"Military Seat" Chen Jingguo and Tian Jianlong are fictional characters named Xue Kai.
However, when the September 18 Incident broke out, Fengtian Arsenal had information showing that it was already developing semi-automatic rifles, so I specifically mention them here.
After receiving the notice, the young man immediately came to see Jiang Li.
Fortunately, Chen Jingguo is the director of the future arsenal after all.
He is in charge of the future ordnance supply of the 45th Army.
His status will never be lower than that of any military officer below Jiang Li.
In comparison, he only has two weapons in hand at this time.
Tian Jianlong, who had only one tank available, settled in a shabby state.
Tian Jianlong was also very surprised by Jiang Li's summons.
In contrast, the other thin guy wearing black glasses has never been heard of, let alone seen.
"It's already dark.
It's a bit unkind to call you here now.
However, although our 45th Army has defeated the Ma Jiajun, the situation is still in a mess.
Time is running out.
I hope you won't treat you as if I were to take you."
The idea of a mule and horse envoy."
Jiang Li said with a smile and motioned for the three of them to sit down and talk.
"Major Tian, this is your new military rank, or from now on, you are a colonel."
Jiang Li handed Tian Jianlong a new shoulder patch from a small box.
"Thank you for the military promotion."
Tian Jianlong quickly stood up and gave Jiang Li a military salute.
The people who fought against Japan together in Fengtian have basically been promoted.
Tian Jianlong is still standing still.
He originally thought that the chips in his hands were getting smaller.
He had already been forgotten by Jiang Li, but he did not expect to be personally received by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li personally awarded him a title.
This kind of treatment was rare in the 45th Army.
"Sit down.
Compared with other brigade commanders.
With your merits, it would be nothing to give you the rank of major general, but you are a bare commander now.
It is somewhat outrageous for a major general to lead two tanks."
Jiang Li said.
"Don't say he is a major general, he is a colonel.
With just such a thing in his hand, it is somewhat unworthy of his name."
Tian Jianlong said with a wry smile.
"I have also thought about this.
The armored force will be the mainstream of the future army.
The 45th Army will fight the Japanese army.
It cannot do without its own armored force.
I have called you here with Factory Director Chen this time.
One is to reorganize the armor.
The first thing about the army is to implement the future production of tanks by the arsenal," Jiang Li said solemnly, "Captain Gao will also stay away.
Go to the West to purchase new aircraft.
When the time comes, go with him to find a Vickers company and purchase the Vickers tanks produced by them, but there is one requirement: you must obtain the production authorization from Vickers Company.
We will pay the freight as usual for delivery to the northwest.

After returning to China, the arsenal will set up a special tank production and research department."
Jiang Li said that the Vickers 6-ton tank was a very good design in the early 1930s.
The foundation of civil industry was too weak.
Fortunately, Jiang Li was able to take advantage of the time traveler to make the weapons research of the Republic of China less detours.
The 26 tank was developed after introducing the production license of Vicker tank and then improving its power.
The Vickers is better than the tanks currently developed by the Soviet Union.
The 1930s was still a time when light tanks were very popular, and the level of tanks and armored vehicles in various countries had not yet improved.
This was the time for Jiang Li to use this short period of less than ten years to catch up.
As long as the foundation is laid at this time, the Republic of China will not be able to develop tanks with outstanding performance on its own.
"Military seat, producing tanks is not a simple matter.
The arsenal has no experience in tank-related engines, tracks, etc."
Chen Jingguo reminded.
"I was just about to mention this to you.
I have already contacted the relationship in the United States.
Next year, the American company will help us build a car factory and a tractor factory in Lanzhou, which includes the engine manufacturing and production license.
On this basis, we will conduct research on tanks.”
Jiang Li responded to Chen Jingguo's question.
If he was given tools, Jiang Li could dismantle a tank and assemble it again.
He had done this before, and the tanks of the funeral were much more complicated than those of this era.
Naturally, Jiang Li would not dream of producing tanks in the northwest without making any preparations.
Hearing that Jiang Li intended to set up a factory in Lanzhou that could produce tanks, Tian Jianlong's face suddenly turned red with excitement, as if he had drunk alcohol.
It's an investment of several million, not including the money spent to buy Vickers tanks in the UK.
Who among the entire 45th Army has more say in the use of tanks than him?
It is foreseeable that he will be in charge of this tank unit from now on.
Thinking of the bright future, Tian Jianlong swept away the gloom on his face.
"By the way, the British standard Vickers machine gun is the 77, but we use the 79 machine gun, as well as the rifle.
In order to make the machine gun bullets on the tanks compatible with our bullets, please add a requirement when you place the order.
Go in."
Jiang Li added.
"I understand, I have asked Vickers Company to modify it and install a 79 machine gun."
Tian Jianlong nodded quickly, and his understanding of Jiang Li deepened.
The military seat in front of him is not the kind of master who decides with a slap on the forehead. .
"After you come back, we will set up a special tank teaching brigade.
Regarding tanks, I can only explain so much for the time being.
You have to explore for yourself and pay attention to the exploration of tanks and their use in future wars.
Let’s take a look at how far our international counterparts have developed.
We are lagging behind, let alone cannot be like them.
The previous Qing government worked behind closed doors and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window.
Now that we have just arrived in the northwest, you still have some time to pull up the armored forces.
I have squeezed out such a large amount of funds from tight military expenditures, and I will send you to the end in the future.
You will be going on a dangerous battlefield, so you must be mentally prepared for this," Jiang Li reminded.
"If you die in the war of resistance, you will die a worthy death.
A humble position will definitely fulfill your mission," Tian Jianlong said solemnly.
"The other thing is the arrangements at the arsenal."
Jiang Li looked at Xue Kai, who had a short beard under his nose, and asked with interest, "You were the one who suggested the design of a ten-round, self-loading rifle."

"Yes, it is the humbleness and superficial views that made the military commander laugh."
Xue Kai said with some fear.
"This is not a superficial opinion.
Once this kind of rifle is designed, it will be a very remarkable design, and it will be enough to cause a revolution in the history of rifles.
Director Chen, later asked Xue Kai to set up a special semi-automatic rifle research The funds needed by the institute and the equipment needed in daily life will be given priority to be supplied and purchased.”
Jiang Li originally wanted to use his knowledge of firearms to give Xue Kai some advice.
Although he didn't know much about some specific events in history, he was proficient in firearms and the development of weapons.
However, when I think that these people in front of me show too much knowledge of weapons, they are a bit too versatile.
It is better to wait for the opportunity later to send a private message to remind Xue Kai through people, which will surely make the semi-automatic rifles of the Republic of China come out in advance
