Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

After testing the gun, Lao Huotou lay down to sleep directly, while Li Qinwu concentrated on drawing the magazine diagram. It was not until noon that he felt hungry, so he put down his pen and planned to go outside to get something to eat.

There is a cafeteria in the factory. The food there isn’t that delicious, but the portions are large and filling.

After finishing his meal in the cafeteria, Li Qinwu filled his lunch box again, ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and also asked for a small bowl of carrot soup. He carried these things and planned to go back to continue tinkering with the drawings.

However, he was stopped by someone as soon as he left the cafeteria. The person who stopped him was Chen Hao.

This guy had a fake smile on his face, which made Li Qinwu very uncomfortable. He didn't want to pay attention to him, but he blocked his way.

Chen Hao said with a smile: "Master Li, right? I was offended just now. 5000 yuan is indeed too low, but it is the price I can afford privately. I just went back to ask my superiors, and they approved a lot of funds for me. Master Li, how about we talk about it again?"

Li Qinwu looked at his fake smile and said indifferently, "Oh, how much money did your superior approve? I can sell you the gun if possible."

Li Qinwu really wanted to cash in on this gun. 918 was imminent, and he needed more money to create more clones so that he could make arrangements as early as possible and take away more machines before the Japanese entered the arsenal, or find a way to blow it up.

Seeing that Li Qinwu was interested, Chen Hao's fake smile became a little more pronounced and he raised a finger.

"Ten thousand dollars! How about you sell me the gun and the blueprints? That's a full ten thousand dollars!"

As he said this, he pretended to be in pain, which made Li Qinwu roll his eyes. He pulled the guy aside and made way for him.

Seeing Li Qinwu like this, Chen Hao got anxious and followed him, shouting, "Master Li, don't go! If you think it's too little, we can negotiate. 2 yuan! 2 yuan is already a lot. Stop, stop, stop! 3, I'll give you 3, okay? Don't go, 4! 4 is the final price!"

Li Qinwu didn't even turn his head. He wanted to cash in quickly and didn't want to be a sucker. If time wasn't tight, he would have kept the gun and sent it out under his own name, and he would have earned a lot of fame.

Seeing that Li Qinwu was still walking, Chen Hao ran up to him and shouted angrily, "5 yuan! This is the highest price I can afford!

Boy, let me tell you, this gun of yours has been favored by our Director Guo, so don't be ungrateful!"

Li Qinwu stopped and saw the undisguised malice in this guy's eyes. He gently put down the lunch box in his hand and looked at Chen Hao coldly.

"Are you threatening me?"

Now that the relationship was exposed, Chen Hao stopped pretending and the fake smile on his face turned into a real sneer.

"Kid! What if I threaten you? I'm telling you, Director Guo is someone you can't afford to offend. He likes your gun because he thinks highly of you. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Qinwu suddenly jumped up and kicked Chen Hao in the stomach. Chen Hao screamed and flew out.

As soon as he landed, Li Qinwu rushed over, rode on him, and smashed him in the face with his iron fist.

"Fuck you, you bastard! Are you threatening me? I'm going to beat you to death!"

This guy actually dared to threaten him, so Li Qinwu beat him to death. After two punches, Chen Hao's face turned red.

"Wow! Help! Someone's killing me!"

Chen Hao was beaten so hard that he screamed like a ghost. His hands were pinned down by Li Qinwu's knees, so he couldn't turn over. He was punched seven or eight times in the face and felt that his nose was broken.

In fact, his nose was indeed broken. Li Qinwu was trying to beat him to death. After a while, his cheeks were swollen, several teeth fell out, and he didn't know how many bones were broken.

There is a reason why Li Qinwu behaves so brutally. Chen Hao will definitely make trouble for him secretly. It is easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. It is better to use force to defeat the opponent and then provoke the conflict openly.

Li Qinwu glanced at the increasing crowd of onlookers and punched harder. At first, Chen Hao could still shout for help, but later, only his legs were twitching.

Seeing that someone was about to be beaten to death, someone in the crowd ran to call the guards.

Although Li Qinwu was trying his best to yell, he kept his eyes and ears open. He saw the guards coming from a distance and jumped up from Chen Hao.

He shouted to the people around him: "My fellow workers, I am Li Qinwu, a middle-level technician in the gun barrel production workshop. I am an ordinary worker like you!

My brothers, the Japanese are eyeing us covetously near the railway, and they take out their cannons to scare us from time to time. Our weapons and equipment are inferior to theirs, and we can't stand up straight!

I was thinking, if we could make better weapons for our soldiers, wouldn't we be able to stand up straighter?

Look, after several months of hard work, my master Lao Huotou and I finally made a submachine gun prototype! Today we tested the gun. Hey, this gun works well, it is more powerful than all the submachine guns on the market. With this gun, our soldiers can beat 10 Japanese devils with one!"

This is complete nonsense, but who cares? He just wants to make a big deal out of it and brag to the sky.

He succeeded. The crowd grew larger and larger, blocking the entrance to the cafeteria. Seeing this, Li Qinwu pointed fiercely at Chen Hao who was lying on the ground twitching.

"This bastard is Chen Hao, the section chief of the firearms design department! This bastard spied on me and my master making a submachine gun, and he wanted to take it by force! He wanted to take the submachine gun for himself!

This guy just said that he would reward me with 5000 dollars, and from now on this gun belongs to their firearms design department, and has nothing to do with me!

I didn't want to do it, so I refused. Then he threatened me, saying that I didn't know what was good for me! He wanted to kill my whole family! Brothers! If this happened to you, would you be able to endure it? "

Li Qinwu's dancing and shouting portrayed Chen Hao as a corrupt official who took advantage of others and himself as a victim who rose up in resistance.

Li Qinwu is tall and strong, and looks very decent. Chen Hao, lying on the ground, looks very embarrassed, with the word "villain" written all over his face. The crowd starts pointing fingers.

"Firearms design department? Does our factory still have such a department?"

Someone answered, "Of course we don't have them. We had them when the factory was first built. But we didn't make any guns. We just copied foreign stuff everywhere. And we couldn't even copy them well. They are just freeloaders!"

There are many knowledgeable workers in the crowd, and the gun design department is quite famous in the factory. This department, which has existed since the beginning of the factory, has nothing to offer and has become a political joke in the factory.

This is also the reason why Chen Hao threatened Li Qinwu. If no results were achieved, the gun design department would be in danger of being disbanded.

Chen Hao was too anxious. He thought that Li Qinwu was a small worker who could be easily controlled. He thought that he could get the gun by threatening him, and the department would achieve results.

As a result, he was beaten up by Li Qinwu, who made the matter bigger than before, exposing the influence of the independent research and development and manufacturing of submachine guns and making the conflict public. Now Chen Hao and Director Guo behind him didn't even have a chance to make any secret moves.

An officer in the crowd listened for a while and roughly knew what happened. He came to Li Qinwu and said, "Master Li, right? I know the details of the situation. Please come with me."

Li Qinwu dared not use any tricks when facing these soldiers. Soldiers and bandits in this era can basically be classified as the same category. If you dare to use any tricks, he will send you back to the starting line.

Li Qinwu did not resist and followed them. He believed that since he had made such a big noise, Lao Huotou would come to rescue him.
