Before Fang Zida officially took over the manufacturing bureau, the entire manufacturing bureau officials were busy communicating in private, building relationships, looking for backers, or asking people to intercede. They were afraid that Fang Zida, a fierce man, would make a drastic move regardless of everything and cut off their own financial resources.

, some people also agreed with each other that if Fang Zida really did this, everyone would simply fight to the death and let him know that the manufacturing bureau is not the eighth division, and the tactics in the army are useless here.

Who would have thought that Fang Zida would just do this in the end. The ordnance factory only accounts for a small proportion of the entire manufacturing bureau, and its personnel and scale are simply not comparable to those of steel mills and shipyards. The small ones are enlarged and kept basically the same.

There is no harm to the interests of the vast majority of people, and Fang Zida also made it clear that due to the reorganization of the ordnance factory, the part of the future allocations belonging to the ordnance factory will be allocated to the steel mills and shipyards. This does not mean that there is no loss, but more

Extra money? Who wouldn’t approve of such a good thing?

As for the placement of the original ordnance factory management personnel, although Fang Zida did not say it clearly, he quietly let it out after the meeting, saying that if these people wanted to be transferred from the ordnance factory to other factories of the Manufacturing Bureau, he would not ask. After learning this

After receiving the news, these people immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. They hurriedly looked for connections and connections. Within a few days, they all escaped from the "sea of ​​suffering". At this point, except for some ordinary technicians, half of the ordnance factory

There are no more management staff who are just trying to make ends meet.

The firearms of the People's Liberation Army, especially the types of rifles, are simply a world exposition. Almost all countries use rifles. Even in a small platoon of some troops, the soldiers have three or four types of rifles, and they are of different ages.

, with different calibers. When fighting a war, just bullet supply and rifle maintenance are a big problem.

The firearms produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau also have no fixed shape, ranging from the early rapid breech-loading rifles, the old Mauser single-shot breech-loading rifles, the Windsor repeating breech-loading carbine to the later small-caliber new Mauser breech-loading rifles, 6.8

The mm Shanghai 68 rifle and so on have been modified again and again, and the products have never been of high quality. They are only used by a few armies. Most of the troops and even the Beiyang Army still purchase arms directly from foreign companies in various countries.

Accompanied by Chen Fu, Fang Zida first walked around the ordnance factory carefully. After this round, it can be said that he was disappointed. The famous Ordnance Factory of Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration turned out to be like a private workshop. Hundreds of workers were divided into several piles.

, some are repairing firearms, some are loading bullets by hand, some are playing with mines and shells, and some are making guns.

These workers each do their own work, and there is basically no coordination and cooperation between them. Take gun making as an example. From the parts to the molding of the entire gun, almost all of them are handled by one person. When a gun is finished, it is slow.

After it was built, it was sent to an old technician. The old technician picked up the gun, squinted and looked around, then pulled the bolt and fired blankly. Those that he thought were qualified were put aside, and those that were not qualified were directly thrown into the basket on the side.

, and then sent to the warehouse or recycled for repair.

"Is this how you make guns?"

"What? Brother Zhangming, do you think there is a problem?" Chen Fu and Fang Zida came to the office and were startled when they heard Fang Zida ask solemnly as soon as he sat down.

Fang Zida shook his head with a wry smile. It seems that there is no need to ask anymore. Although Chen Fu is an ordnance expert, his level of manufacturing operations is indeed not very good. With such low efficiency and production methods, it is no wonder that the annual arms output of such a large manufacturing bureau is so low.

points, and the product quality varies, the yield is so low, and the cost remains high.

Drinking tea, Fang Zida thought about it silently. He decided to suspend production and comprehensively rectify the production methods of the ordnance factory. In addition, he was also very dissatisfied with the models of firearms currently produced. The reorganization of the National Defense Forces not only reorganized the army, but also unified the preparation of weapons.

A very important step.

Fang Zida does not have a military background, nor does he understand the structure of firearms. He does not have golden fingers or golden thighs. He can easily produce equipment such as AK47 and M16. As for choosing which rifle to use as standard equipment,

You have to ask Chen Fu about this, after all, he is an ordnance expert.

"Change the production method? Is this necessary?" When Fang Zida put forward his idea, Chen Fu frowned in confusion.

"Mr. Le Shu, do you know Ford?"

"Ford?" Chen Fu thought about it carefully and asked with some uncertainty: "Is it an American? It makes cars?"

"Yes!" Fang Zida nodded: "That's him, but Mr. Le Shu, do you know that Ford introduced an assembly line production process last year?"

