The name of the Xingzhong Rifle had been officially decided. Its performance had passed a series of tests and had been recognized. They began to recruit workers on a large scale, and after training, they would begin assembly line production.
That night, Lin Shu exchanged many models of firearms from the system. Mauser 98K, G34 rifle, STG44 assault rifle, P919, P8, MG42, Thompson Charge, Bren Light Machine...
Handguns, rifles, assault rifles, submachine guns, sniper rifles, he had exchanged for a few types of them.
The newly summoned 20 firearms experts were brought to Chen Dong's place and ordered to study them thoroughly and try to produce a small number.
He only needed dozens or hundreds of them to be thoroughly researched and manufactured.
For this, he spent nearly 1,000 contribution points.
But Lin Shu did not feel bad at all, because it was worth it. If he wanted to fully master the gun making technology that was more advanced than the current countries, it was not enough to just master Garland.
It was the same as solving a math problem. If you only knew how to solve one problem, no matter how brilliant you were, it would be useless because you would only know one solution.
If you didn't know how to adapt and didn't know the core, you would immediately be dumbfounded when you encountered a small change.
Only by solving a large number of questions of the same type could one be able to master them and understand their own thoughts. Then, in the future, when they encountered similar questions, no matter how it changed, it would not be difficult for them.
It was the same principle for making guns, cannons, tanks, planes, and warships. Only by knowing more could one gather the strengths of hundreds of schools and avoid the weaknesses of all parties to build the most powerful and advanced weapons.
In an instant, the entire Luan County began a vigorous recruitment operation. Not only Luan County, but the entire Tang Shan Prefecture and even more than half of Jizhou had a large number of people from the Big Tree Company distributing flyers.
Recruitment notice:
In the southeast of Luan County, Tang Shan Prefecture, the Big Tree Firearms Company was recruiting gun-making workers aged 18 to 48. Experienced workers were given priority. The salary…
In Siying Village, Luan County, Tang Shan Prefecture, the Big Tree Garment Company was looking for workers who could make and deliver clothes. Age: 18 - 48. Experience or not, salary…
At the bottom of each flyer, there was a line of eye-catching red words: Luanxian County Defense Force is recruiting a large number of patriots to join. The salary…the quota is limited. Those who are interested should go and register as soon as possible.
In the Tang Mountain Prefecture, a tall, handsome, and determined young man received the flyer in his hand.
After reading the contents of the flyer several times without missing a single word, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
"Sigh, those damn warlords only know how to fight for each other's territory. They don't know how to develop the economy and technology. From 1840 to now, sixty years of guns and humiliation have yet to wake up the people in power.”
"If this internal friction continues, even if there are warlords who can actually unify the country in the future, it will only be a wedding dress for the foreigners.”
"Damned warlords, each of them is smarter than the other in their internal strife, but they don't even have a long-term view of the situation as compared to a county's mayor.”
"Last year, I heard that a young genius appeared in Luan County and invested all the money earned from foreigners into local construction. It is estimated that in just half a year, Luan County's economic strength exceeded the entire Tang Shan Prefecture by more than double.”
"Moreover, there is a steel mill there. Just this alone is ten thousand times better than those warlords.”
Thinking of this, the young man wrote a letter to his superior and asked for two days of leave. He planned to go to Luan County to see what was going on.
On the other side, the chief of the Tang Shan Prefecture, Zhou Xu, stared at the news about the private expansion of Luan County's army sent by his subordinates, and his expression turned cold.
"I originally thought that this child was a young talent, but I didn't expect him to be a traitor. He actually expanded the army privately.”
"Bring some men and capture him alive. If he rebels, execute him on the spot. All his assets will be confiscated and I will hand them over to my superiors.”
As he spoke, Zhou Xu revealed a greedy expression.
" This..." The subordinate hesitated for a long time." I'm afraid it's not easy. According to the report from my subordinates, this person has no less than two regiments of troops, and their weapons are all bought from the West. They are very advanced."”
"Two groups?" Zhou Xu was furious when he heard that. With a loud slap, he slapped his subordinate's face and roared," Then why didn't you report it earlier? Two regiments with four to five thousand people? F * ck, I only have this few people.”
" They were very secretive before, so we didn't notice them," the man said carefully with a sad face.
"Trash, scram!"
Zhou Xu chased his men out, knowing that he could not take Lin Shu alone.
According to the rumors, this kid was very likely to become the richest man in China. Even if he wasn't, he wouldn't be far from it.
And how long did it take? According to the investigation, it had only been about a year.
How terrifying was this business? If he could control it, with such a huge amount of financial resources as support, he could quickly build a strong army, occupy a province, and even unify China. It was not impossible for him to restore the throne.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's face turned red, and his breathing quickened.
Unfortunately, he could not swallow this piece of fat meat for himself now. This made him unable to help but gnash his teeth in hatred.
With a heavy sigh, he left. He didn't know what he was going to do.
Zhou Xu was not the only one who had designs on Lin Shu. There was a bandit lair in the east of the Tang Shan Prefecture, which called itself the Black Wind Mountain.
There were nearly a thousand bandits, all of them bloodthirsty and often plundered the surrounding villages and towns. The number of innocent civilians killed by them was no less than that of the Japanese.
They had been staring at Lin Shu for some time.
Lin Shu naturally did not know that he had been remembered by someone. At this moment, he was sitting in his office thinking about what to do next.
The economy was developing at a fast pace. Cigarette, penicillin, black stockings, ultra-thin condoms, and all kinds of things that were beyond the era were bringing him a lot of income at every moment.
He would also invest most of his income into the county to stimulate development.
This couldn't be rushed.
He was thinking about military matters.
He had 14940 merit points. Staring at this four-digit number, Lin Shu had been thinking for a long time.
"System, I want to exchange for a tank."
In the end, he made up his mind.
The System replied,[You need to build a war chariot factory.]”
"Alright, state the price.”
Lin Shu pursed his lips. He knew it.
System: "War chariot factory requires 100 merit points and 1000 employees. Can only be used to produce war chariots in the war chariot factory. Daily production ×10. War chariot factories are only responsible for production and maintenance. Each maintenance is one-tenth of the production price. They are not responsible for storage.”
"I don't need you to store it. Start building it near the center of the empire.”
"When the war vehicle factory is completed, we will produce five German Tiger tanks and five Sherman M4 tanks.”
Just these 10 tanks alone cost 1200 merit points, and this did not include the cost of personnel and ammunition.
"The German Tiger and the Sherman M4. Leave one tank for each type of tank without any personnel.”
Eight tanks, combat personnel, five units of ammunition, and 100 tons of heavy fuel. This cost nearly 200 merit points.
After that, Lin Shu spent 2,000 merit points to summon more than 100 talents in tank manufacturing, as well as two types of tank production technology, blueprints, information, and data.
Tanks were not like rifles. They were more complicated. With the support of blueprints and data, they could be deciphered and studied faster.
