With the weapons and equipment seized from Wan Jia Town, the cavalry did not lack any supplies.
Lu Chen asked Jin Sheng Wu to cooperate with Sun Desheng to recruit a cavalry team of 200 people from the surrounding villages.
Let Sun Desheng start training as a recruit.
Sun Desheng was already an experienced cavalryman under Shi Yousan. He was skilled in cavalrymen and training soldiers.
Moreover, this guy had the habit of beating and punishing soldiers. Those cultured people couldn't stand this habit.
However, it was the most effective way to train new recruits.
Of course, Lu Chen also gave him a 'warning'. Kicking was fine, but not whipping.
An appropriate amount of physical punishment was desirable, but excessive punishment would not do!
On the other hand, Lu Chen had obtained 50 MP18 submachine guns from Wan Jia Town.
Lu Chen equipped the assault team with submachine guns.
It was the first time the assault team had seen such a convenient and efficient weapon. They were all extremely excited.
He worked even harder in the special training.
Just like that, another ten days passed. The training results of the militia were remarkable, especially the cavalry.
In the past few days, the villagers had also finished cleaning up and constructing the cave in the center of the town.
Lu Chen knew that the exciting moment was about to arrive.
After tidying up the cave, he asked the soldiers to move some of the machines used to produce bullets into the cave.
Lu Chen had mixed these machines and supplies together when he was cleaning up the Wan Family Town.
The soldiers did not know what kind of machine it was. They had not used it since they were transported back. Now that the cave was built, they received Lu Chen's orders.
They followed Lu Chen's orders and placed all the machines in the cave.
After doing all this, Lu Chen let the soldiers go out first while he carefully checked the equipment.
After ensuring that there were no problems, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Second Captain!"
Lu Chen called the captain of the second squadron over.
"Here!"
"Captain, what instructions do you have?"
"Get me all the best craftsmen in town. Also, get all the people who used to make ammunition reloading. I want to have a meeting.”
The captain of the second squadron was puzzled." Captain, what are you doing?”
"Cut the crap and go!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
In less than half a day, all the people in the town who met the requirements were gathered together.
Among these people, there were mostly aunties and uncles in their fifties or sixties, and there were also some young girls and boys who were clever.
Lu Chen gave a simple introduction and did not mention making bullets.
He only explained the mission situation first.
"My fellow villagers, I have brought everyone here today because I have an important task to discuss with everyone.”
"This mission is very difficult. Once you participate, you can't quit halfway without permission.”
"If you want to participate, you can sign up with me.”
Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, a few people below shouted.
"Captain, how difficult can this mission be? No matter how hard and tiring the days are, everyone has come. We're not afraid!”
"Yes, Captain, we're indebted to you. If it weren't for you, how could we have good food and drinks from every house in our town?”
"If you need anything, just say it. We won't say anything. As long as we can eat our fill, hahaha!”
Lu Chen also smiled and said,"It's definitely not a problem to have a full meal. You must be treated well!"”
"Since everyone has said so, let's go through the process.”
"Those who want to participate, come and register. Then I will select the suitable candidates from the members you have registered.”
Lu Chen's purpose for recruiting craftsmen was very simple. It was to manufacture and transport the ammunition produced.
At this stage, there was no high-power power supply device.
Manpower, animal power, and the power of the steam engine were required.
In the process of producing and arranging bullets, the shell needed to be carefully processed.
Without a power source, they could only rely on manual maintenance. They recruited skilled people to ensure that the bullet shells produced could reach the basic standard.
Moreover, the place where ammunition was produced was the most important place.
The fewer people who knew about it, the better. It was still fine for the team. If this kind of thing spread to the village, it would be easy for the news to leak out.
As such, once one became a bullet producer, they would have to maintain the machine in the cave to produce bullets. They would not be able to walk around freely.
Food and water would be delivered by specialized people. Their mission was to continuously produce bullets.
This was also why Lu Chen said that this was a difficult and important task.
The next day, Lu Chen selected the most skilled people from this group and went into the cave 'Munitions Factory.'
After telling them about the mission, their faces were filled with shock.
At the same time, there was also a sense of mission and honor.
He was determined not to disappoint the organization.
After introducing the usage of the machine, Lu Chen was not shy.
He directly let them experiment with it and make a version of the bullet to see the effect.
