Yang Zhen Xiaoxiao didn't care about the commander-in-chief who had been kept indifferent, and opened the box by himself. When the box was opened, he looked at the strange appearance inside, and saw two submachine guns with different appearances, both in appearance and in structure, which made Yang Zhen smiled happily. Yang Zhen reached out and took out both submachine guns in the box, pulled the bolt a few times and then pulled the trigger.

Listening to the crisp movement of the bolt sliding down, Yang Zhen couldn't put it down and looked at the two new submachine guns in his hand that had just been produced but had different styles. He rubbed the extremely smooth and grinded blue and said happily: "I really didn't expect it to be produced so soon?"

Although the two submachine guns produced by his arsenal were changed from the original design, Yang Zhen recognized at a glance that they were two of the two copycat weapons that he handed to the arsenal through his memories. They were also the two submachine guns with the simplest structure and easiest production during World War II.

One is the British nine-mm Sden submachine gun, and the other is the Soviet ppsh type 43 submachine gun. These two submachine guns are simple in structure and can be produced in many family workshops. Now that Yang Zhen has a complete set of production equipment and urgently needs a large number of submachine guns, he naturally remembers these two weapons.

Although these two weapons had long been eliminated when Yang Zhen joined the army in later generations, in some countries where wars were frequent, these two weapons still had a small amount of inventory. When Yang Zhen participated in anti-terrorism operations in later generations, he seized these two submachine guns from a neighboring country in western China.

However, except for the small number of ppsh 43 submachine guns that the Soviet Union helped the Soviet Union when it supported the pro-Soviet regime, most of the two submachine guns were not native to Britain and the Soviet Union. One is the Type 54 submachine gun that was secretly aided to the people of the country in an armed manner to resist the invaders.

One is produced by a tribal workshop in the southern neighboring country of the country that is famous for producing firearms and is the same as some ethnic groups in the country. Of course, with the AK47 circulating in large quantities in the country, almost all producing countries can find these two types of antique weapons, the number of these two types of antique weapons is very rare.

However, it is thanks to the saying that existence is the truth. These two weapons are simple to produce and almost no need for deliberate maintenance. There is still a market for this country. Not only are these two weapons, but they are older weapons, which can be seen in the country that has fought for decades.

For these two types of antique guns, it is no wonder that Yang Zhen had seen the older British-made Enfield and the Soviet-made Mosinna were used to deal with these two manual rifles, as well as a large number of various weapons from World War II. The war-ridden country can almost be called a gun museum.

I have long been eliminated in later generations and can only be seen in museums, and there are almost everything there. Especially various Soviet weapons with simple production and durability, from the oldest manual rifles to the latest AK Seventy-four automatic rifles. There are even various German weapons seized by the Soviet army in World War II. From the early Soviet DP light machine guns to the German MP40 submachine guns, they can be seen and even used.

Of course, these weapons were already old antiques that were eliminated in later generations. Except for those local warlords who were hungry for weapons and would always kill people as long as they could open fire and kill people, no country could also be equipped. Of course, except for the arrogant country in southwest China, where large pieces of cloth were wrapped around their heads were used as steel helmets.

However, for the era where he is currently in a time when manual rifles are mainly used, only a few semi-automatic rifles developed by a few countries are not yet practical, they are still advanced equipment.

Yang Zhen was extremely fond of the two antiques seized. If the state had not stipulated that the private individuals were not allowed to hide firearms, Yang Zhen really wanted to collect the captured ppsh1 submachine guns together. However, before handing over, Yang Zhen had been fiddling for a while. According to his mastery of weapons, there was no problem in copying the drawings.

If it were not for the ppsh 43 submachine guns, which were of the same ppsh 41 submachine gun, the ppsh 43 submachine gun paid more attention to the simplicity of production and the low cost, and mainly improved the shortcomings of the latter. Moreover, the magazine production used is simpler than the drums used by the latter, and the weight is more suitable for Chinese people. Yang Zhen would not hesitate to choose the latter equipped with 71 round drums.

The commander-in-chief looked at Yang Zhen, who was looking at the two submachine guns with his hands and smiled: "The two submachine guns you designed are too simple to produce. The equipment in our hands can be produced quickly. Apart from the lack of raw materials and the temporary inability to produce in large quantities, there is no technical problem."

"I really don't know how your head grows? Not only can you fight, but you can design such a simple structure, but your power is no smaller than those flower machine guns imported from Belgium and Germany, but the structure is much simpler. Before coming to the Northeast, I also stayed in many troops and saw a variety of flower machine guns. The Yunnan Army, who I stayed in in my early years, was equipped with a large number of purchased or homemade flower machine guns."

"But whether it is weapons imported from Europe and the United States, or domestic armed forces set up factories to produce them, it is so simple and easy to produce weapons. I thought it was easy to use machine guns to make them simple enough, but I didn't expect you to shoot simpler weapons."

After saying that, the commander-in-chief picked up one of the magazines and inserted it on the side of the gun and said, "This Japanese Southern pistol bullet is used. We didn't have a single shot of the nine-mm pistol bullet you asked for, and the number of Browning pistol bullets was not large. After considering the source of the ammunition, because the number of Japanese Southern pistol bullets in stock was very large, we changed to eight-mm southern pistol bullets."

