Bright Sword: I built Italian cannons for Li Yunlong

Zhao Gang tried to dissuade him, but to no avail, especially Zhang Dabiao, who wasn't intimidated by Li Yunlong's use of his position as regimental commander to pressure him.

"Commander, Advisor Zhou said this thing is extremely dangerous. We can't let you get hurt."

"This dangerous work should be left to our men."

"Stop talking nonsense, you son of a bitch. When I was playing with grenades, you were still playing in the mud."

"And you, Lao Kong, what are you arguing with me about? Am I the regimental commander or are you the regimental commander?"

Kong Jie saw that Li Yunlong was being stubborn and wouldn't tolerate it.

"I also think Zhang Dabiao is right. Precisely because you are the regimental commander, you really can't handle this matter. If something goes wrong with you, Regimental Commander Li, then I, Old Kong, will be offended even more."

In the end, with two against one, Li Yunlong was eliminated early.

However, Li Yunlong was not one to suffer a loss. Since he, the regimental commander, couldn't set off firecrackers, then Kong Jie, the deputy regimental commander, naturally couldn't either.

Ultimately, the task of creating the Molotov cocktail fell to Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao, smugly carrying a Molotov cocktail, slowly approached the bunker.

He weighed the bottle in his hand, then lit the fuse at the bottle's opening with a torch.

Seeing the fuse lit, he even turned around and looked at Zhou Zhen.

"Advisor Zhou, now that it's lit, shouldn't we just throw it out like a hand grenade?"

This scene startled Zhou Zhen, who quickly shouted, "Zhang Dabiao, are you fucking asking for death? Throw him out right now!"

Zhang Dabiao watched the fuse burn at a rapid rate, but he did not panic.

"Watch closely."

He confidently assumed his throwing stance before throwing with all his might.

The terracotta pot arced through the air before crashing into the bunker and shattering, splattering a sticky substance everywhere.

When these gels come into contact with fire...

"boom!"

It wasn't an explosion, but a sudden burst of flame. A large patch of viscous flame spread out and clung firmly to sticks, thatch, and even stones, burning fiercely.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

The flames burned for a full four minutes before gradually subsiding. The scarecrow was now nothing but charred ash, and even the nearby stones crackled and popped from the heat.

The scene was deathly silent!

Li Yunlong's mouth was agape, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers watching were also dumbfounded.

"My goodness! It's burning so fiercely for so long!" Li Yunlong was the first to shout.

"If this thing burned a person, it would burn away even the bone fragments, right? This is way more powerful than the hand grenades we make in our border region!"

Kong Jie nodded vigorously beside him, his eyes filled with shock.

Zhang Dabiao was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling extremely frightened.

Fortunately, Consultant Zhou called out in time, and I managed to get rid of the fire quickly. If I had hesitated even a little, I would probably have lost half my body.

He glanced with lingering fear at Zhou Zhen, who was focused on his work not far away.

Unexpectedly, this usually handsome and refined Consultant Zhou...

The "ruthless work" they created is actually quite frightening.

He secretly rejoiced that he had never offended this person before, otherwise...

Zhao Gang witnessed such power firsthand, and his understanding was completely refreshed.

He had previously learned about Molotov cocktails from his teachers, which only burned for a dozen seconds and had limited use on the battlefield.

The napalm bomb in front of us was able to burn for nearly four minutes.

This means that within those four minutes, this area will become a death zone that no enemy dares to approach, creating a valuable window of opportunity for the battlefield.

Zhao Gang was a frank and upright man who made no secret of his previous wrong judgments, regardless of the presence of many officers and soldiers around him.

He immediately walked up to Zhou Zhen and said sincerely, "Comrade Zhou Zhen, I, Zhao Gang, was shallow before."

"The power of your Molotov cocktail is completely on a completely different level than anything I've ever seen."

"If this thing were used on the battlefield, our soldiers' casualties would definitely be reduced a lot."

'

"I apologize for my previous simplistic approach!"

Zhou Zhen quickly waved his hand: "Political Commissar Zhao, please don't say that. You were just following the rules; it was your duty."

"It's only natural that people are worried that this thing is not powerful enough or that it will be a waste of resources since they haven't seen it before."

"It's perfectly normal for comrades to have disagreements, and I believe there will be many more such discussions in the future."

"As long as everyone's goal is to make the revolutionary cause better, I think there's no need for comrades to hold grudges."

"Right now, we need to report the results of the experiment to the brigade commander and try to get the brigade to allocate more gasoline so we can produce more."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang gained a deeper understanding of the young comrade's knowledge and breadth of mind.

"Old Zhou is right, we need to get more of this stuff. I, Old Li, will report the good news to the brigade commander right away."

Kong Jie watched Li Yunlong rushing towards the communications room and chuckled, "That Li Yunlong is like a monkey; whenever something good happens, he's always the first to run."

Upon hearing this, the others burst into laughter.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong would occasionally show off in front of Zhao Gang.

"Old Zhao! I told you my brother is a capable scholar."

After obtaining the brigade commander's approval, Li Yunlong immediately went to Zhou Zhen, hoping that he could arrange production as soon as possible.

Zhou Zhen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lao Li, we'll arrange production right away."

"But this thing is dangerous to operate, so you can't rush it."

"If the soldiers are careless and cause an accident, and the incendiary bombs don't hit the enemy but instead injure their own men, then things will be in big trouble."

"Therefore, I need to give the logistics staff a thorough training and explain the procedures clearly, which will take some time."

Having witnessed its power and understood its dangers, Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! This thing is too dangerous. The brothers who manufacture it must strictly follow your rules."

"If any brat dares to disobey, I'll beat him to death."

Next, Zhou Zhen selected several quick-witted and meticulous soldiers from the army and villages and began intensive training for them.

The course focuses on explaining the operating procedures and the precautions for each step.

In particular, temperature control and hazard assessment are crucial during the final heating and mixing step.

He personally demonstrated the process multiple times and strictly supervised each person's operation until he was sure they could complete it independently and safely before he felt somewhat relieved to hand over the daily production tasks to them.

However, Zhou Zhen was still thinking that he needed to find a way to get a thermometer so that he could control the heating temperature more accurately and safely.

This matter was quickly reported to headquarters as an important situation.

"Fuck, that's awesome!" At headquarters, the boss couldn't help but swear after testing the samples delivered in the wasteland.

His face, however, betrayed his barely suppressed excitement and admiration.

"I knew it! Comrade Zhou Zhen is really capable."

"Hey, look how long it's been, and you've already tinkered with such an amazing thing."

"This is truly a lifesaver for us!"
