The Chief of Staff choked on Li Yun Jie's words, but his expression did not change. He was still smiling.
"I roughly understand the situation. This matter is indeed Commander Liu's fault. Now that the external threat has not been eliminated, we can't have internal worries.”
"Chief of Staff, please don't say that. The Huangdong Cliff Munitions Factory and the Hanyang Munitions Factory are the backbone of our army.”
Li Jie exhaled and continued.
"Regiment Commander Liu, I won't supply any ammunition here. Even if the weapons are manufactured later, there's no way that Regiment 772 will have a share.”
Li Jie's words were unquestionable.
However, it made sense.
AK-47s were being manufactured at full capacity. Even with the help of the system's production line, how many could they produce in a month?
Anyway, Li Jie had already made up his mind.
After Kong Yi's new 2nd Regiment was built, Li Yun Jie put all his effort into building the 386th Brigade.
Not to mention the entire 129th Division, even if it was the entire Eighth Route Army, there were not many who could compete with the Iron Triangle.
In less than a year, Li Long had developed the Independent Regiment to the point where it could compete with a division. With Ding Li and Kong Yi's help, if they had their own weapons and equipment, the Iron Triangle would not be inferior to the Japanese.
"Minister Li, calm down. You're the boss's treasure. Don't be angry over this. It's really a loss for our army.”
The Chief of Staff patted Li Jie's shoulder.
"Chief of Staff, I was a little harsh just now, but that's what I meant. He'll be on my blacklist from now on. Even if the emperor comes, he won't be able to touch me.”
"Hahaha, good. I believe the boss will give you justice. If you say it clearly, you'll reap what you sow. It has nothing to do with you, Li Jie.”
"I, Li Jie, feel honored that the Chief of Staff said so.”
"Alright, don't mess with those useless people. What's the level of your gun?”
Li Jie thought for a moment and extended a finger.
"I have a rough idea in my mind. I should be able to make it in less than a week. As for mass production, I still need to wait for some time.”
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news at the headquarters.”
After sending off the Chief of Staff, the system's voice sounded in Li Jie's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing option 2. The reward has been issued.”
Li Jie was stunned.
He hurriedly returned to his room. The blueprint on the table was still the same, but there were specific parameters and data on it.
Under the table were three large boxes.
Li Jie opened it and saw all kinds of materials neatly placed inside.
Beef tendon wood, plastic steel, springs…
Now that he had the materials, the next step was to create it.
With Li Jie's current equipment in the factory, it would be difficult to make AK-47 parts. Melting steel was a big problem, not to mention the exquisite parts.
Li Jie thought about the production problem.
Soon, it was night time. Zhang Xiaoqian came in with a big bowl.
Minister, it's time to eat."
"Alright."
Li Jie nodded mechanically and took the bowl from him. Zhang Xiaoqian also noticed the completed blueprint and tilted his head to look at it twice.
The more he looked, the more shocked Zhang Xiaoqian was. He felt a sense of awe towards the young man in front of him.
"What should I do?"
Li Jie thought about the problem as he ate.
"Minister, what are you thinking about?”
"We have the blueprint and the materials, but we can't produce the corresponding parts with our current capabilities.”
Li Jie sighed.
"The furnace used to smelt brass cannot withstand the high temperature of melting steel. That furnace can only heat up to 1,000 degrees at most, but if you want to smelt steel, 1,500 degrees is the foundation.”
Li Jie put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Why don't we find two fellow townsmen who know how to smith to help?”
"That's possible, but how do I refine it?”
"This…"
Li Jie sighed. Even if he used an iron furnace, it would probably melt together with the steel at around 1,500. When that time came, it would be directly mixed together. By then, it would be real " steel."
"Minister, when I was in the Central Army, I heard of a method that can assist in melting copper. I wonder if it will help in melting steel?”
"What method?"
"The outside and inside of the furnace actually don't affect each other. You know, this furnace has a total of two layers. If we use water to lower the temperature outside and don't affect the smelting of the inner layer, can we…"
Li Jie's eyes lit up.
"This is a good idea. Go out and look for someone who knows how to forge. There's no time to lose.”
Zhang Xiaoqian nodded.
"Minister, you should eat first. I'll go ask now.”
Li Jie nodded, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.
The process of melting the steel was also very worrying. Li Jie was afraid that an accident would cause the furnace to melt, but the facts proved that he was thinking too much.
When the workers cooled down the furnace, Li Jie saw the bright red steel inside from above and exclaimed in surprise.
"It really didn't affect the inside!!”
