The Rise of Great Powers: Starting From Military Industry

Chapter 23 What You Hear May Not Be What You See

Randomly select 120 bullets for testing.

Da da da!

The factory guards were holding ‘Type 78’ automatic rifles and shooting at targets.

A magazine, and another magazine.

When Wang Tiezhu and others saw this, they already understood that these bullets were all qualified.

Producing a hundred bullets is easy, not difficult at all, and any decent workshop can do it. It is really difficult to produce 100 million rounds of bullets that are qualified, stable, and uniform.

After the test, Wang Tiezhu immediately arranged to arrange the bullet production materials to the production workshop, arrange for a few workers, and let Liu Tao be temporarily responsible for the bullet production in this production workshop.

Back in the office, Wang Tiezhu immediately dialed his superior's phone number and reported the situation to his superior.

"Old Wang, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight!" Wang Baoguo rolled his eyes at the Provincial Defense Management Office, wondering if this old man was too stressed and went back to the factory to drink.

Wang Tiezhu said: "Comrade Wang Baoguo, I guarantee with my party spirit that this matter is absolutely true. I ask my superiors to allocate enough materials to our Panshan Machinery Factory."

At this time, Wang Tiezhu felt confident. He had seen it with his own eyes and tested it, and he could straighten his back.

"If you don't believe it, Comrade Wang Baoguo, I suggest you come to our Panshan Machinery Factory now!" Wang Tiezhu said confidently.

"Okay, I'll go to Panshan Machinery Factory right now!" Wang Baoguo said.

In fact, he was also very busy at this time.

As the orders from above were issued, all factories had to move into action. As the person in charge of all the military industry systems in Yun Province, Wang Baoguo was under great pressure, and there were many departments that needed coordination.

As the front line, the supplies that need to be prepared are simply massive.

But the matter of Panshan Machinery Factory is worthy of Wang Baoguo’s personal visit.

Panshan Machinery Factory has developed the ‘Type 78’ pistol and the ‘Type 78’ automatic rifle. Now the ‘Type 78’ pistol has officially passed the national acceptance three days ago and is officially named ‘Type 78’. The ‘Type 78’ automatic rifle is deeply loved by military officers and soldiers, and if nothing else happens, it will also pass national acceptance.

This is the most dazzling achievement of the entire Yun Province military industry system, and it is also the most dazzling star in the country's firearms field!

If it were in the past, Wang Tiezhu called him and told him that the bullet production line could produce 140,000 rounds of bullets per day, Wang Baoguo would definitely have cursed and spit in his face.

Now, Wang Baoguo would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist.

Although it is incredible, what if it is true?

Liu Tao!

This name has been deeply remembered by Wang Baoguo.

This is a young man who is good at creating miracles, this is a firearms genius who dares to make the impossible possible!

Who could have imagined that a newly graduated college student would dare to develop a pistol with advanced performance? Do you dare to develop a firearm whose performance far exceeds that of the 'Type 63' automatic rifle?

Wang Baoguo didn't believe it at all that Liu Tao learned it in college. Look at which university in the country has a decent firearms design major! ?

Wang Baoguo pulled out the drawer and took out two certificates of commendation.

These are all Liu Tao's, one is "an advanced cadre imitating Lei Feng" and the other is "a model for advanced scientific and technological workers of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense"!

They had just arrived a few days ago, and Wang Baoguo hadn't had time to give it to Liu Tao, so he just happened to take it with him this time.

After more than two hours, the jeep finally arrived at Panshan Machinery Factory.

The jeep stopped at the office building. As soon as Wang Baoguo saw Wang Tiezhu, he said: "Old Wang, this time I come to see it in person. If you lie to me, I will be rude to you!"

Wang Tiezhu laughed: "Comrade Baoguo, this trip will definitely be worthwhile for you. Would you like to have a cup of tea first, or go to the production workshop first?"

"What kind of tea do you want to drink? Go to the production workshop!" Wang Baoguo said.

Wang Tiezhu took Wang Baoguo directly to the production workshop.

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, then trotted over quickly: "Director Wang, why are you here!?"

This person is the top leader of the entire Yun Province military industry system.

In the entire provincial military industry system, Wang Baoguo has the highest level.

"Comrade Liu Tao, Director Wang called me. This time you launched another large satellite. I came here specially to have a look." Wang Baoguo said with a smile.

Liu Tao didn't expect that Wang Baoguo was so efficient, and that he had already arrived at noon.

"Director Wang, this bullet production line uses automated production and only requires a small number of people!" Liu Tao introduced.

At this time, Wang Baoguo looked at the bullet production line and saw bullets being produced one after another.

Wang Baoguo was shocked when he saw the production process of this bullet. This bullet was produced too fast!

Bullets fell into the box one by one.

All the workers have to do is load bullets into bullet boxes and put them aside.

Wang Baoguo knew that the wooden box contained 900 rounds of ammunition!

The bullet weight of such a bullet box is 14.76kg, which can be easily moved by one person.

"In the past two hours, a total of 12,500 rounds of bullets were produced!" Wang Tiezhu said proudly: "The machine keeps producing in one day and can produce 150,000 rounds of bullets. Each bullet has the same specifications!"

"Incredible, incredible!" Wang Baoguo said quickly: "Are all the bullets qualified? Have they been tested?"

Liu Tao said: "Director Liu, 6,100 bullets were produced at the beginning, and 120 bullets were randomly selected for testing, and all passed. After that, 30 bullets were randomly selected every hour for testing, and no abnormalities were found so far."

"I don't think there is any need to worry about the bullet qualification rate. What we should worry about is that the bullet production materials of our Panshan Machinery Factory can only be produced for two or three days at most, and then we will have to suspend production due to lack of materials!" Liu Tao was a little helpless.

Planned production, everything must be done according to the plan. It is impossible to reserve too much materials in the warehouse.

Even if we go to other factories to buy materials, there is no way.

"I will solve the material problem!" Wang Baoguo said, patting his chest.

What is lacking now is the production capacity of guns and bullets, not materials.

He can coordinate and allocate more materials to Panshan Machinery Factory. If Yunnan Province is not enough, then it can be allocated from Sichuan Province and other places.

With the order from above, everything is based on the front line.

Before the troops are sent out, the food and grass must go first!

The importance of logistics is beyond doubt.

Military uniforms, military blankets, bullets and shells, etc. are being transported to Yunnan Province and Guangxi Province by rail and road.

Originally, the ammunition reserves in the various ammunition depots in Yun Province were enough. But the pitfall was that when the investigation was conducted, many guns and ammunition were not up to standard.

In addition, the troops conducted live-fire shooting training, and the consumption of bullets and shells naturally rose sharply.

Now, in the whole Yun Province, the 63-type automatic rifles that were originally to be equipped by the troops were handed over to the militia, and the troops were equipped with 78-type automatic rifles.

That is why the task given to Panshan Machinery Factory is to produce at least 10,000 78-type automatic rifles a month.

Other military factories in Yun Province did not even produce 63-type automatic rifles, let alone 78-type automatic rifles.

The military specifically asked Panshan Machinery Factory to produce them.
