Mu Yuan's idea shocked Li Ming and the other two. This plan was really too bold. Mu Yuan's army only had 100 people, and he wanted to take down a town. However, when he thought that this town had actually lost the strength to guard it, they were relieved.
They all looked at Mu Yuan. This man was really bold. He dared to use 100 people to challenge a 1,000-strong security team and even won. He even wanted to swallow Little Stone Town. This town had a permanent population of about 5000 people. It was not a small town. It needed at least 500 soldiers to suppress this town. Otherwise, the small warlords in the surrounding towns would definitely rob them once they knew that Shi Dayou of Little Stone Town had died in battle and that the guards of Little Stone Town had been lost. Was Mu Yuan not worried about this?
Or did he already have a strategy to deal with it?
After arranging everything, Mu Yuan went back to his room. His current military strength was actually quite good. After all, he had money and food, and he also had his own foundation. His foundation was naturally his 100 warriors. The army built by them, coupled with scientific training, would definitely not be weak.
The problem now was not the soldiers, but the weapons. It was fine if he did not have heavy weapons like cannons. After all, the other small warlords did not have them either. However, the problem now was that he did not even have enough weapons. He wanted to build a regiment-level force of about 2000 people, so he naturally needed at least 3000 rifles. The bandits and the previous security corps only had more than 1000 rifles.
They were all old barrels, made in Hanyang. They were from a few years ago. Many of their functions were no longer working. Some of the rifling lines were even smoothed out and could not be used at all. What he wanted was a unit that could fight and fight hard battles, not a hooligan army like the previous Security Corps.
That kind of army, Mu Yuan can pull it up now
Karis noticed that Mu Yuan's eyes were a little tired. When Mu Yuan entered the room, she walked over and pulled him back.
"Mr. Muyuan, you don't look too good. Do you have any troubles? Can you tell me?"
Mu Yuan turned around and smiled.
"Did Dr. Carice study psychology before?”
Of course, this was just a joke
However, Karis was puzzled.
"Mr. Muyuan, how did you know that I took psychology as my major? Although I don't seem to have any talent in psychology, I can really help you solve some problems."
" Dr. Carice, you really have a wide range of hobbies. I do have some troubles, but you can't solve them."
Mu Yuan then entered the room. Karis wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by two warriors at the door.
Mu Yuan, who came to the room, was not sleepy at all. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, thinking about something.
" Now, even if we play a game, we can only get 16 rifles at most. Even if we play five games a day, we can only get 80 rifles. There are also machine guns and cannons. Aiya, just thinking about it gives me a headache."
This was the first time Mu Yuan had a headache over such a thing. Previously, he thought that he had a lot of capital.
Now, it seemed that even building a 2000-man army would be difficult. Mu Yuan was not worried about people, but he was worried about weapons. Five games a day was already the limit. If he wanted to play, let alone whether Mu Yuan could bear it, even the game assistant would not allow him to play.
" There's only one way now. We can only buy it. It's very easy to buy guns in this era, but it's a little far away. There aren't many guns here. I'll ask Karis tomorrow."
As he spoke, Mu Yuan fell asleep.
Mu Yuan was not short of money. It could even be said that he was now a millionaire. He had a few hundred kilograms of silver, which could be used to make tens of thousands of silver dollars. A dozen kilograms of gold could be used to make more than 60 gold bars. This was only three days, and he had so many resources. In this era, it was easy to buy guns as long as you had money. It was just that it was not easy to buy guns in Sichuan Province.
After buying the guns, they had to transport them into Sichuan Province. Many guns were stopped by the surrounding provinces before they entered Sichuan Province.
Therefore, although it was easy to buy guns in this era, and there was no shortage of guns in China, Sichuan Province was in short supply because Sichuan Province was taken over by several provinces.
However, these questions were nothing to Mu Yuanlai Shui.
There were many soldiers in Sichuan Province, but their weapons were the worst among the surrounding provinces. Other than the terrain, there was also the problem of transportation.
