Chapter 353 Mas35

An hour later, Taiyuan Governor's Mansion.

"Dawali, I'm glad that we can still drink and chat like before."

"But I'm very sorry, I have to be a spoilsport today. Conscience and the sense of responsibility of a soldier have been torturing my spirit, and they don't allow me to continue to sink."

"My motherland is being ravaged by the enemy, and my compatriots are being destroyed by the war. You should understand how I feel now, right?"

Lao Cui's words made the whole restaurant fall into silence instantly.

Everyone present is a well-known figure in the Eighth Route Army, and naturally they are aware of the current situation of the Eastern Front in Europe. To put it bluntly, the north is now like a candle in the wind, and no one knows what will happen next.

As if to take care of the feelings of his allies and to avoid the atmosphere on the scene from falling into a deadlock, the deputy chief of staff spoke in time:

"Comrade Cui, our Eighth Route Army is very aware of the current situation in the north. This time we invite you to Taiyuan to discuss the specific content of the lease plan in person."

"Since you are not in the mood for socializing at the moment, let's go straight to the shooting range now."

"All our weapons in service are at your disposal. I guarantee that you can submit a perfect report and experience of use to your superiors afterwards."

As soon as these words came out, Old Cui immediately became energetic, and his whole complexion improved a bit.

The current Eighth Route Army is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. They have the potential to reach the top of the world in some areas.

If the other party sincerely sells kidneys to aid the Soviet Union, then the situation in the motherland will inevitably see a new turn, and there will even be a chance to concentrate troops to achieve a counterattack on some battlefields.

"Okay! Let's set off quickly."

"I will definitely cherish this opportunity and carefully experience every standard weapon of your army!"

Hearing this, the deputy chief of staff nodded. He first ordered the guard to prepare the car, and then called the communicator to contact Huang He.

The next trip will involve a variety of weapons, and it is natural that a professional will be needed to introduce them. This candidate must be the director of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau.

When Lao Cui arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he saw Huang He who had been waiting for a long time.

"Huang, I never thought that we could meet in Taiyuan. When we were in Shancheng, Makarov often mentioned your story!"

"To be honest, everyone underestimated your ability. For any force, an excellent scientist is more powerful than the combat power of three infantry divisions. Losing you is the biggest loss of the Second Special Design Bureau since its establishment."

Hmm?

Lao Cui's opening remarks made everyone present full of questions. Even Huang He, the person involved, did not expect that the old Russian in front of him actually knew him.

But in a blink of an eye, this matter can actually be traced.

This senior army general and Makarov both participated in the Soviet-Finnish Winter War two years ago. In addition, the latter had served as the highest person in charge of the transport team, so the two of them would definitely have exchanges in their work and life.

Moreover, every researcher working in the Second Special Design Bureau would leave files and photos when they joined the company.

With Lao Cui's identity and status, it would be too easy to get someone's personal information.

After a moment, Huang He shook the other party's hand and said:

"Haha, Mr. Cui, you are too kind. I am just a researcher with no power, how can I compare with three infantry divisions."

"By the way, do you have any recent news about Makarov? I have lost contact with him since the last time we met. After all, communication in wartime is really not guaranteed."

Faced with Huang He's question, this army general with a particularly long name could only respond with a wry smile.

"I don't know. If it was arranged originally, he should have held his retirement ceremony in Smolensk."

"But you know the current situation. Due to the fierce enemy offensive, my motherland has been forced to start a national mobilization."

"Veterans like Makarov will definitely be recalled by their original units. As for whether they will become recruit trainers or reserve officers, it depends on the specific arrangements of the war zone."

Although Huang He was mentally prepared, it was still difficult to accept the bad news. At this moment, the cruelty of war was vividly reflected.

As if he noticed that there was a problem with the atmosphere, the deputy chief of staff came to the rescue in time. He first pulled the two people's arms into the car, and then changed the subject and said:

"Okay, good people will have good luck, your friends will definitely be safe."

"Let's go quickly, the shooting range has been prepared. Let's go and come back quickly, now time is life."

"Okay!"

······

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the weapons test site in the southwest of Taiyuan.

As soon as he got off the car, Lao Cui was dazzled by the various infantry equipment. He trotted to the shooting position and couldn't wait to pick up a pistol.

"This should be the French Mas35. I didn't expect that your Eighth Route Army still has this kind of out-of-print goods. From the appearance and feel alone, it is not inferior to the TT-33 at all."

"A good start! Coming to Taiyuan must be the wisest choice of my life! We are in great need of pistols!"

Mas35 is a new equipment unlocked by Huang He through the system. It absorbs the advantages of Browning in design concept and is a mature semi-automatic self-defense weapon.

As we all know, the Russians have an incomprehensible obsession with pistols and revolvers, which is why the headquarters uses it to lead the charge.

Hearing what Lao Cui said, the deputy chief of staff and Huang He couldn't help but frowned.

Logically speaking, as a powerful country with strong industrial strength, the North itself cannot have a shortage of basic equipment. After all, they determine the lower limit of an army to a certain extent.

Taking advantage of the gap between the allies testing guns, the two came to the pavilion on the side.

"Huang He, it seems that we still underestimated the cruelty of the Eastern Front in Europe. I never expected that they would be so short of guns."

"Although it's not good to say this, our chance is really here! Are you confident about the equipment for the finale?"

In fact, the lack of guns and equipment in the North was mainly concentrated in the early stages of the war.

Due to the rapid advancement of the German Third Army, the three major military regions lost a large amount of basic equipment in 1941. In a sense, now is indeed the best time to send charcoal in the snow.

Hearing the inquiry of the deputy chief of staff, Huang He nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, the things I prepared this time are all the right medicine. With Lao Cui's vision, he will definitely be able to perceive the value of this batch of treasures." (End of this chapter)
