Chapter 168 Crazy Arsenal
Lijiazhuang, Ping'an County.
It is now the headquarters of the independent column.
At this time, the headquarters communications room received a telegram from the independent brigade.
After the correspondent translated it, he immediately reported to Gundam.
"Report to the commander, the independent brigade sent a telegram."
"Show it to me."
Gundam took the telegram from the communicator and read it.
When he saw that Li Yunlong had recruited so many people at once, he couldn't help but sigh in emotion.
Li Yunlong is quite good at recruiting soldiers. In the TV series "Bright Sword", his independent regiment has grown to more than 1 people. I didn't expect that he could recruit so many in such a short time.
It seems that the task of recruiting soldiers for the independent column will be handed over to Li Yunlong in the future.
Since the independent brigade has recruited 6000 more people, he doesn't need to continue to arrange people to recruit.
These 6000 people were just sent to the 386th Brigade. He had promised the brigade commander that he would provide him with two regiments of new soldiers.
Gaoda then picked up a pen and paper from the table and wrote a telegram.
"Communicator, reply this message to the Independent Brigade."
"Yes, Commander."
After the communicator took the message from Gundam, he turned and left the command center.
Gundam muttered as he sat in the command center.
"Now the personnel of various troops have been recruited one after another. I don't know what the current situation of the arsenal is. Let's go to the arsenal today."
Gaoda shouted to Li Dazhuang outside the door.
"Da Zhuang, prepare the horse for me, let's go to the arsenal."
"All right, Commander."
It didn't take long.
Li Dazhuang led the horse to the command center.
Gundam swiftly jumped on his horse and galloped towards the arsenal with his guards.
Inside the Ping An Arsenal at this time.
There were busy figures everywhere. Workers were working desperately to produce weapons and ammunition in the arsenal, and they even squeezed out time for eating and going to the toilet.
Since receiving the new mission from Gundam last week, the arsenal has started three shifts of production, and a large number of guns and ammunition have been produced.
In order to deal with the weapons and equipment of nearly 3 people, the arsenal closed the production of cannons and artillery shells and freed up personnel to produce guns and ammunition.
Meng Debiao found the production director in the arsenal.
"Old Liu, how many guns are produced in the arsenal now? Our task is heavy, and we must produce them all as quickly as possible."
The sweaty production director turned to look at Meng Debiao.
"Director, there are too many tasks this time. The workers are already working very hard to produce. They are too busy to cope with the workload."
"In the past week, we have produced nearly 800 rifles, 30 machine guns, and more than 10 rounds of ammunition every day. This is the maximum production capacity of the arsenal..."
After hearing what the production director said, Meng Debiao looked around. In his sight, every worker was working frantically.
He also knew that this mission was extremely difficult, mainly because the mission came too quickly, leaving the arsenal with no time to buffer.
They had no choice but to force the workers who were supposed to make cannons to make rifles and machine guns.
"Director Liu, you must ensure the quality of the guns. There must not be any problems. This could kill people. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Director. The comrades in the quality inspection department check the weapons and ammunition produced one by one every day, and will never let any defective gun leave the factory." Director Liu assured.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll take a look around by myself."
After saying that, Meng Debiao began to walk around the arsenal.
Looking at these skilled workers, Meng Debiao felt very gratified.
Many of these workers were trained by him personally, and have now become the backbone of the arsenal.
Without these hard-working workers, he would not be able to produce weapons and ammunition even if he was given more machines and equipment.
Meng Debiao walked to a weapons storage area and picked up a newly made rifle to play with it.
Pulling the bolt and loading the chamber is done in one go, very smoothly.
"Yes, it is indeed a good gun. It seems that the workers' craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated."
After Meng Debiao put the gun back to its original place, he walked into the office.
After returning to the office, Meng Debiao sat behind his desk and picked up the reports for the past week and started looking through them.
The speed at which Ping An Arsenal makes guns now can be described as crazy. It is no exaggeration to say that the output of Ping An Arsenal in one day is equivalent to the output of many small arsenals in one month.
Meng Debiao was also very clear in his mind that this time the county brigade had suddenly become an independent column, and the number of people had suddenly increased to more than 3. Next, the Ping'an Arsenal had to be expanded.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to support such huge consumption. More than 3 soldiers would need more than 10 bullets every day for training alone.
If the scale of the arsenal is not expanded quickly, it is estimated that the bullets produced by the arsenal in one day will only be enough for the soldiers to train for one day, let alone fighting. Once entering the combat state, the consumption of bullets will be even more terrifying.
...........
At the gate of Ping An Arsenal.
Gundam came to the Ping An Arsenal with his guards. When the soldier standing guard at the door saw Gundam, he immediately saluted and let him pass.
After entering the arsenal, Gundam was stunned by the scene before him. He had not been to the arsenal for more than half a month. At this time, the arsenal became more spacious and there were more workers inside.
Every worker was busy with production, and the roar of machines was everywhere in the arsenal.
He couldn't help but feel gratified that the Ping An Arsenal under the management of Meng Debiao did not disappoint him. In Gaoda's view, the many skilled workers in the arsenal were valuable assets.
Gundam didn't disturb anyone and walked straight to Meng Debiao's office.
He pushed open the office door and walked in. When Meng Debiao saw someone coming in, he looked up at the door.
"Commander, why are you here? You didn't even say hello in advance."
Meng Debiao immediately stood up to greet him.
"Director Meng, I just came to take a look today. There's nothing important, so I didn't call you in advance."
Gundam walked to the sofa and sat down, and Meng Debiao followed and sat next to Gundam.
"Debiao, I want to know how many weapons and ammunition the arsenal has produced now."
Meng Debiao replied immediately.
"Commander, the arsenal has produced more than 5300 rifles, 180 light and heavy machine guns and 60 rounds of ammunition in the past week..."
Gundam smiled with satisfaction.
"Comrade Debiao, I am very satisfied with the production capacity of the Arsenal, please continue to maintain it.
Are there any difficulties in the Arsenal now? Bring them to me and I will solve them."
