Chapter 346 Life in the Republic of China in the Age of Chaos 04
"I don't support their policy of assistance, so naturally they want to kill me to silence me."
Peng Hengzhang said lightly, but the danger in it is estimated that only he himself knows.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. The Japanese are not kind."
Peng Hengzhang nodded, "Yes, everyone understands this truth, but many people are short-sighted. They take a little profit and ignore the national justice."
"It is rare for Commander Peng to be so calm."
"I, Old Peng, don't lack this. How we split internally and how we occupy the mountaintops are our own business. It is not the turn of outsiders to interfere!"
[This Commander Peng still has integrity. Thinking of some people who surrendered to the enemy in history, I am so angry that my liver hurts. I really don't understand. ]
[This Commander Peng is not bad. The anchor can cooperate with him. Jiang Lan also
had this idea. The Peng family was the most suitable partner for her now.
He was not only dissatisfied with the Japanese, but also had a certain confrontation with the Gu family.
"Commander Peng, are you interested in doing something big?"
"Oh, interesting, let's go to the study to talk, there are many people here."
This meeting was later called the Dawn Meeting, and this century of cooperation kicked off.
No one knows what Jiang Lan and Peng Hengzhang talked about that day.
But from that day on, the Peng family army began to train in the mountains and cleared out the bandits in the entire area.
Few people paid attention to the fact that more than a dozen homeless children in the city disappeared, and no one knew where they went.
At the same time, several kind people in the city who often did good deeds received a considerable sum of money.
This money came inexplicably, as if it fell from the sky.
J City is still the territory of Marshal Gu. Commander Peng cannot occupy the entire city, but taking a few people away is not difficult at all.
Jiang Lan always remembers her mission, and she will never give up J City.
Although she had no choice but to take a group of friends away first, she knew that she would definitely come back.
The power of the Peng family is concentrated in P City. Although this city is not as prosperous as J City, the public security is better and the people's lives are better.
Jiang Lan and a group of street children temporarily live in the yard prepared for them by Peng Hengzhang.
Of course, this is just a temporary stay.
When the arsenal is built, they will all move to the deep mountains and forests.
"Jiang girl, what's going on?"
The group of beggars were confused. They had been in J City for a long time. They didn't know why they were brought to P City by the military commander. They were a little uneasy for a while.
Zhang Xiaoyu was the leader of the children and the calmest one.
"Jiang girl, what agreement did you reach with the military commander? These soldiers are not easy to mess with. Are you sure?"
Originally, he could not come. He was also a member of a gang, and ordinary people could not do anything to him.
But he was really worried about these people, so he followed them.
"Brother Xiaoyu, don't worry, I know what's going on, and Commander Peng is very polite to us, so at least we won't be bullied here."
"Not only is he very polite, he also sent us a lot of food, so we don't have to go hungry anymore. This is the first time in my life that I have a full meal every day, it's great."
"Yes, yes, these days are like a dream."
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at everyone's satisfied expressions, and worried words froze on his lips.
"Brother Xiaoyu, the worst case scenario is that we will lose our lives. What else is there to be afraid of?"
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded. "I know that in the eyes of the nobles, we are just worthless dust, so I am even more worried. They are so good to us, what do they want us to do?"
"Brother Xiaoyu, don't worry, you will know in the future."
One month later, Jiang Lan and a group of beggars moved into the arsenal in the mountains. From now on, this will be their home and their workplace.
"What is this place?" It
is located in a remote place and is heavily guarded. It is not simple at first glance.
"This is an ordnance factory, specializing in making weapons. We will work here in the future."
"We?" Zhang Xiaoyu was a little unbelieving, "But we don't know how to do it."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, I'll teach you."
Jiang Lan has a special laboratory, and she doesn't consider telling others about some confidential things for the time being.
In case someone has the intention of betrayal and leaks the secrets.
The remaining assembly work is relatively not very advanced, and these children can help complete it and get a certain amount of labor remuneration.
Working here is not only safe, but also more comfortable. Except for the lack of freedom, other aspects are still very good.
"Brother Xiaoyu, how do you feel about working here? If you still want to go out and join a gang, I can help you think of a way."
Jiang Lan was not too worried about the others. After all, they were all very young children, and their ideas were not so positive. As long as they had food and drink, they would be satisfied.
Zhang Xiaoyu was an adult and had some brains, but Jiang Lan was a little confused about his ideas.
"Jiang girl, what are you thinking? Who is willing to live a life of blood and knife under certain conditions?"
Zhang Xiaoyu joined the gang just to seek a blessing. When he first joined the gang, he also had unrealistic fantasies.
He thought that he could make a name for himself with his own strength.
But later he realized that they were just cannon fodder used by the upper echelons to fill the lives of people, and good opportunities would never come to them.
Zhang Xiaoyu had been in the gang not long ago, but his partners had already died several times.
He was lucky to be alive today, and he was also injured a lot.
Compared with life, freedom is nothing, not worth mentioning at all.
Jiang Lan understood what Zhang Xiaoyu meant, and silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
She was really afraid that she would raise enemies for their own good.
The world is too chaotic right now, and she really can't let everyone do as they please.
When she becomes stronger in the future, many things can be arranged.
Now everyone should just get by as best they can, safety is more important than anything else.
After Jiang Lan finished talking to Zhang Xiaoyu, she also talked to the other children. After the ideological work was done, she started the experiment.
The weapons used now are very low-level things in Jiang Lan's opinion.
The most common guns nowadays are inferior products produced by obsolete technology that Yanjing country fooled the Chinese people into buying at a high price.
This gun has a full-length barrel sleeve. The gun uses 7.92mm bullets, with a total length of 955mm, a range of 1800m, and can only accommodate 5 bullets.
Jiang Lan thought that this type of gun had obvious flaws. It had a rotating bolt, double front bolts, and was manually operated, which made it bulky. In addition, the gun had no bayonet and had poor flexibility.
In response to the current situation, Jiang Lan decided to design a rifle with a longer body, less recoil, semi-automatic, lighter, and more suitable for hand-to-hand combat in China.
