Although Nanjing's temporary political axe was almost finished, and Sun Wen and Huang Xing also lost the capital to play Yuan Shikai's game, they still made a big move in the end.

With the strong support of Song Jiaoren, Sun Wen introduced the "Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China" on March 11, which is commonly referred to as the constitution. Other contents about the republic, the people's rights part does not say that no one cares, and no one takes it seriously, but one of them has attracted the attention of many people with real power, that is, the presidential system stipulated in the outline of the provisional political axe organization has been changed to a cabinet system in this provisional law, that is to say, in this constitution, the president is a fictitious title, a puppet, and has no real power.

Song Jiaoren said: "With the strength of our alliance, it is not a problem to control the parliament and form a cabinet at all!" ”

Seeing that Song Jiaoren was so confident, Sun Wen, who was a little disheartened, also showed a few wry smiles, even if the alliance could form a cabinet, it would not be him who would be the prime minister, but the Song Jiaoren in front of him. Huang Xing on the side muttered to himself: Responsible cabinet? It's quite beautiful to think, when the time comes, Yuan Shikai, who controls the Beiyang Army in his hands, can be willing to be a puppet, joke!

Yuan Shikai in the north heard that Sun Wen had made a temporary agreement before leaving, and after looking through it for a long time, he could be regarded as having found the cabinet system, but after he saw it, he then threw it aside: "Isn't it the parliament, let's also have a party to play!" ”

No matter what the difference between the cabinet system and the presidential system is, there is no difference between these things in the eyes of ordinary people, although some people in the real power faction see the difference, but basically they don't speak out, this is because many real power factions also hope to limit Yuan Shikai's power through the cabinet system, after all, Yuan Shikai, the president, is different from Sun Wen, the president, if the former still implements the presidential system, then he can rely on the army to complete the most thorough rule, but Sun Wen can't. From this point of view, the governors of the south basically agreed with and supported this provisional treaty.

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Jingyun has no opinion on the cabinet system and the presidential system, anyway, it is not him who is the president now, what he really cares about is that the power involved in these two systems has been the problem of the national situation, and he also hopes that someone can contain Yuan Shikai after the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, but he is really not confident that the group of people in the League can rely on the National Assembly Cabinet to contain Yuan Shikai, because history has proved that they did not succeed, and even Song Jiaoren was assassinated.

Therefore, he also followed Cai Ye and others to issue a painless telegram, saying that the presidential system is also the benefits of the presidential system, and the cabinet system also has a reason for the cabinet system.

After sending this telegram that had nothing to do with himself, Chen Jingyun went to the Fuzhou Arsenal.

"Now it's a lot bigger than last time!" Chen Jingyun looked at the large factories in the distance, and felt that it was finally effective to smash so much money.

Chen Jingsheng, who was accompanying him, said: "We have invested more than 4 million yuan to purchase various equipment, if there is no such scale, I am afraid that many people present will have to lose their heads!" ”

Chen Jingsheng is right, since the Fuzhou Arsenal was restructured, the Chen family has invested 20,000 yuan in cash to expand the arsenal, plus the previous military and political axe investment of 2 million yuan is 4 million, such a large-scale investment is also unique in the country, with money not only to purchase equipment, but also under Chen Jingyun's instructions to acquire the Mawei Shipyard. In addition, there was originally a Mawei shipyard in Fujian, and there were also a large number of technicians and skilled workers, and after hiring a considerable number of foreign technicians, the output quickly increased.

Tang Huikang also came up at this time and said: "Now our output is on par with the Hanyang factory, and if it takes a while, it can even surpass Hanyang!" ”

"More than Hanyang?" Chen Jingyun was a little surprised, in his impression, the Hanyang factory is currently the largest arsenal in the country, and the Fuzhou arsenal can surpass the output of the Hanyang factory after half a year of construction?

At this time, Tang Huikang also explained: "In terms of the output of rifles and ammunition, we have exceeded the production of Hanyang, the production of Type 12 rifles has reached 60 pieces, and more than 3,000 have been delivered, and 70,000 bullets can also be produced, but other parts are still difficult, especially in artillery, there is still a gap, and a few guns have been trial-produced, but because of technical reasons, two chambers have been blown up in a row, and it is still a little difficult to create artillery for a while!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "Although these technical things must be grasped, but we can't be in a hurry, as long as we grasp the right direction, sooner or later we can do it!" ”

Tang Huikang also said: "My subordinates understand! ”

"You did a good job in terms of rifles and ammunition, and the troops also reflected that the quality of the guns was very good!" Chen Jingyun said: "There are other aspects that need to be accelerated! Especially on the machine gun! ”

The imitation of the heavy machine gun of the Fuzhou Arsenal is basically carried out at the same time as the development of the rifle, but the progress is much slower, it was originally imitated with the MG01 heavy machine gun as a reference, but later Chen Jingyun got two MG08 heavy machine guns in active service of the German army through the arms dealer Henry, and the gap was found to be very large after a comparison, so the Fuzhou Arsenal was ordered to give up the imitation of MG01 and imitate MG08 instead, so that the time was delayed, and then it was difficult to manufacture a sample gun. However, there was an accident during the test firing, and a number of technicians were killed and injured on the spot, and after the improvement was delayed for a period of time, the Type 12 rifle has begun to equip the troops, and even the mortar has begun to be mass-produced, the imitation work of the heavy machine gun was initially completed, and then it was officially finalized, because the technology of the Fuzhou Arsenal was limited, and it could not be improved or even made any changes, and the imitation process was a full-size imitation, so even the name was not changed, and it was directly named MG08 heavy machine gun.

