Chapter 87: Old Kong Hits The Jackpot
Facing Li Yunlong’s excited look, the Brigade Commander turned his head and said to Cheng Xiazi and Regiment Commander Xu, “Look at Li Yunlong’s confidence. He dares to go rob the Hell Cannon from the Division Commander. Now look at you two keeping silent. Do you still have the face to take on the main attack mission?”
Cheng Xiazi couldn’t help asking the Brigade Commander, “Brigade Commander, aren’t you afraid that Li Yunlong will really anger the Division Commander?”
“If you have the ability, go anger him and try it!” The Brigade Commander glared at Cheng Xiazi.
“I wouldn’t dare, how could I dare.” Cheng Xiazi shrank his neck hard and shut up.
I wouldn’t act as ignorant of the world as Li Yunlong. That’s the Division Commander!
“Regiment Commander Xu, what about you?” With Cheng Xiazi completely silenced, the Brigade Commander looked at Regiment Commander Xu of the 771st Regiment.
“Brigade Commander, I obey the arrangements.” Regiment Commander Xu wisely stopped arguing.
With these two Regiment Commanders no longer making a fuss, the Brigade Commander’s subsequent meeting went very smoothly.
First make combat preparations, wait for the cannonball supply from the Arsenal, and finally wait for the combat orders from the Brigade Commander.
After the meeting adjourned, the Brigade Commander returned Li Yunlong’s Hell Cannon to him. Of course, he also assigned the Hell Cannon in his hand to Ding Wei.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiazi and Regiment Commander Xu’s faces both turned green.
Li Yunlong laughed, “You two, my apologies. I originally wanted to joke with you two, but I didn’t expect the joke to come true. You two shouldn’t lose heart. The Brigade Commander said that if you can grab the Hell Cannon from the Division Commander by your own ability, it’s yours. The Brigade Commander absolutely won’t covet it.”
Ding Wei added from the side, “You two Regiment Commanders, the Brigade Commander said that you two main regiments must cooperate with our two garrison regiments. I hope you won’t drop the ball when the time comes.”
“Don’t worry, we definitely won’t drop the ball.” Cheng Xiazi and Regiment Commander Xu hung their heads low, unwilling to stay here and watch Li Yunlong and Ding Wei show off, and left dejectedly.
Originally, they thought they could covet Li Yunlong’s Hell Cannon.
In the end, they didn’t get Li Yunlong’s Hell Cannon, and instead got laughed at by these bastards raised by stepmothers. They really lost face!
“Haha, Regiment Commander Cheng, Regiment Commander Xu, don’t leave in such a hurry. Before, you were always chasing me to show off. Now why aren’t you showing off? Where’s the pride of your main regiment? Where’s the face of the main regiment? Hahaha, Cheng Xiazi, don’t pretend to be deaf.” Li Yunlong chased after them laughing twice and returned satisfied.
Refreshing!
Always being outshone by these bastards raised by real mothers, I was made an example by the Brigade Commander to criticize and learn more from them.
Now it’s finally my turn to feel invigorated, watching them eat their words, hahahaha.
Ding Wei grinned and touched the Hell Cannon barrel, then came up to Li Yunlong: “Old Li, you’re not really planning to go after the Hell Cannon in the Division Commander’s hands, are you? Even our Brigade Commander doesn’t dare to mess with it.”
“Old Ding, look at how you put it.” Old Li said seriously, “You and I both have Hell Cannons now. Kong Er Lengzi is the only one without. Don’t I need to find a way to equip Kong Er Lengzi with a Hell Cannon too? With us three brothers all having Hell Cannons, we can join forces to kill the Japanese invaders together. That would be so refreshing.”
“The Brigade Commander said that if you really grab the Hell Cannon from the Division Commander, it’s yours. Would you give it to Old Kong?” Ding Wei questioned.
Not to mention whether you, Li Yunlong, can grab it, would you really give away such a precious hard weapon like the Hell Cannon?
“Of course, I definitely would.” Li Yunlong said seriously, “Among us three brothers, Old Kong’s brain isn’t the sharpest. I’m really worried he’ll get stuck coal mining for the Arsenal and delay himself.”
Li Yunlong thought to himself: I want to keep it too, but if I really end up with two Hell Cannons, wouldn’t the Brigade Commander covet them?
After all, the Brigade Commander gave the Hell Cannon in his hand to you, Old Ding, so now the Brigade Commander has none.
Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of them coveting.
So, it’s better to give it to Kong Er Lengzi.
“Heh.” Ding Wei chuckled and said, “I have a feeling that Kong Er Lengzi won’t be delayed by coal mining.”
As the ancient saying goes: Great wisdom appears foolish!
Maybe it’s describing people like Kong Jie.
Don’t look at how hard coal mining is for him. It seems hopeless on the surface, but actually it’s relying on the Arsenal.
If he gets on good terms with Li Muzhi, who knows what great fortune Old Kong might have.
“Hopefully.”
……
Border Region Arsenal
“Factory Director Li, we’ve familiarized ourselves with the internal structure diagram of the locomotive and copied it to the technicians below. Once they’re familiar, they can go with the combat troops to disassemble the Japanese locomotive.”
Several senior technical backbones from the Huangyadong Arsenal came to report to Li Muzhi.
Why use the word “report”?
Because in addition to familiarizing themselves with the locomotive internal structure diagram, they also toured the Arsenal’s Hell Cannon production and cannonball production.
They increasingly felt that this young man in front of them was remarkable.
These senior technical backbone personnel all knew that Li Muzhi would inevitably become China’s top military industry leader in the future, and they would all be under his command.
Of course, being able to do military industry with such a genius is also a great honor.
As for the technicians below, some are from the Huangyadong Arsenal, some from other arsenals.
In short, these senior technical backbones from the Huangyadong Arsenal are responsible for absorbing from Li Muzhi and then copying it down.
“We still need to spot check and assess the technicians below. There can’t be the slightest error.” Li Muzhi nodded.
The senior technical backbones in front of him are all precious military industry talents.
They won’t participate in the military task of disassembling locomotives either.
Instead, let the people below go.
“Yes, Factory Director Li.” The several senior technical backbones from the Huangyadong Arsenal nodded.
Li Muzhi took out several other diagrams and said, “This is the structure diagram of the Japanese train carriage. Let’s familiarize ourselves with it.”
If the locomotive is to be disassembled, the train carriage definitely can’t be overlooked and must be disassembled too.
Especially the steel pillars under the train carriage, which can be used for cannon barrels.
Although we don’t have the ability to make cannon barrels yet.
But no problem, stockpile the steel pillars first. Once military industry strength improves, it will come naturally.
“Good.” The several senior technical backbones from the Huangyadong Arsenal all nodded.
The train carriage structure is much simpler than the locomotive. It didn’t take long for the several senior technical backbones to mostly familiarize themselves.
“Copy it to the technicians below.” Li Muzhi instructed.
“Yes, Factory Director Li.” These people took the diagrams and left.
Li Muzhi went to the workshop for tool modification. Here, skilled workers were working overtime to modify tools according to Li Muzhi’s requirements.
Wrenches, screwdrivers, crowbars, hammers, and so on.
Seeing Li Muzhi arrive, these skilled workers quickly stopped and looked at him respectfully: “Factory Director.”
“Everyone’s working hard. Continue.”
“Yes, Factory Director.”
Li Muzhi inspected here, then headed to the Hell Cannon shell production workshop.
