Chapter 511: One Branch
One day later, Liu Gen arrived safely in Hebeigou Village and successfully arrived at the first branch.
Ten kilometers away from Hebeigou Village, Liu Gen met a soldier who was secretly alert. Fortunately, Liu Gen reported his identity in time and took out his identity certificate, which made the guards not have the chance to take action. Since Hebeigou Village has a branch factory, in order to ensure the safety of a branch factory as much as possible, the alert area is very strong.
The soldiers in charge of the alert recorded almost all the people in the surrounding area. Once strange faces came, they would be controlled by the soldiers and would be released after confirming the relevant identities. It is precisely because of such a strong alert that the soldiers discovered many Japanese and traitors who wanted to touch them.
Of course, such a strong warning force is also a great burden to the soldiers. The soldiers responsible for the warning every day work very hard, but even so, the soldiers still successfully persevered. They all knew the importance of the arsenal. No matter how hard they worked, they would not relax in the warning.
Director Qi Xuanwei, who was in charge of the first branch, was particularly excited when he learned that Liu Gen came to the first branch. He was an old man in the arsenal and naturally knew Liu Gen's ability clearly. Director Qi knew that Liu Gen would definitely come to the first branch, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. He thought it would take some time.
In order to show his importance to Liu Gen, Director Qi chose to come to greet Liu Gen in person. With the presence of the artillery department, he knew that Liu Gen would definitely come to a branch. When he saw Liu Gen again, Director Qi was still a little moved and excited. He knew that Liu Gen's arrival would definitely solve the problems accumulated by a branch.
Due to technical problems, there are many problems that need to be solved in the first branch. Originally, Director Qi wanted to invite some technical experts from the headquarters to come to the first branch for guidance. Now that Liu Gen comes, there is no doubt that the experts from the headquarters do not need to come. Director Qi has not had much contact with Liu Gen, but he still has enough confidence in Liu Gen's ability. He believes that Liu Gen can solve the problems that exist in the first branch.
"Foreman Liu, this time I come, I must stay in our first branch for a while."
"We have too many problems to solve in our first branch, and we urgently need talents like Foreman Liu to take charge." Director Qi held Liu Gen's hand tightly and said sincerely.
Since Liu Gen returned to the arsenal and was in charge of the artillery department of the arsenal, there was no problem with Director Qi calling Liu Gen as Foreman Liu. When Director Qi called him for Foreman Liu, Liu Gen felt a little moved. When he thought about his days at Huangyadong Arsenal, it seemed that this was the first time someone called him as Foreman.
Liu Gen felt the strength of Director Qi's handshake with him, and could only smile and nod. He believed that if he expressed his unwillingness, Director Qi would not let go of his hand easily. These are old routines. It is easy to see this situation in the Eighth Route Army troops. Who made the Eighth Route Army really lack talents?
"Director Qi, the Artillery Department has many talents with little technology. With them in it, the technical problems of the first branch factory should be easily solved, right? Especially Kong Jue from our Artillery Department, his technical capabilities are also very good. You can let him be responsible for solving the technical problems of the first branch factory." Liu Gen said to Director Qi.
After the split of Huangyadong Arsenal, Liu Gen knew that the production task of the first branch was not heavy, and the specialty of the artillery department meant that the technicians of the artillery department had a certain amount of free time. During such time, Director Qi could completely ask the technicians of the artillery department to help solve the problem.
Liu Gen believes that as long as Director Qi shows such a willingness, Kong Jue and others will not have any problems.
"Foreman Liu, Kong Jue and other comrades have helped solve the problem of the first branch. It is precisely because of their presence that our first branch has gotten on track in the shortest possible time. However, there are too few comrades like Kong Jue and others who have outstanding skills. Even if they keep working hard, they cannot solve all the problems."
"Especially some of the remaining problems that still exist today are unsolvable by comrades like Kong Jue and others. In terms of experience, they are still a little worse." Director Qi said helplessly.
