,

spn Early in the morning, Zhang Shusheng and Sun Changqing, accompanied by Wu Tiejun and others, came to the Mauser factory in the mountains. After passing three checkpoints, they finally arrived at this factory that all Chinese people could not imagine, but they were actually there.

The Mauser factory in front of you.

The entire factory is half-buried and connected to the mountain. The mountain can only be entered but not exited, ensuring the absolute safety here. In Wu Tiejun's words, as long as one company is placed here, two battalions will not be able to rush through it.

Go in.[]

After passing the last checkpoint, the group finally entered the hinterland of the Mauser factory, the production workshop.

"Boss, welcome to your Mauser factory!" Herman and the engineers from the Mauser factory welcomed Zhang Shusheng and others with excitement.

"Huffman, you have proven your worth with your actual actions." Zhang Shusheng praised him without hesitation. For this unlucky Huffman, the start of production of the Mauser factory made him sigh out. [

"Well, my dear boss, damn Germany actually dared to mistreat the genius Huffman. Humph, today I used practical actions to prove that I, Huffman, are still a genius after leaving damn Germany." Huffman

Mann waved his arms, but his dirty workman's clothes gave him another sparkle. He was a persistent German artillery genius, but now he was so happy that he couldn't control himself because of the start of production of the Mauser factory.

Zhang Shusheng patted him on the shoulder and said as he walked into the workshop: "Huffman, do you still remember what I promised you?"

"Of course, I, Huffman, must build a rifle that is more advanced than Mauser and have a greater output than Mauser." Huffman said proudly, regardless of what others thought of his bullish behavior.

view.

After looking at Huffman with approval, Zhang Shusheng finally arrived at the terminal production line for Mauser guns.

When Huffman saw that everyone was waiting to see his baby born, he couldn't help himself. He waved his hand and shouted: "My Chinese boys, let's get to work!"

After a rumbling sound of machines, the renovated Mauser rifle production line already had preliminary assembly line functions. A group of foreigners and Chinese workers were busy nervously, and the last brand-new Mauser 1898 rifle appeared in front of everyone.

before.

Bending down, Zhang Shusheng picked up this Mauser gun that had not undergone final factory maintenance. The cold barrel, streamlined body, and butt also gave people a very powerful feeling. He raised the gun and took aim.

The feeling of being the king of battlefield rifles arises spontaneously.

Arriving at the underground gun test center, Zhang Shusheng took a clip and inserted the five-round clip into the chamber. The gun locked and made a faint sound. He raised the gun, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The gun target 20 meters away hit the target, and the wooden gun target was shaken by the hit, causing a burst of thunderous applause.

This was an exciting moment. All the Chinese people present had the same idea. Wu Tiejun and others even shed tears from the corners of their eyes.

This is a nation that has been bullied. Just a dozen years ago, it was ravaged by foreigners and devils. The invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces sent this ancient nation into a hellish abyss.

At that time, the enemy's ships were strong and powerful!

At that time, facing the enemy's volley of guns, China only had long spears and broadswords.

At that time, in front of the bayonet and the muzzle of the gun, all the old, weak, women and children fell one by one.

At that time, the Chinese were unarmed...

Holding a brand new Mauser rifle and a modern Mauser rifle produced by the Chinese, Zhang Shusheng turned around, looked at a group of his men, and said sadly: "From today on, we Chinese officially say goodbye to the lack of large-scale self-produced modern weapons."

The era of rifles. And what you need to do is to produce tens of thousands of them. Our weak nation and our troubled nation need it. Only it can give me the right to speak, and only it can let the enemy

I know that from today on, the Chinese can no longer let them trample on me. I declare that this domestically produced rifle will be named the Chinese-style rifle."

The applause lasted for a long time, and everyone, including the few foreigners who could understand Chinese, had another definition of the man with the gun. This was an iron-blooded Chinese man.

Several people in the militia group, including Wu Tiejun and Chen Jun, had a burst of fiery light in their eyes. They seemed to have seen several Chinese elite troops holding Chinese-style rifles marching forward... [

——————

After welcoming the first Chinese rifle off the production line, Zhang Shusheng came to Huffman's office. The two closed the door and began to discuss some things.

"Let's talk about the production problems of Chinese-style rifles." Zhang Shusheng knew that there would be some trouble hidden under any halo.

Huffman tapped the pen in his hand and reported seriously: "Boss, the current situation we are encountering is mainly that the quality and production of gun steel cannot keep up. Because of the European War, we cannot import from the West.

Large-scale import. The steel produced by the company's small steelmaking plants is of low quality and low output, resulting in a low yield of many steel components."

"There is nothing we can do about it. A relatively medium-sized steelmaking plant will not be launched until the end of the year. However, the output of iron ore will be tight again." Considering that the iron ore reserves in Huize area are still not increasing,

Zhang Shusheng is already considering purchasing iron ore from Sichuan and other places.

"In addition, I have an improvement plan for the Mauser rifle." Speaking of the improvement plan, Huffman's eyes once again showed fanatical confidence, "Boss, you only need to wait for one year, and I will transform it for you.

A rifle better than the Mauser rifle. Those damn conservative and backward German old men will never have such a genius idea as mine. I want to equip the boss’s army with the most advanced rifles in the world.”

Zhang Shusheng nodded. After all, he was not a genius in ordnance, and he was definitely not as good as this German artillery genius who worked in various industries. Then he expressed his opinion: "I hope that this improvement will take into account the shooting accuracy, range, and storage capacity.

In addition, I need you to specially manufacture a batch of high-precision Mauser rifles."

"No problem, don't worry, boss. After I pack up the Mauser rifle, I will continue to design the artillery. Damn it, Hermann, who is a double genius, still prefers artillery."

Watching the arrogant Hermann leave, Zhang Shusheng thought a lot. Mauser rifle, no, it should be said that from the moment the Huaxia Type-1 rifle came off the production line, he decided that he would not be equipped with too many weapons in the future. However,

, but I have already found a home for its future output that will be so huge that it is unimaginable.

Shortly after Huffman left, two main Chinese engineers from the arsenal walked into the office. One was Jiang Guangting, who had been hired by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the other was Cao Bin, who had returned from studying abroad. The former was also an expert in firearms and had always been deeply loved by his superiors.

The latter studied in Germany and returned to China directly after graduation because of the European War. Both of them are the most typical patriotic scientists of this era.

"Sit down, I asked you to come here mainly to ask about the training progress of the Chinese technical workers in the factory and the study status of the students in the technical school." Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Following the manager's instructions, we have always paid special attention to cultivating talents. Each foreign technician has two to three students, and they are very happy to teach them. The students in the technical school are even more enthusiastic about learning, and many children often read until midnight

, several times, Cao Bin and I were woken up by students in the middle of the night, just because of a problem in a book." Although the Mauser rifle was not independently developed, Jiang Guangting was still very excited that it could be successfully industrialized.

Cao Bin also briefly talked about the situation in this regard. Generally speaking, the backbone of the arsenal is still the two of them and the dozen or so foreigners, but the students are also making progress at a visible speed.

Zhang Shusheng nodded, took out a document marked top secret from his briefcase, and handed it to the two of them, "Look, this is the design concept of a new type of weapon. If only we Chinese people are the technical research and development power, this new type of weapon will be

How long does it take to develop and perfect weapons."

As soon as they opened some conceptual basic drawings in their hands, the two of them exclaimed in unison: "A repeating rifle..."
