Wang Maoru and Baoqi got together in Shenyang for a day, and then went to the Second Arsenal of the National Defense Forces in Shenyang, which also became the Second Arsenal in Northeast China. The Second Arsenal in Northeast China was originally the Mukden Arsenal, but because of its proximity to Japan's South Manchurian Railway, Wang Maoru relocated all the equipment for the production of ordnance to the First Arsenal in Qiqihar and the Third Arsenal in Shuangcheng County.

Today, the Second Arsenal produces grenades, rifle cartridges, steel helmets, leather shoes, cotton military uniforms, cotton military caps, assault cuirasses and bayonets. Wang Maoru focused on the production of hand grenades and cotton military uniforms. There are now three types of Wehrmacht grenades, the first of which is a regular long-handled grenade, which is used by army soldiers in general. The second is a long-handled high-explosive bomb, which is only used for defense, because the power of the high-explosive bomb is too great, and it must be hidden behind a trench or cover, otherwise it is not only a single piece, but even the shock wave after the explosion of the explosives is enough to injure the soldiers of this side. The third is to supply some special units with egg grenades, especially for paratroopers, if they have a few heavy long-handled grenades hanging on their bodies, they have to let them fall from the sky, so they need lighter egg grenades. However, the power of the egg grenade is not small, because the paratroopers are generally out of the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, so the egg grenade is also a high-explosive bomb.

After visiting the grenade production workshop, Wang Maoru visited the military uniform production workshop, he took a closer look at the military doctors, found that the quality was very good, nodded and said to Zheng Dacheng, director of the Second Arsenal: "Military uniforms, especially cotton military uniforms, are related to the life and death of soldiers, and the quality must be strictly controlled." But then he felt like the leader of TV. Behind him was a large group of people, and then pointed to such and such a place and said, this place must be strengthened. It must be implemented there, and I just think it's funny.

Later, Wang Maoru observed several other production plants, but he didn't speak again, Zheng Dacheng was so frightened that he couldn't do it, it was over, Xiushuai was dissatisfied, and he was so angry that he didn't even speak. After the tour. Wang Maoru suddenly asked Zheng Dacheng: "What is the daily output of grenades?" Zheng Dacheng was busy saying that the daily output of ordinary grenades was 400, high-explosive bombs were 80, and the minimum output of oval grenades was only 20. Among them, the output of high-explosive grenades is not high because of explosives and material limitations, and the output of oval grenades is not high because of the small demand.

Wang Maoru asked Zheng Dacheng how low the production of grenades was. Second, whether the arsenal can increase production. Two thousand per day?

After a battle, tens of thousands of grenades may be consumed, and according to the current output, only 10,000 grenades are produced a month, and 10,000 grenades are not enough to fit an infantry brigade.

Wang Maoru asked whether it was possible to increase the production of hand grenades, and Zheng Dacheng hesitated for a while before answering: "When the Wehrmacht did not reorganize the whole team, but was only a Wehrmacht, the consumption of grenades could keep up, and if it was produced overtime at full speed under positive circumstances, it could produce 1,000 pieces a day." Normally, 400 pieces per day has reached the limit of the current scale. However, it was built under the construction of yì in Shanxi, Wuhan. Since the national army has been reorganized, the national arsenal should also be reorganized, and the arsenals in the south cannot be left idle and abandoned at will, and hundreds of thousands of military personnel will be laid off and unemployed, and when the war starts, they will not have time to find people. ”

Now that Chen Jiongming, director of the Department of Military Industry, has served as the commander of the corps, the question of who will fill the existing post is vacant. Later, Wang Maoru thought of a talent, Ji Yiqiao, director of the Organization Department of the Military Affairs Headquarters, who had strong organizational and management skills, and planned the merger of the War Department and the National Defense Force Command Center.

After returning to the War Department in Beijing, Wang Maoru directly appointed Ji Yiqiao to the post of director of the Military Industry Department of the Logistics Headquarters, and called him to his office and admonished: "You have done an excellent job in the merger of the two general departments, and I am very satisfied, and now I will give you a more important task, to count all the arsenals in the country and establish a military industrial system for the National Defense Forces." In particular, the Hanyang Arsenal, which will be the sixth arsenal of the Wehrmacht. Now that our country has a regular army of 1 million, a reserve force armed police of 200,000, and 300,000 police officers who can be transferred to the military in case of emergency, then do you calculate how many arsenals are needed? How many workers? How these factories are located and how can we make full use of our limited resources. ”

Ji Yiqiao didn't say a word after listening, just nodded, and left, this person's personality is like this, he doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't prevent him from being super capable of doing things. At present, the Wehrmacht has five major arsenals, the first arsenal in Qiqihar produces guns, the second arsenal in Shenyang produces ammunition, the third arsenal in Shuangcheng produces machinery such as automobiles and tanks and other high-tech armor equipment, the fourth arsenal in Saltu produces aircraft and aircraft-related equipment, and the fifth arsenal in Huludao produces ships for the manufacture of naval equipment, but in fact, only the first and second arsenals are the largest in scale and the largest number of people.

