Although Leo and Yang Rui are brothers of life and death, they have no room for anything when discussing the matter. He agreed with Zhong Tourism and asked again: "Zhong, Yang, I don't have much say in the forest railway matter, but no matter what kind of railway, it requires a lot of steel and a huge amount of funds. There is also immigration. The Russians lend each household two hundred rubles to farmers who immigrate to the Far East. How much can we give immigrants?" Leo understands Yang Rui's plan and goals, but it is precisely this that he reminds Yang Rui that it takes a huge amount of funds to complete such a grand plan. What is the army? The army is industrialization, and to achieve industrialization requires money. Especially under the current uncontrollable low tariff situation in China, it is even more difficult to raise the money for running an industry.

Yang Rui, who has a little knowledge of history, is still quite confident about immigration. Although the Northeast has not fully opened up the ban, the famine within the pass will cause a large-scale increase in refugees to the Northeast. As long as the guidance is good, these immigrants may not be able to come to their own controlled areas. They do not need too much money. Just give them land, food, seeds and agricultural tools. "Leo, I know that funds are the key to the plan, and I am very sure about this. I will solve this problem next year, believe me." Yang Rui replied.

Since Yang Rui knew about this issue, Leo no longer had an in-depth conversation on this issue. "There is no problem with transportation and population, then the next step is weapons production. Christian's relatives can get machines. Although they are also German goods, they are not from the Royal Arsenal, but from the Ihart Gun Factory."

Yang Rui was inexplicably aware that he had never heard of the name of this factory at all, "Aihart Gun Factory? Is the factory big?"

Leo is still familiar with the situation of this factory. "Yes, the Aihart gun factory is in Düsseldorf. It is said that it was named after the founder. The factory is called Rheinmetall Engineering Company. It was not used to do this, but the company acquired the Somaida Arsenal in 1901. Now the factory is quite large. At the end of last year, they took many Russian orders. I heard that there were 500,000 light detonators. News from Christian said that after the end of the Russian-Japanese War, the factory will sell some of the temporary added machines. If the war ends next year, it will not conflict with your plan to build a factory in 2006."

I was so dizzy that it was Rheinmetallurgical. It seemed that this company later produced Leopard tanks and 88 anti-aircraft guns. Yang Rui was a little excited for a moment. He never thought that the company was mainly producing bicycles and spring farm tools, and it was not as good as it was later. "Leo, can we send people to this company for internship?" Yang Rui thought of Xu Huafeng's group of people at the time, and immediately thought of sending people there to learn the advanced technology and production experience of Daniu Company. "The number of people is not many, only about twenty people."

This inspired Zhong Guanguang next to him, and he also said: "There are also steel mills, we also need to send people to study. It is not enough to rely on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau alone."

"I have to ask Christian to know this, and it will take some time." Leo fully agreed with Yang Rui's internship. "However, Yang, more than 20 people cannot support an arsenal."

Yang Rui and Zhong Guanguang looked at each other and smiled and said, "We have arranged hundreds of people to intern in the American arsenal. The plan has been going smoothly, so there is no problem at all." According to Situ Meitang's feedback, the American talent training plan has begun to be implemented, and the first batch of personnel have entered the arsenal. Yung Wing has no problems, and he can also select personnel and contact the factory with all his heart and responsibilities, without any signs of bad behavior. This made Yang Rui feel much more relieved, and he also became increasingly confused about why Yung Wing did that. After being followed by Zhigongtang, the two people who were secretly photographed on the same day found that they were a famous local detective. As for whom he hired, they didn't know, but the detective's customers were all famous people in society. As long as they had time, it would not be too difficult to find out.

Renn spread his hands and looked helpless, "Oh, you all have arranged it, my worries are unnecessary."

In addition to coal, steel and military industry, there are actually many things in the construction of the industrial system, such as oil pressing plants, grain and oil companies with flour mills as the core, as well as indigo, ginseng, tussah silk and other local sales companies in Northeast China. However, these have been discussed in detail with Zhong Guanguang before. When people were sent here this time, dozens of graduates from the management training class in Shanghai will come to the modern management system taught by Yang Rui to fully support these factories and the operation of the company. I believe that these companies will soon bring high profits to the revival.

The discussion at the meeting soon reached the military. Now there are 2,100 new recruits and veterans, and they can be organized into a regiment. It is enough for low-level squads and platoons to be enough, but it is difficult to have qualified commanders at the company level. Military is a science, but experience is also extremely important. As for Yang Rui himself, it is completely fine to ask him to be a company commander. If he wants to be a battalion commander, the regiment commander would be very nervous. Even if he doesn't fight, just marching, the team of thousands of people is completely different from a company with one or two hundred people. If he is accidentally in trouble.

Leo said: "We must continue to expand our army. Of course, this is calculated based on the number of rifles and bullets. Each gun is guaranteed to have 500 bullets. In this way, we can recruit about 6,000 teams. We don't need to worry about grassroots officers. When the army is trained, the second batch of graduates will come back."

Yang Rui didn't mind that his regiment commander became a brigade commander. Who doesn't like his many soldiers? "But, Leo. We don't have so many battalion commanders. Such troops have no combat power and are easy to be confused." Yang Rui expressed his concerns, which is also the fundamental reason why he has not expanded his army a lot.

Leo shook his head, "No. Yang, you are wrong. As you said before, excellent officers can only grow up in actual combat, not through training. We can lead a regiment of more than 2,000 people to fight, and the other 4,000 people only serve as supplements and reserves. Twenty reserve companies can be set up, but no battalion commanders are set up. After the officers grow up, we will form other regiments."

