Chapter 958: Light Firearms Research Institute! (1)
Although it is a good idea to change technology in the market, it ultimately requires you to have your own technology and cannot be used without restrictions!
In that case, the market belongs to others and the technology belongs to others, and in the end he will have nothing. Lu Shan has a very clear understanding of this problem!
Yes, this is the only way to do now. We must contact the German side immediately. Lu Shan remembered Zhao Zihe, Li Chaolan and others who were studying at the Munich Military Academy in Germany.
This time I'm afraid they really have to work hard!
"Does Mr. Lu fall in love with Germany's Siemens?" Liang Yongsheng asked.
"Yes, Germany's Siemens is an old subsidiary with strong technology and reliable products. It is a good partner for cooperation!" Lu Shan said.
"Well, Siemens has a long history and its products are well-known in the world. It would be the best if they can cooperate with Siemens. However, with our strength, people may not be willing to cooperate with us!" Liang Yongsheng said worried.
"It's because of humans. Don't worry, try to contact me first and see what's going on over there. Then, there's not only Siemens in this world!" Lu Shan said.
"That's true!"
"Let's go to your office to have a look?" Lu Shan stood up and suggested.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, please follow me!" Liang Yongsheng gently patted the soil on his body, led Lu Shan and his group toward a row of wooden houses next to the construction site!
"Mr. Lu, look, this is our arsenal construction command. The conditions are so simple that it can only be like this!" Liang Yongsheng walked ahead and introduced.
"There are workers' dormitories over there. They are all pit houses, built on a relatively high terrain, so there is no need to accumulate water easily. This is our office area, which is enough to shelter from wind and rain. Also, there is a canteen over there..."
"It's getting colder this day. This is just such a thin layer of wooden board. This person is frozen in it!" Lu Shan said worriedly.
"It's okay, then I'll make some mud on the wall panel. It'll be thick!" Liang Yongsheng explained.
"This should be done as soon as possible. It snows here soon!"
"I'm also worried about this matter. When it snows, work will be stopped and the workers will have to rest. If we can quickly build the factory, then we can organize production as soon as the machinery and equipment arrives. Now, the foundation has just been rammed. If we want to build the factory, it's probably time to start spring next year!" Liang Yongsheng led Lu Shan into his office and said.
The office is very clean, and these drawings are placed in a messy manner on a large table inside.
The arsenal stationed a battalion of troops, which was transferred from Zhang Zongzhou's military police, and was specifically responsible for the security of the arsenal!
There are also factory protection teams and security departments in the arsenal. The external security is the guard battalion, and the internal security is the arsenal security department.
So these documents scattered on the table will not be stolen after most of the day.
"Mr. Lu, you do it, I'll make tea for you!" Liang Yongsheng greeted.
"No need to be so troublesome. Just have boiled water!" Lu Shanshou said, "The kettle in the corner of the wall."
"This water comes from yesterday. I'll make a pot of fresh boil!" Liang Yongsheng stepped forward and kept the kettle and said.
"No need, just boiling water, I don't care so much!" Lu Shan said.
"How is this good? Mr. Lu comes, I can't let Liangshui..."
"The cold water is good, I'm hot!"
"Mr. Lu..."
"Feng Yun. Go and make a pot of hot water!" Seeing Liang Yongsheng insisting, Lu Shan turned his head and ordered Feng Yun.
"yes!"
"Don't, Secretary Feng. Let me go!" Liang Yongsheng said.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go quickly!" Lu Shan glared.
Feng Yun did not dare to disobey at all, so he hurriedly ran away with the kettle!
"Come on, Lao Liang, let's sit down and have a good chat!" Lu Shan pulled Liang Yongsheng over and said kindly.
"Mr. Lu, let me report to you the construction of the arsenal..."
"There is no need to report. We are just chatting and talking about your current difficulties!" Lu Shan took out a small notebook, unscrewed the cap, and prepared to record it.
"The main reason is the shortage of large-scale machinery. Relying on manpower to dig, the project progress is too slow and there is also the highest demand. Our current production capacity is insufficient, mainly in terms of raw materials. We cannot produce smokeless gunpowder, but can only produce lower-level black gunpowder. The quality has always been low and it is not easy to control the equivalent..."
Liang Yongsheng was relaxed as he spoke. There were many difficulties in the construction of the arsenal, so he could only choose some that needed to be solved and said it out.
Lu Shan looked at it and found that there were as many as 17 items that needed to be solved, and there were many more ones at a time. The small notebook quickly wrote four or five pages of paper. This was a brief excerpt, without detailed records.
There are production problems, workers' life problems, and relationships with local people.
The construction of an arsenal involves land use, and it is easy to deal with those without owners. If you take it directly, you will have to compensate if you have a master. Even some houses are exposed to some houses. This is a place where conflicts are prone to arise.
