Chapter 276 Bullet production line?
The next day, Ji Guangshun returned home satisfied. This trip to send students back was a complete success.
The main thing was actually food. Gu Changfeng filled several large carts with it and also arranged a lot of wheelbarrows for the soldiers to push back.
Ji Guangshun didn't mind. He could earn 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of food for transporting students. If he had this job every day, he would be happy to death.
In fact, Gu Changfeng wanted to give weapons and ammunition, but unfortunately, the training of militia and new recruits would consume a lot of energy.
In addition, each camp also took away a lot of supplies, so the landlord had no ammunition left.
"Brother Gu, you have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army." Tang Renli said casually as he watched the team going away.
Gu Changfeng said: "We are all neighbors. We cooperated to fight the Japanese, so our relationship is naturally good."
After a drink yesterday, the two of them addressed each other more affectionately, calling each other "brother" and "big brother".
Tang Renli nodded and said, "Father has also been studying their theories recently, perhaps..."
He didn't say it clearly, but Gu Changfeng already understood what he meant.
He smiled and said, "Brother Tang, now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are united in fighting the Japanese invaders. We can talk about some things later."
Tang Renli was silent for a moment and said, "There are some things I don't quite understand, father. Let's talk about it later."
Gu Changfeng didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned around and saw that the students had already gathered, and said:
"Let's go. I'll take you on a tour of the base. I put a lot of thought into this base."
He had some ideas about the arrangements for the students, starting with the students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
It would be a waste to let them make bullets by hand, but there would definitely be no problem in making some simple cannons. By the way, the simplified version of Katyusha is also quite powerful, so maybe we can give it a try.
The next thing is to smelt iron by yourself. The special forces team discovered an open-pit iron mine in Taihang Mountains before, but Gu Changfeng didn’t take it seriously. But now he can use it.
No matter what is built, people must be put to good use. Even if he doesn't like it, he can still support the Eighth Route Army.
The second group is students from the Chemical Engineering Department. Gu Changfeng has a lot of finished products, so he allocated some for them to research.
If all else fails, something simple will do. He wouldn't mind making more explosives.
The third group is students graduating from the telecommunications department. In addition to teaching, they can also re-establish a monitoring department specifically responsible for deciphering the Japanese radio stations.
Gu Changfeng didn't have much else, but he had seized quite a few radios and code books. No matter how the Japanese changed their secrets, there was always a pattern.
At noon, the group successfully climbed up Xianya Ridge.
The feeling of overlooking the earth from the mountain made the students very excited.
The baby-faced girl who had been chattering all the way finally shut up and immersed herself in the beautiful scenery on the top of the cliff.
"Is this your base?" Tang Renli was slightly surprised.
He didn't know much about military affairs, so he didn't see the mystery in it. He just thought the terrain here was good.
Gu Changfeng said: "In fact, this is just the front fort. The area within dozens of kilometers behind is our base."
Tang Renli nodded slightly and said, "It's really good."
"Changfeng, it's noon. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first." Wan Cheng received a report from the soldiers and walked to Gu Changfeng and said.
"Brother Tang, let the students go eat first. I'll take you around the back this afternoon."
Gu Changfeng is the most idle person in the whole group, and his task today is to accompany this group of students.
After the meal, the students were confused. They had originally prepared themselves for a hard time, but they didn't expect that after arriving, they would only be served chicken and pork. This was definitely not consistent with the definition of a remote and poor area.
Tang Renli was quite surprised and asked Gu Changfeng: "Do you usually eat like this?"
"This is our usual meal. We bought some extra yesterday to entertain you." Gu Changfeng said truthfully.
"Isn't it said that this place is poor? Why?" Tang Renli asked the question in his heart.
He had learned from various sources that Hebei was not a wealthy area, and he reminded the students,
Gu Changfeng explained: "In fact, when we first arrived, we were a little poor, but later we seized some spoils from the Japanese and also obtained a lot of wealth from traitors."
"I don't have any way to buy weapons and ammunition, so I can only spend it on food. I still have more than one million silver dollars on my account."
Tang Renli: “…”
Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Tang, please ask Mr. Tang if there is any way to help me buy a few 6.5mm bullet production lines. I am in need of them."
This kind of high-precision production line does not have machine tools or anything, so it is impossible to expect students to make it by hand. It would be nice if they could buy it directly.
He has no shortage of weapons now, what he lacks mainly is ammunition.
Tang Renli pondered for a moment and nodded, "As long as we have the money, buying a production line shouldn't be a problem, but the price will probably be quite expensive."
"Do you know how much money I need to prepare?" Gu Changfeng looked at Tang Renli expectantly.
Tang Renli said, "Judging from the bullet production line we bought in China before, two to three million is enough."
"But your 6.5mm production line will probably cost a lot more."
"We now have two channels: one is to purchase from the Soviet Union, and the other is to purchase from the United States."
"And we have to open up various channels. The cost is estimated to be four million, or even five million."
Gu Changfeng was shocked. He really didn't expect the bullet production line to be so expensive. After thinking about it, he said:
"Then please, Brother Tang, please talk to Mr. Tang when you get back. I'll buy two first, and we'll see how to make the price more reasonable."
Tang Renli glanced at Gu Changfeng and frowned, "Don't you only have a little over one million silver dollars?"
"Hey, there are only a little over one million silver dollars, but I still have more than five million yen, and I have nowhere to spend it."
"If all else fails, I still have a lot of gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which can make up to tens of millions."
Gu Changfeng chuckled.
In Laiyuan alone, we collected more than 4 million Japanese yen. Adding the previous seizures, more than 5 million is not a small amount.
Tang Renli was speechless. Who said that Hebei was poor? Isn’t Gu Changfeng quite rich?
"Japanese yen can be used. How about this, give me a radio later so I can contact my father."
Tang Renli agreed, which was a good thing.
Since Gu Changfeng has this need, they naturally have to support him, not to mention that they are not the ones paying for it.
Gu Changfeng said, "Brother Tang, you can take the Japanese yen back first. I don't have anywhere to use it, so I'll use it as a deposit."
He had no burden at all to use the devil's money to buy a bullet production line.
By the way, shouldn’t we send the special forces out to get more Japanese yen so we can buy more weapons, production lines, etc.?
Hearing this, Tang Renli shook his head like a rattle and said, "I'll only have a few people with me when I go back. It's not safe to bring back millions of dollars. Let's talk about it later."
Gu Changfeng thought about it and said, "Then wait for the contact. If it doesn't work, I'll have my people send it over."
After things were settled, he took the students to continue the tour.
There are still many new recruits training in the mountains behind, and the students watching are eager to try.
Gu Changfeng did not spoil the fun and let the students do it themselves. The students were excited and practiced shooting with guns one by one.
Gu Changfeng ignored them and continued to introduce the base to Tang Renli.
In fact, Gu Changfeng also had selfish motives. With this contact with Tang Renli and Tang Shengzhi's strong support, the relationship between the two sides would definitely become closer.
Naturally, if he needs something in the future, it would be no problem to ask the Tang family to help buy it, or to ask the Tang family to support him with some talents.