"However, given that the southern pistol bullets have great lethality but weak penetration. In order to ensure the power of the ammunition, we have improved the ammunition to be issued. Although the caliber has not changed, the power is much larger than the original southern pistol bullets. After all, it is much simpler to re-production on the finished product. However, in order to fire southern pistol bullets, the submachine gun you designed has made certain modifications based on the type of ammunition."

Put down the submachine gun in his hand, and the commander-in-chief picked up another submachine gun with magazine under the gun. That is, the ppsh type 43 submachine gun said: "This kind of submachine gun uses Mauser 7.63 caliber pistol bullets used by the fast and slow machine. Our stock of this kind of bullet is still large, and it should be enough to use it for a while. Moreover, as long as this kind of bullet can be recycled on the battlefield, we can reinstall it."

"But because we lack steel, we are now in the forest area, and the most lacking is wood. So after the military industry asked me for advice, in order to save us the raw materials we had not had, we changed the metal stock you originally designed to be wood. However, due to the promotion of time, we directly adopted the modified stock of the Type 38 rifle of these two guns."

Regarding the introduction of the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen nodded. The arsenal had just begun production, and although the seized raw materials stock was quite large, most of them were prepared for the production of Japanese military standard weapons. As for ammunition of other calibers, it was still impossible to produce. It was a good idea to use the original inventory of a large amount of southern eight-mm pistol ammunition to improve it as ammunition.

After Yang Zhen handed the two submachine guns in his hand to Guo Bingxun on the side, he picked up several grenades in the box and took a look. This grenade was transformed using the Japanese Type 97 grenade that the troops are now widely used. Using the bullet body of the Japanese Type 97 grenade, a wooden handle was installed, and it was changed to fire-pulling.

However, this modified grenade is not like the type 67 grenade that I copied later generations. It is not installed on the upper side of the bullet body, and is not used for throwing, but just to accommodate the pull-out fuse.

However, after improvement, it is always better than the original 97 grenade than the original one before use. It has to be hard on a hard object. After throwing it out, I don’t know when it will explode.

Looking at the improved grenade in his hand, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He just said that the army was not skilled in the Type 97 grenade using impact fuses, causing a lot of casualties. The commander-in-chief immediately solved this problem for himself.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was so fond of the submachine gun produced and the modified grenades, the commander-in-chief smiled, waved his hand to open another wooden box, and took out a Taisho 11th-style light machine gun from it, but there was a magazine used by the Type 96 light machine gun from the side.

The commander-in-chief pointed to the light machine gun in front of him and said: "There are many wax machine guns in our army, and the number of wax machine guns improved by the Japanese army is not many. The wax machine gun is used for the bucket-type gun supply method. Once the entire gun is damaged, it loses its ability to use. The arsenal then uses some modifications to the wax machine gun based on the seized wax machine gun."

"This kind of transformation is not complicated, and our factory can complete it in a short time. After a lot of experiments, the reliability of this modified light machine gun has been greatly increased, and the complexity of its use has also been reduced a lot. At least the soldiers no longer need to interrupt firepower due to unskilled bullets. At that time, they only need to replace the magazine. It is very suitable for the situation where there are too many new recruits in our troops."

After hearing the introduction of the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment: "Commander-in-chief, how is the production of submachine guns? How many units have been produced now? How long can it take to fully meet the needs of the army's equipment?"

"This kind of light machine gun is too transformed. How long does it take to transform a piece of light machine gun? Can the production quantity of magazines keep up? Do you know that a light machine gun must be equipped with at least three magazines. What is the number and progress of grenade transformation? Can it meet the use of the troops?"

Regarding Yang Zhen's inquiry, the commander-in-chief shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are too anxious. Our arsenal has just started production, and the number of qualified workers is seriously insufficient. The number of raw materials is not enough. Even if these two weapons are simple in structure and easy to produce. Due to the limitation of insufficient raw materials and manpower, now we can only produce more than twenty of these submachine guns a day. However, the transformation speed of eight-mm ammunition and grenades is still very fast. After all, the reserves of these two materials are still sufficient."

"As for the transformation of the wicked machine gun, the average one can only be transformed from two to three bolts a day, and the progress is pretty good. However, the production speed of magazines is because we adopt the overall stamping process. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, we can produce more than twenty per day on average."

"You don't know, right? Under the guidance of several masters, the workers of the arsenal used the cement here to build a simple embankment on a mountain river next to the arsenal. They used the disassembled car engine and the turbines they cast themselves to modify two small hydropower generators. In the future, as long as the river does not freeze, we can save a lot of gasoline for power generation."

"Although we have a lot of bullet-launched medicine in stock, we lack qualified gun steel. Most of the military raw materials here are semi-finished products that have been formed. There are not many raw materials, and the simple gun steel is only a few hundred tons. It cannot meet the needs of large-scale production at all."

"However, the masters from the former 11th Army arsenal in the arsenal said that the rail steel used by the railway could be transformed. The large number of rails brought back by Liu Changshun this time played a considerable role in alleviating the shortage of raw materials. With this batch of raw materials, the progress of the production of this new submachine gun can be greatly strengthened. I think it will be able to meet the current needs of the troops in one or two months."