Before taking over a branch, Director Qi knew that this was a chore, but after taking over a branch, he clearly understood the seriousness of the problem. Director Qi was a little grateful that he was very glad that the artillery department of the branch had an artillery department. It was with an artillery department that there were technical talents like Kong Jue, and the branch could resume production in the shortest time.
Unfortunately, Kong Jue's technical ability is good, but he is still a little too young. In the Eighth Route Army, there is only one Liu Gen, and Kong Jue's technical ability is not weak, but compared with Liu Gen, it is still much worse.
Liu Gen nodded, saying that he understood that Kong Jue's ability is good, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. He is still a little short of truly growing into a backbone who can take charge of the arsenal. Thinking of Kong Jue, Liu Gen missed him a little, and I don't know how Kong Jue's technical ability is now. He should have made a lot of progress.
In the Huangya Cave Arsenal, Kong Jue is a famous technical genius. If it weren't for Liu Gen's presence, then in the Huangya Cave Arsenal, Kong Jue would definitely be the most dazzling star. It was only the arrival of Liu Gen that Kong Jue could not become the brightest star, but it was also because of Liu Gen's presence that Kong Jue's technical ability was continuously improved.
In order to let Liu Gen clearly understand the specific situation of the first branch, Director Qi took Liu Gen to wander around the first branch. Compared with the Huangyadong Arsenal, the various departments of the first branch seemed a little dispersed. There is no way to do this situation. How can you accidentally move under the eyes of the Japanese?
During this period, Liu Gen also fully understood the technical problems in the arsenal. Some problems seemed to be a headache in his opinion, not to mention other people in the arsenal. Even if these problems were placed in other arsenals, it was a big problem. After fully understanding the situation of a branch, Liu Gen realized that it might be difficult for him to leave a branch in a short time.
Before coming to the first branch, Liu Gen was preparing to do all the things within a week and return to the division headquarters as soon as possible. But now, Liu Gen feels that it is already very good to be able to do everything within half a month. The main reason is that there are too many problems in the first branch, and it takes a long time to solve these problems.
After a simple meal, Liu Gen directly devoted himself to solving the arsenal problem. The conditions in the arsenal were not very good, so Liu Gen discovered something during the meal. However, Liu Gen didn't say anything. He knew that this situation was very common, especially in the arsenal.
When Liu Gen solved the technical problems of the first branch, technicians led by Kong Jue followed him closely. Each of them carried a small notebook in their hands, which could provide them with a record of Liu Gen's solutions to the problem and record Liu Gen's teachings to them.
Liu Gen had no objection to Kong Jue and others following him. If this could help them improve, he would be very willing. Liu Gen was sure that under the leadership of Director Qi, the first branch would definitely develop better and better. Kong Jue and others were called by Director Qi to follow Liu Gen. He was a good factory manager.
With Kong Jue and others here, Liu Gen's speed of solving problems was much slower, not because these technical problems were too difficult, but because Liu Gen needed to slow down and explain to Kong Jue and others. He hoped that Kong Jue and others could fully understand these things with their own detailed answers.
The most lacking talents in the arsenal in the Eighth Route Army and the lack of highly skilled technicians. Due to the limitations of objective conditions, it is very difficult for the arsenal to get talents with excellent technology. Liu Gen did not think that he would specially establish a corresponding school to train technicians, but he also knew that this was a bit unrealistic. The base area was not completely stable, and the Japanese sweeps were so frequent, so it was not worth the effort to establish a technical school.
What's more, it takes a lot of practical practice to truly cultivate technicians with strong enough technical capabilities. The Eighth Route Army does not have such good conditions now.
Kong Jue and others followed Liu Gen and could clearly see Liu Gen's every move. Kong Jue learned more. This was not because Liu Gen was biased, but because Kong Jue had a certain cultural foundation and technical ability, so he could naturally understand what Liu Gen said quickly.
