Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

The mountain cat covered the bleeding wound and looked at Xie Baoqing in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

"Brother, what do you mean? You believe this Kuomintang spy who is full of shit, but you don't believe me."

"Second brother, shut up!"

"Brother Chen Yan, I believe in your sincerity in surrendering, but the three things you mentioned are not easy to accomplish."

"How do you make me believe you can do it?"

Xie Baoqing stared at Chen Yan's face, but could not find any flaws on his extremely relaxed expression.

"Thank you, Boss. These three things may be difficult for others, but they are very easy for me."

"I forgot to introduce myself to you. I graduated from the 14th class of Whampoa Military Academy. Firearms, gunpowder, intelligence and tactics are child's play for me."

"It is no problem to train the brothers in the mountain village into a vanguard force."

Xie Baoqing was overjoyed, "Brother, you actually graduated from a military academy?"

"I'm so sorry, but with you, I, Xie, am like a tiger with wings."

"Boss, when I entered the village just now, I saw a pile of things in the corner of the yard. Can you take me there to have a look?"

When I passed by just now, I smelled the smell of putty, and it was covered with tarpaulin, so it was probably industrial equipment.

However, in this era, such things are extremely expensive.

Could Xie Baoqing, this old man, get something like this?

Chen Yan was a little unconvinced.

But if that thing is really industrial equipment, as a top student majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, as long as I fix it, I will be able to get whatever I want in Heiyun Village.

By then, you, Bobcat, a peasant who can't even reach the level of kindergarten, want to go against me, huh!

I will teach you what dimensionality reduction attack is later. Thinking with your butt is faster than using your brain.

Chen Yan was enjoying himself, glancing at the mountain cat that was grimacing in pain out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Brother Chen, to be honest, three years ago, Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal transported a batch of military equipment to Suiyuan. I took my brothers to rob the transport team, but I didn't expect it to be just a pile of scrap copper and iron. It has been left there since we arrived at the mountain village."

Later, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent security groups to suppress us twice, but we fought back both times and the matter was left unresolved.

Equipment of the Jinsui Army?

If it were a gun production line, it would be very profitable.

Chen Yan couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Thank you, Boss, can you take me to have a look?"

What's so good about a pile of junk?

Although Xie Baoqing was a little confused, he still led everyone to the yard.

When the bandits lifted the canvas, Chen Yan climbed up and down and looked for a long time, and finally found the nameplate in a corner.

It clearly says on it: Jin Taiyuan Arsenal 7.92x57J round-nosed rifle bullet production line.

Oh shit, this is actually a Hanyang rifle ammunition production line. I’m going to make a fortune this time.

There is one three-section vertical boiler, one 1-horsepower steam engine, and 1 machine tools including turning, milling, planing, and drilling.

Oh my god, this is incredible, this is actually a complete production line.

Chen Yan's heart was pounding and his blood pressure had soared to 220.

Looking at Chen Yan with a red face and thick neck, Li San said to himself, "It's over, it's over, this time it's really Barbie Q."

The mountain cat laughed at the side: "You act like you know everything, but you can only act like a fool."

"Brother, he is just a gigolo who eats and drinks for free. You told me to kill him."

As he was about to draw his gun, Xie Baoqing stopped him.

Xie Baoqing also looked anxious, "Brother, do you understand what this is?"

After calming down, Chen Yan looked at the mountain cat and then at Xie Baoqing.

"Boss, these things are called junk now, but if they are assembled together, they will become a Hanyang-made bullet production line."

"What? Brother, you said this pile of junk can be used to make bullets, are you sure?"

"One hundred percent sure."

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound spread to every corner of the village.

The mountain cat covered his red and swollen face and stared at Xie Baoqing.

"You're a piece of trash. When I asked you to find out what this thing was, you insisted that you had seen it and that it was made of military uniforms."

"At the time, I wondered, does it take so many things to make clothes?"

"You've been fiddling with it for a long time but you still can't figure it out, and you're just using it to hang clothes."