When the mortars began to equip several main divisions, the production line of the MG08 heavy machine gun began to be established!

The light machine gun is a direct imitation of the existing Madsen light machine gun, the Madsen light machine gun requires much simpler technology, the Guangdong Arsenal has imitated and produced a few years ago, but it has not been taken seriously, this time when the imitation of the light machine gun, the Fuzhou Arsenal also went to the Guangzhou Arsenal to dig up more than a dozen technicians. The imitation progress of the light machine gun was slightly faster than that of the heavy machine gun, and when the Type 12 rifle was finalized, it was officially finalized soon after, and the name was not changed, so the name of the original Madsen light machine gun was directly used.

These two light and heavy machine guns are imitated, limited to the technical ability of the Fuzhou Arsenal, and there is a little gap with the original, but the gap is not too big, and forbearance is still acceptable. Anyway, it is much better than outsourcing, you must know that because China's civil strife seems to show no sign of ending, the major warlords are vying to buy arms, and now the price of arms in the Far East market has risen sharply, and the price offered by arms dealers is now nearly 3,000 yuan for a heavy machine gun, and thousands for a light machine gun. However, if the Fuzhou Arsenal produces its own products, the cost will drop by more than half, and a heavy machine gun will cost less than 2,000 yuan, and the supply price of a light machine gun to the troops will only be 500 yuan.

"Rest assured, now that the production line of heavy machine guns has been completed, and the workers are in the process of proficiency, it is expected that fifteen units will be produced this month, and more than twenty units will be produced next month!" Tang Huikang knew that Chen Jingyun sometimes had to listen to what he said, and sometimes he could relax a little. As for the heavy machine gun, Chen Jingyun has personally asked many times, but in the past, it was impossible to make the trip because of technical problems, and Chen Jingyun was not easy to get angry, but now the technical problems have been solved, and if the output cannot be raised after the formal production stage, Chen Jingyun will be angry.

Next, Chen Jingyun and the usual once again referred to the Fuzhou Arsenal, and talked with the workers' representatives, in the process of being very surprised to find that the Fuzhou Arsenal had also set up a branch of the National Socialist Party, and had a National Socialist Party Committee, after learning about this, Chen Jingyun immediately turned his head to Qian Hanlang and said: "This thing is done well, the National Socialist Party should not only recruit celebrities, military and political dignitaries to expand its influence, but also expand its influence among the lower classes, especially the working class, to help them solve practical problems and improve the production efficiency of workers!" ”

Looking at the factory all the way, Chen Jingyun turned out to be a little sore.

At present, the scale of the Fuzhou Arsenal is already very large, and it is divided into several areas according to its products, such as light weapons factories, ammunition factories, artillery factories, and attached iron and steel factories, chemical factories, timber factories, machine factories, and even iron ore mines.

These sectors have formed a complete military system, from basic mining and steelmaking, to chemical production of explosives, to steel forming into various weapons. Basically, there are all of them, and to a certain extent, the arsenal of this era was a heavy industrial system, not only of the Fuzhou arsenal, but also of the Hanyang arsenal. The difference between the two is that the scale of the steel plant attached to the Hanyang plant is much larger, while the steel plant attached to the Fuzhou Arsenal is much smaller, this is because there is no large-scale coal and iron mine near Fuzhou, and it can only be maintained by some small iron mines, although there are also some mines in the northwest of Fujian, but the transportation is not the same, and the transportation is difficult, so far the coal and iron in Fujian can still meet the needs of the Fuzhou Arsenal, but if the Fuzhou Arsenal is further expanded in the future, it will be difficult to meet.

However, in a short period of time, it is unlikely that the Fuzhou Arsenal will expand, on the one hand, there is no money to continue to invest, on the other hand, the production capacity of the Fuzhou Arsenal is not small, it can be said that the current production capacity of the Fuzhou Arsenal to supply more than 50,000 people of the National Army has been very sufficient, such as rifles, now it can produce more than 2,000 a month, but at present, the National Army is not short of guns, and there are more than 5,000 88 rifles in stock. Therefore, after the Type 12 rifles produced now are equipped with the main forces, a large number of Type 88 rifles that have been replaced are also in stock. As for the sale, Chen Jingyun has no plans for the time being, he has a strong sense of crisis, for fear that when the time comes, there will be a war with the surrounding warlords or with Beiyang, and when the time comes, a large number of guns and ammunition stocks can be quickly replenished, and the army can be quickly expanded at that time. When the situation stabilizes a little later, and there are enough stocks, then you can consider selling the replaced Type 88 and Hanyang Manufacturing, and now, the more the merrier.

Walking past the steel factory, Chen Jingyun looked up and saw that there was a large open space in front of a factory building in the distance, and there were several wooden shelves placed on the open space, and when he looked closely, he found that it was actually three biplane wooden planes.

"This is an airplane? Did you get it? Chen Jingyun has never heard of Fuzhou Arsenal also getting this plane, I remember that he gave a task to the Mawei Shipyard at that time, saying that since there is no ship to build, then build an airplane, and buy it yourself when the time comes!

Tang Huikang, who knew this, shook his head and said: "This is not the original Fuzhou Arsenal, but the Mawei Shipyard that was relocated!" When we acquired Mawei Shipyard, we integrated their remaining equipment and technicians into a shipbuilding department and an aircraft department, and the rest of the personnel and equipment were supplemented to other departments! And this aircraft department has moved here! ”

Chen Jingyun looked at the wooden planes and became a little interested: "Let's go, go and have a look!" ”
