War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 366: Simple and Difficult

In late spring of 1934, the walls surrounding the Dagu Shipyard were hung with red silk, and outside the walls stood a pile of unlit firewood, and next to the firewood were the bamboos they had bought with their own money.

Dagu Shipyard was ready to resume work. After the gun had gone through the torture of two thousand bullets and was still able to work normally, Xu Chaoyang waved his hand and the entire Dagu Shipyard was ready!
Drawings for the parts have been sent to the lathe shop;
The gun barrel drawing was held in the hands of the deputy director of the 'gun factory' and carefully compared;

The bullet production line is ready, now all it takes is Xu Chaoyang's order.

In the past six months, the training of the 217th Regiment has also undergone tremendous changes. They have developed from the "blocking training" and "ambush training" training modes during the Chahar period to the offensive training of "smoke bomb cover attack", "incendiary bomb cover attack" and "infantry and artillery coordinated cover attack".

What we are waiting for is to get semi-automatic rifles with more powerful firepower so that we can show our power.

This time, they only had to open the switch and power the machine, and they would no longer have to use the 'mines' made from broken glass bottles, or the incendiary bombs made from 'wine jars'. Even the 'heartless cannons' were all taken offline and replaced with gun barrels made from cast steel.

Xu Chaoyang finally saw the real thing after spending a huge amount of money on this!
"Prepare!"

"Light the fire!" Xu Chaoyang roared, and soldiers holding torches came out of the Dagu Shipyard one by one. They went to the pile of firewood and lit the fire. After the fire was burning, they began to add bamboo to the firewood. After a while, the sound of "crackling" firecrackers could be heard from the periphery of the entire Dagu Shipyard, and the scene was very lively.

Xu Chaoyang stood at the gate of the Dagu Shipyard Steel Plant and shouted, "Turn on the power and start work!"

This is a historic moment for the 217th Regiment. When the iron sand enters the furnace and is refined into steel, then is shaped into a gun barrel in the workshop, and finally the rifling is polished, it is sent to the "assembly department" along with the parts from the lathe processing plant. The semi-automatic rifle that has troubled Xu Chaoyang for two years can finally enter the production stage.

The name of this rifle was given by Yang Jingyu directly without discussing it with Xu Chaoyang. It was named "H34" rifle. H means Xu. Although it was not stated explicitly, Yang Jingyu still left Xu Chaoyang in the history books in his own way.

However, after seeing the name 'H34' on the production report, Xu Chaoyang silently added a Y to the suffix of the gun. Therefore, the rifle now produced by Dagu Shipyard, which is similar to G41M, is named H34Y on the production report.

hum!
The sound of electricity being turned on resounded throughout the Dagu Shipyard. Workers shoveled coal from the Jingxing Coal Mine into the high-temperature furnace one shovel at a time. When the iron sand was melted into molten iron by the high-temperature furnace, the entire workshop was illuminated in a red iron color. At that moment, Xu Chaoyang was extremely excited.

It was like a dream come true, watching the first batch of molten iron melt and slowly flow out of the furnace in the high temperature.

Then, his eyes became wet.

At this moment, he no longer had the idea of ​​confronting the trolls, and he also forgot to shout "Hatriots, speak up!" He just quietly watched the evolution of the H34Y rifle from iron sand to a firearm that could fire bullets, and felt how difficult it was to change this country with his own hands!
Those who only know how to talk will never experience this kind of sense of accomplishment in their lifetime!
How easy is it to type a few words on the Internet? How easy is it to boss people around?

How easy is it to be a troll who has no experience in governing and who treats the civil service exam as a calamity that he cannot overcome?

It is so easy to say things you imagine as facts, such as "Our country cannot produce steel balls for pen tips, they have high technology", "Their aerospace technology is number one in the world", "Our chips are not good, we will never catch up with them"?

The problem is, all these humiliations were left behind by our mother, who smiled with a frosted face and said in the calmest manner: "If the enemy can go, I can go too. What about after that?"

Don't worry, among those people who sing praises, there must be some black scoundrels, but they have all forgotten that many of our shames were caused by these bastards.

Xu Chaoyang stood in the red flames of the steel mill and slowly became dazed. He seemed to see countless people fighting bravely in this fiery red fire, and he also saw a group of people bent over their desks, conducting research regardless of the hardships. He also saw a group of people abandoning their homes and businesses, and entering the desert as if they had disappeared, and he also saw a group of people whose hair turned white because they were worried about whether the new country should choose this moment to go to war with the world's most powerful country in the snow and ice.

The most important thing is that after the molten iron melted, among the slag that splashed out in a flash of fiery red, there was also a group of people who pointed at the result and talked about it without paying attention to the process...

At this time, Xu Chaoyang smiled.

He looked at the scene and smiled.

In the past, he would stand up and argue with him in indignation, but now he can no longer do that. He has learned to turn a deaf ear to them and focus on his own work...

"Chaoyang!"

At dusk, the sound of firecrackers had completely disappeared. Yang Jingyu walked to the front of the steel mill with a brand new H34Y in his hand. After shouting, he excitedly handed the gun over: "This is the first semi-automatic rifle we just assembled. Can you keep it as a souvenir?"

Xu Chaoyang finally pulled himself out of his thoughts, turned around and looked at Lao Yang and said, "These are just processes..."

"process?"

Xu Chaoyang nodded: "Whether it's the guns or cannons you produce, it's all a process. No matter how much more advanced your weapons are than the enemy's, it's just a process. Even if you kill countless soldiers holding cold weapons with the Maxim, people in the future will not think that you won unfairly, but will only blame those who held cold weapons for being stupid."

“This is the process…”

“But the only thing that speaks in this world is not the process, but the result.”

"We go through this process so hard just to get a good result."

Yes, what Xu Chaoyang wants is the result. This is what makes him different from the slag that splashes out in the molten iron from melted iron sand. He is willing to go through untold hardships to complete the process and ultimately stand on the result instead of just talking.

"Where are the results?"

Old Yang asked this while standing beside Xu Chaoyang.

"It's almost there, don't worry."

Of course Xu Chaoyang knew where the result was. The result was in Beijing, in Fengtai, in Tong County... and in the history that developed later.

But can he say it?
"Well, I'm going to go check on the training of our new recruits. You keep an eye on the production for me." After saying that, Xu Chaoyang turned around and left.
