Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

"Director Li, how are you?"

Huang Xiansheng was very tired and looked like he hadn't slept for several days. They lost the three northeastern provinces and watched their hometown fall into the hands of the enemy. One can imagine how depressed and miserable they were.

"Director Li, I sent a troop to rescue you on the night of the attack, but that troop reported that the Japanese had sent a whole squad to kill people on the prison wall. They couldn't get close, and I thought you were dead."

Li Qinwu sat opposite Huang Xiansheng and pretended to be relieved and said, "Director Huang, I was almost killed at that time. Fortunately, the Japanese were firing guns and artillery everywhere in the city, and most of the guards in Fengtian Prison had fled. One of the guards released me when he ran away, otherwise I would have been killed by the Japanese."

Li Qinwu made up an excuse to prevaricate. Anyway, all the people in Fengtian Prison were probably killed by the Japanese devils, so there was no place to verify.

Huang Xiansheng nodded and asked, "Director Li, what is it that you want to see me about?"

Li Qinwu felt a little embarrassed and told Huang Xiansheng that he wanted to ask for a statement of exemption. Huang Xiansheng immediately gave him a statement of exemption and also stamped it with his seal.

He handed the innocence statement to Li Qinwu.

"Director Li, the batch of submachine guns and anti-tank guns you hid were a great help. Two policemen equipped with submachine guns hiding in the building can fight a squad of Japanese soldiers head-on. The gun has a very fast firing rate and is very useful in narrow terrain.

The anti-tank guns were also very powerful. The people below told me that they destroyed four Japanese tanks with this weapon, causing the Japanese to not dare to drive armored vehicles into the city! "

As he said this, a smile appeared on his lips, and his tired face finally regained some spirit.

"Director Li, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to serve in our army? With your education level, you can be a battalion commander."

Li Qinwu carefully took the innocence statement. With this, the corruption at the Fengtian Arsenal would be over. He looked at Huang Xiansheng and said, "Director Huang, I am devoted to military technology and have no military management skills. I would be scared to death if I heard the sound of the Japanese guns. It is better not to embarrass Director Huang.

As for my plan, I want to go south to work at the Xiaoyi Arsenal in Henan. After all, it is one of the largest arsenals in our country. With what I have learned, I should be able to continue to shine there.

Moreover, I met more than 300 arsenal workers on my way south. These people were afraid of being harmed by the war, so I planned to take them to the Xiaoyi Arsenal to help them make a living. "

Hearing him say this, Huang Xiansheng's expression changed. He instinctively felt that he should not let Li Qinwu go. Talents like Li Qinwu should be won over and kept in control.

But the situation in Northeast China is so bad now, it can be said that all is lost. They simply cannot provide Li Qinwu with a stage to shine, and keeping him around is just a waste of talent.

He sighed and made a difficult decision.

"Director Li, there are so many people in Jinzhou now that the government's pressure has reached its limit. The day before yesterday, my staff told me that they had received a group of family members of employees from the Fengtian Arsenal, numbering about 800.

Since you want to go to the Xiaoyi Arsenal, why not take these 800 people with you? Otherwise, if the Japanese launch a surprise attack and take down Jinzhou, these people will be abducted by the Japanese and have to work for them. "

Li Qinwu's eyes widened. He just came here to ask for a statement of immunity, but he didn't expect to get himself into trouble?

But this is a good thing. He originally had more than 250 people with him, and now more than 800 people have joined. There must be two or three hundred skilled workers among them, right?

If he could bring these people to the Xiaoyi Arsenal, the leaders of the Xiaoyi Arsenal would probably laugh in their dreams. Are you kidding? The Fengtian Arsenal is the largest arsenal in Asia. Any technician here is capable of standing on his own. If two or three hundred skilled workers join, the Xiaoyi Arsenal can directly open one or two more factories.

Li Qinwu immediately promised and took the matter under his responsibility.

"Director Huang, rest assured. I will definitely get this done. However, with so many people, the food and fodder they need on the road will be huge. The situation is unstable right now. If we don't bring enough food, these 1000 people will definitely encounter difficulties heading south."

Huang Xiansheng picked up the pen and quickly wrote something on the paper.

"Director Li, I'll have my adjutant take you to the logistics department later. With this note, you can get 10 carriages and food. With these things, you should be able to enter the customs.

The interior of the country has not been invaded by the devils for the time being, so you can spend money to buy some food on the way, and it should be no problem to hold on to the Xiaoyi Arsenal."

He handed the note to Li Qinwu with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. His behavior was tantamount to pushing the technical talents of the Northeast to the Nationalist government.

