Lin Ling received the report and smiled."" That's my overall report and next year's goal. We will be your most solid base camp and fight the battle of logistics, commerce, and industry!”
Lu Yao smiled and nodded." Very good. We need to invest more next year, but we don't have much money left, so we have to have our own channels to produce blood. This year's investment will be the cornerstone for next year's flowering, so don't be arrogant and continue to maintain it. We will be even more successful!”
"Yes, I will continue to work hard!" Lin Ling quickly said.”
At this moment, Chen Xi also stood up." Let me explain our current sphere of influence. Currently, we control a total of Chongqing, Sichuan, Enshi, Shiyan, Guizhou, Zunyi, Tongren, Qianxinan, Liupanshui, Yunnan, Diqing, Lijiang, Shaanxi, Ankang, Hanzhong, and Gansu.
It is estimated that next year, we will officially take control of the six regions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, which means that almost the entire southwest region will be under our control. Therefore, the investment next year will be even greater, and our burden will also be even greater. In view of the current situation, we have already reached the most difficult period. Our funds are no longer enough to guarantee the development of the six regions. We can only try our best to adapt to local conditions and give full play to their characteristics. We will invest a lot of money in necessary places. We will only be able to officially establish ourselves in the southwest after next year, so please be alert. The darkest period before dawn has arrived!”
Lu Yao sighed." You always pour cold water on us when we're happy. However, this basin of cold water is timely. Let's talk about military manufacturing!”
Chen Xi also smiled at this time,"The results are remarkable. With our large investment, we are now able to produce 2000 rifles per month. Next year, we will continue to increase production. In addition, the bullet factory is even better. Currently, the MG-08 heavy machine gun bullets we use can already meet the normal training needs, but the reserve is not enough. We already have some surplus of ordinary bullets. Next year, we will aim to have enough ammunition reserves for 50,000 people to start a war!
The construction of the cannon factory is also constantly increasing production. At present, our new mortars have been produced. Currently, there are only two types of 51mm and 60mm. The howitzer has only produced 75mm. The main problem is that the cannon steel is not up to standard. The quality of our own production is too poor, so we are still not very good in this aspect.
The shells are still okay because we are using a new type of smokeless gunpowder technology, which is called TNT. It is a colorless or light yellow crystal. It is odorless and has moisture absorption. Its melting point is 354K (80.9C). It is explosive and is one of the best explosive components.
Each kilogram of TNT could produce 4.2 million joules of energy. It is worth noting that TNT releases less energy than fat (38MJ/kg) and the sugar TNT (17MJ/kg), but it releases energy very quickly. This is because it contains oxygen and can be used as a combustion improver. It does not need oxygen from the atmosphere.
So our shells are more powerful, and we've applied this technology to grenades, and we've gotten even more use out of it. We've also created a new type of grenade launcher that only needs one person to operate. Now every platoon in the army is equipped with this grenade launcher.
Our sniper scope production will be mass-produced in 3-5 months. By then, the army will have a large number of 2x, 3x, and 4x mirrors. We have also specially modified a batch of sniper rifles and equipped them with professional sniper bullets.
In the production of military supplies, we have produced battlefield rations suitable for soldiers to eat. One is nutrient solution, which is formulated by the laboratory and is rich in various nutrients needed by the human body. There are also compressed biscuits and pickles.
As we were established early in the production of military uniforms, we currently have 100,000 sets in stock. However, we have recently spent a lot of money, so we will ensure the use of this piece.
Steel helmets and water bottles are also our main focus. Steel helmets are still okay. Currently, there is enough steel supply, so the production of steel helmets is enough for the troops to use.
The kettle uses local characteristics. The kettle made of bamboo and aluminum wire can maintain the water quality for a long time, especially in the summer of Bashu. We have tested it. If it is an iron or steel kettle, the water quality will only be maintained for 3 - 5 days before it will have a stench. However, this kettle can maintain the water quality for 7 - 10 days. In addition, it is simple to make. It has been put into the civilian market and has received a lot of praise.
There are also a large number of weapons and so on that exist in the laboratory. They haven't been officially established yet, so I won't talk about it for now.
Lu Yao nodded." The development of the military industry needs to be sustained, especially the cultivation of talents. We must also establish a specialized logistics officer academy and a military university from next month. We will specially cultivate talents and will provide financial support!”
"Understood!" Chen Xi nodded.”
At this moment, Xu Zhan stood up and said with a smile,"Commander, I am responsible for reporting the military situation to you. Currently, we have a total of 70,000 soldiers and 15000 armed police.
The military is divided into four divisions and two brigades, a mountain division, a plateau division, a field division, an artillery brigade, a jungle division, a special forces brigade, a logistics support brigade, and a base guard force. Currently, we are still expanding. Our goal is to form three more divisions this year, a field division, a jungle division, and a desert division. The desert division is a special force for Xinjiang and other places. It is estimated that our troops will expand to about 120,000 this year!
The armed police force had two divisions, mainly for urban warfare and disaster relief. This year, they would also expand another division.
It is estimated that the total number of soldiers we can mobilize will reach 150,000. The soldiers are mainly distributed in the southwest and other places.
In addition, we have already established a new air force, a regiment. In order to deal with new weapons, we would rather have people wait for weapons than weapons wait for people. Airship technology is about to mature, which is also the direction of our future expansion.
A regiment of naval personnel is mainly recruited for those who are familiar with the water. They will be specially trained for a year, so General Sa, you will soon have someone under you. Please graduate from the academy as soon as possible!
Commander, this is our expansion for the new year!”