"You are a guy who is incapable of doing anything and always causes trouble. Get away from me. I get angry just by looking at you."

The mountain cat showed resentful little eyes and looked at him pitifully.

Xie Baoqing, who was furious just now, turned around and looked at Chen Yan with a smile.

"Brother Chen, can this big guy make a sound?"

"If we can produce bullets ourselves in the future, I will dare to attack Ping'an County."

This old guy is really good at bragging. With only three to five hundred people, you dare to attack Ping'an County. Do you think you are Li Yunlong?

However, if the bullet line can be restored to production, it will be of great benefit to Chen Yan in establishing his own armed forces in the future.

There is no major problem with this production line, it is just a little rusty.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked at the mountain cat with a sly smile.

"Boss, there are still some problems."

"Maybe the second in command always uses it to hang clothes, so the equipment has gotten a little wet and needs to be repaired for a while."

Xie Baoqing turned around and looked at Bobcat with his eyes wide open, his right hand trembling slightly.

The mountain cat also became alert, "Brother, don't..."

"Pah", another slap.

This time, the bobcat's face became symmetrical and swollen like a pig's head, like a divorced young wife, running away in grievance.

"Boss Xie, give me two days and I promise to make this machine to make bullets for you."

"Okay, brother, I feel relieved when you say that."

"I will arrange 20 brothers for you, and they will follow you from now on. As long as you repair this machine, you will be the third in command of the copycat."

People feel refreshed when they are happy, and at this moment Xie Baoqing looks radiant.

In the next two days, Chen Yan, together with the bandits arranged by Li San and Xie Baoqing, started the equipment installation and debugging work.

"What? Big Brother is planning to make him the third in command of the cottage. Are you sure?"

"Second brother, I heard it clearly, there is absolutely no mistake."

At this time, a little bandit was nodding and bowing to Shanmao, reporting the situation on Chen Yan's side.

"MD, this old dog Xie Baoqing is really blind to believe him."

"Since you are cruel to me, don't blame me for being unfair to you."

Then, the mountain cat whispered something to the little bandit.

By the evening of the next day, the equipment was basically installed. Chen Yan led his team to debug it repeatedly to ensure that the parameters were correct and the product was qualified.

A bandit named Gou Wa has been following Chen Yan for the past two days and gradually became familiar with him.

"Boss Chen, you are so awesome. You can cure such a big fellow. You are really capable."

"I heard that you attended military school and fought against the Japanese? How many did you kill?"

"That's a lot."

Chen Yan felt a little guilty. Apart from the fact that he had killed a Japanese soldier two days ago, the original owner had gone to the General Affairs Department after graduation and had been eating and drinking for free every day.

Chen Yan smiled as he looked at Gou Wa, whose eyes had a clear look.

It turns out that not all bandits are evil people who kill people without mercy.

"Gou Wa, why do you become a bandit? How old are you?"

"I am 16 years old this year. I entered the village when I was 14. All my family members were killed by the Japanese invaders. Only my sister is left..."

Gou Wa's voice was a little choked, and Chen Yan touched his head to comfort him.

"My sister was favored by the second in command and was taken to the mountain village to be his concubine. She died of illness last year."

"Then you are the brother-in-law of the second in command. He should be able to take good care of you, which is also good."

"Lynx Cat is a bastard. After he had enough fun with my sister, he threw her to his bandits. My sister contracted syphilis and died."

Gou Wa's eyes were as cold as a knife, which made Chen Yan feel a little scared.

Children raised by bandits are so murderous.

However, seeing that Gou Wa was so young and his relatives had died one after another, Chen Yan felt a little pity for him.

"Are you willing to fight the Japanese with me in the future and avenge your family?"

Gou Wa’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Really?”

"Every word I say is a nail. This time I'm ready to fight the Japs with great fanfare."

"The Japanese also killed my family. They owe me 3500 million lives."

Chen Yan murmured to himself, tears welling up in his eyes!

Gou Wa didn’t hear clearly what he said, he just stood there quietly, gazing at the distant starry sky with Chen Yan.