Ji Yiqiao spent two months conducting research and investigation after returning home, and then submitted a report on the integration of the arsenals of the Republic of China, which at this stage has a total of 25 large and small arsenals. In addition to the five major arsenals in Northeast China, the rest of the arsenals are Hanyang Arsenal, Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Taiyuan Arsenal, Suzhou Gun Bureau, Jinling Machinery Bureau, Tianjin Machinery Bureau, Anqing Ordnance Institute, Mawei Shipbuilding Bureau, Dagu Shipyard, Huangpu Shipyard, Xiamen Dockyard Factory, Sichuan Gun Bureau, Gongxian Arsenal, Guangzhou Machinery Bureau, Yunnan Machinery Bureau, Changsha Gun Factory, Liuzhou Gun Station, Jinan Ordnance Institute, Baoding Gun Maintenance Bureau, Xi'an Ordnance Institute. Among them, there are five shipyards, namely Mawei Shipyard, Dagu Shipyard, Huangpu Shipyard, Xiamen Dockyard, Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and there are originally two shipyards, one of which was destroyed by the Japanese by Captain Weihai, and the other is Qingdao Shipyard that was plundered by the Japanese. Most of the remaining fifteen arsenals were repair factories, and only the Hanyang Arsenal, the Suzhou Gun and Artillery Bureau, the Taiyuan Arsenal and the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau had the capacity to manufacture weapons.

In the military industrial integration plan, the national defense forces will have 15 arsenals, only the five major arsenals in the northeast will remain unchanged, and the rest of the arsenals will be merged and restructured. Among them, the Hanyang Arsenal was readjusted and changed to the Sixth Arsenal of the National Defense Forces. Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, and Suzhou Gun Bureau were merged into the Seventh Arsenal of the National Defense Force, which was established in Wuxi, Suzhou. Jinan Ordnance Institute, Baoding Gun Maintenance Bureau, and Tianjin Machinery Bureau were merged into the Eighth Arsenal of the National Defense Force, located in Dezhou, Shandong. Guangzhou Machinery Bureau and Liuzhou Gun Station were merged into the Ninth Arsenal of the National Defense Force, and the factory site was established in Liuzhou, Guangxi. Xi'an Ordnance Institute and Taiyuan Arsenal were merged into the 10th National Defense Arsenal, located in Taiyuan. The Gongxian Arsenal was built as the 11th Arsenal of the National Defense Force. Yunnan Machinery Bureau and Changsha Gun Factory were merged into the 12th Arsenal of the National Defense Force, headquartered in Kunming. The Sichuan Gun Bureau and the Anqing Gun Bureau were merged into the 13th Arsenal of the National Defense Force, headquartered in Chengdu, Sichuan. Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau Navy Branch, Dagu Shipyard and Huangpu Shipyard were merged into the 14th Arsenal of the National Defense Force, and the factory was established in Shanghai. Xiamen Dockyard Factory and Mawei Shipyard Bureau were merged into the 15th Arsenal of the National Defense Force, located in Mawei, Fujian.

After all the factories were transferred to the hands of the national defense forces by the local government and the warlords, the personnel were laid off, and the liquidation and inventory became the top priority. Ji Yiqiao's original job was the Organization Department, so he was very well connected and connected, and in the process of interrogation, Ji Yiqiao saved 30 million losses. Wang Maoru was also shocked by this, the situation of the deficit and corruption of the arsenal of the Republic of China was so strict, especially in the process of integrating the national defense forces, many superintendents and their whole families went together, and they were greedy for land, housing, money, and ammunition stocks and arsenals. Wang Maoru compatriots of the whole army, and announced to the whole army the list of people who embezzled military funds and the punishment methods, and the main culprits were all shot. Those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and watch others take advantage of their discomfort were also arrested, and the whole family was sent to the Western Regions to Chongbian.

At the same time, after sorting out the old ordnance of the warlords armed all over the country, the old ordnance was sold to foreign countries, and when foreigners went to China to do the arms business, we could also sell the guns to foreigners or distribute them to the people. However, the construction of the people's distribution was vetoed by Wang Maoru, and it turned out that the Chinese are indeed not suitable for guns, although everyone likes guns, but private guns in poor countries are the source of war. He is willing to sell old guns to foreigners, and China will also want to be an arms country, and the five rogue countries in the future will have to start from now.

The new director of the Department of Military Industry, Ji Yiqiao's military integration plan was supported by Wang Maoru, and then Ji Yiqiao dispatched troops, with the support of various departments, holding the sword of Shang Fang given by Wang Maoru, to carry out large-scale adjustment and optimization of the military system, and also let the first industry get rocket-like development.

Because Ji Yiqiao was transferred out of the Organization Department of the Military Affairs Headquarters, Wang Maoru urgently needed a director of the Organization Department of the Military Affairs Headquarters, and this Organization Department was not capable of ordinary people, with 1.2 million troops and more than 1 million reserves, the burden of the Organization Department was not light, and only those who could serve it could do it. In the end, he couldn't find a candidate who could do the job as director of the Organization Department, so he had no choice but to let Xu Youqian, deputy director of the Logistics Headquarters, who had a high prestige in the army, serve as deputy director of the Military Affairs Headquarters and concurrently serve as director of the Organization Department and deputy director of the Military Affairs Department. And Xu Youqian's arrival also means that the power of Vice Minister of Military Affairs Lu Fang has been compressed again. (To be continued.) )
