"Sign in successfully!"

"Acquired 4 Schneider SEL 75mm light infantry guns and 4 tons of ammunition."

"Well, this is a good thing!" Lin Hongfei showed a satisfied look.

"This infantry gun can be broken down into 11 parts, and the heaviest part is only 40 kilograms."

"For people who do physical work all year round, this heavy load is not a particularly difficult thing."

“Very suitable for the mountainous and rugged terrain of Lingnan Province!”

Lin Hongfei, who came to the study room early after breakfast, was very satisfied with today's sign-in results.

During this period of time, in addition to some guns and ammunition, canned food, and medical supplies, Lin Hongfei also signed out a lot of big guys.

The first is 8 French Renault tanks. Including the previous 2 tanks, Lin Hongfei now owns 10 tanks, which can be said to be the only one in Lingnan Province.

For this reason, Lin Hongfei asked the Armored Weapons Section of Jiangbei Lecture Hall to increase the training of tank crews to avoid the embarrassing situation of existing tanks that no one can drive.

Secondly, and what surprised Lin Hongfei the most, were the four English Camel biplanes. This aircraft can be said to be one of the best fighters during World War I.

Regarding these four Camel aircraft, Lin Hongfei was not in a hurry to take them out of the system space for use. After all, he did not have ready-made pilots on hand.

However, the matter of pilots is not difficult. In fact, as early as the second year of Xuantong in the former Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1910, China's earliest aviation airport, Nanyuan Airport, was established in Fengtai, the capital.

Three years later, the Beiyang government established the first formal aviation school in China - Nanyuan Aviation School in Nanyuan.

When Zhang Xun was restored to power, Marshal Duan also asked students from Nanyuan Aviation School to fly planes to bomb the Forbidden City.

However, this so-called bombing was just a pilot flying a training aircraft, carrying three grenades with him, then flying over the Forbidden City and throwing the grenades down.

Although no one was killed, the people in the palace were frightened!

Therefore, it is not difficult to find flight instructors in China. If you really can't find one, then let Wayne look for a few from abroad. Just two years after the First World War, he found one or two pilots who had participated in actual combat.

It's not difficult.

Regarding this matter, Lin Hongfei sent a long-distance telegram to the capital, asking Wu Yushu to go and explore Yushuai's connections and find out one or two of them.

If he can't find one, let Wayne go abroad to recruit some veteran pilots.

The third more important harvest is the two river gunboats.

It is a Russian-made tower gunboat with a displacement of about 950 tons. Its weapons are two 152mm main guns and four 120mm secondary guns. It can be called a small boat carrying big guns.

The other one is a German-made 'Qingdao' class gunboat with a displacement of 270 tons and equipped with one 88mm gun, one 50mm gun, and three machine guns.

Lin Hongfei did not take these two warships out of the system space. It was not that he did not want to use them, but that warships also faced the same situation as tanks, and there were not enough professionals.

With the current number of personnel in the Marine Police Brigade, there is simply no manpower available to operate these two gunboats.

Therefore, in recent times, the Navy Department of Jiangbei Military Academy has been very busy. Every day is full of theoretical courses and practical teaching, and the students of the Navy Department basically have no time to rest.

In addition to the above three types of weapons, there are also 6 French m1897 75mm artillery pieces. Of course, this artillery has a more famous name in later generations [Second Battalion Commander’s Italian Cannon].

There are also 25 mortars, 15 military trucks and 50 Maxim heavy machine guns.

With these sophisticated weapons and the end of the battle with the 34th Division, Lin Hongfei finally had time to reorganize and reorganize the new 16th Division, which had more than 10,000 people.

Originally, Lin Hongfei was worried about the insufficient number of officers, but with the arrival of a group of senior Anhui officials such as You Feng, the matter was resolved.

Two days later, Lin Hongfei and a group of confidants formulated a reorganization plan for the new 16th Division. This time the plan was very detailed, even down to the whereabouts of each ordinary soldier.

Because the number two figure Wu Yongquan went to the capital to find a relationship with Yu Shuai, Chu Liangyi was responsible for reading out the general content of the plan at the reorganization meeting of the Sixteenth Division.

"The newly formed 16th Division currently has 12,682 troops, including 1,947 civilian, logistics and other non-combatants."

"According to the reorganization plan, the new 16th Division has 2 infantry brigades, 1 division with a tank company, 1 division with a field artillery battalion, and 1 division with a guard battalion."

"The original Jiangdu County Water Police Brigade has been reorganized into the division-affiliated gunboat brigade and the local Jiangbei Marine Police Brigade."

"The designations of the two infantry brigades are the 161st Brigade and the 162nd Brigade!"

"Each infantry brigade has three infantry regiments and one mortar battalion!"

"Among them, the 161st Brigade has the 101st Regiment, the 102nd Regiment, and the 103rd Regiment."

"The 162nd Brigade has the 204th Regiment, the 205th Regiment, the 206th Regiment..."

After roughly speaking about the establishment of the new 16th Division, Chu Liangyi looked at Lin Hongfei. After Lin Hongfei nodded slightly, Chu Liangyi continued:

"The newly established 16th Division will be commanded by Commander Lin Hongfei!"

"The deputy division commander and chief of staff will be served by Commander Wu Yongquan!"

"I, Chu Liangyi, will serve as the commander of the 161st Brigade!"

"The commander of the 162nd Brigade is Guo Lang!"

"····"

After reading everyone's appointment, Chu Liangyi took the lead to sit down, and Lin Hongfei added:

"In addition to military duties, there are also changes in domestic affairs!"

"First of all, Huo Yunshan is removed from his position as director of Jiangdu County Industrial Bureau and appointed as director of Jiangbei Industrial Bureau, responsible for managing light and heavy industry matters in Jiangbei area."

"Wu Qiusheng was removed from the post of chief of Jiangdu County Police Station and appointed as director of Jiangbei Police Station."

"Lu Xiwa was removed from the position of chief of the Jiangdu County Police Department and appointed as deputy director of the Jiangbei Police Department."

"Appoint You Feng as the captain of the Jiangbei Marine Police Brigade..."

After saying this, Lin Hongfei looked at everyone present and said with a serious expression:

"More than a year ago, my brothers and I came to Jiangdu County with great ambitions to seek a future."

"Now, I have become the governor of Jiangbei, and all seven counties in Jiangbei are under my control. In this troubled world, I can be regarded as a small figure."

"But I hope you will not be complacent and degenerate, thinking that being a local emperor in Jiangbei is enough."

"One Jiangbei is not enough!"

"We still need to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"
