Chapter 305 Submachine guns? (1st Update)
After the commander and Hu Bin finished talking about the arrangements for the troops, they took those drawings and asked Hu Bin, "What are these drawings for?" ”
"Ah, this, this is me designing a semi-automatic rifle, in fact, it can also be used as a submachine gun, I want to design a rifle with powerful firepower for my troops!" Hu Bin thought about it for a while, but still told the commander-in-chief.
"What? You will also design guns? When the commander heard it, he looked at Hu Bin in shock, he couldn't believe his ears, he really didn't know how Hu Bin knew about the design.
"No, I'll mess around with myself, and I'll have to discuss it with the engineers then!" Hu Bin shook his head and said.
"No, no, you have drawn so many drawings, I really don't understand, how did you learn so many things over the years by following your Lao Tzu?" The commander still looked at Hu Bin suspiciously.
"Read everything, my dad got any books, show me everything. So I know a lot! Hu Bin said honestly, of course, he couldn't let the commander know that he was from the afterlife.
"Hey, I'm a little sorry now that I agreed to let you go to the front, if you have talent in this area, it's the best in the arsenal!" The commander sighed and said, Hu Bin didn't speak, just hehe.
"Okay, I know that your kid will run, pay attention to your own safety, I will go back to Yan'an tonight, the money will come down soon, and we will also pay you back the money you borrowed, don't be angry and say that you will pay back what you borrowed, and you will not let your uncle be a man!" The commander looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Where's my winnings?" Hu Bin asked with a smile.
"Bonus? Oh yes, rest assured, send it all down! When the commander heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said to Hu Bin.
"Then I won't send you. I'm running out of time in the arsenal, and once the design is complete, we're going to open the mold! Hu Bin sat there and said.
"Stinky boy, you dare to drive me away, don't you?" The commander asked, feigned disgrunt.
"What else do you not have? If not, I'm going to work! Hu Bin asked again.
"Alright, don't bother. You kid, I'm leaving, by the way, these packs of cigarettes are for you, smoke less! The commander stood up, thought for a moment, took a few packs of cigarettes from his pocket, placed them on the table, and left. When you go out. Don't forget to close the door to Hu Bin.
When they arrived at another conference room, Li Dazhui and Wang Xinyun discussed with the deputy commander and the commander-in-chief what kind of weapons to imitate.
"In my opinion, it's better for us to copy the American carbine, and now they have a gun called the Garand rifle, which is called the M1 in the United States, which is very good.
However, once we copied it. It is estimated that the United States will come to us for trouble, and it is also possible to imitate the formal. But this gun, how to say it, the performance is more average, of course, now we have good materials, and the performance is better than that of the national army! The Commander-in-Chief sat there and spoke.
"The German Mauser K98K is also possible, right?" The deputy commander spoke.
"Yes. Yes, but if Germany does not authorize it, we will not be able to produce it, and it will be unclear when the time comes. It's the same over there, if you want to imitate it, I think it's better to imitate it officially, and copying other countries will bring trouble to our Eighth Route Army! The commander-in-chief spoke.
"This is for sure, but if we don't imitate it, we don't have any other better way, we can't design it ourselves, besides, the copper problem has not been solved, there is not enough ammunition, and it is useless to get so many guns!" The deputy commander spoke.
"Still undecided?" The commander walked in and said.
"Report commander-in-chief, not yet, it's very troublesome, small Japan's 38 big cover is good, but the caliber of the bullet is not good, the lethality is average, if it is imitated, there is no problem in terms of technology, but it may not be easy to use on the battlefield, copying the United States and Germany, it will bring trouble to our country, and it will also bring trouble to our Eighth Route Army." Li Dazhui stood up and reported to the commander-in-chief.
"I went to see Xiaobin just now, he is designing a rifle that can also be used as a submachine gun, I don't understand, I don't know if it's true!" The commander sat down and said.
"What!" The deputy commander and the commander-in-chief stood up almost at the same time, looking at the commander in disbelief.
"It's true, he's still designing!" The commander saw their expressions and immediately said.
"How could it be, how could he design a gun, isn't that a joke?" The deputy commander was the first to say disbelievingly.
"Look, anyway, he's going to stay here in the arsenal now, let him toss, we imitate guns, this road still doesn't work, you have to have your own gun! Let's see if Xiaobin can get it out! The commander sat there and said.
"Really?" The Commander-in-Chief asked, staring at the Commander-in-Chief.
