The heavy snow in the sky did not stop completely, and it always floated up when people wanted to go out. It seemed that they didn't want everyone to have a good time to have fun.

The Japanese did not continue to attack. It should be because the weather made them extremely uncomfortable. They probably wouldn't have a large attack in the past month.

There is no possibility of a sweeping squadron. They had died before, but if they dared to come, they would probably have to die another squadron.

The Japanese are not fools. They will never do such a loss-making business, let alone the Central Army seems to be ready to move now.

Erpang looked very sleepy. Although he was lying on the ground with his eyes closed all the time, he seemed to be unable to sleep enough, so Li Feng was not going to take it out for a walk.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Li Feng felt that he should go find his cheap sister and see how those orphans were doing.

Wu Xiaoshan has taken so much money from her, so she can help the orphans find some places to live.

Moreover, she also invested in the previous work. The Eighth Route Army not only bought things from the people, but also sold things to the people. Although they didn't make a lot of money, they had some money at least and would not have been idle all day long.

Even Wu Xiaoshan wanted to get the mats and straw sandals they bought to other villages and towns, so that they could make more money.

The Central Army does this kind of work. They keep making money from the economy and making money in the local area, so everyone makes a lot of money.

This is also a good thing. After the local economy is raised, it will be better if the people have money in their pockets.

But now in a war-torn era, it doesn’t matter if people in the army go to do business, but if they forget the training and main positions of the army, the problem will be big.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these Central Army is not very strong, because they have been making money before, so they have no time to think about fighting with the Japanese to improve their combat effectiveness.

Li Feng learned from the experience of the Central Army. He felt that he should not only engage in local economy and ignore strategic forces. After all, he is still fighting with the Japanese. If there is no strong enough power, no matter how good the economic system is, it will be destroyed by the enemy.

Li Feng was preparing to engage in economic development while exercising the money he earned, which could form a virtuous cycle and make the Eighth Route Army's army stronger.

Now it is just a beautiful idea, and it is still very difficult to implement it in detail. For example, the problems they are facing now, and there seems to be some problems with the machines in the arsenal.

Their arsenal is located in a mountain not far from Li Village. In order to prevent the Japanese from appearing, not many people know the specific location of the arsenal.

Even the highest cadre of a party branch like Lao Jie didn’t know. Li Feng had only been there three times, and each time it was very hidden.

How did the arsenal machine come from?

The reason for this is simple. A group of Central Army offended them before. When they came to apologize, Li Feng raised several conditions, including these dilapidated machines.

People from the Central Army never like to do these things. Their weapons and ammunition can be transferred by superiors, so they don’t have to think about being self-sufficient. They think about how to please superiors and get promoted and wealth every day.

But the fat guys are different. According to the instructions of their superiors, each base must be self-sufficient.

To put it bluntly, the old saying is that although a sparrow is small, it must be fully equipped with all the internal organs, and cannot hold all the strategic materials in the hands of others.

So Li Feng exchanged three machines, all of which were left by the previous warlords. Although it may be a bit bad to build guns and cannons, it is better than not being able to build them!

But now they are facing a very big problem, that is, the barrel produced by the machine is unqualified.

"Li Feng, you have to think of a solution for this matter. Look at the rifle in these gun barrels, it is not only too shallow, but also very rough. It must be solved as soon as possible."

The director of this arsenal is Zhang Guoqiang, who was specially asked by Li Feng to his superiors, so that he could better display the arsenal in the Jin-Lu-Yu base.

At this time, the fat man also picked up a barrel and squinted his eyes and looked at the bright spot. The rifle inside was indeed too shallow, and it was probably smoothed out if there were no few shots.

Moreover, if the rifle is too rough, it will affect the ballistics, which will make the battle extremely troublesome.

Their steel quality is much worse. Zhang Guoqiang has already used his greatest strength to avoid blowing up the barrel. There is indeed a long way to go to ensure the stability of the bullet trajectory.

At this time, Erpang also picked up a barrel and looked at it carefully. Finally, he felt bored and threw it away.

Li Feng looked at Erpang helplessly and smiled. This silly panda was unwilling to come out, but who knew that it would follow him after he came out.

There was no way, the two brothers were often together, so Li Feng took him to the arsenal.

Putting down the barrel, a fat man pinched his chin and thought carefully, and finally said to Zhang Guoqiang in front of him:

"Do you think this is OK? Let's grind the rifle manually, and I believe you can also make these tools.

Although manual rifling requires a lot of labor, there is only this method now."

Zhang Guoqiang's face was full of helplessness. China's industrial foundation was still too poor. He finally had one of the three northeastern provinces, but the Japanese were in vain. Not to mention the industrial systems in other places.

"That's all!"

The problem with the barrel is just a small problem encountered by their arsenal. The bigger problem is the quality of the steel.

For example, the striker has very high quality requirements for steel. The striker produced by the arsenal was broken after a few shots, resulting in machine gunners not only having bullets on their bodies, but also having to carry many spare striker pins.

In addition, the manufacturing of some of their other simple grenades is also a big problem, such as where does gunpowder come from?

The method of manufacturing black gunpowder is very simple, and charcoal is easy to work with. As for the two things, sulfur and saltpeter, it may be a bit difficult to work with.

However, Li Feng believes that these things are not a problem, and the reason is very simple, that is, he has money!

I have fought several battles recently and the troops have earned a lot of money, so it is okay to allocate more funds to the arsenal.

"Li Feng, the arsenal has been short of money recently. Can you tell me if you can get me some more money?"

In terms of funding, Zhang Guoqiang is indeed a little unwilling to open his mouth. After all, Li Feng has enough money to support them. Compared with the arsenals in other base areas, their funding is more than five times that of other arsenals.

"This matter is a bit troublesome. After all, the funds you need are fine, but if you want some supplies... you also know my sister's current personality... She may be a little stingy..."
