As the end of the year approached, the temperature in the twelfth lunar month in Ping Xiang became much colder. The ice and snow on the ground would not melt for a few months. However, the land of the Northern Country became more and more magnificent. Silver snakes danced in the mountains and wax elephants galloped in the plains. They wanted to compete with the heavens!
After another month of recruiting, the National Defense Infantry Regiment had finally completed the establishment of three infantry battalions. The total strength was close to 1,500 people. Other than the three independent infantry battalions, there was a heavy machine gun company made up of eight Maxim heavy machine guns, a cannon company made up of four 75mm mountain cannons, a communication company, a light heavy force, an engineering force, and a regiment headquarters of 120 people. The commander of the National Defense Infantry Regiment was Zhang Xueze himself!!
Zhang Xueze had to control the military. No matter what, he had to control the army firmly. The new 3rd Infantry Battalion would be responsible for patrolling and completing sufficient military training!!
In Pingxiang, the establishment of the Second Mill allowed more people to participate and earn higher income. The Chinese tunic suit that Zhang Xueze had personally improved was more suitable for the people's dressing habits. Zhang Xueze was currently wearing this kind of Chinese tunic suit. The current military and political higher-ups of Fengtian had another name for this improved Chinese tunic suit. It was called the Chinese tunic suit!
Little did they know that the Chinese clothing of the upper class of Fengtian was actually created by Zhang Xueze. Moreover, the origin was in Pingxiang. In order to monopolize the technology and prevent outsiders from imitating it, Zhang Xueze specially designed two corners as a way to confirm the authenticity. The design technology of the corner was also exchanged from the Red Alert Base. Most importantly, Zhang Xueze added a new material to each piece of fabric. It did not belong to Earth at all!
Now, the Pingxiang military government had invested in expanding the roads in Pingxiang County, especially the roads leading to Fengtian and Liaoyang. After every worker worked on the construction site, they would be recorded and could be used to exchange for phosphorous fertilizer, clothes from the textile mill, or grain seeds from the Pingxiang Agricultural Bureau. These could be given to the people working on the construction site for free!
Today, Zhang Xueze had gone to the Sea Sand Mountain. After some exploration, the iron ore reserves in the Sea Sand Mountain had reached an astonishing 10 trillion tons, enough for Zhang Xueze to establish a preliminary industrial system. Although he did not even have a steel smelting equipment, the iron ore in the Sea Sand Mountain was extremely pure. There was even a large amount of iron ore that did not need to be refined. Therefore, the Red Alert Base had been crazily absorbing iron ores for the past two days!!
"In ten days, we've refined 100 tons of iron metals, which is equivalent to ten units of metal minerals. The tank factory only needs 1000 units of metal minerals.”
"Honorable commander, without high-level metal ores, it will take a long time to accumulate 1000 units of metal ores. Besides, the 100 kg of gold that the commander plundered can also be exchanged for 1 cubic meter of metal ores. If you can find 1 ton of gold, you can exchange it for 100 cubic meters of metal ores. If you can find 10 tons of gold, you can exchange it for metal ores that are used to build war chariot factories!!”
Zhang Xueze was speechless. One ton of gold. He estimated that he would be able to gather so much gold after looting Fengtian City. Damn it, although the Red Alert Base was very powerful, it was a motherf * cking gold-devouring beast. Without huge financial resources, it was impossible to succeed!
If he had not been thick-skinned and borrowed another 20,000 yuan from Zhang Zuolin, Pingxiang County might not have been able to operate, especially in the early stages of construction. The huge investment made Zhang Xueze feel that a clever housewife could not cook a meal without rice!
However, Zhang Zuolin was not stingy. With a wave of his hand, 20,000 Yuan Datou were transported to Pingxiang County in less than half a day. The price was a new rifle design blueprint, which was more advantageous than the rifle blueprint made in Hanyang!
Little did he know that the shooting blueprint was just a copy of Zhang Xueze's original drawing. However, all the manufacturing details were exactly the same. Wasn't Fengtian Munitions Factory just established? There had to be a few weapons and equipment that could be used. The new rifle was the best gift!
"Salute!"
The original bandit lair on Mount Haisha had been transformed into the newest arsenal by Zhang Xueze. It belonged to the National Defense Infantry Regiment and was currently developing a new rifle. The original blueprint was a 98K shooting rifle, and after some minor improvements, the structure of the gun body was more reasonable. Other than that, the design of this new rifle made Zhang Xueze extremely satisfied!
There was an intoxicating smell of ink. Because the rifle body was made of walnut wood, it could ensure its appearance and reduce the cost. It was killing two birds with one stone. Why not?
The two young soldiers belonged to the 2nd Battalion of the National Defense Infantry Regiment. When they saw Zhang Xueze, their eyes were filled with admiration. In just two months, he had built Ping Xiang into such a state. Such a shocking and magnificent construction was truly a huge miracle!
The lights in the arsenal were a little dim. However, a complete rifle production line could still be seen. It was in operation, and the sound of the machine's roar rose and fell. The collision of steel and iron seemed to make Zhang Xueze's blood beat wildly. His blood was burning. It was the strongest sound of the era. The first rifle with independent property rights in the northeast was officially born!!!
The temperature inside the military factory was relatively high. Zhang Xueze wiped the sweat off his forehead. The sweat was flowing. Zhang Xueze stared at the rolling tracks. Using the assembly line production method could maximize production efficiency!! this
"Regiment commander, I estimate that in another half an hour, the first rifle will be ready. Due to the use of new technology, the cost of each new rifle is nearly 40% lower than the cost of the ones made in Hanyang. Moreover, because we produce them ourselves, we can equip the army at the lowest cost and use them to expand the National Defense Infantry Regiment in the future!!”
Zhang Xueze nodded in agreement. The production of the new rifle was indeed praiseworthy!
"Then I'll wait here. When the first rifle goes offline, I'll personally do the experiment and get the shooting report!!”