The more I followed Liu Gen, the more Kong Jue felt that Liu Gen was powerful. Any technical problem that plagues a branch was so simple in Liu Gen's hands, and there was no accident when it was solved. Kong Jue was a little confused about how Liu Gen's technical level was so high. They also came out of Huangyadong Arsenal. Liu Gen studied at Huangyadong Arsenal so much shorter than him, but Liu Gen's technical level was so strong!
Time passed by Liu Gen's teachings to Kong Jue and others. Ten days after coming to the First Branch, Liu Gen finished teachings to Kong Jue and others. He taught Kong Jue and others all the things he should teach. Next, it depends on how much Kong Jue and others have learned.
It took ten days to solve the problem of a branch factory. Liu Gen was very dissatisfied. With his ability, he could solve it in a shorter time.
However, when Liu Gen thought of the improvement that Kong Jue and others could get, he could only sigh. What can he do? Could it be that he would not teach Kong Jue and others? How is this possible? You can't always have problems in a branch factory, and you have to come and solve it? This is a bit too unrealistic.
During these ten days, Liu Gen has gained nothing. During this period, all the staff of a branch factory knew about his existence and respected him very much. He has become familiar with the entire branch factory. It can be said that the branch factory will be Liu Gen's home in the future, and he will get the warmest welcome whenever he wants to come back.
After knowing that Liu Gen had solved all the problems in the first branch, Director Qi solemnly expressed his gratitude to Liu Gen, and also brought Liu Gen a message, that is, the Japanese corps captain Shan Yuanchunjiang and Yizi advance team captain Yizi Shigexiong, the two Japanese corps, were hung on the gate of the county town occupied by the Japanese, successfully attacking the Japanese's arrogant arrogance.
Especially some Japanese strongholds close to the Anti-Japanese base, no Japanese have come out of the stronghold in the past few days, and even give up their daily patrols.
The soldiers of various units of the Eighth Route Army were extremely excited when they learned that the Japanese corps captain and Shigeo Yiko were killed, and they became more motivated during training. The shame was washed away, so how could the soldiers of various units not be excited? Even the personnel of the arsenal became more energetic when they learned about this news.
Liu Gen was not very excited when he learned this news from Director Qi. He had known this for a long time. Besides, in Liu Gen's opinion, this is nothing. What is the leader of a Japanese corps? One day, he will kill the Japanese lieutenant general and general with his own hands!
If there is a chance, Liu Gen doesn't mind killing Okamura Yanji with his own hands and killing the Japanese emperor with his own hands!
Back at the artillery department of a branch, Liu Gen found that the artillery department did not have many production tasks. After the rocket launcher designed by Liu Gen had proved its own power, the artillery department received an order from the headquarters and successfully produced a batch. However, due to the objective conditions of the arsenal, the rocket launcher could not be produced on a large scale, which led to the artillery department now mainly producing artillery shells.
As for the manufacturing and production of mortars, there is not too much. There is no way. Who makes the arsenal's steel reserves limited? In the arsenal, there are too many places where steel is needed. The artillery department needs a large amount of steel to carry out corresponding production. Without steel, even if Kong Jue and others have strong technical capabilities, it will not be of use.
"Kong Jue, these are related design drawings. Please see if there are any problems."
"If there is no problem, you will produce these weapons and equipment I designed. Let me see how your abilities have reached. If you have any questions during this period, you can ask me directly." Liu Gen called Kong Jue and handed him the design drawings he had taken the time to draw.
During the period of teaching Kong Jue and others, Liu Gen could clearly see that Kong Jue's learning ability was quite good. In order to help Kong Jue get more improvement, he decided to relax this time and let Kong Jue make these weapons and equipment. As for how long it will take Kong Jue to make these weapons and equipment, Liu Gen felt that it should not be too long.
With clear design drawings, the weapons and equipment on it are so simple, and it is not difficult to manufacture. In addition, with Liu Gen, it is a problem that Kong Jue cannot manufacture these weapons and equipment.
"Okay!" Kong Jue took the drawing and said very seriously.