Although the Northeast has changed its flag and announced that it will obey the orders of the central government of the Nationalist Government, the factional struggle is not so easy to end. The Northeast and the Nationalist Government are still two forces in essence. Huang Xiansheng needed great courage to do this, and he also saw the situation clearly and showed his righteousness.

Li Qinwu took the note and put it away. He saw that Huang Xiansheng had a complicated expression. This handsome man in front of him had no stains since he appeared in history books. What he did in his life was almost a portrayal of a national hero.

He rose up to fight against the Japanese invaders on the night of September 18th, and later became one of the main generals of the Northeast Volunteer Army. During the Great Wall War of Resistance, he led his troops out of the border many times to defeat the Japanese invaders. When facing domestic problems, he adhered to the principle of never fighting internal battles and focusing on the war of resistance. However, such a man finally died at the hands of his own people.

At this moment, Li Qinwu thought a lot and finally condensed it into one sentence: "Director Huang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Huang Xiansheng smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, I'm here just to check on the situation in Jinzhou. My troops are still fighting the Japanese on the front line. I'll have to go back to the front in a few days. By then, I'll be running around everywhere, and Director Li won't be able to find me even if he wants to help.

But Director Li should have hidden a few more flamethrower submachine guns. This gun is really useful. If every squad in my army can be equipped with two, I will have the confidence to fight the Japanese head-on! "

This made Li Qinwu's mind move, and he said, "Director Huang, how about you write me another note? Just say you want to order submachine guns?

When the time comes, I will take this order to the Xiaoyi Arsenal to take up my post and see if we can build a submachine gun production line at the Xiaoyi Arsenal. How about I send all the first batch of submachine guns produced to you?"

Huang Xiansheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. Li Qinwu's words gave him an idea. He thought that he had sent Li Qinwu, a talent, to Xiaoyi Arsenal, which was a huge loss. But now he thought again, it seemed that they did not lose Li Qinwu, but they put Li Qinwu, a thorn in the side of Xiaoyi Arsenal.

Although large-scale arms sales have to be decided by high-ranking officials of the Nationalist government, no matter what, the people closest to the production of weapons are their own people, which can only benefit their front-line troops and not harm them!

Huang Xiansheng immediately wrote another note to Li Qinwu, asking for a one-time order of 2000 flamethrower submachine guns. With such a large order, Li Qinwu estimated that he would be promoted directly to the position of Xiaoyi Arsenal. What a crappy deputy director position! Shouldn't he be made a director?

The conversation between the two then came to an end. Huang Xiansheng was very busy at the moment and had no time to chat with Li Qinwu. Finally, Li Qinwu analyzed the fact that the Japanese army would bomb Jinzhou to him, hoping that Huang Xiansheng could influence the top leaders of Jinzhou to evacuate the refugees and make preparations for air defense.

Li Qinwu's analysis was well-reasoned. Huang Xiansheng listened to it with a worried look on his face. Li Qinwu believed that he would make the right choice.

Next, Li Qinwu left Huang Xiansheng's office, and it was unknown when they would meet again.

He and Huang Xiansheng's adjutant went to the logistics warehouse and received 10 carriages and food, which was only enough to feed 1000 people for about two weeks.

There were so many refugees in Jinzhou City at that time, but Huang Xiansheng was still able to squeeze out so many things. He didn't need to care about the life and death of these technicians, but he still did it, and sent the technicians to the area controlled by the Nationalist Government. Li Qinwu felt his righteousness from these things.

Two weeks was enough for them to walk from Jinzhou into the interior. As long as they entered the interior, they would be free from the Japanese military threat and could spend a lot of money to buy food on the road.

In addition to food, Li Qinwu also received 10 spears. These spears could deter small bandits on the road and help Li Qinwu establish prestige among the workers so that they would not fight with him.

After receiving the goodies, he went to find the 800 workers and their families. After careful understanding of the situation, he learned that among the 800 people, there were 272 junior technicians, 53 intermediate technicians and 3 senior technicians.

Li Qinwu immediately organized this group of people, picked out several respected people according to their work level and age, and asked them to help manage the team.

Li Qinwu told them that he was ordered to take them to the Xiaoyi Arsenal to make a living, and they must not cause trouble on the way. Everyone should hurry on their way honestly. In a few days, they will be able to enter the interior to avoid the Japanese army, and then they can take trains and other means of transportation to quickly go south.

These people were overjoyed when they heard that they could evacuate Jinzhou. These days, Jinzhou was full of refugees and soldiers, and rumors were flying everywhere. From time to time, someone would say that the Japanese were attacking, which made them upset.

Now that they can evacuate this troubled place, everyone is as honest as quails. They organize themselves spontaneously and follow Li Qinwu's orders to get ready to set off.
