In the two years since Chen Tianhua acquired the Hanyang Arsenal, the Military Regulation Office has solved many espionage cases, most of which were related to Japanese people.

The security here has become even tighter.

Today's Hanyang Arsenal is very different from usual. The head of Fengzhong Group, the commander of Zhejiang New Army Town, a special figure who combines officials, military and businessmen, will come to inspect the place. Early on, strict security began inside and outside the arsenal.

, the streets were filled with numerous security guards with live ammunition. Among the crowd, the shadow of the Military Police Office, spies had already been cast, vigilantly searching for suspicious persons.

The new director of Hanyang Arsenal, also known as the General Office of the Factory, is Mr. Huo Shan.

Huo Shan was first hired from Shanghai to Hanyang by Chen Tianhua through Liu Yulao's relationship and introduction because of the smelting process of tungsten alloy steel. He served as the chief engineer of the special steel plant, and later as the factory director and chief engineer.

After the Hanyang Arsenal and Steel Plant were acquired by Fengzhong, the Special Steel Plant was merged into the Hanyang Arsenal. Huo Shan served as the chief engineer of the arsenal. Recently, he was appointed as the general office of the factory, which is also the general manager.

In addition, Huo Shan not only studied metallurgy in the British Isles, but more importantly, he worked as an artillery and firearms engineer at the South China Manufacturing Bureau for three years. He has unique insights into weapons manufacturing.

Huo Shan was a member of the Tongmenghui and had joined the Liberation Association earlier. He was a close friend of Liu Yufang and Tao Chengzhang, a senior revolutionary before he came to Hanyang to take office.

Chen Tianhua had long understood Huo Shan's identity, but he continued to trust and reuse the latter. First, he cherished his talents, and second, he was not disgusted with the ideas of the revolutionaries, and in general he fully agreed.

It’s just that he is opposed to blind action, especially the fantasy of relying on Eastern forces to stage riots and selling out the interests of the country and the nation in exchange for support in money and weapons. This is seeking the skin of a tiger.

Of course, every move of Huo Shan and his assistant Ye Han is under the strict surveillance of the Military Coordination Office.

Huo Shan is in full swing today. The smoky and disheveled technician back then can now be regarded as a well-educated official.

Wearing a brand-new dark blue fifth-grade military attaché robe and a flower feather on his head, he was seen repeatedly instructing his subordinates in the general office to check for any possible omissions.

Now he no longer needs to make the equipment himself. His assistant Ye Han serves as the chief engineer of the special steel factory. He is in charge of the development and planned production of new products in the arsenal.

Supervise each branch factory and workshop under your control to produce the required equipment and materials on time, supervise the research and development of new products, coordinate the deployment of manpower, and make everything run in an orderly manner to successfully complete the task.

It has been very painful for Huo Shan to complete such a role change for a period of time. Compared with the initial sloppiness and mistakes everywhere, he is now very comfortable in production and management.

He often thinks of what Chen Tianhua said to him at the beginning, that being a qualified military industry leader is much more difficult than being an excellent technician, and his contribution to the country and nation is much greater than that of a technician.

It was because of Chen Tianhua's words that Huo Shan studied and understood day and night, and finally successfully transformed from an excellent engineer into an excellent business leader.

Sometimes he was very surprised that a countryman who was much younger than him and had never studied abroad had thoughts and foresight that were more advanced than those who had returned from studying abroad, and was very practical.

Now, he has many talents who have returned from studying abroad, as well as some engineers hired from Germany or the United Kingdom, as well as craftsmen poached from Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau.

In terms of overall strength, it is many times stronger than when he first arrived in Hanyang three years ago. Now all the guns, bullets and other raw materials needed can be made locally, and there is no need to import them.

This also made him very happy. If he had not successfully transformed, Huo Shan today would never be the number one person in Hanyang Arsenal.

Although he is now the general manager of Hanyang Arsenal, he has not forgotten his identity as a weapons engineer, and it is still his dream to build exquisite instruments.

In the arsenal research institute, he has a small laboratory, where in his spare time he will study some of the most advanced and cutting-edge weapons and equipment in the world.

However, no matter how the Hanyang Arsenal develops, the current technological level is far from keeping up with the rapid pace of Western science.

Huo Shan knew in his heart that Hanyang Arsenal was still in the stage of dissecting and imitating Western products. He just hoped that his craftsmanship could be close to the original products and that he could complete large-scale streamlined production, thus reducing the production of finished products.

But even if it is imitation, not all products can be completed by the Hanyang Factory. For example, Chen Tianhua explained the shipborne artillery system a year ago, and at this time the software part of the weapon.

This involves shock absorption, fluctuations, and aiming calculations during movement. This is a profound fuzzy mathematics and fuzzy computing theory. These are highly confidential things of the Western powers. It is not machine hardware and can be dissected and analyzed.

Huo Shan recruited some digital experts who had studied abroad to focus on this fuzzy computing model.

Now, Hanyang Arsenal has solved the German gun series, such as the Mauser rifle series M1871, M1882, and M1888.

Krupp M1900-75mm 28-caliber field gun and shells; Krupp M1903-75mm 30-caliber field gun and shells.

Murata Type 30 60mm mortar, grenade launcher, etc.

These are relatively mature products copied by Hanyang Factory.

The British Armstrong ship-borne rapid-fire gun, Krupp C-105 howitzer, and ship-borne main gun are all still under study.

Chen Tianhua has a special liking for German weapons. Huo Shan studies some of the things he once mentioned. He sometimes recruits some superb engineers to study together. Only at this time will he suddenly think of those difficult years.

As a fifth-grade military attache, Huo Shan now has a house and land in Hanyang, and is happy with his wife, children, and children. However, he has never forgotten his responsibilities as a revolutionary and has been carrying out the party's instructions.

While he was sighing, a subordinate rushed over, "Master General Office, the general's car is almost outside the east gate of Hanyang Arsenal!"

"General? Who is the general?" Huo Shan was stunned for a while and had not yet reacted.

"Oh sir, the Ministry of War just issued an order a few days ago. Master Chen Tianhua is the commander of the second town of the Zhejiang New Army, with the rank of general." The deacon beside him promptly informed him.

"Oh...look at my mind, it's so messed up that I can't remember anything." Huo Shan slapped his head in annoyance, stood up and said loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Come on, follow me to meet the general!"

"Everything is ready for the welcome banquet. All I have to do is drive there in person," the deacon said.

"Then hurry up!" Huo Shan walked out.
Chapter completed!
