If Zhang Han remembered correctly, Yu Wendou was his future father-in-law, and his daughter, Yu Fengzhi, was the woman he should respect the most. Therefore, Zhang Han naturally had a good impression of the Yu Chamber of Commerce.
After the telegram arrived in Fengtian, Zhang Yuting did not announce the huge changes in Yingkou to the public. He did not even tell his old friends, except for Zhang Zuoxiang.
"Yuting, this Hanze kid is really secretive!!”
"5,000 sets of German military uniforms. If they were really sold, I'm afraid they would earn tens of thousands of dollars.”
Zhang Zuoxiang also had a look of disbelief. In the past two months, all kinds of factories had been built in Yingkou. It seemed that they had surpassed Fengtian. It was all thanks to Zhang Yuting's good news.
.......................................................................................................
He did not tell anyone about the industrial construction.
"Heh, this kid, I, Old Zhang, really misjudged him. I didn't expect this Little Sixth to actually hide such a trick for me.”
Zhang Yuting was also indescribably proud. Now, the 27th Infantry Division and the position of Fengtian Military Governor had a successor.
For example, in the past few days, the Fusang authorities and the Polar Bear authorities had sent congratulatory messages. It was obviously in line with the common interests of the two great powers that Zhang Yuting would be the governor of Fengtian Province.
"Wait for me to call Yu Wendou and tell him personally that the Yu Chamber of Commerce has been expanding in recent years.”
However, Zhang Yuting was also happy. He took this opportunity to talk about the marriage between the two families. In the past, his son was weak and sick, and he felt embarrassed when he stayed at home without making a sound. Now, he had confidence.
"By the way, auxiliary minister, what do you think of Fusang's proposal to build five railroads?”
This matter was what gave Zhang Yuting the biggest headache. In order to gain the support of the Japanese, he promised Fusang that he would allow Fusang to continue building the five Manchurian and Mongolian railroads on the basis of the South Manchurian Railroad. Once these five railroads were built, every corner of Fengtian Province would be controlled by Fusang.
"Yuting, can you stall the Japanese for three to five years?。”
"I have the same idea. We should delay as much as we can. Now that Little Six is doing well in Yingkou, it's really uncertain whether he will be the one to make the decision in the northeast in the future.”
Two days later, Yu Wendou personally led his men from Lishu County to Yingkou County. Zhang Yuting had personally spoken. It was also a matter regarding his future son-in-law, Zhang Hanze. How could he not be concerned?
Moreover, it involved a huge business deal.
Before entering the city, Yu Wendou was stopped at the entrance of the north gate of Yingkou. Two patrolling soldiers with loaded guns made this rich merchant feel a little strange. Good heavens, Zhang Han was doing well in Yingkou.
" Stop the car, check!!"
Yu Wendou was also surprised. It seemed like what Zhang Yuting said was true. Liu Zi was indeed different in Yingkou. He hadn't seen that kid for several years.
Yu Wendou didn't waste any words. After explaining his purpose, he immediately brought Yu Wendou and the rest to the southern patrol camp.
However, Zhang Han was currently at the Armory. Yingkou's first bolt action rifle would be assembled in two minutes. Chu Shixin, Wang Yizhe, and the other company commanders were also looking forward to it.
In the hot and dry armory, the temperature was slightly higher. Soon, a brown rifle similar to the one made in Hanyang appeared. However, compared to the one made in Hanyang, it was more exquisite.
The bolt-action rifle provided by the Dreamplane was the initial version of the German 98K rifle. This rifle was only equipped on a large scale by the German army in 1935, but it was only 1916 now.
In front of Zhang Hanze was a brand new rifle that was filled with the smell of ink. Of course, some of the key components were imported. However, after the latest batch of German-made industrial machine tools were sent over, some parts inside the rifle would be completely produced by themselves.
Chu Shixin and Wang Yizhe also acted as if they had never seen the world before. Their eyes were burning with passion as they stared at the rifle. Once Yingkou could produce rifles independently, the source of ammunition for the entire 27th Division would no longer be controlled by others. They could even expand the army on a large scale and sell these firearms.
On the other hand, the firearms business was a huge profit.
"Battalion Commander, is this really produced by our Armory?”
As the current person-in-charge of the armory, Wang Xianyuan nodded his head with absolute certainty. From the beginning to the end, even though Zhang Hanze had provided the design drawings, it still took a lot of effort. Therefore, he was also looking forward to the actual shooting effect of this rifle.
"This rifle was personally followed by me. Of course, the blueprint was Battalion Commander Zhang's. The rest were personally manufactured by our Yingkou Armament Factory.”
Zhang Han picked up the rifle. The heavy and thick feeling made Zhang Han feel safe. If Fengtian had 300,000 modern army troops, neither Fusang nor Polar Bear would dare to treat the northeast as their backyard.
"Let's go to the shooting range and test our guns!!”
The new rifle was 1107mm in length, 600mm in barrel length, 3.9kg in weight, 15 rounds per minute, and 755m/s in muzzle velocity. It had a V-shaped aiming device and used 7.92mm bullets. The magazine had a capacity of five rounds, and each shot had to be loaded by pulling the bolt.
Zhang Han also took a deep breath and calmed himself down. The butt of the new rifle was pressed against his shoulder. The butt of the new rifle was made of conifer trees unique to the northeast. On one hand, it ensured the hardness of the butt, and on the other hand, it ensured the toughness.
He pulled the bolt and loaded the gun. With a click, the bullet entered the shooting position. Zhang Han aimed at the target 50 meters away and pulled the trigger. The bullet also spun out of the barrel.
Bang!
He accurately hit a target fifty meters away.
Chu Shixin, Wang Yizhe, and the others also applauded. Although the Battalion Commander's shooting standards were very high, the performance of this rifle was indeed outstanding.
Then, he shot at the 100-meter, 150-meter, and 200-meter targets, all of which were 10-ring hits…
" Battalion Commander Zhang, good marksmanship!!"
Wang Xianyuan also flattered him. After all, without Zhang Hanze, his monthly salary would not be so high. It was tens of dollars a month, and it included food and accommodation.
Zhang Han's heart was already in turmoil. Independent rifles were only available in a few large military factories. Now that Yingkou could be built, it would be unstoppable for the future development of Fengtian.
With the rifle and bullet production line, Zhang Han could continuously recruit more soldiers and conduct unlimited live ammunition training. He was not like now, where he had to save on bullets.
However, he still held it in and touched his rifle, feeling a little worried.
"Master Wang, what's the flaw with this rifle?”
It had only been a month and a half since the Armory was built. There must be many shortcomings in the rifle that was manufactured in such a short period of time. Although there were complete rifle design drawings, this was, after all, the Dragon Country, an agricultural country that could not even produce screws on its own.
Wang Xianyuan was also somewhat helpless. This rifle was definitely an excellent bolt action rifle. However, due to the limitations of materials and manufacturing tools, the durability of the rifles produced by the current armory was much worse than that of German machinery weapons. Of course, the new Hanyang production line also had this problem.
On the one hand, it was because these masters did not care about the precision of the craftsmanship. Often, a thousandth of a minute detail could make a huge difference in the performance of the rifle.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, I'm sorry, but the durability of this rifle and the barrel are not too high at the moment. Of course, once the German-made industrial machine tools arrive and some key components are polished, we will have a breakthrough. By then, our rifle will definitely be a trustworthy weapon!!”