The difficulty of Shu Road is not empty talk
These problems were all important problems that restricted Mu Yuan from developing his army. Shui Yue had also told him about this problem just now. In China, especially in Sichuan Province, there were wars everywhere. As long as they had food and guns, they could develop an army. They could even not be paid. As long as they could eat, they would work hard for you. However, Sichuan Province had no guns and no food. Although there was a lot of food in Shu Province, there were also many warlords in Shu Province. They had to pay a lot of taxes. Many families came all year round. I can't even support myself
Locust Tree Village was still better off and could barely make ends meet. Shi Dayou had heavy commercial taxes, so how much money could he collect from agricultural taxes?
After taking down Little Stone Town, Mu Yuan would be able to develop some crafts and commerce. As for industry, it was just a joke.
Not to mention industrial machinery, where could they find workers? In the game, one could use the number of soldiers to exchange for a Level 1 Mechanic. However, there were not enough soldiers now. It would be stupid to exchange for a Mechanic.
The series of questions made Mu Yuan's head hurt.
Early the next morning, Mu Yuan woke up very early and played five rounds of games. This time, he was very serious. Coupled with the improvement of his skills, he actually killed 80 opponents in five rounds.
When he thought of taking over Little Stone Town, Mu Yuan conjured 30 government officials.
Soldiers can't run a town.
Although all the places in Sichuan Province were basically under military control, Mu Yuan would never allow his own jurisdiction to use military control.
After five rounds of the game, Mu Yuan actually picked up 10000 bullets. In other words, Mu Yuan had picked up 2000 bullets in a single round. If Mu Yuan exchanged for bullets below 10mm, he could exchange for 1 million bullets.
However, it was almost impossible to exchange for 1 million bullets because the Thomas submachine gun also needed a lot of bullets.
The exchange ratio of bullets for this gun was 1:10. Mu Yuan was actually not very satisfied. A difference of 10 times was really too much of a loss.
However, one million bullets a day was enough for the 2000 Mu Yuan soldiers. After all, most of them would use rifles.
Mu Yuan would not equip the entire team with submachine guns. Mu Yuan could not afford it. Even if it was 100,000 submachine gun bullets a day, Mu Yuan could not afford it.
It was better to use a light machine gun and a rifle instead. The ratio of one submachine gun per class was already considered a high ratio of automatic weapons. During World War II, the United States also had one submachine gun per class, so Mu Yuan's arrangement was not a problem at all.
A team of 2000 people would need to be equipped with 200 Thomas submachine guns, 200 Lewis machine guns, 400 M1911 pistols, 200 Springfield sniper rifles equipped with sights, and 1400 ordinary Springfield rifles. This was the standard equipment. Adding on the ammunition and transportation tools, what other transportation tool in Sichuan Province could compare to a pack horse?
Mu Yuan could exchange a portion of these weapons from the game every day, but he could only purchase the Haruta-style rifles and the workhorse Mu Yuan, because it was much more cost-effective to purchase the rifles than to use the machine guns. In other words, if he wanted to equip an army of 2000 people, Mu Yuan would have to wait for a month to complete it.
This was the reason why he decided to take over Little Rock Town a month later.
Within a month, Little Stone Town will be under military control.
Fortunately, the residents of Little Stone Town had long been accustomed to the state of military control. Otherwise, there would really be trouble.
To build a real army in this era, the amount of money needed was really huge. Even if you had money, you might not be able to build a real army. This was because many weapons were not sold by other countries. Many weapons were actually smuggled from the people and not bought from official channels.
So the price will be taken advantage of
However, Mu Yuan had no other choice. Fortunately, he did not need to buy cannons now. Cannons were truly prohibited from entering China. Other than the government, which could buy a certain number of light cannons, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for civilians to smuggle a cannon.
Even the current Chinese government found it difficult to obtain enough cannons. The Shengyang Arsenal that shocked the entire Asia had not been established yet.
Therefore, it was difficult for the government to obtain all the heavy weapons in China from the outside world, let alone the civilians.
Fortunately, the Muyuan game had the option of artillery, so it was not difficult to obtain it. Light artillery meant that one could obtain an artillery below 105mm by killing five opponents in a single game, and one could conjure a heavy artillery with a caliber of 120mm to 210mm by killing ten opponents in a single game.
Now, Mu Yuan naturally couldn't conjure heavy cannons, and he didn't even want to conjure light cannons.
These things were too tempting to the small warlords nearby. Even the big warlords were tempted by the cannons.
Mu Yuan only had the pressure from the surrounding small warlords, so he naturally wouldn't provoke those big warlords.
