Zhao Changshu continued: "The barracks of your guard force are arranged in an empty barracks on Xiaobeimen Street. It was the original residence of a regiment. It has been empty for almost two months. All facilities inside are still complete.
, I asked Zhang Cheng to bring people to help you clean up. It won't take a few days to move in. When your guard team is formed, I will report to Commander Xu and hand over the guard tasks of the Xiaobei Gate and the arsenal.
You guys. After all, these two places are near your barracks, so management and guarding are very convenient."
At this point, he glanced at Zhou Wen meaningfully and said: "If you were really sent from Nanjing, it would be impossible for these places to be handed over to you. But you are different. You are a native of Shanxi. Your family and property are all here.
Shanxi, we are also recruiting Shanxi soldiers. I said this is a necessary means to win you over, and we also put on a good show to show our sincerity to Nanjing. This way, no one will have too many objections."
Zhou Wen knew what he meant. This was to deal with Marshal Yan, who was still controlling Shanxi's military and political affairs behind the scenes. This move inadvertently gave Commissioner Liu Ruoshui a big credit. Look, this commissioner has just arrived in Shanxi.
As soon as he became overbearing, he subdued the entire Shanxi Provincial Government and handed over the responsibility of guarding Shanxi's largest arsenal and a city gate to the Party Headquarters. This completely reassured the principal, and Shanxi would definitely stop causing trouble.
The arsenal has been surrendered, so why make a fuss about it?
Why did the principal ask Liu Ruoshui to come to Shanxi? Isn't it because he was worried about sending someone to monitor him? Now it's better, I'm relieved. When Liu Ruoshui knows the good news, I'm afraid he will wake up laughing in his sleep.
Zhou Wen was touched. This senior had gone to great lengths to support him, and he had given a grand explanation in official circles, but in fact it had made it easier for him to guard and steal from others - bah! It had made it easier for his plan to be implemented smoothly.
The city gates and arsenal are guarded by guards, and all the weapons and ammunition that have not been registered in the warehouse belong to you. Hahaha, good senior, good Zhao Changshu.
Zhao Changshu was amused when he saw Zhou Wen's overjoyed expression. This junior finally showed his temperament befitting his age.
Thinking of another thing, Zhao Changshu frowned and said, "There is another thing that may be difficult."
Zhou Wen picked up the wine glass and toasted Zhao Changshu before he said, "Is it about turning on the machine to make a gun?"
Zhao Changshu said: "Exactly, it is not difficult for you to transport those weapons and ammunition quietly, but when you turn on the power and turn on the machine, it will make a lot of noise. It is not a big problem if others find out, but the Huang sent by the Northeast Army
The commissioner is not easy to deal with. When he comes to Shanxi, he doesn't care about anything else and just focuses on the arsenal. Shanxi has nominally surrendered to Nanjing, but in terms of military affairs, we have to take orders from Marshal Zhang. The suspension of production in the arsenal is Marshal Zhang's order.
"
"What is Commissioner Huang like as a person?" Zhou Wen asked, but he was thinking that there are still people who can't be impressed by the small yellow croaker? If the small yellow croaker doesn't work, use the big yellow croaker, and if the big yellow croaker doesn't work, use US dollars. But what Zhao Changshu said next
This extinguished Zhou Wen's little thoughts.
It turns out that Commissioner Huang's name is Huang Yisheng. He is an upright and dedicated person. He is one of the few people in the Northeast Army who has an upright and rigorous style. He studied in France and was a senior official in charge of the Shenyang Arsenal in the Northeast. He won the trust of Marshal Zhang, so he
He was sent to Taiyuan to take charge. Even a man of excellent character like Zhao Changshu praised and admired him highly, so naturally he would not be bribed by a few dollars.
"Commissioner Huang and I have a good personal relationship, but he is a public person and a private person. He will not open the door to you just because of a good relationship. That's why I said this matter is difficult. Besides, you know
Because of my personality, I can't talk about this kind of thing."
After hearing this, Zhou Wen felt that he was looking down on others. In this era, there are still many people who are strong-willed and dedicated to serving the country. Those people cannot be bought with a few bad money. Fortunately, the seniors reminded him, otherwise he would come to the door with money.
, I’m afraid I was kicked out without even saying a few words.
However, the experience of two lives tells Zhou Wen that a person must be good. As long as the right occasion, the right time, and the right means are used (hehe, it smells like a conspiracy), the impossible can be made possible.
So what are the good things about Huang Yisheng? After Zhao Changshu's introduction, Zhou Wen had a rough judgment. This person is quite a noble and upright ancient man. However, Zhou Wen knows that everything in this world has two sides, pros and cons. Everything has its pros and cons.
As long as there are advantages, there must be disadvantages. A person who is upright, talented, capable and has good character will inevitably have a little arrogance and nobility.
This kind of person must be very picky when interacting with others. This pickiness may not be shown on the face due to his quality and self-cultivation, but it is deep in the bone marrow and hidden in the heart. So Zhou Wen must be very picky when interacting with him for the first time.
Pay attention to the environment and candidates. Huang Yisheng studied abroad, which firstly shows that he does not reject foreigners, especially talented foreigners, and even has a good impression of them. Secondly, he has managed arsenals for many years, so he is very familiar with weapons knowledge and the manufacturing industry.
.
Zhou Wen immediately made a plan in his mind. If one plan didn't work, he would think of other plans. In short, he wanted to take down Huang Yisheng. Otherwise, the plan to equip semi-automatic rifles would have to be postponed. Next year will be the September 18th Incident, and the year after that will be
At the beginning of the year, the 128 Songhu Anti-Japanese War will begin. Zhou Wen is very clear about this history. Zhou Wen originally planned to lead a mercenary group to fight the Japanese, so how could he let the equipment hold him back?
You must know that developing a new gun is not as simple and easy as described in later novels. It must go through a lot of manufacturing and processing processes, not to mention that what Zhou Wen wants is a high-precision semi-automatic rifle. Without suitable processing machinery and equipment and skilled workers, it would be impossible to
It may be possible to make a gun by hand-making alone. Want to make a semi-automatic rifle? Haha, you are thinking too much.
Therefore, if Zhou Wen wants to find a way to start up the machines in the gun-making workshop, he also needs the cooperation of a group of skilled workers, who will continuously make sample guns for experimentation and improvement, and then test the guns in various environments to prove its feasibility and reliability.
Finally, it can be finalized and produced. This takes a lot of time and money.
Moreover, Zhou Wen’s purpose is not to use the machines in the Taiyuan Arsenal to produce rifles for the mercenary group. These machines in the Taiyuan Arsenal are old and outdated, and it is impossible to produce rifles with high precision. Instead, after successful experiments, the drawings
It is sold to Germany and finally made by a German factory. Zhou Wen still believes in the saying: products produced in Germany must be high-quality products.
However, the initial prototype gun can only be made using the existing machinery and equipment in the arsenal. At least the feasibility of Zhou Wen's design and various raw data must be verified. Then turning on the power and turning on the machine is a top priority, and there is no room for any delay.
