"My opponent, this is the purpose of the head of the General Logistics Department!"

Looking at Lin Bo in a daze, Song Jixue poured himself a glass of water, took two sips to moisten his throat, and then slowly said: "Think about it, a fully automatic rifle is on par with the world's advanced level.

The significance of synchronized weapons and equipment is even higher than that of manufacturing "building block" machine tools, not to mention what the equipment of the army is now? 38 big cover, officially made in Hanyang, local troops even have Ying 77, old sleeve

.

After careful calculation, there are no less than seven or eight types, and the calibers of ammunition are even more diverse. Such many types are tantamount to a huge burden for our logistics. Therefore, developing a standard rifle is imperative for our army.

Okay, do you think the head of the General Logistics Department can't think of this?"

"This point was already pointed out by the head of the General Logistics Department at the logistics work meeting half a year ago, but the problem is..." Lin Bo knew what Song Jixue said, but he still didn't quite understand: "In

During the last inspection, the head of the General Logistics Department also saw the improved M1 carbine developed by Xiaobai and his team. If he had this intention, he should strike while the iron is hot and formally include it in the development plan, but..."

"But the head of the General Logistics Department didn't say anything. He only left one inexplicable sentence, and then gave us even more incomprehensible instructions to increase production!" Before Lin Bo could finish his words, Song Jixue took over the conversation.

: "But have you ever thought carefully about how well-intentioned the head of the General Logistics Department is..."

Song Jixue drank half a glass of cold boiled water, and then slowly told Lin Bo about his guesses these days...

At the same time, in the four-story building in the north of Shencheng center, the head of the General Logistics Department looked at the report from Baiyun Factory that he had just received. His originally gloomy face gradually spread like ice and snow melting, and finally solidified into a smile of relief.

Laughing: "The 'building block' machine tool, this Bai Yi, is really like me, with endless clever ideas."

After saying that, the head of the General Logistics Department put down the document in his hand and immediately picked up the phone next to him: "Call me to the Planning Department of the Ordnance Department... Are they comrades Jiang Zhenhai? How is the firearms demonstration plan you are responsible for? Well, okay.

...Then you come over and report in person!"

After putting down the phone, the head of the General Logistics Department raised his arm and looked at the time on his watch. He immediately took out the letter from the 102 chief two days ago from the drawer. After reopening it, he read it carefully again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

An intriguing smile: "This old man still underestimates the ability of that little devil!"

While talking to himself, the head of the General Logistics Department had already taken out the letter paper. Just as he was about to pick up a pen to write a reply, there was a knock on the office door. So the head of the General Logistics Department put away the pen and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

Jiang Zhenhai walked in with a thick stack of drawings and materials under his arm, and then respectfully saluted the head of the General Logistics Department, and immediately reported: "Chief, we have organized relevant experts to conduct a feasibility study.

, believe that the two firearms are suitable for the current combat needs of our army!"

"Tell me about it."

"Yes, the first one is a bolt-action rifle improved based on the Japanese 38 cap, and the other is a direct imitation of the American M1 carbine. Let me talk about the improved version of the 38 cap first. It is characterized by long range and accuracy.

High, and we have a lot of experience in manufacturing, and the same goes for ammunition..."

Jiang Zhenhai spread the information he had brought over on the table in front of him, pointing to the firearms sketch above, while explaining the pros and cons. Since the last time he came back from Baiyun Factory, the head of the General Logistics Department asked the Planning Department of the Ordnance Department to start

Start studying the feasibility of standard firearms based on the current industrial capabilities of Northeast China.

For this reason, Jiang Zhenhai has been traveling all over the white mountains and black waters these days, and has fully investigated various military production departments and research departments. It would be better not to do any research. This survey can be said to be a surprise to Jiang Zhenhai. He originally thought that Northeast China was due to its history.

The reason is that it has an industrial base that far exceeds that of other parts of the country.

But Jiang Zhenhai discovered during this investigation that it is true that Northeast China has an industrial foundation. However, after years of war, these foundations have long been destroyed by the war and are in dilapidated condition. Take a steel plant in the southwest of Northeast China as an example. When it was built, it was known as the largest in China.

The steel plant's technical strength ranks among the top ten in Asia, and its annual output accounts for more than two-thirds of the country's steel output.

However, such an important raw material production base for military products was completely destroyed by two years of war. When Jiang Zhenhai was doing research in this factory, only one of the six blast furnaces was barely operational, and more than three-fifths of the entire factory was still in ruins.

Experts who accompanied the factory at the time concluded that it would take at least three years to clean up the ruins in the factory, not to mention resumption of production.

Such factories can be said to be everywhere in the Northeast. As for those relatively intact military factories, the situation is not optimistic. The machinery and equipment are aging and the production capacity is seriously lagging. It is barely enough to meet the current war in the pass. I want to free up capable forces to carry out the war.

The development of new guns is simply impossible.

Moreover, even if the national liberation project comes to an end, the production tasks of these factories will not be so tight, and it will not be easy to produce new guns. You must know that the continuous production during this period will cause considerable losses to machine tools, and many mechanical equipment will be completely destroyed as a result.

There are countless ones that are scrapped and require maintenance and repair. This alone accounts for most of the technical strength of these factories.

It was precisely after seeing these real situations that Jiang Zhenhai set out on the ground, and after thorough discussions, selected the above two gun types. To be honest, from his innermost intention, he was also very eager to mount a fully automatic rifle.

But the problem is that the technical requirements for a fully automatic rifle are too high, and the current industrial capacity in Northeast China may not be able to support the development of a fully automatic rifle. If factors such as related ammunition are added, Jiang Zhenhai has no choice but to give up.

"Technically speaking, the 38-gun is the most suitable for our current industrial capabilities, while the M1 carbine is short and compact, and is slightly more difficult to imitate and takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended to be used as squad support firepower for squad-level suppression.

Firepower, the overall situation is like this, chief, you see..."

As he spoke, Jiang Zhenhai raised his eyes and looked at the head of the General Logistics Department opposite. Although his words were not stated clearly, his meaning was quite clear. Based on the actual situation at this stage, this choice is the most practical, although it is not as good as a fully automatic rifle.

It's shocking

, it doesn’t sound good to say complete imitation, but in a situation where the industrial base is almost zero, whether there are problems is far more important than the issue of face. Because of this, Jiang Zhenhai did not finish his words, because he knew that the General Logistics Department

The chief should know what he is doing.

Jiang Zhenhai's estimate was correct. The head of the General Logistics Department did have a good idea, but that was before. After receiving the report from Baiyun Factory, his calculations began to change again. He must know the kind of kindness that ordinary people can't guess.

Work hard, and finally on that day "

"Despite everything", he got the result he wanted most, so he pushed the documents in front of him to the side, put his hands in front of him, and looked at Jiang Zhenhai and asked very seriously, word by word: "What is the situation like Baiyun Factory?"
