The battalion commander level meeting in the morning had finally ended. Everyone had their own clear goals, so Liancheng Li was idle for the time being. Just as he was about to go to his tent to see the two ladies, the chief of staff arrived. Looking at this energetic young man, Liancheng Li thought to himself maliciously," How did his brain grow? How could he be so energetic all day long?"
" Master, since the military camp has been settled, shouldn't we discuss the arsenal?" Gong Ziqiang held a map of the mineral distribution in Shan State of Myanmar and instructed Li Liancheng.
" Yes, I almost forgot. This matter is the key to whether our army can be formed in half a year. We have to solve the issue of the arsenal immediately," Li Liancheng said as he walked to the map of Myanmar to see where to set up the arsenal.
The primary focus of this arsenal should not be production, but safety. Only under the premise of ensuring the safety of the arsenal could it play its role. Otherwise, if it was destroyed by the enemy midway, the army would have to surrender to Taiwan again without strong support. The secondary focus should be the distribution of minerals. To produce ammunition, its raw materials were mainly sulfur, nitre, glycerine, etc. These were relatively easy to find and process, but the production of shell cases required copper. It was not difficult to find it in Myanmar, but the production was much slower. It could only produce enough for one battalion a day. In other words, if it was produced continuously for half a year, it could only supply three regiments with 20 days of combat needs. The task was very difficult.
This year, they could only make do with it. Only after stabilizing next year could they cooperate with France to solve this problem.
" Then let's set it in Jingli. There are many mountains around this place. We can design the arsenal in the mountains. This way, it's easy to defend against air and the enemy won't be able to find it easily. Moreover, the mines in the mountains are evenly distributed. There are everything. Although there aren't many, it's enough for us to use," Li Liancheng pointed at Jingli's map and said to Gong Ziqiang.
" As for the factory manager of the Munitions Factory, let Xu Jin do it. Didn't he always say that there's no use for a hero? Now that there's a use for him, if he doesn't manage it well, he won't make a fuss in the future."
" Then don't transfer a special forces unit over. I feel that they are the only ones capable of defense," Gong Ziqiang suggested. The special forces unit could only be commanded by Li Liancheng. Without Li Liancheng's permission, no one could transfer a single soldier, not even him, the chief of staff.
But even so, Gong Ziqiang was just curious. They were just a little stronger than the average person, right? What was the use in facing thousands of troops? As for why his teacher was so attentive, he didn't know. This was purely a person from the modern world who was doing things in his heart. On television, people often talked about how powerful the special forces were. After hearing it too much, it became a subconscious, as if the special forces were omnipotent.
" Then let Lin Qi assign one of his battalions to Xu Jin. I think they're the most suitable in the mountainous areas. Then, transfer a battalion from the independent regiment to him. As for the workers, we'll choose them from their families," Li Liancheng said after some thought.
Speaking of which, even though he was at ease letting the regiment commanders lead their troops into battle alone, there were still some protective measures. For example, the intelligence department that Hu Zi was in charge of had played a particularly important role in the past. As they had obtained a large amount of gold and silver when they retreated from the mainland, they had ample funds and quickly established an intelligence network that included both inside and outside the army. Its main focus was on the inside of the army, while the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff Department focused on external war targets. The two intelligence departments did not belong to each other. They also worked together to control the entire army. No one could privately mobilize soldiers.
This ensured the safety of the troops and protected the officers who were not very determined.