"Anyway, that's what he just said, if you don't believe it, when he comes out later, you can ask yourself, don't bother now!" The commander spoke.
"Commander, if it's true, I suggest we don't go back tonight, just wait here, Commander, you know, what does it mean if we can design a rifle ourselves?" The deputy commander looked at the commander and said a little excitedly.
"Waiting for him to come out? How do I know if I can make it? He is not sure about this matter in his heart, what are we waiting for him? The commander heard it and said disagreeingly.
"I agree to wait, Commander, I still believe in this now, those things outside, but people made them!" The commander-in-chief thought for a moment, looked at the commander and said.
"Okay, just wait, anyway, there's nothing too important right now, just wait here!" The commander thought for a moment, nodded and said.
Until the evening, Hu Bin had not come out inside, the commander personally brought the meal in, and saw that Hu Bin had finished eating, the commander wanted to ask Hu Bin how the design was, but seeing that he had just finished pulling the rice, he immediately lay on the table again, drawing drawings carefully, and the commander did not ask more, nodded with great satisfaction, and carefully took those bowls and went out.
I just went out and saw the deputy commander and the commander-in-chief waiting at the door.
"How?" The deputy commander asked a little anxiously.
"I don't know yet, I didn't say a word, I'm just busy drawing drawings, and I can't disturb his thinking!" The commander immediately said, and the guard next to him took the empty bowl in his hand.
"Yes, yes, you can't bother!" The deputy commander nodded and said.
Then the three of them discussed other things in the conference room of the arsenal, and Hu Bin did not come out until late at night.
The next morning, after the commander got up, he went to see Hu Bin in the conference room, and saw that Hu Bin had fallen asleep on the table, and next to him, there were a lot of drawings, and on the other side, there was an ashtray made of bamboo tube with some water, which was full of cigarette butts at this time.
The commander went out with the ashtray, poured it out, put it back in its place, and then went out, and Li Dazhui brought Hu Bin something to eat, put it on Hu Bin's desk, and went out.
They didn't dare to disturb Hu Bin, because no one knew what time Hu Bin went to bed, so they could only wait.
Around eight o'clock, Hu Bin got up and saw what he was eating, so he finished eating first, and then he couldn't take care of washing at this time.
After eating, he continued to draw the drawings of those parts there, and it was not until 12 o'clock that Hu Bin finished the drawings and came out of the conference room.
As soon as he came out, the commander knew about it and walked over.
"Finished?" The commander looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"Didn't you go back? Why haven't you gone back yet? Hu Bin saw the commander and was stunned for a moment, yesterday he heard the commander say that he wanted to go back.
"Aren't you waiting for your drawings? Drawn? The commander said again.
"Well, I'm done painting, now I need to get the parts out, I'm going to try to see if I can make it!" Hu Bin nodded.
"Let's go, take a look, there's nothing important on Yan'an now, I'll see if you can get the gun you said." The commander said to Hu Bin.
"Alright, somebody will bring me something to eat later. I haven't had lunch yet. Hu Bin explained to Wang Xinyun on the side and said.
"I'll send it to you soon, let's get it first!" Wang Xinyun said with a smile.
Soon, Hu Bin and they arrived at the work area of the arsenal, Hu Bin and Zhang Ke, and Liang Hong made molds together, according to Hu Bin's drawings, several of them began to make molds, and the commander couldn't understand them, but they were still waiting there.
"Report to the deputy commander, important information!" A staff member next to the deputy commander came over and said to the deputy commander, and the deputy commander heard it, took the telegram and looked at it carefully.
"Okay, great!" After reading it, the deputy commander said quietly and excitedly.
"What's wrong?" The commander asked.
"Found a copper mine! According to the places Hu Bin said before, we found a place and found a copper mine! The deputy commander took the telegram and handed it to the commander-in-chief, and said to them.
"Where?" The commander-in-chief asked.
"It's in Yuanqu, Shanxi, there is a copper mine over there, how big it is, and now our engineers are still figuring it out, but the telegram said that it is estimated that there are a lot!" The deputy commander spoke.
"Okay, great, it's so close for us to mine and transport!" The commander-in-chief heard it and said happily.
"I have arranged for people to go through Hong Kong to get a batch of copper refining equipment out, and then we will have our own copper to make bullets, this money is still made by Hu Bin at the beginning, or where do we have so much money, the rice people are too bad, the price is very expensive, but there is no way, we can only buy it!" The deputy commander said to the commander, still a little unwilling in his heart. (To be continued.) )
