Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal
Chapter 15: A show of force? Shoot directly
The firearms design department is located in the center of the Fengtian factory. Four three-story buildings are surrounded together to form a relatively enclosed space.
The gun design department has a large gate, and next to the gate is the security room. There are four or five armed guards playing cards in the security room. One of them sees Li Qinwu coming, and hurriedly puts down his cards and goes out to stop him.
"Hey, who are you? Outsiders are not allowed in here!"
Li Qinwu took out a letter of authorization from his pocket and handed it over.
"I'm Li Qinwu, deputy director of the firearms design department."
The guard took the letter of appointment, examined it carefully, looked at him meaningfully, and then rudely slapped the letter on Li Qinwu's chest.
"What deputy director? I can't read! There is only one Director Guo here, where did this random person come from? Get out of here right now!"
Li Qinwu narrowed his eyes and laughed. He looked straight at the guard and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, but I will remember you. Are you sure you want to get involved in the conflict between the two directors, you little soldier?"
These words made the guard's face twitch. He moved his lips but said nothing.
Li Qinwu reached out and patted his shoulder, put his mouth close to his ear, and said jokingly: "Boy, don't be so anxious to be a pawn for others. No matter how shallow my foundation is, I am still an official. No matter how powerful the person behind you is, you are still a soldier. If I really want to deal with you, do you think Director Guo will do his best to protect you?"
The guard swallowed his saliva, and the arrogance on his face turned into panic. He had received a signal from Director Guo before, asking him to make things difficult for the newly appointed deputy director.
He was so intent on pleasing Director Guo that he forgot that the deputy director was also an official and that he and Director Guo were not related. How could Director Guo possibly protect him with all his strength when he was being tortured to death by the deputy director?
He took two steps back and looked at Li Qinwu with eyes full of fear. Li Qinwu smiled, tapped the other's chest twice, and strode into the firearms design department.
Li Qinwu knew that the guards must have been instigating him in this way because of Director Guo's instructions, but he was not at all intimidated. The technical department relied on strength, and he happened to have risen to the top by relying on technology.
918 is almost here now, and he is too lazy to argue with these people. If anyone dares to pick a fight, he will just confront them and it will be over!
He pushed the door open and walked into the gun design department. Inside the door was a large space with many drawing tables. On the walls were photos and drawings of excellent weapons from all over the world. It looked quite realistic.
But if you look closely, you will see that the staff at the drawing table are not working at all. Some are eating smelly noodles with rotten meat, some are reading a novel, and some are simply sleeping soundly among the pile of documents.
Li Qinwu shook his head. I wouldn’t have dared to slack off like this in my previous life. This is just like taking a paid shit. No wonder I haven’t produced a qualified product in all these years.
The sudden appearance of Li Qinwu made the playful crowd press the pause button, and they all cast curious glances at Li Qinwu at the door.
Li Qinwu glanced around and confirmed that everyone was looking at him. He smiled, walked up to the crowd and said loudly: "Dear colleagues! I am Li Qinwu! I am honored by Director Zhang's kindness and will be promoted to deputy director of the firearms design department from today!
I am ashamed to say that I am not worthy of such an important task. I can only fulfill my duties and live up to Director Zhang's kindness. I hope my colleagues will take care of me. With our joint efforts, we will surely make the firearms design department..."
Before he could finish his words, everyone turned their gazes away after hearing his name and his position as deputy director, as if they had rehearsed it, and started chatting as if he didn't exist.
Although they didn't look at Li Qinwu directly, they were all glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes. They wanted to see how the new young director would respond to this collective show of force.
Li Qinwu couldn't continue speaking. He had expected this situation. The light firearms design department had been run by Director Guo for many years. He must have given these people a heads-up. He wanted to use this method to make it difficult for them to get by.
Li Qinwu saw that people's eyes were occasionally looking at him with some teasing, and they obviously wanted to laugh at him. He knew that if he couldn't even handle this little show of power, he would not have an easy time in the month before September 918.
So he made an unexpected decision. He directly pulled out the box behind his waist, pulled the slide to load the bullet, raised the gun to the ceiling and fired three shots!
The three loud gunshots made everyone present scream in fright. Some people who were sleeping jumped up in shock. Documents, water cups, and noodle soup that someone had brought in were scattered all over the floor, making the already dirty and messy environment even more unsightly.
"Don't move!!"
Li Qinwu's loud shout scared everyone. These guys either retreated to the corner or hid under the table, looking at Li Qinwu with horror.
Li Qinwu pulled the slide of the Turtle Box and ejected a deformed cartridge case. Damn, this broken gun jammed after firing three shots. It's really rubbish!
While troubleshooting the pistol, he held the gun with one hand and looked at everyone jokingly.
"What a bunch of losers! Who gave you the guts to threaten a deputy director like me? What's the matter? You don't want to do this anymore, right?"
He pointed his pistol at everyone present. The people he pointed the gun at screamed and kept moving their bodies to avoid the muzzle of the gun. They looked extremely embarrassed.
Seeing that these people were scared, Li Qinwu put away his gun and spat on the ground, cursing: "Fuck you, I talked to you nicely but you didn't listen, and you insisted on me using some tricks on you.
Listen up, you useless guys. My name is Li Qinwu, your deputy director. From now on when we meet, keep your eyes brighter and your mouth sweeter. Call you director or call you Brother Li. If anyone dares to give me a cold shoulder again, I’ll put a gun to their head!
Damn it, I don't know what you idiots are thinking. I am a deputy director and Director Guo have a conflict, and you little Karami dare to get involved? Are you looking for death by taking sides? "
He was cursing here, and several guards at the door rushed in with guns. When they saw that it was Li Qinwu who fired the shot and no one was shot at the scene, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The guard who had just been warned by Li Qinwu swallowed his saliva, gave a calm look to the others, retreated quickly and closed the door. Anyway, no one was killed, so it was better not to interfere in the affairs of officials.
Li Qinwu looked at the people present who were frightened as quails, and said with a smile: "Come on, my dear subordinates, call me Director Li!"
Everyone looked at each other, and sparsely spoke: "Deputy Director Li!"
Li Qinwu glared, took out his gun and fired another shot at the ground.
"Fuck, I'm the deputy and I need you to remind me!"
Everyone was frightened again and screamed and called out "Director Li" in unison.
In this way, Li Qinwu used this fierce and brutal method to resolve the intimidation given to him by Director Guo, and initially established his foothold in the firearms design department.
As for the side effects of brutal means, Li Qinwu said it didn't matter. Anyway, the Japs would take action before them before the side effects broke out, so he had no scruples at all.