The funding of the arsenal is already tight, so of course I hope to save as much as possible in land acquisition compensation, but the people naturally do not agree. Although the arsenal provides compensation in other aspects, such as working on the construction site, and hiring workers after the arsenal is completed, as well as admission education for the children's schools of the arsenal!
There is also the relationship with the original Old Yilan Arsenal. The production there is actually a self-proclaimed one's own business. Although it is now classified as Dong Kang and Liang Yongsheng will be in charge, he actually can't control the matter there at all!
Even if the Dongkang Light Firearms Research Institute wanted to do research in the arsenal, the people there made things difficult for them and refused to cooperate!
Because the person in charge of the arsenal was Li Du's wife and relatives, this guy didn't buy anyone's account, except Li Du's.
Lu Shan did not expect that Liang Yongsheng and other foreigners would have such a deep conflict with the original Yilan Arsenal under Li Du, which was almost incompatible with the fire and water!
After all, it is power and interests that are the ones who are responsible for driving Liang Yongsheng and the others away. Moreover, Liang Yongsheng and the others are not only crowded, but also money. Once the arsenal is built, they will inevitably merge into a new factory. At that time, they will be nothing. Now they are united in the outside world, and they don’t think about retaining their own vigor!
Where can the interests of the arsenal be opened? It is not the military procurement. Without the military procurement, can the arsenal be able to buy and sell arms privately?
Li Du is in Yilan, and they dare not buy and sell arms privately. Li Du is not here, so they become more courageous!
"Lao Liang, do you really have the evidence that they bought and sold guns and ammunition privately?" Lu Shan was surprised when he heard this news. Li Duzhi's army was very strict and would never tolerate such a thing. But no matter how wise the leader was, he could not have a clear understanding of everything. The forest was big and there were all kinds of birds.
"It was seen by a worker with his own eyes. The transaction location is..., and the other party seems to be not a Chinese." Liang Yongsheng said.
"There are only bandits who need to secretly buy guns and ammunition in Beiman City, but also wealthy businessmen and powerful people from all over the country. If they were not Chinese, the most likely one would be the white bandits!" Lu Shan inferred.
"The worker who discovered this secret told me the matter. I told him not to speak out to the public. If he finds it again, he will notify me immediately!"
"So they have traded more than once?"
"I traded three times in total, and the number was not very large. There were about 100 guns in total, and there were 5,000 bullets!" Liang Yongsheng said, "After the incident, I secretly checked the accounts and estimated such a number!"
"The firearms and ammunition traded should be reported and scrapped, right?"
"Yes, their firearms reported and scrapped were directly re-trained. It was difficult to find out the amount of firearms and scrapped afterwards. They were so greedy for these guns and ammunition in private!" Liang Yongshengdao, as an old man in the arsenal, knew the best about Dao in this.
At the beginning, the Yilan Arsenal was just a gun repair shop. It could build some gun parts by itself and had a small steelmaking furnace. Any broken and unusable gun parts would be refurbished and made steel, so that there were basically no waste guns.
Originally, the waste guns from the Yilan Guard Brigade were also sent to the arsenal, but after the Yilan Guardian Arsenal was directly under the direct control of the General Equipment Department of the Dongkang, the waste guns from the security brigade were nowhere to go!
"Don't the arsenal lacks steel raw materials?"
"Of course, raw materials are short of, but they can still maintain production. Since we cannot make high-quality alloy steel, the production of firearms has very high requirements for steel. Even if it is re-made, the quality is far inferior to that of original products. Therefore, the quality of firearms in the arsenal has not been improved, and the product residual rate is also very high. The main task now is maintenance. There are about ten guns a day, plus repairs, no more than thirty ones a day, and only about one thousand new ones are built and repaired in a month. It is okay not to fight. Once a war begins, the efficiency is far from keeping up!" Liang Yongsheng said.
This production capacity is not as high as that of Fengtian Arsenal. Moreover, Fengtian Arsenal can also produce various light and heavy machine guns and cannons. At most, Yilan Arsenal can imitate light machine guns, and its yield rate and lifespan are also greatly inferior!
"When I came, I heard from the Acting Brigade Commander Ma that you sent someone to ask him for a batch of used guns and cannons and to make steel back and forth. Is there such a thing?" Lu Shan asked.
"There is such a thing. The Institute of Weapons wants to test-made guns, but there is no raw material, so I went to the arsenal for help. The arsenal replied that all the raw materials are used for production. If they want to do research, they can find the raw materials themselves. Director Ivanov of the institute found me. I asked and learned that a batch of worn-out weapons were idle in the military warehouse of the Yilan Guard Brigade. I originally planned to transfer to the arsenal. Who knew that the arsenal suddenly had a row and had nothing to do with the Yilan Guard Brigade, so the batch of things remained. Unexpectedly, the Acting Brigade Commander of Ma wanted to make these old weapons. I knew he wanted to sell them for a good price, but I had no money. This matter was so bad..."
"That's the raw materials needed by the Light Firearm Research Institute?"