Chen Fu shook his head in confusion: "Assembly line? What is this? I've never heard of it."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, but I can tell you that this kind of assembly line operation can greatly improve production efficiency. Let me give you an example. Take Ford's automobile factory as an example. Before he used assembly line production, the cost of each car

Production and assembly required 728 man-hours, and the annual output was only 12 vehicles. But after he switched to assembly line production, the output increased greatly. Do you know how many times it increased?"

"Twice?" Seeing Fang Zida shaking his head with a smile, Chen Fu thought for a while and said, "Five times?"

"Haha, it's far more than that!"

"Could it be ten times?" Chen Fu asked in surprise.

"Hahaha!" Fang Zida laughed and shook his head: "Mr. Le Shu, you still didn't guess right. The actual efficiency far exceeds this number."

"How much exactly? It can't be fifty times, right?" Chen Fu asked excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Fang Zida still smiled and shook his head: "Wrong! Let me tell you, it is 4488 times!"

"Bang!"

The chair Chen Fu was sitting on suddenly overturned to the ground. If Fang Zida hadn't grabbed him with his quick hands, he would have almost fallen on his back.

"You...what did you say? How is this possible?" Chen Fu's eyes almost popped out. He couldn't believe his ears, 4488 times? Fang Zida was not kidding himself, right?

"Of course it's true. If Mr. Le Shu doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to ask."

Seeing that Fang Zida was so sure, although Chen Fu had not seen it with his own eyes, he believed that Fang Zida would never lie to him about this kind of thing.

4488 times? Chen Fu couldn't help but count on his fingers. Taking into account that the current ordnance factory produces more than 2000 rifles every year, 4488 times is nearly 9 million? God! How is this possible? 9 million? Even half of it is 4.5 million.

, the total output of the Manufacturing Bureau since its establishment is not that much! When thinking of this, Chen Fu felt a little dizzy, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to calculate according to Chen Fu's calculation method. Although Ford's assembly line method can be copied, the industrial scale, raw material supply, worker quality, etc. of the United States and China are completely incomparable. However, it can greatly improve the existing

Efficiency, this is completely achievable.

Chen Fu, who was extremely excited, quickly asked about the specific method of the assembly line. Fang Zida did not hide his secrets and explained it to him in detail. After listening, Chen Fu praised Ford for being so smart for being able to come up with such a production process.

"Actually, we Chinese have had this craft as early as the Warring States Period."

"Is there such a thing? How come I haven't heard of it?" Chen Fu said in surprise when Fang Zida said this.

"It's true. The first country to use this method was the State of Qin. All the weapons and armaments of the State of Qin were produced through assembly lines, and every product was institutionalized. Only then did they equip a huge army and unify

It’s a pity that this production method has never been used since the Qin Dynasty, and it gradually disappeared.”

Fang Zida had a look of regret on his face. His ancestors actually had many advanced craftsmanship, but due to the changing of dynasties, these valuable assets disappeared without a trace in the long history. It was not until modern times of industrialization that Westerners suddenly stepped ahead of the Chinese.

It cannot be said to be a tragedy that China, which has been ahead of the world for thousands of years, has become so backward.

They sighed a few words to each other. Although Chen Fu still had some doubts about whether the real role of the assembly line was so great, he did not object to Fang Zida using this advanced method to try to transform the production method of the ordnance factory. In his opinion, if it doesn't work anymore,

The output is always higher than the current output. Since Fang Zida, as his superior, made this reasonable suggestion, Chen Fu felt that he could give it a try.

As for mechanical equipment, Fang Zida has already made preparations. The equipment that Marcos helped him purchase has been stored in the Shiliupu warehouse and can be assembled at any time and anywhere. However, before the assembly line operation, the preliminary training and adjustments for the workers are

It is necessary, and the decision on how to arrange some hired European technicians will have to wait until the existing workers are initially trained.

After solving the production process, Fang Zida asked Chen Fu about the ordnance production. As a professional ordnance expert, Chen Fu thought for a while and proposed several plans.

Enfield rifles, Mauser 98, Springfield rifles, Mosin Nagant rifles, Martini rifles, etc., and of course the commonly used Shanghai 68 rifles from Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau.

Chen Fuzhen was indeed an ordnance expert and knew the advantages and disadvantages of these rifles very well. He immediately became very excited and talked about it for more than an hour. However, Fang Zida, who did not understand ordnance at all, was confused. After hesitation, he simply said directly

Ask him which model is most suitable to make at the moment.

"Mosin Nagant!" Chen Fu said without hesitation.

"Why? Didn't you say that it is crudely made and has the slowest rate of fire?" Fang Zida was a little surprised. He originally thought that Chen Fu would choose Mauser. After all, Mauser is the most famous in China, and even the one made in Hanyang was based on the 1888 style.

To imitate, Chen Fu actually proposed to use Mosin Nagant, which is also known as "Shuilianzhu" among the people.
