After hearing this, Mr. Zhu took the gun and looked at it carefully. He couldn't put it down.

Liu Yimin smiled and said: "Commander-in-Chief, don't be too happy. This gun doesn't have a name yet! You are the Commander-in-Chief of our army, and I'm waiting for you to name this gun!"

Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said: "Since this gun was designed by you and developed by Zeng, I think I will take one word from each of your names and call it Minzhao Automatic Rifle!"

Liu Yimin hurriedly shook his head: "It's inappropriate, it's extremely inappropriate. The name doesn't sound good. It should be called Mao Zedong Rifle or Zhu De Rifle. If you don't want to be named after a person, then call it the August 1st Automatic Rifle, because it is the anniversary of the founding of the Red Army.

, named after August 1st, I think it is the pride of this gun."

Mr. Zhu thought for a while and decided to call it "August 1st Automatic Rifle".

In this way, the first rifle produced by our army, the "August 1 Automatic Rifle", came out. In the subsequent wars to protect our country, the August 1 Automatic Rifle became the favorite infantry weapon of our soldiers, beating the enemy to death.

Courageous.

After testing the gun, Liu Yimin directly ordered Zeng Zhao to immediately work overtime to produce the August 1st automatic rifle. The bullets were produced according to the standard of 2,000 rounds per gun. At least 10,000 of them must be produced before July to equip the troops. The equipment is not enough, so we can

Immediately send people to Shanxi to find replica equipment from Yucai Machinery Factory. If there are not enough workers, they will try to recruit people in Taiyuan and Chengdu. For Chengdu, ask Commander Peng to send someone to contact, and for Taiyuan, Wu Zheng will send someone to contact them. The first batch of guns

Equip the Seventh Army with six veteran battalions and special operations brigades, which will be evenly distributed among the various armies in the future.

Zeng Zhao agreed one by one, and then asked Liu Yimin to check the problem of the rocket launcher.

Liu Yimin picked up the rocket launcher and checked it. If there was no problem, he asked Zeng Zhao to get a rocket launcher and test fire it. The result was that it really couldn't be fired.

Liu Yimin thought for a long time before he understood what the problem was. It turned out that the rocket should have an engine. At that time, he had forgotten about it and only designed the rocket launcher, not the rocket. This rocket was designed according to the instructions of several people.

It is made based on the principle of cannonballs, so naturally it cannot be shot out.

Liu Yimin asked Mr. Zhu to go back and rest first. He led Zeng Zhao and the American technicians to explain the working principle of the rocket to them, and then drew the drawings.

Zeng Zhao pointed out that the equipment in the military factory could not produce such a small engine for rockets, so it was necessary to find a professional machine manufacturer.

Liu Yimin thought that at this time, only Taiyuan's Yucai Machinery Factory was the closest, and it would be great if they could be moved to Shaanxi, but that was impossible at the moment.

At this time, an American technician proposed that we can use existing equipment to make equipment. If we can make guns, we can make equipment, but it will take time. He is sure that he can make this very simple small engine.

Both Liu Yimin and Zeng Zhao have very high English proficiency, so they can naturally understand what Bill is saying. After asking quickly, this American technician is called Bill Kelemen. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a major in mechanical engineering and turned out to work in a large factory.

The engineer, who lost his job due to the Great Depression, was recruited by Ni Hua to come to China.

Of course, Bill still blushed and coyly told Liu Yimin that the reason why he was willing to come to China was because he believed in the Chinese girl who recruited him. She was so beautiful that she was like an angel. However, when applying for a job in the United States,

The girl told him that she was the wife of the Red Army hero Liu Yimin. When he arrived in Hancheng, Bill already knew who Liu Yimin was. He felt that his trip to China was probably in vain. The distance between angels and mortals was too far. He could only bless General Liu.

.

When Liu Yimin heard this, his heart immediately trembled. The beautiful girl dared to say this in the United States, which shows how much she hopes to go to the United States to meet her. But now it seems that it is impossible to achieve. In a few months,

The Japanese were about to attack. How could I leave at this time? Forget it, I didn’t want to think about this anymore. I turned around and told Bill that he was already the director of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army Machinery Research Institute, and asked him to start developing equipment immediately, and would also start from

Xi'an sent him some professionals. For the time being, he obeyed Zeng Zhao's leadership. Later, after the equipment was developed, the Mechanical Research Institute would be an independent unit and could have independent funding. In the future, when we defeated the Japanese and established New China, he

You can become a foreign academician of our new China and become a world-renowned scientist.

When Liu Yimin said this, Bill was so excited that he hugged him and kissed him on the forehead. Then he took Zeng Zhao and several technicians away, leaving Liu Yimin alone at the testing site.
