Chapter 1080: Bullet Factory

After listening to Zhong Yi's conditions, Zhang Yuannan agreed after a little groaning.

The reason why Zhang Yuannan agreed to this condition was because he trusted Zhong Yi and knew that Zhong Yi could not make any excessive demands on the 194th Division, and secondly, it was also a realistic need, if he didn't try to make some money, the 194th Division would really not be able to live, or he could only be like other division commanders, muddy and drifting.

But after agreeing, Zhang Yuannan couldn't help but joke again: "How do I feel as if I have sold myself?" ”

"If you want to sell, someone has to ask for it." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yuannan, and said, "Third child, this time I'll be honest with you, you should also marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"There's no rush on this matter." Zhang Yuannan hurriedly said, "The Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home?" ”

"You don't prevaricate me with the fact that the Huns have not been destroyed." Mrs. Zhang said angrily, "Ziren is so capable, isn't he also married to a wife?" Besides, if you marry a wife and become a relative, it will hinder you from fighting against Japan and fighting little devils? It's just nonsense. ”

Zhang Yuannan could only use a trick to change the topic, and immediately turned his head and asked his younger brother Zhang Yuanfan: "Sixth, you are about to graduate from the officer training corps, right?" How about it, go to the third brother, right? ”

"I'm not going." Zhang Yuanfan pursed his lips and said, "Third brother, you just said that you have only one gun for two people in the 194th Division, and it is a broken gun, so I won't go to your troops." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanfan said proudly: "I want to stay in the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps, although our East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps has not yet been formally formed into an army, but the weapons we use are all American weapons, mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns and carbines, what do you want, what can the 194th Division have?" ”

"Good boy, even you look down on your third brother and me." Zhang Yuannan scolded with a smile, "Wait, wait until three or five months, your third brother and a brigadier will bring the 194th Division into an elite!" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Third brother, if you really want to do a great job in the 194th Division, I am afraid that it will not work if you don't have a capable armed force in your hands, I will support you with another battalion of American weapons and equipment, and you can use the equipment of this battalion to build a guard battalion as a model force for your 194th Division." ”

"This dare is good!" Zhang Yuannan was overjoyed when he heard this.

At least at this stage, Zhang Yuannan can't buy American equipment even if he has money, if Zhong Yi can support him with a battalion of American equipment, it will really help him a lot, with this battalion of American equipment, not only in the 194th Division, no officer dares to provoke him, even when he arrives at the headquarters of the 10th Army, he can also stand up.

Zhang Mouzhi lost no time in saying: "Third child, Ziren helps you so much, you must keep it in mind, if something happens to Yinjiang in the future, your 194th Division must not stand idly by." ”

"Dad, don't worry." Zhang Yuannan said, "You and your mother are in Yinjiang, the matter of Yinjiang is the matter of the 194th Division, if the devil really dares to invade Yinjiang, our 194th Division will definitely risk his life to rescue Yinjiang." ”

Zhang Mouzhi bowed his head lightly when he heard this, and he was quite satisfied with Zhang Yuannan's attitude.

Because now, most of their old Zhang's business is in Yinjiang City.

If there is anything wrong with Yinjiang, their old Zhang family will be finished.

……

That night, Zhang Yuannan returned to Shangyu.

The purpose of coming to Yinjiang this time has been successfully achieved, so when Zhang Yuannan left, he was in a very good mood, and even began to outline on the road After the equipment supported by Zhong Yi was in place, he immediately launched a training operation.

Then there is the downsizing of the troop structure.

Since the 194th Division now has only more than 4,000 people left, it will be reduced to two regiments.

Those officers who are extra will stay if they are capable, and those who are incapable will all get out, and those who have connections will be transferred, and if they don't matter, they will be discharged and returned to the field, and the 194th Division will not raise idlers.

After the downsizing of the troops was completed, the whole training began.

Let's start with a three-month intensive training.

……

Let's not talk about Zhang Yuannan's vision for the 194th Division, and then let's talk about Zhong Yi's side.

At the beginning, Zhong Yi used three patents to exchange the equipment of the three American mechanics from Winchester Jr., which was the three beggar's version of the American mechanics, all the flat-fire guns were canceled, and only a small part of the curved guns were retained, but the rifles and machine guns used by the infantry were strengthened, especially the Garland semi-automatic rifles, which increased directly from 4,500 to 9,000.

Therefore, Zhong Yi ordered the equipment of the three beggars version of the mechanic, and there is a large margin of light weapons.

Even if Yu Liangzhen asked for the equipment of a division and gave Zhang Yuannan a battalion of American weapons and equipment, it was still enough for the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps to form three main divisions.

But Zhong Yi still decided to order another batch of American equipment from the United States.

Although in the original historical time and space, the Battle of Ningshao would not break out for another two years, but in this time and space, no one dared to be sure whether the devils would invade Ningshao in advance.

Therefore, Zhong Yi must take precautions and prepare enough beautiful weapons.

Otherwise, once the Battle of Ningshao starts, it will not be so easy to import weapons and equipment.

Zhong Yi's style of acting has always been vigorous and resolute, so as soon as Zhang Yuannan left on the front foot, he also left Zhang's house, took a car to Yinjiang, and found Christine, who was preparing to build a bullet factory.

According to the agreement signed by Zhong Yi and Winchester Jr., Winchester Jr. will also set up a bullet factory in the industrial park in Yinxi.

This Christine is the person in charge sent by Winchester Jr., and there are more than a dozen technical backbones under his hands, which will be in full swing to build a bullet factory in the industrial park.

The bullet factory that Christine is preparing to build can not only produce bullets, but also small-caliber mortar shells, and has a very important position in Zhong Yi's Yinjiang defense plan.

In a word, if there is no bullet factory, Yinjiang would not have the ability to fight a protracted war!

So after the meeting, Zhong Yi was not in a hurry to say about the order of arms, but first asked about the preparation of the bullet factory.

Zhong Yi said: "Mr. Christine, how are the preparations for the construction of the bullet factory going?" Are you having any difficulties? ”

"Difficult?" Hearing this, Christine shrugged her shoulders and said with a wry smile, "The biggest difficulty is two, one is electricity, and the other is raw materials, we can't buy qualified smokeless gunpowder in Yinjiang." ”

Zhong Yi said: "The problem of power supply can be solved soon, but shouldn't this smokeless gunpowder be produced by the bullet factory itself?" Why do you have to buy it from outside? ”

"No, no, Mr. Mayor, you're wrong." Christine said, "The bullet factory is just a bullet factory, not a gunpowder factory, it does not produce gunpowder, and the Winchester Arms Company has its own gunpowder factory, so there is no need to purchase it from outside, but the Yinjiang Bullet Factory does not have a gunpowder workshop, so it can only be purchased from outside." ”