This method is practical, but the price is the life of the soldiers. Yang Rui, who had experienced a battle, knew that there was no mercy on the battlefield, even for his own people. Another problem was that his own people would inevitably cause great momentum. The news of Lin Qi's death could not be concealed. The entire east road knew that another powerful bandit was born. From General Fengtian Zengqi to ordinary people, were they worried that this bandit would attack the county town and harm the place. From Andong to Hailong, nearby counties were strengthening the city defense and waiting. Yang Rui could not think of any other solution and said, "It's all that is possible. Recruiting soldiers, there are still many carpenters in Linjiang. I didn't dare to recruit more last time, so I could recruit more this time. Now there are only one battalion with more than 700 people, so let this battalion go out to fight first."

Speaking of this, Yang Rui asked Zhong Guanguang again, "How is the grenade I mentioned last time? We don't have a single cannon, so we can only count on this." Before the arsenal was established, Yang Rui had to use earthen grenades to charge the number. After purchasing the coal mine of the iron plant, the iron smelting furnace inside was also taken over. Zhong Guanguang now transferred all the iron smelting masters to Erdaojiang. It is still possible to use this foundation to make grenade bodies. Gunpowder can only be black gunpowder, and saltpeter sulfur is solved locally. As for the information tube, because it is simply detonating black gunpowder and does not require detonators. The required potassium chlorate, red phosphorus, barium nitrate and glass powder were all shipped last year. The information tubes do not use much medicine, and the reserves of these things can be supported until the end of the Russo-Japanese War.

Zhong Guanguang also attaches great importance to this. "Mr. Huafeng sent three students to come. Now it has been officially finalized and produced. There are only a few hundred this month, but you can get three thousand next month." After that, someone asked to take the samples. The grenades still use the wooden handle type commonly found in Yang Rui's old movies. In order to increase the block shape of the broken pieces, the weight of the iron bullet is only more than half a pound, but I don't know how the lethality is. Zhong Guanguang took one of them and introduced: "The entire bullet weighs about 650 grams, with a delay of four to five seconds, and can be thrown to about 60 meters. The black gunpowder is filled with four

Hundreds of grams, if you follow the column-forming charge you mentioned, then there are more than 20 pieces of fragments, and the effective killing is about five or six meters. If you charge the drugs according to ordinary methods, the lethality will be very small, with only a few pieces of fragments and a killing range of only two or three meters." When Yang Rui was secretly happy about his wise and magical stealing of a certain technology from a novel in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhong Guanguang said again: "But if you want to install all such column-pressing charges, the yield is very low. There are only 6,000 pieces per month. You are afraid of accidents and if you lose another machine, the yield will be reduced by half. Do we also consider it..."

Black gunpowder suppression is not a stable job. Two of the four machines were blown up. Fortunately, because of the safety measures, a few operators were disabled. The girls and children were scared to death. In order to keep the production confidential, Zhong Guanguang bought dozens of girls and children along the way when he came back from the Beijing Railway. Now these people are responsible for the production of grenades. The use of child labor in the Revival Association has reached a very common situation. From then on, the suppression work has become medical operation because of safety measures. The production speed is extremely slow. Each machine only presses 100 medicine columns a day, and only produces more than 3,000 yuan a month.

The national curse reappeared. If he had known, he would have decided to have ten or twenty pieces. Yang Rui cursed himself in his heart. He thought that he would use explosives in the future, so there would not be many such black gunpowder presses. These spiral presses were designed and completed with the assistance of Leo's relative Kohl. They were produced in Germany. Because they were customized, it was expensive and the high cost made Yang Rui only ordered four pieces. But no matter how much he regretted it, it would be useless. It would be better to make sure that these two machines would not have any accidents. "It is not possible to load drugs without column pressure. The lethality of ordinary charges is too small, and it is no different from setting up a big firecracker. Just slow down. Don't have any more accidents. We have to go to war with the Russians and Japanese for several months, and we can still wait for a while. There are also bullet bodies, wooden handles, and information tubes that are all intensified. If you are too impatient, you can only go to the big firecracker."

When Yang Rui and Zhong were talking about this novel weapon, Leo was fiddling with this novel weapon. Although he had heard Yang Rui say it many times in Africa, the research team led by Ludwig was only studying the fire device with detonator loading smokeless gunpowder, and the finished product has not been made. This was the first time he saw the real thing. He fiddled with the wooden handle and twisted the tweezing rope and was curious, "Zhong, is this a detonator?" Leo felt that this should be a tweezing rope.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Guangui quickly snatched the grenade and said, "No, black gunpowder is used inside, so don't detonate this is a detonator, but if you pull it, we will die here."

Leo said curiously: "Yes, yes, I guessed it right. Pull down the fuse and throw it hard, right? This thing is smaller than I thought, and the throwing distance should be very far. How can it be. The clock?"

Yang Rui interrupted Leo's conjecture and said, "Leo, you will see the power of the grenade soon, but we also need to discuss the specific details of the dispatch of troops. Should we go north, south or west?"

"To the north and south?" Leo looked at Yang Rui for no reason.

"Here on the back of us," Yang Rui pointed to the location of Jiapigou, "There are about a thousand Russians, a small number of them are cavalry. They mainly defend the gold mines here. To the south is Andong. The Japanese have landed in North Korea and will soon attack here. About tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides will fight in this area. As for the west, they are along the East-Qing Railway and at various stations, there are Russian troops stationed here to protect them."

Leo remembers that Yang Rui was favoring Russians before, "Yang, didn't you want to help Russians before? Why has it changed now?"
