In a few days, the foundation of the factory had been built. At the same time, inside some tents were the locations where the machinery was manufactured.
Because Mu Yuan had given 20 manufacturing talents to the wood spirit, the wood spirit's manpower was a little looser.
The difference between these talents and the wood spirits was that they were good at their own professional skills, but they didn't know much about other aspects.
When the Mu people arrived at the Snake Head Mountain, the wood spirit was dressed in a set of work clothes and was waiting for him at the entrance of the Snake Head Mountain with a few technicians.
Mu Zimin walked over and looked at the construction of Snake Head Mountain. He smiled and said,"You're fast. It's only been a week, and you've already built it to this extent. It seems like your standards are indeed very high."
The Wood Spirit calmly nodded." Are these the spoils you obtained from this trip?”。
Mu Zimin smiled and nodded,"I killed a lot of people this time. Now, I've really become a real butcher."
Mu Zimin mocked himself.
" It's fine, as long as we kill the people who deserve to be killed. Someone has to do these things. We can't let the commander do it himself, right?"
Mu Zimin laughed." Look at what you're saying. I'm just lamenting. How can I really let the commander do it? Then wouldn't I be trash? "Alright, this trip's harvest is indeed quite big. There's also a lot of silver. After deducting the military expenditure and a portion of the reserve funds, there's still a large sum of money left.
Go and apply to the commander to invest this money into the construction of these factories. At the very least, you can increase the speed of construction."
" This time, I discovered a problem. We don't have any heavy firepower. Even with the ZB-26 light machine gun, its firepower isn't as durable as a heavy machine gun. I hope you can build a heavy machine gun as soon as possible."
" There's also the problem of bullets. This time, we used up close to 10,000 bullets. Even though we replenished 10,000 bullets from the bandits 'lair, we can't always use this method to replenish them. We really have to build the arsenal as soon as possible."
This time, Mu Zi Min realized that his troops had consumed a lot of ammunition.
However, it was very difficult to buy firearms in this era.
It would be even more difficult to purchase them in large quantities. Moreover, during this period of time, foreign countries had imposed an arms ban on the country.
At most, they could only buy some Hanyang guns, but the performance of these guns could not meet their needs.
Many warlords had to line up to get their hands on it.
Therefore, the Mu people really hoped that the arsenal could be built as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would have to rely on external sources to supply their ammunition.
In fact, Mu Yuan had already placed an order for 100,000 rounds of bullets from the foreign firm in Shanghai yesterday. However, these bullets would only arrive at the end of the year.
Moreover, they might be robbed along the way.
There were still a few months before the end of the year.
Fortunately, the reinforced company had replenished 200,000 rounds of ammunition, enough for the next few months.
The wood spirit was also the commander of the army, so it naturally understood the urgency of ammunition.
However, he still had to discuss it with Mu Yuan.
" Alright, I understand. I'll discuss this with the commander. I'll help these people arrange their accommodation first. You've worked hard this time. I've already prepared food and hot water for the soldiers to have a good rest."
Mu Zi Min nodded.
In the Wood Mansion, Mu Yuan was currently reading a book.
The wood spirit had bought him some military books.
Master, you have a gift bag."
Mu Yuan put down the book in his hand and calmly said in his heart,"Open it."
"Master, your army has eliminated a total of 147 enemies this time. You have obtained 147 Class 1 talents. Do you want to exchange them now?”。
Mu Yuan nodded,"147, looks like this battle is quite intense."
" In the last battle, we only killed 25 of them.
Mu Yuan thought for a moment and said," Give me 57 talents in the field of metals, 40 talents in the field of military command, 20 talents in the field of military training, 20 talents in the field of mechanical manufacturing, and 10 talents in the field of electricity."
Because the wood spirits had already started to make electric furnaces to make steel.
His level had increased a little too quickly.
Mu Yuan felt that he needed an assistant in this area.
As long as the electric furnace was successful, high-strength alloy steel could be refined.
In other words, he could make cannons.
Of course, these were just Mu Yuan's speculations. He wasn't too sure if it was feasible or not.
Wood Spirit's words were feasible. This was his plan.
The System replied," Alright, Master. What kind of weapon and equipment do you choose for a military talent?”。
Mu Yuan thought for a moment," 10 of them will be equipped with ZB-26 light machine guns, 10 with Thomas submachine guns, and the remaining 40 will be equipped with VZ24 rifles."
Unlike rifles, the ZB-26 light machine gun was equipped with 3000 rounds of ammunition, while the Thomas submachine gun was equipped with 2000 rounds of ammunition.
Therefore, Mu Yuan's army had 30 ZB-26 light machine guns, 30 Thomas submachine guns, and 205 VZ24 rifles.
Muyuan thought for a moment." Now that we've recruited 200 people, the number of soldiers in the army has expanded to 400. If these people join us, we'll have 460 people. However, the expanded soldiers are still holding old-fashioned rifles made in Hanyang."
" These guns have been used for a long time. There are some safety issues and their performance can't compare to the VZ24 rifle."
" Looks like I'll have to buy some rifles. It shouldn't be too difficult to buy 200 made in Hanyang."
Because the warlords in the country were still fighting, the demand for weapons was extremely high.
Mu Yuan didn't think he could purchase enough Hanyang products.
"Although the performance of the Hanyang gun isn't very good, it's not to the extent that it can't be used. We just need a new gun, but who will sell the new gun?”。
Mu Yuan felt a headache coming on.
After thinking about it, Mu Yuan smiled bitterly and said,"Forget it, let's wait for a while more. 265 soldiers are enough to maintain the security of An Min Town. As for the new recruits, let them train. They won't be able to use them for at least a year."
Mu Yuan needed elite soldiers, not cannon fodder.
After making arrangements for everyone to leave, Mu Yuan came to the military camp.
The military camp was currently undergoing renovation. The training ground, shooting range, and rest area were all professional barracks that were not available in the previous Security Corps military camp.
Mu Yuan spent 10,000 silver dollars and mobilized 500 laborers to build the building according to the design given by Mu Chengzhi.
Now, most of the army lived in the Mu family's barracks. This was where the Mu family's guards used to live.
When he arrived at the military camp, Mu Yuan saw Mu Chengzhi training the soldiers.
He watched from the side.
Mu Cheng Zhi soon discovered Mu Yuan.
After handing over the training of the soldiers to his assistant, he came to Mu Yuan.
Commander, you're here."
Mu Yuan nodded and smiled." I've added 60 soldiers for you. 40 of them are for military command and 20 for military training. You can arrange for them later."
Mu Chengzhi smiled." You've come at the right time, Commander. However, we have to quickly solve the problem of ammunition. Moreover, the recruits are using the old-fashioned Hanyang guns, and the training effect isn't that good."
Mu Yuan smiled bitterly and said,"How could I not want to? It's just that Kang Yuan doesn't have anyone who specializes in selling firearms. If you want to buy it, you have to go to Shu or Chubei Province. Moreover, you have to transport it over. It's impossible to get there without five months."
" In five months, Wood Spirit might have already built the arsenal, so I think it's better to endure for a while."
The army's needs were not particularly urgent, so Mu Cheng Zhi nodded and said," Yes, Commander, it's good that you have a plan. Mu Zi Min is back. He might have brought back something good. Do you want to take a look?”。
Originally, the mission of exterminating the bandits should have been Mu Cheng Zhi's responsibility.
However, he was in charge of the recruit training mission at that time, so he did not go. He still preferred to fight. Recruit training was fine as long as there were specially trained military personnel.
