Chenjiagou, armored battalion.
"Deputy commander, this is the M4 Sherman tank, the main battle tank of the Ugly Country. It has just been developed and I don't have a large number of equipment yet!”
Yu Zhiqian said it very tactfully. In fact, if it was not for the system, this tank would have only officially entered service in the Ugly Country's army two years later in 1942.
However, it was already finalized in the 1940s. It was just that it was not mass-produced and was still waiting for the U.S. military to purchase it.
Yu Zhiqian introduced himself in this way to increase his background.
As expected, after hearing Yu Zhiqian's introduction, the deputy commander-in-chief's eyes lit up."How did you get it from there?"
"My family has some connections in the Ugly Country.”
The deputy commander-in-chief had a new understanding of Yu Zhiqian's background.
Although he didn't know if it was true or not, Yu Zhiqian would definitely not shoot his mouth off. It wasn't like there weren't any talents in the No. 8 Road. When the time came, he would ask those who had stayed abroad to know if this was true or not.
"This is the armored battalion that destroyed the 21st Brigade and defeated the Japanese's chariot regiment?”
" Yes, the Japanese's tank regiment is actually bullying our industry. Otherwise, the large-caliber heavy machine guns can directly destroy the Japanese's tanks. I've already asked my family to purchase a batch of anti-aircraft guns. When the 20mm machine guns arrive, I'll give two to the deputy commander. You'll know when you get someone to try them out.”
The deputy commander-in-chief nodded in confusion. He did not quite understand what Yu Zhiqian was saying, but he felt that Yu Zhiqian's background was not ordinary.
"Oh right, I heard from Zhao Gang that you have a military factory in the back mountain?”
Yu Zhiqian raised his eyebrows. He knew that the Deputy Commander-in-Chief would not come so easily today. Since he was here, Yu Zhiqian did not plan to hide it.
Yu Zhiqian would not be able to use the weapons produced by the Munitions Factory alone, so selling them to Route 8 was a good choice.
After all, if he sold it to the national army, who knew if it would end up in the hands of the big boss's private guards? It would be very difficult for it to appear on the frontlines of the battlefield against the Japanese.
If you sell them to our army, these weapons can at least be used to kill enemies on the battlefield.
As for the choice between selling and gifting, Yu Zhiqian ultimately felt that it was better to sell rather than give unconditionally.
It was fine to give away some, but if he kept giving away, there would be a big problem. He would not cherish what he got easily. For the future, Yu Zhiqian had to earn enough of his chips.
"The deputy commander-in-chief is interested? I'll show you around then. The construction of the water power station was just completed yesterday, and it's already officially put into production.”
The deputy commander immediately smiled." It's better to come at the right time than to come early. I was prepared to come two days ago, but I moved, so I was delayed."”
Yu Zhiqian added another piece of news. They had moved. It seemed that the 8th Route Army had moved to Chenjiayu. The people he sent to Daxia Bay today would probably find nothing.
"You moved?"
"This time, we killed more than 15,000 Japanese soldiers and caused heavy losses to the Japanese soldiers in Northwest Jin. The Japanese soldiers will not let this go easily. Great Summer Bay has been exposed, so we changed the location to be safer. If you want to come here, go find Li Yunlong.”
Then, the deputy commander-in-chief explained," It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that we've just moved. We haven't revealed much information. We're currently conducting some screening to prevent any accidents.”
Yu Zhiqian immediately understood. The 8th Route Army had probably discovered that there was no problem and had implemented some internal screening methods to investigate the internal problems.
"I understand. When I'm done here, I'll give the deputy commander-in-chief a gift to congratulate our army on moving.”
Yu Zhiqian casually said the word 'our military'.
The vice-commander was stunned at first. He looked at Yu Zhiqian, and then the two of them immediately burst into laughter.
"I heard from Li Yunlong that you want to wear the same underwear as him after we finish fighting the Japanese? There are no outsiders here, so let's be honest. Are you planning to join our 8th route?”
Yu Zhiqian nodded and said," Deputy Commander, I won't hide it anymore. If it's possible, you can be my sponsor and introduce me to the party. But what about my plan? I'm staying in the Jinsui Army now. After all, I'm going to join our 8th Route Army directly. It won't be good for the public. I don't want to be caught by others and say that it will affect the joint fight against the Japanese."”
The deputy commander-in-chief nodded and said," Indeed, you've thought it through very well. However, I can't be the person who introduced you to the party. You've helped us so much. I'll report it to the higher-ups and let them introduce you."”
Yu Zhiqian immediately understood. The deputy commander-in-chief was giving himself a layer of protection. He couldn't introduce Yu Zhiqian to join? Then who could introduce him?
If the person who introduced him was that person, then Yu Zhiqian would definitely not have any problems in the future.
He could not help but admire the Deputy Supreme Commander's sharp eyes.
"This used to be a bandit stronghold. After I took it down, it was turned into a military factory.”
The deputy commander-in-chief nodded." It's indeed not bad. The place is hidden and easy to defend. It's a good place." Even if the Japanese discovered it, as long as there was a team guarding this place, it would be difficult for the Japanese to take it down even if they sent an exploration team.”
After entering the Black Cloud Stronghold, the terrain suddenly opened up. There were large flat floors scattered among the lush forests, and a group of workers were busy.
These workers were all captured by the Black Cloud Stronghold to mine in the past. Later, when the power station was being built, Yu Zhiqian asked someone to teach them the basic assembly line operation process.
Including the families of these workers, the military factory did not lack manpower at the moment.
"Deputy commander, this is the M1 Garand rifle production line. We can produce 500 rifles a day. We don't have enough raw materials, or we would have more.”
Yu Zhiqian handed over a rifle that had just come off the production line.
The deputy commander-in-chief examined it in his hand and nodded in satisfaction."It's indeed not bad. This gun is much better than the Japanese's 38.”
"Deputy Commander-in-chief, what do you think?" Yu Zhiqian nodded. The production of these weapons requires raw materials, and I've never had enough of them. If we keep supplying them to our army for free, it won't be long before we can't support them. What do you think if I supply them to our army at ex-factory prices?”
The deputy commander-in-chief thought for a moment and said," That's reasonable. We really can't expose this place. Even if we transport the raw materials here, there's a risk of being exposed if we do it with great fanfare. I agree with your proposal in principle, but you know that we're short on funds.”
Yu Zhiqian immediately smiled and said," I know. How about this, two mid-sized rifles for a big eight-pellet rifle, one 380-caliber big cover for a big eight-pellet rifle? I'll take these old weapons back and sell them to the national army. This way, it will solve the problem of our military funds and the production problem of our arsenal. What do you think?”
The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment before he immediately smiled and said,"Isn't this our advantage?”
"Deputy Commander-in-chief, we're family, so it's settled." Yu Zhiqian immediately said with a serious expression.”
The deputy commander nodded." In that case, it's settled. I'll let…let me think about who will be in charge of this matter…"
"Li Yunlong, I have a good relationship with Regiment Commander Li.”
The deputy commander-in-chief instinctively felt that Li Yunlong's name was a little unreliable, but this was the person Yu Zhiqian had suggested.
Yu Zhiqian and Li Yunlong had a good relationship. It was indeed a good suggestion to let Li Yunlong take charge, but Li Yunlong, this bastard…
Soon, the deputy commander-in-chief thought of Zhao Gang. He had given Zhao Gang the mission to get in touch with Yu Zhigan.
"Alright, then let Li Yunlong's independent regiment take charge."”
