Chapter 15 Lao Yu, what is a chicken bed?
"Old Yu, look, I got you the chicken bed you wanted." Li Yunlong shouted loudly and asked two soldiers to carry a wooden frame and walk in front of Yu Ye.
"What the hell?" Yu Ye was confused and couldn't understand why Li Yunlong wanted to carry a wooden rack covered with chicken shit for him.
"Isn't this the chicken bed you want?" Li Yunlong was very confused.
"What the hell?"
"Chicken bed!"
"What I want is a machine tool, a tool for producing machinery, not a bed for a hen to sleep on." When Yu Ye understood what Li Yunlong meant, he almost went berserk.
Yu Ye himself did not expect that such a big mistake would occur.
"Old Li, if I could do metal processing, I could make a machine that could cut a steel pipe into a gun barrel." Yu Ye sighed, opened his mouth to say something but finally held back.
After all, Lao Li has good intentions.
"Old Yu, I want to ask you, where can I find the machine tool for processing guns and cannons?" Li Yunlong scratched his head.
He had already seen Yu Ye's abilities and knew that if he could give Yu Ye the right tools, he would be able to create even greater miracles, so he was very concerned about this machine tool.
"Speaking of machine tools, there are several forces active in northwest Shanxi, including us, the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek's transport team, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
I can analyze the current situation for you."
"Old Yu, go ahead." When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes widened like bells, afraid of missing any details.
This is a matter related to the improvement of the firepower of the entire independent regiment, how can we let it go?
"Let's talk about the Japanese first. The Japanese have taken over the No. 1 military factory in Asia left by the Northeastern Young Marshal. Their daily logistics supply is centralized in production. In addition, the Japanese have various weapons produced locally, so they currently do not have a proper arsenal in Shanxi Province."
"Let's look at Chiang Kai-shek's transport team. They are now equipped with German and American weapons, which are directly purchased from abroad. Even the weapons produced in our country are very rare. Even if there are some arsenals, they are in the southwest rear area."
"We do have our own arsenal in Shanxi Province. If I'm not mistaken, there should be more than one." Yu Ye almost blurted out the name of the Huangyadong Arsenal.
At this point in time, this is top secret. If Yu Ye says it, it will be a big deal.
"Without the devils and the transport captain, we can't deal with our own. Then there is only one target, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"
"Yan Laoxier?"
"Yes, although his life was miserable after the Battle of Xinkou, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. His Taiyuan Arsenal was known as one of the three largest arsenals in China along with the Hanyang Arsenal and the Northeast Arsenal.
There are thousands of machines of various kinds alone, which can produce submachine guns and various heavy machine guns. The annual output of ordinary rifles is about 8.
The Taiyuan Arsenal made some improvements based on the imitation of the Japanese Type 400 rifle. The range of the Type rifle produced by the Japanese themselves was only meters, while the range of the product imitated by the Taiyuan Arsenal could reach more than meters.
We can’t underestimate them.” Yu Ye explained.
hiss.
Li Yunlong had no knowledge of this aspect before, and even looked down on them because of some disagreements. However, he did not expect that Yan Laoxier had so many treasures in his hands.
After listening to Yu Ye's explanation, Li Yunlong frowned. He now basically understood the importance of machine tools to military manufacturing, but where could he get these things?
You can't just rob Yan Laoxier's things, right?
Ok?
Li Yunlong suddenly asked himself in his heart, why can't I rob Yan Laoxier?
Eh?
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong's thoughts suddenly became clear.
"Old Yu, just tell me, where exactly is the machine tool you mentioned? Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I, Old Li, will get it back." Old Li patted his chest and said simply.
When it comes to getting benefits for the independent regiment, Li Yunlong has always been unwilling to lag behind others.
"Well, this matter is a bit difficult to handle. Since the fall of Jin, there are still 105 of the 7 county towns under the control of Lao Xier, and his Taiyuan Arsenal was also dismantled before the Japanese invaders came in.
I estimate that 60% of the machines still in his hands have been taken across the Yellow River by him.
In addition, I estimate that about 40% is in the hands of the devils." Yu Ye analyzed.
In fact, in history, after the Taiyuan Arsenal fell into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese pulled more than 39 machines back to their homeland in two batches in 3600, which was a huge loss for China.
hiss.
Li Yunlong had a toothache. Once this thing crossed the Yellow River, it was no longer something that Old Li could control.
"Old Li, I have an idea. We can ask the comrades in the intelligence department to see if the Japanese have any machinery to transfer, or if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has any machinery to transfer. We can definitely do some operations on it." Yu Ye said.
At the same time, fearing that Li Yunlong might have some concerns, Yu Ye explained: "There is no need to talk about the Japs, we just robbed them. As for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, we can use our brains to make them 'lose'..."
Before Yu Ye finished speaking, Li Yunlong said directly: "There are too many bandits in our northwest Shanxi area. Occasionally, some bandits are interested in stealing some machine tools instead of ammunition and food."
Damn it?
When Yu Ye heard Li Yunlong's words, he was stunned.
It's you, Old Li, who's really good at playing. I was just thinking of using my superpowers or mobilizing some people with special abilities to help me get the things back, but you just used force.
He really is the one who did such a terrible thing as letting his soldiers rob food!
After leaving Yu Ye, Li Yunlong immediately passed the news to the intelligence department of the regiment and several other brother regiments. As long as there was any information about the machines in Yan Laoxier's arsenal, I, Li Yunlong, would give him 200 kilograms of explosives once verified.
And the payment will be settled on the same day, no arrears!
Only Li Yunlong could exchange explosives for intelligence, and he was the only one who could do that.
After this, Li Yunlong started a bad trend in northwestern Shanxi, whereby when the various regiments wanted to exchange something, explosives became hard currency and ordinary things did not work.
With such a high reward, news soon came out that the Japanese actually planned to pull a batch of remaining machines from the Taiyuan Arsenal back to their homeland, preparing to transport them to the south via the Zhengtai Railway and then load them onto ships.
Isn't this opportunity coming?
