The chief of staff nodded and affirmed: "What I value most is the development potential of Wutai, an arsenal!"
"Boss, in just a short time Wang Ping built an arsenal from scratch and was able to reload bullets on a large scale. I remember that we also had an arsenal when we were in the Soviet area. It took several years to reload bullets.
The output of bullets is not even comparable to the current bullet reloading production line in Wang Ping!"
"I can't imagine how Wang Ping did it!"
"I can't even imagine how big the arsenal will be in half a year as long as Wang Ping is given enough time and conditions!"
The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "You are right, this arsenal will definitely become the largest arsenal of our Eighth Route Army!"
"Tell Lao Nie, if Wang Ping has any requirements when developing the arsenal, just satisfy him. If he can't satisfy him, our headquarters will find a way to solve it!"
"Also, doesn't the Military Industry Department of the headquarters still have a lot of talents? Send someone to send it to Lao Nie immediately! This arsenal is not only the hope of his Lao Nie, but also the hope of our Eighth Route Army!"
When the Eighth Route Army headquarters was discussing the arsenal, the Yan'an High Command was also attracted by the newly established arsenal.
All along, whether it is the former Red Army or the current Eighth Route Army, equipment and ammunition have been replenished through seizures!
But everyone in the headquarters knows that an army, especially after it reaches a certain size, cannot rely entirely on capture. Otherwise, sooner or later, the army will run into problems due to interruptions in ammunition supply.
Now the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has actually built an arsenal surrounded by heavy Japanese and puppet troops, and it can reload bullets as soon as possible, and it has such a large output.
When he first saw the telegram, the deputy commander's first reaction was that he didn't believe it.
After seeing that the telegram was personally sent by Commander Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei-Nie, he finally believed it, and then his face was covered with a thick smile!
"Inform the commander-in-chief to go to the commander-in-chief's office immediately, the sooner the better!" the deputy commander ordered to the guards behind him as he jogged towards the commander-in-chief's office.
"Commander, did something happen on the front line? Why are you so anxious!" The deputy commander just walked into the commander-in-chief's office, and before he could speak, the commander-in-chief's voice sounded at the door, very anxious.
The deputy commander quickly replied: "It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing! This is a telegram sent by Lao Nie. Our Eighth Route Army has its own arsenal. Although it cannot produce its own weapons and ammunition, the reloaded bullets can now satisfy half of the demand.
The troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region are needed for combat!"
After speaking, the deputy commander handed the telegram to the commander who also looked puzzled.
After reading the telegram, the commander-in-chief looked shocked, then surprised, and finally handed the telegram over under the expectant and anxious gaze of the commander-in-chief!
The commander-in-chief quickly read the telegram at a glance, with the same expression on his face as the commander-in-chief, first shocked, then surprised.
"More than half of the military region's troops! Our Eighth Route Army is not as lavish as the Japanese in combat. Unless there is a large-scale raid by the Japanese, four or five million rounds of ammunition will be enough for the entire military region for a month!"
"And Lao Nie also said that the production of reloaded bullets will be increased to 800,000 in one month and 3 million in half a year. By then, the entire Eighth Route Army will have enough!"
"Lao Nie made the right decision to set up an arsenal!" the commander-in-chief said very happily.
"By the way, what level is Wang Ping of the arsenal now? He built it from scratch in less than a month. He must be rewarded heavily!"
"Old Nie originally applied for the regimental level!" the deputy commander replied after thinking about it.
"Then we will promote him to brigade level!" the commander made a firm decision.
The deputy commander-in-chief, who deals with the bureaucrats of the Nationalist Government every day for weapons and ammunition, his greatest wish is to stop looking at the faces of these people and to replace all their ridicule of the Eighth Route Army.
And Wang Ping is fulfilling his wish step by step. Therefore, the deputy commander was the first to stand up and support: "I agree, the arsenal is really important to our Eighth Route Army. As long as the arsenal can develop according to Lao Nie's ideas,
Produce weapons and ammunition by yourself. We, the Eighth Route Army, can avoid being controlled by others!"
Surprisingly, the Commander-in-Chief, who was Wang Ping's supreme leader, actually showed a wry smile.
"Commander, I also agree to turn the arsenal into a brigade-level unit and improve the status of the arsenal. However, if you do this, Wang Ping will no longer be a brigade commander!"
"Is there something wrong with this Wang Ping?" the commander-in-chief frowned and asked sharply.
"There is no issue of principle. It's just that he made a big mistake not long ago and many people are staring at him!" the commander-in-chief replied!
"Commander, you should still remember that some time ago, the Japanese North China Front said that we used poison gas bombs and threatened to use poison gas bombs without restrictions in China, right?"
The commander frowned and replied: "I remember, Chiang Kai-shek sent me several telegrams at that time. He asked me to hand over the regiment commander to him and use the regiment commander's head to extinguish the anger of the Japanese. At that time, I directly gave it to him.
Well, even if one of our people makes a mistake, it will be dealt with by ourselves, and it is not his turn for an outsider to intervene!"
"Besides, why can only the Japs use poison gas bombs? This is in China. If the battlefield is in Japan and we have poison gas bombs in our hands, I would also like to let the little Japs have a taste of poison gas bombs!"
At this point, the commander suddenly reacted, then stared at the commander-in-chief and asked: "Isn't that regiment leader the current arsenal director Wang Ping?"
"I remember that the Eighth Route Army headquarters demoted him, so why did he return to the regiment-level post!"
"It's Lao Nie!" the commander-in-chief explained.
"Old Nie fell in love with him and sent several telegrams to the headquarters asking to keep him. Our deputy commander had no choice but to agree!"
"I didn't expect that this Wang Ping is not only great at leading troops to fight, but he is also so great at engaging in military industry and building arsenals!"
The commander-in-chief was well aware of the huge impact of Wang Ping's unauthorized use of poison gas bombs.
After frowning and thinking for a full minute, he still couldn't think of a solution, so he could only reply with a helpless look: "Wang Ping is indeed a talent, and he is also an old Red Army and revolutionary! I saw the battle report that Old Nie gave to Yan'an.
I listed Wang Ping as the first contributor. At that time, I also studied this Wang Ping specifically. He was a good man in leading troops, fighting, doing logistics, and even doing economics. It was just that I was in a hurry to solve the poison gas issue and forgot his name.
Got it!"
The deputy commander then said: "This also proves the saying that gold shines everywhere!"
Then the topic changed and he continued: "However, even if Wang Ping has made mistakes, his contribution cannot be denied!"
"If this Wang Ping is the leader of the independent regiment, we should reward him even more!"
"Commander, you don't know that the method of raising chickens reported by Old Nie was proposed by Wang Ping. After experiments, it is completely feasible. Now we are vigorously promoting it in Yan'an. We have built many chicken farms ourselves!"
"As soon as the chickens in these chicken farms start laying eggs, there will be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of eggs every day. In addition to eating them ourselves, we can also sell them to the Central Army through merchants in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, making money from Chiang Kai-shek and increasing our funding.
!”
"I roughly calculated that if the chicken farm continues to expand at this rate, by the end of the year, we will be able to earn at least a thousand yuan in income from the chicken farm every day, which will be more than 300,000 yuan a year, which is more than what Chiang Kai-shek gave us.
Our military spending is even more!)”
"What's more important is that this is just the income from Yan'an. If you include all the bases controlled by our Eighth Route Army, the income will be even more!"
"We will reward him heavily just for his method of raising chickens!" The deputy commander, who has always been gentle and gentle, rarely speaks so firmly!
The commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief showed a troubled expression on their faces!
