After the rifle was the Bren light machine gun. Han Bin was quite familiar with this light machine gun. After all, it was an excellent machine gun.
However, the production of this light machine gun was not large. At present, there were only about 300 to 400 of them produced every month. The maximum production was 800 to 900.
There were many reasons why the production of this light machine gun was not that high. For example, there were not many production workshops and workers.
Han Bin did not intend to produce too many of them. This light machine gun was only used as a temporary light machine gun for the military in the future.
His own security guards did not plan to equip this light machine gun either. In Han Bin's plan, his security team would be equipped with the MG34 general purpose machine gun. He did not like the Bren light machine gun, but he could sell it to the military as a transition weapon.
Others might not know, but Han Bin knew very well that the government's finances were very difficult now. They had to borrow money from abroad for military expenses. It could be said that the government's financial deficit was already very terrifying.
The military would not replace the MG34 general purpose machine gun on a large scale. They would definitely buy it, but they would not equip it on a large scale in the military because the terrifying ammunition consumption was something they could not afford!
Therefore, this light machine gun was now used as a temporary weapon. When the government's finances were sufficient and the military expenditure was sufficient, they would probably consider giving up the Bren light machine gun.
After that was the MG34 machine gun. There were quite a number of production workshops for this machine gun. There were a total of eight production workshops, and the current monthly production was about 500. After a while, it could be increased to about 1,000. This was also the current limit.
In fact, the MG34 general machine gun's performance was indeed excellent, but in terms of cost-performance ratio, it was much worse than the MG42. The main reason was that the MG42 was a product of Germanic production due to the scarcity of raw materials.
The MG42 machine gun was made of stamped parts, which was very suitable for mass production. The MG34 machine gun was not the same. This machine gun was the embodiment of the rigor of the Germanic people. It was not like a weapon, but a work of art. It had the disadvantages of cumbersome production and high cost.
However, the current limiting factor was the cumbersome production. It was a big challenge for these workers who had just started working for less than a month to produce this weapon.
The Browning M2 machine gun was different from the MG42 machine gun. This heavy machine gun was not outdated even in the 21st century. It was still the standard weapon of the US military.
The Americans 'pragmatic pursuit of cost-effectiveness was vividly reflected in this heavy machine gun.
The Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun used a lot of stamping parts to manufacture, and the number of parts for the entire heavy machine gun was relatively small compared to the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun, so the structure was relatively simple.
However, it was very powerful, sturdy, and durable. Compared to the cumbersome MG34 general machine gun, its production was much simpler.
The current monthly production of this heavy machine gun was about 400. If the production capacity was fully utilized, the monthly production would exceed 1,000.
In Han Bin's equipment plan, the Browning M2 heavy machine gun had an important position, but the investment in manpower was much less. After all, the Browning M2 heavy machine gun was not a Garand rifle, nor was it an MG34 general purpose machine gun. The equipment of this heavy machine gun was at least a platoon level.
However, it was usually a heavy machine gun squad at the company level, and a heavy machine gun company at the regiment level. Each regiment was planned to be equipped with 30 to 40 such heavy machine guns.
To put it bluntly, the demand was not as large as the MG34 general machine gun, so the manpower investment was naturally less.
Han Bin had an intuitive feeling about the current production capacity of the Munitions Factory. He didn't have to worry about whether there would be excess production capacity in the future. The next few years were destined to be extraordinary.
Once the war broke out, there would be no problem of overcapacity.
..........
When Han Bin finished inspecting the arsenal, a disguised reporter brought his assistant to Lu 'an.
Wang Zhihong, an editor-in-chief and reporter of the Jinling Morning Post, was supposed to be sitting in his office drinking tea and reviewing the news submitted by the reporters.
But this time, Wang Zhihong felt that he had to come to Lu 'an to take a look.
Some time ago, a group of big landowners in the Jiangnan area had made a so-called Manmin Book and went to petition. He naturally knew about it.
At that time, the chief editor of the newspaper office told him that the newspaper office could not interfere in this matter, nor could they report any news about this matter, because this matter was too sensitive.
On one side was the landlord who represented the local tyrants of the Jiangnan area, and on the other side was the son of a large family like Han Bin. Moreover, this matter concerned the common people, so they could not sit on their butts.
However, the managing editor later told him to publicize this matter. The managing editor even personally ranked the rankings for this matter. Even the content of the newspaper was personally decided by the managing editor.
This was followed by all sorts of denouncement of Han Bin by the Jiangnan newspapers. Many of the newspapers were extremely bold and demanded that the government immediately remove Han Bin from all his positions, but the government pretended to be deaf and mute in the face of this matter.
Then, a few days ago, the editor-in-chief personally came to find him, hoping that he would select a few outstanding reporters to secretly interview Lu 'an and find out what exactly happened there.
This series of changes let Wang Zhihong know that there must be a hidden story behind this matter. Therefore, at the age of 40, he brought a young male assistant to Lu 'an.
There was not much rain in Lu 'an in November. To be precise, after the frost, the rain had decreased. The road was not as muddy as it was in September. On both sides of the road were fields.
Wang Zhihong could see some farmers harvesting in the fields.
The harvest season was not only in August and September, but also in November. The sweet potatoes planted in the fields were harvested at this time.
Of course, further north, this season was also the time to harvest corn and prepare to plant winter wheat. However, this season in Lu 'an was the time to harvest sweet potatoes.
"Chief Editor, why are there only some old people working in these fields? What about those young people? Why didn't I see any of them?"
Wang Zhihong's assistant was called Lin Xin, a young man in his twenties. He saw that the people working in the fields were all old people. He did not see any young people. He could not help but be curious!
Wang Zhihong frowned." Didn't I tell you not to call me chief editor? Call me Big Brother Wang!"”
The young assistant, Lin Xin, seemed a little embarrassed and did not dare to speak.
Wang Zhihong's gaze swept across the two sides of the road and he frowned.""But what you said is indeed a strange thing. I actually didn't see any young people. Strange! It seemed that Lu 'an was definitely hiding something! Let's go. We'll know what's going on after a few days of undercover investigation!”
..............
Today, she had completely messed up her schedule and felt like she was in a daze the whole day.
'I can't take it anymore. I'll go to bed first today. This time, I have to sleep until I'm full. I'll be releasing updates tomorrow. After all, I have to prepare the day after tomorrow!'
I just want to say, am I amazing? It only took five or six days to release the book. Even I feel scared.
This update speed makes me feel like I'm back to the time when I wrote Great Song!
