground and ensure that the Japanese bombers cannot find their targets."
"Very good." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "You can go back and rest."
The two Soviet experts turned around and walked away. Daliumi ran especially fast, as if there was a devil chasing him behind him, but in his eyes, Xu Rui was almost the same as the devil.
Watching the two Soviet experts go away, Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, how about we treat the Soviet experts roughly like this?"
"What does rough treatment mean?" Xu Rui snorted. "We eat black-faced steamed buns by ourselves, but we eat white-faced steamed buns with them. We sleep in a nest on the ground, but sleep with them in a big house. This treatment is already very careful.
When we arrive, can they still find fault with us? Otherwise, how about you really find some kiln sisters for them?"
"Fuck you." Wang Husheng laughed and cursed, "Can I do that?"
"This is over." Xu Rui said, "We should have basic respect for the Soviet experts, but we should not be too spoiled by them, especially when it comes to work. We must boldly put forward our demands, and we must not let them do it.
, otherwise they must have done it to save trouble, but in the end it was us who suffered the big loss."
"That's true." Wang Husheng nodded, "I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
After inspecting the construction site of the thermal power plant, the two then inspected the construction sites of the bullet factory, the refinery, the clothing factory, and the meat product canning factory. The Soviet experts responsible for the preparations for the construction of these factories did not make any mistakes. Among them, they were responsible for the preparations for the construction of the bullet factory.
Two Soviet experts from the factory even took out sample bullets for the guards and soldiers to practice target.
When Xu Rui and Wang Husheng came over, a dozen officers and soldiers in charge of the security were gathering around the two Soviet experts to watch one of them demonstrate an anti-aircraft machine gun. However, this so-called Soviet expert was obviously not doing his job properly.
Instead of shooting into the sky, the anti-aircraft machine gun was pressed down for level shooting.
The caliber of the anti-aircraft machine gun is half an inch, and its destructive power is amazing.
Anyone who has watched the video knows that a half-inch caliber heavy machine gun bullet can tear a human body into pieces! So once a large-caliber heavy machine gun hits the torso, even gods will not be able to save it! These two Soviets
The experts obviously also wanted to show off the destructive power of anti-aircraft machine guns in front of the guards.
When ready, a Soviet expert held the handle and pressed the launch button.
"Da da da!" A string of fire immediately ejected from the muzzle of the anti-aircraft machine gun, illuminating the entire night sky in an instant. Then a human-shaped wooden board erected fifty meters in front immediately shattered into pieces, with a length of three inches.
The thick wooden board was shattered and instantly disintegrated into pieces of wood that scattered all over the sky.
Seeing this scene, the guards and soldiers immediately exclaimed.
Nimei, if this hits someone, what’s the point?
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Wang Husheng happened to come over and saw someone shooting at the target. He immediately became angry. He was so tight on ammunition that he secretly took out bullets for target shooting. This was already a serious mistake and must be severely punished. Now
He angrily separated from the crowd and walked in.
On the contrary, Xu Rui seemed unhurried and unhurried.
Seeing Xu Rui and Wang Husheng walking in, the dozen or so guards present quickly stood up to attention: "Regiment leader, political commissar!"
What’s funny is that the two Soviet experts also stood at attention and saluted, and muttered something in Russian. However, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng didn’t understand, but they must have met the superior or something like that.
Sure enough, the accompanying students translated: "Two experts are saying that they have met Chinese officials."
Wang Husheng frowned and snorted: "What happened just now? Who allowed you to practice target here? Also, where did your bullets come from?"
More than a dozen guards and soldiers looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing the guards and soldiers being trained, the two Soviet experts immediately became anxious and quickly asked the students to translate.
When the student translator translated Wang Husheng's words, the two Soviet experts quickly shook their heads. One of them even gestured to Wang Husheng in Russian and said: "Sir, don't blame them. We brought the bullets from the Soviet Union. There are a lot of them. We just
I want to demonstrate to them the lethality of level fire from an anti-aircraft machine gun."
For fear that Wang Husheng would not believe it, after finishing speaking, two Soviet experts took out a wooden box from a temporary warehouse underneath. When they opened it, they found more than half a box of yellow bullets, and they were half-inch caliber bullets.
The length is more than ten centimeters, and it has a strong visual impact.
After listening to the translation, Wang Husheng was stunned. Since it was the Soviets who did it, he couldn't say much more.
Xu Rui said: "Even the bullet samples you brought from the Soviet Union cannot be wasted."
After a pause, Xu Rui asked again: "How many heavy machine gun bullets did you bring from the Soviet Union this time?"
"There are many." The Soviet expert who just spoke quickly replied, "There are more than a dozen boxes of bullets, so there is no problem in shooting the target a few times. The sample is still sufficient."
Xu Rui's eyes fell on the anti-aircraft machine gun that had been laid flat, and he asked again: "Where is the anti-aircraft machine gun?"
"Machine guns?" the Soviet expert replied, "There are only two machine guns. But the Chinese chief can rest assured that our bullet technology is very mature. As long as the production line is built, the bullets produced are guaranteed to have no quality problems. Therefore, there are
Two machine guns are more than enough for test firing."
Xu Rui rubbed his chin and suddenly said: "Since your bullet production technology is very mature, I think it is enough to leave one anti-aircraft machine gun for test firing. Give us the other one, as well as these bullets."
, the sample doesn’t need so many bullets at all, just keep half a box and give us the rest.”
"You want to take away our sample bullets and the anti-aircraft machine guns used for test bombs?" the Soviet expert said.
"How can we take this and give it away?" Xu Rui said with a smile, "You gave it to us, right?"
"A gift?" the Soviet expert muttered a few words, then suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "I can give it to you, but I have a condition. I want to join your regiment as a soldier! And I have to operate this anti-aircraft machine gun."
"What, you come to our group and you can operate this anti-aircraft machine gun?" Xu Rui couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
Wang Husheng was also stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but Xu Rui stopped him.
Obviously, the Soviet expert in front of me is not only a gun controller, but also a murder controller. Moreover, he is quite old, let alone over forty. At this age, it is impossible to join the army in the Soviet Union and realize this dream.
Therefore, he would settle for the next best thing and propose to join the independent regiment as a soldier.
For the independent group, this is a very good thing.
Although the Soviet expert in front of him is slightly older, he is strong and strong, similar to the soldiers and Siberian tigers. Xu Rui is very suspicious. The Dshk anti-aircraft machine gun weighing more than 100 kilograms in front of him, this guy
It is very possible that one person can carry the marching force. The more machine gunners of this kind, the better.
However, there is one issue that must be clarified.
At that moment, Xu Rui said: "If you are willing to join our independent regiment as a soldier, of course we welcome you with both hands, but one thing I must explain first is that our independent regiment will not pay you a salary."
The Soviet expert asked in disappointment: "How come mercenaries don't get paid?"
"You are not a mercenary, you are a volunteer." After Xu Rui finished speaking, his mind suddenly lit up, yes, how could he forget about being a mercenary? You can hire pilots!