Speaking of this, the commander-in-chief took out the other two drawings that Yang Zhen gave to the arsenal and said: "To be honest, we can't produce the weapons on these two drawings for the time being. Although the structure is equally simple, the production process is much higher than these two submachine guns."

"First of all, we don't have the bullets of this caliber that you require on the drawings. Even if we use the daily 77-caliber heavy machine gun bullets, it is at least a bit difficult now. It is almost equivalent to re-production. The receiver uses the overall steel stamping process, which we can manufacture now."

"But a qualified barrel cannot be made. Although we have chrome plating equipment, there are not many chrome plating raw materials in stock. Moreover, the chrome plating process is relatively cumbersome, so we can only ensure the production of submachine guns. According to those military masters, we are unable to meet the needs of this kind of chrome."

"We have used the Type 92 heavy machine gun barrel to transform one. We have used a small number of improved 77 bullets to experiment. Its fire rate is excellent, and the accuracy of the point shooting is almost no worse than that of the wavy light machine gun. But we can't change all the stock of Type 92 heavy machine gun barrels to produce this kind of weapon, right? For us with poor firepower, heavy machine guns are still an extremely important support weapon."

"We have also tried to make one with other materials, but after only a few hundred rounds of bullets, the barrel turned red and overheated. When more than a thousand rounds of bullets were fired, the barrel was transformed and scrapped. The fire rate of this weapon was too fast and the process required for the production of the barrel was high. Even if it was modified with the barrel of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, it could only fire a few thousand rounds, and the barrel was scrapped. We only had a small amount of chromium on hand, and unless all submachine guns were stopped, the production of this weapon could not be guaranteed."

"However, several workers said that this kind of weapon is simple to produce and durable. As long as there are qualified raw materials, it can be produced in large quantities in a short time. It is just that using Japanese 77-caliber bullets is not very suitable. But this is not a problem. Just make a little change in some parts."

"As for this anti-tank rocket launcher, we at least do not have this condition to produce it. First of all, we do not have the high-strength alloy steel used to manufacture the launcher, and we have no way to manufacture it now. We do not have steelmaking equipment and no steelmaking talents."

"Although we can produce the elastic body, wind hood, and elastic bottom cover, we lack the required thin steel plate. We cannot produce this copper drug-type cone with a cone angle of 70°. We cannot produce this mechanical inertial ignition fuse and elastic steel tail wing. Not to mention other accessories such as hollow charges. Deputy Commander Yang, at least this weapon, except for the black gunpowder used as launching drugs, will not be able to produce the rest for at least a short time."

After saying that, the commander-in-chief hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Deputy Commander-in-chief Yang, I think we should not produce these two weapons for the time being. We should focus on producing urgently needed submachine guns, transforming crooked machine guns, and reloading bullets. As for the others, we should wait until the conditions are available in the future."

"Especially, this new automatic rifle is good, but the firing rate is too fast and the consumption of bullets is too strong. A gun like this consumes ammunition almost more than the Japanese light and heavy machine gun we use. Judging from the fact that we can only use captured Japanese raw materials to produce bullets, once we are equipped with a large amount of equipment, the production capacity of our arsenal will not be able to meet the needs at all."

The two weapons of the commander-in-chief are the two weapons of the later famous AK47 rifle and RPG2 anti-tank bazooka handed over to the arsenal by Yang Zhen. These two weapons were originally intended to trade with the big brother in the north, but they just did not produce some samples, and in the end they still lacked favorable evidence to convince others.

After hearing the commander-in-chief's words, Yang Zhen did not rush to answer him. Instead, he fell silent. His face was so bright and dark that he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Seeing Yang Zhen listening to the advice of Commander-in-Chief, he fell silent. Li Yanping, who thought Yang Zhen had some ideas, took over the topic and said, "Commander, our arsenal can produce the weapons needed so quickly, which is inseparable from the attention of Commander-in-Chief. The arsenal's production is always under the commander-in-Chief's personal control. Our strength is limited, and all the raw materials are short of except for some Japanese weapons. It is already the greatest effort to achieve this at the moment."

Hearing Li Yanping's persuasion, Yang Zhen knew that he had misunderstood, so he smiled and said, "Political Commissar, you misunderstood me. I don't have any opinions about the commander-in-chief. I'm just thinking about some questions. Commander-in-chief, political commissar, you see, we cannot produce these two weapons for the time being, but it does not mean that someone can't produce them."

As soon as Yang Zhen said this, Commander-in-Chief, Li Yanping, including Guo Bingxun, immediately realized that some of the people he was referring to were those people. They knew very well that Yang Zhen could not hand over these weapon drawings to the Japanese. He was trapped behind enemy lines and was a manchu surrounded by enemies. He could not hand over these drawings to others. This person could only be the big brother in the north.

It was just that I couldn't figure out Yang Zhen's true intentions, and the few people did not make random guesses. They just looked at Yang Zhen with anticipation. I hope this guy won't be so hesitant and tell his thoughts as soon as possible.
