On the morning of January 20, Jiang Dong took Wang Xueqin, Zhou Fu, and Ren Guang straight to the Firearms Research Institute of the Academy of Military Sciences.

"Legion Commander, have you developed any new weapons and equipment?"

Zhou Fu, who was born as a worker, asked with curiosity on his face.

Wang Xueqin and Ren Guang also cast curious looks.

Jiang Dong pointed to the briefcase held by Zhao Erniu behind him, and said in a pretentious manner:

"It contains the most advanced firearms of this era, haha, you will know in a moment..."

Zhou Fu's fingers felt itchy, and he wanted to see what was going on, but Jiang Dong obviously didn't intend to give him a chance.

The Academy of Military Sciences has the highest level of confidentiality in the entire southeast of Shanxi. After going through layers of security checks, a group of people from Jiangdong finally entered the academy.

After hearing the news, Professor Fan Zhuxian, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, rushed to greet him. Jiang Dong waved his hand, telling him not to be polite.

"Professor Fan, take us directly to the Firearms Research Institute."

"Okay, okay..."

During the time when Jiang Dong went to Suiyuan to fight, the Academy of Military Sciences had many more departments, and the layout of the academy was much different from when he left.

"Professor Fan, what are the gentlemen at the Firearms Research Institute busy with recently?" Jiang Dong asked as he walked.

"I spent most of my time working on the new pistol..."

"oh……"

The director of the Firearms Research Institute is Nie Xuechang, who was previously a deputy director of the Taiyuan Arsenal.

Fan Zhuxian led a group of people from Jiangdong into the firearms research institute. When Nie Xuechang saw this, he hurriedly called everyone in the research institute out.

There were less than thirty people in the entire institute, and now they were all standing on the east side of the river.

Jiang Dong had a warm smile on his face,

"Hello, Director Nie and gentlemen, I have been busy fighting the war and I haven't been able to take time to see you all. I'm sorry..."

Nie Xuechang and others were also in contact with Jiangdong for the first time and seemed a little nervous.

"The legion commander is joking. It's important. How dare we waste your time."

Jiang Dong glanced at Fan Zhuxian, laughed and said:

"I heard that you gentlemen are designing a new pistol. Can I take a look..."

Nie Xuechang's face was a little red.

They really wanted to design a pistol unique to the 39th Legion, but their capabilities were limited and it was difficult to finalize it.

"Well, I just have this idea, the design research work has not officially started yet."

Everyone behind him lowered his head, a little ashamed.

Jiang Dong didn't take it seriously, took the briefcase from Zhao Erniu, patted it and said:

"In that case, how about you gentlemen please take a look at my humble work first?"

Everyone in the research institute raised their heads in unison.

Most people at the Academy of Military Science know that Jiangdong has extraordinary talents and abilities in weapons, equipment and military technology. Many technologies and research were started under Jiangdong's guidance.

Everyone at the Firearms Research Institute was dubious about these words. When they heard Jiang Dong say this, they all showed impatient expressions on their faces.

Jiang Dong didn't have any airs. He walked into the research room first, followed by everyone.

The research room is actually quite large, but now everyone is pouring in, making it seem a bit crowded.

"Director Nie, just ask the people in charge of each direction to stay, and the others will wait outside the door."

"Yes, yes..."

The number of people in the room suddenly decreased by two-thirds. Jiang Dong smiled and opened his briefcase and put a design drawing on the table.

Nie Xuechang, who was already impatient, put his head forward first.

Zhou Fu, Ren Guang, and Fan Zhuxian also surrounded him.

Wang Xueqin knew nothing about firearms. He stood on the edge of the river and waited for everyone to finish reading.

Zhou Fu, Ren Guang, and Fan Zhuxian withdrew their heads one after another, leaving only Nie Xuechang and other gentlemen from the Firearms Research Institute who continued to watch.

The expressions on their faces were serious and focused at first, then turned to shock and disbelief after they finished reading.

"Is this a semi-automatic rifle?" Nie Xuechang is, after all, someone who has worked in a large factory and has extensive knowledge.

Jiang Dong nodded slightly,

"What do Director Nie think of this gun?"

Nie Xuechang lay down and looked at it a few more times, and said with admiration:

"This design far surpasses the Chinese and German Mauser rifles, and can even be said to have led the development of rifles to a new high point. The commander of the regiment is indeed well-deserved, and he made us old guys realize our own merits as soon as he made a move."

"Hey, Director Nie's vision is also very comparable to others, so don't underestimate yourself." Jiang Dong looked at the design drawing and said:

"This is indeed a semi-automatic rifle. Compared with the bolt-action rifles used today, it has a faster rate of fire and more powerful firepower.

Now that we have the drawings in front of us, can the Firearms Research Institute cooperate with the military factory to produce this gun?"

Nie Xuechang rubbed his hands,

"The legion commander has already completed the first 90% of the work. If we can't do this last thing, we will be sorry for the good living conditions you provided."

"Haha...good!"

What appeared in front of Nie Xuechang and others was the blueprint of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. This gun has been tested by the People's Army. It is light in weight, has high shooting accuracy and has strong lethality. It is a semi-automatic rifle with perfect comprehensive performance.

Koto himself also liked this gun very much and planned to use it to replace the Mauser rifles currently equipped on a large scale by the army.

Some people may ask, since half of the five and six are out, why not just go to AK!

This is actually a matter of industrial capabilities and resources.

If all the troops use automatic firepower such as AK, the bullets are always likely to bring down Jiangdong, not to mention problems such as logistical supplies after entering the battlefield.

In the final analysis, it is still too poor.

Jiang Dong laughed and took out two more design drawings.

They are Type 56 submachine guns and Type 56 squad light machine guns.

This scene made Nie Xuechang and other people at the Firearms Research Institute so surprised that their eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Ahem..." Jiang Dong pretended to be modest,

"Director Nie and the others will take another look at these two drawings. I plan to produce the three guns together."

Nie Xuechang hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, okay..."

Fan Zhuxian did not move forward this time, but looked at Jiang Dong with resentful eyes.

Jiang Dong was stunned at first, but he immediately understood what Fan Zhuxian meant. He wiped his forehead, which had no sweat at all, and said boldly:

"Professor Fan doesn't need to look at me like this. Don't worry, give me some time. All the research institutes of the Academy of Military Sciences have...all..."

"Mr. Jiang, please work hard. I will pass on this good news in a moment. The artillery research institute, the armored vehicle and tank research institute, the medical laboratory... are all waiting for you to come and inspect."

Jiang Dong was really breaking out in a cold sweat now. He was bragging too much. He will be very busy in the future.

"This is a complete family of guns, including rifles, submachine guns, and squad machine guns. I hope that the Firearms Research Institute can cooperate with the military factory to produce prototype guns as soon as possible."

Jiang Dong said after Nie Xuechang and others read it.

"This is the last one, pistol, you guys should take a look at it too!"

Jiang Dong gave him too many surprises, and everyone was already used to this situation.

The pistol is naturally a May 4th-style pistol, and the family must be neat and tidy.

"Legion commander, if you give me 50 more people, I promise to produce the prototype gun within 10 days!"

Nie Xuechang looked at Jiang Dong, his eyes full of confidence.

Jiang Dong turned to look at Wang Xueqin,

"Director Wang, please help Director Nie resolve this request."

Wang Xueqin is basically in charge of civil affairs, so the recruitment of people will naturally be left to him.

Wang Xueqin shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was accidentally captured by Jiang Dong again.

"The Administrative Office will fully cooperate!"

"good!"
Chapter completed!
