"Okay, tell me how to give me the barrel?" The king of Shanxi figured out the key, his expression relaxed, and he looked at Liu Lang with a little more expectation in his eyes.

If you don't have to import from abroad, it saves a lot of trouble. Although he did not have much hope that Liu Lang would be able to provide the barrel, after all, just like what Liu Lang said, the current domestic smelting technology has not yet reached the ability to smelt synthetic tungsten cannon steel, even if it is heavy machine gun barrel steel, it is imported from abroad.

"Give me a year, and I can provide you with no less than 1,000 barrels of 150 calibers, at a price of one-third of what foreign companies import, and the quality is definitely not inferior to foreign companies." Liu Lang said confidently.

"Your father's machinery company has figured out a way to smelt cannon steel?" Comrade Yan's eyes began to shine, and his attitude towards Liu Lang became much kinder.

If this is the case, Liu Lang is enough for him to give more courtesy.

Regardless of the era, science and technology represent productive forces, and productive forces represent war potential. As the master of the two provinces, Comrade Lao Yan knows better than anyone else.

Liu Lang, who has such technology, is not even worse than his own military talent.

"No, such smelting technology is not only strictly controlled by Western countries, but our current equipment cannot reach it for the time being." Liu Lang honestly poured a basin of cold water on Comrade Yan, who was full of hope.

"That's 。。。。。" Comrade Yan's eyes were full of disappointment and more doubts.

"Chief Yan, we can make a bet, if I provide you with a thousand cannon barrels within a year, can your Taiyuan Arsenal branch be built in my Guangyuan?" Liu Lang looked relaxed, as if a thousand cannon barrels were a thousand toothpicks.

Of course, Liu Lang has this confidence, not to mention that with the backing of the scientific research team of Huaqing University, sooner or later he can study the smelting method of cannon steel. The 1,000 cannon barrels that he bet with Comrade Yan, Liu Lang had already figured out where to get them.

A year was enough time for him to return from the West, and in the last world war, the defeated Third Reich handed over 28,500 cannons of various calibers to the Entente, especially France, and only 4,500 have been destroyed. The remaining 20,000 or so, with the exception of a small number that were used in the Gallic Rooster Army, a large number of artillery pieces and heavy machine guns were thrown into the huge pits of the open-pit mines of Lorraine.

Many people may think that after nearly twenty years of wind and rain, perhaps those steel behemoths that once could breathe tongues of fire have been corroded and useless.

In fact, when the Gallic roosters of the Second World War broke out, they were surprised to find that 40 percent of the abandoned artillery and heavy machine guns were still functioning when they came out of that huge pit.

Even when the soldiers of the Third Reich surrendered their weapons due to defeat, they still sealed the chambers and chambers of their guns with oil, and protected those weapons well. It was definitely a serious, almost frightening people in the world.

Liu Lang believes that there, he only needs to pay far less than the money to build a new cannon barrel, and someone will be willing to sell those "rags" to him, and the only difficulty is how to transport those "rags" back to China, 10,000 may be too big a target, but one or two thousand "broken copper and iron" may not be so conspicuous.

Comrade Lao Yan stared at Liu Lang for a long time, a smile bloomed on his face, and he burst out laughing: "Haha, okay, since your regiment commander Liu has this confidence, then the old man I will accompany you to make this bet, if you can transport the gun barrel to Shanxi before June next year, no, before August, or your Guangyuan, then the old man I will build the first branch of Taiyuan Machinery Factory in your Guangyuan, and I will sell the machine guns and ammunition required by your independent regiment at half price, even if the new machine guns and bullets used by your independent regiment, If your father's machinery factory has insufficient production capacity, my Taiyuan machinery factory can also process it for you. ”

"That's Dr. Grunov's patent, Chief Yan can talk to him, this Liu Lang can't be the master." Liu Lang lowered his eyebrows and put out some of Comrade Yan's ambitions.

"Haha, joking, don't take Captain Liu too seriously." Comrade Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all and continued to laugh.

"Each other, each other." Liu Lang also smiled.

"Old fox." Liu Lang smiled and added in his heart.

"Little fox." Yan Laohan laughed so hard that his eyes were almost squinted, and he also said viciously in his heart.

It's a pity that the little foreign girl is not here, otherwise watching this old and young man chatting here for a long time with a wit, it will definitely give these two a unified definition: they are not good people.

In this chaotic era, those who want to be good people are not only unable to help others, but even find it difficult to survive themselves. Only those who are more "bad" than the bad people are qualified to survive in the troubled times, which is the most useful knowledge that Liu Lang has learned since he came to this world.

The Japanese belong to the bad embryo that already has sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet, so Liu Lang will be so "bad" that even the Japanese have to shout: Baga, don't bully honest people!

During his trip to the arsenal with Comrade Lao Yan, Liu Lang gained a lot. Borrowing real examples that had happened in the past time and space to persuade the King of Shanxi to transfer the arsenal, whether he would do it immediately or not, but Liu Lang knew that Comrade Yan's heart had already moved, as long as the threat of the Japanese became stronger and stronger, then he would definitely start to transfer the arsenal earlier than in the previous time and space.

Moreover, Liu Lang had already been promised that as long as his 1,000 cannon barrels arrived, the first branch of Shanxi Wang would be moved to Guangyuan. The first branch often means the core technology, a dazzling array of all kinds of machinery and equipment are urgently needed by Liu Lang, Liu Lang's planning of the former republic of those military black technology, the need is not only the scientific and technological elites, those equipment is also the top priority.

Although it is not his own, but from time to time to borrow envoys, it is much easier to come than to come all the way to Taiyuan!

Of course, Liu Lang gained a lot, and the king of Shanxi, as a landlord, did not gain nothing.

Although he didn't recruit Liu Lang, a fierce general, the king of Shanxi saw a fat man who was much more difficult than in the intelligence, which made the king of Shanxi revise his analysis of Liu Lang again and understand why the bald boss suppressed him.

A terrifying but unruly guy, it is estimated that whoever is his superior will have a headache! Of course, Liu Lang's promise of 1,000 cannon barrels was a timely rain, which dispelled Comrade Yan's worries about the development of heavy artillery.

Although Liu Lang only made a verbal promise, and even the time span was as high as one year, Comrade Lao Yan had an intuition that the thousand cannon barrels must be indispensable to him. That is the intuition of the first person in Shanxi since 1911, and he has hardly missed people's self-confidence for more than 20 years.

Maybe it was the big and small foxes that finally met and ran into some cremation, the Chinese food was used in Comrade Yan's official residence, the general of the national army was the master, the lieutenant general Lao Li Tian was the accompanying guest, and Liu Lang, the little colonel, was treated with no courtesy.

During the banquet, Comrade Yan, who was in a good mood, also finalized the military heavy bicycle business that Fan Dagongzi shot the first shot into Shanxi, and the order of 5,000 vehicles made Fan Gongzi stupidly take the initiative to pour five large cups of 20-year-old Fenjiu.

Shanxi, sure enough, big fat sheep! Liu Lang bared his teeth and gasped. That's 350,000 oceans.
